A picture of a semi-nude Britney in a store on June 25th, 2007
Britney Spears made another pit stop on her long trip to crazy town. And it really is becoming clearer and clearer that Spears is suffering from severe mental illness, not just immaturity and super selfishness. Life & Style is reporting that on Sunday, the day before her custody hearing, Britney and paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib went to a Betsey Johnson store in a Sherman Oaks, California mall. Shopping for a new sweater or a crazy dress perhaps? No. Why do that at a store when you can strip down to absolute nothingness and flash your unbridled crazy to the other shoppers?

Britney Spears stunned sales staff at a Betsey Johnson store in Sherman Oaks, California on Sunday when she stepped out of a fitting room completely naked. A day before Spears’ bizarre antics outside a Los Angeles courthouse cost her visitation rights to her young son for a month, the singer was stripping in front of shoppers.

Spears and her paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib caused a stir at the upmarket store upon their arrival, and as trendy shoppers watched, Spears grabbed a Betsey Johnson dress and took it to a fitting room. But when she re-appeared, she wasn’t wearing the dress or what she had on when she entered the store.

One store employee who witnessed Spears’ shocking display tells Life & Style magazine, “I was blown away. Britney’s private parts were right in front of me! I grabbed a dress to cover her and she screamed, ‘Get away from me! Don’t you *****ng come near me!’”

After both Britney and Adnan walked back into the dressing room (Brit still naked, of course) the two reportedly spent half an hour in there alone. When they deigned to come out, another employee says that Britney was completely incoherent.

“I couldn’t understand a word she was saying. She was slurring and spitting, and talking with a British accent… I wanted to help her, but she was so mean that I left her alone.”

[From ABC Action News]

I can’t tell if the employee is insinuating that Britney (and possibly Adnan?) did drugs in the dressing room, or that the pair also had sex. Whatever they were doing, it’s clear the employee’s impression was that it was certainly illicit. I can think of few things that bode worse for her mental health than stripping naked in a store and cursing and yelling at people when they try to cover you up. And then doing drugs and/or having sex in a semi-public setting. Well, except for holding one of your kids hostage. That would definitely be worse.

Note by Celebitchy: Splash News reminds us that this isn’t the first time Britney has stripped naked while trying on clothes. The header photo, which shows a little nip and is NSFW, is from June 25, 2007.

Rachel Bilson has shattered the dreams of teenage boys the world over by declining to do nudity. Ever. She revealed this in a Playboy interview. I guess being in Playboy doesn’t mean what I thought it did. Now you can read it for the articles.

Rachel Bilson almost didn’t appear in The Last Kiss because she won’t do nudity, the actress reveals in Playboy.

“Movies can be sexy or sexual without showing things,” the former O.C. star, 26, said in the issue out Friday. “It’s almost a deal breaker. The movie was rated R, and they like to put in nudity wherever they can, but I’m pretty strong willed and believe it can be avoided.”

People

I think this is very determined of her, although she complains that the roles she wants often go to Kirsten Dunst, Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman or Kate Bosworth. Probably because they do nudity! Actually, it’s great that Rachel keeps her clothes on, it proves that the roles she gets are because of her talent rather than her more obvious assets.

If she changes her mind though, she has a great excuse for baring all.

THE O.C. star Rachel Bilson has suffered partial amnesia since cheating death in a teenage car crash.

The actress was in a coma for two days following the smash, which left a friend paralysed - and she has struggled to recall events from her near and distant past since.

The 26-year-old says, “I was involved in a car accident when I was 14. I had a concussion and blacked out. I don’t have much of a memory now.”

PR-Inside

I wish I had an excuse for forgetting, uh, everything. I’d absolutely turn on the waterworks everytime I forgot a birthday and say “But don’t you know I was in a car accident?’

Rachel and her boyfriend Hayden Christensen are the spokespeople for a new campaign Teens For Jeans, where you donate your unwanted jeans to a homeless shelter and receive a 20% discount off your next pair. Aeropostale, the sponsor of the campaign, will also be donating 10,000 pairs of jeans. What good work!

