Pornstar News - Where have you gone Ms Jameson?

What's going on with JJ, man? After she filed for a divorce from her porn actor husband Jay Grdina late last year, she went and lost all that weight. Jameson said on one of those Hollywood tabloid television shows - which I don't particularly care for (it sounds like I'm making excuses, right?) but I heard her story was going to be profiled so I watched the show - that she ran outside everyday and worked out all the time. And that's the reason she gave for being so skinny. She said she actually got down to as low as 94 pounds at one point.

So my question to her would be, "Well, are you eating at all?" And whose workout regimen was the extremely-svelte Jenna Jameson taking on anyways : that of her boyfriend, UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship®) fighter Tito Ortiz?



Then, on or about the first of this month, she went and got her breast reduction. Most men would've cried foul over that fact (and I'm sure a lot of men still would), but Jameson's implants did look disproportionate on her thinner frame.

(Facetiously-speaking, I've got to say it figures, doesn't it? She starts hanging out with Paris Hilton, and all of a sudden she wants to be slimmer with smaller boobs. Hmmmmm...:))

Now, and I guess this is the main reason I'm writing this article is to let those of you who don't know, Jenna Jameson has announced she's not going to act in any porn projects ever again. She says she wants to pursue other mainstream business interests like modeling and starting her own clothing line (more Hilton influences?). She also said she was actively "trying" to start a family, with all the fun connotations that statement implies.

I wish I could quote her verbatim from her TV interview - that way I could discern from Jameson's words exactly what options she's leaving open for herself in terms of an eventual return to being a porn actress.



Because, a lot of times as far as legendary performers in particular fields are concerned, they have to come back in the future to what they know and love to do so much. Indeed, that's why they became great in their chosen fields in the first place. Besides Jenna Jameson in the adult industry, the most obvious other example of the personality type I'm describing is Michael Jordan in basketball. And we all know how he kept coming back...

On the other hand, you've got to figure with all these signs -

1. hanging out with non-porn stars like Hilton;
2. dating someone (Tito Ortiz) not in the business;
3. losing all that weight; and, maybe the most significant omen of all
4. getting her implants removed -

Jenna is geared toward taking her life in a complete 180 degrees from her past. If one didn't know better, and maybe I don't so this is just pure conjecture, one would think she's trying to become the exact opposite of everything she's ever previously stood for. Call it a mid-working-career crisis, if you will.

Nevertheless, if there's one thing we've learned about Jameson in the past is that she gets results and achieves the success she sets out to achieve. Jameson says what she means and intends to do, and she means what she says and she intends.

And Jenna Jameson now means these post-porn goals...

Sex DVD Review - Nine Hartley's Guide To Stripping For Your Partner

Nine Hartley's Guide To Stripping For Your Partner Anyone who's known Nina Hartley or followed her adult career for its two-decades plus long span knows that she enjoys sex and the sex business. That point is very evident in her latest instructional DVD Nine Hartley's Guide To Stripping For Your Partner.

That being said, she brings a maturity and legitimacy to this production, so it's not just a pornographic exhibition but a lesson. As a matter of fact, the
first 13 minutes or so of this DVD involve Hartley and Joli just talking and giving an overview of the course material.

Granted, they are sitting there in lingerie, so it's not a total snooze fest for the guys (I assume the women who are watching are totally into the information being presented, but the guys need a little more than just words. :)). They have something to look at, too.

As Nina Hartley herself points out, she's been in the porn business for a long time. And before that, she'd been a club dancer for even longer. So when she talks about grinding a certain way, or better yet when she actually wiggles her body a certain way, you can tell that she knows what she's talking and walking about. See how she does that "butt move", ladies (and you too gentlemen)? Chalk that one up to experience (and great muscle control ;)).

There are actual scenes in this DVD, much like in a gonzo skin flick. The first one (of two) involves Hartley and the male pornstar Marco (Polo!). In the scene, she carries out her lecture with aplomb, managing to speak fluently - without the aid of a teleprompter or cue cards, it seems. And she subsequently acts on her words, while still looking sexy in the process.

You can tell that she's given instructions on sex before. In fact, Stripping For Your Partner is Nina Hartley's 32nd visual media (video and DVD) guide, according to amazon.com. And every bit of that expertise shows.

For example, here's a key point she brings up: women, you have to first and foremost pick a song to strip to that you not only like, but one that you really love and can really get into.

Another important fact (and not to give all her knowledge away in one fell swoop) Hartley mentions is that women, in particular, have a hard time letting go of all the other different figurative hats that they wear during the course of their daily lives: e.g mother, business exec, etc. But this letting-go process is vital if they are to fully immerse themselves in successful wanton stripping experiences.

As you would expect, given the subject matter, there's a lot of sexual movement (I wouldn't necessarily call it "dancing") and dry-humping and teasing in general in this scene. In other words, chicks will dig this...:)

At some point, the CD playing in the background stops and then Hartley and Marco's sexcapade actually progresses into your typical mature-type porno scene with all the accoutrements: oral, vaginal, and anal sex. You know, guy-fare.

There's a bonus tryst (And by "bonus" I mean a strictly carnal event for viewers to gawk at. There are no verbal instructions here.) where Evan Stone strips for Marie Luv, to present the art of disrobing from the male point-of-view. Oh yes, fellas, the Chippendales franchise is successful for a reason.

Physique-wise, Stone, much like Marco (Polo!) in the first scene, is ripped. The scene is very playful to start with, and Stone is, for lack of a better expression, taken advantage of by Luv. She actually brings her 20s to shove down Stone's pants (Still, from what I hear told of what happens in male revues, Marie Luv conducts herself with considerably more decency than those female attendees...)

I guess what I'm trying to say is, yep, women will love this scene too - maybe even more so than the first one. Guys, on the other hand, might find the first part of this tryst a little tedious.

But here again when the music goes down, it's (porno) business as usual. And gentlemen take note: even though there are no outright lessons taught in this scene, and even though it has nothing to do with the art of stripping, you can learn a lot from this male adult industry veteran on the finer points of oral sex. And to the ladies, you wish your boyfriend/mate did you like Evan Stone does Marie Luv.

Th downside to Guide To Stripping? I can't think of one at the moment other than the fact that it might be too short - it's only 77 minutes long. Then again, this is one instance where a little goes a long way.

This DVD works for both men and women. I recently heard one of those sex specialist doctor persons on a talk show say that, for the most part, the genders take these two different approaches to porn: men just like to watch people have sex (duh), while women want to know the circumstances that led the couple to the love-making in the first place. Voila! Nine Hartley's Guide To Stripping For Your Partner satisfies both the male and female curiosity factor. It's the best of both Mars and Venus' worlds.

But just between you and me, I think these so-called "instructional videos" are just a way for the legally wed Nina Hartley to continue to get her freak on with other guys - right under the very nose of her husband (who directed this DVD as well as many of her previous productions).;)

I mean she really does enjoy her sex...
