A new tell-all book written by a former campaign aide alleges that John Edwards and Reille Hunter captured their illicit romance on video. Gawker’s Ravi Somaiya:
Sources have told us that, in the throes of their affair, John Edwards and Rielle Hunter made a sex tape that contains “several sex acts.” And that his aide, Andrew Young found it on an unmarked DVD.
The tape, say both our sources, is explicit and reveals that Edwards “is physically very striking, in a certain area. Everyone who sees it says ‘whoa’. She’s behind the camera at first.”
When rumors of the affair first broke Young was so loyal to Edwards that he pretended that he was the father of Hunter’s daughter Frances Quinn, now 2. But part of Young’s disillusionment with the 2004 vice presidential candidate and 2008 candidate came one day as he went through a stack of DVDs at Rielle Hunter’s house.
Ravi’s soliciting copies of the tape. I’ll pass, thanks.
Thus far, David Corn has the best line on this: “John Edwards’ mission in life: to make Tiger Woods look good.“
As I sit here hating myself for the hangover I have brought on myself, I feel a bit better because I get to laugh at Jennifer Lopez falling on her ass during the 2009 American Music Awards last night. She was performing her new song Louboutins but don’t worry I’m not going to torture you with watching the whole thing so just skip to the 2:50 mark for the fun.
I love it when celebrities fall and it being Jennifer Lopez is even better!
Some things just shouldn’t be allowed to be made, the new Flaming Lips‘ video is one of those things.
The video features a bunch of naked men and women running around and cycling bikes after they all come out of a giant vagina ball. Don’t understand me? You will see for yourself…
I’m never stuck for words but yeah this time I am, watch the video and let me know what you think.
Ever watched the news and seen news reporters trying to do their job while in the middle of hurricane winds or any other disaster? Well it seems this isn’t all they have to deal with. Asylum.com have come up with a great list of things that happen behind a reporters back when people jump in the camera.
01. Newsflash: My Butt Was Just Pinched
This grabby Gus casually strolls through the shot and gives the reporter’s backside a little squeeze. The creepiest part, however, may be the weird old man in the background who darts out to watch and then back into hiding.
02. Off to a Bad Start
Rule number one of TV Journalism: Even if you get beer spilled on your head by rowdy football hooligans before you start speaking, the show must go on.
03. Self-Fulfilling Naked Prophecy
This reporter was asking for it when he used the phrase “streak of weather.”
04. Reporter Discusses High Winds, Gets Full Moon
In Palmdale, drive-by moonings are a grave and growing problem.
05. Thief Takes the Saying “Stealing the Mic” Literally
Reporters often worry about people grabbing the microphone away during an interview. This reporter almost gets hers stolen. The would-be thief faced a tough choice: Steal the just-released iPhone from the guy being interviewed, or the microphone from the reporter. He goes for the latter. You can’t tweet with that thing, genius.
06. Reporter Gets the Evil Eye From About 30 People
Before the summer’s volatile health-care reform rumble, town hall meetings were a place where things were discussed civilly, without Photoshopped posters of the president sporting a Hitler ’stache and manufactured slogans being screamed. This reporter learns the hard (and awkward) way that maybe broadcasting live during a meeting isn’t a good idea.
07. In Other News: Two Old Guys Fighting
This just in! Random fight breaks out between two old guys on the street. Who knows what the reporter was originally covering, but watching an old guy take a swing, miss, and have an “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” moment is clearly more important.
08. Guy Faceplants on Stairs Behind Reporter
Karma comes quickly to this dancing d-bag. He mimics the reporter, dances and even dry humps him. However, his 15 minutes of fame makes him forget how to walk up stairs.
09. Crazy Lumberjack Guy
Segueing from a clip featuring riot cops is never easy. This reporter pulls it off with aplomb thanks to a shirtless, neck-bearded man twirling a T-shirt.
My favorite has to be the two old guys fighting, what one do you like?

