JIMI HENDRIX SEX TAP UNEARTHEDA 40-year-old sex tape featuring guitar great
Jimi Hendrix has been unearthed by a rock memorabilia collector.
The unnamed collector has passed the saucy footage, which features a headbanded Hendrix frolicking with two brunettes, to the bosses of porn video giant Vivid Entertainment, who are set to release the film on DVD.
Vivid officials went to infamous rock groupie Cynthia Plaster Caster (!), who once set Jimi's penis in a plaster mold, to make sure that the guy in the sex film was the late rock icon.
She says, "No doubt about it... That's Jimi Hendrix's d**k, and I should know."
The groupie actually compares her Hendrix mold to the penis in the sex tape as part of the film.
Cynthia and another famous groupie, Pamela Des Barres provide commentary on the new DVD,
Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape. Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch is convinced the new film will be a hit: "This new movie shows that Jimi Hendrix could have been as great a porn star as
he was a rock star. He could clearly play more than just his guitar."

MADONNA SHOCKED BY SEX ACTPop superstar
Madonna was left shocked and appalled by a bizarre sex ritual which young widows in Malawi have to go through after their husbands die - because it fuels the spread of AIDS in the country.
In her new documentary
I Am Because We Are, Madonna chronicles the plight of the people in the African nation, where she adopted her son David in 2006, and
she admits some local customs left her feeling sick.
In one segment of the harrowing new film, the star reveals a young widow is forced to have sex three times with a stranger from outside her village as part of a cleansing ritual.
She says, "When this woman's husband dies of AIDS, she is required by the village head tribal chief to go through this sexual cleansing.
"Until she does, basically the village is, like, at a standstill. And, if she refuses to do it, she will be ostracised by everyone."

Carrie Fisher insists she considered having an affair while filming the iconic
Star Wars movies with co-star
Harrison Ford.
The pair are long rumoured to have been romantically involved while shooting the classic movies - something they have both denied.
But Fisher has now revealed she had always dreamt of having a secret fling on set.
She says, "I went on the film saying, 'I'm going to have an affair', like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit - because I had never had one."
And the 51-year-old admits she was impressed by Ford's good looks. She adds, "I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he's had a few drinks."
WILL FERRELL URGED TO STOP WORKING WITH ANIMALSFunnyman
Will Ferrell has been urged to stop working with animals after his bear co-star in basketball comedy
Semi-Pro attacked and killed a trainer in
California last week.
Activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) originally sent the star a letter in February, after they were alerted to the fact that Ferrell's new film was to feature a grizzly bear.
The actor actually appears to wrestle the bear, Rocky, which fatally bit a trainer in Big Bear, California.
In the missive, they warned Ferrell of both the dangers of working with wild animals on a film set how many of these film 'stars' are cruelly treated.
But the PETA letter, sent to his agents, was ignored. Now Ferrell is the target of a new PETA campaign.
A spokesman says, "It's pretty rare that people catch a glimpse of the way the animals they see in TV shows or movies are really treated... They're often beaten to perform.
"We're hoping that this incident, sad as it is, will encourage Hollywood actors to take a stand against performing with animals, who want to be movie stars about as much as they want to be stuck in a cage for the rest of their lives.
"We're asking Will Ferrell to pledge never to act with wild animals again."
In the new letter that went out to Ferrell a day after the tragedy hit the headlines last Tuesday, PETA writes, "We know you to be a compassionate person, and we are hoping that this deadly incident will make you have a change of heart about acting with animals in the future."
PETA regular Pamela Anderson is already a fervent campaigner when it comes to keeping animals out of movies - she recently refused to take part in a dog scene that had to be cut from her last film,
Superhero Movie, because she refused to act with a trained Labrador.
