Jenna Jameson pulled her own braces off with pliers at 17 to get into a strip club. Built a $30 million adult entertainment empire. Had twins with UFC fighter Tito Ortiz - lost custody after their breakup. Struggled with methamphetamine addiction. Multiple scandalous divorces. Eventually converted to Christianity. And then there's the Howard Stern interview where he sniffed her underwear live on air and threw them at the ceiling. In the video below that moment plays out in full - and it's exactly as unhinged as it sounds. Howard announces they're wet. Passes them around the studio. Sniffs them on air. Throws them at the ceiling to see if they stick. Hangs them over a light to dry. She buries her face in embarrassment. The biggest name in adult entertainment - naked in front of millions - completely flustered by a pair of underwear on a radio show. Howard said he'd seen her naked a million times but in the dress she was 50 times sexier. Said he wanted to marry her. She called him her future husband. Then he rubbed her leg while she sat in his lap. She said he made her nervous. Said very few people did that to her. He asked why she never made a move on him in his trailer during Private Parts. She said she didn't know what would have happened if she had. Charlie Sheen was sending people to get her number. Matt LeBlanc chased her down on Laurel Canyon. She turned them both down. The most famous woman in the industry - and Howard Stern was the one who made her blush. Was Jenna Jameson the most comfortable person in any room she walked into, or did she just finally meet someone who operated on the same frequency?

Vanessa Del Rio stole cars at 18, worked the streets of New York as a prostitute, shot her first adult film in 1974 for $150 to cover rent. Over 100 films across 12 years. Drug problems. Multiple arrests. First woman of color to break major barriers in the industry. Quit when AIDS hit and producers still didn't care about the safety of the women in front of the camera. In the video below, Vanessa looks back at a career that started with a teenage decision made lying in bed - and explains why she has zero regrets. She said she used to watch a Mexican actress named Isabelle Sarli. Pure raw sexuality on screen. Said she wanted to be exactly like that. Made the decision at 14 or 15. Never looked back. She brought her own clothes to shoots because they were just her actual everyday wardrobe. Showed up exactly as she was in real life. Said that was always the difference - she wasn't performing a character, she was just herself. She's now releasing a book. Signed copies. Nasty pictures. Polaroids. Bodybuilding photos. A lenticular cover of her licking her lips that moves as you tilt it. Said the outside is classy - white and leopard print - and the inside is filthy. She said labels don't define her. Said she'd like the word capitalized in the dictionary the way Madonna is. Said she was a bad girl. A very bad girl. But she had fun doing it. And she can't regret something she genuinely enjoyed. Is Vanessa Del Rio the most honest person to ever come out of that industry, or just the rare one who actually meant it?

Paul Bernardo and his wife Karla Homolka kidnapped, r*ped and murdered teenage girls while filming everything on tape. Karla drugged her own 15-year-old sister for him to assault - the girl died that night. They married the same day investigators found the remains of their 14-year-old victim. Karla got 12 years. The tapes later proved she was an equal partner in every crime. She walked free in 2005. Bernardo is serving life with no parole. In the video below, detectives travel to Kingston Penitentiary in 2007 to interview Bernardo as a potential witness in another murder case - and what unfolds is one of the most calculated prison interviews ever recorded. He doesn't rage. He doesn't break down. He sits across from two detectives and methodically dismantles their credibility before they can touch his. He opens by complaining that police publicly called him a liar after he voluntarily confessed to additional crimes. Says it goes to his credibility. Says either he's a liar or he isn't. Says if they want the truth they should go polygraph Karla. He says this three times. The detectives ask if he killed Elizabeth Bain - a missing woman whose boyfriend was wrongly convicted of her murder. He says no. Then spends twenty minutes explaining why nothing they have proves anything, why Karla's version of events is a lie, and why the Attorney General's office is playing games. A man serving life for rape and murder, sitting in a boardroom, calmly arguing that he's the one being treated unfairly. Was Paul Bernardo genuinely wronged by the justice system that let Karla walk free, or is this exactly what a psychopath looks like when he's had 15 years to rehearse?
