Cleveland- [cleveland.com]- OK, so the Egyptians are ticked off that there’s a contest going on to name a new seven wonders of the world. They find it appalling that the ancient pyramids have to compete with upstart “wonders” such as the Statue of Liberty.
What I don’t understand is why Americans aren’t in shock that Ron Jeremy isn’t on the list.
Just look at the guy. I’m not trying to be mean, but, uh, just look at the guy.
How does he do it — you know, have sex with more than 4,000 women?
I mean, really. Just look at the guy. It really makes you wonder.
Well, wonder no more.
The porn star has just released his tell-all autobiography, “Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz.” He’s also bringing his life story to that that red-light district of Legacy Village.
Yep, at 7 p.m. Thursday [February 8], Jeremy will pop up at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, 24519 Cedar Road, Lyndhurst. He’ll talk about his exploits in cinema verite, er, I mean, porn.
In “The Hardest (Working) Man In Showbiz,” Jeremy chronicles how he did it his way, sometimes with 14 women, before noon.
But even porn stars start small — well, not too small, as Jeremy explains.
He relays how his mother knew on the day he was born that he was destined for greatness when she overheard two nurses bathing him in the delivery room and “getting a first glance at my unusual physical gifts.”
“It’s pretty big,” one nurse said. “And on a baby, no less.”
“Well, he’s a very lucky boy,” the other concluded.
Early on, Jeremy was also endowed with a sense of humor and a love of acting. He was a teenage class clown and thespian. By the time he hit college, he was subsidizing his tuition by getting it on with “Borscht Bunnies” — married Jewish women looking for young boys for a one-night fling.
That’s when Jeremy discovered that he possessed what would become his second calling card: stamina.
Of course, it was his first attribute that got him recognized, when a girl convinced him to submit a naked shot of himself to Playgirl magazine in 1978 for a “Boy Next Door” spread.
Within days of the publication, his “talents” landed him in porn flicks. Among those talents: the ability to perform on cue, according to script — no matter if the scene was two minutes or 45 minutes long.
The rest is pornographic history, which Jeremy will discuss when he hits Joseph-Beth. Oh, yeah, he’ll also talk about forays into stand-up comedy and legit flicks.
I’m not sure he’ll be able to explain what truly makes him a wonder of the world, though.
FOUR THOUSAND WOMEN? I mean, c’mon, just look at the guy.
