Kristin Davis Denies Sexy Pictures Making the Rounds on Internet Are Her

Sex and the City star Kristin Davis is facing a case of life imitating art as sexy pictures of her are making the rounds on the Internet. The pictures, believed to be around 5 years old, were allegedly taken by an ex-boyfriend and are now being shopped by a California broker. Kristin's rep denies that the pictures are of her and insists that there is no sex tape.

Many people wonder why if these photos are, in fact, of Davis are they just being shopped now. "Sex and the City" has been off the air for 5 years and Davis' career has focused on mainly family friendly fare such as starring in Disney's remake of "The Shaggy Dog" and the holiday movie "Deck the Halls." However, with Davis scheduled to star in the "Sex and the City" movie this May, there is bound to be some buzz.

Davis is not the first star to have to deal with the rumor of private pictures becoming public, whether they're true or not. Early this Fall, Disney Teen Queen Vanessa Hudgens first denied and than admitted that the steamy photos making the Internet rounds were of her and had been sent to a boyfriend. Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee had a their private honeymoon video stolen from their home and it quickly made a huge stir on the Internet. These tapes can prove embarrassing for the celebrities and often put their career in jeopardy. There were serious doubts if Hudgens would be asked back by Disney for the third installment of the wildly popular "High School Musical" Series. However, in the end Disney decided to stand behind their star.

Some celebrities have, however, enjoyed a major fame boost as the result of a well-placed sex tape. Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian were relatively unknown until they both had sex tapes made with former boyfriends make the rounds. The results were lucrative reality TV deals, movie offers, and a fast track in to the Hollywood elite.
