To be sure, it's quite fair that Lynsi Smigo — the fiance of Opie & Anthony radio host Gregg "Opie" Hughes — would be so disgusted that somebody would insinuate she made a sex tape with Jackass' Bam Margera that she would sue over the matter. It's just sort of silly to think that the matter will see a courtroom.

Back in April, Page Six ran an item with the sex tape claim, provided by Steppin' Out editor Chaunce Hayden. Which explains why, in addition to the Post, Hayden and P6 editor Richard Johnson are named as defendants. Nevermind that Johnson & Co. have since thrown Hayden under the bus, blaming him for the erroneous report and severing a lengthy relationship with the column regular. But it's not like Hayden has the cash Rupert Murdoch's Post does.

Smigo is looking for $10 million. As a consolation prize, she'll take 10 minutes with Hayden's tongue. [TSG]

Dear Opie,

Sorry to hear that you've failed again and that the world found out what I already knew…I told you a long time ago, DON'T TRY TO BE HOWARD. DON'T TRY TO BE DICE. BE THE BEST OPIE YOU CAN BE from Wyoming or wherever you're from originally. Put on the overalls, grab a pitchfork, and chew tobacco…

I really wish there was some kind of rehab for people who have lost their edge. Where people like you and Chevy Chase could sit together, reminisce about what it was like to be funny…

–ANDREW DICE CLAY, in an open letter to Greg "Opie" Hughes.
