from www.napervillesun.suntimes.com – “Well, just because she signed a contract, does it mean she has to appear, if she changes her mind?”
Ted E.C. Bulthaup III said that was the question posed to him recently by an agent representing Jenna Jameson. The adult film actress allegedly reneged on an agreement to make personal appearances earlier this year at Bulthaup’s Hollywood Palms Cinema in Naperville and Hollywood Boulevard Cinema in Woodridge.
And the answer to that question looked a lot like “yes” on Wednesday, following a decision in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton.
Judge Patrick J. Leston entered an order of default against Jameson, which had been sought by Bulthaup and his attorneys. Neither Jameson nor any of her representatives were present for Wednesday’s hearing.
Leston said he would withhold entering a default judgment “until we show documentation and (financial) damages” incurred by the Jameson no-show, Bulthaup said. The judgment could be entered later this month.
Bulthaup in May filed a lawsuit seeking more than $50,000 in damages from Jameson, whose legal name is Jenna M. Massoli. She failed to make paid appearances March 24-26 at Bulthaup’s theaters, and instead spent part of that weekend attending a celebrity blogger’s birthday party in California, according to the litigation.
Both theaters had scheduled screenings of the 2008 camp film “Zombie Strippers!” in which Jameson starred, the suit read in part. Jameson was to autograph photographs of herself and 200 copies of her book, “How To Make Love Like A Porn Star,” and interact with her fans and pose for photos with them, according to the suit.
Bulthaup said his company sold hundreds of advance tickets to the screenings; paid Jameson, her agent and personal assistant to travel to the Naperville-Woodridge area; and “invested thousands of dollars in advertising (and) dedicated hundreds of employee hours to making the weekend’s events a success,” the suit stated. Her appearances would have generated “tens of thousands of dollars in revenue” for the cinemas and Jameson, according to the litigation.
Jameson’s agent, shortly before their scheduled arrival in Chicago, sent “a vague doctor’s note” to Bulthaup, in which Jameson maintained she had had a “medical emergency” and would be unable to attend the screenings, the suit declared.
Bulthaup subsequently learned “on the very evening (Jameson) was supposed to be at Hollywood’s theaters, she attended ‘Perez’s Blue Ball,’” a birthday party for blogger Perez Hilton, the suit alleged. Hilton’s website later featured photographs of Jameson attending his party.
Jameson on May 24 was served with a copy of the lawsuit at her home in Huntington Beach, Calif., Bulthaup said.
He added Jameson apparently has not retained a lawyer to represent her.
“Jenna doesn’t believe she needs an attorney,” Bulthaup said. “Her various ‘people’ were playing lawyer for her, the last one being her Web designer.”
