I don't know where the Hilton tape thread went, but I was going to add to it. Not sure why or when it was pulled.... http://www.msnbc.com/news/993449.asp LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 — The man seen having sex with Paris Hilton in a notorious amateur videotape that has surfaced on the Web has filed a $10 million slander lawsuit against the 22-year-old hotel heiress, her parents and her publicist. VIDEO ENTREPRENEUR Rick Solomon claims in his Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit filed on Wednesday that the Hiltons and publicist Sari Garber have sought to portray him as a criminal. He is seeking $10 million in damages. The Hiltons have threatened to sue anyone who releases the tape, which was made when Paris Hilton was 19 and before Solomon, then 30, married actress Shannen Doherty. Garber had no comment on Solomon’s lawsuit. His name is spelled “Salomon” in the court papers. The sex tape, which was made in 2001 when Solomon and Paris Hilton were dating, has become fodder for countless gossip columns and is being offered for sale or viewing on a number of Web sites. “Hilton, her family and at least one of her publicists have ... embarked on a cold, calculated and malicious campaign to portray Salomon as a rapist who took advantage of a sweet and innocent girl who had no idea what happened to her,” the lawsuit says. “Defendants then cleverly hinted to the press that there might be an issue as to whether Hilton was underage, which they obviously could have dismissed with one phone call,” the lawsuit says. Paris Hilton stars in an upcoming Fox reality TV show, “The Simple Life.”

From Salon... __________ How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paris? News and notable quotes from the Paris Hilton sex video scandal circuit: Will the real victim please stand up and put on some clothes?: Martin Singer, a lawyer for Hilton's co-copulating co-star, producer Rick Solomon, who is suing Hilton, her parents and her spokeswoman for slander, on the recent statements to the press "aimed at portraying Solomon as a criminal who took advantage of an incapacitated young woman" and Paris as his unwilling, "out of it" victim: "Hilton repeatedly posed and preened in front of the camera ... [taking] control of the camcorder and film[ing] herself in the bathroom [because] her breasts looked much better [there]." (Rush and Molloy) The better to watch herself with: Paris Hilton on her favorite electronic gear, which also includes the video camera on her Nokia 3650 phonecam: "I want to get a huge, giant, the biggest flat screen you can get." (Wired magazine via Page Six) Cheap thrills: An eBay posting offering clips of the video for sale (mostly for less than $20): "THIS IS THE video everybody has been waiting for!!!! Paris Hilton and Rick Solomon having hot sex in bed ... features Paris enjoying sex in almost every position imaginable! The video was made with a home video (camera), it is absolutely the real thing, guaranteed to be authentic Paris Hilton sex video!" (eBay via Jeannette Walls' Scoop) And now, a word of caution from everyone's favorite sex therapist: Dr. Ruth Westheimer on the Solomon/Hilton video, which, alas, she has yet to see: "Any consenting adults that make a videotape of their sexual encounter for their sexual arousal for another episode, um, I say, 'Have a great time.' But be careful that those tapes remain private in a locked drawer in a place where nobody can get at it, and especially these days make sure that people know that electronics is all around us. Now there are cameras that are so small that unless you undress another person you don't know that they carry that on them."(Boldface Names)
I'm sure it was pulled (if it was) because people were exchanging p*rn through Clutch's website, albeit indirectly.
I didn't pull it-- though I would have-- but I'm sure it was pulled because p*rnography is not permitted in any way, shape, or fashion on this BBS.
