Leighton Meester Sex Tape Rumored to Hit Web Soon

According to TMZ, a video of "Gossip Girl's" Leighton Meester having sex with her boyfriend is being shopped around by an outfit called celebhotline.com. The alleged Leighton Meester sex tape shows the actress getting intimate with her boyfriend. TMZ says that celebhotline.com's spokesman, Kevin Blatt, told them that he has seen the Leighton Meester sex tape and hopes to close a deal with a buyer soon.

Whether a Leighton Meester sex tape ever surfaces or not remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: Were a Leighton Meester sex tape to surface, it certainly would not be the first celebrity sex tape to make its way onto the web. In fact, images of celebrities having sex have been circulating in one form or another for many, many years.

For as long as there have been celebrities, there has been celebrity pornography. From the 1930s to the early 1960s, it came in the form of what are known as Tijuana Bibles. Tijuana Bibles were essentially 8-page long pornographic comic books that featured cartoon versions of various characters and celebrities (like Clark Gable, for example) engaged in sexual activity.

It was Rob Lowe who starred in the first authentic high profile celebrity sex tape. When Lowe's videotape was leaked to the public, it set off a firestorm of controversy that nearly destroyed his career. The tape features Lowe having congress with a couple of young babes (one of them underage) that he met at an Atlanta nightclub during the 1988 Democratic National Convention.

Rob Lowe's seminal sex tape is characterized by scandal and infamy. As previously mentioned, it nearly destroyed his career and got him into a heap of legal trouble. The high profile celebrity sex tapes that would follow Lowe's would impact the participants in a much different way. Whereas Rob Lowe's sex tape was damaging, the following celebrities' sex tapes were nothing short of career-enhancing.

Arguably, the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee tape is the mother of all modern-day celebrity sex tapes. A video of the two having sex was allegedly stolen from their home and, as most of the world now knows, ended up going viral on the web. The couple ended up suing the distribution company and were ultimately awarded $1.5 million.

Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian also had sex tapes that went viral on the Internet and, arguably, the extra exposure helped to advance their careers.

So there you have it - a brief history of the celebrity sex tape.

The list of celebrity sex tapes keeps growing.

And now inquiring minds want to know if a Leighton Meester sex tape will join the list.
