Today's Blind Items - The Sex Tape

Would it be the highest selling sex tape of all time? I would say yes. It would definitely be worth tens of millions of dollars. Back when it was shot, it would have just been a fraction of that. Now, though? It would be the talk of the world. Shortly after the release of her second record as part of a group, this permanent A list singer was head over heels in love with the guy who took her virginity. Oh sure, there are legends and mythology about all that, but it was just a guy she was crazy about and would do anything for. This was a time when there were cell phones but they weren't recording a sex session. There was nothing hidden or discreet about this recording. There was no motive to sell it. It was just two people experimenting. About six months after that, the couple split because of her busy schedule and the fact her team thought she could do better and wanted to create this legend. They did so and over the next few years there was a solo record and even an appearance in a movie franchise. So, about five or six years after it was originally shot, the boyfriend who made the sex tape with our singer came looking to make a deal so he could sell the tape. Well, that would have brought down the whole empire just as it was beginning, so a deal was struck. A deal which sounds lavish, but looking at it from the perspective of today, is pretty small. He was paid $250K a year for ten years. He surrendered the tape and signed a NDA, and her people kept their side of the bargain.

What they didn't count on was this same guy dating the younger sister of the permanent A list singer. They also didn't count on his ability to also talk her into making a sex tape. The next thing they knew he was knocking on the door and wanting to talk a deal for that recording too. A lot less, he was paid a flat $250K one time payment. If he had treated both as an investment, they would be worth ten times what he got paid and it has not been that long since he turned over the rights. I do wonder if they exist. The person who would know is the manager at that time who was fired by the permanent A lister and has had money troubles in the past. Would he ever sell it? I doubt it, but you never know exactly what he would do. He is not exactly pious.
