Breaking: Professional Model Sells Body To Make A Living

Sophie Anderton is part of the new breed of celebrities who are pretty much famous just for being famous and are prime targets for tabloid newspapers even though no one can remember why the tabloids ever cared about them in the first place. Naturally, we only know her name because of a sex tape scandal that seemed kind of silly at the time, but now sounds perfectly plausible after a British paper caught her in a "sex sting." A "reporter" for the News Of The World pretended to be a businessman, hired Sophie for a "date" and then filmed her doing a whole bunch of embarrassing things (like cocaine) and offering to bring herself and a friend on a three-day sex trip to the Bahamas for £15,000 a night.

We suppose it's somewhat shocking that a beautiful woman known primarily for her body and semi-public sexual escapades would offer herself up as an extremely high-priced call girl to lonely businessmen, but at the same time, we're still a bit puzzled by this entirely manufactured scandal. Why would a "journalist" (using the term very loosely) go to the trouble of such an operation simply to embarrass a perfectly harmless woman? Why stand by like a drooling voyeur, egging her on in her dangerous behavior, only so you could later turn around and tsk-tsk her like a gossipy judgmental neighbor. Why lie, cheat, and (possibly) break the law just for a juicy story?

Oh, right ... money. Which is exactly why she fucks strange business men in the Bahamas. What a whore, huh?
