Adult Film Star Jenna Jameson Ordered to Pay Naperville Theater for 'No Show'

A DuPage County judge ordered adult film star Jenna Jameson to pay $92,000 for not showing up at two heavily promoted events last year at a Naperville and Woodridge theater, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Judge Patrick Leston ordered Jameson to pay breach-of-contract damages Tuesday to Ted Bulthaup, who owns Hollywood Boulevard in Woodridge and Hollywood Palms in Naperville. 

In July 2011, Leston issued a default judgment against Jameson in a breach of contract case filed earlier last year by Bulthaup.

Patch first reported in June 2011 that Bulthaup sued Jameson — whose real name is Jenna Marie Massoli — after she skipped out on two heavily promoted meet-and-greet appearances at the theaters in March that coincided with special screenings of her 2008 movie Zombie Strippers!

Jameson was served with the lawsuit on May 24, 2011 at her Huntington Beach, Calif., residence, but neither she, nor any attorney on her behalf, formally responded within 30 days.

That prompted Bulthaup's attorney to request the default ruling during the case's first hearing. Leston, who acknowledged he had heard about the lawsuit in the media, said actual financial damages owed by Jameson would be determined during a July 28 hearing.

Bulthaup's lawsuit sought more than $50,000 in damages, while noting the theaters spent "tens of thousands" on event promotion. Jameson was guaranteed at least $10,000 to appear — with travel and other expenses to be paid for by Hollywood — but she canceled due to what her representatives called a "medical emergency," and never rescheduled.

The lawsuit disagreed, pointing out that Jameson apparently ditched the appearances to instead go to Perez Hilton's "Blue Ball" birthday party. Photos of Jameson at the party popped up on celebrity websites, leaving in question the claim she was unable to work or travel for Hollywood, according to court records.
