According to Wikipedia, on November 5, 2009, seven sex tapes of  Miss Trinidad & Tobago Universe 2008, Anya Ayoung-Chee, surfaced on the internet. The celebrity sex tape has become a common mishap in the life of a celebrity.  Amongst the celebrity sex files roaming the internet are Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian (which clearly gave her props with Reggie Bush!), Pamela Anderson, Colin Farrell and Kid Rock.

Some media outlets are portraying Ayoung-Chee's tapes as a "leak" however, I'm starting to believe that releasing a sex tape is PR 101 for females wanting to penetrate (no pun intended, well maybe a little!!) the entertainment industry.  Ms. Chee is a fashion designer and launched her line last year.  She is also creative director of a very successful  talent agency in Trinidad.   Ms. Chee is also a member of the TallMan Foundation which was founded by her family for the empowerment of young people in underprivileged areas.  In other words, she has a lot going on and a robust career in the making.   And, maybe, just maybe, a sizzling hot sex tape might just set it off!  Look at what it did for the careers of some of the aforementioned celebrities...Only problem here is that her sex tape is boring!!!   If you put out a sex tape, make sure its full of splits and tricks!  This one just doesn't not qualify.  So, I'm left thinking that maybe it really is a "leak".

Looking a bit Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct", a very poised Rihanna discussed all the details of her beating at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, pop star Chris Brown.  The interview with Diane Sawyer aired Friday on 20/20. Rihanna has drawn her line in the sand - she is not a victim! She has made it clear that she is "strong" and would not take part in continuing an abusive relationship. The 21 year old singer admits that she still cares for Chris Brown and it is very apparent however her resolve to move forward is even more pronounced.  Rihanna said "Eff Love,....Love is So Blind". Pop the hood and watch the video...
