What Makes a Pornstar in 2007?

Some options:
- As an award winner like "Best New Starlet"
- Featured DVD titles like the "Xxxxxxx - Filthy Whore" series
- Recognition outside of the porn industry

I'd say this one was an indication that you are NOT a porn star, because most people 'outside' do not like to admit that they watch porn, so if you are famous outside the industry it infers that you are more famous for your 'day job'.

Obviously that does not include pornstars who become famous for being involved in a scandal (President of the USA caught in 'three in a bed' sex romp with pornstar and rottweiler puppy).

I take that to mean "recognized by people not associated with porn". Lke when Jenna Jamison was featured on a prime time TV show. It was something like 60 Minutes, Dateline or one of those types of shows. She was "recognized" by a non-porn news program.
