Maybe her 15 minutes of fame aren't up yet. Carrie Prejean's sex tape is the hot ticket of the adult world at the moment. And Vivid, one of XXX's leading companies, is making Prejean an offer she will probably refuse.
Vivid announced Friday that they obtained a copy of the solo video and would like to distribute it.
"We've now seen the footage that has been so much in the news lately, we've reviewed it and we are ready to negotiate with Carrie," Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch said.
"The footage we saw is a series of very graphic and hot clips. Let's just say that she appears to be totally enthusiastic and is thoroughly enjoying herself. Carrie says the tape was `The biggest mistake of my life.' That may be, but she can take this mistake and turn it into cold, hard cash."
Hirsch said the third party that brought the tape to Vivid affirmed that Prejean was over 18 year old when she made the tape. She insisted she was 17 and made the tape for a boyfriend.
If Vivid acquires the rights to the the tape, it would be distributed under the Vivid-Celeb imprint, which has distributed tapes with Shauna Sand, Kim Kardashian and Ray J, Jimi Hendrix, Vince Neil and others, Hirsch said.
"I'm convinced more than ever that this could be our best-selling Vivid-
Celeb tape," Hirsch said.
Prejean has acknowledged making the sex tape. The entertainment Web site
RadarOnline.com reported Friday there are actually eight sex tapes involving Prejean.
Vivid, which describes itself as "the world's leading adult film studio," offered Prejean $1 million in May to star in a pornographic movie, an offer it repeated this past Wednesday.
Prejean, 22, formerly of San Diego, initially drew national attention for responding to an interview question at the Miss USA Pageant by saying she
was against same-sex marriage because of her religious beliefs. That answer, she said, caused her to finish in second.
She quickly became a conservative spokeswoman for family values, even as revealing photos of her surfaced, and she was eventually stripped of her Miss
California USA title for not showing up at pageant events.
Prejean sued the pageant and its officials, claiming her crown was taken away because of her religious beliefs.
The pageant countersued Prejean in October, asking to be reimbursed for breast implants they purchased for her.
The two sides settled after pageant officials reportedly showed Prejean -- and
her mother -- a copy of the sex tape, according to TMZ.com.
