Farrah Abraham Signs Sex Tape Deal For Nearly $1 Million

It appears that Farrah Abraham has signed on the dotted line. About three weeks after she filmed a sex tape with adult film star James Deen -- and a couple weeks of very public negotiations -- the 21-year-old former "Teen Mom" star, 21, has reportedly landed a deal with porn company Vivid Entertainment. According to TMZ, Abraham has signed a contract with Vivid's Steve Hirsch for nearly a million dollars. The site also reports that the film now has its raunchy title: "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom."

The lucrative payday is a little bit less than Abraham had publicly hoped for. Copping to the existence of the tape to Us Weekly on April 10, Abraham mused, "I will not be settling for anything less than a couple million." In the days that followed, Abraham was visiting Vivid's offices (in the company of daughter Sophia, 3, and Farrah's father) and lunching with Hirsch as they reportedly hammered out the details of the deal.

Why did Abraham do it in the first place? Sources told Us that she's desperate to revive her career after the September 2012 finale of "Teen Mom" failed to lead to a new reality show. "She tried to recruit a boyfriend for 'Couples Therapy,'" one pal told Us. "But no one would do it."

She mused to Us of the film: "When I'm older, I'll have my best year to look back on."
