Ashamed, embarrassed, betrayed. These are words you'll most certainly hear when celebrities look back on those pesky sex tapes that accidentally got leaked. But you won't hear them complaining about the ticket to fame that came along with it.
Paris who? – By now, you've probably heard about Paris Hilton's leaked sex tape. In fact, that's probably how you knew who she was in the first place. Here, she tells CNN's Piers Morgan how she regrets the sex tape she made. What's most notable in the interview is the teary reaction from her mom that will make you want to wiggle right out of your chair.

Curse of the internet – Kim Kardashian is just one of a few in a long list of "celebutantes" to get famous for her late night "sexcapades" on tape. But Kardashian took the embarrassing boost into fame and turned it into a multi-million dollar brand.

Take Danielle Staub for instance. She's one of the "Real Housewives" (in case you don't know who she is). Staub makes a less-than-convincing argument that the tape was supposed to be private.

The only thing Kathy Hilton should be teary-eyed about is the fact that she and her husband raised such a useless twit of a daughter.
Live and let live, man. Worry about yourself.
Hi American Sam. Obviously the Hilton's don't mind public scrutiny. The problem with live and let live is the ones who actually follow it get trampled on by the ones who think that cliche exists to allow people to do whatever they want.
You have to give them credit for turning that into more money though. Except for Paris, as she already had the Hilton name behind her.
Thanks .. my subby hadn't seen the Danielle Staub one ... just downloaded
LOL!
Had no idea who Kardashian was, then I found her tape. So, what are the Kardashians famous for again? lol.
Staub needs to use Preparation H. That troll has a hemorroid the size of Jersey City in that video.
Agree their fame and fortune come almost exclusively from their indescretion. So how come adult film actresses can't build their "brand" and fortune based on exactly the same content?
Yeah, and the Palin tape will be out soon too.
Sorry, he's half black.
Ah! But the real question is...which half?
I don't believe for one moment that these tapes weren't "leaked." No one would give a rat's patooty as to who these bimbos were if it weren't for their tapes.
"rat's patooty" – not even that.
But you won't hear them complaining about the ticket to fame that came along with it.
Its all about the money.
Piers Morgan talking about invasions of privacy is laughable.
This is the guy who ran a tabloid pasting his front pages with trash pieces that ruined some people's lives before they were proven to be fabrications. He thinks he can get away with it in the US because he thinks American’s are too stupid to know what Private Eye or the BBC are.
and you wouldnt go raw in that, i would fo sho!!!
Muppet Show- would u not go raw in that? bc me, i would fo sho and love all of it!!! #panthersfanforlife
bobby c....fo sho...do you have a 3rd grade education??????????
is this what CNN has sunk too, i might as well read People magazine....fluff and garbage all around,...
the next story will be justin beiber , loses virginity.....
But who will be the guy Justin loses it to?
Nice Lou... very nice
Just remember: If we give Paris Hilton more money in the way of a tax reduction, she will stimulate the economy!!!!
Love the equation of "letting her keep her own money" with "giving her money." Awesomely logical!
And provide more jobs: Cameraman, lighting man, editor, director, grip.
...and some guy bought her a huge rock! His nose (and his wallet) is wide open!
Don´t know whats so special about the tapes. These woman are bimbos, not woman. So who cares
They wanted people to see these tapes...it's called publicity...madonna style.
