Sex tape, superspy, Snoop

Still riding high (that's a relative term) from this weekend's Coachella? By the way, who has the pig? Thought it would be a good time to share some tidbits from the world of music:

Vivid Entertainment (don't pretend you don't know what that is) says it's releasing a sex video of the legendary psychedelic guitarist Jimi Hendrix, whose outrageous performances no doubt inspired many a groupie to dispense with formality and articles of clothing. What better come on than "Are You Experienced?" at eardrum-shattering volume? The tape, bought from a collector, allegedly shows Hendrix with not one but two of the aforementioned women, though there's still some debate about whether it's authentic.

Even death (at the criminally young age of 27) doesn't spare the famous from the YouTube effect.

Hendrix, who got his start playing backup for icons like Little Richard and the Isley Brothers, recorded only three records with his Jimi Hendrix Experience, and all three are now in the Grammy Hall of Fame. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the early '90s.

Multiple Grammy winner Amy Winehouse -- in or out of the big house? -- is rumored to be working on music for the next Bond flick, "Quantum of Solace." Her partner in, um, crime? Grammy winning producer Mark Ronson, who also worked on her hit record "Back to Black."

Seeing as the last few times we've seen her, the painfully thin neo-soul sista was on her way to jail (pictured) and doing shots while balancing a friend's baby on her hip, we'd much rather think of her in the studio creating something Bondish. Gotta be better than Madonna's "Die Another Day," right?

Snoop Dogg and Ne-Yo: Emmy contenders? Tom O'Neill over at Gold Derby begs (begs!) the Daytime Emmy folks to create a guest star category, mainly so Snoop's upcoming appearances on "One Life to Live" and Ne-Yo's drop by on "All My Children" can be considered for the TV backslapfest.

Soap fans out there already know that these melodramatic serials have always been magnets for movie giants (Elizabeth Taylor!) and rock stars (Mick Jagger!) Too late for their Emmys, but there's still time to put the hip-hop giants side-by-side with the likes of Dr. Phil and Judge Judy. That's dope.
