85. Sasha Grey

Sure, Jenna Jameson is a household name, and other San Fernando Valley starlets occasionally pop up in mainstream Hollywood productions, but Sasha Grey may be the first true star to cross over from the realm of porn. Her darkly sultry (and silicone-free) looks fall comfortably between girl-next-door and girl-on-the-stripper-pole. And while Grey’s recurring role as herself on HBO’s Entourage wasn’t exactly a stretch, her turn as a high-end prostitute in Steven Soderberg’s The Girlfriend Experience earned generous praise from critics like Roger Ebert. Who says Hollywood can’t respect an actress who has sex on camera?

49. Jenna Jameson

It’d be easy to write off Jenna Jameson as nothing more than a porn queen who had her moment. Look closely (we know it won’t be difficult), however, and you’ll realize the platinum-blonde adult entertainer has a remarkable amount of business savvy for somebody who earned most of her living in flagrante. Want proof? In 2000, near the height of the dot-com boom, Jameson founded ClubJenna, an X-rated video service that shot and produced its own material. The success of that venture made Jameson a millionaire. She’s also hosted a reality show on Playboy TV, made a cameo on Family Guy, and wrote a best-selling memoir, 2004’s How to Make Love Like a Porn Star. We’re still waiting on the adaptation, Hollywood.

The top 10 list includes …

1. Jennifer Aniston
2. Raquel Welch
3. Marilyn Monroe
4. Britney Spears
5. Madonna
6. Ursula Andress
7. Bettie Page
8. Pamela Anderson
9. Jane Fonda
10. Angelina Jolie

I got an email today from an online retailer promoting the latest release from Club Jenna.  I could barely believe my eyes.

Who the hell is approving these piece of shit low budget productions?

How do they go from creating such great works of art to creating what can only be described as backroom trailer trash?  Just look and see for yourself.  The first image is from a box cover from a  Club Jenna movie of days gone by.  The 2nd is from a movie just released.

Just looking at that box cover conjurers up images of seedy dealings, low budget porn producers of the 1970′s and ’80s and crack whores, not the glamous image Playboy owned Club Jenna normally, or at least used to like to portray.  Who the hell is approving this shit?

How much do porn stars make?

Things have changed a lot over the years.  In past interviews Jenna Jameson would claim she started out making as much as $6,000 a scene and that towards the end of her career she was making as much as $25,000 a pop.  Who knows if these numbers are really true but I can tell you that today’s porn stars don’t make anything close to that.  Things just aren’t what they want before.

Not only because very few porn stars even attempt to build up their brand like Jenna did but also because movie sales aren’t what they where even just a few years ago.

There is nobody that is going to pay $6,000 a scene or even $4,000 or $3,000 for that matter, I don’t care how hot the chick is.

So then what do porn stars make? Well that really varies on a lot of factors.  It could be anywhere from $50 a scene to $500 a day on the low end to as much as $2500 for a boy / girl scene on the higher end.

A lot depends on where you are filming, who you are working with and who you are.   The hotter you are and the more well known you are, the more you will get paid.  LA pays significantly higher than Florida does.  Low budget producers in Florida have been known to hire street walkers for as little as $50 and some girls will even work doing two or three different things for $500 as a day rate in Florida.

Whereas in LA, a decent enough looking girl can easily get $300 to $500 on the low in for a boy/girl scene and that can skyrocket to as much as $2,500 a day for the more famous stars.  But even if a girl is really famous, in today’s market it’s not so easy to book the $2500 scenes.   Some girls who were getting that just two years ago, can’t get any bookings today.  It’s not that they are any less hot and they even have more fans and are more famous than they were back then, but people just aren’t paying those kind of rates right now.  Times are tough and paying porn stars the high end fees is the one thing taking a hit when it comes to reducing overall costs.

So to answer the question of “How much do porn stars make” it varies to much to say.  If you are the hottest chick ever, working in LA with the biggest, more established studios then you could probably make $1,500 a scene and get pretty steady work, booking honestly 2 or 3 scenes a week at those rates, especially if you really are Jesse Jane or Madelyn Marie level of hotness.

(FoxNews.com) Just over four months ago, Tito Ortiz hit worldwide headlines after he was arrested following an alleged domestic dispute against his girlfriend and mother of their one-year-old twin boys, Jenna Jameson.

The UFC champ claimed he was trying to help the retired XXX actress amid a relapse to an OxyContin addiction – an accusation Jameson later denied.