The other day I was really bored, so I stripped off all my clothes in my trailer and took some naked pictures that were only meant to be seen by me. And really, who hasn’t? One of our God-given rights as Americans (or whatever nationality you are – it doesn’t matter, this is a God-given right) is to take private nudie photos whenever you’re bored and know that there will never be any repercussions. If anything, people should respect you more for it. Shockingly, when “High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens did the exact same thing in her trailer, there was a bit of a scandal. I have no idea why that didn’t happen with my photos. Probably because Vanessa’s boobs are about 2 feet higher than mine. Reason 232,388 that I hate her.

Poor Vanessa – who apparently thinks the scandal that resulted from the release of her naked photos was some kind of trauma inflicted upon her, instead of something she did to herself – has rallied, and gave a heart-wrenching interview to Seventeen magazine talking about that devastating time in her life.

“I’m much better now,” the High School Musical star, 18, tells Seventeen magazine for its February issue. “But truthfully I don’t like talking about it.” She now says of the intimate posing session, “It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can.”

Of the tempest that the pictures caused, she says, “It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends and fans, who supported me all along the way.”

Asked how she had been informed that the photos had gone public, Hudgens answers, “I found out from my manager. We heard some story was going to break in the tabloids, and I was like, What?!? A few days later, the picture came out while I Was on vacation in Australia. Thank God, I wasn’t home – it would have sucked if I was at home. So I got to be away from L.A. for about a millisecond. But when I came back, it got kind of crazy.”

Who in the world would have guessed that a young celebrity taking naked photos of herself could have ended up in a scandal? If I were famous, I’d make it my job to make sure that I was in clothes 110% of the time. I would become a Never Nude (bonus points if you catch the reference) and wear jean shorts and a tank top in the shower. What’s the most important lesson Vanessa Hudgens has learned from all this?

“With the Internet these days, you don’t have a personal life. Nothing is private: Everyone knows everything, and they can find out everything about you. You’re not as safe as you think you are, and you have to be aware of the people you’re around.”

[From People]

Is Vanessa saying she’s learned not to email naked photos of herself? She’s sorta vague, but I’m going to interpret her quote the most salacious way possible, and read it that she’s learned that emailing her naked photos is not nearly as safe as she thought it was. JayBird’s goal for next week: only email half of the naked photos I did this week. Thank you, Vanessa Hudgens, for teaching me such a difficult lesson.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is proud of her normal-sized hotness, but she’s not about to tarnish her image or let us know her grooming habits by posing nude in Playboy. Aging lothario Hugh Hefner offered the Ghost Whisperer star a “substantial amount” to pose for the men’s magazine after he saw her bikini pictures, according to In Touch, but her rep confirms that she turned it down. US Weekly reports that no money offers were given, though.

Hewitt sort-of bared all for a Hanes ad that JayBird points out was heavily airbrushed. She could do a similar semi-clothed spread for Playboy. That might cheapen her image and you can’t blame her for turning it down, although if it was seven figures she should go topless at least. It’s not like the checks are coming in. I mean she’s got Ghost Whisperer until it’s derailed by the writer’s strike, but her last movie was Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties. Let’s see - working on a talking cat movie for weeks or baring your boobs for a photoshoot that lasts a few hours? It’s not a hard decision.

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s next movie will be about a hooker housewife scandal in a small town in Texas. It seems like she missed a great opportunity to promote the film with a nude pictorial.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is shown out on 12/5/07, thanks to Splash News. One of her Hanes ads is below.

In desperation to make it into the coveted pool of respected acting, Jessica Simpson is willing to strip. Instead of preparing for roles with acting classes and research the answer, to her, is in getting naked.

“Jessica is in the running for a role that, if she gets it, will put her right on the map in terms of acting. The only hitch is that the script requires a number of quite graphic scenes including a full-frontal nude scene. Jessica is so desperate to land the role and get the industry’s respect that she’s ready to go against her better judgement, and her family, by agreeing to bare all.”

[Entertainment Wise]

Every actor and actress strives for the Oscar. It is the epitome of an acting career and earns respect and recognition of talent. Jessica Simpson’s talent of being the token blond ditz is indeed natural, but hardly Oscar worthy. After struggling to make it into the music scene at the start of her career she hopped on to the reality train to catapult herself into the biz. Now she is desperate to break in to the reputable actress mold.

