Toastee's D-List Sex Tape

Has the star power behind America's greatest film genre -- the celebrity sex tape -- dissipated over the past year?  Long ago, we saw sex tapes from big name stars like Colin Farrell, Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee, and of course Paris Hilton, who became an A-list celebrity because of her sex tape.  These videos were lightning rods for media coverage, clogged up Kazaa and porn store shelves, and were all anyone talked about for weeks.  They were eye-opening videos, where you saw your favorite celebrities in a whole new way (y'know... having sex).

Now it seems like every D-List non-celebrity barely scraping by on the Hollywood food chain has a sex tape, and they're all getting written up like it's a big deal.  First there was Dustin "Screech" Diamond, then Kim "I'm a Friend of Paris Hilton" Kardashian & Ray "Who The Hell Is Ray J" J, and now Toastee, a girl from the second season of a third-rate reality show, has released a sex tape, as well.  If I was in a porno store, looking at video boxes, and I came across a girl who was on Flavor of Love, I admit it would get my attention.  But all these blogs and newspapers cover D-List tapes like they're the new Spider-Man.  Toastee is not famous, so her sex tape shouldn't even be on the map.  What's the story?  Someone you don't care about and have never seen before had sex on camera?  That would make her a regular porn star, as far as I'm concerned.  However, if Britney's sex tape is released, that's front page news (bump the US Invades Iran story if you need room).

The novelty of someone semi-recognizable having a sex tape has worn off.  I don't care if the drummer from Warrant or the guy from Perfect Strangers who's not Balky has a sex tape.  Either give me a big name or there's no story.  You hear that, Survivor's Jenna Lewis?
