If this is in the wrong forum will a mod please move it.

I just watched Keeley Hazell’s ‘stolen’ sex tape and a very talented lady she is 😃

The question is, why do these celebs allow themselves to be filmed?

The list of celeb sex tapes that have been ‘stolen’ by ex boyfriends, cleaners, maids is virtually endless, Britney Spears, Pam Anderson,Abi Titmuss and so on and so forth.

Don’t these people ever learn that one day that tape will be nicked and will be available on the innernet…not that I’m complaing y’unnerstand 😛

Perhaps the women in question don’t mind their frolics being seen by millions.

While I have no idea who Keeley Hazell or Abi Titmuss is???  
I can say that a Britney Spears sex tape has never surfaced and the Pamela Anderson one was well over 15 years ago.  
The only other one I know of was Paris Hilton.

Where is this virtually endless list of which you speak?

It’s quite possible they’re very aware of it. Having a sex tape released can increase your public profile quite a bit. It worked for Kim Kardashian, but not really for Screech from _Saved By the Bell_.

That’s a really weak list. Once you take the males off of it the only people I have even heard of are Pam Anderson, Paris Hilton, Tonya Harding, and Kim Kardashian.

Why would you take the males off of it? Do they not count?

Hilton initially attempted to stop the distribution of the tape, but later agreed to its release. She now receives profits from the tape.[1] This footage, along with additional full-color footage, was released commercially under the title 1 Night in Paris.[2]

> Joanie Laurer (better known as Chyna) and fellow professional wrestler Sean Waltman (aka X-Pac) appeared in a home sex tape sold under the title 1 Night in China. Unusually, the tape was not accidentally leaked, but was actually solicited to pornographic film distributors by the duo.[1]

I guess for the others, who aren’t actually getting royalites, the publicity is enough.

People can be celebrities in other countries, you know.

An image search [probably NSFW!] for Ms Hazell will reveal why she’s popular over here.

The Keeley Hazel one reminded me how embarrassingly useless most teenage girls are at sex in general - I’m sure boys are the same.

I mean . . completely useless. It was utterly awful.

She’s got A Level’s in bandwaggon jumping is all, even when she doesn’t know one end of a bandwaggon from the other.

I have to confess, I too was underwhelmed.

I couldn’t care less about her lack of knowledge regarding bandwaggons just so long as she knew where to find my soft dangly bits 😛

I have no idea who the hell these people are. Then again, I didn’t know who Kim Kardashian was until a few months ago.
