French paparazzo Jean-Claude Elfassi and French gossip magazine Public both claim to have an Adele sex tape. Elfassi promises to post the video to his “scoop blog” tomorrow (Friday, February 17, 2012).
Public says that an ex-boyfriend is releasing the sex tape for “revenge”.

ICSTDB remains skeptical until we actually see the video.
UPDATE (February 17, 11:00 EST): Public published some still images from the alleged sex tape today.

These images supposedly show Adele and an ex-boyfriend (the unnamed dude she disses in many songs) in the backseat of his car. Adele denies it’s her in the images and threatens legal action.
UPDATE (February 18, just after midnight): E! declares the Public Adele sex tape story 100% false. E! also insists:
On the cover of the tabloid rag, out today, the headlines blares, “Exclusif! Adele La sex tape!” with a screengrab of a woman who, on even the most cursory of inspections, doesn’t come close to resembling the award winner.
ICSTDB has no idea if that’s really Adele or not, but there’s definitely a strong resemblance.
The Daily Star (London tabloid) also declares the sex tape bogus. The Star reporter claims to have seen video footage, not just the still images printed in Public.
Stills apparently from the video appeared in the magazine and showed a mystery woman lying seductively on what appears to be the back seat of a car.
Grainy footage shows the unknown blonde dressed in a black top and skirt making suggestive moves towards the camera before having sex.
