How Kim Kardashian made $4.5million from her sex tape

Kim Kardashian enlisted the help of porn baron Joe Francis to net her $4.5million when her sex tape was released.The tape was shot with her then boyfriend Ray J in 2003, but turned the leak into a triumph rather than a disaster when it was released four years later.
The Sun says a new biography by Sean Smith claims:

'Until she called in close pal Joe to advise her, all she wanted to do was make the tape go away.She soon realised that suing the company was not going to help make the video disappear, so Joe helped to arrange a meeting with his friend Steve Hirsch, the boss of Vivid and Ray J. 'Kim and Ray J received around $300k each for the tape and they would also receive a cut from the videos sold or downloaded. Kim duly dropped her lawsuit against Vivid.'

While Vivid was making $1185 a month from online sales, at one point, according to TMZ, Ray J made $90k in one three month period while Kim made $50k in one month alone.

Most notably, the video catapulted Kim to fame, with her net worth said to be a huge $85million.

Her Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality show has proved to be very successful, netting the family a cool $100million dollars for the next four years of the programme.

Kim is said to be taking home $15million of that amount, adding a $5million bonus should her rapper husband Kanye West also make an appearance.

Justin Bieber reveals the intensity of his love for Selena Gomez led to breakup

Justin Bieber has revealed his true feelings for Selena Gomez,saying they were so in love that nothing else mattered.He also admitted he ended up disappointed because it was so all consuming.He told Complex magazine :

“We were so in love. Nothing else mattered. We were all about each other. But when it’s like that and you get your value from that, people will always disappoint you.
“Your girl or your dude, they’re always going to disappoint you. Your full identity can’t be in that person. My identity was in her. Her identity was in me.”

When asked what he had learnt from their relationship he said:
 
      “Don’t fall in love.” However he quickly added:

 “No, I’m just kidding. I learned a lot. I moved in with my girlfriend when I was 18. Started my own life with her. It was a marriage kind of thing. Living with a girl, it was just too much at that age...When stuff would happen, I would lose my freakin’ mind, and she would lose her mind, and we would fight so hard because we were so invested in each other.“Love is a choice. Love is not a feeling. People have made it seem in movies that it’s this fairy tale.”

Asked if he thinks he'll compare all his future relationships to what he had with Selena, he said:

"Yeah. You get scarred from certain things. Even like -- I'm kind of seeing this girl, right? I'm shy about doing or saying certain things, and then I say it and it's not even a problem. 

"And I'll remember when I couldn't.... You're just scarred and you don't do something because in your last relationship they'd freak out, but [the new person is] just like, 'What are you talking about?'

'He was burned alive': Paul Walker's daughter Meadow files lawsuit against Porsche

Paul Walker was still alive when the Porsche he was a passenger in caught fire after the horrific crash that took his life, according to a lawsuit filed by his daughter Meadow.

The 16-year-old, whose father died in 2013, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche claiming that the 2005 Carrera GT Walker was riding in had specific design flaws that contributed to his untimely demise.

According to the lawsuit  obtained by TMZ ,Meadows lawyers claim when the Porsche Carrera GT crashed and broke apart, Paul's seat belt "snapped Walker's torso back with thousands of pounds of force, thereby breaking his ribs and pelvis," and trapping him in the passenger seat.
The suit claims the fire didn't erupt for 1 minute and 20 seconds after impact, but Paul was helplessly trapped.  When the fire broke out, Paul was still alive.  The suit alleges, "Paul Walker breathed soot into his trachea while the Porsche Carrera GT burned."

Law enforcement said the cause of the crash was speeding 80 to 93 MPH - at the hands of driver Roger Rodas. But the lawsuit says Rodas was only going between 63 and 71 MPH when it careened out of control. And the suit alleges the car would never have careened if it had a proper stabilization system.

Meadow's lawyers claim Porsche knew the Carrera GT had "a history of instability and control issues." 

Meadow's lawyers say the defect could have been corrected with a Porsche Stability Management System (PSM), which prevents swerving. They say the company intentionally decided not to install PSMs in the Carrera GT, even though it was standard in many other models.

The suit raises other issues with the car, including claims there were deficient side door reinforcements and fuel lines that did not adequately protect the car from erupting in flames.
Meadow's lawyer, Jeff Milam, tells TMZ,

"The bottom line is that the Porsche Carrera GT is a dangerous car. It doesn't belong on the street.  And we shouldn't be without Paul Walker or his friend, Roger Rodas."

The wrongful death lawsuit does not put a figure on damages
