The latest Internet sex scandal features not Britney, Paris or Lindsay, but one of the most unlikely female celebrities of all: Meg White, drummer for the eccentric blues-rock duo The White Stripes.
The band recently canceled the remainer of this year's tour due to Meg's "acute anxiety," and now gossip-mongers are speculating that the real reason was this alleged video, which began circulating on the Internet and making headlines within the last several hours.
But almost as quickly as the rumors began, skeptics concluded that the woman in the video is not Meg at all. "Ok, yes she is a woman (like the drummer) and yes, she has the same colour hair, but this is hardly watertight proof," the British magazine NME stated on its Website two hours ago. "Frankly, we don't think it is Meg."
The origin of the tape is unclear; most Websites that try to link to the video refer to MyFreePaySite, a well-known porn Website. Most of the videos, however, display the error message, "Sorry, this video file was not found on our server."
