She has been dubbed Iran's Paris Hilton after appearing in a sex video on the internet.

But while Paris's exploits propelled her to worldwide stardom, Zahra Amir Ebrahimi faces ruin, a public lashing and even a jail term.

Ebrahimi is one of the best-known actresses in the strict Islamic country and made the 20-minute sex tape privately with her boyfriend on a camcorder at the flat they shared two years ago.

Unbeknown to her, it was posted on the internet and widely released as a DVD - angering millions in Iran.

Her boyfriend, who has not been named by the authorities in Tehran, is suspected of distributing the material illegally.

He has fled to Dubai and if caught and returned, faces three years in jail and a £6,000 fine for offending public morality.

Now 25-year-old Ebrahimi faces the disgrace of a court case, has been dropped from the top-rated soap where she played a morally upstanding young woman, and has been forced to deny rumours she attempted suicide.

The scale of the scandal has meant Tehran's hardline chief prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi has intervened, ordering a special investigation.

Ebrahimi had been on the verge of landing a number of top roles on Iranian TV dramas.

But with sex outside marriage strictly forbidden in Iran she is being shunned by TV and film companies.

She said this week: "I just want to tell my country's people I am alive. I am thinking about the strength of Iranian women and will defend the respect of the girls and women of my nation."

Good advice my mom gave me during my youth: If you don't want it on the front page of the newspaper -- DON'T DO IT!

"...she is being shunned by TV and film companies."

She can always get a job in Hollywood or at any of the major TV networks here.

Lots of moolah in Tinseltown.

I am surprised she hasn't been murdered yet. After all, isn't she now elgible to be gang raped or worse as the head pig imam in Australia excused the gang rape of a non-muzzie women thusly: "Uncovered women are like meat left out. If the cat eats the meat is the cat to blame?"? (Quote not exact, but the meaning was clear)

Yawn.

So am I.

She gets only a lashing and a jail term. Whatever happened to good old fashioned stonings and beheadings?

I'm not sure I could handle watching 20 minute of that screaming "Oh Allah, Oh Allah.....AAAAAAAAYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAA...oh Allah, oh Allah...

No thanks. ;o)
