Creed, Rock, Groupie - this ain't yo mama's Candid Camera
Just what Scott Stapp needs these days--some, um, good publicity.
By Josh Grossberg
The former Creed crooner and his Cocky-espousing pal Kid Rock are the latest celebs to find their sexploits immortalized on video.
On Thursday, just five days after the supposedly sobered-up Stapp got busted for public drunkenness on his way to his honeymoon, the online porn purveyor responsible for Paris Hilton's infamous One Night in Paris began previewing footage of the two musicians engaged in sex acts with various women.
The California-based Red Light District has uploaded a 40-second clip at KidRockSexTape.com and ScottStappSexTape.com showing Rock and Stapp tag-teaming for a 45-minute lovefest with several groupies. Although recorded back in 1999, when Rock and Creed were on the road together, the tape only surfaced recently, according to Red Light's president, David Joseph.
The tape came from a "third party," says Joseph and its release has not been sanctioned by either Stapp or Kid Rock. Joseph says he convinced the unnamed seller not to release the video for free on the Internet.
Reps for both musicians did not immediately respond to calls seeking comment, so it's not known whether they will endorse the sale of the video in exchange for a percentage of profits, as Hilton and Rock's ex Pamela Anderson (with her former hubby, Tommy Lee) eventually did with their sex tapes, or whether they will sue to block its release, as was the case with Colin Farrell.
Joseph--who has also released One Night in China starring former pro wrestler and Surreal Life star Joanie "Chyna Doll" Laurer, and oversees the iPod-ready iPorn.com--claims to have tried to reach both rock stars, but had no success. He says because the footage was apparently shot by different people, he doesn't necessarily need Stapp or Kid Rock's cooperation to release the tape. Of course, their lawyers haven't weighed in yet.
While the rockers don't cross swords, the sneak peek online shows them talking to one another (Stapp borrows a line from History of the World, Part I, telling Rock, "It's good to be the king") as they engage with women on a tour bus.
Of course, both rockers could use a little career Viagra at this point and the sex tape might prove to be the trick (after all, scandalous candid-camera moments certainly worked wonders for Anderson and Hilton). Kid Rock's sales have been flaccid of late, with his 2003 self-titled release failing to generate much heat on the charts. Besides, the Detroit artist's has a new live disc, Live Trucker, hitting stores later this month.
Likewise, since going solo in the wake of Creed's breakup, Stapp hasn't moved many copies of his 2004 album, The Great Divide. And he begins a tour later this month.
Then again, now that Stapp is a week into his marriage with former Miss New York Jaclyn Nesheiwat, he might not want his previous liaisons going public. And while the beauty queen hasn't commented on the sex tape, we're guessing that, as director of public affairs for the Scott Stapp Foundation, which promotes healthy parent-child relationships, she's not exactly tickled.
