Nude Jennifer Hawkins poses on the cover of Marie Claire without being photoshopped. Some women are outraged.
I will be examining the photo and I'll get back to you in a week with my thoughts.....Spike:
An Australian model has done the unthinkable and posed nude and un-airbrushed on the cover of an Aussie magazine. However instead of being hailed a hero, she’s getting an earful.
Australian model and 2004 Miss Universe winner Jennifer Hawkins appears completely nude and without any help from Photoshop on the cover of the latest issue of Australian magazine Marie Claire. The issue was meant to promote and celebrate the ordinary woman’s body; however the cover has sparked outcry from Aussie women who say Hawkins, a lingerie model, doesn’t come close to representing “ordinary women.”Hawkins posed for the cover, warts and all so to speak, showing of “every lump, bump, and blemish (not that she has many) free from digital doctoring.” In an interview with the magazine, Hawkins says, "I'm not a stick figure--I thought it would be great to tell women to just be themselves and be confident." It’s a great message, but maybe Hawkins wasn’t the right messenger.
A signed copy of the photograph will be auctioned off and the proceeds donated to The Butterfly Foundation, a charity that provides support for Australians who suffer from eating disorders and negative body image issues.

Joan Rivers not allowed on flight because they were concerned she was a terrorist. Really.
Ok, so guys with bomb making materials are let on planes but Joan Rivers isn't?.....But she should thank the airline for the new material!
From the annals of Taking the New Airport Security Measures a Bit Too Far: Joan Rivers, an old Jewish comedienne whose forte is mocking red-carpet dresses, was prevented from boarding a flight in Costa Rica bound for Newark on Sunday because a Continental agent deemed her passport suspicious. Not because the birthday field says "1933, New York" while her face says "2009, Dr. Hoefflin's office," but because her name is listed as Joan Rosenberg a.k.a. Joan Rivers (Rosenberg is the name of her late husband).
"Do terrorists wear Manolo Blahniks?" Rivers quipped after catching a different flight back to America the next day. No, they don't, and we're left wondering whether the gate agent really had a legitimate concern about Rivers or is just a longtime Johnny Carson fan. We know you can't make security exceptions for someone just because they're a celebrity ... but come on! She's Joan Rivers, the least likely terrorist ever. Then again, terrorism experts are always warning us to anticipate and defend against the next attack, not the previous ones. Sure, most of us expect the next terrorist to be another Islamic fundamentalist, but wouldn't it be the most diabolically genius plan ever if Al Qaeda were somehow able to enlist Joan Rivers?

"Dexter" star Julie Benz cast as a stripper on "Desperate Housewives"!
2009 was a huge year for Julie....2010 looks to be just as big!EW: Julie Benz has bounced back from her shocking Dexter departure with a major role on Desperate Housewives.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Benz — whose character, Rita, succumbed to the most horrific bubble bath in television history in last month’s Dexter finale — has been cast in the recurring role of Debbie, a stripper with a heart of gold and a Masters degree in education. When Susan offers her the chance to transition into a more legitimate career, Deb jumps at it.
Benz is booked for at least three episodes, the first of which is scheduled to air in February.
