stars, sex and nudity buzz : 09/05/2012

Venice Review: Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers' Is A Semi-Conventional Genre Flick and Future Cult Favorite This will make you feel old: it has been 18 years since Harmony Korine wrote “Kids” at the age of 21, with the Larry Clark directed film proving to be something of a firecracker in the midst of mid-90s indie cinema, by turns controversial, seedy, and honest. Korine made his own directorial debut with 1998’s “Gummo,” and over the last 15 or so years has made films that (with the possible exception of “Mister Lonely”), push aesthetic and critical boundaries further and further, culminating in 2009’s “Trash Humpers,” a film shot on a VHS camcorder, featuring a cast in old-people masks generally trying to provoke the audience into walking out. So where could he possibly go from there?

By making “Spring Breakers,” a curiously mainstream (at least by Korine’s standards) crime/exploitation picture -- that could be described as “Drive” by way of Russ Meyer, Terry Richardson and “Point Blank” -- featuring a bevy of teen starlets best known for wholesome work on the Disney Channel, and a performance from restless A-lister James Franco that might just be one of the actor’s best to date.

The plot is fairly simple, all told. Faith (Selena Gomez), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Brit (Ashley Benson) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) are four lifelong friends at the same college campus. Lone brunette Faith is more straight-laced, and nominally Christian, while the others have more fearsome, hard-partying reputations.

They’re planning on heading to Florida for Spring Break, but are short on cash, and so to raise the additional funds, Candy, Brit and Cotty knock over a fast-food restaurant. The job goes off without a hitch, and they’re soon down south partying with the other boys and girls gone wild. The dream looks to be over, however, when they’re picked up on drugs charges by the cops.

But fortunately, they’ve come to the attention of local gangster/would-be-rapper Alien (Franco), who pays off their fines, and takes them under his wing, falling for Brit and Candy in the process. But when he comes into conflict with another dealer, his former best friend Archie (rapper Gucci Mane), which of the girls will stick out spring break by his side, and which will head back to college – or worse?

It’s clear from the off that this is going to be something very different for Korine, with a slow-motion opening sequence of topless co-eds drinking beer bongs on the beach that could be lifted straight from a “Girls Gone Wild” tape or a sleazy music video, albeit one with high production values.

The director’s working with a whole new style here, and thanks to DoP Benoit Debie, the film looks legitimately fantastic – a colourful, neon-lit nighttime aesthetic highly reminiscent of this summer’s other Florida-set picture, “Magic Mike” (the two will make a hell of a double bill one day). There's also some dazzling camerawork, including a genuinely awe-inspiring crane shot of a pool party with what looks like thousands of extras, and a brilliantly choreographed tracking shot of the robbery seen through the window of the getaway car.

It’s also different because, if it’s art, and it probably is, it’s firmly a piece of pop art. The soundtrack (when not driven by the score from Cliff Martinez and Skillrex) is for the most part up-to-the-minute hi-NRG teen pop and hip-hop, with Nicki Minaj, Ellie Goulding, The Weeknd, and Waka Flocka Flame all making appearances, along with a robbery montage scored, brilliantly, to Britney Spears.

The colors, the thin character development, the movie references (Alien has “Scarface” playing permanently on repeat), all add up to the cinematic equivalent of something by Jeff Koons – glossy, bright and ultimately disposable. Korine nudges towards saying things about the American dream, materialism, and the need to escape as you break out into your his teens, but never really lets anything of substance emerge. He’s much happier, in this case, making an immaculately stylish exploitation picture. Those looking for something as genuinely shocking as his other work should go elsewhere – there are moments that’ll grab TMZ headlines (coke, some nudity mostly from Mrs. Korine, a “Wild Things” style swimming pool threesome between Vanessa, Ashley and Franco), but nothing truly dangerous.

Which isn’t to say that it’s uninteresting, cinematically speaking. The mood (again, as with “Magic Mike”) is curiously downbeat and sad for much of the film – even as the girls have the best time of their lives, they know it’s coming to an end. Even as they enter a life of crime, they know it can only end badly. And the phenomenal editing by Douglas Crise (a former assistant editor for Sodebergh, who also cut “Babel” and “Arbitrage,” among others) really pushes that to the forefront, rarely letting the viewer settle in to a "present," constantly hopping around in time, and even repeating fragments and shots.

