YNOT – If a woman is even moderately attractive and notorious, count on Vivid Entertainment to pop out of the woodwork and offer her a lucrative contract to have sex on film.The porn giant’s latest headline-snatching move saw Vivid founder and co-chairman Steven Hirsch aiming an offer at Anna Chapman only days after Chapman was deported from the U.S. to her native Russia following a guilty plea to espionage charges.
“Our firm, Vivid Entertainment, is…very interested in extending an offer to Ms. Chapman to make a feature movie with us,” Hirsch wrote in a letter to Chapman’s New York-based criminal attorney, Robert M. Baum. “We realize that she is currently in Russia and may not yet be able to make business deals, but we wanted her to know that we are ready and eager to talk terms with her.”
Hirsch’s letter also mentions the “celebrity sex tapes” starring legendary thespians Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilson for which Vivid obtained the distribution rights. Interestingly, Hirsch did not mention any financial details, as he did in the similar letter to Nadya “Octomom” Suleman last year. Suleman declined the studio’s kind offer of $1 million to star in a Vivid production, but then any woman who has given birth to octuplets probably doesn’t need to be having sex anyway.
Chapman, 28 and nicknamed “the lady in red” by the media, was the youngest of 10 Russians swapped as part of a U.S.-Russia spy deal in early July. Reportedly highly trained in espionage tactics including steganography, the redheaded temptress gained national attention, evoking historical references to the Cold War, when she pleaded guilty to money laundering and conspiring to violate the U.S.’s Foreign Agent Registration law. The UK subsequently revoked her British citizenship and passport, which she obtained upon her whirlwind marriage to London businessman Alex Chapman in 2002. The couple divorced four years later.
“Anna was obviously the hottest spy we’ve seen in years, and she was clearly the media’s favorite,” Hirsch said in a statement distributed Monday. “Though she wasn’t very successful as a spy, we think she can be a terrific actress in one of our upcoming feature films. We would be willing to send our top director, B. Skow, to Moscow to work with her.”
Neither Chapman nor her attorney had responded to the offer by Tuesday morning.
