The World Will Get The Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape That It Wasn't Really Asking For

It's been more than 60 days since Vivid Entertainment first broke the news that they were in possession of a Jimi Hendrix sex tape, and since the company hasn't receieved concrete word that the tape is bogus from Jimi's posthumous license company Experience Music LLC, look for it on the shelves of a seedy store near you in the near future. When people look back on this era*, what conclusion do you think they'll come to from the current era's obsession with watching celebrities mate, even dead ones who can't be the objects of any realistic fantasies because their bones were turned into dust long ago? I shudder when I think about it. Anyway, for those of you who would like a primer as to what, exactly, will be on this video, a New York Times recap of it from a few months ago is after the jump.

The Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape: Proof That No Celebrity Is Safe From This Nation's Constant Wank Mining

Vivid Entertainment is releasing a 45-minute DVD purporting to be a sex tape of Jimi Hendrix, and from the description, it sounds like the tape is definitely maybe Hendrix. Or an impersonator. Or, y'know, some dude who has an Afro and rings on his fingers. As the New York Times describes it: "The film shows a naked man who resembles Hendrix, the guitar legend who died in 1970, wearing a bandanna in his Afro, having sex with two brunettes in a dimly lighted bedroom. His full face appears on screen for only a few seconds, with his eyes closed. In other portions there are flashes of his profile. But his hands, bedecked with rings, roam large on the screen at times. The film has no audio." More »

The Latest In Phony Sex Tapes: Production Values! Pete Wentz! That "Hell's Kitchen" Chick!

The rumor that there was a sex tape featuring Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz must have thrilled that cougar-mom who was waiting in line at Sam Ash a few weeks ago, but sadly for her, it isn't real. Which is to say that the footage does really feature him, but he's in "character," acting alongside Bonnie Muirhead, a.k.a. Bonnie from Hell's Kitchen, in a scene from his pal's film Goodnight Moon. What does it say about my blase attitude toward these OMG SEX TAPES that my first thought upon reading about this wasn't "how stupid can people be to think that a sex tape with a soundtrack and multiple camera angles is real??", but "Aw, man, Julia was robbed"? Anyway, the offending scene is after the jump, so as not to get the few of you who are actually at work today fired. More »

"Meg White Sex Tape" Actually Product Of Internet Guy's Feverish "Wank Mining"

When I first mentioned the sudden popularity of the search term "meg white sex tape" to a friend of mine Sunday night, we had the following exchange:

maura@idolator: so do you think the meg white sex tape is legit
unidentified_lurker: oh my god where did you see that?
unidentified_lurker: i mean i've seen it
maura@idolator: it was on google trends
unidentified_lurker: i'm saying who is purporting it's legit
unidentified_lurker: it's a message board joke
unidentified_lurker: i was thinking about forwarding it to you
unidentified_lurker: as a funny joke
unidentified_lurker: it's great to have a video on the internet for indie rock people to jerk off and pretend it's meg white tho

And we all know how that turned out. Anyway, The Daily Swarm plumbed the archives of the message board Hipinion and found where the clip was born—the mind of a poster named Itsmecraig:
