TMZ has learned ... former Playboy Playmate Karissa Shannon and her BF, "Smallville" actor Sam Jones, have finally agreed to release their sex tape ... and all it took was cold, hard cash -- that's what she said.

Sources close to the couple tell us they both agreed to a deal with Vivid Entertainment when the offer hit the "six-figure range."

Steven Hirsch -- the president of Vivid -- tells us, "We are excited to finally distribute this amazing DVD. Not only is it extremely kinky for a celeb sex tape, Karissa is absolutely beautiful. And as for Sam, let's just say he's no 'Smallville.' This is sure to be one of our all-time best sellers."

Watch your backs, Paris and Kim K -- sounds like you've got a challenger for the title.

On Saturday, Karissa's boyfriend Sam Jones III was spotted entering MyStudio where he told X17 that the meeting with Vivid Entertainment chairman, Steven Hirsch "went good." He said that Karissa was "outta town getting money," and when asked about Karissa's twin, Kristina saying that the sex tape doesn't even exist, Jones just said, "whatever!"

Former "Hills" star Audrina Patridge says rehearsing the Cha-Cha for "Dancing with the Stars" is no cakewalk, and she's got the blisters to prove it!

"The first week my feet were suffering. Y'know, I had blisters everywhere. And then the second week, it started all going to my thighs and my -- what is that? -- the IT band?" Audrina asks her pro partner Tony Dovolani.

"The IT band… I'm educating her. This is awesome -- she remembers," Tony smiles.

Uncomfortable side effects aside, the "Dancing" duo tells ET their rehearsals are going well.

"Tony's a professional here. He's got it all [the steps] down," Audrina says. "But for me, once I have it down, it's just all about really having fun and just, like, over-accentuating everything."

Heidi & Spencer -- Busted in Costa Rica! Filed under ( Costa Rica, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Video )

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are getting divorced and Spencer is threatening to release a flurry of sex tapes that feature his handiwork with Heidi, along with some girl-on-girl ... so it's more than telling that a paparazzi agency shot video of the two of them together Sunday at a resort in Costa Rica, frantically separating so they would not seem in cahoots.

Spencer told TMZ over the weekend he was in Costa Rica to turn over two dogs to Heidi but she wanted nothing to do with him. The video suggests otherwise.

Spencer says he's given Heidi an ultimatum -- either tear up the divorce papers and do a reality show with him, or he'll release the sex tapes.

Lauren Has Bad News About ‘LA Candy’ Movie Filed under ( Hurley, L.A. Candy Movie, Lauren Conrad, The U.S. Open of Surfing, Video, Walk the Walk )

It’s been nearly a year since Lauren Conrad scored a sweet deal to turn her debut novel, LA Candy, into a movie. But what’s currently happening with LC’s art-imitating-life project? Read on, BFFs!

The 24-year-old former reality starlet dropped a pretty big bombshell, announcing that she’s not even sure the movie will be made! “We haven’t officially decided on doing a movie,” she confided to Hollywood Life exclusively at Hurley’s Walk the Walk event at the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, Calif. August 6. “It was originally supposed to be a TV series, then we talked about doing a movie, so we are in between. We haven’t decided if we are sure on anything.”

But if the film DOES happen, Lauren does want to be involved in the casting process. “I mean, I call it [being] involved – I don’t call it being a control freak. The books took me a year and a half to write; I have lived the life for six years, so it’s something I am very attached to. I want to make sure it’s done right! It is something I want to be involved in every step of the way,” she told us.

If the flick comes to fruition, one thing you’ll never see is Lauren playing herself (the book recalls her experience filming The Hills as Jane Roberts, a girl who moves to Los Angeles to film a reality show). “[I'd never cast myself] because I’m an awful actress,” she confessed. “I took acting classes for several months a few years ago and I just wasn’t good at it. I don’t enjoy it. I think there are so many people that have worked their whole lives and are so talented that it would be a waste to take that place myself.”

Stephanie Pratt: I'm A 'Nerd' Who 'Likes To Work' Filed under ( Handbag Line, Stephanie Pratt, Video )

Stephanie Pratt is certainly busy these days now that "The Hills" is over and she's busy hard at work on her handbag line. So, although we spent several seasons watching her and her pals hit the party scene on the show, she admits she's actually kind of a homebody.

"I think it'd be surprising to know that I would rather stay inside than go out," she told MTV News. "I like going to a nice dinner with friends and watching a movie and literally falling asleep."

You see, this Pratt is kind of over partying. "I'm like exhausted! I've been going out since I was 17, so I really don't like the club scene in L.A. very much anymore," she said. "I think people would be surprised to learn I'm kind of a nerd and I like to work."

"The handbag line is coming out this fall and then in September I can't wait to come back for fashion week and then September, October is when I start designing the spring collection."
