Rob Lowe's straight-to-video sex scandal

Proving that even scandals that began and ended pre-Internet will never truly die, Fleshbot unearthed and uploaded these old school, pre-YouTube sex tapes of Rob Lowe getting it on in Betamax.

Egged on by another fully nude guy identified by Wiki as Justin Morris, Rob (aka Sodapop, Billy Hicks or Sam Seaborn) can be blurrily seen enjoying all that a young model named Jennifer has to offer.

Maybe it's because this is the lesser of two infamous sex tape scandals Lowe faced within a matter of months -- the other more headline-ready, what with a 16-year-old participant and the Democratic National Convention as backdrop -- but I'd never caught the fact that this other menage was one-third male two-thirds male (math is hard!).

(If you can't tell by the words "sex tape" that this isn't exactly safe to be watching at work, you probably deserve to get fired.)

Cameron Diaz Likes Sex, a Lot

So here's the deal, Cameron Diaz is a big old sex freak. She's gotta have it, morning, noon and night. Or something like that. According to MSNBC, Diaz says sex is the best stress reliever, and, well pretty much the best cure for everything.

Sex is the most amazing stress reliever. I actually think it's the best thing for everything! I think it should be 100 percent part of everyone's life on a day-to-day basis. We'd all be a lot happier!

You know what, I have nothing negative to say here. Yeah, I could say Cameron's slutty, but that would just be a close-minded, puritan view. Besides, she appears to be pretty faithful in her relationship with Justin Timberlake, so you can't really fault her on that. So, yeah, hot chick with a healthy outlook on sex. Nothing wrong with that.

ROSEANNE'S STAR-MANGLED NATIONAL ANTHEM

When Roseanne Barr took the mound at San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium to sing the national anthem on July 25, 1990, nobody expected an aria. But they weren't prepared for the 55-second caterwaul she unleashed, either. And they definitely didn't anticipate her final flourish, in which she grabbed her crotch and spit. The mockery left the audience in jeers, and even President Bush (the elder) called the performance ''disgraceful.'' Barr apologized, but remained defiant. ''The whole thing is a huge statement on America. The reaction more than the act,'' she later said.

CAREER IMPACT: POSITIVE That fall, Barr's landmark ABC sitcom returned for a third Emmy-nominated season, bolder and better than ever.

ROSIE QUITS THE VIEW

O'Donnell's reign over The View ended exactly the way it should have: in a split-screen shout-off with conservative cohost Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The impassioned, uncomfortable, please-go-to-commercial-now tiff embodied everything that made O'Donnell's stay on the chatfest so riveting. For nine ratings-boosting months, the former Queen of Nice unveiled a new TV persona — now with 50 percent more liberal outrage! She feuded with The Donald, criticized national institutions from the White House to American Idol, openly discussed her gay marriage, and even held a hungover Danny DeVito on her lap.

CAREER IMPACT: POSITIVE After the blowup, O'Donnell — who had already given notice — quit three weeks early. The ongoing and intense speculation over her next move demonstrates that even an angry Rosie is an in-demand Rosie.

COURTNEY LOVE'S BABY SHOCKER

Choosing a favorite Courtney Love scandal moment is kind of like picking your favorite Beatles record: So...many... choices! Must...stay...focused! But there is one moment Love-ologists find universally shocking. After a 1992 Vanity Fair article suggested she was knowingly using heroin while pregnant, Love denied it, insisting that she sought medical help and quit as soon as she found out. Three years later, she told Barbara Walters she only used in the first month of pregnancy.

CAREER IMPACT: MINOR On April 12, 1994 — four days after her husband, Kurt Cobain, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound — Love's band Hole released their most successful album to date, Live Through This. Today, Frances Bean is a healthy 15-year-old, but her mom (who hasn't released a new album since 2004) gets more attention for her yo-yo-ing weight than her music career.

Luciano Pavarotti has died

The legendary Luciano Pavarotti passed away on September 6, 5 am, at home in Modena, Italy. The opera tenor singer had pancreatic cancer since July 2006. After a surgical operation, he was reported to be in the mend but retired from making public appearances. Pavarotti took a turn for the worst when he was admitted into hospital this summer. There were press releases to forewarn the public of the imminient fatality of his illness.
Pavarotti was a pioneer in innovations. He successfully staged concerts with contemporary rockers like Elton John, Sting and Bono in the 1990s. He was one of the few singers who really took care of his vocal cords and they served him well into his advanced middle age. To the “King of the High Cs” - bon voyage.
Luciano Pavarotti (October 12, 1935 – September 6, 2007) was an Italian tenor and one of the most popular contemporary vocal performers in the world of opera and across multiple musical genres. Known for his televised concerts, and as one of the Three Tenors, Pavarotti was also noted for his award-winning charity work for raising money on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross.

ROB LOWE: SEX-TAPE PIONEER

During the 1988 Democratic convention in Atlanta, Rob Lowe picked up two gals (ages 22 and 16) at a club, invited them back to his hotel, and videotaped the romp. Naturally, the home movie leaked out — and grainy footage of the Brat Packer in action made the tabloid-TV rounds. The underage girl's mom sued Lowe, but it was settled out of court, and no charges were filed. (He agreed to perform 20 hours of community service.)

CAREER IMPACT: MINOR After a brief rehab stint for alcohol addiction in 1990, the star went on to wink at the incident in his work, including the 1999 West Wing pilot — in which his character, a presidential aide, unwittingly sleeps with a hooker. As Lowe noted in 2000, ''At the height of my downfall, I was still making a million bucks a picture.''
