I really don’t have much to say about the Eric Dane, Rebecca Gayheart, Kari Anne Peniche sex tape that surfaced earlier this week. Except, you know, stars! They have threeways! Just like us!

But surely Dane and Gayheart—who are married—could’ve found a better third than the 25-year-old former Miss Teen USA 2002 and current/rumored/alleged madam, Kari Anne Peniche. But… hey, the heart wants what it wants and sometimes the heart wants—sometimes sweethearts want—to have threeways with scumbags. And while Dane recently told Ellen Degeneres that he and Gayheart are trying to start a family—they’re “working on” a baby, McSteamy told McLesbian—Dane never said that he and Gayheart were going to be alone while they worked on that baby. Some couples wanna have families and the occasional threeway. Ahem.

And I want to second what Fleshbot said:

Pretty much everyone who’s ever owned a digital camera (or webcam) has, at one point or another, taken naked pictures or video of themselves…. Will we ever get to a point where we can just admit that this is normal? That it’s not shocking to learn that a celebrity made a sex tape…because we’ve all made a sex tape?

What disturbs me most about this sex tape, though, is the smoking. Ugh. Parents—even wannabe parents—shouldn’t smoke. Threeways now and then? Sure. Cigarettes? Never, ever.

UPDATE: Just re-read this post and it reads like I’m suggesting that Kari Anne Peniche is a scumbag because she’s allegedly done/does sex work. Not my intent, some of my best friends do/have done sex work, etc. My low opinion of Peniche was informed by these details in Gawker’s write-up…

Peniche, 25, probably had a similar future in mind when she was crowned Miss Teen USA in 2002, but it wasn’t to be. She was stripped of her crown for posing in Playboy (NSFW link). Peniche tried to leverage the controversy into a career, and knocked around on the Hollywood Z-list for a while. She got engaged to Backstreet Boy Nick Aaron Carter for a minute. There were a handful of TV and film roles, but lately, a source in Hollywood tells us, she’s ended up working as a madam, working the Hollywood club scene as “Tristan Bailey.” … Recently she was thrown off Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab (where she was being treated for sex addiction) amidst back-and-forth accusations that she punched out a cameraman, entertained unsavory drug dealer types at the Sun Valley sober house, and stole money and personal belongings from her roommate, country singer Mindy McCready. As of late July, the Hollywood vice squad got a hold of Peniche’s client list and the above video, which Peniche herself had been showing around to friends.

Doing sex work? Not necessarily scummy. Punching out cameramen, stealing from housemates, showing off a sex tape without the consent of the other folks in it? Definitely scummy.

  8. Before digital cams people took naked Polaroids of themselves. As was the case then there were people who tried to pathologize this innocent activity. These days ersatz social workers would say it is a “sexual addiction” and steer people to a therapist or 12 step group.
    It is perfectly harmless and people should feel we have license to do this. This is another activity that should be free of social control freaks.

  12. The homeless guys next to the I-5 ramp at N 45th were commenting this morning that nobody seems to smoke anymore.

    That said, I can see taking nude pix of your gf, but why would you take nude pix of yourself?

  14. They don’t have babies, and if they did, smoking in rooms the kids were barely ever in would have no effect on them. And if you watched the video and came across most fearful about their parenting skills because they smoke, you probably didn’t realize they were all high as fuck on drugs stronger then pot.

  15. Also from The Straight Dope some second thoughts about the danger of second hand smoke:

    http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read…

    Not a smoker or advocate of smoking, but we should go by the evidence and facts and not act as if the ends (stopping smoking) justifies the means (lying about it) I won’t be suprised if some anti smoking zealot were to claim that just hearing the word cigarette can cause cancer.

  16. Cigarettes never ever?

    What’s wrong with moderation? Can’t someone have a cigarette on a Friday evening or something?

    Some couples wanna have families, and the occasional threeway, and the occasional cigarette.

    Threeways now and then, and cigarettes now and then.

  19. The cigarette consumption on Mad Men is verisimilitude – get used to it. By now my sisters and I should all be dead from second-hand smoke – dad smoked in the house, in the car, in the bathroom, in the restaurant. Everyone who had lungs in the ’60s smoked; as a host, you had 13 ashtrays in your home for residents and guests. You never asked if you could smoke in someone’s home – you just lit up. People smoked in elevators, movie houses and the office space.

    The anti-smoking campaign proves that re-education (and attack vilification) is effective, but also – in the main – turns whores into reformed whores. Besides after sex – or in the case of the Amish, sects – what else is there to do? Based on the number of dedicated pot smokers I know – how is their habit different/more disgusting from ordinary toking – or are potheads the newest closet residents? FWIW – I quit smoking years ago, but could still have one (or two) if I wished – especially after sex with Danes.

  21. Neglected to mention, my dad did not die from lung cancer; his wife outlived him (he who had infused her entire atmosphere with carcinogenic smoke for 50 years) by 25 years and died of old age – which is not a pre-existing condition.

  22. it’s not a sex tape…it’s a hangin’ out nekkid and gettin’ high tape…at best, you see Eric Dane with a not too shabby Hollywood loaf but it’s pretty obvious they’re too fucked up for sex…that, or part two is floating around out there somewhere…

    and is being a trashy ex-beauty queen better than being a child-killing, untalented actress? or, douchebag actor on a primetime piece of shit soap opera like grey’s anatomy?

  24. 12: why would you take nude pix of yourself? Uh, for your manhunt profile, duh!

    Also, 17 FTW!

    Finally, if I’m having a threeway with a former miss teen usa (within 10 years of her crown), I couldn’t care less about how many cameramen she’s punched or what she stole from a washed up cunt-ry singer.

  26. @ #20 Thanks for the update. I think this shows that skeptics are not dogmatic and that when new information becomes available it is acknowledged and new opinions are formed. Skepticism is the opposite of dogmatism.

  27. #22 – Rebecca Gayheart killed a child??? Is that what you’re implying? When? I’m genuinely curious. The only thing I know about her is she used to be a ringlet-haired cutie who did some kind of acne medication commercials. Right? Or maybe it was soap.

    #19 – Pot smokers are much less disgusting because: a) they generally don’t do it in public and subject the rest of us to their smoke; b) pot smells much better than tobacco; and c) most importantly, they don’t throw their goddamn cigarette butts anywhere they fucking feel like it. Goddamn that makes me angry!

  28. @27 That just made me have a funny thought…..what if cigarette smokers used their tobacco to make tobacco brownies for their nicotine fix….i cant think of anything more disgusting…haha

  29. Every single promiscuous, kinky, fetishy, polyamourous, or other sexually non-traditional hetero woman I have ever known smoked. Every. Single. One.

    Where are these mythical creatures, “The Non-Smoking Kinky Woman”? Are they a big-city thing? Because around here I would have a better chance of fucking a mermaid.

  32. smoking = bad for your children.

    bringing strangers into your home or lives to fuck with, potentially and often destabilizing the relationship of their parents = good.

    you are so cocky and myopic on this topic it hurts
