Jenna Jameson will appear tonight at a Scottsdale City Council meeting to try and save her new Club Jenna from a restrictive new ordinance regulating sexually owned businesses that could force the club to fold, her publicist and her Scottsdale-based attorney have confirmed.
Jameson is part-owner of the club currently known as Babe's Cabaret in Scottsdale.
The council will go through a laundry list of options for revising the ordinance. Some of the restrictions would outlaw topless dancing and alcohol, a move that could shut down Jameson’s club and another club called Skin Cabaret, according to published reports.
Jameson, along with several business partners from the adult industry, bought Babe’s in August. The Scottsdale City Attorney’s Office has refused to discuss the issue before tonight’s meeting.
Meanwhile, the East Valley Tribune reported Sunday that Scottsdale police wanted to "intimidate" Jameson with an undercover “sting” operation at her cabaret on August 26. Cops and undercover officers moved through Babe’s looking for violations of the city’s Sexually Oriented Business ordinance, according to the newspaper.
Police gathered evidence that two months later would result in Babe’s employees being charged with 23 criminal citations, the report said.
