Jenna Jameson has long been a porn queen and media darling.  Over the years there has however been much speculation about the changes in her appearance but is it all just hype or is there really something to this talk?  Well they say a picture is worth a 1000 words so let us take a moment to examine the evidence.  Here we have a picture of Jenna Jameson taken in January of 2007.  This was just about the time she said she was no longer going to be a porn star.

Jenna Jameson had photos taken from famed photographer Stephen J. Hicks around 1998, possibly 1999.  Here is one of those photos, you can click here to view the entire set.  The difference between the two Jenna’s is simply amazing.  At just a glance you could tell she has changed some but it wasn’t until I sen the two images together did I realize just how drastic the changes in her looks have been over the years.  But don’t take my word for it, examine the photos for yourself.
