Is there a Britney Spears sex tape coming? Plus Adnan is back with his wife


I know we’ve heard this one before, on multiple occasions and involving at least three different guys. (Not at the same time, just to clarify.) But this week’s National Enquirer, my favorite trashy gossip rag, says that paparazzo Adnan Ghalib indeed has a sex tape he made with Britney, and is just waiting for the most lucrative moment to release it. And they have enough specific details about the date the tape was made, where it was shot, and what it contains that this comes off as plausible:

The source, who talked exclusively to the Enquirer, claims that the videtape was made in a $235-a-night junior suite at the Rosarito Beach Hotel. [during their Mexican vacation in January]

“Word is that the video starts with Britney undressing,” said an insider. “She was wearing some cheap clothes that she bought down there in Rosarito.”

The sex wasn’t “particularly kinky,” says the insider, but Britney allegedly wears a pink wig throughout the video.

“Adnan tells her to take it off at one point, and she says coyly, ‘Take what off? There’s nothing left to take off.’”

According to the insider, Adnan, 35 had no intention of keeping the tape locked away, and someone is willing to pay millions for it.

The insider adds they may be waiting for the perfect time before releasing the tape.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, May 26, 2008]

For Britney’s sake I hope this isn’t true, because if it does exist you known Adnan is trying to get paid for it. They say that the best moment to release the tape may be when Britney is back on top again, if that happens, and when her long-anticipated comeback is in full force.

According to Mike Walker’s column in the same edition of the National Enquirer, Adnan has gone crawling back to his wife after two all-too-public affairs, one with Britney and another with a 20 year-old model who had a boyfriend at the time.

Britney is now on vacation in Costa Rica with her neighbor Mel Gibson and her dad, Jamie. She is also rumored to be pregnant for the third time.

Britney and Adnan are shown on 1/30/08 and 1/28/08, thanks to WENN.

Jimi Hendrix sex tape to be released by Vivid Video (sfw but adult subject)


Vivid video is set to release a sex tape supposedly starring late guitar great Jimi Hendrix having sex with two brunettes. The film will be 45 minutes long, but it’s only 11 minutes of sex without audio and the rest is about Hendrix’s career.

The NY Times notes that the film has been out for years and that no one is quite sure it’s actually Hendrix in it, because you only see the guy’s face for a few seconds and his eyes are closed. Vivid claims that it’s really him, though, and say they did research and hired private detectives to verify Hendrix’s identity. No one knows who the two women are in the film.

The film was found among some other rock memorabilia bought at auction in London and was simply labeled “Black Man.” Women who slept with and knew Hendrix don’t all agree that it’s actually him, and fans say that the man in the film wears unfamiliar jewelry:

The DVD includes commentary from two women who met Hendrix and say they believe the tape is real: Pamela Des Barres, the author of “I’m With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie” (1987), and Cynthia Albritton, better known as Cynthia Plaster Caster. Ms. Albritton is known for doing plaster casts of the genitals of rock stars, including Hendrix in 1968. (Mr. Hirsch said both women were paid for their contributions to the video but declined to be more specific.)

“I’m 100 percent sure it’s him,” Ms. Albritton, 61, said in an interview from her home in Chicago. “The facial bone structure is the same. The eyebrows and the mustache are true to the style he was wearing in 1970.”

But Kathy Etchingham, 60, one of Hendrix’s steady girlfriends during the ’60s, said via e-mail after viewing still photos from the film at the request of a reporter: “It is not him. His face is too broad and nose and nostrils too wide for Jimi. Also the hair is too low on the forehead.”

“He would never have allowed anyone to see that,” she said in a telephone interview. “In private he was very shy and would cover up.”

The film has also been dismissed by Hendrix collectors and historians. One expert said that the rings the man in the film is wearing do not resemble any he had seen in years of studying pictures and film of Hendrix. Charles R. Cross, author of the Hendrix biography “Room Full of Mirrors” (Hyperion, 2005), encountered the film during his book research. “It doesn’t add up to Jimi,” he said.

As a fan, he said, he felt the film was “horrible to watch,” as he thinks the man appears to be on drugs or heavily intoxicated. “I don’t want that to be what I think about when I think about Jimi Hendrix,” he said.

[From The NY Times via The Huffington Post]

The “Marilyn Monroe Sex Tape” story came out earlier this month, but was thought to have been a hoax. The story was that a collector bought a silent BJ tape supposedly featuring Marilyn for $1.5 million, but Defamer says that the person who broke the story, memorabilia collector Keya Morgan, is less than believable and his story doesn’t add up. Even if it is true, the tape will never see the light of day.

