Paul @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, June 29, 2009

Kendra Wilkinson and NFL player Hank Baskett became husband and wife on Saturday at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.

The newlyweds got married at around 7pm out in the back garden with over 500 guests watching including Bridget Marquardt, Holly Madison and of course Hugh Hefner.

Michael Barin provided Kendra with over $100,000 in jewlyerywhich included 4.25-carat platinum drop earrings, a 2.5-carat platinum pendant and a 4.5-carat bracelet.

Hank and his groomsmen all wore white and Kendra’s brother, Colin, walked her down the aisle after she changed her mind (Hugh Hefner was originally supposed to - akward).

Holly who along with Bridget was part of Kendra’s bridesmaids said “she looked like a princess. It was a beautiful setting for a wedding. It was a princess dress, which was fitting. It was really pretty and she looked gorgeous. They’re definitely ready for their honeymoon now. They need a vacation.”

Kendra and Hank had their first dance to “I Cross My Heart” by George Strait, she then had her second dance with Hugh Hefner.

Kendra soon took to her blog to not only blog about being married but also promote her E! show she says…

Olivia Munn Goes Topless In Playboy - See Photos

Paul @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, June 22, 2009

I didn’t know Olivia Munn was going to be doing Playboy Magazine until I came across these very very hot pictures.

I know the title says she is topless but she isn’t full on topless and nude, but she is posing without her top - she just has her hairs and hands blocking her boobs.

Does that make sense? It probably doesn’t but who cares, it’s always nice to have a playboy post on a Monday and even nicer to have an Olivia Munn post.

I think since Olivia Munn is in the July/August issue, that means Heidi Montag will be in the August/September issue of Playboy.

What’s On Sarah Palin Toenails?

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood  | Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Huffington Post is catching some grief over a post by Anya Strzemien titled “Sarah Palin’s Toenails: What’s Painted On Them? (PHOTOS, POLL).” Apparently, the Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential nominee had some manner of decorative adornment on her nails which were in display in some orange strappy sandals:

While some are taking HuffPo to task for journalistic silliness and questioning whether they have a foot fetish, the most prevalent theme of the critics is whether it’s sexist to comment on how a female public figure looks.

We’ve said many times that focus on a woman’s body parts instead of her ideas and actions is sexist, and that such belittling is aimed at women on both the left and right by both men and women. In this case, some will argue that HuffPo is just having a little fun. However the comments posted after the stroy are classist, sexist, and hateful, which can’t be a surprise to Huffpo. So what about encouraging comments that you know are going to be a mysogyny fest? Is that sexist, too?

Teresa Kopec, who tipped me to the story via Twitter, observes, “There is a lot of anti-woman BS that is going around lately against Palin, Sotomayor, the women targeted by Playboy, etc.”

While perhaps it’s splitting hairs, I would distinguish between sexism and double standards. There’s not much doubt that the way women look is more commented upon than the way men look. That doesn’t necessarily translate into thinking women’s intellects or skills are less important than those of men.

I don’t think, for example, that Hillary Clinton or Sonia Sotomayor have been viewed as silly sex objects. It’s certainly true that Clinton’s appearance has been at issue as long as I can recall her being in public life (which is to say, since 1991 or so). When she was First Lady, her hairdo was especially commented on, as was her choice of pantsuits vice dresses. And WaPo’s Robin Givhan devoted a whole story on C1 to Hillary Clinton’s cleavage. And then there was the case of Condoleezza Rice’s commanding clothes which, according to a C1 story in WaPo, spoke of “sex and power,” also from Givhan.

Do we comment like that on how male public officials dress? No, we don’t.

To be sure, there’s the occasional story on John Bolton’s hair or Dick Cheney’s Auschwitz outfit or John McCain’s $520 Ferragamo loafers. But they’re decidedly less common.

Still, Clinton is almost universally perceived as an extraordinarily bright and competent woman. She catapulted to the United States Senate despite no real record of her own and was considered the hands-down frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination six years later. And Sotomayor’s words and judicial record, not her toenails or fashion sense, are what we’re focusing on.

Palin is almost a separate case. She was a virtual unknown on the national scene when McCain tabbed her, so her national image was forged by instant impression. By vice presidential standards, she’s extraordinarily attractive. She’s young and a former beauty queen. Further, she dresses in a way that plays up her sexuality. Why, a recent scientifical study found that Palin’s sexiness hurt the ticket. Naturally, the news of said study sparked a round of blogospheric discussion about Palin’s hotness and a backlash against bloggers talking about Palin’s hotness.

Still, while the focus on her appearance goes well beyond what would be normal for a male candidate, it’s not like there wasn’t plenty of commentary on her preparation for the job. Indeed, I’m sure she’d rather we spent more time talking about her legs.

As to this particular controversy, it’s a silly blog post and some of the commentary it drew was particularly unattractive. Palin is a polarizing figure, which doesn’t help. Then again, one can scarcely imagine, say, Tim Pawlenty appearing at a public event in jean shorts and sandals, the male analog to what Palin was photographed in.

Angelina Jolie Tops Oprah on Forbes 100 List

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood  | Thursday, June 4, 2009

Angelina Jolie has topped Oprah Winfrey to become the World’s Most Powerful Celebrity, according Forbes magazine. The methodology is, shall we say, unclear. But here’s what they say about Jolie:

Eclectic actress and gossip-column favorite dethrones media maven Oprah Winfrey atop this year’s Celebrity 100. Jolie has always been able to attract tabloid attention and Oscar nods, but this year, she’s finally figured out a way to make serious money. Her most recent blockbuster, Wanted, proved this mother of six’s sweet spot is action films; the movie earned $340 million at the box office. Up next: Salt, in which Jolie plays a CIA officer accused of being a spy.

