Jenna and Tito now claim their battle of allegations was all one big misunderstanding.

And Tito, whose lawyer painted Jenna as a suicidal drug addict, is now saying that he "jumped to conclusions" over a couple of pain pills. Something fishy is going on here. So who's covering up what and why?
Does Jenna's clean drug test prove that Tito Ortiz is a liar and abuser?
Perhaps Jenna Jameson didn't just run off to party in Las Vegas after her alleged assault by Tito Ortiz, like we first thought. Turns out that Jenna went to take a drug test at well-known Nevada lab American Toxicology, Inc. Jenna's urine sample tested negative for oxycodone and 10 other major drugs.

How did porn become OK? Was it Howard Stern, Jenna Jameson, Joe Francis, Larry Flynt?
Somehow, some way, porn has made its way into the mainstream. Jenna Jameson is a household name. The appellation "porn" has been innocently added to other genres of media. Joe Francis thinks the government owes the industry a porn bailout. Steven Soderbergh is directing a porn star named Sasha Grey in a conventional film. What the Sam Hill is going on? Are Howard Stern, Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner laughing their smutty butts off somewhere?
