Controversial PR Stunts

Naughty Celeb Videos That Boosted Careers

— June 28, 2008 — Marketing
It doesn't matter what career you have, if you make a sex tape and leak it, the buzz about you will increase. For example, after Colin Ferrell tried to block the appearance of a tape via a court order, a naughty tape of him and Nicole Narain appeared on the Internet in 2006.

Rob Lowe opted for a tape with two girls, one who turned out to be underage. Not an Internet leak, Chyna Doll released a tape called: 1 Night in China with fellow wrestler, X-Pac, as a career booster. Paris somebody did it. Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly were married, and ended up with a deal with Penthouse. Kelsey Grammar made a sex tape that nobody saw (or admits to seeing.) Fred Durst took his computer in to be repaired and whammo, a tape of him having sex with an unknown woman was leaked. Bob Crane of Hogan's Heros. Pam and Tommy Lee.

Most shocking perhaps is that even the actor who played Mini Me released his own sex tape.
