Celebrity Sex scandal titillates Indonesians
An internet porn scandal involving a starlet who once interviewed Hillary Clinton on live television, another celebrity with links to Australia and the male singer in a fantastically successful teen pop band has erupted in Indonesia.
(factoid: Indonesia, with a population of over 200 million is the largest Muslim country in the world).
At least two explicit sex videos are circulating widely, with ordinary Indonesians so captivated they are watching them on mobile phones in offices and while travelling on public buses.
More than 30 further recordings are said to exist, all of them allegedly featuring pop star Nazriel "Ariel" Irham, lead singer in the pop band Peterpan, having sex with a range of nubile young celebrities.
They are all said to have been on a laptop belonging to Ariel that was recently stolen.
The affair, dubbed "Peterporn", has piqued the interest of authorities from the national police up to Vice-President Boediono, whose spokesman said he was "deeply concerned about the negative impact these porn videos could have on our children".
One of the actresses implicated in the scandal is Luna Maya, a part-Austrian movie and soap star who was until this week host of the country's most popular music show on television, Dahsyat (Awesome).
Following the emergence of the sex videos, Maya has taken leave from the program, which famously featured an exclusive interview with the US Secretary of State during Mrs Clinton's visit to Jakarta last year.
Among facts revealed to Maya during that hard-hitting encounter were the former first lady's love of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones "because I am someone who loves the music of my youth".

The youth of Indonesia now has a special reason to love the music of Peterpan, as the scandal gains momentum.
Daily newspaper Koran Tempo reported that the videos were hugely popular among high-school students using internet cafes, and the affair has dominated social networking medium Twitter.
Maya is in a relationship with Ariel, and the pair feature together in commercials for Lux soap.
The soap's manufacturer, the multinational company Unilever, announced on Wednesday that it would be scrapping the advertising campaign.
The existence of a sex tape featuring the pair presumably raises little more than eyebrows, but the woman implicated in a second "Peterporn" video, soapie starlet Cut Tari, has caused more serious problems, given that she has been married for six years.
