I saw a documentary once where they did a whole series of interviews with Porn stars.


It appears a good number of them view porn as a way to gain recognition so they could go into other fields of work. Namely, the music industry and mainstream acting.


But I don't know of any that have made it big. It seems alot of the musicians weren't very good.


Does anyone know of any porn stars that made it into the mainstream? I know Ron Jeremy enjoys cult status and was a favorite in the VH1 Celebrity reality T.V. show. shrug


Midori - Jody Whatley's porn star sister, Michelle - tried and failed to launch a music career.

As did another porn star called India.

Vida Guerra - justifiably famous for her ass - tried to launch a music career too.


I knew jody had a sister named michelle that was into porn but little did
i know that porn movie i saw last year with midori in it was actually
michelle watley. lol

Blu Cantrell never did porn but she has done a layout for a nude magazine
called black tail. She had long black hair then. She dyed her hair when
she got into the music industry. In case you were wondering, yes miss
cantrell has some serious punanny. lol

I remember seeing that layout on some TV show. I've always thought that Blu was very pretty, but her singing career never took off the way I thought that it would. She's quite fierce that Blu.

Actually the documentary had Jodi Watley's sister on it. She has an awful voice. lol



Just once, can't the porn world produce a Christina Aguilera or Van Hunt?

Vanessa Del Rio has been namecheck by rap artists more often than any adult film star. She even appear in one of Biggie's videos as well as a guest appearance on NYPD Blue.

There was a musical video with Jeff Styker singing that was in a porno back in the 80s, but I can't find it anywhere.

It was god awful though, so maybe its a good thing.

Embrace of the Vampire was the name of the movie. and yes, I rented it solely to see her naked. I guess you could call it a soft-core movie - it's basically a bottom-drawer b-movie with a smattering of fairly explicit sex scenes. It also starred Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet, who, as a further aside, was absolutely brilliant in The Krays I thought.

I don't know if any of you are familiar with Domonique Simone, but at one time she briefly toyed with the idea of doing music. I don't think adult entertainers can really make that crossover into mainstream without their past interfering. Like an earlier post stated, Heather Hunter dropped a CD but it was horrible.

By the way, I interviewed Domonique Simone last year and you might be intrigued by what she had to say about the music business.

Vanessa del Rio is without a doubt a Hip-Hop icon. However, she doesn't too much care for that title. She does appreciate that folks give her love, though.

Are you talking about porn or T&A/softcore flicks? I think if Alyssa Milano did real porn, it would be pretty highly acknowledged. I know she did some movies where she showed tits and I guess the pics ended up on the net and her mom made it a whole deal.

The Samantha Fox we all know and love (or at least I do) was a Page Six Girl and did topless photos but apparently there was a different Samantha Fox who did porn. I remember buying some horror movie because I thought the known Samantha Fox was in it but then I learned it wasn't her. I ended up never watching it and sending it back to where I got it.


"Horror movie",huh? falloff Stop lying,we know what kinda movie it really was!!


This is the movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126527/

Doesn't sound like a great movie, but I assmed it wasn't porn and I don't think it was...it's a cheesy b-movie that I figured the UK pop singer Samantha Fox was the star of.

You're right! lol I did some research and found out that there is a porno actress named Samantha Fox,but it is NOT the singer who had the late-80s hits "Naughty Girls Need Love Too" and "I Wanna Have Some Fun".Here's a pic of Samantha Fox,the porn star:

Samantha Fox (the singer) always had a little more plump than Samantha Fox (the adult film actress).

Yes, her voice is absolutely dreadful. She made a few online only rap recordings, which sucked - pun intended. She was also Kid Rock's dancer/back-up singer/girlfriend pre-Pamela. Of her he said: "She was a terrific fuck but a total psycho". Nice bloke, our Kid.

And while we're on the subject of porn rap, let's not forget Heather Hunter, who made an album. What is it with porn stars and rap? Rap's the first refuge of the talentless deluded.

I've heard it's really good. Howard Stern said he used to listen to it and he always assumed it was a bunch of talented but horny guys that just made the music to impress her and didn't mind the fact that she got credit.

I highly doubt that will ever happen. First of all, even with porn going mainstream these days, it's still incredibly difficult for porn stars to cross into mainstream entertainment. Yes, Traci Lords did it (she was my first hardcore starlet I watched horny), and Ginger Lynn Allen did some mainstream acting roles (she's actually from my hometown of Rockford, Illinois), but they are the exceptions to the rule. There have been a few ex-porn stars who got into the WWE, but other than that porn stars still face the stigma of being associated with seedy entertainment. And anyone who has talent like Christina Aguilera or Scarlett Johannson wouldn't do porn in the first place unless they had some life issues (drug addiction, prior child or sexual abuse, domestic violence, rape, incest). Despite what porn stars may say in public, I can't think of a single porn star who had a happy, well-adjusted social and family life before getting into adult entertainment. Anyway, it's extremely hard for porn stars to cross over into mainstream acting, and it's even harder for them to cross into music. The main reason has to do with musical talent, which is no different than anyone else trying to get into the music business, but then they face the porn stigma on top of that. Besides Traci Lords and Heather Hunter, there was a porn star named Dyanna Lauren who was the lead singer of a punk/alternative band called Seven Year Bitch that actually got some decent reviews and played on a few tours. But there was another porno babe (I don't remember her name though) who actually started out trying to be a singer but couldn't get any record deals before she ended up in porn. She actually had a halfway decent voice, but record executives treated her like the plague when they found out she was doing porn.

I was interested in that album. I figure it's probably easy and cheap to find used and online now.

I would agree with you on that, but she has more than one tape of her having sex with someone and since she's getting money for the first tape, she's really not that different from any other porn star IMO. Yeah, she's a media whore too, but it was a porn and she's the star of that porn; so she's a porn star in at least two flicks. I do understand you're frustation with calling her a porn star. Personally, I would rather call her a porn star than an actress, a singer, or a celebrity. smile
