Reminiscent of Al Gore inventing the Internet, Jenna stated, "I kind of paved the way for this kind of mainstream exposure," referring to the significant crowd in attendance, and then claimed, "ClubJenna is one of the biggest forces in this industry, by far and away." These are very bold statements. Without doubt she has contributed more than simple girl-goo to the plethora of product available and the general social acceptance the porn industry is accumulating, but she is not the only player who has provided forward momentum. What about those boring legal eagles who fight a daily battle in many areas of this country just to allow ‘Jenna's public' access to her efforts? Is the remarkable career of Nina Hartley so trivial? (Not if you've seen this.) Are there larger effects at play than Jenna's vagina? (Make your own comparison here.)Personally, I think the credit due the existence of Etruscan erotic pottery is grossly underrated, but would still be hesitant to insist on its seminal significance to today‘s realities.

Jenna Jameson does deserve credit (as if the happy ka-ching of a stuffed cash register alone is not enough to make her lifework a satisfying endeavor) for a remarkable career in pornography that extends beyond the ability to take a cum-punch cocktail and crack a smile. Not being in front of the camera does not mean that she will no longer be a player in the biz. With (soon-to-be) ex-husband, Jay Grdina, ClubJenna was created in 2000 (they married in 2003). Between them, a model of content creation and delivery was unleashed on an appreciative internet audience. Diversification into merchandising of adult toys, lingerie, perfume, and video games sold through mainstream retailers pushed the bottom line to ever-higher heights. One could, if so inclined, even purchase ‘moan-tones' from the ClubJenna wireless provider. We're talking serious multimedia here folks. These efforts were successful enough to result in ClubJenna's subsequent buyout in 2006 by Playboy Enterprises, another entity with some claim to significance in the field of adult entertainment. In light of present circumstances, it remains to be seen whether that acquisition will pay off as intended.

Another aspect in which Jenna deserves credit is her fight against onerous zoning regulations intended to strangle strip clubs in Scottsdale, Arizona. In particular, she organized a petition drive that culminated in a referendum that overturned the rules that would have put many people out of business. She's obviously not the only one involved in such efforts, but I think we can all appreciate her visibility on our behalf.

But do such achievements justify her apparent contempt for what got her to where she is today? Click on over to this movie, check out a scene or two (I recommend three or more), and then make your own decision as to whether or not her spreading her legs for the industry was really so distasteful. It may well be that she's a much better actress than previously given credit for. Maybe Meryl will be missing some sleep in the months to come. But I don't think so.

My own opinion, for what it's worth, is that Jenna was just a bit impolitic in the expression of her desire to get out from under the harsh lights that can inspire multiple mutilations by cosmetic surgeons, and perhaps, to provide some psycho-sexual reinforcement to a potential life-partner (With performance issues? Steroids will do that to you). Appreciating her extant body of work, I have no complaints. I just hope that she has the opportunity to drop her drawers should her fans or colleagues decide she deserves it up the ass for her indiscretion. At least she'll be able to keep her legs together (more or less).

Kelly Rowland still alive, wearing bikinis
Source: www.thesuperficial.com/

To help lift our spirits after all the Heath Ledger business, here's Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child in a bikini. I was always convinced Beyonce kept her former bandmates locked in a trunk, but it looks my theory was incorrect. Just like the time I thought Justin Timberlake shot all the members of N'Sync and made sneakers out of their skin. Hey, those high-tops looked like Joey Fatone. How was I supposed to know JT just stepped out of the rain and walked through an unswept barber shop?

Brandy's mom sues Kim Kardashian
Source: www.thesuperficial.com


R & B singer Brandy’s mom Sonja Norwood claims that she gave her credit card to Kim Kardashian so she could make “one (and only one)" purchase. Kim was Brandy’s stylist at the time. However, according to Sonja, Kim went crazy with the card then let her family take it for a spin. TMZ reports:

According to the suit, Kim allegedly gave the card to other members of her family -- Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr. The suit claims in 2006, the Ks racked up $62,793.83 in unauthorized charges. And, in 2007, they blew another $57,841.82. The total: $120,635.65! And get this for audacity: the suit claims the Kardashians charged thousands of dollars in their own stores, Dash and Smooch. It's unclear why Sonja didn't just cancel the card.

So the Kardashians had the card in 2006 and 2007, but Sonja didn't cancel it? That makes total sense. Whenever my credit card gets stolen by strippers (God, they're crafty.), I always sit around for a year or two before I cancel it. Mostly because they threaten to come to my house and rip up my comic books. I really need to stop wearing my Spider-man pajamas to the nudie bar...
