Aside from him her expressed sexual preference for the catch of the day, lovely Jenna Jameson had a few other outrageous comments to make during a lunch break at the ECVS. She says she truly loves, rough, nasty Rob Black sex [she mentions him by name]. "There's been a few things in my movies that we had to take out that we weren't allowed to keep in," Jenna notes. "I'm probably the only contract girl out there who likes to bone."
Proving that she's still got it as far a her fans are concerned, Jenna's making a comeback of sorts in Wicked Pictures' Dream Quest, and, to that extent, Jenna was lining them up at the IVD booth the way they used to at the old, fabled Capt. Starn's seafood restaurant in Atlantic City.
Jenna says that Wicked Pictures' Dream Quest "maybe is the best thing I've ever done - absolutely. It's the hardest thing I've ever done. Talk about anxiety. It was 18 hour days and an 8-day shoot." Jameson says some of that anxiety was prompted by the fact that there was a lot of press.
Jameson: "When there's a lot of press, it's like they're yanking me here, yanking me there. Everybody wants to talk about things that take a lot out of you. They're asking me about my personal life and all the rumors going around- are they true? Yeah they're true! The funniest one is that I'm a heroin addict. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not a drug addict. I really can't be. For all the press and stuff that I do, you have to be on the ball."
The interview jumps around gonzo-style including Jenna's observation that girls are going to plastic surgeons saying they want to look like her. "I mean, isn't that weird? I've had a lot of girls come up to me and say they're taken my picture to their plastic surgeon. They want my face. I think it's strange."
G. Ross: "Plastic surgery is the highest form of stalking."
Flashing her wrist which features a huge timepiece, Jenna also puts in a plug for the Beverly Hills Watch Company. "They give me a watch a month. As long as I wear it wherever I go on TV and all that stuff."
G. Ross: "Does the deal stipulate that the camera goes for the big zoom-in?"
Jenna: "That's why they give me such big watches."
G. Ross: "Great if you could get a car company deal like that."
Jenna: "That would be huge. I'm pretty much sponsored by Mercedes. They're awesome. Vinny over at Beverly Hills Mercedes is the best."
While on the subject of road testing autos, Jameson was asked about all the roadie rumors claiming she's queen of mean, etc., etc. Judging from her comments, Jameson does not put roadies in the same league as she does Vinny.
Jameson: "Let me tell you something. All these roadies can fuckin' go fuck themselves! Here's another rumor that I'm hard on my roadies. Okay, the thing is when I go out and I work, I work very hard. I expect my roadie to work really hard. I don't expect them to be getting lap dances. I don't expect them to be out talking to the girls. When they're working for me I want them to work. And they get into this party mode where it's fun being on the road with me. There's lots of people, and it's crazy, and all the girls get 'em because they're with me. It gets to be like a party lifestyle.
"I have to admit, when I'm on the road, I'm a bitch from hell. It's really tiring. Sometimes I go six weeks in a row. You're never in your own bed, and it just wears on you. It gets to the point where you're lonely. It's lonely out there."
Jameson calls Scotsdale, Arizona home these days where she's living with director Justin Sterling. "We're very much in love," she says, "and we have a great relationship. He doesn't beat me - that's another rumor. He doesn't supply me with drugs. There's so many things. The reason why I left this business is because it got to the point where I got very bitter. I knew that I shouldn't be in the business if I was going to be angry. Also I took some off and started dancing. Then I got bitter dancing, now I'm back again [in video].
"I'm happy. I just need to relax a little more. I've been in this about six years, but it feels like 20," she says. "I feel pretty old and tired."
You get the distinct impression that Jenna would like to take some time off from the dancing circuit, but she says she's booked a full year in advance. "They book me so far ahead, but I'm going to have to cancel some of these gigs,: she says. "I overextend myself. That's my biggest problem. I have a very hard time saying no to people. So I book myself and I book myself. Then I end up canceling. That's how I get my reputation as a flake."
Steve Orenstein: "Gee, that's like a major revelation!"
G. Ross: "There was this time when you were away that the Déjà Vu story broke…" [Deja Vu first brought the story to geneross.com.]
Jenna: "They fired me 'cause I was late. And they didn't fire me in good way. They told me to go fuck myself."
G. Ross: "They said that?"
Jenna: "Oh yeah. Basically, what happened is they put me on a red eye flight. I was very tired and very sick. I had just come off doing something that was really hard, whatever. I had the flu. I flew the red eye with Nikki [Tyler]. …there we go. Everybody talks about Jenna being an asshole, but Nikki was right along with me! But nobody says anything about Nikki! No, Nikki's the nice guy! Jenna's the bitch. So we get on the plane. We get in and so we're so dead tired. They wanted us to dance that day. This is in Michigan. They were assholes to me the last time I was there. This manager is a total asshole. Anyway, they put us in this shit hotel. In my contract they have to put me in a nice hotel.
