Why Celebrity Sex Tapes Just Aren't As Shocking As They Once Were?
Remember when learning upto a celeb's sex tape would elicit an audible gasp in preference to an audible groan? Yup, not so long ago, dirty-vid scandals were actually, well, scandalous. Take a look at our abridged timeline and allow us to pinpoint where things went boring.
1998: Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee Sex Tape
This extremely NSFW home video, which the sexed-up couple upon their honeymoon, eventually became one of the most best-selling adult flicks at this moment. Thinking that had a lot about two from the supporting roles: Pam's iconic implants and Tommy's massive junk. But, being the legend goes, it was eventually never intended as published - it absolutely was swiped within the couple's house and outed without their consent.Privided you can believe it, in older times, the production of those sorts of videos was rarely resulting from an ulterior motive (career advancement, revenge).
2003: Paris Hilton Sex Tape
The willowy socialite and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon recorded themselves - in night vision, how else? - sex in any hotel room. Paris initially tried to stop the distribution of the tape but eventually opted for its releaseand now receives royalties (should, you already know, her gazillion-dollar inheritance ever dries up). The footage was add to the market industry commercially within the classy-as-all-get-out title 1 Night in Paris. Don't you find it crazy how almost the entire package unfolded and garnered numerous press and had people and blogs buzzing nonstop about Ms. Hilton precisely one week before her reality show, The Simple Life, premiered?
2007: Kim Kardashian Sex Tape
Like her former gal pal Paris, Kim wasn't an incredible star when her sex tape surfaced, and she threatened legal action to bar its distribution. Unlike Paris
celebrity sex tapes, though, Kim deflected the intense media scrutiny and allows been leading a megasuccessful, scandal- and arrest-free career since then. For certain, the tape is the reason why even our grandparents realize what a "Kardashian" is - soon after its release, she and her family started filming their reality show for E! and personal branding consistently - but Kim has spoken publicly about how much she regrets the whole of the sex-tape ordeal.
2010: Kendra Wilkinson Sex Tape
Hugh Hefner's bubbliest former girlfriend - who's now married to pro football player Hank Baskett and mother to Hank IV - attemptedto block the making for the unauthorized seven-year-old sex tape. Certainly was posted online anyway. We're feeling bad for the lady: She was just 18 right at that moment, and she's totally turned over a brand new leaf (once she retired her latex body paint and moved from thePlayboy mansion, needless to say). We simplycan't help but wonder: If she really didn't want the
celebrity sex tapes to grab attention, why would she cause it to the key plotline of her current reality show's season-two finale?
