Bidding War For Tupac Sex Tape
(TMZ) Two porn companies are going head-to-head in a ferocious battle to buy the rights to the Tupac Shakur sex tape ... and TMZ has learned the first bid is well into 6-figures.

Sources close to the person in possession of the tape tell us ... neither company has actually laid eyes on the footage ... but both sites are serious about acquiring the rights.

TMZ has confirmed ... one of the potential buyers is a site called YouPorn -- and YouPorn honcho Corey Price tells us the site has made an official offer to pay $150k for the tape.

According to sources, the person in possession of the tape believes the offer is "way too low" -- and is willing to hold out for more money.

We're told the seller has been in contact with a second, unidentified porn site, which has vowed to to beat the current offer -- but only if it can screen the footage first.

As TMZ first reported, the footage was shot in 1991 ... and it features the late rapper receiving oral sex from a woman while rapping, drinking and smoking a blunt at a house party. more on this story

Vince Gill's Guitar Slinger Coming This Month
MCA Records has announced an October 24th release date for Vince Gill's new studio album Guitar Slinger. Here is what they have to say about it:

This album includes some of the most poignant and moving songs of his career, such as the current single, "Threaten Me With Heaven," as well as "Bread and Water" and "If I Die." But the album also features fun, upbeat songs as well, and serves as a wonderful showplace for his guitar playing. Gill wrote every song on the album, which was the first project recorded from start to finish at his new home studio.

"I feel like the emphasis has been on the songs and the songs have gotten better," he says. "They really run the gamut of what they are about, how they feel, how they sound. It's not an all-traditional record, it's not an all-contemporary record; it's all over the map, like I kind of have always been. But it doesn't feel out of step with anything I've done previously." more on this story

(TMZ) Brooke Mueller is suing the rehab facility she trusted for treatment, claiming the facility SOLD confidential medical information to the media ... TMZ has learned.

Brooke's beef is with the The Canyon rehab facility in Malibu -- where she secretly sought help in February 2010 -- at the peak of her domestic violence case against Charlie Sheen.

According to the lawsuit, days after she checked in, news broke that Brooke was seeking treatment for substance abuse ... and Brooke claims rehab staff members leaked the info.

TMZ broke the story after the leak ... someone was sending Brooke's patient admissions document to members of the media ... including TMZ, and the form very specifically outlined Brooke's problems. TMZ never published info from the document.
