EW YORK (AFP) - A 12-year-old, soft-core video of a topless Cameron Diaz (news) has emerged on the internet, showing the "Charlie's Angels" star engaging in some light, but definitely un-angelic S and M play.
The footage of Diaz, who has since become one of Hollywood's highest-paid stars, was shot in 1992 by photographer John Rutter, who has been locked in a long legal battle with the actress over the material.
A download of the 30-minute video, which has a topless, fishnet stocking-clad Diaz vamping it up with another woman and a man, was being offered for 40 dollars by a Russian-registered website,
www.scandal-inc.com.
Diaz was 19 and trying to break through as a model when she made the video, in which she "walks" a leather-clad male model on a leash.
The "ShreK-2" star had previously accused Rutter of seeking to extort around three million dollars by threatening to release the tape and some accompanying still photos.
According to the star's spokesperson, Diaz won a court injunction last year prohibiting anyone from selling, distributing or commercially exploiting the material.
A cease and desist letter has reportedly been sent to the website, which is marketing the download under the title: "She's No Angel: Cameron Diaz."