But on Sunday night, the two appeared as happy as could be at the MTV VMAs in Los Angeles.

“It’s date night! Sunday date night! We’re mom and dad now so we really don’t go out that often but the VMA’s, this is the spot to be,” Jameson exclaimed to Pop Tarts.

And it seems Jenna is just as comfortable playing a parent as she was playing porn princess.

“It’s always tough, being a mom and dad – it’s the hardest job in the world, but it’s really worth it,” she said. “They speak Spanish so their first word was ‘agua’ which is really cute! We don’t speak Spanish but I’m really trying to teach them as much as possible.”

As far as Tito is concerned, a Spanish tongue is priority.

“With a last name like Ortiz, my parents didn’t teach me any Spanish, so I think they should be bilingual,” he piped in. “They’ve got to know Spanish.”

Jameson is also busy penning a follow-up to her 2004 New York Times bestseller “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star” – although it appears this one shall take quite a different tone.

“I haven’t titled it yet, but I am working on my second book about being a mom and also being ‘Jenna Jameson as a mom,’” she said. “I want to be remembered for being somebody who didn’t follow the rules. I did what I wanted to do and I think it’s really important for women to be free and not be stigmatized. I felt like I led the movement a little bit so I want to be an icon.”

So given her success in what was previously a very male-dominated industry, would Jameson recommend other young woman pursue such a lifestyle?

“No. It’s a hard lifestyle and I made the choice and I was able to get through it unscathed but I don’t recommend it to anybody,” she said.

Jenna Jameson: Celebrities LIE About Sex Tape Victimization – Heidi Montag has stopped crying over her sex tape long enough to talk business with Vivid Entertainment and stands to cash in big. Porn veteran Jenna Jameson says she never bought Heidi’s victim act.

“Why do people do porno tapes, sell them, make boatloads of money, then LIE about being victimized. I know one girl who sold her tape herself,” Jenna tweeted on Tuesday.

“@SOFTBLUSHcom I know one of the girls that acts so prim and proper and sold her tape to get famous. The others I just speculate,” she continued. “I own up to my porn, I don’t cry and say my boyfriend stole it.”

Kim Kardashian has called her sex tape “humiliating” even though she came away from it with a $5 million settlement. Kendra Wilkinson gave teary television interviews talking about her “extremely embarrassing” sex tape after it earned her millions. Danielle Staub said her sex tape was “coming around for a reason,” try as she might to stop it.

Montana Fishburne, for her part, has never been less than upfront about her hopes for her sex tape to bring her riches and fame.

“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape,” she said.

TMZ is reporting that Jenna Jameson and Tito are now back together.

Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz have come full circle — at least on camera — kissing and canoodling during lunch in Huntington Beach, CA yesterday … as if this, this, this, this, this, this and this never happened.

Time really does heal all wounds.

The New York Post reports that porn star Jenna Jameson is to patch things up with her boyfriend Tito Ortiz, just a week after he apparently attacked her and ruptured ligaments in her shoulder, TMZ reported Monday.

The couple of four years will reconcile as soon as the automatic restraining order against Ortiz expires at midnight Monday (Los Angeles time), sources told the entertainment website.

Mixed martial arts expert Ortiz was arrested on a felony domestic violence charge last Monday, after he apparently threw Jameson into a bathtub at the home they share with their twin boys in Huntington Beach, Calif.

The fighter told reporters the argument was sparked by Jameson’s addiction to the painkiller OxyContin, a claim she vehemently denied.

Jameson was later quoted as saying she would work out issues with her boyfriend “for the sake of the kids” — 14-month-old boys Jesse Jameson Ortiz and Journey Jett Ortiz.

Jameson tells UsMagazine.com:

“The events of Monday show how things can get tragically out of hand when people say things in the heat of the moment…my father was trying to diffuse a private issue between two people. Unfortunately, what actually happened has now been dramatically distorted and misinterpreted and remarks that both Tito and I made after the police arrived reflect the state of shock that we were both in.”

Here is the full story from XBIZ about it.

Tito Ortiz Accuses Jenna Jameson of Drug Use

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Jenna Jameson’s boyfriend Monday night accused the former porn star of drug use, specifically alleging that she is addicted to Oxycontin.

Ortiz was arrested Monday morning on domestic violence charges at the Huntington Harbor, Calif., home he shares with Jameson and their twin sons.

He was released on $25.000 bail this afternoon.

A weeping UFC heavyweight champion said he never struck Jameson at a North Hollywood, Calif., press conference, and that a confrontation over the alleged drug abuse led to police being called.

