Jenna Doesn't Love Judith

Jenna Jameson wants her own reality show and A & E is willing to pay for it.

Sure, why not? Anna Nicole Smith and Farrah Fawcett have shows, Jenna’s cannot possibly be worse. A porn star wanting more mainstream exposure is not necessarily a bad thing. It could be fascinating or it could be simply the same reality show crap we have been fed for years now.

But we may not get to see this particular train wreck. It’s no surprise that it’s all about money. Jenna’s been the best porn star at marketing herself. She makes more money on her website in one year than she made in her entire career of making movies. Her book is a bestseller. And there’s the rub.

Judith Regan at Harper Collins wants her “slice of the pie” (so to speak) since the book agreement included any reality show as the result of the book. Jenna claims the A & E deal was made prior to the ReganMedia deal.

Ladies, can’t we just get along? Probably not. Can we get a hot girl-on-girl court battle broadcast on CourtTV? Probably not. Will this change anything about the quality of television? Definitely not. We will likely never get to see if, in head to head competition, Jenna can lick all of her competitors.

Oh well, my wife probably wouldn't let me watch it anyway.
