Meg White's label slams sex tape gossip

Meg White's UK record label XL has slammed gossip websites for claiming she is the star of a new sex tape that has been circulating online.

The White Stripes drummer, who is currently suffering from acute anxiety, became the subject of several internet blogs yesterday after a video featuring a Meg White lookalike surfaced.

XL has refuted all allegations that it is actually White in the video and has claimed the recording is in "bad taste".

In a statement it said: "We [as a label] believe some people have a very twisted sense of humour and this prank is in particularly bad taste.

"The tape circulating on the internet as featuring Meg White is fake. It’s definitely not Meg."
