Lana Del Rey tried to sleep her way to the top, but failed. Here are seven celebrities who succeeded.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has slept with plenty of famous guys. Her sex tape wih Ray J provided the blueprint for using bedroom antics to gain international fame
Farrah Abraham
Farrah made a porn disguised as a “celebrity sex tape.” While everyone on this list used sex to boost their career, Farrah is the only one delusional to lie to herself about it.
Paris Hilton
Kim’s former BFF Paris also skyrocketed to A-list status thanks in part to her sex tape. Paris, of course, wasn’t as adept at sustaining her fame.
Kendra Wilkinson
These days Kendra is in news thanks to her husband’s sexual proclivities. But there was a time when an unknown Kendra decided – like so many women before her – to sleep with Hugh Hefner in exchange for fame.
Chelsea Handler
Chelsea was sleeping with Comcast CEO Ted Harbert at the time she landed her own late night show. Handler admits that her relationship helped her career, but claims that Harbert merely “recognized talent.”
Scott Disick
Yes, Disick began sleeping with Kourtney just before she rose to fame on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The fact remains, Disick is now a household name simply because he sleeps with someone much more famous than himself.
Lil Kim
We start and end the list with Kims. Lil Kim is undeniably talented in her own right, but may have never gotten her start in the music biz were it not for her sexual relationship with Notorious B.I.G. It just goes to show – if you’re gonna try and sleep your way to the top, choose your partners carefully.