This is the second offer of cinematic success involving nudity. Earlier she was approached to do a film revolving around a porn star. An Oscar promise came along with the script. Creepy Papa Joe Simpson quickly put the kibosh on the idea and forced Jessica to pass. Instead of the possible statue worthy performance she has taken roles that cash in on her blond with big boobs and no brains staple. Her latest theatrical endeavor, “Blonde Ambition,” bombed in the box office. It was also labeled a disaster.

I hate to agree with Creepy Papa Joe on this one, but I do. Just because you are brave enough to go sans clothing for a role doesn’t mean you have talent. I say preach it Papa Joe. You could probably point an empty paper towel roll at her and make the rolling motion with your hand and Jess would think it was a camera and strip.

PETA scored one of the most desired ladies on the planet for their latest campaign in the fight against fur. Eva Mendes appears nude in the “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked” ad that PETA has made famous. She will also be making a nude appearance in NY today.

“The 33-year-old starlet will be at New York’s Rockefeller Plaza in just a couple hours to unveil her new “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked” ad for the animal rights group. Yup, Mendes appears in her birthday suit. While her chest is strategically covered by her arms and hands, her bare buttocks are in full view.”

[E Online]

Mendes isn’t the first to strip for the animal activists. Pamela Anderson and Christina Applegate have also bared their bods for the campaign. Each made appearances in the buff in hopes of spreading the word that fur is a faux pas. Eva graciously gave an interview to the people behind PETA. She revealed that she has worn fur before due to her ignorance.

“What drew you to the idea of working with PETA on our “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” Campaign?”

“I wasn’t familiar with PETA early in my career. I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so naive that I didn’t have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a fur wrap for the evening and I ignorantly wore it. PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to them and myself to never wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again.”

Over a thousand posters will be circulating through the Big Apple next week and giant billboard will be up in a matter of moments. Don Flood was the lucky photographer that managed to show just enough of Eva’s skin to tease onlookers. To avoid any mob scenes in the city PETA is keeping the location of Eva’s appearance a secret.

How very stealth. You know I think PETA would have more success in using someone who isn’t drop dead gorgeous to threaten nudity. Over half the people that see the ad aren’t going to realize anything is even written on the board with Eva’s rump exposed. Just a suggestion.

Along with the news that the latest Vanessa Hudgens nude pics were taken for her supposed boyfriend and High School Musical costar, Zac Efron, there was a story that she similarly sent nude pics to a guy she had a crush on, Drake Bell, two years ago. Now an ex boyfriend claims that she sent a nude picture to him too - way back when she was 15:

Yet another nude picture of the “High School Musical” star has surfaced - and it was snapped when she was only 15, The Enquirer has learned exclusively.

Vanessa, 18, took the photograph of herself in her bedroom - and sent it to a boyfriend she’d just dumped.

“It was like she was saying: ‘Look what you’re going to miss,’” her then-boyfriend Adam O’Neal, 19, told The Enquirer in an exclusive interview.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, September 24, 2007]

When I first read the headline for this story I thought they meant that the nude photos online were from when she was 15, and that skeeved me out a little. It was clear from the story that they meant that there are more nude photos from when she was younger, though.

The Enquirer reported back before the photos hit the ‘net that they were coming, and I said it sounded a little too convenient that they warned us about them to generate buzz ahead of time. If they’re saying there’s another set of nude pictures they’re probably right and it’s just a matter of time before we see them.

This seems to be Hudgens’ MO - she takes nude pictures of herself and sends them to guys she likes - or in this case the entire world - saying “look at me, I’m so cute.”

Hudgens recently said that she would pose for a men’s magazine, just not for Playboy. I think she means Maxim. At least she’s honest about it and is not trying to play the innocent card:

The High School Musical star, 18, recently admitted to posing naked for snaps for boyfriend ZAC EFRON - which were then posted on the web.

And she says: “I think being a woman and being able to show a sexy side is empowering.

“Being able to show we are comfortable in our skin is a good thing. I totally would pose for a sexy magazine. But not Playboy.”

[From The Sun]

And Joe Francis, the fallen head of the Girls Gone Wild franchise has extended a 1/2 million offer to Vanessa from his jail cell, telling her he would love to have her represent the company in a commercial and on video.

There was a story this that Vanessa and Zac had broken up, but they were seen out recently getting McDonalds and it seems like that rumor was false. L.A. Rag Mag also quotes a source saying that they’re still together.

