Should a porn star be eligible, without any change of lifestyle, to become a Catholic saint?

7. What is the nature of Sin, Father? Can a sinner ever become a Saint? Yes.
And all the sinners, saints?

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
Cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who

(. . .)

9. I think people aren't eligible for Catholic sainthood until he or she has died.
Dieing does usually change one's lifestyle.

10. Upon resurrection, the usual lifestyle could be resumed.
Alternatively, the porn star could be the object of affection of someone who practices necrophilia.

11. People who have done far worse than
staring in porn have become saints, so why not.

12. you don't have to be good to be a saint.
You just have to perform miracles.Some evil people in history were made saints.
Saint Thomas More personally enjoyed burning people at the stake; so did Saint Robert Bellarmine. King Olaf of Norway butchered thousands of pagans in northern Europe, severely oppressed his own people, and was rewarded with sainthood. Saint Ambrose was a vicious anti-semite, and insisted Christians must hate Jews. Saint Lucifer was notorious for advocating the killing of Arian Christians. The list could go on and on.

Heck, a practicing porn star would look good next to these monsters.

16. Cicciolina might qualify.
Porn star AND former member of the Italian Parliament! And I guess you could add "humanitarian," since she offered to have sex with Saddam Hussein - twice - to stop wars.

As for miracles...well, she was born in 1951 and this picture was taken in 2009:
