From Times staff reports
Tito Ortiz, an “ultimate fighting” star, will not be the guest of honor at the Marine Corps birthday ball sponsored by the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station because of objections by top officers to his intended date, pornography star Jenna Jameson.
The Marine command decided Jameson was “not an individual or guest that we really felt was appropriate” for the ball, which celebrates the founding of the corps, a spokesman said. Told of the objection, Ortiz bowed out of the Nov. 13 event. A new guest of honor is sought.