In this case you can’t really tell whether it’s Hendrix in the video and there’s a lot of controversy over whether it’s him or not. Even if it is, it doesn’t sound like it’s much to watch, and I know I would feel kind of weird seeing it. Maybe it will be a decent seller for Vivid since people are still interested in him and he was renowned for being well endowed.

You can see what Hendrix’s uh, manhood looked like if you’re so inclined. A woman nicknamed “Cynthia Plaster Caster” started making plaster casts of famous musician’s erect penises in 1968. The cast she made of Hendrix’s in February, 1968 was one of her first and she calls it the “Godfather of Whopper Choppers.”

Jimi Hendrix passed in September, 1970 at the age of 27. He choked on his own vomit which contained a lot of red wine, but it is unclear what other drugs he was taking or what preceded his death.

Marilyn Monroe sex tape sells for $1.5 million

marilyntop.jpg
A silent black and white tape of Marilyn Monroe engaging in oral sex with an unknown man has sold for $1.5 million to a NY businessman, according to a report in the NY Post. It’s said to be 15 minutes long and is obviously of Marilyn. She never looks at the camera but the man’s head is not visible, which may suggest that he planted the camera and she didn’t know it was there.

The movie was shot on 15mm film sometime in the 1950s and it first attracted the interest of the FBI in the mid 60s. The FBI under J. Edgar Hoover spent “two weeks futilely trying to prove that Monroe’s sex partner was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, according to declassified agency documents and interviews.”

A NY memorabilia dealer, Keya Morgan, bought the only known copy of the film from the son of the informant who gave it to the FBI over 40 years ago. Morgan is now $1.5 million richer after selling it. Supposedly the guy who bought it doesn’t have any plans to sell or release it to the public:

The feds eventually confiscated the original footage - but not before the informant made a copy of it, which is what was just sold by his son, Morgan said.

There are heavily redacted, declassified FBI documents talking about a “French-type” film.

They state the informant “exhibited [to agents] a motion picture which depicted deceased actress Marilyn Monroe committing a perverted act upon a unknown male,” Morgan said.

The informant was with at least one mobster at the time, the documents state.

According to the documents, “Former baseball star Joseph DiMaggio in the past had offered [the informant] $25,000 for this film, it being the only one in existence, but he refused the offer.

“Source advised that [redacted name of the mole] informed them that he had obtained this film prior to the time Marilyn Monroe had achieved stardom.”

Morgan said he got the deceased informant’s name from the former FBI agent who tipped him off to the flick - and was floored after he found the mole’s son in Washington, DC, and the man retrieved a film canister from a safe-deposit box and spooled it up.

“You see instantly that it’s Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole,” Morgan said.

“She’s smiling, she’s very charming, she’s very radiant, but she’s known for being radiant,” he said. “She moves away, and then it [the footage] stops.”

Last month, he brokered its sale, leading the informant’s son to a wealthy New York businessman who wants to keep this unseemly part of Monroe’s past buried.

“He said he’s just going to lock it up,” Morgan said.

“He said, ‘I’m not going to make a Paris Hilton out of her. I’m not going to sell it, out of respect.’ “

[From The NY Post]

This brings up all sorts of questions about who the man was in the film and who actually bought it - like whether it’s just some super rich guy who wanted it for his collection or if he has some connection to Marilyn or the man she was filmed with. Either way, we’ll probably never see it and that’s a good thing. She had enough image problems without a sex tape coming out 45 years after her death.

Marilyn is shown below with her second husband of just 10 months in 1954, Joe DiMaggio. Given the fact that DiMaggio offered so much money for the tape and that he was married to her around the time it was shot, it was possibly him in the film.

A Dita Von Teese lesbian professional sex tape? (update)

ditahouse.jpg

The Sun claims that burlesque queen Dita Von Teese starred in a lesbian porn movie and that clips are now available online. The scenes with Dita are said to involve “a bizarre sex toy” and some spanking.

This is the first I’ve heard of this. A search on Xtube, the youtube of porn, didn’t turn up anything and this could just be one of those rumors meant to advertise some porn service. The quickest way to get people to subscribe to your site is to claim to have a celebrity sex tape.

Since it’s Dita Von Teese and she’s a glorified stripper, not that there’s anything wrong with that, this is entirely possible.

