By Lauren Frayer - AOL NewsAn Indonesian pop star was sentenced to three and a half years in prison today after sex tapes of him and his celebrity girlfriends went viral online, in a case that's led to a huge crackdown on Internet porn in the world's most populous Muslim country.

By Carl Franzen - Politics DailyAmong the more compelling bits of background information teen mom Bristol Palin reveals about her famous family in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar is the fact neither of her parents, Todd and Sarah Palin, ever gave her the "sex talk." "It's not like we all sat down and were like, 'Alright, here's the birds and the bees,'" Palin told the magazine. "Truly, my parents just assumed that I wasn't doing anything. And it was a shock for us all." Bristol's pregnancy by then-boyfriend Levi Johnston caused a sensation on the presidential campaign trail back in 2008, especially since she was only ...
Rachel Uchitel, Elena Kagan, and Our Double Standard about Sex as Savvy Career Move
By Sarah Wildman - Politics DailyHas it always been this way? For some reason, the career advancement of a serious, intellectual woman -- Elena Kagan, just for instance -- can be jeopardized over mere rumors about a very private life she prefers for whatever reason to keep private. Yet for gals like Michelle McGee or Rachel Uchitel, dicey sexual behavior is a sure-fire career enhancer. Yes, broadcast a sex tape or publish naughty stripper photos and you're on your way; thus are gals who've done nothing more than be blessed with tight abdominals and a proclivity for shaking what God (or a surgeon) gave 'em celebrated with ...

John Edwards Sex Tape with Rielle Hunter Alleged in Andrew Young Book
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyJohn Edwards' former staffer Andrew Young supposedly has a sex tape made by Edwards and Rielle Hunter, according to Gawker. Let's face it, Young has lied before: He previously claimed paternity of Edwards' daughter with Hunter, and if we believe him now, was willing to drive his own life over a cliff to cover up for his boss. But he now insists that he became disillusioned when he discovered the sex tape in 2007...in his friend Hunter's home. (Gee, was it hidden on the coffee table, along with an open box of chocolates?) Doubtless the motivation of a book contract had nothing to do with ...

Let's face it, some of our nominees for 2009 Turkey of the Year wouldn't be welcome at any Thanksgiving dinner. So, with no further ado, let's look at some of the year's most fowl personalities. AP Roguishly Raw: That ring you hear when your 15 minutes of fame are up must be a call from someone asking you to pose nude. Levi Johnston's offer came from Playgirl, and he promised the pictorial would be "tasteful." We now know that Johnston's ...
