i love how elizzardbeth is silent during the entire clip. she should be silent more often.
annie says – reply to this

Her hair looks good but no one with a notorious porn career will actually be able to switch to mainstream.

I so couldn't even watch the interview. Too cringe-inducing for me.
markyboy says – reply to this

Good for her ! Hopefully more porn stars will break into the mainstream too. Only then will we finally have some REALLY good looking people who can act in the mainstream entertainment industry. YOU GO GIRL !!!!! It's time for this barrier to finally go away !

Hot Dogs and Hamburgers says – reply to this

The other day, the elitist snob Barbara was talking as if eating hot dogs and hamburgers was beneath her. Bet she took a shower as soon as the interview was over.
Chubberly says – reply to this

45

Barbara is my hero. I wish they grilled Jenna like they did Ron Jeremy. Babs should be disdainful…bringing porn on the View. Wrong man, just wrong.
Lindsay says – reply to this

Re: annie –

Traci Lords did, and she's arguably the most notorious porn actress ever, since she was under 18 when she did most of her films, and almost brought down the entire industry when they found out she had been faking her age. She's done TV and some movies. She's not by any means A-list but she did it.

She's quite likeable isn't she? I laughed at that stuck-up little republican's face! I reckon Zombie Strippers will be a cult classic. I love cheezy shit like that!

Shante says – reply to this

56

Thanks for posting the video of Jenna. I loved her comments to Elizabeth Hasselback (the most boring person in the world). You know Elizabeth was just pissed because her husband has probably watched JJ's videos a zillion times. ha!
Suzette69 says – reply to this

I dont know why anyone does that show. They are a bunch of judgemental old whores. Good job Jenna.

I love Elizabeth's face. So sour the whole time. I hate stuck up conservative snobs like her.
KVS says – reply to this

62

I will tell you what I like about Jenna - she knows her role. She understands what she's up against, she owns her decisions, doesn't apologize for them, and she works hard. She's a smart woman, do not underestimate her.
jizzle says – reply to this

63

babs and elizabitch seemed to be trying to outdo eachother by showing how repulsive they found the PORN star.. shes a porn star doing stripper movies, why the hell would barbara even want to have her on the show if they find her so disgusting???? GET OVER YOURSELF YOU OLD HAGS!!!
skippy says – reply to this

64

She taped her boobage. She said she was smart. She said the movie had political undertones because she hates the Bush Administration. She admitted her movie, which she was plugging was not a departure for her, it was T&A.
Just becuase she's not buried a part of her body in someone else's body or vice versa doesn't mean she's doing mainstream. People want to see her tt's, and they will.
This is like a really bad reality show where everyone took a hit of acid.
FAKE AS EVER…put she's, as always, a good marketer.
Sheena says – reply to this

65

Re: KVS –
Too true. Thats what I like about her too, she doesn't try and say that she was misguided. She also doesn't use her unfortunate parental situation growing up as a crutch to explain why she's done the things she has. Bravo!
Andy says – reply to this

Re: skippy –

"she taped her boobage"

Nope, check wikipedia. She had them out last year.

Jenna is so down to earth ! She has separated herself from her career, which was obviously good for her. She got through the hard times and is now looking fab as everrr !!
aniania says – reply to this

GO JENNA!!!! Elizabeth,Babs - up your..ss!
Sherri says – reply to this

69

Actually pretty interesting. She's well spoken and she actually didn't seem half bad in that clip. Too bad she felt like porn was the only way for her early on. I think she could have been a host herself if she had tried it!
Heather says – reply to this

JENNA IS A GODDESS! LOVE LOVE LOVE HER! SHE'S ONE OF MY HEROES!
She's a STRONG WOMAN says – reply to this

71

Yeah.. I didn't see much of Barbara, moron. So i'm not sure what you're talking about. Anyhoo, WHATEVER! She's hot. She's smart. She's a cool girl. Any of you who speak otherwise either suck ass in bed, or can't get any to begin with. Slut talk and bitch this and ugly that, shove it up YOUR ugly asses. You go out and make a name for yourself and a gob of the money she's earned. Having sex for it, attempting to sing for it, reading scripts for it.. it's all the same. Losers.