The stage queen — famed for making the burlesque show mainstream — starred in a kinky lesbian movie.

Explicit clips of the 35-year-old being spanked and pleasured with a bizarre sex toy by women have emerged online.

It is a blow to Wonderbra who only launched her as the new face of their famous push-up bra last month.

They hoped Dita — real name Heather Sweet — would enhance the company’s clean-cut image by designing her own limited edition collection.

But the sleazy flick — shot before she rose to fame — will shock lingerie bosses.

In one scene the former wife of goth rocker MARILYN MANSON romps with a leggy beauty with a sex toy. In another she cavorts with two stunners in corsets.

[From The Sun]

The Sun is not the most reliable source and they don’t give a website name or any more information about the supposed tape, so it could be a lookalike or a hoax. We’ll keep our eyes peeled, and if this tape does exist someone is bound to find it today.

Dita gave an interview to the NY Times recently in which she comes off as full of herself and as materialistic as her persona. She said that she had her engagement diamond from her ex, Marilyn Manson, transformed into a new ring and that “I feel like I suffered greatly for that diamond, and it needed to be reborn into something better.” As for her divorce, she said “I am happy to have the drugs out of my life.” She talked about the taxidermied animals she has in her house, including a peacock, swans and birds. Dita also said she always keeps a truffle sauce she orders online in her fridge to eat with eggs and that “It [the truffle sauce] is very precious to me.”

Thanks to I’m Not Obsessed for linking the interview. Photos from The NY Times. She does have a fabulous house.

Update: Commentor Milo notes that this “lesbian porn video” is most likely artsy porn director Andrew Blake’s “Pinups 2,” which Dita sells on her own website. (link NSFW) Leave it to The Sun to make it out to be something new and scandalous.

Kristin Davis sex tape could be her (photos censored, but links NSFW)


Late yesterday a still from a supposed Kristin Davis sex tape was released. The 42 year-old actress plays sweet Charlotte in Sex and The City and has appeared in family-friendly films like The Shaggy Dog and Deck The Halls. The photo really looked like her from that particular angle, but then another still was released and it doesn’t look quite like her to me. Davis’ nose is thinner than the woman’s shown, the woman looks younger and doesn’t have any lines around her eyes, and it seems like a lookalike.

The “Kristin Davis sex tape” story originated on a porn-centric blog, ScottFayner.com, (link NSFW or under-18) and the author urged visitors to subscribe to porn star Taylor Rain’s website in order to view more screencaps. One commentor said that when he subscribed to that website he couldn’t find the photos of the supposed sex tape, but Fayner assures us in another post that they’re there, if only we pay to join that website that is advertised and mentioned throughout his site. No one else vouches for the existence of the photos.

Fayner says that he hasn’t seen the sex tape but that he does have these caps we can see, again only if we subscribe to that site.

It’s got to be mortifying to see someone that looks like you from certain angles sucking off some guy. It just doesn’t look like her to me, and if it was they would have the actual tape somewhere. Look for a denial from Davis’ people today. She should work with Funny or Die to make a spoof tape like Eva Longoria. A sex tape rumor is a decent way for an actress to get some publicity if she works it to her advantage and makes it a joke. It’s also a clever way for a porn star to get people to subscribe to her website.

Here are the censored photos. No penis is shown anywhere, it is fully cut out of these pictures, but you can tell what’s going on. The first one is the first still that was released and it does look a lot like her. The second one, not so much.

Update: Davis’ rep tells Page Six “This is not a photo of Kristin Davis. There is no sex tape.”

Update 2: The photos have been obscured more after what I thought was her tongue turned out to be something else. And most of you are saying that it looks just like her down to her facial features. I think I was too quick to judge based on the questionable origin of the photos.

Update 3: All photos have been removed due to a cease and desist received. We are sorry for any distress they may have caused.

Gene Simmons sex tape looks like an energy drink promotion

simmonssextape1.jpg
After hearing of this Gene Simmons sex tape and seeing some screencaps, I think I know what that “eye bleach” expression means. Gene Simmons is the 58 year-old lead singer for the glam rock band Kiss and is known for his very long tongue. He’s tried to make a name for himself with reality television appearances including Celebrity Apprentice, Rock School, and A&E’s Osbourne’s rip-off, Gene Simmons Family Jewels. This guy even had a face lift that was taped for his Family Jewels show.

