Gawker ^ | November 15, 2009 | Azaria Jagger

Posted on 11/16/2009 6:48:41 AM PST by tlb

Vivid has announced that it has the tapes in its possession, and TMZ has published a letter from Vivid chair Steve Hirsch to Prejean's lawyers seeking the right to distribute "erotic footage that Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, produced for her boyfriend following their four (4) day rendezvous in February 2007."

Law Offices of Charles S. Limandri P.O. Box 9120 16236 San Dieguito Road Suite 3-15 Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067

Re: Carrie Prejean

Dear Mr. Limandri:

Vivid Entertainment ("Vivid") is interested in acquiring the rights to distribute the erotic footage that Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, produced for her boyfriend following their four (4) day rendezvous in February 2007 (the "Footage").

We would like to present Carrie with several options where she could certainly earn millions of dollars

Vivid is the world's leading adult film company. It places a heavy emphasis on high quality erotic film entertainment. Vivid has been in the adult business for over 25 years and has built an excellent reputation for integrity and fair dealing.

Carrie is a beautiful woman. We believe the Footage will be a huge success and has the potential of being the most successful adult video of all time. We will do it right the first time.

The Footage, starring Carrie, would be distributed on Vivid.com and under the "Vivid-Celeb" imprint, which prior releases include: "Kim Kardashian Superstar" an adult film starring Kim Kardashian and hip hop star Ray J; "Faithless", an adult film staring [sic] Kelli McCarty, former Miss USA and finalist in the Miss Universe pageant; and "Shauna Sand Exposed" an adult film staring [sic] former Playboy Playmate Shauna Sand.

We trust that you will discuss our offer with Carrie, and we look forward to establishing a long term business relationship with her.

Very truly yours, Vivid Entertainment, LLC

/Steven Hirsch/ Co-Chairman

I'd guess TMZ brokered the deal getting tape copies to Vivid. Now they have to get the legal rights. The problem for celebs is if they don't make a deal, the copies can "turn up" with foreign distributors who still peddle the video.

I hope young women will draw the appropriate conclusions about how such behavior can impact their future.

But they probably won’t.

It is very sad what naive girls can be talked into doing by their boyfriends, who often turn out to be complete dirtbags.

The problem for Miss Prejean is that her whole bases for notoriety is her moral stance on marriage.

If she accepts the deal to maintain some control the press will take the tack that she is cashing in on fame.

She loses both ways. But if she accepts money for the publication of a sex video she will lose those who support her for her morality/faith stance.

She looses both ways but I think she looses bigger by making a deal.

If she was 17 when these were made, is that child pornography?

All this to destroy a single, private citizen who gave an honest answer to a loaded question. Political Correctness will find excuses for terrorists who blow up buildings but will utterly destroy a young woman because of she dared venture an opinion. This is what the Left wants to do to the rest of us given the chance. Dissent will not be tolerated and, if you have anything in your past that you are not proud of, they will destroy you personally and professionally for it and all in the name of tolerance.

Oops, I see from various sources that she was born in 1987. That would make her 19+ in 2007.

TMZ? Isn't that the world renown purveyor of middle-school gossip?

Both teenage girls and guys seem to have always found ways to ignore common sense to their sooner or later chagrin and peril.

Despite all the dirtbags involved, her decision however many years before was dumb. Too bad.

Yes, but as prurient as their content may be, it is usually pretty high in accuracy.

as much as I admire Prajean for her stance on marriage, her bahavior in makign these films shows a side that is uncomplimentary.

she was an adult when they were made (apparently) and made an adult decision. obviously she didn’t think this through, and picked a real winner of a boyfriend to boot.

there are consequences. severe ones.

now how does making soft porn films agree with being a good wife and mother? - some day the kids will find them.

She should let them distribute it (for a 90% cut of the gross) and require that it be prefixed with a message from her stating that gay marriage is wrong and sex should be between a man and a woman.

Let's see if they will still distribute it...

Unless she makes the deal and gives the money to wounded veterans or some such....

I suppose that would soften the blow somewhat and allow her to have some contractual control of editing and distribution.

He met this low life online. Shows that pretty girls are frequently lonely girls...In Carrie’s case, she wanted the “bad boy” kind of guy.

I’m sorry, you’re entitled to a mistake, but clearly, she needs to tone down her rhetoric and go quietly away into the night.

I saw the King interview. She had some person on the sides advising her. I think she handled it poorly. Hawking her new book.

Rule one....don’t do anything you wouldn’t want the world to know about it.
