Karissa Shannon Sex Tape Release: It's a Go!

Sam Jones III and Karissa Shannon are releasing their sex tape. It was only a matter of time. It only took a little of that, and cash, for the boning to go public.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ that they both agreed to sell the Karissa Shannon Sex Tape o Vivid Entertainment when the offer hit the "six-figure range."
Vivid President Steven Hirsch says, "We are excited to finally distribute this amazing DVD. Not only is this extremely kinky for a celebrity sex tape, Karissa is absolutely beautiful. And as for Sam, let's just say he's no Smallville."
"This tape is sure to be one of our all-time best sellers."

Chelsea Handler Sex Tape: Revealed, Possibly a Joke

Chelsea Handler made a sex tape. That much is clear.

What's unclear is what its purpose was. The Chelsea Lately host's rep, Stephen Huvane, claimed it was all part of a comedy bit. A sexy comedy bit.

Viewing the Chelsea Handler sex tape makes that explanation highly questionable, however, as both Chelsea and her partner are both very naked.

The action is clearly not simulated, either.

The tape, which was made nearly a decade ago after Chelsea moved to Los Angeles starts out with Chelsea turning on the camera in her apartment.
Chelsea, who is on all fours on a bed is naked and at several times during the filming she looks directly at the camera whilst in the midst of the act.

At the end of the “performance” Chelsea’s partner speaks in a clear British accent, asking, “Did we get the (bleep) shot?” You always gotta get that.

Chelsea looks into the camera and smiles at this point. Then the tape immediately cuts back into Chelsea continuing her stand-up routine at home.

Reached for comment by Radar Online, Chelsea’s rep Huvane said: “The tape you have is an old tape that was done for a stand up comedy bit.”

He indicated that Chelsea would address it on her E! show ... but from what we've seen, if it’s a routine, it’s the most X-rated routine of all time.
The unnamed source that leaked the sex tape said the following:

“This is an old tape Chelsea had put together just a couple years after moving out to Hollywood when she was trying to make it as a comedienne.”

“Chelsea gave this demo tape to a bunch of talent agents and managers hoping to book some gigs,” the source continues. “It was taken so long ago and distributed on old VHS tapes, that I’m sure most people just threw them out."

"Her stand-up was so bad and they didn’t realize she would make it big one day. It’s highly possible that many of the recipients of the tape didn’t even watch past the first couple of minutes and missed the sex tape part altogether.”

So ... cover up of a sex tape or a comedy routine with explicit sex? You decide ... and we imagine Michelle McGee has some thoughts on the matter.

Mindy McCready Sex Tape: Released, Hilarious

The long-awaited Mindy McCready sex tape (don't act like you weren't wondering about it) is on the verge of being released, and its premise is far from unfunny.

With Mindy McCready, Baseball Mistress, the troubled singer joins the ranks of sex tape purveyors like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Shauna Sand, and so on.

The funny thing about calling it Baseball Mistress - besides that Mindy McCready has a sex tape at all - is that it's a reference to her affair with Roger Clemens.

The steroid fiend and MLB legend is not featured on the tape, of course. Minor detail. Still, McCready donned baseball-themed garb for the cover, so ... yeah
We have to guess that Vivid Entertainment, which has set an April 19 release date for the Mindy McCready sex tape, will be hearing from Rog's lawyer Rusty Hardin.

Then again, he isn't mentioned by name, and who knows, maybe he already gave his consent in exchange for a cut of the profits. Dude's image kind of took a hit.

The video features McCready and a boyfriend named "Peter," and in addition to the feverish body slapping, McCready offers commentary about previous conquests.

Her bedpost notches include Alan Jackson, Dean Cain and, of course, Clemens. No mention of Kari Ann Peniche, whose Eric Dane tape Mindy's accused of stealing.

Shauna Sand Sex Tape: Staged, Far From Hot

Yesterday, we reported that Vivid is putting out a Shauna Sand sex tape, but that Shauna is lawyering up, claiming they don't have permission to release it.

