A
pornographic home video of Anderson and Tommy Lee
was stolen from their home, and made a huge stir on
the Internet. Anderson sued the company, the Internet
Entertainment Group, that was distributing the video.
Ultimately the courts awarded Anderson and Lee $1.5
million plus attorney fees for their share of the
profits.
A
second tape, which was made before the Tommy Lee tape,
involving Anderson and musician Bret Michaels from
Poison was later distributed on the Internet. Frames
of the video first appeared in Penthouse magazine
in March, 1998. The popularity and profitability of
the Anderson and Tommy Lee video sparked a miniature
genre within the porn film industry and since then
many homemade porn videos of celebrities have been
released to the public through home video and Web
channels (either with or without the participants'
co-operation).
Since
her divorce, she has become engaged to both the model
Marcus Schenkenberg and the singer Kid Rock (Robert
J. Ritchie). She broke up with Schenkenberg in 2001,
and broke up with Kid Rock in 2003. It was announced
on July 18, 2006 that she would marry Kid Rock on
July 29, 2006 on a yacht near St. Tropez, France.
"Feels like I've been stuck in a time warp,"
said Anderson in her blog entry. "Not able to
let go of MY family picture ... it's been sad and
lonely and frustrating ... I've raised my kids alone
in hope of a miracle. Well my miracle came and went.
And came back and back because he knew that I'd wake
up one day and realize that I was waiting for nothing."
"I'm moving on," she declared. "I feel
like I'm finally free ... I'm in love." There
was extensive unconfirmed media speculation that the
marriage is pregnancy-related, but the theory was
based only on Anderson's representatives refusal to
comment on the question.
She
put her Malibu, California, home up for sale in order
to move to a more private location. In an interview
with Gavriel Maynard, Anderson stated "I don't
know why people consider me stupid, I'm actually really
smart."On
November 10, 2006, it was announced that Anderson
miscarried while in Vancouver shooting a new film,
Blonde and Blonder. 17 days later, on November 27,
2006 Anderson filed for divorce in Los Angeles County
Superior Court from Kid Rock, citing irreconcilable
differences. Some news reports have suggested that
Kid Rock's outrage during a screening of Borat, in
which she plays a cameo role, led to the filing for
divorce two weeks later.
