Let's Talk About: Allure's Weird Naked Celeb Spread

Filed under: Celebrities and Controversy », Fandom », Images »

Check it out: Allure magazine asked hundreds of celebrities to pose naked for a random "It'll help your career, we promise!" photo shoot, and the five who actually said yes thankfully happened to be in phenomenal shape, weighing 115 pounds soaking wet. Then they had the nerve to ask them how they felt about their bodies ("well, you know, I'd like to weigh 112 -- but thems the breaks"), whether they sleep naked and a bunch of other meaningless questions -- when all they should've done is posted the images with a headline that read: "The Economy + Smaller Budget = Five Nude Celebrity Photos. Enjoy!

Look, I'm a guy who occasionally likes to look at beautiful women. I can't help it, God apparently thought this would be something I might enjoy as I grew older. But this Allure spread, well ... it just reeks of desperation on the magazine's part. The difference between this and a Playboy spread is that these five women (Padme Lakshmi, Eliza Dushku, Chelsea Handler, Sharon Leal and Lynn Collins) probably made it past the seventh grade. Sure, times are tough -- budget cuts and layoffs are all around us -- but does the answer to all our woes really come in the form of Eliza Dushku's birthday suit? Or should we feel better as a society because we now know that Dusku strips down to her underwear and Ugg boots while eating lunch in her trailer? Is this really the kind of material Jesus would've wanted us to read two days after Easter? Think about that!

Jessica Alba Does Charlie Chaplin??

Filed under: Fandom », Newsstand », Images »



Yup, she's at it again. Not long ago, Jessica Alba recreated several memorable scenes from classic horror movies for Latina Magazine. Now she's back, and in honor of her upcoming comedy The Love Guru, the actress posed for a photo as comedy legend Charlie Chaplin for the June issue of Allure magazine. It's actually a pretty funny photo, considering Alba's pretty pregnant under all those clothes. Definitely not as bad as those horror shots; in those pics, the gal barely looked like she was trying. Here, at least, she widens her eyes and does a little something with her mouth. Eh? Can you tell I'm reaching here? Let's not even touch the fact that she's posing as Chaplin to promote The Love Guru. I think we should make a rule right now: No one is allowed to pose as a comedy icon unless, ya know, that person also happens to be kinda funny on the big screen.

Check out Alba's last "recreation stint" in the gallery below.
