A sex tape featuring former child star Jeremy Jackson and porn queen Sky Lopez is about to go public after people reportedly threatened to beat the “Baywatch” actor up if he didn’t hand over the footage.

The 27-year-old, who played David Hasselhoff’s son, Hobie, on the hit TV show, has confessed to “starring” in the explicit footage, but claims he was blackmailed into handing over the tape by a gang of thugs allegedly associated with Lopez.

In a statement issued to TMZ.com, Jackson says, “Listen, this video was made by my best friend. (It’s) between me and a casual sex partner, who just so happened to be a former porn star. I was later physically threatened if I didn’t turn the DVD over to some drug-addicted thugs.

“They said, ‘Sky wanted it back. … That she had turned to God and was changing her life.’

“So I gave it up for HER and so they would not beat me up and ‘make my life hell’ as they had threatened. I was blackmailed.

“This private recording becoming public kinda sucks. But I thought people out there should know the truth and how far some people will go to make a quick buck.”

According to TMZ.com, the 45-minute sex tape is currently being offered to porn Web sites and agencies, but has yet to attract any bidders.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong, who recently broke up with Actress Kate Hudson, tells October’s Men Journal,

“I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn’t one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi, but the fact is that if you are riding your bike five, six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You’re just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone and a lower libido. But you know, I never got any complaints.”

The 36-year-old says he made a mistake letting the public into his relationship with Sheryl Crowe “even though it didn’t feel like a mistake at the time.”

Beyonce Knowles told October’s Marie Claire that she wants to be remembered as more than just a pop star.

“I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl, I wanna be iconic. I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records and I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.”

The Singer, whose album is slated to drop sometime in November, also talked about her alter ego Sasha.

“As Sasha, I have out of body experiences. If I cut my leg, if I fall, I don’t even feel it. I’m so fearless, I’m not aware of my face or my body.”
