Easy As 'Pie'

THE 'PIE' WHO LOVED ME Turns out one site that is getting a lot of action ain't all it's cracked up to be. Fans of ''American Pie 2'' have spent hours downloading from the site, only to find themselves gaping at a French porn movie with the same title. That there have been so few leaks regarding the real McCoy is no surprise: When ''Pie'' writer Adam Herz began circulating the sequel's script, he not only numbered and watermarked the drafts, but coded them. ''If my script said, 'Jim [played by Jason Biggs] walks through the door,' yours might say, 'Jim enters through the door,''' says Herz. ''That way, if it [hit] the Internet, we'd know exactly who sent it.'' Not that Herz was completely humorless about his paranoia: ''The first script I wrote under the pseudonym Rudolpho M. Venezuela, and was called 'Secret Disguise','' he says. ''Once some information leaked out, it was called 'Semisecret Disguise'; then it was 'The Not-So-Secret Disguise' by Rudolpho It's-Not-So-Funny-Anymore Venezuela. Finally, it was 'American Pie 2: The Heretic by Satan.''' Such a hellion.
