Jenna Jameson: Mainstream Celebrity

[ajitpd]

I haven't been much of a follower of Jenna Jameson's work, however, I have been noticing that her news now appear in mainstream media (TV, radio, newspapers etc.) in celebrity related content. A simple Google News search for Jenna Jameson makes this fact easily evident.

My question is: How and when did Jenna Jameson attain a celebrity status in mainstream media?

Jenna had a small role in one of the "Nash Bridges" episodes many years ago. She was a suspect in a crime. I still remember Nash pointing out to Cheech's character, "Look at her. Do you think she could hide anything inside those?" He was referring to her bra size.

I have noticed when an adult performer plays in a film, it is usually blown up to an incident, even when it is a cameo role.

Jenna has played in the zombie movie, though. She appeared credited alongside Robert Englund. Quite an achievement. Yes, Robert has done the whole horror thing to death, literally. It still is noteworthy that Jenna managed to escape ham acting and put some real in her role.

Sasha Grey of course is now hailed as a "mainstream artist." I expect she will do really well, especially looking at her little "PG Porn" things with James Gunn.

They just advertise it a lot in the adult world. So and so has gone "mainstream."

Maybe someone else can give more accurate info such as dates.

i think when she go so friendly with howard stern lots female howard fans started to "accept" her then private parts and her stuff on E! she just slowly moved into mainstream

plus it didnt hurt she was the biggest name in porn and made tons of money

people with connections must know other people. its not just the money, but they want to seal the deal. for instance, as for jenna. she should get into her own clothing line. with both male and female clothes.

Elementary my dear ajitpd, by hiring the right Hollywood agent and publicist.

I think it was like a snowball effect really.

Jenna became a regular on Howard Stern's show, then was featured on E!'s "Wild On" shows (she also made some appearances on Talk Soup as well). Private Parts came out soonafter, which really put her into the spotlight, since it was pretty atypical for pornstars to cross over into the mainstream (I think only Ginger Lynn and Traci Lords and maybe a few others were successful at this at the time). Throw in more mainstream appearances at premieres and being seen with Dennis Rodman, and Marilyn Manson and eventually she became more and more accepted as a mainstream celeb.

But yeah, Howard Stern and E! really got the ball rolling in my estimation.
