She recently told E! News she's wants a career like Sasha Gray, an adult film star who's recently been finding a load of mainstream success.
On that note, we give you five porn stars who could also prove to be inspirations for the 18-year-old celebrity spawn. Hey, ya never know, but she could end up working alongside the likes of Johnny Depp, Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh and hitmaker Kid Rock, among others…
Sasha Gray: The star of such adult fare as Sasha Grey's Anatomy, House of Sex & Domination and Teenage Whores, Gray began her career just four years ago at age 18. Not only is she a regular on the current season of Entourage, but two years ago, she starred in Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh's indie flick, The Girlfriend Experience. She also reportedly studied theater acting from age 12 to 18.
Riley Steele: After making her porn debut two years ago in Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, she'll soon be seen starring in the Weinstein Company's upcoming summer thriller Piranha 3D opposite Elisabeth Shue and Jerry O'Connell. And, as we were the first to tell you, one scene shows her making out with Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr.
Jenna Jameson: Known as the "Queen of Porn," Jameson has gone from appearing in XXX-ers like Up and Cummers 10 and 11 to becoming a brand herself with various non-porny products sold at high-end retailers like Colette and Saks Fifth Avenue. She's voiced an animated version of herself in Family Guy and has appeared in various video games, including Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. Not only has she debated at Oxford, but her 2004 memoir, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale spent six weeks on The New York Times Best Seller List.
Traci Lords: Arguably the porn star to have the most mainstream success, Lords has also lashed out against her adult film career, insisting she was coerced into it from a very early age. She reportedly appeared in 100 films before she was even 18 years old. Even so, her post-porn career includes appearances in Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace, Melrose Place, the Francis Ford Coppola produced sci-fi series First Wave and most famously playing Wanda Woodward opposite Johnny Depp in director John Waters' Cry-Baby.
Ron Jeremy: Known for his unusually large manhood, Jeremy is one of the few male porn stars who have had some mainstream success. While he's listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as "Most Appearances in Adult Films" for the 2,000 films he's performed, he worked as a consultant on 91/2 Weeks and Boogie Knights. He's appeared on television shows like Family Guy and Nash Bridges and went on a date with Kathy Griffin during the third season of My Life on the D-List. He was seen on the big screen in Ghostbusters, The Rules of Attraction and plenty of low-budget indies like One-Eyed Monster, about a killer alien that takes over his signature body part. He's also popped up in music videos by Kid Rock, Guns N' Roses, Everclear, Moby and Sublime. Like, Jameson, Jeremy spoke at Oxford in 2005. (eonline.com)
