Hot or Not? Victoria Beckham in Armani Underwear

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 16:56:00 GMT

Victoria Beckham has always struck us as the kind of woman Brits go crazy for, but the rest of the world cannot get into. If she weren't married to the top footballer, would the world remember her or would she just fall into obscurity, along with the rest of the Spice Girls?

Having recently signed a 12-million-pound modeling deal, Victoria will definitely be in the public eye on her own a lot more, and, if this keeps up, might be able to win us over...

'There are loads of things I don't like about my body', she said. 'I've got so much saggy skin on my stomach.'
The pictures of Victoria, which will grace billboards and magazines are from her first shoot in the three-year multi-million pound deal.

What do you think of her new Armani campaign? Are we done with her, can we move on?

While You Were Sleeping: Olympic Mania

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:12:00 GMT

The 1982 and 1986 gubernatorial elections in California do not bode well for Obama's candidacy in 2008-- in a roundabout but interesting way. (As you may have heard, the troubled campaign picked Senate lion Joe Biden to do its Vice Presidential politicking.)

Interestingly, half of this country's conservatives think houses of worship should leave politics alone, up 20% from just a few years ago.

Two scary car crashes this weekend involving celebrities: David and Victoria Beckham as well as four members of Helena Bonham Carter's family...

[Bonham Carter's] cousin Fiona Bonham Carter, 51, escaped with a broken shoulder. But Fiona's son Marcus Egerton-Warburton, 14, her mother Brenda, 74, and stepfather Francis Kirkwood, 75, all died. Fiona's sister-in-law Kay Boardman, 54, also perished in the crash...
[David Beckham was] on the way to Nice airport to catch his plane to China, the pair was involved in a horrific crash, which left their black BMW with a smashed windscreen and extensive damage along the passenger side. David Beckham reportedly smashed the car laterally into a wall - leaving his wife severely shaken.

Beckham was photographed embracing a tearful Victoria in the car and comforting her, before he raced to the departure lounge with her father Tony Adams. Beckham was forced to run to catch his flight, leaving his distraught partner with the wrecked car. [via Starpulse]

A man was arrested for crashing the Olympics while wearing a tutu and women's underwear.

The New York Press on gymnasts who didn't make the cut at the Olympic trials: "Instead of going on to win medals, they have to dress up likes fantasy sailors and do a strip tease to earn a few bucks." See what the writer is talking about here.

This woman points out what we've noticed for a long time: female volleyball players play in sexy outfits, but dudes don't have to wear Speedos. Why is that?

We still don't know who Maxim's #1 girl Marisa Miller is, but Victoria's Secret certainly does...

Olympian Alain Baxter Trying To Get Himself More, Um, Exposure

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:07:00 GMT

Alain Baxter is a Scottish skier who won a Bronze in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. However, following a puff from a Vick's inhaler, which had traces of meth, a controversial decision by the IOC stripped him of that medal-- despite his having been cleared of wrongdoing.

Now, in a bid to raise his profile ahead of the 2010 games, he's going to streak down a mountain. Not really, but we do get a partially-nude photo from his calendar out of the deal...

According to the Scottish Sun, Baxter's

desperate for sponsors’ cash as he hits the comeback trail.
So the 34-year-old Superstars telly ace decided to "do a Beckham" by peeling off for his own nude fund-raising calender.
Last night Alain of Stirling, said: "I want to be on the podium in 2010 at the Winter Olympics. But I need help to continue my training."

Wife Sheila added: "I told Alain he needed more exposure and he took it literally."

Sheila also added, albeit not in the Sun story, that she thinks her husband is almost as good looking as David Beckham. Almost? Why, thanks, darling...

Anyway, what do you think? Better than Becks? And would you want to see more photos from this session, when and if we locate them?

Woman Fined By Her Town After Two Great Years Of All-Night Sex

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 19:30:00 GMT

We spent an hour looking for a good, non-pornographic photo of a couple banging a headboard, then gave up.

It was probably worth the couple hundred English quid this woman paid for her 24-month-long run as the neighborhood's loudest sex fiend...

1) Kerry Norris is a 29-year-old with a boyfriend named Adam Hinton, who is probably bragging his ass off every night at the local pub. (Yes, he's actually named in the news article, which we thought was against the media's better judgment most of the time.)

2) Kerry lives in a three-story apartment building and spents her nights banging the hell out of herself and her boyfriend. Sometimes, their sex sessions last until six o'clock in the damn morning.

3) Neighbors have been complaining to the town for years, mentioning that Norris sunbathes topless even when there are workers doing construction on neighboring apartments. Apparently, Norris and Hinton bang their headboard so loud that their neighbors had to discontinue using the room on the opposite side of the wall for sleeping. (And, here's the real kicker: the girl who was sleeping there now wets the bed and has "nightmares.) For some reason, nothing has come of it. Until now.

4) Norris had only this to say to inquiring media minds:

"I have a normal sex life.”

