It looks as though Paris Hilton's "simple life" is about to become a little more complicated.
According to Reuters News Service, the infamous homemade sex tape featuring the Hollywood socialite and her ex-boyfriend that surfaced on the Internet late last year has been bought for distribution in adult video stores.
Reuters reported that suburban Los Angeles porn company Red Light District Video has announced that it required rights to distribute the video from Rick Salamon, Hilton's ex-boyfriend and participant in the tape.
The video will be released in its 45-minute entirety in June under the title "One Night in Paris," according to Reuters. Terms of the transaction between Salamon and the company were not disclosed. Reuters said a 38-minute version of the video was posted on Salamon's own Web site in February for $50 per download.
Hilton, an heiress of the Hilton Hotel chain, has a $30 million invasion of privacy lawsuit pending against a Panama-based Internet firm for originally distributing the video.
Reuters reported there was no comment from Hilton's representatives and Salamon's attorney could not be reached for comment.
