Journalist Randi Newton paints a compelling, but not very pretty, picture with this LA Weekly profile —
In February, a random publicist, whom I’ll call Stacy, put me in touch with Jenna Jameson’s “manager,” Allen Meme. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised when I was told she had agreed to an interview with me. Jameson was on the verge on turning 40. This interview would help her in her promised comeback to the porn industry, which she’d left – and denounced – in 2008.
“She could definitely use some good press right now,” Stacey tells me. Jameson told TMZ last November that she was returning to porn to provide for her family, but she’d more recently cancelled all her media appearances after a questionable interview on a Fox New York morning news show. Her words were slurred and incomprehensible; naturally, the footage immediately went viral. She blamed her odd affect on staying up too late and being tired after appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live the night before.
This interview would help. It was not going to be live on camera. I’d be happy with a 15-minute phone call.
Then as quickly as she said yes, she went missing.
“Jenna’s avoiding press right now.” Stacy, the very publicist who’d set up the interview, breaks the news to me.”She fired Allen, she doesn’t trust him, don’t talk to him.”
“I can probably get in touch with her myself.”
“How is that?” she asks.
“I’m a reporter, it’s what I do.”

The entertainment industry overall, and for that matter creative trades in general, are filled with complex, high-strung personalities they bring with them to the job.… Read more »