Shauna Sand has a hardcore sex tape that’s about to be released — but her defense is almost as revealing as the tape itself.
Vivid Entertainment has acquired the tape, featuring Sand and her Miami boyfriend, and plans to release it on October 19th. But not without a fight from Shauna.
Shauna Sand told TMZ,
“Yes I did make a sex tape with my boyfriend earlier this year. In fact I’ve made several sex tapes, but I certainly didn’t sign off on this and Vivid has no right to put it out. I am trying to get a hold of my attorney now.”
But Vivid founder Steven Hirsch says he’s legally entitled to hawk the tape, saying,
“We were approached by a third party, who brought us footage of Shauna having sex with her current boyfriend and we were immediately interested in acquiring it … We’re comfortable with our legal position in releasing this footage.”
I wonder how Lorenzo Lamas feels about the mother of his three children bumpin uglies on tape.
Yes, it’s really her! You can see a screen cap after the jump, and the (NSFW) trailer HERE.
Randy Quaid and his wife Evi were arrested in Marfa, Texas yesterday. Law enforcement sources said they were picked up by Presidio County Sheriff’s deputies.
There was a struggle and deputies had to wrestle Evi to the ground as she screamed loudly.
Felony arrest warrants had been issued for the Quaids in Santa Barbara, CA for burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy. They’re accused of stiffing the San Ysidro Ranch near Santa Barbara out of thousands of bucks.
Presidio County Sheriff’s deputies said that Randy assaulted them both physically and verbally and resisted arrest, but they will not file charges.The Sheriff’s Office is in touch with officials in Santa Barbara County, who want Randy and Evi extradited.
Bonus #1 — A hand written statement The Quaids scribbled especially for us, which reads in part, “I promise the state of California, Texas does not bother people over hamburgers ordered by room service, supposedly burglarized.”
Bonus #2 — A copy of a cashier’s check from the Quaids to the San Ysidro Ranch — the place they allegedly stiffed — for $5,546.96.
Remember Randy Quaid in Christmas Vacation? Yeah, this totally doesn’t surprise me.

Photos of East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer dressed in drag and posing in sexy (MySpace-like) positions have surfaced just days before the primary election.
Brewer will not confirm or deny whether the photos are of him. He told reporters,
“Are you all part of the Eric Brewer for governor campaign? You need a sex scandal if you want to get to the next level.”
But he did criticize WKYC Channel 3, saying the station aired the story Wednesday without contacting him for comment. He demanded the station reveal how it obtained the photos.
Brewer said, reading a statement outside his campaign headquarters, next to City Hall on Euclid Avenue,
“I had not seen any of the pictures until WKYC’s broadcast yesterday evening.”
Brewer accused his mayoral opponent, City Council President Gary Norton, and members of the Police Department of circulating copies of the photos. He believes police got involved because he fired multiple officers for misconduct during his first term.

Pamela Anderson’s sexy PETA ad won’t fly in New York airports.
The New York Post reports that CNN Airport Network banned PETA’s new anti-fur, anti-leather commercial in which the former “Baywatch” star plays a sexy airport security guard who strips passengers of animal products.
The spot was set to debut Thursday at all three New York area airports but CNN pulled the plug, saying it wasn’t suitable for children, according to the Post report.
PETA may still try to make the ad part of in-flight entertainment.
Also featured in the “Cruelty Doesn’t Fly” commercial: Steve-O, Andy Dick, Carol Leifer and Nina Hagen.
It took longer than expected, but here’s one of the first “MICHAEL JACKSON IS STILL ALIVE” vidoes. I’m sure there will be many more, just like Elvis Presley.
KTLA posted this clip of “Michael Jackson” getting out of an L.A. Coroner’s van. The person who uploaded the video to LiveLeak wrote this:
“This video shows that Michael was still alive after his dead body was transported to the Los Angeles Dept. of Coroner I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in. I got the original video tape from a trustworthy source. I know him for years. And I am sure it´s real and Michael is alive.”
I don’t believe it — but it does look like Michael Jackson jumping out of that van.
Great Britain crowned 20-year-old Rachel Christie as Miss England during the country’s annual pageant at London’s Metropole Hilton Hotel.
Competing as Miss London City, Christie edged out her rivals to claim the title and will now compete for the Miss World crown in Johannesburg in December.
Christie specializes in the heptathlon and the 400 meters and is hoping to join the ranks of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Her uncle is British Olympic gold medalist Linford Christie, who stands as the most decorated British athlete. He is also regarded as the second fastest European in history and even has a stadium in West London named in his honor.
“My ambition in life is to compete and win gold in the 2012 Olympics. I would also love to do well in Miss England. I want to be successful in whatever I choose to do in life.”
Katrina Hodge, a 21-year-old soldier decorated for her bravery in Iraq, came in second in the Miss England grand final, which was decided after a public vote.
According to the pageant’s Web site, “the girls are talented, healthy and well-educated and are all vying for the privilege of representing England at the Miss World contest in South Africa later in the year.”

