It's the end of an era, people — a hairy, sometimes overwaxed, and cheesy era of pics of nekkid men photographed supposedly for her pleasure. Alternately dubbed "the magazine for women," and then "entertainment for women," Playgirl is gone after 35 years! They say that in order to properly mourn something, you have to know what you've lost. Well, I hardly knew ye, Playgirl, but let's take a highly random walk down bohunk lane . . .

I'm not sure if I would have started watching Bravo's Make Me a Supermodel had the writers' strike not been in full swing when it started, but the show has become one of my favorite guilty pleasures. In some ways, the show proves how silly America's Next Top Model can be; Supermodel is way harsher than anything Tyra can bring.
I blame the ridiculous challenges for sucking me in so fast. They started with having the guys and girls get cozy together on a park bench and only got steamier from there. Thongs on the runway? Lingerie-clad boudoir photographs? Completely nude posing? Check, check, and check.
Where do you go from there? Well, if tonight's episode is any indication, apparently you go into a water tank with a ginormous yellow boa constrictor. Why do those things even go together? But hey, not complaining — the crazier the assignments are, the better this show gets.
Have any of you been watching? Have you picked your favorites? To watch a preview for the snake challenge (warning: you may be able to figure out who gets kicked off at the start of the episode), just read more
While America's Next Top Model takes a break, Bravo is trying its own hand at a modeling competition. Hosted by Niki Taylor and Tyson Beckford, Make Me a Supermodel — which had its official premiere episode last night — is Bravo's first stab at doing a show where audience votes determine the winner. Of course, for that to work, the show needs an audience, so tell me: Are you watching?

I know I'm not the only girl who fantasizes about kicking ass. To give Britney some love, and pay homage to her glory days (there's still time Britney!), here is a thrilling video that makes me want to kick some ass! Her morphing from vixen to vixen reminds me of what I always loved about the TV show "Alias" - the thrill of a secret identity, and, kicking some ass! Her Jeremy Scott-esque turquoise airplane stewardess outfit is my fave; way to get into the mile high club Britney! Then there's the flame haired vixen on the back of Tyson Beckford's bike (bitch). Another favorite part is when she's slithering up the side of a building, and the hottie whom she intoxicates the next minute. Kick ass.
As you all know I attended Fashion Week Live last night. It was a blast! While the runway show was the main thrill, the pre-party and goodie bag were added bonuses. I am waiting for more pictures from the event but wanted to share some highlights with you. Also, a big thank you to Sephora for my golden ticket!
Some highlights were:
Stay tuned for hopefully more photos from the event!
Naomi and Tyson took turns being naked in their shots for a new Pirelli ad campaign. She was obviously in a very calm mood for the shoot. Now she has more to be happy about. British prosecutors have decided not to charge her with assault for an alleged incident with one of the many women who claim Naomi hurt them. Despite being charged with assault multiple times, Naomi says that the claims are just exaggerated. She says:
"It's been really like a tough year in terms of like the accusations and stuff like that. It's been very hurtful and blown out of proportion," she says. "But I can't stop getting on with my life. ... I can't pay too much attention to this negative stuff. I don't like to live in the negative. I like to stay in the present moment and stay positive."
She adds, "I have to be very careful who I'm around, what I say, who's around me. I cannot be with someone on my own any more because I don't know the agendas that people have. I've had to learn from my mistakes but I don't harbor grudges."
Looking ahead, she says, "I just want to have my health every day and my family's health. I'm happy right now. I know not every day's going to be great. I don't drink, I don't do drugs anymore and I feel great about that."
But she isn't quite off the hook yet. Next month she's due back in court for throwing her cell phone at her maid over a pair of jeans. Tyson's lucky he got out of the Pirelli shoot unscathed. For more pics of the two just read more
