The Beauty and the Priest insist they did not have sex, but she appears to have told at least one lie - and there's a damning videotape to prove it.

On the day Laura DeFilippo was caught on camera with Msgr. Eugene Clark at a Hamptons motel, she allegedly had told her husband they were heading to a storage facility 30 miles away in Riverhead, L.I., to sort through some books.

Instead, the telltale tape made by her husband's private eye reveals DeFilippo picked Clark up at the St. Patrick's Cathedral rectory - and drove to the White Sands Motel in Amagansett, L.I., on July 21.

They made only one stop - to pick up some fast food for the road, the investigator told the Daily News.

When they got to the motel at 11:07 a.m., the tape showed the 79-year-old rector of St. Pat's walking into the motel office while his leggy companion sat in the van and reapplied her lipstick.