The disgusting (and illegal) voyeuristic inspiration that led to video of an unknowing Erin Andrews nude in a hotel room didn’t stop users from searching for the clip.
Taking advantage of what was a highly-searched topic over the weekend, many sites set up links advertising the video, even after ESPN, Andrews’ employer, and her lawyer put forth a strong legal effort to get all traces of the real video taken offline with threats towards anyone who published it.
Graham Cluley of the anti-virus software company Sophos told USA Today,
“Hackers are no slacks when it comes to taking advantage of a hot Internet search trend. And they have been quick to set up bogus Web pages claiming to contain the video footage of Ms. Andrews in her hotel room.”
Last week, rumors began to build that a nude video of Andrews — the popular sideline reporter for the sports media giant — existed, rumors that intensified when ESPN contacted a sports blog about removing the video even though no one had positively identified the woman as Andrews. On Friday, Andrews’ lawyer, Marshall B. Grossman, released a powerful statement confirming the rumors and promising action.
“While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future.
Although the perpetrator or perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material. We request respect of Erin’s privacy at this time, while she and her representatives are working with the authorities.”
The person(s) responsible for the video and its subsequent publication has yet to be identified.
The clip (watch above) shows one take where the pyrotechnics exploded as planned — after Jackson descended the stairs and began performing with his brothers.
To relieve the second and third-degree burns on his scalp and body (and later to help him tolerate multiple surgeries on the scorched spot on his head), Jackson was prescribed several medications — which kicked off his addiction to painkillers and obsession with plastic surgery.
This is just mad crazy, you can even see his burned scalp! Is all of this really necessary?

Mel Gibson isn’t wasting anytime with his girlfriend’s singing career. Less than a month after Oksana Grigorieva released a video for her first song ‘Say My Name,’ she is back with another one.
‘Beautiful Heartache‘ was directed by Gibson during a seven-day shoot in Mexico and features one heated tango.
Grigorieva, 39, is expecting her first child with Gibson in late fall and also plans to release her debut album this year under Gibson’s record label Icon Entertainment.
The video is apparently to promote some art exhibition in Israel, where the model is from. But who cares what the purpose of this video is, it has one of the hottest women in the world lying naked.
If the above black and white video of Bar Rafaeli playing around naked isn’t enough for you, here is some screencaps for you to “right click and save.”
Veteran reporter Ann Curry has anchored NBC’s ‘Dateline’ and ‘Nightly News,’ but her professionalism is no match for the magnetic power of Brad Pitt. In a ‘Today’ show interview, Curry could barely keep her hands to herself, going so far as to grab the actor’s chin.
The two spoke at the Cannes Film Festival where Pitt is promoting his latest film, ‘Inglourious Basterds,’ in a segment that aired during Wednesday’s ‘Today’ show. Curry took a momentary break from pawing the star to discuss how lucky she is to stand in such close proximity to his internationally appreciated hotness.
“Women who watch the ‘Today’ show are really envious of me right now because I get to stand here in Cannes talking to you,” Curry told Pitt, and asked how he would respond to his female fans.
