The always Kla$$y Hugh Hefner and associates have gotten their crotchless panties in a twist over the Playboy Portugal cover. The Daily Mail describes the pictures featured in the magazine,
The pictures show a long-haired, glowing Jesus watching two models in a lesbian clinch, standing next to a prostitute and looking over the shoulder of a woman reading a book... The spread was ostensibly a tribute to Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago’s The Gospel According to Jesus Christ, but Hugh Hefner’s headquarters have reacted with outrage.
Theresa Hennessy, Playboy Enterprises vice president of public relations (aka Lady-in-Waiting when shit hits the fan) said of the cover,
It is a shocking breach of our standards and we would have not allowed it to be published if we had seen it in advance. We are in the process of terminating our agreement with the Portuguese publisher.
That's so not fair! Poor little Portuguese boys won't be able to drool over airbrushed, waxed and ostensibly plastic "women" anymore just because some editor wanted to be the Lady Gaga of adult print entertainment! What-ever! Supposedly Jose Saragamo, who the photos pay homage to, wanted to depict Jesus as a human being, flaws and all. As a C&E Catholic I don't find this offensive, in fact it's probably one of the most, if not only, provocative and intriguing shoots Playboy has ever done. (I mean aside from the women of Enron. Come on, that was genius!)
NBC's got a new show and it's all about the softer side of casual sex. Friends With Benefits stars a bunch of leftovers from canceled TV shows like: Danneel Harris, who seems to have gotten a new face since being on One Tree Hill, Ryan Hansen, who looks much prettier without trying as much as his Party Down persona, Fran Kranz, my favorite character on the early axed Dollhouse (PS he's already been cut from the show), Jessica Lucas of the Melrose Place reboot, and Ian Reed Kesler, who's a newcomer to TV but played "Douche" in (500) Days of Summer. (Boy was that a long sentence!)
Side Note: Friends With Benefits is from the writers of (500) Days of Summer.
I might watch this had they not axed the heart & soul, Fran Kranz, but alas, there's no room in the world for the funny/dorky/adorable guy. I give this show 6 eps or 10 seasons (hey look at Smallville, that shit is still on the air!)
In an effort to dance around the a-word a little (rhymes with shmashmortion) President Obama has pledged $25 million dollars to the Federal Pregnancy Assistant Fund, whose goal is to, "assist women who have decided to carry their pregnancies to term and those who are parenting."
[The money] will be used to will provide pregnant and parenting teens and women a seamless network of supportive services to help them complete high school or post-secondary degrees and gain access to health care, child care, family housing, and other critical support. In addition, States can use the funds to combat violence against pregnant women.
Is today my birthday?! This is fabulous news! Right-to-lifers go on and on about carrying a baby to term and then giving it to a loving (heterosexual) couple when it's time to pop, but they seldom pay any never-mind to the fact that being pregnant is expensive. Let's set aside the fact that having a baby is not only going to affect your life but your wallet too; the gestation period is filled with price tags from sonograms to checkups, from pre-natal drugs to late night trips to the 7-11 for a Big Gulp Blue Raspberry Fanta Slurpee (hey, she needs it man.) Hopefully now those women, who choose to carry their fetuses to term, will get the assistance they need.
Who knows, maybe we might even get some well-needed sex education. (iEscandalo!)

There are many mysteries that plague us to this day... Who built Stonehenge? Who shot Kennedy? Did Kendra Wilkinson get a denture ride from Hugh Hefner? Well now one of these great mysteries has been solved. In Kendra's new book, Sliding Into Home (yeah), she reveals that she did knock orthopedic slippers with the famed Playboy mogul. Kendra says of their first time,
One of the girls asked me if I wanted to go upstairs to Hef’s room. In my head I could hear my mom’s voice, ‘You know they have orgies there.’ I said 'Okay, if I have to.' It seemed like every other girl was going and if I didn’t it would be weird. One by one, each girl hopped on Hef and had sex with him for about a minute. I studied their every move. Then it was my turn, it was very weird. I wasn’t thinking about how much older Hef was, all the body parts worked the same. I wanted to be there.
Well... sort of... Joe Francis and on-again, off-again, CBS entertainment reporter girlfriend, Christina McLarty have decided to join together in the holy union of domestic partnership. JoeyFace told Page Six,
We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don't believe it's appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States.
For those of you who don't remember, Joe Francis is famous because of a little independent film company he started called Girls Gone Wild. Yeah, he's super sensitive, loves the gays, they should totally have all the same rights as straight people... but when it comes to women its okay to get a barely 18 year-old drunk, throw her in the back of a trailer and talk her into doing obscene acts, make her sign a waiver and then, when she sobers up, tell her that she gave her consent? I'm judging you Joe Francis and so does RadCooks!
If you don't know Joe, here's his famous interview with OverLordess Tyra Banks after he got out of jail. He compares himself to Nelson Mandela, yeah because Mandela was arrested for filming underage girls in the nude.

While living on my friend's futon he had me watch a new Bravo show called Work of Art, which is much like any other Bravo show, in that it's an elimination based, competition style show for something hipstery. The cast of characters on the show is pretty interesting, you've got your lesbian who undresses the hot, angsty straight girl with her eyes, the adorable gay guy who paints auto-follatio (and misspells it), you've got the crazy insomniac, OCD psycho-pants who ejaculates on his art and then you've got the rail-thin, beauty, radical feminist painter known as Jaclyn Santos.
Jaclyn's work is RadFem worthy in the fact that she exploits the female form and manipulates body composure and expression to make a statement about the female experience. In the latest episode of Work of Art the artists were asked to create something shocking. Jaclyn immediately stripped down and took some nudey MySpace style pics and created an interactive tryptic that allowed the audience to draw on and deface her photographs. She's a firecracker and now a personal heroin of Radioactive Cookies.
Here are a few of her pieces, check out her website for more!
Well I'm definitely seeing that! I stumbled upon this trailer while I was perusing the online job marketplace known as Mandy. All my fellow unemployed wannabe Industry Members should know it well... anyway, I saw this trailer and thought it worth sharing with my vast audience of 7 readers! Easy A stars Emma Stone, of the marvelous Zombieland, as high school student Olive Penderghast who helps a sista out when she pretends to loose her virginity to her gay bestie. What starts out as one man's beard turns into a business opportunity for Olive and a way to pretend to be getting down for the misfits of the school. Obviously she has to have a nemesis who comes in the form of perky, popular and platinum blonde... drumroll please... Amanda Bynes! What more could this movie ask for? How about a little Nathaniel Hawthorne? The title is an omage to the American classic and one of my personal favorites, The Scarlet Letter. This movie sounds awesome and I can't wait to be first in line on... this movie doesn't come out until September 17th?
Happy Tuesday all, here's your afternoon pick-me-up!
In the new hit movie, Get Him To The Greek, Russell Brand's portrayal of unrecovered rocker Aldous Snow is only bested by his show stealing lady Jackie Q played by Damages' Rose Byrne. Jackie Q asks in her below hit single, "What's the point of life if that gays have all the fun?" Indeed!
Feast your eyes on Rosie's Posey! And if you haven't already seen Get Him To The Greek, do it NOW!

The seam running down the underside of his penis is right on line with the seem on his boys. This spot is uber sensitive and when touched the right way can send his orgasm over the top.