It’s probably the single aspect that’ll stop the film from becoming a crossover hit, although you never know. Certainly the star appeal of the young cast should be potent, and they actually acquit themselves as well as they could with such thin characters, with the exception of Rachel Korine, who never feels comfortable on screen. Gomez has the best-defined role, but probably the least screen time, while Hudgens and Benson are charismatic, but essentially joined at the hip in the film.

But really, it’s Franco’s film. He doesn’t appear in any substance until nearly halfway through, but his Florida Fagin is enormously entertaining. Buried under corn-rows and metal teeth, Franco plays Alien like Matthew McConaughey doing an impression of Lil ‘Jon (it’ll make sense when you see us, trust us…), a curiously charming and childlike gangster. We’ve grown increasingly tired of Franco’s self-regarding art projects of late, but this served as a much-needed reminder of how much fun he can be on screen.

We mentioned “Drive” earlier, and in many ways this feels like the 2012 equivalent of last year’s crime cult picture (though certainly not as good), and not just because of the neon-lit cityscapes and Cliff Martinez score – it’s ultimately a fairly thin, pulpy crime tale, given more substance than it should have on paper thanks to some excellent filmmaking. It’s unlikely to make Korine’s hardcore fans happy (it almost feels like a statement from the director, for better or worse, that he’s ready to stop dicking around and make "proper" films), but midnight movie programmers of the future will undoubtedly give it a long life years after it’s gone from first-run theaters.

Spring Breakers review

Robbie Collin reviews Spring Breakers, Harmony Korine's tale of college break sleaze, sex and violence, starring Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez.

By Robbie Collin

Dir: Harmony Korine; Starring: Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, James Franco, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine. 88 mins. 

“This is the freakin’ American dream!” bellows Alien, James Franco’s gangster rapper stroke actual, gun-toting gangster, as he takes four bikini-clad young women on a tour of his spectacularly crass Florida crib. Alien is a Day-Glo Gatsby for our times: instead of uncut books on his shelves he has a flatscreen television playing a Scarface DVD on constant repeat, and in place of a pink suit, he has his hair pulled back in cornrows and a sparkling silver grill clamped over his front teeth.

The American dream may have already been in a sorry state in Gatsby’s day, but in the early 21st century, according to Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers, it has dissolved into a kind of pornographic reverie. Korine’s film is about four college girls who go in search of that dream: churchy Faith (Selena Gomez), brash Cotty (Rachel Korine, the director’s wife), and Candy and Brit (Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson), neither of whom have enough of a personality to merit their own adjective.

They find it, temporarily at least, on a mid-term holiday to Florida, funded partly with their savings and partly with the proceeds from robbing a café. Much drinking, drug-taking and hip-gyrating ensues, which Korine captures with suitably dreamlike camerawork and whispery narration. (Improbably, of all the other films in Venice, Spring Breakers has most in common with Terrence Malick’s earnest love story To The Wonder.)

The foursome are eventually arrested during a police raid on a house party, but they are promptly bailed by Franco’s Alien, who recruits them into his stick-up gang.

Ever since a glossy billboard was hoisted over the Croisette at Cannes earlier this year depicting the film’s formerly wholesome young starlets pouting in fluorescent bikinis, there has been a hushed sense of expectation surrounding the project: as the writer of Larry Clark’s famously explicit 1995 drama Kids, just how far would Korine go? 

Well, the answer is not nearly far enough: beneath its Terry Richardson-esque porn chic surface, Spring Breakers is no racier than a mainstream Hollywood teen comedy, and Korine doesn’t seem to know what to do with his film’s incredibly timely, potentially dangerous premise. For a generation with ready access to the internet, the sex or violence is depressingly tame, too: a swimming pool ménage-a-trois between Hudgens, Benson and Franco even verges on the snuggly. 

