Charlie Crist is the Republican governor of the great state of Florida. He is pretty popular out there. Less polarizing than Jeb Bush, certainly. And he's been named as a possible running mate for John McCain. There is just one problem. Everyone seems to think he's gay, for some crazy reason. "Some crazy reason," by the way, means "a 21-year-old Katherine Harris staffer who claimed he fucked Crist, and who went on the say that another Harris staffer was Crist's long-term partner." Crist denies everything. And now, conveniently, the heterosexual "Charlie Crist sex tape" (ugggghhhh) has surfaced. You'll never guess who's behind it!

"Exactly how many women have there been in Gene Simmons' life?" That's the teaser in an ad for the old KISS frontman's reality show, Family Jewels. The new season of the show debuts March 11 on A&E, and the promo campaign for it is in full effect. Which has some people asking: Was that sex tape all a big publicity stunt?

The TMZ (it's sort of like a DMZ, but full of Anna Nicole!) tells us that "The Hills" star Lauren Conrad will not be splaying her parts on the YouTubes with a sex tape anytime soon. Sad day for new media and democracy! Apparently her official relations partner, a cyborg curiously named Jason Wahler, is either too mean and nasty for hard-core pornographers to agree to purchase the sex tape or, he couldn't get it up. We think it's more likely that there were no boobies on the tape. Boobies + internets = profit!

According to this Fox News clip, Britain's News of the World (which, like Fox, is owned by NewsCorp, which we guess makes this more of an 'ad' than a news story), has offered K-Fed $50 million for a "four hour" tape of him playing chess with — oh, and boning — Britney on their honeymoon. Watch for more explainy-talk from the newsbots, plus some vintage Plastic Jumpsuit Tour stock footage.
So is a Britney sex tape really worth $50 million? Well, let's poll its potential target audience: ridiculously gay Project Runway winners. "I hope the Britney sex tape is real," Rush & Molloy quote Jay McCaroll as saying. "Kevin Federline is so flippin' hot, I just don't know what to do with myself." Yes, Jay, our thoughts . . . exactly.
Hide the cheetos. Britney Spears' lawsuit against Us Weekly, in which she claimed that that magazine had libeled her — not by reporting that she and KFed had made a sex tape (well, duh! Wasn't it called "Chaotic?"), but by saying that she had "acted goofy" while watching the tape in her lawyer's office — has been dismissed. The judge, not being a complete retard, saw right through that one and ruled that since Brit had "put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye," the magazine had not defamed her. Hear that, Britney? Put your modern sexuality away now. Please. Please please.
