45 Years After Her Death, Marilyn Is A Star All Over Again:

An illicit copy of the steamy, still-FBI-classified reel - 15 minutes of 16mm film footage in which the original blond bombshell performs oral sex on an unidentified man - was just sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million, said Keya Morgan, the well-known memorabilia collector who discovered the film and brokered its purchase.

The footage appears to have been shot in the 1950s. When it came to light in the mid-'60s, then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had his agents spend two weeks futilely trying to prove that Monroe's sex partner was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, according to declassified agency documents and interviews, Morgan said.

The silent black-and-white flick shows Monroe on her knees in front of a man whose face is just out of the shot.

He never moves into the shot, indicating that he knew the camera was there, but Monroe never looks at the lens, said Morgan, who saw the footage.

OK, so the photo above is a bit racy but I think it gets the message across. It's Monday and the last thing I expected to find on the wires was news of a Marilyn Monroe sex tape purchase. Monroe has been dead for 45 years and there have been fakes before but this appears to be legit. You can imagine this will eventually leak on to the Internet and spread faster than One Night in Paris.