"We get to this hotel, and there's no air conditioning. It's 100 degrees. We're dying on top of being sick and tired. Then they tell us our room's not ready. So we had to wait in the lobby until 4 o'clock. We got in around 11. So I'm laying on this couch in the lobby for 5 hours, sick with no sleep. We finally get up to the room. I call Steve Chase my agent. [The Lee Network]. I rant and I rave about this whole situation. I'm tired and he never takes care of anything. He never takes care of me, and I'm his biggest money maker. [Chase and Co. had opportunity several months ago to comment on the Michigan situation.] He actually called me back. Wow. So they [Déjà vu] called me back and told me they wanted me to dance that night. Steve didn't tell me that I was supposed to be dancing that night. I freak.
"I called the club. I said I have to get some sleep. I'm going to have to cancel my show. There's no way I'm going to be able to perform. They said if you don't show up for this show, you can go fuck yourself. I said okay. I got myself on a phone. I booked myself a flight and flew out an hour later and went home. They called me back at home and said, 'We didn't expect you to leave!?' They told me to go fuck myself."
G. Ross: "Nikki, the nice guy.."
Jenna: "Nikki's going, 'Fuck this shit, Jenna.' She's right along with me. When something like this happens to you, it doesn't matter whether you're Jenna Jameson or you're...I better not say. I've got to hold my tongue back…you're going to react the same way. You don't want to be treated like shit, and a lot of these managers have these power trips with girls. They hear these rumors about reputations, and they figure we're going to have to be an asshole to keep her in line. Truthfully, if you talk to a lot of people that I have dealings with, they will tell you that, actually, I'm really a nice girl. A lot of these agents think I'm a bitch just because of these rumors. If you come at me, and you're nasty to me, I will be a bitch."
S. Orenstein: "Jenna's like a rat. You don't want to corner a rat. You know what I mean?"
Jenna [laughing]: "You're calling me a fucking rat?" Who you calling a rat? You talking to me?"
Orenstein: "You're the only rat, here."
Jenna: "A lot of people attack me. They build me up to tear me down. I am nice to people who are nice to me. If you're rude to me I'm a bitch, and I'm probably the biggest bitch you'll ever meet. It's so funny, they call me and Stephanie [Swift] Batman and Robin. She's my young squire."
Orenstein: "It's like training, and the anti-training."
Jenna: "Steve's got his work cut out for him."
Orenstein: "She goes like this…whooooooo, and I go aaaaaaggggh."
Jenna: "Stephanie was on the phone last night screaming at the front desk because they wouldn't give her her messages….'I'm STEPHANIE SWIFT !!!'…Don't you know who I am !!!' That's my famous line. It's a joke, actually. I say it as a joke, because, most of the time, they don't know who I am. So Stephanie was on a roll. She was screaming man, 'You are stupid, incompetent, your policy sucks.' I'm going, oh my God. I wouldn't even do that. She was screaming. It was awesome. She did it again this morning. I don't know what's going on with her. Finally, she's taking some of the spotlight off me. She's in training to be a maniac."
Orenstein: "We call it Bitch Breeding."
G. Ross: "Remember, I can't be held responsible for headlines saying thyat things are falling apart at Wicked."
Orenstein: "Like that story a couple of weeks ago on another site saying I'm up to my ears in debt. First of all, I've never had problems with debt since I've been in business. I've always been in the positive. I've had tight cash flow at times like everybody does, but the timing in the last few weeks when those stories were going up, cash flow was actually better than it's probably been in the last year. And that's when I'm reading how terrible things are going. My mom's my bookkeeper. She comes in and says, 'Remember your buddy, Luke? We're up to our ears in debt.' I said we are? Do you need to borrow some money? Just be careful, we're up to our ears…"
Jenna: "Talking about money, I could use some."
Orenstein: "I'd like to help you out, but I'm up to my ears..."
.Jenna: "Everything's going better then ever, I think."
G. Ross: "If you don't mind my asking, how did you and Justin Sterling get together?"
Jenna: "It was kind of strange. I've known him for a long time….God, he's got more names than a porno girl…"
G. Ross: "And ID's to back up every one..."
Jenna: "Oh shit! I didn't say that. We got together at VSDA [1998]. It was awesome. We tried to keep it under wraps, but, to no avail. We met at the Playboy party at Wet & Wild. I knew that he was good friends with my good friend, Jill Kelly. I asked her if he was still with Chasey [Lain]. She said, no, he hadn't been with her for like a year. That's how far out of it I am. Must be all that heroin. So, I'm really shy with guys. I say, Jill, go put in a good word for me. She went over to him and she said something and he came over.
….oh, you want to hear the funniest rumor? This one's really silly…this is from Emma Nixon, the makeup girl, someone told her that when I was on stage one time, I stuck my finger up my butt and wiped it on some guy's face. That's a pretty good one. Then some taxi driver told Stephanie he saw me the week before dancing and I was squatted on the side of the stage and pee'd across the stage into a trash can. I wish I could do that."