Now he has a sex tape out, and it’s being promoted as co-starring a spokesmodel for an energy drink he endorses, Frank’s. You can pay $9.95 to watch it online through a website, GenesSecret.com, (link NSFW) or you can view it all month and get access to other adult movies by paying $29.95. The energy drink is name-dropped so much, and is featured in the graphics for the site, that you have to think that they’re in on it somehow.

Simmons has a live-in girlfriend, Shannon Tweed, who is featured on his reality show. They have two children together, Nicholas, 19, and Sophie, 16. Given that he’s involved with someone else, this sex tape might be something that was taken without his knowledge and leaked, but I’m doubtful. The site hypes him as a “rock god” and the energy drink is credited for giving him stamina. It just seems staged for publicity, or maybe someone set him up.

AVN notes that the domain is operated out of Panama and that there is no way to know who controls the site. They contacted the spokesperson for the other adult material featured via subscription, and they said that they were just providing additional content and had no affiliation with GenesSecret.com.

Joey Buttafuoco Sex Tape

joeybuttafuoco.jpg
In case the first round of publicity for Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafuoco wasn’t disturbing enough (Amy shot his wife Mary Jo in the face when she was 16 and dating the 36-year-old Joey), it seems they’re both releasing sex tapes. Amy’s was released by her then estranged husband, after her brief reconciliation with Joey last year. Joey now has one on the market, featuring him having sex with his wife Evanka.

We’ve already covered details of Amy’s, and now there’s Joey’s even more disturbing tape to come. Amy, who has now reunited with her husband, has decided that there’s no fighting the Internet and she’ll profit from the tape as best she can rather than trying to censor it. Joey, on the other hand, didn’t even know he was being filmed.

David Joseph, Red Light District’s chief executive officer, said Buttafuoco and his wife Evanka were caught on tape having sex while attending a party at (adult entertainment director Bob) Spalone’s home.

He said the couple were unaware Spalone had placed three hidden cameras in the hope of catching something interesting at the party.

“Spalone didn’t know that he had captured Joey and Evanka until a couple of weeks later when he completed reviewing the footage from the party,” Joseph said in a statement.

EarthTimes

Perhaps the moral of this story is “Don’t have sex in other people’s bedrooms!’

Joey won’t be profiting from the tape as far as I can tell, since it’s made by Spalone, and sold to Red Light District films by him. This is the same company that distributed the Paris Hilton, Chyna and Amy Fisher tapes. The latest celebrity sex tape is to be titled “Joey Buttafuoco: Caught On Tape”.

Joey has been working pretty hard on having a media profile lately. He’s appeared on Celebrity Boxing, he did the coin toss at the Lingerie Bowl with Amy Fisher (their first public reconciliation, before being seen dating in Central Park), and regularly appears on the Howard Stern Show. Amy Fisher has also been fairly publicity hungry, doing at least one promotional appearance for her sex tape, writing a book about her experiences and appearing on Oprah and other television shows with Mary Jo Buttafuoco. There was briefly talk of a reality show to be based on their 2006 relationship, but it never materialized and they both reconciled with their spouses.

Isn’t it safe to have sex anywhere anymore, without being filmed by someone? I mean, ignoring the fact that Joey was shagging in an adult entertainment director’s home, he should be allowed to have a little action without someone selling it a profiting from it. I wonder what the exact details of the deal are? Will Joey and Evanka get a actor’s fee?

If the adult entertainment industry keeps this up, people are going to think it’s a dirty business with no morals.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Joey Buttafuoco and his wife, Evanka, are shown on 5/4/07, thanks to Splash News.

Adriana Lima Sex Tape is Not Her (Article SFW, links not for under 18)

adrianalimasextapenother.jpg
I just got an e-mail about a potential Adriana Lima sex tape. In case you’re not familiar with her, she’s a 26 year-old Brazilian supermodel and Victoria’s Secret model who claimed in an interview in early 2006 to be a virgin. Whether that’s still true or was even true at the time is up to debate, but it’s certainly not her in a highly-produced porn clip that’s being marketed as her. She did star in a photoshoot for GQ magazine that looked like a gang bang scene, but in the clip the woman’s face only slightly resembles hers. There are also two guys in the film, not just the one she’s banging. Another man’s black socks are visible on the bed in some shots. Plus the camera is moving around, so there’s someone controlling it, and it looks like standard porn. Celebrity sex tapes typically involve two people and a stable camera.