Oddly, Oprah earned a whole order of magnitude more money — $275 millionto Jolie’s paltry $27 — but, since they don’t tell us what factors were used or how they were weighed, who’s to criticize. And, certainly, Jolie’s hotter. (Were I employed by Playboy magazine, I would compile a list. As it is, I shall pass.)

But here’s an odd one for you:

About halfway down the list sits a very familiar face: President Barack Obama. At No. 49, Obama’s the first sitting head of state to appear on this Forbes fixture because of his worldwide fame, his historic election and his career as a best-selling author.

On what planet is Angelina Jolie more powerful than Barack Obama?

Holly Madison to Perform in Peep Show

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Friday, May 15, 2009

Holly Madison has a new job lined and, yes fellas, it involves wearing next to nothing.

The ‘Girls Next Door’ star has revealed to PEOPLE that she’ll be replacing Kelly Monaco in the Las Vegas-based burlesque ‘PEEPSHOW’ beginning in June.

“I feel like this is perfect for me. I’ve always wanted to be in a really classy, sexy burlesque show.”

‘PEEPSHOW‘ is a topless, burlesque-style show that currently resembles a reunion show for ‘Dancing With the Stars’ contestants. Monaco along with Spice Girl singer Melanie Brown are in the cast, and of course Madison was on ‘Stars’ as well.

Neither Monaco nor Brown go topless in the show and even though she has plenty of experience in this area, Madison is also expected to keep covered up.

“It’s going to be a blast,” Madison, 30, said, adding that she feels her ‘Dancing’ experience will help.

“It’s given me a lot more confidence. From being on that show, it will definitely help me stick to a really strict workout routine.”

Heidi Montag Poses Nude for Playboy

Allie @ Gone Hollywood  | Friday, May 8, 2009

Opponents – and even some fans – of “The Hills” might think viewers have seen too much of Heidi Montag. But now, it appears people are about to see a lot more.

Heidi Montag will appear in an upcoming issue of Playboy, possibly the July issue, a source has confirmed to Access Hollywood.

It was previously reported the reality starlet was in talks with the magazine for a spread. However, when contacted by Access Hollywood, a spokesperson for Playboy said they had no comment on the story.

Heidi and her “Hills” paramour Spencer Pratt tied the knot on April 25 in Pasadena, Calif. The couple then jetted off to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for their honeymoon. However, they cut their trip short due to the Swine Flu epidemic.

Prior to returning home, the couple spoke with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush about the precautions they were taking while on vacation.

“I have not taken the [surgical] mask off since I was eating my bacon cheeseburger and CNN came on and I absolutely had a heart attack,” Spencer told Billy. “Let’s put it this way. I keep my hands in the sink almost all day just washing them.”

And while some might say stripping down for Playboy is extreme, it’s nothing compared to walking down the aisle, according to Heidi.

“Getting married has been the craziest yet best experience of my life,” she wrote on her Twitter page following her wedding.

Robert Downey, Jr. To Play Hugh Hefner?

Roberta @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, May 4, 2009

Can you imagine Robert Downey, Jr. as Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner?

Downey has already said that it’s something that he wants to do, but now Hef himself says it’s a go.

Hefner says, “Downey and I have talked about it and it is a very real possibility. He’s a marvelous actor and I would be honored if he decided to do it.”

Downey already does the playboy role nicely, especially as Tony Stark in the Iron Man movie(s). Do you think it will convert nicely to the big screen when he has three blondes on his arm?

The movie, tentatively titled, “Playboy”, is said to be about the colorful past of the magazine founder and icon of the sexual revolution. “Playboy” will be directed by Brett Ratner and has been in the works for almost a year now.

Is it a good casting decision?

Carlie Christine Nude Playboy Model, Cheerleader Coach

Freddy @ Gone Hollywood  | Friday, April 17, 2009

Carlie Becker was the cheerleading coach at Casa Roble High School until some girls she cut from the squad outed her as a Playboy model Carlie Christine.   Apparently, that didn’t go over so well with the authorities, who promptly fired her.

CBS13 broke the news:

She posed nude and now she is out of a job. CBS13 went to Casa Robles High School to find out about the cheerleading coach turned Playboy centerfold.  “The girls are supposed to look up their coaches,” says one concerned parent.

She bared all, all over the internet. Casa Robles High School officials in Orangevale confirm with CBS13 that their girl’s cheerleading coach, Carlie Christine, was the one who posed nude in a playboy centerfold. Christine is also Playboy’s ‘cyber girl of the week.’

For obvious reasons we can only show a few of many provocative poses from Playboy.

Parents and some students, who did not want to be identified, exposed the coach to school officials after rumors started slowly getting out that she had posed nude.  What apparently uncovered the coach was when some girls didn’t make the cheerleading squad because they had a few unexcused absences from school. Their parents then made copies of Christine and dropped the pictures on the principal’s desk.

Christine was then fired from her position at Casa Robles High School. “And I was in shock that I knew the girls had seen it and knew about it,” a parent told CBS13.

A lot of parents and faculty are talking and looking.  “The whole football team has seen it,” says one parent.

They actually don’t show any of the Playboy pics, the lousy bums.  And they’re not good journalists, either.

DeadSpin’s Rick Chander has the deets:

There is actually no such thing as the “Casa Robles” High School referred to in the CBS13 story, but Casa Roble Fundamental High School is located near Sacramento (”Welcome to Ram Country”). Christine was featured as Playboy’s Cyber Girl of the Week (photos NSFW), for the second week in February. Why did this have to happen now, just three days before junior prom?

According to The Week, she was coaching under the name “Carlie Becker.”

At any rate, without further ado, the NSFW pics are below the fold.
