Rielle Hunter Wants to Get Paid

The incomparable Rielle Hunter, John Edwards' mistress, mother of his love child and possible sex tape partner, thinks she should be cashing in on this more.

The Rielle Deal is requesting all the profits from The Politician, the shocking tell-all memoir from Edwards' former aide and co-conspirator, Andrew Young.

Hunter believes she is entitled to all money generated by The Politician and any movie made from its contents, which largely revolve around herself.

In it, Andrew Young describes his efforts to help the former presidential candidate conceal his affair with Hunter and his paternity of their daughter.

Court documents allege that Rielle Hunter pictures and other personal property Young used in the book were private property and used illegally.

SEDUCTION: Rielle Hunter breaks marriages. Now she wants to break the bank.

Hunter and Young spoke privately in a Charlotte courtroom last month. A grand jury is still investigating Edwards' use of campaign funds to silence her.

Young has testified that he helped Edwards cover up the affair and the fact that he knocked up Rielle, even claiming that he, not John, fathered the kid.

Rielle is also suing for every copy of the alleged John Edwards sex tape, made when she was pregnant with their child. You're welcome for that imagery.

Hunter also wants photos from Young's laptop and a computer file.

On a side note, today's her baby daddy's birthday. Woo hoo!
