Speidi: What I Really Wanna Do Is Direct ... Porn
Since the Heidi Montag/Spencer Pratt sex tape is never going to see the light of day, a leading porn company is going after the next best thing ... a porn directed by Speidi themselves.
TMZ has obtained a letter sent by Vivid honcho Steven Hirsch, offering the couple the chance to get behind the lens. The idea, it appears, is to have the gruesome twosome helm skin flicks that will draw directly from the couple's own fantasies.
We're told both sides will get together in the near future and discuss the deal, and Spencer is definitely interested ... if the numbers are right.
That's a phrase that applies to almost anything Spencer is offered.

Karissa Shannon -- The Sex Tape Deal Is Done
TMZ has learned ... former Playboy Playmate Karissa Shannon and her BF, "Smallville" actor Sam Jones, have finally agreed to release their sex tape ... and all it took was cold, hard cash -- that's what she said.
Sources close to the couple tell us they both agreed to a deal with Vivid Entertainment when the offer hit the "six-figure range."
Steven Hirsch -- the president of Vivid -- tells us, "We are excited to finally distribute this amazing DVD. Not only is it extremely kinky for a celeb sex tape, Karissa is absolutely beautiful. And as for Sam, let's just say he's no 'Smallville.' This is sure to be one of our all-time best sellers."
Watch your backs, Paris and Kim K -- sounds like you've got a challenger for the title.
On Saturday, Karissa's boyfriend Sam Jones III was spotted entering MyStudio where he told X17 that the meeting with Vivid Entertainment chairman, Steven Hirsch "went good." He said that Karissa was "outta town getting money," and when asked about Karissa's twin, Kristina saying that the sex tape doesn't even exist, Jones just said, "whatever!"

Karissa Shannon & Sam Jones: Boa Couple
Treating herself to a delicious dinner, Karissa Shannon was spotted out to eat at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood last night (September 12).
Joined by her boyfriend Sam Jones III, the Playboy Playmate looked to be upset and sat down on a bench outside the eatery.
The drama all has to do with Ms. Shannon’s sex tape scandal, and she’s been freaking out that her video will be released by Vivid Entertainment.
Jones, whose lawyer has sent a ‘cease and desist’ letter to Vivid, previously told press, "Karissa and I are very upset to find out that Vivid had acquired any footage of us ... our legal team will take every legal action to stop this."

Karissa to Vivid: Hand Over My Sex Tape!
Playboy model Karissa Shannon doesn't want her sex tape to see the light of day ... and she's unleashing her lawyers on Vivid Entertainment to help her out.
We're told attorneys for Karissa and "Smallville" actor Sam Jones III -- her boyfriend/sex tape partner -- have fired off a cease and desist letter to Vivid head honcho Steve Hirsch ... which basically says Hirsch is screwed if he releases the tape.
As we first reported, Hirsch said he acquired the "extremely erotic" tape through a "reputable third party" ... and would "love to be able to release it."
Hirsch told us over the weekend that the Karissa tape is the most "extreme" celebrity sex tape he has has ever seen.
But the public may never get to see it -- TMZ spoke to Sam, who said, "Karissa and I are very upset to find out that Vivid had acquired any footage of us ... our legal team will take every legal action to stop this."

Karissa Shannon Sex Tape Surfaces ... At Vivid
Playmate Karissa Shannon is about to be celebdom's next sex tape debutante -- that is if Vivid Entertainment honcho Steve Hirsch gets to release the homemade XXX flick he calls "extremely erotic."
Hirsch tells TMZ he actually laid eyes on the tape which co-stars Karissa's boyfriend, "Smallville" actor Sam Jones III. Hirsch says it was sent to him from "a reputable third party" and that he'd "love to be able to release it."
The XXX footage in question sounds a lot like the sex tape Karissa claims Spencer Pratt stole from her house -- which, as we first reported, she's threatening to sue him over if he doesn't return it.
Vivid's chief isn't divulging who dropped the tape in his lap, but does say he's "very impressed with the quality and content" -- which sounds like executive speak for ... it's smoking hot!
But before you scour the internet for clips -- we spoke to Jones who said, "I understand that the guy from Vivid saw footage with Karissa and I in it. We have spoken to our legal team and they will be dealing with this ASAP."

