Reasons NOT to date a porn star. (As if you had a chance anyway)

Entourage
Entourage

Vince had it rough last season on Entourage.

He started dating former porn star Sasha Grey, and then had a whole hissy fit when she ended up being, you know, into porn.

Hey Vince – the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, is it?  What’s the old adage – no matter how pretty someone is, somebody still has to put up with their crap?

Web Watch is not saying that porn actors/actresses or other adult entertainment celebrities (either former or current) are not datable.  They are, most certainly.
