Melanie Jagger who’s repped by Mark Spiegler was a guest of the Sports Swami Friday. jagger said things were kind of slow for her in the month of December. “Everybody usually takes a break; everything slows down, and everybody goes on vacation before the Vegas show in January. Just kind of kicking back.”
Jagger said she intends to be at both the Internext and AEE. Asked how big the events would be for her, Jagger said she was signing for Smash Pictures. “I’ll be in the booth most of the time. It’s going to be a long week. But I’m excited to see all the people.” Jagger said Smash offered the best deal for her as for as signings go.
“And I wanted to have time to be able to walk around and meet people and go see things myself.” Jagger said last year she signed for Anabolic and had no opportunity whatsoever to get around or have free time. “I was in the booth the whole time. This time I want to be able to walk around a little bit, also sign and not be stuck in a booth the whole time. They agreed to give me my time.”
Swami described it as a bidding war for Jagger’s services to sign at a booth, and she laughed at the thought. “No, you just go with whoever you feel you should sign for,” she explained. Asked why she signed with Spiegler, Jagger said she was in Vegas, dancing. “I had never met anyone in porn before. I was answering ads in the newspaper to do solo Internet shoots for a guy named Mark Ewell. He used to direct movies for Spiegler back in the day. He was telling me about the girls, how they can make 30 to 40 grand a month. he gave me his number.” Jagger said Spiegler was subsequently the first person she met in porn. “He’s just the best; I stuck with him.”
Jagger said she sees girls come and go with other agents. “Once you have Spiegler you never want to leave. He’ the shit. He makes us money and he doesn’t screw us over in either way. He doesn’t play games and he does what’s best for us. Jagger said she was scheduled to do a movie this month which didn’t happen because things got crazy. “I’m going to do a triple-anal movie for Skeeter,” she says. “I’m looking forward to that.” Jagger suspects that it will be coming up after the show in January.
“Things are good this year,” she adds. “I’m kind of working with Mark, running the girls around, taking this year off. Because I worked a lot last year. I’m just kind of taking it easy, picking and choosing when I want to work. Hopefully next year there’s going to be some bigger things coming up.”
The fact that she grew up in Vegas, Swami asked Jagger what it was really like. “Just like anywhere else,” she responded. “Everyone always asks me how can you live there? What is there to do? Do you have shopping lists and school buses? It’s a normal life like anywhere else.” Jagger said she live in Henderson, on the outskirts of the strip. ” I could go to the strip and be there in five minutes. Or I could be in the suburbs and have a normal life. I can have best of both worlds.”
Swami asked about the “goombahs”- the mob that reputedly still runs Vegas. “They do their thing, I’m sure,” Jagger replied. “I don’t know. I love it there. I don’t like it here California that much. I like the people in Nevada a lot better.” Asked how she went from being daddy’s little girl to a porn star, Jagger said she used to be the most conservative person. “Then I was living in Utah for 8 months and started being a cocktail waitress at a strip club,” she went on to say. “Then they threw me into bartending and I kind of got used to seeing the girls all the time and how much money they make. One day I just did it. I don’t know how they broke me out of my shell. I just went from cocktail waitress to porn star.”
Asked how her family reacts to all this, Jagger said her mother thinks it’s funny. “She said as long as I’m safe and I’m enjoying myself then go for it. You don’t have your looks and stay young forever. She’s like enjoy it now.” Jagger said she doesn’t discuss matters with her father because he and her mother have split up. “I haven’t seen him in a couple of years. He knows but we just kind of ignore the subject.” Off camera, Jagger said she tends to be a private person. “Real mellow homebody- I like to do the normal stuff. I’m not really a clubber. I don’t like to go in crowds. I’m real close to my family. I’m not too much of a partier.” Jagger said she enjoys what she does, no doubt, but would prefer to take her money, put it in the bank and leave it there. “I don’t need to blow my money on dope or drinking or anything stupid. I get to have my wild time when I go to work.”
Swami pulled another of his stupid cupid rumors linking Jagger romantically to Lance Bass of Nsync. Jagger laughed her ass off. “No way! Are you kidding?” she said. “It’s not true at all!” Jagger aid she’s been with someone for three years, however. According to Jagger, her boyfriend wasn’t okay with her being in the industry at first. “Now he works right along side with Spiegler. It took him awhile but now he sees. He gets to see the other girls on the set and it has nothing to do with feelings. It’s just another job. It’s just fun. It doesn’t mean I’m doing it because, my God, some guy is hot. I come home and I love him. He’s my heart and soul.”
Jagger thinks of her job as art. “I like to see how far I can take myself.” Jagger couldn’t explain why the relationship has lasted that long. “We’re really different. But he’s not a drug addict. He doesn’t drink. He’s the total opposite from what I’ve had before. It just works for me.” Asked what company she’d like to be a contract girl for, Jagger said Legend. “Definitely Legend. I love Jerome Tanner. I simply adore him. I’ve done a lot of movies for Legend and I like how they are. I like everything about Legend.”
