VH-1 is airing a documentary next month called Hollywood Blackmail, a behind-the-scenes look at the "shadow world of extortionists and con-men who prey on the rich and famous." Scandalous! One of the victims profiled is none other than Girls Gone Wild meatstick Joe Francis, who managed to put aside shilling dirty videos of Eliot Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupré long enough to sit down and talk about the time he was bound, gagged, and coerced into saying weirdly homosexual things at gunpoint by Hollywood conman Darnell Riley—a story Radar actually broke back in September 2005.

Riley made a video of the affair and eventually tried to get Francis to fork over $500,000 grand for the tape, but Meatstick Joe refused because he has integrity or something. The smooth-talking Riley, who is currently serving eight years for robbery and extortion, was previously notable for breaking into the Malibu home of Paris Hilton.

Anyway, the plight of poor, abused, totally sympathetic Joe Francis is definitely worth a look, if for no other reason than to derive satisfaction from reading about the time Francis said, "I'm from Boys Gone Wild, and I like it up the ass."