What’s more is that, like Eva Longoria’s rumored sex tape, this one is being used to market a porn site under the domain AdrianaLimaSexTape.net. So it seems someone is capitalizing on Adriana’s still somewhat-good name with a decent, but not convincing lookalike. Here’s a link to a very NSFW or under-18 clip of the supposed film. Thanks to blogofhilarity for the heads up.

Amy Fisher promoting her sex tape

jtm-003159.jpg

Today seems to really have just two themes, in terms of celebrity gossip. Crazy people and sex tapes. Though to be fair, that tends to be how most days are in the celebrity world, it’s just normally not so obvious. In slightly more random “celebrities,” remember Amy Fisher, the Long Island Lolita? Well she’s got her own sex tape. It turns out she recently reconnected with all-around catch Joey Buttafuoco. He’s the mechanic who she dated as a sixteen-year-old in the early nineties, and then shot his wife Mary Jo in the face.

Fisher’s husband filed for divorce and released their sex tape in retaliation. The pair have reconciled, and instead of going through the hassle of getting the tape removed from circulation, Fisher chose to just take some cash and roll with it.

When Amy Fisher publicly rekindled her romance with Joey Buttafuoco, her then-estranged husband, Lou Bellara, released a sex tape of himself and Fisher in retaliation. The sex tape video has already been leaked all over the net and is number one in porn tape downloads, so Amy Fisher has decided that instead of fighting a losing battle, she is going to make the best of the situation and endorse the sex tape so she can make some money.

“My husband, you know, released this. And you know what? It’s out there. I have two choices. I can sit there and say, it doesn’t exist, which it does exist, you know. Or I can do the intelligent thing.” Which for Fisher means making the best of the situation and making money.

[From Bitten and Bound]

Well, I guess there’s something to be said for just going with the flow. I had no idea that Amy had hooked up with Buttafuoco again. Two years ago Entertainment Tonight or the Insider (they all blend together anymore) did some really annoying series of interviews where they brought Fisher and Buttafuoco together for the first time and taped their ranting confrontations. They managed to stretch it out into segments over two weeks or something. Apparently hiding under all that anger was a lot of love… or a lot of psychosis. I can’t really blame Fisher’s husband for being pissed. It really is making the best of the situation: now they have her bail money for the next person she shoots in the face.

Vivica A Fox in sex tape scandal (update: link to video)

91803119.jpg

Sorta-actress/former Dancing with the Stars contestant Vivica A. Fox has a new scandal under her belt – supposedly the actress was filmed without her knowledge while giving oral sex to an Atlanta gentleman. Though we enjoy mocking celebrities who pose for naked photos and then are shocked when they end up on the internet, being taped without your consent while doing something we all do – but that is nonetheless completely private – isn’t something to judge a person over. Except the man who taped it.

A boyfriend allegedly filmed the unsuspecting Fox as she performed oral sex on him, according to Internet reports. Atlanta blogger Sandra Rose contends that the man captured the act with his cell phone and that he later e-mailed friends the footage of Fox “on her knees.” One of those friends forwarded the e-mail to Fox, who has sought advice from “a friend at the Atlanta Police Department,” according to Rose.

But Fox’s manager, Lita Richardson, told the Daily News, “It’s not true,” without saying what part of the report she was disputing. However, an Atlanta radio personality, Porsche Foxx, “confirmed that her close friend Vivica Fox appears in a controversial sex tape,” according to Rose.

[From Fox News]

Various media outlets are reporting that the guy is anything from Vivica’s longtime boyfriend to a complete stranger that she picked up. It doesn’t really matter though – whatever he is to her, if he taped her without her knowledge, that’s disgusting. It’s unclear whether he’s using the footage to extort her in some way, just to embarrass her, or for his own bragging rights.

Vivica is certainly no stranger to controversy. She was booked on a DUI charge in December and could go to jail for six months. She also pleaded not guilty to two DUI counts in September. She was arrested in March for doing 80 mph while weaving through traffic on the Ventura Freeway, at which point she called the arresting officers “racist white cops.” So it’s not like things were going really well for her before all this. Vivica has often been featured on websites about bad plastic surgery for her bad brow job and lip plumper addiction. Before Dancing with the Stars, she was not getting any good press. Now it seems like she’s back where she started. Hopefully the video will stay under wraps, and Fox will get her drinking under control.

Update by Celebitchy: Here’s a link to a NSFW but PG-13 censored version of the supposed BJ video of Vivica Fox. It’s clear what’s going on. I hope she sues the guy who took this tape without her knowledge.
