Thanks to all 1,267 of you who wrote us in the last hour to tell us about the "new" video posted on a Russian-registered website today featuring a before-she-was-famous Cameron Diaz in a sort of softcore S&M-flavored aerobics routine with a Chippendale-looking dude in a loincloth - almost a year after the tawdry tale of Diaz and photographer John Rutter first made headlines.

Update Just to make it clear that we're not "profiting" in any way from reporting this story, we've replaced the direct link in this post to the site selling the video with a cached version. Thanks, Google!

Here's some background info from a press release (all sic) forwarded to us:

"The Shrek 2 actress had originally sought an injunction to stop photographer, John Rutter, from trying to sell topless photographs and video footage of her back in June of 2003. The photos and footage were taken when Diaz, now 31, was a 19-year-old model who had not yet gained fame as an actress. 'To the best of my understanding, Rutter had sold the rights to the tape to [redacted] sometime early last year' said 'KB' an industry Public Relations figure who specializes in the promotion of celebrity sex tapes. (Ed. note: How does one apply for a job like that? Er, not that we're looking for a new job or anything.) 'KB' also goes on to say 'The case was a long , drawn out case against Rutter that ran the gamut from extortion to forgery, but later it was ruled he did in fact have the copyright on the production. Rutter licensed the copyright to the footage and photos years ago and early last year the distributor sold the rights to [redacted] , they have now released it via the company s websiteat [redacted] the membership charge is $39.95."
