Cynthia, along with the world's other most-famous-est rock groupie, Pamela Des Barres , contributed commentary to a minute "sexumentary," plainly titled Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape. He's the ultimate adult-film movie star. I understand why everyone wanted to sleep with the guy. He played like an all-encompassing rock orgasm. He reeked of sex. Many, of course, disputed the validity of the mere 11 minutes of 8 mm footage, which has no sound and shows an Afroed black man, wearing only some '70s-pimp-ish rings and a bandanna, having a threesome with two skinny white chicks in a dimly lit room. Dude looks wasted. Or maybe already dead. His full face is only on screen for a couple of seconds.

Jimi Hendrix became a legend for his guitar licks. But 38 years after his death, could he become equally known for his, er, licks? Vivid Entertainment, a large maker of pornographic DVDs, apparently thinks so -- this week they're releasing a disc called Jimi Hendrix The Sex Tape, and Hendrix's estate is crying foul. Regarding the 11 minutes of silent footage that is the centerpiece of the two-DVD set, reportedly shot in a hotel room about 40 years go and featuring a man who appears to be Hendrix engaged in various sexual acts with two women, Experience Hendrix, which controls the rights to the late guitarist's music and likeness, has questioned the authenticity of the tape.
