STAPP SETTLES SEX TAPE SUIT

Former CREED frontman SCOTT STAPP has reached a settlement in his lawsuit over a 1999 sex tape featuring the rocker and ex-pal KID ROCK romping with four groupies. In February 2006, adult film company World Wide Red Light District acquired a copy of the raunchy footage, filmed during a Miami, Florida stop of the musicians' joint tour, and announced plans to release it. Kid Rock, real name ROBERT RITCHIE, immediately obtained a temporary ban on the distribution of the sex tape, claiming Stapp was the last person to have possession of the video. On Friday (30MAR07), Stapp, 33, settled his invasion of privacy suit against WW Red Light District, who have agreed to withhold the tape from distribution. The firm also admitted they did not hold the rights to the recording. Stapp's lawyer WILLIAM SAYEGH refused to disclose the terms of the agreement, but said it was "in Scott Stapp's favour".