Perez, Red Lasso SUCKS!!! I can never get their videos to play.
Megan says – reply to this

75

I haven't ever actually seen any of her work, but from what I understand she is an incredibly smart woman and I think that definitely comes across in this interview. I like that she is not ashamed of what she has done and that she does not make any kind of excuses for what many people believe to be questionable behaviour.
She has created an empire, and I think that only goes to show what an intelligent woman she is. How many girls are there out there that do porn, and how many of them have been able to actually to find the kind of success that Jenna Jameson has found?
PA-THE-TIC says – reply to this

76

This is so tragic .
Embarrassing.
Laughable.
Living in a dream world.
Out of touch with reality.
Watching her trying to justify her skankiness , her porn decisions and her nine months of hell . Newsfalsh , it was all during 2007 that she became a stcik and it happened after she started dating the gorilla look a like tito .
Barbara's face was absolutely classic .Look like she wanted to be anywhere but there sitting next to the germs and disease.
This girl could have been something great that evokes dignity, not screwed in every orafice and on video for the world to see . If she has kids , I feel sorry for the embarrassment of the child when that child enters grade school on up .
The only way to redeem herself as a clean , disease free person who is " smart " would be to ditch the leech boyfriend , eat something and do philanthropic work versus stripper zombies…she has made millions upon millions , why not put that toward something charitable and attempt to redeem her nastiness ?
The comments on this thread " Oh she's a smart girl " " SHE'S A STRONG WOMAN ", OH PUHLEEZEEEE , is actually being penned by Jenna herself , lol .
Truly tragic …

So Jenna's face didn't look TOO frozen but it did look kinda scarey even though she is still kinda pretty but certainly looking like she is over botoxing and lip injecting. But what WAS scarey is those chicken legs! GIRL needs to get some meat on those little things, NOT sexy at all! :/
PETA says – reply to this

82

That's really funny.

Barbara looks like "Why are you even sitting next to me, what has the world become?"

Whoopie is thinking "Boy! This is awkward" because she can read Barbara's mind.

Elizabeth acts like "you are not even a worthy human being for me to talk to", she doesn't even bother to argue when she hears the movie has some undertone against Bush administration.

The other two are just sarcastic.

Disgusting people like Jena always likes to say "America is not very accepting" as if people around the world would be fine with porn stars. They like to blame American people and brainwash you that Americans are not open minded.

I have been to different countries, I can tell you that

If she was in Asian countries, people would laugh and spit at her.
If she was in some middle east countries, she would be stoned to death.
If she was in some European countries, reserved Europeans would give her dirty look.

Stop comparing Americans to Europeans, it's not like Europeans are "everything goes", they don't have tons of forums (on TV, internet and other media) like the States for regular people to debate and argue. You don't hear them debate, argue or criticize doesn't mean they accept everything with open arms. It's only because they have much less open forums. They just shake their heads and go on with their daily lives. What else can they do?
Vagina Chronicles says – reply to this

Jenna was a laughing stock .
The scene was nuts and Jenna kept exposing her sweaty armpit , gross.
Joy was taking Jabs , Barbara was in disbelief that she was sitting next to a nortorious hooker , Whoopi was nervous , Elizabeth was laughing on the inside at how low the view has actually stooped to let a " porn star " be on one of their interview segments and the black girl was the only one really affable .

If I were Jenna , I'd be so utterly embarrassed .
On the other hand though DENIAL isn't just a river in Egypt , apparently that is how she copes being such a disgrace and a dirty whore.

Re: Ally – Hey , not as skinny as 2007 Tito . Nice try.
AVN??? WHA ??? says – reply to this

Re: Ally – What is AVN awards ?
A Very Nasty Vagina Awards show ?And you watched this and took mental notes down to the year 2005 ?
This has got to be Jenna posing as Ally !

It looks like she has AIDS or her cancer has returned.
What a shame.
Oh and I love how she tries to represent PETA and then you see this massive fish she is posing with , so proud that she and that ugly guy caught while fishing .
Traitor *phony* dirty* diseased *whore.
She reps PETA ??? says – reply to this

91

Re: YOWZA – OMG! I saw that picture and there were several more fish lined up that they had caught on the deck. Huge fish .
She is trying to represent PETA ? No way .
And she kills these large fish that she is not going to eat anyway .
No wonder Tito looks so fat . He's eating all the food .HAHAHAHA
It's actually not funny , it's sad .

i think it is pretty cool that jenna makes no apologies for who she is and what she's done.she seems very comfortable in her own skin, which unfortunately alot of people don't.and plus she looks great!!!

Re: MADONNA – AMEN
THE PALMS says – reply to this

94

I am laughing my big fat ass off.
She is trying to go mainstream with that awful cheesy D movie ?? Stripper Mummies ? WTF?
She would have been much better off doing a remake of Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Where is this woman's dignity ?
My brother was in Vegas at the Palms and saw her and that guy with the gigantic head that she's always with and this group of women passed by them and one of them took out her Binaca breath spray and started spraying it toward Jenna. The woman was obviously drunk , but still if it were me , I would have died of shame. Everyone in the area saw it and was laughing .
