SCOTT STAPP AND KID ROCK'S SEX TAPE

Adam Graham of The Detroit News has issued the following report:

With the prevalence of video cameras in society and Kid Rock's reputation as a hard-partying lover of the ladies, it was only a matter of time before the "Son of Detroit" singer had a sex tape leaked. And now the inevitable has happened.

Red Light District, the porn peddlers who released the infamous Paris Hilton sex tape in 2004, have obtained a 45-minute video of Kid Rock and ex-CREED singer Scott Stapp engaging in a series of randy tour bus shenanigans with four buxom groupies. Red Light District president David Joseph said Thursday he obtained the tape, supposedly filmed in Miami in 2000, from an anonymous third party a few weeks ago. "It's one of the best celebrity sex tapes I've ever seen," says Joseph. He says the tape "shows you what's going on" in the backstage lives of rock stars.

In a brief, non-explicit clip released on the internet, Rock is seen exchanging polite banter with the ladies ("I'm Bob, nice to meet you," he offers) while Stapp plays the self-obsessed rocker role ("It's good to be the king!" he brags). Joseph says the full tape shows two women engaged in a sexual tryst with Rock. He says he wants to release it on DVD later this year — at a price point of $70-$80 — but first needs to handle some legal issues dealing with rights to the material from the tape's cinematographers, if you will. Joseph hasn't talked to Rock or his representatives. "We've tried, we've called some numbers and we don't know if they were correct or not, but we didn't hear back," he says. "I'm sure we'll be hearing from them soon."

Representatives for Kid Rock were not available for comment.
