I GOT YOUR BOOP BABY! Can We Talk?

   Verne Troyer aka Mini-Me & Ex-girlfriend Ranae Shrider

Verne Troyer, best known for his role as Dr. Evil’s Mini-Me in the Austin Powers films, has filed a lawsuit against TMZ.com over a sex tape.  The lawsuit states that the 39-year old sent several letters to TMZ.com before and after the site decided to post parts of a sex tape which he recorded with his former girlfriend.  Troyer stated though that all of his letters to TMZ went completely ignored.  Troyer filed the multimillion dollar federal lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.  He stated that TMZ violated his privacy rights, and also infringed upon his copyright and trademark.  Verne Troyer filmed himself and his ex-girlfriend indulging in sexual activities in their apartment.

Also named in the lawsuit was Kevin Blatt, who distributed the sex tape.  The footage was apparently taken by a third party and now celebrity porn broker Kevin Blatt – who was instrumental in the releasing the now infamous  Paris Hilton sex tape – is allegedly set to pay $US100,000  ($104,430) for the footage. Verne Troyer says the sex tape was stolen, mysteriously ending up in the hands of Kevin Blatt, the dude that distributed “One Night in Paris.”  Mini-Me, Verne Troyer is seeking $20 million in damages, as well as attorney’s fees and an injunction to stop the tape from being shown again.

Who was this mystery woman….non other then Ranae Shrider!  A photo with Shrider and Troyer was taken before the release of her filmed tryst with Troyer - of her alongside Paris Hilton, the very woman that starred in “One Night in Paris” and has a relationship with Blatt.  The 22-year-old actress lived with The Love Guru star for six months and thought she would marry him.

Verne Troyer is the latest in a long line of stars that have had their recorded bedroom activities leaked to the public.  As well as Paris Hilton’s “One Night In Paris”, Pamela Anderson, Colin Farrell and Tom Sizemore have all appeared in sex tapes.

It doesn’t matter how small or how big you may be when it comes to Show Biz because nothing is sacrate when you’re a star!

What do you think about the privacy of celebrities and just how far is too far when it comes to their privacy?
