Sex | Kim Kardashian Isn't Buying Her Sex Tape: So Who Is?

Kim Kardashian isn't the mystery buyer trying to remove her sex tape from the market -- so who could it be?

According to Vivid Entertainment head honcho Steve Hirsch, no one close to Kim is trying to buy the rights to her sex tape, either. That means that her mom manager Kris Jenner isn't the mystery buyer, and her hubby Kris Humphries isn't trying to remove it from the market as a late wedding present. It also seemed possible that a rich friend or associate of Kim's late father might have been honoring his memory by trying to rid the world of the sex tape. However, it's highly unlikely that Ray J would pay to lose his own cash cow.

It's extremely hard to guess who would be trying to remove Kim Kardashian's sex tape from the market besides those close to her, but there are a few other suspects. Maybe some rich Armenian man thinks that Kim is giving her people a bad name, or maybe he was touched by the way she has spoken out against Armenian genocide. Or maybe there's just some rich guy out there who wants to be the only one in possession of the sex tape -- he could want to become the sole owner of the tape because he has some sort of weird fetish, or he could just have a similar mentality to the guy who paid to know who the song "You're so Vain" is about or those crazy art collectors who pay millions to own stolen works of art (this is the only time Kim Kardashian's sex tape will ever be compared to a work of art). There are just some weird people out there who get off on having things that no one else does.

There was also a rather funny theory in the comments of the TMZ article about the sex tape theorizing that Paris Hilton may have bought the rights to it because she can't stand that Kim's sex tape sells better than her own.

Whatever the case, Steve Hirsh has said that the mystery buyer has promised to reveal himself (herself?) if the deal ever goes through and reveal why he/she spent the money on removing it from the market.

However, maybe this whole "mystery buyer" business is just a way for Vivid to get people to pay to see Kim's sex tape before it disappears forever -- after all, the mystery buyer story broke shortly after Kim's wedding when there was already some renewed interest in the tape. Once Vivid decides that the publicity generated by this little ploy isn't bringing in any more business, Steve Hirsh will just let everyone know that he and the mystery buyer weren't able to come to an agreement, and that will be the end of it.

So what do you think -- is there a caring/creepy person out there trying to be the sole owner of Kim Kardashian's sex tape, or is Vivid making all of this "mystery buyer" stuff up?