Korine’s wicked sense of humour is in evidence both in motifs borrowed from earlier films (masks, nonsense songs, clowning) and some sensational new tricks: a Russ Meyer-inflected heist montage backed by an obscure Britney Spears album track is a scream, and the cuts between almost every scene are underscored with the deafening snap of an automatic weapon being cocked.

Moments like this make Spring Breakers worth watching, but while the film is a success on its own art house exploitation terms, it can’t help but feel like a missed opportunity. The freakin’ American dream is an awful lot harder, sleazier and stranger than this.

Breakdown of the nude scenes involving the main female cast :

Translated foreign reviews :

Big debauchery.....
Par: Déborah Laurent

Each year in March the American students that choose to put your head upside down. For a week, usually young people gather on the beach but somehow the sun with a single slogan: partying. Abuse of alcohol, drugs, sex, anything goes. This is the week of debauchery.  

This very special moment is called "Spring Break" or "spring break." Spring Breakers is the name of Harmony Korine film. We suspected that we would be entitled to a little trash scenes. We were right.  

Faith (Selena Gomez), Brit (Ashley Benson), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Cotty (Rachel Korine). 15 or 16 years old in despair: they do not have enough money to participate in Spring Break this year.  

Brit Candy Cotty and find the solution: they steered a restaurant. Faith takes it with her ​​and go to the fair. An evening among other trash will take them to jail. Luckily, the gangster rapper Alien (James Franco) is going to get out of there. Far from their world girly and student, young women will find themselves immersed in a violent world, which reeks of money, sex and blood. Spring Break at hand, it was a joke.

The tone is set from the first images: slow motion of a mass of girls in bikinis dancing lasciviously on the beach. Closeup on the buttocks wriggle on the support that can be removed. They lick ice with teasing glances. Breasts to the air. The girls are drinking water unleashed by guys. Sniffs cocaine on the body. Sending everyone in the air everywhere with anyone ... The colors of the images are saturated in the extreme. 


Amid this mess, there are two couple of kids: Vanessa Hudgens : bleached blonde, ultra trash and Selena Gomez who is doing the best because she is the quietest and the kindest of the band. Apart sometimes showing herself in her panties, she is content to be cute as a heart and completely naive.  

Her friends though a different story. They swear. They take their foot to play with guns like in video games. They are sent into the air with the gangster James Franco. Scene in the pool will shock sensitive souls....


Opinion by Spaggy of Spring Breakers
Take a good dose of aesthetics from MTV, mix it with a pair of tits and ass dancing all the time to tickle the male hormones. Add James Franco James Franco is on steroids, mixed with a splash of images taken with the camera of your iPhone. As a final touch, sprinkle of color technomusic, Shake with some shot across or under the water and drink it all with accompanying references metacinematografici and eating healthy provocation while listening to Britney Spears. Here is the recipe for Spring Breakers from Harmony Korine, a film that would rise to critical pop but ends up being so kitsch to border on pornography film. 

There is no doubt that in a short time, the work of Korine can rise to the status of cult of the new generations of moviegoers watch the aesthetic rather than the intrinsic value of a work. If this is the future of cinema, but frankly if you can do without. Choose to cause a James Franco, who spends himself in a practiced fellatio with two pistols, pull color images lysergic and put on display bodies and ridiculous different does not mean making films. Means groped hit the media and try to switch to author innovative even when you do not have the means and possibilities. Beyond the script that leaves no room for doubt on the smallness of the project, to hit is the will of Korine want to be critical of American society. Alien, drug dealer and rapper dodgy with his grin metallic stregatto induces the four main characters to want to make what for him is the American dream: making money and ricoprirsene nauseum, surrounded by weapons and branded goods and extend the power over everything and everyone. 

