Crush of the Week


Thanks to Gawker for pointing out that T.J. Myers, the star of the adoption-as-sport reality show Who's Your Daddy?, is a softcore porn actress. In Seduction of Innocence, she was a "small-town girl" who "journeys with friend to big city (looks like Dallas) to visit older sister, only to find that Sis is a) working as a stripper, b) tied up with some kind of drug syndicate, and c) living with a lesbian." The lead quote on Ms. Myers' website is "Don't just dare to dream. Dare to do your dreams." And for that, she is our crush of the week. — Ada Calhoun
Quotes of the Week

"Me and a bunch of my friends and aquaintences (about 50 of us) all pile into a pool about once a month to have a major sexual fiesta. we are all virile men. we masturbate in the pool and ejaculate over and over again. ultimately, the goal is to be swimming in each others semen. is there a danger in any of this semen getting up someone's nose, in their ears or eyes, in their throat? is it theoretically possible for hiv to be transmitted this way?" [sic] — an overwhelmingly detailed question posed on the Johns Hopkins AIDS Service Patient Forum.

Photos of the Week


Celine Dion and Anne Geddes create the stuff of nightmares: "It's like she's at a tapas bar that serves tiny, artfully prepared babies."

Topless Scarlett Johannsen screencap on Defamer, from the Bobby Long trailer. If you Photoshop it with the popular panty screencap from her last movie, you can have one whole nearly-naked Scarlett.
In the News

At last, a new Britney letter! Most exciting revelation: her dogs Lucky and Bitbit have their own room. With a chandelier. Least exciting revelation: Britney is writing and directing a musical "which makes fun of the whole Hollywood scene." Title? "Hollywood."

All You Have To Do Is Ask


We don't generally care too much about fetish magazines. But when the Swedish magazine Senze wrote us asking for a review, our curiosity was piqued. We were expecting something like the Ikea catalog — but, you know, with naked chicks instead of reasonably priced ottomans.
    Unfortunately, Senze is entirely devoid of funny Swedish names. It's in English, and not one of the models is named Högtid or Kilan Medaljong. (Which, for the record, would make awesome fetish names.)
   So what does Senze have that the Ikea catalog doesn't? Three things: a four-headed devil-woman, a preview of Britney's next tattoo, and some of the lamest fetish outfits imaginable. As opposed to Ikea, whose leather and latex ensembles aren't half bad.
    In the end, Senze is a little too slick for our tastes — we're pretty sure we could read it on the subway and not get a single funny look. And if it doesn't inspire a cocked eyebrow or two, is it really a dirty magazine? The least they could do is add in a few stylish floor lamps. — Gwynne Watkins
