Maybe we watch too much porn in our downtime to expand our professional achievements, but apparently Ron Jeremy doesn't. The adult film actor/reality show star/pianist/college lecturer/comedian has taken on a new slash: writer. His memoir, Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz, chronicles the lengthy star's career, err, we mean the star's lengthy career, in which he's so far starred in more than 1,750 adult films and directed more than 135.
So if you need something to heat you up while you're out in the cold tonight, Mr. Jeremy will be reading from and signing his book at the Michigan Ave Borders. We 're told he will be fully clothed, which at 54 we're thankful for, but we are looking forward to what Publisher's Weekly says is just like Jeremy, "self-effacing, affably vulgar, eager-to-please and constantly on the run."
Tonight. 7 p.m. Borders. 830 N. Michigan Ave. Free

1750 movies? holy shit
the crowd at this thing will be a bad mix of drunken frat boys and total sleazebags
with a sprinkling of unsuspecting tourists just making the Water Tower rounds.
he was on the WGN morning show this morning playing classical piano -- chopin. it was amazing. if i didn't have something else to do tonight, i'd be there. turns out he's done a lot of interesting stuff besides porn from the quick interview he did with larry and ... crap, the old traffic lady. man, i miss rosanne tellez.
and ana beleval? she didn't look all that this morning.
He's 54 years old. If we assume he started making movies when he's 20, that comes out to starring in a movie a week for the past 34 years. Perhaps he really is the hardest working man in show business.
@ smussy: I saw him on WGN as well, but I missed the piano part. And the old traffic lady/current anchor you're thinking of is Robin Baumgarten, I think.
Met him the last time he was in town, doing a porn debate at Lakeshore Theatre. He lured my girlfriends and I to a bar in the rush street area and showed his "pride and joy" to us in the back alley behind Bootleggers or one of those equally trashy joints.
Of all the sleazebags that show up at his book signing, none of them could be sleazier than him. He takes the cake.
Hey Libby...forgive me if I think your story is total bullshit.
