Marilyn Monroe SexTape To Be Kept Private






A 15-minute film of Marilyn Monroe engaging in a sex act with an unidentified man will be kept from public view by a New York businessman who has bought it for $1.5 million, the broker of the deal said.

Memorabilia collector Keya Morgan said he recently arranged the sale of the silent, black-and-white film from the son of a deceased FBI informant who owned it, to a wealthy Manhattan businessman who wants to protect Monroe's privacy.

"The gentleman who bought it said out of respect for Marilyn he's not going to make a joke of it and put it on the Internet and try to exploit her," said memorabilia collector Keya Morgan. "That's not his intention and I would never get my name involved if that were to happen."

Monroe is clothed and the man's face remains out of the frame for the entire 15 minutes of the film, said Morgan, who watched it.

Monroe was rumored to have had an affair with former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, and Morgan said former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, a Kennedy rival, went to great lengths to try to prove it was Kennedy in the film.

One of Monroe's ex-husbands, the late baseball great Joe DiMaggio, once tried to buy it from the collector for $25,000 but "he would not part with it," according to FBI files on Monroe.

Lindsay Lohan's Desposition






Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to give a deposition for a negligence lawsuit filed against her earlier this year after crashing her car in October 2005. She is being sued by Raymundo Ortega for crashing her Mercedes-Benz into his red van in Hollywood, after allegedly drinking at celebrity hotspot The Ivy. Lohan's attorneys have been attempting to have plans for Lohan to give evidence on videotape stopped because of fears the footage could later be sold for a large amount of cash to the tabloids. They claimed: "If a single picture of Ms. Lohan can sell for thousands of dollars, a videotape of the deposition will undoubtedly sell for tens of thousands of dollars, or more." Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Stern dismissed their argument and ruled Lohan must give video evidence. Lohan has filed her own counter-suit against Ortega, alleging he and a number of unspecified defendants caused the accident. A trial date has been set for both cases next year.

Heather Mills Wins Case






Photographer Jay Kaycappa has been found guilty of assaulting Heather Mills as he tried to take her picture. Mills told the jury in Brighton Magistrates Court that Kaycappa grabbed her shoulder as he attempted to take her photo in a Brighton, England subway in July 2006. The photographer had denied two charges of common assault. He claimed time codes on the photos taken on the day of the alleged attack did not support Mills' story, giving him just two seconds to run towards her to grab her, before running back to take another image.
