Steamy Cameron Diaz Video Surfaces on Web

Diaz's lawyers have sent a cease-and-desist letter to have the tape removed from the web.

A leather fetish video shot in 1992 and reportedly starring Cameron Diaz has found its way to the Internet.

The Russian-based Scandal-Inc. credits the movie to American photographer John Rutter, who has been locked in a Los Angeles Superior Court legal battle with the Shrek 2 actress over her accusations that he tried to blackmail Diaz to keep topless pictures of her off the market.

In that case, Rutter is free on $25,000 bail. He has also filed a $10 million countersuit against Diaz, alleging breach of contract and fraud.

A spokesman for the 31-year-old actress tells the New York Post that her attorneys have sent a cease-and-desist letter to Scandal-Inc., demanding that the tape, which surfaced on the Web on Wednesday, be withdrawn.

The company's lawyer, Ronald Richards, tells the New York Daily News, however, that Rutter "has nothing to do with this Web site." Richards also says that the tape has been around "for 12 years. Someone must have gotten a copy."

Both newspapers – which apparently received copies of the tape – describe the video as showing the star topless, in fishnet stockings, role-playing with a shackled and leather-masked fellow in a loincloth. Diaz reportedly plays with her own breasts and takes care of her captive with the help of a model named Natasha.

"It's not everyday people get to see the biggest female movie star in Hollywood in this type of an exciting role, and boy is she hot!" Losha, the one-name spokesman for Scandal-Inc.com, says in a press release.

It's sleazy how people try to make money off others- Cameron's a nice actress, and good at what she does- the people who made this and are trying to profit from this shouldn't- they should just leave her alone.

If the tape's genuine- it's excuseable. Struggling actors/actresses sometimes find themselves doing anything to make ends meet, and if that's the case- they shouldn't be made feel ashamed later in life at what they did to strive in their careers.

Cameron should just have a "oh so what" attitude, like Madonna did when A Certain Sacrifice, a bargain-basement softcore art-film she did in 1979 came back to haunt her after she became a star.

If anything, Cameron should laugh it off... I mean... sex tapes were the BEST THING TO HAPPEN to Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton's careers.

I hope it's more entertaining than "Charlies Angels Full Throttle."

I'll have to disagree with that, sorry. By that logic, should we then excuse a Doctor who cheated on his exams to become a Doctor, or excuse an ex-drug dealer who amassed his drug-money into a fortune, bought some legitimate companies, and now is considered a top businessman?
I know those are extreme examples, but the principle is the same.

If you're dumb enough to do the crime(especially willingly in front of a camera), you have to do the time.
People need to be held accountable for their own actions. IMO

Yes, but I don't think Madonna ever tried to project herself to the public as anything but a free-wheeling ho. Afterall, the song was Like a virgin, remember?;)

Cameron Diaz on the other hand, has tried to make herself out to be this ditsy-but-sweet-and-innocent-girl-next-door type.

Being in a porn film isn't a crime. And the drug-dealing example doesn't work because even though actors or actresses may do many things to make money- they don't take it dishonestly- and they certainly don't make a lot of money as struggling actors. It's be different if she held up the director and threatened to kill him if she didn't get cast in 'The Mask'.

Yeah- that's why this film could be more damaging to her career. It's not like 'studio system' Hollywood of the'30's now- but actors and actresses still have images.

As for Paris Hilton- she has a career now, but do you think anyone really takes her seriously now?

Did anyone ever take her seriously?
