A John Edwards sex tape, made with former mistress (and current girlfriend?) Rielle Hunter actually exists.

No matter how many times we hear about this, no matter how many reliable sources confirm its existence, this will never cease to be a shocking development in an already-jaw dropping scandal.

Earlier today, Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones reprimanded Andrew Young, the ex-Edwards aide that played a major role in covering up – for awhile, anyway – his boss’ affair with Hunter.

Jones ruled that Young has until Wednesday afternoon to hand over items “of a personal nature” that belonged to Edwards, according to The News and Observer. Young has said he’s storing the alleged video in a safe deposit box in Atlanta.

John Edwards: Fake family man. Real sex tape star.

“These items are to be produced and turned over to the court. The court will put them under lock and key – and under seal – until the lawsuit is resolved,” the judge said, referring to Hunter’s temporary restraining order against Young.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Edwards and Hunter is STILL going on, confirms the latter’s sister, Roxanne Marshall. She profited off it this week by telling Inside Edition:

“[Rielle] still believes they will be together. She is very happy. What mother wouldn’t be, especially after his denying [fatherhood]?”

It’s true. Just think of the role model Hunter’s daughter now has to look up to. She might grow up to be a politician… that uses campaign funds to cover up a child she produced when she cheated on her cancer-stricken spouse.

The Apple press has been all about iPads since January 27—and how can you blame them? There’s a lot to talk about before the device gets into our grubby little hands. But there are other things going on in the Apple space in the meantime. One such thing is the new, improved, and Apple-free 2010 Macworld Expo which is taking place next week.

Did you forget about Macworld? Some did, while others (largely on Twitter) have been ramping up the chatter about what to expect without Apple there. You may remember that, in late 2008, Apple announced that it would no longer be attending the Expo after 2009, throwing the conference world into an uproar and eventually leading to the 2010 Expo’s dates being moved from January to February of this year. And now, it’s only a few days away: the conference begins next Tuesday, February 9 and runs through Saturday, the 13th.

The way the price of oil has plummeted this week on the dollar’s rise amid the flight-to-safety lends more support to the theory that if the U.S. budget was balanced, crude would fall, oh, about $30 or $35.

Oil is priced in dollars. Hence, when the dollar falls, oil’s price usually rises, and vice-versa. Starting in 2001, the dollar began to weaken as the U.S. budget went from a surplus under President Bill Clinton to a deficit under President George W. Bush, with the euro strengthening from about 82 cents versus the dollar to the current $1.3605. During that time oil’s price has more than tripled from the $25 per barrel crude price in 2001.

Because we know fans can’t wait another moment to view the Kardashian’s upkoming bebe klothing line, People has been kind enough to give us a sneak peek at what’s about to hit stores.

She’s wearing an example from it below. Would you buy this dress?

Even though each sibling is intent on shrinking to the weight of a skeleton, via Quicktrim, Khloe Kardashian says the line was created with all shapes and sizes in mind.

“My sisters and I all have different body types so it was important to us to take into consideration that most women in America aren’t built the same either. We wanted to be a part of something that we could and would actually wear.”

The collection goes on sale February 11. Will you be lining up to purchase items from it?
