Jenna Jameson promotes her new book

http://www.dazereader.com/24000549.htm Jenna Jameson's memoir How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale hits stores tomorrow. VH1 is running an hour-long special tonight (10 eastern, 9 central) entitled Jenna Jameson's Confessions. The vh1.com preview has a slideshow gallery and video clip (which didn't work on my computer even after I tried downloading the suggested plug-in). More interview quotes in this press release.

A wire service teaser pulls some anecdotes from the book about various celebrities Jameson claims tried to seduce her, including Cindy Crawford.

"I kept getting a weird vibe from her," writes the bisexual Jameson. "I knew what it meant, because I'd experienced it so many times before, but I kept dismissing it. It couldn't be true: she was Cindy Crawford, after all ... When I turned my back Cindy reached over and rubbed the back of my neck. 'Ooh,' she cooed. 'Look at your beautiful tattoo!'

"She touched my neck so softly and sensually ... It was too much. She was so larger than life that I couldn't even imagine running my tongue along that trademark mole of hers. So I excused myself to get a drink."

More celebrity encounters.

On another occasion, Jameson had was in the company of Wesley Snipes, his chat up line was, "Do you like it up the *****?" Jameson was not fazed by the question, "Being a porn star, I was used to such questions," Jameson writes. "But Wesley had no idea I was a porn star. Either way, I was offended. I looked at him blankly, stood up, and walked away. That was the first and last time I ever saw him."

Bruce Willis fared only slightly better. At a party once, "He didn't say a word," Jameson recalls, "He pushed me up against the wall and kissed me. After 30 seconds of passionate tongueing, he just walked away without a word." As Jameson was leaving the party, she writes, "A bodyguard walked up to me and said, 'Mr. Willis is waiting in his limousine.' 'He's going to be waiting a long time,' I responded. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and he had crossed it."

Ms Jameson also recounts her sex sessions with the "massively endowed" Marilyn Manson and her encounters with Nicolas Cage who she says smelled like "the distilled sweat of homeless people."

Amazon runs a review-summary from Publishers Weekly:

With its wit (the book is dedicated to Onan), its victim narrative (multiple sexual assaults), its celebrity dish (Howard Stern is actually well endowed), and its frank, one-fisted prose style ("After three hours of sweaty, psychotic sex, she handed me a huge black strap-on"), the queen of porn's autobiography is destined to become a lowbrow classic. Jameson's career began at 16, when she fell for Jack, a tattoo artist. At a party, Jack's neo-Nazi uncle raped Jameson. Unable to face her father, a Las Vegas cop, she moved in with Jack. Within a year, she went from high school cheerleader to stripper to nude model to porn actress, with a stop along the way to become a crack addict. Jameson's life wasn't so much a downward spiral as a freefall into darkness. But, as the porn world would have it, the harder she fell, the more everyone wanted her, and she quickly became a top nude model and porn star, and the country's highest-paid feature dancer, all while leaving a path of carnage worthy of several rock bands. Beneath Jameson's monstrous diva exterior, however, was a girl who just wanted to become a loving mother and wife. After many failures, she finally succeeded, and her X-rated book ends on an uplifting family-values note. Jameson's life was a mess, and with its multiple formats (interview transcripts, movie scripts, advice sidebars, diary entries, cartoon strips), so is this book. But it's a remarkably appealing and honest mess, and should earn Jameson some of the mainstream acceptance she so clearly desires.

UPDATE: Jenna Jameson plugged her book on Howard Stern's radio show Tuesday. An obsessive Stern fan provides a very detailed recap (scroll down to "Porn Star Jenna Jameson Comes In. 08/17/04. 9:20am").