Vivid to Spencer -- Show Me the Sex Tape!
The Heidi Montag sex tape has thus far been all talk from Spencer Pratt -- and now the president of Vivid Entertainment wants the tape in hand.
Steven Hirsch tells TMZ he isn't going to down to Costa Rica to meet with Spencer and Heidi about the sex tape -- until they coughs up a preview. Specifically, Hirsch says he wants to see at least 30 seconds of whatever it is they have.
As we first reported, the Pratts are asking for at least $5,000,000 for their library of footage. Hirsch says he asked Pratt to send him some kind of preview because he doesn't want to be part of any publicity stunt. So far, he hasn't seen a frame.
Looks like we'll find out soon if Spencer is bluffing ... or if he really has Heidi's pair.

Inside Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt's Scam
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag continue the spectacle that is their relationship and Radar Online has exclusive details from inside their publicity-driven scam.
From the video of Spencer and Heidi Montag in Costa Rica, to Spencer shopping a sex tape of Heidi, to Heidi sobbing hysterically over the sex tape she doesn’t want released, there is plenty of plot to their story line.
The thing is, it’s all a scam.
First Lie: Spencer is blackmailing Heidi so he can release a sex tape of her.
Multiple legal experts have confirmed to Radar Online that all parties involved in a sex tape MUST consent to the release or else it is a slam-dunk lawsuit for the party that didn’t consent. If the tape is released, the party who hasn’t agreed can sue for invasion of privacy and a host of other legal issues. And they are nearly guaranteed of a huge court victory.
That’s the dirty little secret with celebrity sex tapes – the celebrity has to agree to its release and they always profit off the sales. Paris Hilton still gets a cut of her tape’s profits as does Kendra Wilkinson. Kim Kardashian settled for $5 million after dropping her lawsuit.
So without Heidi’s consent Spencer can’t release the tapes.
Second Lie: Heidi and Spencer have been staying apart.
As Radar Online exclusively reported, Heidi, Spencer and Cougar Zank have been living in the same house in Malibu all summer. Also, the separation and then divorce papers that Heidi filed didn’t even have the same wedding date on them.
Third Lie: Heidi is hiding out because she wanted to stay out of the limelight to focus on other things, like her movie career.
Radar Online has learned exclusively that the reason Heidi has been hidden in the past months is because she has been advised that photos sales of her would garner more income if the market wasn’t saturated with images of her.
Radar Online has also learned that there will soon be a barrage of Heidi photos to capitalize on the current attention focused on her and Spencer as their relationship dramas take another turn.

Hirsch To Go To Costa Rica To Talk W/ Speidi

The quest for the Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt sex tape continues.
Steven Hirsch, the president of Vivid Entertainment, confirms to X17online that he will be traveling to Costa Rica for a meeting with Spencer to discuss financial for distribution of the tape.
Spencer has joked about the tape through several Twitter messages.


- "The potential for the Heidi tape would be through the roof... We bring them out to the marketplace, but after that it's up to the star and the things that they do after the tape is released that really tells the story just how well they do."
Karissa Shannon, a former Playboy playmate, has confirmed to X17online that a raunchy tape does exist featuring she and Heidi Montag, but Shannon doubts Spencer has it. Various online reports claim that Spencer has thrown out $5 million as a potential offer for the XXX material he currently possesses. Question is ... would you want to watch?

