Before I begin this blog i would like you guys to know that I was so deeply affected by this news that it took me over 2 days to decipher whether or not to actually write about such a disturbing event :( Okay so its not like I am naive enough to believe that nobody in hollywood makes sex tapes, becuase basically thats like saying life is about baking cookies, smelling flowers and sighting rainbows, but out of all celebrities did it have to be LEIGHTON MEISTER! WHY GOD?? OH WHYYY???
Now I'm sure everyone is quite immune to the whole "hollywood sex tape" scenarios, but what surpsrises me most about the leaking of this particular tape is that Leighton's career has actually been on the rise follwing the first season of Gossip Girl. Having graced more and more magazine covers, even overtaking the spotlight of her blonde bomshell co-star Blake Lively.
Funnily enough this encounter actually brings a whole new light to her recently released song "Good Girls Go Bad!" featuring US band Cobra Starship.
Keep in mind, I am not suggesting this tape will make her, because quite obviously she has proven to be a talented Actress and Singer who hasnt needed such attention thus far, but it may actually break her! The question is will she be fortunate enough to overcome this disastrous leak? Well all I can say is that it is not impossible, considering the career paths that the likes of Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian lead which have escalated dramatically follwing the leaking of their sextapes.
I would like to leave you guys with one question to consider, some women used to "sleep with the boss" in order to advance in their careers, but it seems that the current trend is sex tapes..well at least its proven to be quite a success in hollywood, but how long do you think it will take before sex tapes circulate the office? Oh thats if they haven't already been leakedd...
Abi xxx (Somehow my usual ex ex ex just does not seem to cut it in regards to this blog considering how triple X rated leighton has gotten on us!)

Very disturbing...not the incident i mean you obsession :P lol
ReplyDeleteDo you think the single could have been a bit of pre-tape PR?
ReplyDeleteIn response to your question about sex tapes in the office; I doubt that they'd circulate in the same way because there isn't the same relationship between 'ordinary people' and 'ordinary people' in an office situation (although Carol did make that tape for Mr Henderson - see Youtube if you're not unfamiliar with my reference); and 'ordinary people' and 'celebrities' in a situation where we may find ourselves gazing upon their dimly lit sex tapes or unpantied, shaven crotches.
I think the notion of 'proximity' is key here in explaining why we don't have the circulation of office sex tapes floating around in abundance. Not only are celebrities more distant but there is a tendency for a little bit of vicarious experience, for us to live by proxy as it were. I don't think that sort of illusion is sustainable in an environment where respect and privacy are a crucial part of professionalism.
Of course, this isn't to suggest that 'ordinary people' and 'ordinary people' don't get a thrill by watching racy/pornographic videos of one another, most typically in online communitites e.g. Stickam, Youporn (although, disappointingly the latter seems to also be a haven for recycled commercial porn), but this kind of sexual expression is something that is kept separate from vocational identities.
That line tends not to be so prominent (or exist at all) for celebrities because of the indinstinction in where their value lies - Is it who they are or what they do that makes them worthy of the limelight?
