Kim Kardashian's Ass Shoot Is Helping Ray J Get Paid

Ray J’s sex tape income generally hovers around $30,000 a month, according to Vivid Entertainment. However, Kim’s naked Paper photoshoot has sent sales of the boring tape into overdrive. As TMZ puns it, it’s “a real ass-tronomical increase”:

The photos triggered renewed interest in “Kim K Superstar,” and our sources at Vivid Entertainment say sales of the video have dramatically spiked … so much so, Ray J will pocket $50K from the last week alone … way up from what’s he’s been getting.

So now Kim K Superstar (not to be confused with Kim Kardashian Hollywood) is Vivid’s best-seller, surpassing Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee. Guess this means Ray J is okay financially, though on last night’s episode of Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood, his ex-assistant accused him of renting his cars. Shrug.