So brace yourselves. More Vanessa Anne Hudgens nude pics are coming. She should wait a while before releasing these ones, though, people might get bored of her.

Like virtually every other girl in her late teens who has a myspace and/or facebook account, High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens has pictures where she’s pretending to kiss her friends. They’re not really scandalous, but probably add to the shame she must feel that her nude pictures were leaked. It still seems like a staged photo leak that was rather convenient for her considering how much it raised her name recoginition.

Hudgens seems to have taken more than one set of nude photos. She was said to have e-mailed nude photos of herself to Drake Bell two years ago. They might have been these photos that have been circulating, or they could have been different ones.

Now there’s a rumor that the 18 year-old actress made a sex tape with a Christmas theme, in which she wore a red thong with mistletoe on it and said “I want Santa to come up my chimney because I’ve been a good little girl this year.” That sounds too good to be true and I bet it’s a fake store. She does seem like an exhibitionist and it could be possible that there’s a sex tape, but I doubt it. (Update: story originated on a satirical site and is indeed not true.)

Hudgens has canceled an appearance scheduled for Thursday on The Tonight Show. There was no reason given, but the head for the clothing line she represents, Eckom praises how she dealt with the nude photo situation:

“More power to her,” Marc Ecko, founder and chief creative officer of Marc Ecko Enterprises, tells PEOPLE. “She made a mistake and has apologized for it. I’m just glad no one’s leaked the pictures of me in all of my naked glory.”

[People.com]

She just should have gone on the show and copped to her mistake like Hugh Grant did after his hooker bj.

Disney is standing by Hudgens, and it’s not surprising that the clothing line she models for is also defending her. She’s a hell of a lot more famous now, and everyone is going to benefit from that.

Update: The sex tape story originated on a satirical site and is not true.

I’m in the process of trying to buy the picture of Britney’s latest crotch reveal, her first since her four separate crotch reveals (link NSFW, and there are three incidents shown there, but believe me there were four) late last year under the tutelage of Paris Hilton. It’s not that much different from her other crotch shots, and is distinguished by the fact that it came after the crappy performance seen ’round the world.

Crying and embarrassed after her piss poor VMA opener, which put the nail in the coffin of her dying emaciated career, a maybe-distraught but probably just numb Britney went out in Vegas with her brother Sunday night. She wore a somewhat short scoop-neck dress with black high heels, sunglasses and her weave pulled back. She did the old “I’m getting out of a car, I don’t know better” move, spreading her legs slightly to give the crouching paparazzi a clear view of her still hairless crotch. She was getting a bit more inventive lately, showing her ass by wearing shirts as dresses and crawling into the backseat of cars, but she relied on the tried and true for a quick pick-me-up.

Here are the other pictures from the series. In the one where you can see her vag, it’s completely bald and all flappy and looks pretty much the same as it did last year. She didn’t hike up her skirt enough to let us see her C-Section scar again, so at least she’s learning how to do it with a little more subtlety. Dignity, however, will always elude Britney.

Among the excuses for Britney’s poor performance include nerves, a corset that she decided not to wear at the last minute, and of course the speculation that she heard Sarah Silverman’s jokes at her expense ahead of time. The press ripped into her yesterday, with Whoopie Goldberg nailing it on The View with the comment that she was “like a bad stripper.”

She’s a one trick pony now, and couldn’t even put on a top for the most important performance of her life. She may as well just become a stripper or go into porn.That seems to be all she’s capable of or interested in now.

Thanks to WENN for these photos of Britney and her brother out to dinner. I’ll include the crotch reveal in another post later if we can afford it. You can see the watermarked version around the web.

Some more photos have come out of this formerly virtually unknown chick, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, from the same series as her now sort-of famous nude pic. They’re higher res and feature her in some more seductive poses in her skivvies in the bedroom. These are sort of safe for work because the naughty bits are covered.

Commentors on ONTD, where we found these pics, say her publicist is dumb and that he should have issued a more strongly-worded statement. As it is, it sounds like she’s practically admitting it.

This might also be a ploy to get this chick out of her contract with Disney to do more High School Musical shows. She should have put these out last week because it was a much slower gossip week.

I didn’t find these until after the earlier post where she admitted the photos were real was published or I would have added them to that one.
