I hear some stuff about how hot she is and how she’s crossing over into mainstream films from porn. I saw her on G4’s Attack of the Show and I wasn’t really impressed. I did some “research” and I still wasn’t that thrilled with her. She doesn’t come off as that hot, though she also doesn’t appear that plastic, but maybe in a few years she’ll go through the barrage of plastic surgery that ruined porn stars in the past. What makes her hot? ---

She seems really really really concerned with making people think she’s smart, and I think some people have fallen for it. ---

She’s attractive. And she seems to be avoiding the usual porn-star persona. Not that her public persona is any less contrived but at least she’s trying something different. ---

Her ass is top notch. Slender body without being too thin. She has no implants. She is really into deep throat and anal. And her face is pretty too. Top notch pornstar. Now explain to me what the appeal is of fake boobed, run-of-the-mill sex super pornstar Jenna Jameson. ---

I looked at the first page of pictures that came up on GIS because i couldn’t understand someone not finding her incredibly hot. They don’t do her justice, she looks tons better in porn. Shes drop dead gorgeous. ---

I don’t know a thing about her attempting to break into the mainstream, but physically, she has pretty face and a nice body. What’s not to get? ---

What he said and I’d also like to mention she does her job very enthusiastically. ---

I think she’s hot and she is very VERY dirty (but not weird dirty). She does seem like she’s trying to be taken seriously, I really don’t care though. Honestly, she’d be much hotter if she didn’t talk so damn much. I’m also a big fan of Stoya. She had the brunette thing down too. ---

Well at least she doesn’t sound like a complete idiot when she talks. I wouldn’t be too surprised if she’s one of the smartest porn stars out there. ---

> [@tr0psn4j](#): > > Well at least she doesn’t sound like a complete idiot when she talks. To me, she does. Maybe I’m biased because I have a cousin with a very similar personality (besides the whole porn thing); almost obsessively preoccupied with convincing people that she’s extraordinarily intelligent; if you spent a day with her you’d probably wonder why she didn’t have PhD at the end of her name when her age still ended in -teen. If you spent a month with her you’d realize she’s actually quite an airhead and you’d probably want to ball gag her. Very pretty, though. ---

The recent article in Rolling Stone made her seem like a real bitch. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) The mainstream film she stars in, “The Girlfriend Experience” is getting middling reviews. It’s at only 63% at Rotten Tomatoes at the moment. On the plus side, she is said to use the filthy talk to get herself off during the porn shoots, so she’s okay by me. ---

> [@](#): > > I don’t know a thing about her attempting to break into the mainstream In addition to _The Girlfriend Experience_ mentioned by randwill, Grey’s got two other mainstream credits on the horizon, _Quit_ and _Smash Cut_. It’s a step up from crossing over into mainstream in a movie like _Vice Academy_ or _Zombie Strippers_. ---

She accused Howard Stern of being “racist” against Palestine, presumably\* just because he’s Jewish. I don’t think he’s ever addressed the topic, and certainly never in a serious manner. \*Well, _ostensibly_, I should say. _Presumably_ it was to get booked on the show and plug her projects. ---

> [@mr.jp](#): > > Now explain to me what the appeal is of fake boobed, run-of-the-mill sex super pornstar Jenna Jameson. She obviously got herself THE sharpest, asskickingest agent/PR team in the whole industry. I mean, really, she has managed to be the go-to “pornstar” not just in the trade but for all other media for, what, over a decade now? (That’s like 30 years in pornstar years…) ---