She admits it is just one of many sex tapes she has made with her current boyfriend, who we're pretty sure is Romain Chavent. Vivid says it's got the rights.

"We were approached by a third party with the footage" and are "comfortable with our legal position releasing the footage," the entertainment company stated.

Shauna's own stepdaughter, Shayne Lamas, called her out on this obvious PR stunt, the likes of which we have seen and reported on countless times before.

As you can see, the footage from this "private" Shauna Sand video is of superior quality than some movies and TV shows, and the still photos are airbrushed:

As the old adage goes, if a camera crew films you from multiple angles and you stare blankly at their lenses, as if the guy isn't even there, is it even a sex tape?

In any case, we're pretty sure that soon enough, we'll be asked to remove the pictures because we are violating her right to privacy or some such nonsense.

It's a flimsy legal claim, as she clearly wants us to see her getting violated in an entirely different way, but we'll comply because it's not worth the legal fees.

Follow the jump if you're interested in some sexy hilariously staged pictures from the porno Shauna Sand video. Be forewarned, though, that:

1. Some of the pictures here are pretty graphic.
2. It's Shauna Sand. You can do a lot better. Seriously. Think Heidi Montag, but 15 years and as many plastic surgeries later, and less cute to begin with.

Celebrity Sex Tapes: The Hollywood Gossip Top 10

What is it with stars filming themselves while getting it on?

So many sex tape scandals have dominated the news in recent years that this week's Eric Dane tape doesn't even make the list. Partly because there was no sex on it, but still. That was a naked and odd display, but not really scandalous.

Other sex tapes, however, have provided ample gossip fodder, unintentional comedy and occasional lawsuits. Some of the videos featured attractive stars, others did not. Some salaciously derailed careers, while others launched them.

What was your fave? Which do you remember most? Which scarred you for life?

Here's a look at Top 10 Celebrity Sex Tapes ...

10. Lauren Conrad. We know. There was no Lauren Conrad sex tape. But few real tapes have sparked as much gossip as this, which Spencer Pratt concocted during his feud with LC. Honorable made-up mention: Britney Spears-Kevin Federline.

9. Olivia Mojica. This American Idol reject tried to procure a 16th minute of fame with a hard core sex romp, fittingly entitled Hard Core Idol. This tape was most notable as the first in which the star personally asked us to take it down.

8. R. Kelly. When one gets indicted on 21 counts of having sex with a minor (and also urinating on her), it probably seems like not that big a deal when one is eventually acquitted of a more tame charge of soliciting a minor for child porn.
7. Colin Farrell. The actor absolutely went to town on girlfriend and Playboy Playmate Nicole Narain. Their sex tape was widely distributed and popular.

6. Verne Troyer. Admit it, you were grossed out last year when you heard about it, but still watched. It's okay. We did too, and still have nightmares.

5. Dustin Diamond. Dude claimed he didn't condone the video's release, all the while making a back-channel deal with David Hans Schmidt (R.I.P. Dave). That's ethically filthy. Giving those skanks the "Dirty Sanchez" treatment was worse, though.

4. Pamela Anderson. Long before Andy Samberg was on a boat, Pam and Tommy Lee were. Boinking. The couple's honeymoon sex escapades were then stolen from their home and leaked online, sparking years of moans, groans and lawsuits.

3. Rob Lowe. Now a distant memory for the redeemed actor, his 1988 sex tape was a real career Lowe point. He took a random girl home from the Democratic National Convention who turned out to be 16. Rob went to rehab for sex addiction.

2. Paris Hilton. If you didn't know the ho-tel heiress before Rick Salomon hit it night-vision style ... you definitely heard about Rick hitting it night-vision style.

1. Kim Kardashian. The only thing given to this socialite that was longer-lasting than Ray J's erect unit was the publicity Kim's sex tape has garnered for her. Kim is still using her body for attention, but keeps it a bit more kovered these days.
