Celebrity News:

Could the recently-discovered 15-minute "sex tape" starring Hollywood sex siren Marilyn Monroe be a hoax?

News reports have just surfaced which bring the validity of the salacious tape into question, as well as the reputation of the man who discovered the long-forgotten footage.

Publicity stunt?

The sex tape, which reportedly shows the Some Like It Hot bombshell performing oral sex on an unidentified man, was sold to a New York businessman earlier this month for a whopping US$1.5 million.

Speculation has been rife that the unidentified male sharing the footage with Monroe may have been either John F. Kennedy or his brother Bobby.

The truth is, we'll never know.

Aside from the fact that the collector who bought the tape says he plans to keep it "locked up", the face of the man on the receiving end Monroe's "advances" is out of shot.

But now website defamer is questioning the existence of the tape, citing that not enough evidence exists to validate that the sale of the footage took place.

Furthermore, the website claims that Keya Morgan, the memorabilia collector who came across the footage, has a history of twisting the truth to promote his own work.

Defamer says Morgan has refused to disclose the names of either the buyer or seller of the reel, and goes on to describe Morgan as a "press hungry namedropper whose main objective is to promote himself and the Monroe documentary that he is working on".

In the article for the gossip website, a Monroe expert claims: "What Keya Morgan is promoting equates to questionable stories generated simply to sell another book or push another cheesy documentary.

"At the time of our conversation with him, we immediately discerned that he was one of them only out to exploit Marilyn Monroe and to come up with something new to fuel the rumour mill of her life.

"Keya Morgan's time in the spotlight for this recent spin is nothing more than an opportunity for him to do just that - soak up some extra time in the limelight with his invented story about a fake flick, at the expense of the legacy of Marilyn Monroe."

In the same article, the writers allege that Morgan claims he has dated none other than Mariah Carey and Renee Zellweger.

"In general Mr. Morgan was a name dropper, especially when it came to those notorious for supporting the conspiracy theories involved with the story of Marilyn Monroe. However, he wove into our conversation his claim that he dated Mariah Carey and Renee Zellweger."

Update: Turns out that Morgan was none too happy about defamer's news article, and he's unleashed his lawyers as a result.

Despite the legal intervention, the website stands by the initial news story.

Stay tuned for updates.

Silly sue

Hollyscoop.com is reporting that Diiirty singer Christina Aguilera is being sued for fraud by a bloke who, well, seems to be one sandwich short of a picnic.

The website says that Michael Dunlap is suing Christina for loss of property, loss of earning capacity and other damages including "humility, harassment, lies, and slander".

Blimey, sounds like she's been a very naughty girl.

But there&'s more...

Dunlap also claims he is Aguilera's father.

He says he has a brood of 26 children, all conceived through in-vitro, including Aguilera, Hayden Panettiere and Matthew Broderick.

My, he has been busy. You might want to break the news gently to your progeny, Dunlap.

Finding out you have two fathers is a bit much in one sitting.

Hilton's woes

Omnipresent Paris Hilton has revealed that a deluded fan once stole her cat.

"I've had some major stalkers," she says. "One stole my cat [so he could] give it back."

Hilton also says she hates it when people pretend not to recognise her.

"Men will come up to me and try and be cool," she says.

"They'll be like: 'Hi, what's your name?' I'm like: 'I'm Deborah.' And they keep talking to me, pretending that they don't know who I am."

Yeah, and I'm like, what we have here is a serious failure to give a s***!
