Sex Tape Starring AMERICAN IDOL(R) Finalist Jessica Sierra to Be Released January 30th As She Undergoes Rehab in California

LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--While former AMERICAN IDOL(R) finalist Jessica Sierra completes
her current rehab in nearby Pasadena, Vivid Entertainment, the world's
leading adult film studio, will release a steamy sex tape starring the
troubled singer.

   "Jessica Sierra Superstar" will go on sale January 30th in retail
stores nationwide and online at http://jessicasuperstar.com.

   "It's an exceptionally explicit series of vignettes both solo and
with Charles "C" Youngblood a man she met at a Hooters bar in Tampa.
The tape also reveals much about the personality of Jessica and gives
some insight that would be helpful for anyone curious as to how she
has arrived at her current situation in life," according to Steven
Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment.

   With scenes captured in various locations around Tampa, the sex
tape demonstrates that Sierra has talents never imagined by the
national television audience that voted her as a finalist in the
fourth season of AMERICAN IDOL(R). She was eliminated on March 30,
2005 after she sang "On the Side of Angels" and since then has led a
stormy life that has included run-ins with law enforcement.

   Sierra is one of the bold-face names documented in VH1's new
reality series, "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew", in which David Drew
"Dr. Drew" Pinsky follows the detoxification and treatment process of
show business personalities.

   Sierra is currently at the Pasadena Recovery Center, which she
entered after a Florida judge granted her a special 45-day travel
permit. He had sentenced her to serve a year at an in-house drug
treatment facility followed by three years of probation after a trial
for disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest without violence and
other charges stemming from her latest arrest for an incident that
occurred outside a bar in Tampa last month.

   In sentencing Sierra, Hillsborough County Circuit Court Judge
Daniel Perry also forbid her from using treatment as a way to aid her
celebrity status and thus "glamorize" being a drug addict. Vivid
obtained the sex tape prior to the sentencing. Judge Perry ordered her
to stay at least 100 yards away from microphones and cameras.
