Jenna Jameson - Jenna Jameson Seeks New Start With Mainstream Film

JENNA JAMESON hopes Hollywood will accept her as a mainstream actress, after swapping porn for regular films.

Jameson, 34, was catapulted into the limelight at the age of 20 and has carved out a career as one of the most successful adult actresses of her generation.

But she turned her back on porn last year (07) and hopes new movie Zombie Strippers will help her find success without sex.

She says, "For me, as a person, it's a natural transition. Most girls are a little bit afraid because America's not very accepting of what I do.

"I wanted people to think of me more as a smart girl rather than just a bimbo. And it was easy for me to do that."

Jameson confesses her role in Zombie Strippers isn't a complete departure from her former career: "There's a lot of T and A. There's a lot of crazy gore. But there's also a lot of political undertones against the whole Bush administration.

"That's part of the reason I did the movie. I kind of fancy myself a political girl."

Hotel sues Phil Spector over $100,000 unpaid bills

LOS ANGELES —

A Los Angeles hotel is suing Phil Spector, his wife and agent for failing to pay more than $100,000 in accommodations for lawyers and expert witnesses in his murder trial.


In court papers filed Wednesday, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites alleged the defendants agreed in a written contract to reserve rooms for the duration of the trial. The lawsuit claims that by the time Spector was acquitted in September, the defendants owed the hotel more than $104,000.


The producer faces a second trial in the murder of actress Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003. He is known for his "Wall of Sound" recording technique.

Watch Led Zeppelin Playing With Foo Fighters At Wembley!

As reported earlier, in what could be the biggest musical event of the year, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones performed two Led Zeppelin songs with Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium last night (June 7).


The rock titans joined the Foos during the encore to rattle through thumping renditions of ‘Ramble On’ and ‘Rock n Roll’ - on the later song drummer Taylor Hawkins switched roles with Dave Grohl.


Embracing the occasion, Grohl told the crowd as Page and Jones joined him onstage: “Tonight this is gonna be the show that we’re gonna be talking about for the next 20 years!"


For those of you who weren’t fortunate enough to be in the 86,000 strong crowd, here’s a collection of Youtube clips of the event.

Eastenders - Michelle Ryan Voted Worst Us Accent

Former EastEnders actress Michelle Ryan has topped a poll of the worst attempts at a US accent.

Ryan, 24, recently starred as Jaime Sommers in the US show Bionic Woman, before it was cancelled after just one season due to the writers' strike.

Comedian Eddie Izzard came second in the Radio Times poll for his performance as Wayne Malloy in The Riches.

Another former British soap star, Anna Friel, took the bronze medal for the worst US accent after her turn as Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles in Pushing Daises.

Surprisingly fourth place went to Hugh Laurie for his Golden Globe-winning performance as Dr Gregory House in the hit show House.

Editor of Radio Times' website, Helen Hackworthy, said: "Just as Dick Van Dyke struggled with his English accent in Mary Poppins, so too are some Brits failing to pull off convincing American accents."

Also in the list of worst accents was Lovejoy actor Ian McShane for his portrayal of Al Swearengen in Deadwood.

Making up the top ten were Sean Maguire in The Class, Minnie Driver in The Riches, Joely Richardson in Nip/Tuck, Louise Lombard in CSI and Dominic West in The Wire.