Heidi & Spencer: We're in Costa Rica Together
Although Spencer Pratt signed divorce documents in his split from Heidi Montag less than two weeks ago, the duo continue to stir up drama.
Pratt says he's shopping a sex tape of Montag with another woman and also writing a relationship tell-all. Plus, the two have been sparring on Twitter.
But Sunday, they were spotted by TMZ.com together in Costa Rica where they are still spending time.
"I had to bring the puppies down and help them move in," Pratt tells PEOPLE. "[Heidi] thought I was going to leave, but I'm not. I didn't want to get divorced … I have nothing in Malibu, I'm homeless, I'm nothing without her."
Montag admits she agreed to have Pratt join her in Costa Rica. "Everything was calm and going smoothly with the divorce," she says. "We were really getting along and it was amazing he was being so thoughtful to help me move. Then things turned."
By things turning, Montag is referring to the supposed deal Pratt is working on with Vivid Entertainment to sell a sex tape. "Spencer is trying to drum up press. This is exactly why I wanted to divorce him in the first place."
But Pratt insists such a tape does exist. "I told Heidi … if you don't want to do the new reality show with me, then I'll have to release old footage," he says. "I can get $5 million from a sex tape, but I really don't want to do that. It's not the way I want things to be. Heidi is furious with me but I need to look out for myself."
As for the future, "I'm going to leave the hotel and get a house because Spencer won’t leave me alone and won't go back to Malibu right now," Montag says. "It's just too hard. I still love him, but I can't stand what he's doing."

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt: Twitter Feud
Soon-to-be former spouses Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt feuded over Twitter on Saturday as rumors grow about an alleged sex tape.
Pratt, 26, told Us Magazine Friday that he is peddling an explicit video starring Montag, 23, who filed for divorce last month. (Porn impresario Steve Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment confirmed that he is speaking with Pratt about the flick.)
"Promises you the Citizen Kane of sex tapes. Honestly, Orson Wells makes a guest appearance," Pratt teased on Twitter on Saturday. "Recommends you wait for the Special Edition Sex Tape. Blu-Ray, director's commentary, and bloopers!"
Montag, who hinted Friday she was "crying" over the scandal, finally shot back at her estranged hubby, Tweeting, "F U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Pratt's reply: "Seriously? You're going to start shit on twitter?"
Earlier in the day, Montag was feeling more peaceful. "I want to live without fear," she wrote. "Life is short follow your dreams and spirit...Live like there is no tomorrow"

Spencer: The Heidi Sex Tape Asking Price Is ...
Sources tell TMZ ... Spencer Pratt has a price in mind for the Heidi Montag sex tape -- $5,000,000!!!
As we first reported, Spencer is shopping the tape to porn powerhouse Steven Hirsch at Vivid Entertainment. Sources close to the deal tell TMZ they have heard Spencer's asking price and that Vivid doesn't think the figure is "an unreasonable price."
For his part, Spencer tells TMZ that he has an "entire website's" worth of footage, saying, "I will knock Club Jenna out of the water."
Spencer went on to say he thinks releasing the tapes will be good for Heidi, saying, "When I realized how much Kim [Kardashian] was making, my logic is this is the best thing I can do for my ex-wife. Kim is on the cover of Allure right now. Heidi isn’t on the cover of Allure."

Spencer Excited To Share His Heidi Sex Tape
Speidi: Rated XXX?
Spencer Pratt is hawking a supposed sex tape starring soon-to-be ex wife Heidi Montag, he confirms to Us Magazine.
"I've been making films since I was in the 7th grade," Pratt tells Us exclusively. "I'm looking forward to people seeing my directorial debut!"
Steve Hirsch, co-CEO of ubiquitous porn company Vivid Entertainment, told TMZ that he spoke with Pratt Friday about the explicit video, noting "We are in early negotiations to possibly come to terms for a deal."
It's a busy time of wheeling and dealing for Pratt.
On Thursday, the reality villain told Us Magazine that he is writing a tell-all book about his relationship with Montag.
"My last book, How to be Famous, didn't make the New York Times best-seller list because it was in the self-help section," Pratt told Us. "This one is going to be totally different. I'm not holding anything back."
Montag, 23, subsequently told TMZ that she might sue to stop the book. She filed for divorce in July after about 15 months of marriage. Barring any reconciliations, their divorce will be finalized on Valentine's Day of next year.
