Celebrity sex tapes

Usher may be the latest celebrity to have a sex tape leaked to the public.

After Kim Kardashian announced she was pregnant with Kanye West's baby, sales of the sex tape she made with R&B star (and Brandy's brother) Ray J in 2007, doubled. Many think the footage helped launch her career, lead to TV's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

In December 2011, TMZ broke the news that two sex tapes had surfaced of Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, one with a man, and another with a woman. McGee is Jesse James' former mistress. Per TMZ, Red Light District has the tapes, but McGee is threatening to sue the porn company to prevent the public release of the tapes.

TMZ claims they have seen a 5-minute sex tape featuring rapper Tupac Shakur at a house party in 1991. TMZ reports that the tape's owner plans to release it. What other celebrities reportedly have sex tapes?

R&B star Rihanna may have had a "Man Down" on a "California King Bed" -- on tape. Or at least that's the rumor. The Barbadian singer is the latest celebrity allegedly caught up in a sex tape scandal. Reports claim "Hustler" has a video of Rihanna and up-and-coming rapper J. Cole in the act. Though Cole did open for Rihanna on her 2011 tour, she says the rumors are untrue because no such tape exists.

Jennifer Lopez is reportedly in a battle with ex-husband Ojani Noa over their honeymoon video. Noa is looking for the highest bidder among porn sites like YouPorn.com and PornHub.com to distribute the film, in which there isn't even any full-on sex, just "spankin' and some booty" as TMZ puts it. J.Lo has been granted a temporary restraining order blocking the release of the sex-less "porn."

TMZ has reported that there is a sex tape of Usher and ex-wife Tameka Raymond. OMG!

Paris Hilton has one of the most famous sex tapes ever made. The socialite's shenanigans, shot in night vision, made endless rounds on the Internet. Hilton at first tried to stop the tape from being released, but has since profited from it after it was distributed commercially.

Rob Lowe's infamous sex tape has ties to Atlanta, as part of the video is an escapade he had during the 1988 Democratic Convention. He almost got into legal trouble over it because of the presence of an underage girl. Another part of the video, featuring a romp in Paris with a model, became one of the first commercially released celebrity sex tapes.

Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee had one of the earliest sex tapes seen on the Internet. Pamela Anderson also has a sex tape with Brett Michaels.

Gene Simmons was the object of ridicule when a sex tape featuring him and an Australian model was released in 2008. The video included cat-shaped pillows and the music of Foreigner. Simmons was furious the video was leaked and took legal action against the company distributing the video online.

One of the more surprising celebrity figures to have a sex tape is former Miss California, Carrie Prejean. A Christian conservative who notoriously declared her opposition to gay marriage during the Miss USA pageant, Prejean's solo sex tape was made for her boyfriend. The tape surfaced as Prejean sued the pageant organization for libel, slander and religious discrimination after being stripped of the crown.

Former vice-presidential candidate John Edwards has a sex tape with mistress Rielle Hunter that was found by his former aide. The tape became legal evidence as the Edwards 2008 campaign is investigated for violations of campaign finance laws.

No, don't get the wrong idea here. Kid Rock, left, and Scott Stapp from Creed were seen together in a sex tape having relations with four groupies.

Tila Tequila, perhaps best known for the MTV show, "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila," had a sex tape depicting her involved with women. It was released by the adult entertainment powerhouse, Vivid, against her wishes, though there is debate about whether this was a private home movie or a professional film.

Disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, and then-husband Jeff Gillooly decided to make money off of their sex tape after it was leaked. It's known as the "Wedding Night" tape because Harding was wearing a wedding dress, but it was actually just a Halloween costume.

Dustin Diamond, known best as Screech on "Saved By the Bell," actually authorized his sex tape as a ploy to save his slumping career.

Amy Fisher, the 'Long Island Lolita,' didn't disappoint her fans as she eventually started her own porn website after several sex tapes with her husband were released.

Tom Sizemore's sex tape surfaced in 2005. Known as the "Tom Sizemore Sex Scandal," he claims to have had a one-night stand with Paris Hilton. She has denied the tryst in multiple interviews.

Verne Troyer, best known as "Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers movie series, had a sex tape leaked in 2008 by his then-girlfriend. Troyer filed a $20 million lawsuit to have the video blocked, and the suit was settled, with only the brief segments posted on TMZ allowed to stay online.
