Stunning star of 90s album cover lived very wild life after iconic snap – would you recognise her now?
THE sexy nurse trope is hardly original but this stunning porn star's take on the theme is the thing of punk rock legend. Blink 182's 1999 hit album Enema of the State was one of the decade's most recognisable pieces of cover art. Advertisement 6 Blink 182's Enema of the State album cover has legendary status 6 Janine Lindemulder was immortalised on the cover and in the video for What's My Age Again? Credit: YouTube The American punk group, renowned for their fart gags, pop parodies and power chords, drafted in Janine Lindemulder, 55, to take centre stage on their second LP. The adult actress - whose work the band were not aware of at the time of her casting - wore a white hat adorned with a red cross, a white shirt left open to tease her red bra, and knowingly pulled her hand into a blue latex glove as her heavily made-up face smiled at the camera. On the back cover, band members Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker and Between the imagery and the album title, subtlety went out of the window. Advertisement READ MORE ON BLINK Originally, the album was due to be called Turn Around and Cough, which photographer David Goldman said inspired the now legendary images. Unsurprisingly, there was controversy around picture. The Red Cross demanded the band remove the emblem from Janine's hat as it broke the Geneva Convention. It was subsequently changed to the letter B. The album was a huge success, selling over 15 million copies worldwide and catapulting the band to the big leagues. Singles What's My Age Again?, All The Small Things and Adam's Song received heavy radio play and are synonymous with the era to this day. Advertisement Most read in Celebrity After the album's release, mum-of-two Janine's life took a very different turn, temporarily at least. She quit the porn industry the same year to become a primary school teacher. Kourtney Kardashian pays tribute to iconic Blink 182 video as she copies it for baby announcement Despite distancing herself from blue movies, she was inducted into the industry's hall of fame in 2022. And two years after that, the lure of a big money industry return proved too and she mounted a comeback, performing with men for the first time in her porn career. Advertisement Janine's comeback coincided with her divorce from West Coast Choppers star Jesse James, who would later marry A-list actress Sandra Bullock. That short-lived marriage wasn't her first celebrity romance. She famously featured in a homemade sex tape with Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil in 1998. James and Janine found themselves locked in a bitter custody battle in 2009 after she was released from prison having served six months for a $300k tax evasion. Despite knowing she owed the huge sum, she splashed out more than $600k on a new home and two cars instead of paying back the debt. Advertisement James was granted custody of their daughter Sunny, then five, while Janine was locked up. Following her release, she unsuccessfully challenged the arrangement, which saw her receive weekly visitation rights. At the time, James and Bullock argued Janine wasn't always in the right condition to look after Sunny, and they found themselves on 'high alert'. Janine argued that her drug use was a thing of the past and told Advertisement James divorced Bullock in 2010 and has since married twice more. The dad-of-four most recently tied the knot to porn actress and fifth wife Bonnie Rotten in 2022. While Janine divorced her third husband, Jeremy Aikman, in 2010 after just one year together. She became an early adopter of OnlyFans, putting out her own content in 2017. She still releases sexy online content to this day, stripping down to her underwear for a monthly subscription of $9.99. 6 Janine was inducted into the AVN hall of fame in 2022 Credit: Twitter Advertisement 6 She's been releasing sexy pics on Only Fans Credit: 6 She once dated Motley Crue singer Vince Neil Credit: Getty 6 Janine had a two year marriage to Jesse James of West Coast Choppers fame Credit: Alamy

Each bank has their own privilege programme or deals catalogue that makes claiming a deal as easy as applying a promo code or claiming a voucher on your banking app. These differ from rewards programmes that let you redeem gifts using points accumulated from your credit card spending-for example, redeeming a $5 NTUC voucher with 100 points. Here, we're talking about catalogues of deals and promotions that you have the privilege of accessing simply because you have a credit card with that bank-for example, showing your credit card at a restaurant to enjoy a 1-for-1 offer on all main courses. Here's a list of credit card promotion/privilege programmes in Singapore for UOB, DBS, and more. UOB: UOB Rewards+ UOB Rewards+ is the UOB rewards programme that all UOB Cardmembers are entitled to. It also claims to be the largest rewards catalogue in Singapore. So if you have a UOB card, make sure you download the UOB TMRW app to browse all deals. You can also view dining deals at The Dining Advisor. Standard Chartered: The Good Life The Good Life Privileges is a deals and rewards programme open to anyone with a Standard Chartered credit or debit card (or both). Citibank: Citi World Privileges Citi World Privileges is full of deals for not just the rest of the world while you're on holiday, but when you're back home in Singapore too. DBS privileges and offers DBS may not have a fancy schmancy name for their credit card offers programme, but they've still got a ton of good deals you should check out. American Express: Love Dining and Chillax Amex Platinum cards aren't the most accessible, but give you access to tons of dining deals and privileges. Check out their Love Dining deals for offers at restaurants and hotels, and their Chillax programme 1-for-1 drink offers and welcome cocktails at bars around the island. HSBC credit card promotions and deals Like DBS, HSBC doesn't have a dedicated name for their HSBC credit card promotions programme. An HSBC credit card also gives you access to standard offers on The Entertainer with HSBC, although only selected cards give you premium offers. OCBC credit card promotions Another nameless programme, OCBC's credit card promotions and deals span across food, fashion, health and many other categories. Maybank credit card promotions The Maybank credit card promotions are all listed online, but don't forget to change the filter to see the promotions you want. Categories include: dining, beauty, travel, wellness, shopping, and more. There doesn't seem to be a way to see all categories at once. CIMB credit card promotions Check out CIMB's credit card deals across categories like dining, travel and lifestyle, e-commerce, and beauty and wellness. You can also select "near me" to see deals based on your location. [[nid:718806]] This article was first published in MoneySmart .
