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.

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.

Hudgens is shown at the High School Musical 2 premiere on 8/14/07. Thanks to PRPhotos.

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.

Update: Photos removed by legal request

Vanessa Anne Hudgens is all too ready to admit that the nude pic that we published yesterday is the real deal. She released a bland statement via her publicist acknowledging the picture and saying it was a private photo. She never said that it wasn’t meant to get out, just that it was “unfortunate” that it did:

The Disney sweetheart’s rep tells Us, “This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.”

[From US Weekly]

I had barely heard of the girl before this incident, and most of you mentioned the same in the comments. A tastefully posed nude pic should be just the thing to launch her film career after High School Musical peaked, at least that’s probably what her publicist is hoping.

Maybe she wasn’t getting enough mileage out of that high profile relationship with her costar, Zac Efron, and decided to kick it up a notch. Bikini and posed makeout pictures only go so far.

Hudgens is shown on 7/10/07 at the LA premiere of Hairspray, thanks to PRPhotos.

Angelina Jolie’s avatar appears naked in the Beowulf trailer, an upcoming CGI fantasy based on the anonymous epic poem dated at around 700-750 AD.

It’s not really Angelina of course, it’s a team of computer artist’s vision of the hottest version of Angelina. Obviously she’s significantly curvier than in real life, where she’s been looking positively skeletal lately. She’s just not as hot now as in her Tomb Raider days, but we can still fantasize through the help of computer animation. Fully naked Angelina is about 14 seconds before the end of this clip. (It counts backwards.)

It seems like this nude scene will not appear in the actual movie on screen, but should be available on the DVD:

More good news before I let you see the trailer: apparently, the two screenwriters had to go through a lot of pain and effort to render the story so as to get a PG-13 rating from the ever careful and watching MPAA. Therefore, most of the nude and blood-filled scenes have been stylized to the maximum or even completely cut out. However, Gaiman is in for an uncensored and unrated version of the movie, which will probably be made after the release (meaning, it depends on the way ‘Beowulf’ scores at the box-office) and only after every member of the team is also OK with it. Join me in prayers.

[News.Softpedia.com]

Beowulf out on November 16 in the US and is expected to be a big hit. The Softpedia article says it’s an “inspired combination of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘300′.”

Thanks to Faded Youth via ONTD for the trailer and photo of Angelina’s nude avatar.

I honestly don’t know who this chick is except for the fact that she stars with Zach Efron in those High School Musical shows. She’s supposedly dating Efron, but the last woman he was said to be dating was his previous costar, Nikki Blonski from the Hairspray movie, and I tend to believe the rumors that he’s of the other persuasion.

In the last Enquirer there’s a story that Vanessa had some nude pics that she would be devastated if they got out, and low and behold, here they are. I know 18 year-old Hudgens is a teen star and is supposed to have a wholesome image, but I personally believe this whole nude photo thing was orchestrated for maximum publicity, especially considering that we were told that the photos were coming so that it could generate buzz.

Here’s the relevant excerpt from The Enquirer:

Naked pictures that star Vanessa Hudgens - intended only for costar/boyfriend Zac Efron - recently surfaced, and their discovery could bring down the wholesome Disney blockbuster that’s captivated millions of teen fans

“Vanessa took some suggestive shots of herself in the buff as a surprise for Zac,” a source told The Enquirer…

But [High School Musical, which has been a huge success[ could go down in a flaming scandal.

The Enquirer has learned that a third party has obtained the sexy pictures that were meant just for Vanessa and Zac.

"Vanessa's only 19, [sic: according to IMDB she's 18] so she had no idea how her flirtatious act could threaten the future of the multimillion-dollar plans Disney has for the show,” said the source.

“She just wanted to keep Zac interested!”

[The National Enquirer, print edition, September 10, 2007]

Now the Enquirer says in the September 10 issue, which came out last week, that the photos “recently surfaced ” Today is the first day they’ve hit the net, so I don’t see how they could have surfaced anywhere else if we weren’t all over them last week. It’s also suspect that they’re emphasizing that these pics were for Zac alone - as if it makes their relationship seem that much more legitimate.

This is a pretty damn wholesome naked picture, so I don’t see how it could ruin the “wholesome Disney blockbuster.” The young woman is standing smiling, there are no booze bottles or drugs visible in the background, and she’s not posing suggestively, wearing high heels, or even trimmed for bikini season. There is no one else in the picture leering or making gestures or trying to rub up on her.

In Europe we go to the coed saunas and nudity is matter of fact. I don’t think we should get to see everyone nude, but in my opinion I don’t see how a totally normal-posed nude picture is going to ruin anyone’s career. The girl is hot, it’s only going to help her image, and some PR person figured that out and set this all up.

It could have gone down like they claim, but I doubt it. Still, I might be wrong. I didn’t see the big deal with Janet Jackson’s boob flash either.
