Celebrity sex tapes that ‘accidentally’ leak? Yeah, right. The people who really do have sex on camera for a living dish on why these tapes are stupid—but inevitable. By Richard Abowitz. In 1855, when Walt Whitman wanted to rejoice in his body beautiful, he wrote “Song of Myself.” A little more than 150 years later, when Farrah Abraham, a marginal celebrity from reality shows, proclaimed a desire to “celebrate” her recently surgically augmented “awesome” body, she did so by making a sex tape with porn star James Deen. In recent years the celebrity sex tape has become a standard way for the fading D-List stars to cash in on a 16th minute. With “Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom," Abraham joined an illustrious group that includes Nadya Suleman (aka Octomom), figure skater Tonya Harding, “Long Island Lolita” Amy Fisher, and WWF star Chyna.
