LAS VEGAS – The adult industry’s biggest star has confirmed her retirement from performing in adult movies. Jenna Jameson announced that she will no longer “spread her legs again” for the industry while presenting onstage at the 25th Annual AVN Adult Movie Awards.

Jameson came to the stage at the Mandalay Bay Events Center to present the award for Crossover Star of the Year, which has been renamed in her honor. She addressed recent tabloid headlines, saying “I’m happier than I’ve ever been.”

Then came the official word straight from the icon’s lips.

“Honesty is key,” Jameson said. “I will never spread my legs in this industry again, but I love all of you.”

Scattered boos followed her announcement, no doubt in disappointment that the world’s biggest sex star is finished performing.

Right after Jameson presented the Crossover Star of the Year Award to Stormy Daniels, Daniels responded to Jameson’s pronouncement, assuring her fans she has no plans to retire.
