Jenna Jameson at Britney’s NYLA Restaurant Opening – 06.27.2002

Jenna Jameson, adult film star turned entrepreneur, made headlines at the opening of Britney Spears’ NYC restaurant NYLA in 2002.

In June 2002, Jenna Jameson attended the grand opening of Britney Spears’ restaurant NYLA, a fusion of New York and Louisiana, which was located in the Dylan Hotel in Manhattan. This event was particularly notable due to the juxtaposition of Jameson’s adult film industry background with Spears’ wholesome pop star image. While the opening was intended to celebrate Spears’ new venture into the restaurant business, Jameson’s presence added an unexpected layer of intrigue and media buzz. Reports from the time noted that Spears’ management was cautious about Jameson getting too close to Spears, fearing the implications of their association in the public eye. However, Jameson’s attendance highlighted her own crossover into mainstream celebrity culture, further blurring the lines between different entertainment sectors.
