Sounds like another one of Steve ‘Papa Smurf’ Hirsch’s publicity stunts.

from www.tmz.com – Shocker of the century … a new Tila Tequila [pictured] sex tape has leaked onto the Internet — and the porn studio that owns the frisky footage claims it was stolen from under its nose.

Lawyers for Vivid Entertainment fired off a letter to the folks behind Pornhub.com (who are apparently located in the Republic of Cyprus), demanding it remove a five-minute clip of the Tila tape that hit the web last week. Vivid had plans to release the tape this week and wants to keep it fresh.

And get this … we’re told Vivid thinks it was an inside job — one of its own leaked the video.

If you can’t trust people at a porn company, who can you trust?
