电影 名人性.爱录像带 Celebrity Sex Tape

A  celebrity  sex  tape  is  typically  an  amateur  pornographic  video  recording  involving  one  or  more  celebrity  famous  person(s)  which  has,  intentionally  or  unintentionally,  been  made  available  publicly.  Such  video  tapes  are  often  released  without  the  consent  of  their  subjects,  and  could  potentially  damage  celebrities'  careers.  In  1988,  a  sex  tape  caused  significant  damage  to  Rob  Lowe's  career.  In  recent  years,  however,  many  celebrities  have  benefited  from  the  publicity  resulting  from  the  release  of  a  sex  tape.  The  release  of  Paris  Hilton's  sex  tape  in  2003  as  well  as  Kim  Kardashian's  sex  tape  in  2007  brought  them  to  a  new  level  of  fame,  leading  to  magazine  covers,  book  deals,  and  reality  TV  series.
The  surfacing  of  sex  tapes  has  become  so  common  that  some  are  "leaked"  as  a  marketing  tool  to  advance  or  establish  a  media  career.  A  celebrity  can  fight  the  release  in  court  to  maintain  deniability  while  still  enjoying  the  career  benefits.  In  contrast,  a  celebrity  may  take  the  route  of  openly  releasing  the  tape  and  benefit  directly  from  royalties  as  well  as  indirectly  from  the  publicity.  The  current  public  acceptance  of  celebrities  with  sex  tapes  is  speculated  by  Joe  Levy,  executive  editor  of  Rolling  Stone,  to  be  due  to  the  easy  availability  of  pornography,  as  well  as  couples  more  commonly  making  their  own  tapes  due  to  the  prevalence  of  video  cameras