While You Were Sleeping: We'll Score Or Go Topless For You

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:48:00 GMT

Don't you wish America's Next Top Models were making sex tapes, too?

Isn't this entrapment? An Ohio man came upon a topless woman in a park. The woman, noting that the park was empty, asked him to take out his dick. He obliged and was promptly arrested as part of a sting operation.

Did you hear about the naked airplane passenger?

An American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles was diverted to Oklahoma City on Friday after a passenger stripped nude and later tried to open an emergency exit door before being subdued by members of a professional soccer team and others, the FBI said.

If you're going to kill yourself by jumping in front of a train, the least you could do is not traumatize the driver for life by staring into his eyes.

Neil Young talked about living with war (both the album and the state of being) on Charlie Rose. Not news, but you should check it out anyway.

More than 5,000 people donated to a guy running for office in nowhere Kansas after a cartoon about his candidacy took off on the internet. (To put things in perspective: he shattered previous records of only a few hundred people ever donating in such a race.)

An English footballer, scoreless since 2006, has vowed to score

five goals in this season’s push for promotion. If he is not successful then he and the rest of the United first team will get their kit off and pose for a topless calendar with the proceeds going to charity.

Topless soccer players? Come on, dudes... if you were serious, it would be a calendar with the full monty.

Scanner Roundtable: Does Stubble = Sex(ier)?

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:35:00 GMT

A new research study has concluded that women 18 to 44 overwhelmingly prefer men with stubble to men who are clean shaven or have beards. The research also goes a long way toward explaining this strange phenomenon and the answer is, well... maybe you already figured it out.

The study was conducted by psychologists at Britain's Northumbria University and concluded that

that stubbly men may offer women the best worlds - not too strongly masculine, but mature and with the potential to grow a full beard.
The researchers carried out the study using computer technology to alter pictures of 15 men’s faces so that they displayed different degrees of hairiness. Five levels of facial hair were used - clean-shaven, light stubble, heavy stubble, light beard and full beard.
The pictures were shown to 76 women who were asked to rate them for masculinity, aggression, dominance, attractiveness, age, and social maturity. They were also asked how desirable each man would be as a short-term or long-term partner.

Meanwhile, the study determined that men with beards look approxamitely five years older than they really are, plus are considered the least attractive of the five levels of facial-hair thickness. Clearly, Scanner Emily was not invited to participate in this survey.

[E]xperts in human evolution say that that facial hair may be a signal of aggression because it boosts the apparent size of the lower jaw, emphasising the teeth as weapons.

How bizarre... and, um, interesting. Although we don't recall Mike Tyson having any stubble when he bit Evander Holyfield's ear... or even Russell Crowe as anything but clean cut when he turned that phone into a javelin. Oh well... maybe you can help us understand the whole stubble thing, for starters. Does anyone out there prefer men with stubble? Or prefer men not to have it? Why?

Football Star's Hooker Scandal Hilariously Embarrassing

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 01 May 2008 17:30:00 GMT

The David Beckham of Brazil is caught in the Sex Scandal of the Week, featuring three hookers, drug allegations, the cops, and one humiliating revelation.

Ronaldo, the international football star, had a quarrel with 3 hookers he brought back to his hotel room in Brazil. He discovered too late that they were transvestites.

Poor Ronaldo... first, someone names him Ronaldo (ouch), then he becomes internationally famous and therefore has to hide his sexual proclivities, then those sexual proclivities come out in full force, splashed all across the large-print tabloids of South America.

To add insult to injury, after offering each individual $600 (to go away... or to stay?), one demanded 30 large or "she" would call her friends in the media. That unnamed transvestite, his/her feelings hurt, went to the police with the story that Ronaldo had asked her to pick up some drugs, although cops aren't buying her story at all.

All right, be honest now... do these look like men or women?

David Beckham and Friend Protect Their Balls?

Emily Farris — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:51:00 GMT

We'd like to know what David Beckham and his teammate are doing below the belt. Whatever it is, it's kind-of hot.

Are they merely protecting their balls from the ball? Is this normal? They're holding on a little tight, don't you think? We don't watch enough football to know for sure, though.

Victoria Beckham is Proud of David's "25-Foot Penis," And Rightfully So

"I'm proud to see his penis 25 foot tall. It's great. It's huge. It's enormous. Massive. If I looked like that I'd walk down the street in my panties too."

Looks a little stuffed, if you ask us. But we're always the proudest of the pictures that make us look really, really good.

David Beckham "Is a Spice Boy" and Other Important Facts

Emily Farris — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:33:00 GMT

Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham was on Larry King Live last night. We didn't catch it, but not to worry — People had people on it, and they've recapped the entire thing for us. Here's what we learned:

1. There's more to Posh than just being a Mummy who makes her kids clean their teeth.
2. David Beckham is "a Spice Boy."
3. Larry King is avuncular.
4. Tom Cruise is not pushing Scientology on the ~~Posh~~ Beckham family. Or so says Posh.
5. She recently styled Jack Nicholson for a magazine shoot. Impressive, Vicki. Impressive.
