Opie's $10 Million Page Six Suit: The Source Denies All
Chaunce Hayden (pictured: his back tat), the editor of marginal gossip rag Steppin' Out, was named in a $10 million lawsuit yesterday for being the source who provided Page Six with a false item about a sex tape featuring Bam Margera and the fiancee of radio shock jock Opie. The Post already tried to pin all the blame for the mistake on Hayden (which is rather ungallant, whether accurate or not). And Page Six editor Richard Johnson even told Hayden he would never use another item from him again. But Chaunce has his own story, which can be summed up as: I just said this was a rumored sex tape, jerks. And I didn't start the rumor. It was some dude named, uh... Ben!: More »

Opie's Fiancee Sues Post, Richard Johnson For Millions
Remember when Page Six published a story in April about a purported sex tape featuring Bam Margera and the fiancee of radio shock jock Opie? And Opie immediately denied it, and then the Post admitted it probably wasn't true, and blamed it on a bad source? Well Opie is not the type to let them off that easy—his fiancee has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the Post, Page Six editor Richard Johnson, and the source, Steppin' Out editor Chaunce Hayden. It's a bottom-of-the-barrel multimillion-dollar legal slapfight! Highlights of the lawsuit: More »

Richard Johnson Won't Let Source Burn Him Twice
Last month, Page Six ran an item about a sex tape featuring Bam Margera Bam-ing the fiancee of radio shock jock Opie. Opie said the whole thing was false, and offered $100,000 to anyone who could produce the tape. A couple of weeks later the Post ran a retraction of the item—but laid the blame at the feet of Steppin' Out editor Chaunce Hayden, who they said gave them the bad info in the first place. Well Chaunce Hayden, unrepentant media whore, wouldn't let such a thing pass without turning it into a feud! And he helpfully forwarded on the snippy emails between himself and Page Six boss Richard Johnson. Watch out for flying spittle! More »

R. Kelly Actually Going to Stand Trial
Remember that whole thing six years ago with R. Kelly where this happened? "The [Chicago] Sun-Times reported it had received a 27-minute video of Kelly having sex with various women, and most troubling, the paper said, one scene appeared to show Kelly having sex with an underage girl and urinating on her face." [MTV] But then nothing much happened and people still bought his CDs and went to his concerts and all? Well, his trial finally starts this week and things are looking downright shitty for the singer.

Coupling
TMZ, which is most likely our Skynet, has posted the most horrible video ever made. It's about Jim Hendrix's sex tape. It involves old groupies watching and purring and saying the word "dick" a lot and also "purple." I recommend borrowing someone else's eyeballs. Jerry Orbach lent me his. (NSFW, unless you work in a sex dungeon. Well, maybe it is. I don't know.) [TMZ]
Hendrix Sex Tape Authenticity Purple Hazy
"In a twist on the recent string of sex tapes of Hollywood’s young stars, Vivid Entertainment plans to release what it says is a film from the vaults of classic rock: a sex film supposedly of Jimi Hendrix. The film shows a naked man who resembles Hendrix, the guitar legend who died in 1970, wearing a bandanna in his Afro, having sex with two brunettes in a dimly lighted bedroom."

Gene Simmons Sex-Tape Double Cross!
Shockingly, Gene Simmons' on-camera strumming of one "Elsa" was not the fairytale romance it seemed. Everyone thought Elsa was just an innocent energy-drink spokesmodel who happened to fall for former KISS bassist Simmons, but she's actually some kind of professional at internet sexiness, having posed topless in exchange for money. Also outrageous: Her name isn't really Elsa, it's Traci Anna Koval, and she might not even be Australian but Dutch! Fleshbot has topless pics of Koval (NSFW) and more backstory. Worse still, the woman may have reneged on a deal with Simmons to keep the sex video hushed. Simmons' lawyers told Valleywag that Koval signed over rights to the tape in 2003 and that it was filmed without Simmons' consent. But the company now selling the tape said Koval sold rights to them, and that the tape is only nine months old. It's getting to the point where a scuzzy B-list rocker can't get a quick lay from a woman half his age without getting taken advantage of. [Fleshbot (NSFW), Valleywag (safe)]

How Gene Simmons' Sex Tape Is The Fairytale Romance Of Our Time
At first revolting glance, the Gene Simmons sex tape might seem like the sad ploy of a desperate, B-list celebrity for attention and money. Watch it closely, however, and the black-and-white footage reveals itself as a touching union of two souls, a dance of admiration and tenderness between weary spiritual rebels. Can a washed-up rock-and-roll bassist and an Australian marketing "babe" called Elsa make it in a hostile world when all they've got is a video camera, some pillows shaped like cats — and each other? Will Elsa ever overcome her intimacy issues and kiss Gene? Would Gene rather look at Elsa, or at himself? Either watch the video yourself (NSFW), or follow the drama in this totally-safe-for-work film strip adaptation of the Gene Simmons Sex Tape: More »
This tops the list of four-word phrases that we file in our "DO NOT WANT" folder. We're not even sure if this really is White Stripes drummer Meg White taking it in a variety of different positions; if it is, she's showing more rhythm that she's ever previously displayed. TOTALLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK. [Fleshbot]

Britney Does Not Have a 'Highly Sexualized Public Persona,' Dammit
A few months ago Britney Spears announced she was suing Us Weekly for libel over the magazine's report that this refined lady and her debonair husband had made a sex tape and then screened it with their attorney. Not true!, insisted the Spearserlines, and now we've gotten our grubby mitts on the latest legal document protesting their innocence, filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court. More »

The D-List Horror of the Kid Rock Sex Tape
The world is a cruel, unforgiving place, full of darkness and pain — that's why something as disgusting as a sex tape featuring Kid Rock and former Creed frontman Scott Stapp even exists. And because evil knows no limits, a preview of said video is now available for those of you interested in a little ocular bleeding. We're letting our perverted brother have the hosting duties, so if you're self-loathing isn't up to par, do head over there. More »