“Jenna will be OK.” Tito also said, “My parents have gone through addiction, and I’m not going to let my family go through that.”

Ortiz said Jameson has been battling addiction to the painkiller for more than a year now, and that he and family members have been protecting her.

“Jenna and Tito have two children together, they planned on spending the rest of their lives together,” Ortiz’s attorney, Chip Matthews, said. “They want nothing more than to work together on this.

“For Tito and her family this has been an uphill battle. Unfortunately this morning she had a relapse,” he said.

Ortiz and Jameson began dating after meeting on MySpace.com in 2006, shortly after she divorced Jay Grdina.

In January 2008, Jameson announced she was retiring from porn performing. She gave birth last year to Ortiz’s twin sons, Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette.

I have posted the entire story for you below from the Houston Chronicle.

Ortiz arrested after fight with ex-porn star girlfriend

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Mixed martial arts star Tito Ortiz was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence Monday at the home he shares with his longtime partner, former adult film actress Jenna Jameson.

Police Lt. Mike Reynolds said Ortiz, the former UFC light heavyweight champion, was taken to the Huntington Beach jail and was released after posting $25,000 bail.

Reynolds said police can’t make an arrest on suspicion of domestic violence unless there’s a “visible injury,” and the unnamed victim’s injuries met that standard. Reynolds wouldn’t elaborate, saying only that Ortiz and the victim have been “extremely cooperative.”

Jameson and her father spoke to TMZ.com and other reporters outside the home Monday. Wearing a wrap on her right elbow, Jameson described herself as “completely shocked” by the incident, saying Ortiz had “lashed out” at her, leaving her feeling “betrayed.”

The 35-year-old Ortiz is among the most decorated and popular fighters in MMA history. He was the UFC’s light heavyweight champion from 2000 to 2003 during the formative years of the sport’s dominant promotion, making five title defenses before losing his belt to Randy Couture.

Ortiz, whose nickname is the Huntington Beach Bad Boy, is a former collegiate wrestler has been competing in MMA since 1997. He has been in a relationship with Jameson since 2006, and she gave birth to twin boys in March 2009.

After his career declined amid several injury problems, including major back surgery, Ortiz left the UFC in 2008 in a bitter dispute with president Dana White, his former manager.

Ortiz re-signed with the UFC last year, losing a split decision to Forrest Griffin in his return fight last November. Ortiz is winless in his last four UFC fights since October 2006, with his celebrity and high-profile relationship with Jameson overshadowing his octagon abilities.

Ortiz served as a coach on the most recent season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” the UFC’s popular reality television show currently airing on Spike. Yet he apparently was forced to drop out of the show during its taping earlier this year, and the UFC already has announced it will replace him with Rich Franklin for the show’s traditional season-ending bout with fellow coach Chuck Liddell.

Legendary porn star Jenna Jameson is accused of stiffing her former lawyers — and not in a good way.

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court., Jameson’s former divorce team — Hersh, Mannis, and Bogen L.L.P. — claims Jenna never forked over $72,312.36 for work dating back to 2006.

In the docs, the lawyers claim they were hired to rep Jenna in her nasty divorce from porn kingpin Jay Grdina — but after they obeyed her every command … Jenna left the lawyers high and dry when they demanded a check.

Jenna should know better than anyone … nobody gives it up for free.

The Boston Herald reported UFC president Dana White announced a deal Friday to bring back Ortiz, the popular mixed martial artist who angrily left the league last year in a bitter public dispute with White over issues of respect and money. “They just gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse, and made up for the things that were done before,” said Ortiz, whose celebrity has outpaced his octagon accomplishments since his last UFC victory in October 2006. “You’ll never hear about money out of my mouth ever again.”

When Dana White was asked about the new deal, he said, “Me and Tito hated each other.”  “We sat down in a room like men and worked this thing out. Tito Ortiz will retire in the UFC.”

Long day of shooting for Playboy, and for PETA!!!! Glad to be home to my boys!

I heard she also took time between the shoot to film a new ad for PETA’s McCruelty campaign against McDonald’s.

Jenna posted on her blog July 15th that she is planning on opening a tattoo parlor in Las Vegas in a joint venture with her brother.

I spent the week in Vegas at hooters with Tito for his store signing. We also discussed opening our tattoo parlor there, with my brother. It’s a done deal so it should be opening in Sept!

I guess we shall see. I bet Tito will be her first customer. Have you seen all his fucking tats?
