Talk about quick turnaround. Ron Jeremy was just heading for San Francisco to film a guest stint on Nash Bridges, and lo and behold, that episode appears this Friday night, 10 o'clock on CBS. Jeremy plays a Peeping Tom and says if his character goes over, he may get another shot on the show.
Jeremy also says Blockbuster is doing a big promotion of a film that went straight-to-video in which he appears. It's called Boondock Saints and stars Willem Dafoe The reason why it never made it to the theaters is that certain elements in the picture come too eerily close to the Columbine Massacre. Nevertheless, it's doing "phenomenal business" at Blockbuster, according to Jeremy. "Variety called it a Pulp Fiction-type of film," he says. Another note - Jeanna Fine also has a bit in it, and Jeremy plays a "mean gangster with an Elvis hairdo" who gets shot. [Jeremy holds the unofficial record for most on-screen deaths in mainstream pictures.]
"It's a great film," says Jeremy. "I'm getting calls from people all over the country about it. It's all over Europe and doing great numbers, and South Africa, as well. It's only in America that it didn't go into theaters and that's a crying shame. But it is doing great."
G. Ross: "So what's this I hear that you and Goldstein have a bet where you're going to have to suck his dick?"
Jeremy: "I actually did make that bet. I won't lie. But I realize I'll do anything to keep that from happening. Even if I was gay, I wouldn't do his penis."
[The wager is that if Goldstein, who's on a diet, gets his weight below Jeremy's, Jeremy has to play the harmonica.]
Jeremy: "There's no fuckin' way he's going to get thinner than me. And if I saw that starting to happen, I would crash diet. I'd move to the desert for three weeks. If I saw him getting close, I'd take a knife and carve the fat out of my body until I bleed to death. No way I'll have that penis in my face."
G. Ross: "So when the two of you go out to dinner, what do you do? Watch each other's plate?"
Jeremy: "I'm so far ahead. I'm heavy, but I'm not in his ballpark, yet. If he thinks he's going to get thinner than me, that's a lot of work. He'll have to go to that fat farm in South Carolina. If he starts doing that, I'll crash myself. I'll become a rail before I suck that penis. I made that bet knowing there's no way he can win it."
G. Ross: "He's bound and determined to have you suck his dick."
Jeremy: "If, God forbid, he actually did do that and got thinner than me, I'd take a one-way to Puerto Rico. I'll get out of town. I'll be a welcher. Better welch than belch. I made that bet not realizing that he takes those kinds of things seriously. He calls me every so often and leaves a voice mail, 'I've got another ten, Ron.' He's plaguing me with it."
G. Ross: "There was a picture of you in Screw with [Scream Queen] Linnea Quigley and Heidi Fleiss."
Jeremy: "I introduced Al to them. That picture was taken at the Friar's Club. We went to lunch. I invited Linnea and Heidi to come along. Both nice ladies. They got along very well with each other. Al thinks Linnea is great. He's going to take her out. She's a real sweet girl. She hasn't done a lot of work, recently. She was a Scream Queen. The thing about her is that she's so cute and still looks terrific. She should get work. She can still scream."
G. Ross: "But now you got Neve Campbell screaming. That's tough competition."
Jeremy: "I put Linnea in a movie. [The Curse of the Lesbian Love Goddess.] In fact it was you who reviewed it. You said the same thing that Celebrity Sleuth said which was nice. You noticed with my little creative angles, you never quite saw her pussy. She was really into it and lost control. I told her I won't see the vagina when I booked her. At least to show I'm a moral guy, I could have. But I wanted to be fair to her. I made her a promise and kept it even though she was letting it show a couple of times, I kept it where you don't see it. I may shoot her again and show it the next time. Who knows?"
