SynopsisDear Reader, You probably think you already know me because you've seen one of my two thousand porn movies, or maybe you caught me on VH1's The Surreal Life , or rented my movie Pornstar , or heard me rapping in someone's music video. . . . Yeah, that's me. But believe it or not, that's not the real me. The real me is just an average guy trying to make it in the world like everyone else. Well . . . sort of . . . I always wanted to be a legitimate actor (that's right, don't laugh). But when the gigs didn't come I didn't let it get me down. Instead, I'd fall into the arms of beautiful women and let them heal my bruised soul. One of them insisted on taking nude pictures of me and sending them to Playgirl . For some reason I agreed, and when it was published, I got tons of phone calls. One of them was from a casting director who wanted me in his next picture. There was only one problem: it was a porno. "What do you think?" I asked my dad. He rubbed his chin and paused for a moment. "I think you should do it," he said. "I mean, you're already halfway there, and . . . at least you'll be performing, right?" That's exactly what I thought. From there, my life only got better. I traveled all over the world, made tons of money, and got more famous every year. But more than anything, I wanted to be legit, so I started doing stand-up comedy, moved to Hollywood, and kept my acting hopes alive by mingling with every major--Wait a minute, you don't care about any of this, do you? You just want to know about the celebrity orgies, the constant sex, and how I learned to blow myself. . . . All right, fine . But keep reading. . . . I guarantee you'll get more than you bargained for. . . . --Ron Jeremy, The "top porn star of all time" ("Adult Video News") dishes the dirt on 20 years of Hollywood scandal, the inner workings of the porn industry, and a life filled with celebrities, gossip, and international fame., Ron Jeremy is the porn industry's "everyman." Blessed with a large member and average looks, he's starred in over 1700 films, directed 250 of them, and over the last 20 years has become porn's biggest ambassador into the mainstream. He has appeared in 60 mainstream films, was a consultant on Boogie Nights and 9 1/2 Weeks, has appeared in 14 music videos, was on the VH1's Surreal Life, starred in the critically acclaimed Pornstar (a movie about his life), and Being Ron Jeremy (a take-off on Being John Malkovich, co-starring Andy Dick). And that's just the tip of the iceberg... Ron Jeremy is a born storyteller (funny, considering he doesn't do a lot of talking in his films) and lucky for us, he has stories on every major Hollywood celebrity. If you want to know where all the bodies are buried, he's the guy who can not only show you the grave, but can tell you the back-story on the tombstone. Ron Jeremy will be a great and entertaining read, not just on the history of porn, but on its emergence into the mainstream, and the man everyone wanted to know while it was all happening., Dear Reader, You probably think you already know me because you've seen one of my two thousand porn movies, or maybe you caught me on VH1's The Surreal Life, or rented my movie Pornstar, or heard me rapping in someone's music video. . . .
