Paris Hilton’s Artful Nipple
PixlPorn.com is a site with nude celeb photos you can actually peruse while you’re at work. How is it possible, you ask, to view Paris Hilton’s nipple, Pamela Anderson’s vagina, and Colin Ferrell’s penis without getting bad looks from my boss? Well, the photos are of such low resolution that you actually can’t see much of anything. Clive Owen’s butt is just nine flesh-colored pixels. But maybe thinking about the fact that you’re staring at Clive’s backside will turn you on, even if you can’t recognize what it is. [PixlPorn.com] Keep reading »
Frisky Quote Of The Day: “Jenna” from 30 Rock
“It’s hiding who you are at all times. It’s wearing make up to bed and going downstairs to the Burger King to poop and hiding alcohol in perfume bottles. That’s love.” — “Jenna” from 30 Rock Keep reading »
Your Child Is What You Eat
What you eat around the time you get pregnant could influence whether you have a boy or a girl, a study published in Proceedings B, a biological research journal, reported. And because diets have changed due to industrialization (Hamburgers! French fries! Sour Patch Kids!), diet could be a possible explanation for the falling proportion of male births.

No More Watching Gossip Girl Episodes At Work
The Gossip Girl folks are certainly working hard to get us all hot and bothered about the show’s upcoming episodes, but they’re also doing a really good job of annoying us. Not only did The CW move the show’s air day and time from Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST to Mondays at 8 p.m. EST, but none of the new episodes will be available on CWTV.com. It looks like so many of us watch streaming episodes on The CW’s website that they’ve decided it would be better (read: generate more money) if they only allowed the purchase of episodes on iTunes. It looks like I’ll have to clear my calendar every Monday so I get home in time to hear those glorious words, “xoxo, Gossip Girl.” [Reuters] Keep reading »
The Daily Hotness: Yael Naim
This morning I had my iPod on random and it landed on a song that’s been in my iTunes for awhile, but I’d never listened to. Yael Naim, a new Israeli singer-songwriter getting a lot of buzz in the U.S., covering Britney Spears’ “Toxic”. It was so hot, I had to make her the Daily Hotness and give you all a link to download the song. [YaelWeb.com]

The Daily Squeeze: Bad Bloggers, Stupid Laws, And Fly Sexual Behaviors
The Yale Abortion Artist: Well Now We Feel Stupid.
Grrr. So. That Yale art student and her abortion project? Totally BS. Kudos to gillybeans for smelling a stinker. Yale issued a statement today saying that Aliza Shvarts’ story was a fake, but still a part of her real art project. Um, making us feel stupid? Sort of. The statement read: “The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.” For the record, I still don’t think this is art. [Yale.edu]
UPDATE: [And I swear this is the last thing I am going to write about this annoying little twit, but I feel compelled to update you all since the subject inspired so much discussion.] Now Shvarts is disputing Yale’s claim that her project was a work of fiction, saying Shvarts that she repeatedly “used a needleless syringe to insert semen into herself, and at the end of her menstrual cycle, she took abortifacient herbs to induce bleeding.” But she doesn’t know whether or not she actually was ever pregnant. “No one can say with 100-percent certainty that anything in the piece did or did not happen,” Shvarts said, “because the nature of the piece is that it did not consist of certainties.” YAWN. I’m bored. [Yale Daily News] Keep reading »
We Can’t Resist Kiss The Bride
Remember how I said Made Of Honor looks like practically the same movie as My Best Friend’s Wedding? And that it would probably suck? Well, Kiss The Bride has a pretty darn similar plot to both of those films, only this one features a gay guy, his first boyfriend, and that first boyfriend’s soon-to-be-wife, played by trannylicious Tori Spelling. It also looks vaguely awesome, proving that just because you stole another movie’s plot doesn’t mean you’re not worth seeing. [Kiss The Bride] Keep reading »
Goodyear’s Golden Girl
Just like good tires, you can get a lot of smooth rides out of a good woman. Well, that’s what Goodyear’s new Italian ad is claiming. A silver fox, wearing nothing but a mink stole and a “come hither†smile, poses like a pin-up next to the slogan, “The only thing in your truck that never gets old.†We basically want to grow up to be her.
