Even though she has said "no" more times than the Jonas Brothers, Vivid prez Steven Hirsch is still holding out hope Carrie Prejean agrees to sell over the rights to her infamous sex tape.
Hirsch has offered Prejean some serious dough to sign on the dotted line and join the Vivid family. So far she's declined -- and even threatened to sue -- despite the expert advise she's received from Shauna Sand.
Though when Shauna Sand is pushing you in one direction, common sense dictates you go in the other.

Carrie Prejean has her panties in a bunch, because Vivid Entertainment won't take no for an answer.
TMZ has obtained a letter from Carrie's lawyer, threatening to sue Vivid if it releases videos or photos of Carrie's solo, XXX greatest hits. Carrie's lawyer, Charles LiMandri, told Vivid, even though he made it clear yesterday that no means no, "...your company has apparently told the media that it plans to publish the videotapes and/or photographs of my client with or without her permission."
LiMandri left nothing to the imagination, warning Vivid Carrie will sue for invasion of privacy, misappropriation of her likeness as well as public disclosure of private facts ... if Vivid makes good on its threat.
LiMandri will also add a claim for emotional distress for good measure. And he claims some of the videos were shot when she was only 17. Her ex-boyfriend -- the guy to whom she sent the tapes -- begs to differ.

Carrie Prejean's sex tape cost her more than a million bucks during her settlement discussions with Miss California USA, but we've learned Vivid Entertainment is officially stepping up with an offer to line her pockets with even more money.
TMZ has obtained a copy of a letter Vivid honcho Steven Hirsch sent to Prejean's lawyer, Charles Limandri. Hirsch is asking to acquire the rights to distribute "erotic footage that Carrie Prejean, former Miss California, produced for her boyfriend following their four (4) day rendezvous in February 2007." It's the same video (eight in all, along with 30 photos) that TMZ obtained but has not posted because it's just too racy.
In the letter, Hirsch tries tempting Carrie with this: "We would like to present Carrie with several options where she could certainly earn millions of dollars."
Hirsch boasts his stable of stars, including Kim Kardashian, Kelli McCarty (former Miss USA) and Shauna Sand -- the kinds of women any gal would be proud to call her peers.
TMZ spoke with attorney Limandri last night, and it looks like Carrie's not biting. Limandri says Carrie's mom/rep says, "No, at any price."
Carrie claims she was underage when the videos were shot, but her ex-boyfriend to whom she sent the videos begs to differ.
But Carrie may have another plan to score some loot. We're told she may sue the Miss Cali pageant, along with its officials, because she believes they leaked the settlement to TMZ.
Stay tuned ...

The world's largest porn company has obtained a copy of the Carrie Prejean solo sex tape -- and TMZ has learned they're desperately trying to release it.
The porn company -- Vivid Entertainment -- tells us they obtained the tape legally, but they want Carrie to sign off on it personally before it goes wide. Good luck with that...
As TMZ first reported, the solo sex tape was played in front of several people during settlement negotiations between Prejean and the Miss USA Pageant just a few weeks ago. Once Prejean saw the tape, she instantly dropped her $1 million demand.
For the record, TMZ has had the tape for weeks, but elected not to publish it -- and we have not disseminated it.
Vivid Prez Steven Hirsch tells TMZ, "The third party that brought the tape to Vivid affirmed that she was over 18 years of age at the time it was made."

The sex tape starring Shauna Sand is being delayed a week -- and it all has to do with whether or not Shauna signed on the dotted line.
Vivid Entertainment says it plans to counter Shauna's cease and desist letter by bringing in a handwriting expert to prove the release they have is authentic. Fun fact: if it is, it could be the only thing about Shauna that is truly authentic.
No word on how long it will take the handwriting expert to draw a conclusion -- but how hard can it be to analyze an X?

Just try to imagine OctoMom Nadya Suleman's kids doing Gerber body shots off porn stars -- and you have Vivid Entertainment's new million dollar offer for an Octo reality show.
In a letter sent to Nadya, Vivid is offering her seven figures, free health insurance for one year and a bus big enough for the family if she agrees to do a reality show for them. The catch? All her nannies have to be porn stars and she has to appear semi-nude in a XXX flick.
We're pretty sure she'll say no -- but Octo just said she fired her Angels in Waiting nannies, so who knows?

TMZ has obtained an exclusive clip of the Kim Kardashian sex tape, and has learned that the infamous "water sports" scene will not be part of the final version.
The 40-second segment shows Kim and Ray J in bed as he tries to adjust the camera, "to get the right lighting." Kim then takes a turn posing while Ray J grabs a handful of her butt.
As TMZ first reported, the tape was said to have featured certain explicit acts. Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment, coyly told TMZ that the sex tape that they received and are currently marketing does not contain water sports nor anything along those lines.
Kim has maintained that she is not involved in the sale of the tape, something Hirsch confirms. "We have tried to contact Kim," he says, "The tape can generate a tremendous amount of interest and we would like her to take part in that."
