Celebrities Never Learn with Nude Photos... or Do They?

Women should be more careful about letting nude photos of themselves leave their hands - as Kristin Davis and Audrina Partridge learned this week.

Following in the naked footsteps of High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens and many others, these two - along with a possible Lindsay Lohan sex tape bombshell - made news this week as naked pictures of themselves turned up online.

A rep for Davis, best-known as Charlotte in the TV series and upcoming Sex and the City movie, denies that Kristin Davis is the dark-haired woman in the handful of XXX-rated photos that have popped up on the Internet.

There is no Kristin Davis sex tape, but the photos - of whoever it is - are of some brunette posing naked, in the bathtub, and performing various sex acts on some random dude whose face is never shown. What a jackass.

The pics were reportedly taken by Eric Stapelman, an ex-boyfriend of Davis from the early '90s. Eric Stapelman was apparently mad at Davis when he sold the pictures to a third party, from whom they were later stolen.

Meanwhile, there's absolutely no doubt that the photos of Partridge - the faithful sidekick of Lauren Conrad on The Hills - are 100 percent real.

  This is as clothed as we've seen Audrina Patridge and Kristin Davis this week.

Audrina Partridge posed for the pin-ups in 2006, after graduating from high school in the hope she could score some space in Playboy. She failed.

However, the images, including many in which she posed as a topless school girl (yowza), have mysteriously surfaced in cyberspace to haunt her.

The Audrina Patridge nude pictures have been owned up to by The Hills star, who regrets having taken them. But is there even anything to regret?

Just look what sex tapes have done for the "careers" of Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and many others. It makes you wonder how accidental they are.

Porn star Ron Jeremy scoffs at the idea that tapes are leaked by mistake.

"It's all a big joke. I love the excuse that they use. 'I don't know how it got out!' Please. Their careers start to fade or never get off the ground and them all of a sudden, they jump back up with a good sex scandal."
