Ex-porn star Jenna Jameson to star in reality show as she converts to Judaism

Jenna Jameson’s days starring in adult films are behind her, but she still has plans to appear on camera. The former porn star’s fiance, Lior Britton, an Israeli diamond merchant, recently chatted with the Hebrew publication Walla, and shared that a reality show featuring him and Jameson is in the early stages of development, according to the Times of Israel.

Britton was quick to clarify that the show will not include “adult content,” and likened it to Keeping up with the Kardashians. Apparently, Jameson’s conversion to Judaism in preparation for their wedding will be a big part of the show. Their wedding is set for next year, but neither an air date for the show nor any producers have been announced yet.

Unfortunately, the series will not feature Britton breaking the news to his mom that he’s dating one of the world’s most famous porn stars. As much as it could make for an interesting story line, the cat is already out of the bag. Britton told Walla that he shared details about Jameson’s past slowly. “At the start, I didn’t tell [my mother] who she was,” he admitted. “I let her know in bits and pieces until eventually she was able to accept it. And then it was fine.”

Although raised Catholic, Jameson decided to convert to Judaism and has become a staunch supporter of Israel. She said as much in a tweet on Oct. 14, describing “constant worry” for family in the country.

Reality TV isn’t a new area for Jameson, but this would be her biggest non-adult series to date. Not only did she guest star on The Simple Life in 2007, she appeared on the U.K.’s Big Brother this summer. As THR pointed out, while filming the latter, she kept a separate fridge from her housemates and followed a kosher diet.

Nicknamed “The Queen of Porn,” Jameson retired from the adult film industry in 2008 after a 15-year career.

Based on a True Story’s stars on the true crime show’s shocking twists
Three women pose on the red carpet of Based on a True Story.

In Peacock's Based on a True Story, Ava Bartlett (Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan Bartlett (Chris Messina) struggle to make ends meet. Ava is a real estate agent who can't sell a house, while Nathan is an ex-tennis pro giving lessons to rich people at a country club. The couple is expecting their first child, but they can't even afford the house they live in. With hope for a better life slowly dwindling, Ava says a phrase many Americans have probably recited over the last five years: What if we make a podcast?

Ava, a true crime junkie, and Nathan enter the overpopulated true crime genre with a podcast of their own, but they have an ace in the hole: They know the identity of the serial killer known as "The West Side Ripper." Instead of turning him in to the cops, Ava and Nathan make the irresponsible decision to start a podcast with the killer, named Matt, to capitalize on the true crime genre and eliminate their financial woes. You can probably guess that things don't go according to plan, considering Ava and Nathan are partnering with someone who routinely murders humans.

Ewoks, Clone Wars, and The Bad Batch: all the Star Wars animated shows, ranked
Anakin and Ahsoka in The Clone Wars.

Most people who are familiar with Star Wars likely know the universe chiefly because of the movies. If you go one layer deeper than that, you may be aware of shows like The Mandalorian, starring everyone's favorite bounty hunter. Deeper than that, though, are the animated stories that have done so much to expand the canon of Star Wars.

Of course, the history of animation and Star Wars tracks back decades, but only recently has this universe become more devoted to regularly creating new animated series. Now, as those series continue to succeed, we've decided to rank all the animated Star Wars shows that already exist.

Ahsoka Tano prepares for battle in an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars

I’m pretty nerdy about a lot of things: turntables, vinyl records, barbecue, Game of Thrones, and yes, Star Wars. To a fault, I can be hard to shut up once my string is pulled, and lately, much of my blathering has been focused around a couple of Star Wars TV series -- The Mandalorian and the upcoming Ahsoka, the latter of which I am super-excited for. But I’ve had a few conversations about these shows with friends recently that have been driving me nuts. The latest involved me gushing over a live-action cameo of the animated Star Wars: Rebels series character Zeb Orrelios in season 3, episode 5 of The Mandalorian. My friend exclaimed that he had no idea who Zeb was and that he'd never watched "that cartoon," and here we are.
But a couple of notes before I continue: First, I know that Star Wars: Rebels and its precursor, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, are “cartoons.” Second, I’m aware that I’m a grown man. The point is, I’m often amazed to learn that, for those and other reasons, many people have avoided these excellent animated Star Wars series -- and this is a mistake. Much of what happens in The Clone Wars and Rebels has direct ties to shows such as The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, and especially Ahsoka, as they introduce incredible characters and crucial backstories. Do you need to watch them to know what's going on? No. You don't even need to watch every episode to get a better understanding of the live-action shows: We have great essential episode guides for Clone Wars and Rebels to set you up. But time and again I’ve been rewarded with excitement, a better understanding of characters and plotlines, and a more satisfying cathartic payoff because of watching these "cartoons." Plus, they’re just really good.
And whether you’ve just started watching The Mandalorian or are, like me, waiting eagerly for Ahsoka in August, here are a few good reasons you should take the next few months and get caught up on some of the best cartoons you’ll ever see.
Note: There are Mandalorian spoilers ahead.
Ahsoka Tano gets her due

Making her live-action debut in season 2 of The Mandalorian, Ahsoka Tano began her journey as Anakin Skywalker's tenacious young Padawan, and her adventures throughout seven seasons of the animated Clone Wars made her one of the most exciting and loved Jedi characters in the Star Wars universe. Not only does she endure betrayal through Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader, but her arc connects her to the warrior Mandalorians when she helps Bo-Katan Kryze liberate the planet Mandalore from occupation. The series concludes when Darth Sidious issues Order 66, which triggered the betrayal and extermination of the Jedi, aligning the show with the film Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith.
