Carrie Prejean may be hot, but she just isn't worth the hassle.

E! News has confirmed the existence of Ms. Christian Values' X-rated sex tape—which reportedly prompted her abrupt settlement with Miss California Organization officials—but while the contents may be controversial, the peddlers behind the salacious video have had trouble finding any takers.

The tape actually began making the rounds several months ago and was offered as an exclusive to various websites for the bargain-basement price of $10,000.

But even blogger Nik Richie of the porn-purveying TheDirty.com didn't want anything to do with it.

"It was very graphic," Richie tells E! News, "and our lawyers wouldn't let us put it on the site."

No other site picked up the raunchfest, apparently shot by an ex-boyfriend and which Richie describes as far more explicit than the topless photos of Prejean that surfaced earlier.

Which explains why the tape's reemergence this week reportedly took Prejean by surprise.

He who laughs last, laughs best. They who laugh first might get sued.

In what comes as not much of a surprise, Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart have sued Gawker.com for "maliciously" posting that infamous video of the two of them romping nakedly around their home with ad hoc bathing buddy Keri Ann Peniche.

Gawker posted edited footage of the trio in which Gayheart and Peniche's breasts were exposed, but it linked to another site if you wanted to see full-frontal great Dane.

The couple want $1 million in damages and an injunction preventing any further dissemination of the video online.

Gawker publisher Nick Denton tweeted this response Wednesday afternoon: "To quote the great Marty Singer—Eric Dane's lawyer—if you don't want a sex tape on the internet, 'don't make one!' "

With all these celebrity sex tapes (or naked tapes) and leaked private photos, it's pretty much like, yeah, every famous person has some naked footage.

Eventually it will leak onto the Internet, then their rep will freak out. Then blogs will make jokes the next time they see a photo of that celebrity, like "Vanessa Hudgens actually has clothes on."

It's just the way that news cycle goes. Over and over again.

But Megan Fox, whose whole career is based on her hotness and scantily clad photo shoots, swears to MTV News that we can forever count her out of all that nonsense, like sex tapes:

Kari Ann Peniche is not a Hollywood madam. She just plays one in a nude tape writes about them for school papers.

Offering up a strong entry in the annals of so-weird-they-must-be-true (right?) excuses, the clothes-eschewing swimwear designer has shut down speculation—spurred on by both her performance in the Eric Dane sex tape that wasn't as well as documented evidence from the Los Angeles Police Department—that she's experienced in the ways of call girl wrangling.

Instead, Peniche says the reason why her confiscated hard drive contains images of reputed madams is because she once wrote a college paper on the topic of prostitution.

It was an assignment she adamantly claims never turned extracurricular.

Mindy McCready apparently doesn't have very fond memories of her Celebrity Rehab days, considering her roomie was the devil.

At least, that's what the country singer called model Kari Ann Peniche, who's now more famous for getting naked with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart than for any solo success or foible.

"She is evil personified, she is evil in human form. She will hurt anyone she can to make money," McCready told Access Hollywood in denying Peniche's accusation that the troubled songbird was the one who leaked the graphic Dane-Gayheart-Peniche tape.

"I did not want to be dragged into all this," McCready said. "I did not want to be a part of this."

And neither did Peniche, who exclusively told E! News last week she is "not some swinger person or somebody you can pay to have sex with."

Well, I guess we're glad to hear that there isn't any tension between the women in Eric Dane's life. The part of his life that's been steaming up the Internet, anyway.

"Rebecca and I hit it off—she's really funny, she's a really cool girl," Kari Ann Peniche exclusively tells E! News. Peniche being, of course, the third consenting adult in the non-sex tape that debuted this week, featuring her, Dane and his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, chillin' and chattin' in the buff.

"I don't know, we just had a lot of fun," the 25-year-old model and swimwear designer said when asked what the heck was going on between her and the comely star couple.

And in the spirit of just having fun, Peniche firmly denies being the person who delivered the DVD to Los Angeles police, who were informed by an unnamed source that there could be celebrities engaging in illegal activity on the tape.

Eric Dane's naked romp with wife Rebecca Gayheart and third wheel Kari Ann Peniche may have been a "private, consensual moment" according to his attorney.

But according to the police, it could also have been a hotbed of illegal activity.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Thursday to E! News that its Detective Support and Vice division is taking a closer look at the DVD that mysteriously made its way into their possession this week, with an unnamed source saying the video may feature some malfeasance on the celebrities' part.

While the tape features the trio lolling around in bed and sharing a soak in the tub, no one actually has sex (which wasn't illegal last time we checked, anyway).

But Gayheart at one point says that she should lie down because she's "so high," per Gawker, which posted an edited version of the breastfest.

First Jon Gosselin, now Kari Ann Peniche. Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier certainly seems to be surrounding himself with the cream of the crap.

Uh, crop. We meant crop.

Peniche, the clothes-averse costar of Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart, made her way, as all good tabloid targets do, over to Audigier's studios yesterday, and while she left with the impression that she landed herself a design gig, she may be in for a rude awakening when she turns up for orientation at Ed Hardy HQ tomorrow morning.

A source close to Audigier denied reports of any collaboration with Peniche, a budding swimwear designer, saying "those are just rumors."

Now if only we could track down where they first started…oh, that's right.

"I'm gonna be working on a bikini line," Peniche told paparazzi yesterday. "I start on Friday."

Yeah, that's probably what Gosselin thought, too.

Peniche's bikini designs will no doubt be a loss to the fashion community. Oh well! Console yourselves with our Beach Bodies gallery.

Understood: Eric Dane, wife Rebecca Gayheart and Celebrity Rehab's Kari Ann Peniche starred in a nude tape, not a sex tape. And doubly understood: It's infuriating, maddening, maybe even embarrassing to have the univited world let in on your private Tuff Hedeman moment.

But, c'mon, punky! Turn that frown upside down, and, assuming you're still positioned correctly, look on the bright side: A leaked sex tape isn't only not the worst thing that can happen to a celebrity, it's the absolute best thing! (Nude tapes, granted, not so much. But don't mind that now. We're making a point here.)

Kari Ann Peniche is not just the hot mess with a troubled past who made the (temporary) jump from obscurity to infamy faster than you can say "Rick Salomon."

Oh, no. The "quality hang" of Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart is so much more than that.

And so much more than the reality TV-starring, bikini-designing, Playboy-modeling, Aaron Carter-betrothing, sexual abuse- and domestic violence-surviving, Lutheran soccer-playing, high school-cheerleading, drug-recovering, title-losing Miss United States Teen she once was.

Just ask her mother.

"We are disappointed," Lee Ann Peniche tells E! News. "She's 25 years old and she has made some poor choices."

Yikes. If that's coming from her mom, we'd hate to hear what her detractors are saying.

Not that Lee Ann's love is anything but unconditional for her clothes-averse daughter.
