八卦新闻: The aftermath of Charlie Sheen's HIV confession last week keeps getting more and more salacious (salacious [səˈleɪʃəs] expressing sexual interest, or containing too much sexual detail. salacious gossip. ). Following reports of drug use, prostitutes and blackmail, Radar Online is claiming it has viewed several videos of the actor smoking a crack pipe and performing oral sex on another man. This is apparently not the first time the tapes have surfaced. Radar reports that they were previously at the centre of a $20 million lawsuit filed by the other man in the videos. The plaintiff claimed Charlie, 50, gave him herpes after insisting he had "no venereal ( [vəˈnɪəriəl] a disease that is spread when people have sex. 性病. ) diseases". According to the man, he and Charlie engaged in "mutual oral copulation, mutual self-gratification(the indulgence or satisfaction of one's own desires. "this culture of instant self-gratification".), rubbing and massaging each other, play-wrestling嬉笑打闹, 纠缠, 缠绵, licking and [unprotected] intercourse". Radar claims the lawsuit was settled out of court 庭外和解 after the former Two and a Half Men star learned of the tapes' existence. As part of the payoff, Charlie was given the original videos, which he destroyed. Unfortunately for him, bootleg copies survived and were offered to Radar Online. "Charlie had his team buy it off the market and settle the lawsuit because he and his camp believed it could destroy his life if it ever got out," said a source. "He must be quaking in his boots(quake/shake in one's boots/shoes 两脚打颤 (idiomatic) Tremble with apprehension. To be very frightened, scared, or nervous.
