Cameron Diaz, topless -- $40
HOLLYWOOD, July 9 (UPI) -- A Russian Web site is selling a 30-minute video of a topless Cameron Diaz in a sado-masochistic drama she made 12 years ago.
Scandal-Inc.com is selling the video for $40, Celebrity Justice reported Friday.
It shows a topless 19-year-old Diaz in fishnet stockings and leather straps subjugating a chained male "slave."
The film was shot by John Rutter, against whom Diaz has been locked in a legal battle over the video.
Prosecutors charged Rutter with trying to extort more than $3 million from Diaz to keep the images under wraps. A judge ordered they be placed in a safety deposit box until the dispute got settled.
Prosecutors ended up dropping the extortion charge against Rutter, but still allege the photographer forged Cameron's signature on a release.
Scandal-Inc says it bought the rights to the footage sometime last year.
Rutter is set to stand trial July 21 for attempted grand theft, forgery and perjury -- all charges relating to his battle with Diaz over the photos and video.
He, in turn, has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Diaz, claiming fraud and breach of contract.
Roy reunites with tiger that attacked him
LAS VEGAS, July 9 (UPI) -- Illusionist Roy Horn, who was critically mauled on a Las Vegas stage nine months ago, has been reunited with Montecore, the tiger that attacked him.
Horn, who has amazed doctors by regaining his speech and ability to write, wept as he saw Montecore at Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden at the Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas, World Entertainment News Network said Friday.
The reunion was part of a TV documentary on Horn's recovery, which will be aired on the first anniversary of the mauling that left Horn clinically dead for a minute.
The late Conway Twitty sings on new single
NASHVILLE, July 9 (UPI) -- Nashville, Tenn., producers used technology to piece together snippets of the late Conway Twitty's voice for a new radio single, it was reported Friday.
Twitty, a top country music hit maker who died in 1993, can be heard on a duet with country artist Anita Cochran, "(I Wanna) Hear A Cheatin' Song," which Cochran wrote in 2002, The Tennessean said.
To bring Twitty back in the studio, Cochran and her co-producers, searched through recordings Twitty made from 1982 to 1987, clipping and pasting words and syllables together in a computer-assisted process that created the illusion that Twitty was singing along to Cochran's song.
Twitty's widow, Dee Jenkins, approved the project and is pleased with the outcome.
"I know Conway would be flattered," she said.
Not everyone thinks the computer-generated idea is a good one.
"Taking a word, tuning it and placing it like that, I think it's really, really, really wrong. I love Conway, but I think he's got plenty of legacy for people to remember him by," said country artist Vince Gill.
