From Iconic Cover Girl to Rebirth: The Unseen Transformation of Blink-182’s Model

In 1999 punk-rock band Blink 182 enlisted Janine Lindemulder to be the cover star of their hit album Enema of the State

SCANDALOUS! Get ready for a juicy blast from the past as we revisit the sultry, scandalous, and downright shocking story of Janine Lindemulder, the 56-year-old adult film star who sizzled her way into our hearts (and bedrooms) with her iconic cover art on Blink-182's hit album Enema of the State back in 1999.

Fast-forward to today, and you'd be forgiven for not recognizing this platinum blonde bombshell as the same woman who posed provocatively in a sexy nurse outfit, complete with a white coat flashing a red bra that showcased her stunning bosom. The image, which has become an iconic symbol of '90s pop culture, features Lindemulder pulling off a blue latex glove over one hand while staring seductively at the camera.

But behind the glamorous facade, Lindemulder's life was anything but picture-perfect. Just three years after posing for Blink-182, she found herself in the midst of a very public divorce from West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James, with whom she had welcomed daughter Sunny in 2002. The marriage, which lasted a mere two years, was marked by controversy and drama, including Lindemulder's struggles with addiction and tax evasion.

In 2004, Lindemulder was sentenced to six months behind bars for failing to pay $300,000 in taxes, a conviction that would have far-reaching consequences for her personal life. Upon her release from prison, she embarked on a fierce custody battle with James over their daughter Sunny, which played out in the tabloids and left fans wondering if this sex symbol was more sinner than saint.

But Lindemulder was far from done making headlines. In 2009, she married Jeremy, her third husband, only to divorce him just a year later. Meanwhile, James had moved on to marry none other than Hollywood A-lister Sandra Bullock in 2005 – a union that would ultimately end in heartbreak when James was caught cheating.

Today, Lindemulder's life is a far cry from the glamour and excitement of her heyday. Now covered in tattoos and sporting brunette locks, she has reinvented herself as an adult film star for the digital age, amassing a following of 89,000 on X and promoting her OnlyFans account to fans eager to get up close and personal with this sex symbol.

Today, some 26 years later, the 56-year-old adult film star looks nearly unrecognizable

But don't let her new persona fool you – Lindemulder's past is still filled with drama and intrigue. As she reminds followers on her profile description: 'Penthouse Pet '87, Vivid girl, AVN Hall of fame, Blink-182 cover model, multiple award winner including Best G/G and B/G.' For fans of this adult film star, it's a tantalizing glimpse into the wild and woolly world that lies just beneath the surface.

So what's next for Janine Lindemulder? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain – with her provocative past and penchant for drama, this sex symbol is guaranteed to keep us all hooked until the very end.