Pretending to marry Although the reasons subjects who attempt to put forward for Spring Breakers , you can not remain inactive in the face of paucity form and substance as the film progresses. The four girls protagonists, a symbol of a generation of brave girls who have never been such, would be willing to sell even their mothers to spend their spring break in the middle of a nightlife made ​​up of alcohol, sex, drugs and degeneration of any type or kind. Given that the idea of spring break is far from cogitandi modus of the Italian student, you have the impression that the critical vein is just an excuse to have fun on the set of friends. things do not improve even when Spring Breakers wants to become a grotesque modern gangster movie: the exasperation of the clichés of the genre takes the viewer to get nervous and lose my patience. And the predictable end does nothing but worsen the judgment. Korine should remember that cause is an art and not just two shots in digital fluorescent costumes to be alternative and cinematically anarchists. Experiment film that wants to be independent and fiercely critical, Spring Breakers is great for night passages on local TV or pay per view erotic. Similar to those bad bmovie where you just take a beautiful girl of 90 minutes of futility, Spring Breakers is indefinable and indefensible. Whatever the argument that Korine pleads in an attempt to explain it, I personally am not inclined to listen. trashed as you would with the amateur video of Belen Rodriguez with her ​​boyfriend of the moment: you look out of curiosity but then it also removes the memories. Rating: 1 (only for a few interesting solution directed). 

* From what I gleaned from the reviews and tweets...........
[1] Selena Gomez (no nudity but in her bikini and panties).
[2] Vanessa Hudgens (nude but you can't really see anything. Still waiting for the threesome in the pool report).
[3] Ashley Benson (same as Vanessa).
[4] Rachel Korine (breasts).

* Bad news....confirmation received :

Me : Hi, Enrico. Sorry if I used the wrong e-mail to contact you. I'm not Italian if you haven't figure it out yet.
Just read your tweets on Spring Breakers. I'm big fan of female nudity in movies. Just sad to read there is no nudity from Vanessa and Ashley. You mentioned there nothing really shown. Not even butt shot?

Amid the gloomy news.....a ray of sunshine delivered by Selena Gomez :
Gomez, who rose to fame as a teenager on Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place and enjoyed success as a pop singer, added that she turned down the opportunity to play one of the more racy characters in Spring Breakers.
"I just didn't think I was ready for it, and I do think that Faith is right for me at this time in my career and in my life. Of course eventually I'm going to kind of work my way up to that I think," she added.

* another supposed nudity (keeping my fingers crossed) in the pipeline is all-eyes Jessica Szohr in much delayed and yet-to-be released Art Machine (2012). I received a e-missive few months ago that Ms.Szohr did a love scene in the movie. Clear shot of her butt and quick glimpse of nips filmed in usual dark and low lighting. Need confirmation though.

Books and Review Fan Frenzy; Fresh Look at 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie Front-Runners for Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey

Books and Review | Jessica Durham

The results are in!
Books and Review did some recent polls to see which stars are in the front running for the two key roles of Anastasia and Christian in the upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie.

The "Fifty Shades" trilogy ("Fifty Shades of Grey," "Fifty Shades Darker," "Fifty Shades Freed"), written by bestselling author E.L. James, tells the story of 22-year-old recent college grad Anastasia Steele, who enters into a dominant/submissive sexual relationship with 27-year old sexy billionaire Christian Grey, and both explore Christian's world of BDSM while trying to understand their complicated relationship.

In an ongoing poll that includes "Game of Thrones" Emilia Clarke, "Gilmore Girls" Alexis Bledel, Emma Watson, "Pretty Little Liars" Lucy Hale, "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" star Alexandra Daddario, and "Twilight" Ashley Greene, only one of them are winning.

Daddario is currently winning the poll with 866 votes, while Bledel is in second with 787 votes and Clarke is in third with 398 votes.

This is surprising, as Clarke and Bledel are huge fan favorites. But the polls don't lie. Daddario is a fan favorite as well. Also, "Twilight" star Ashley Greene has slowly creeping up to Clarke and may past her by next week.

Here is what some fans had to say!

Dreamerdi05
The one that fits E.L. James' description of Anastasia Rose Steele exactly is Alexandra Daddario!!! My predicion is she will be cast with THE MUSE (source of inspiration for Christian Trevelyan Grey) Henry Cavill. They make the perfect Mr. and Mrs. Grey!!!

Savannah Bennett
I think I should be Ana, just saying.  I have the dark hair and piercing blue eyes.

Books and Review did a recent poll to see which star fans wanted to play Elena Lincoln a.k.a Mrs. Robinson.

The ongoing poll featured Elena Barkin, Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lena Olin, Jenny McCarthy, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Diane Lane, Sharon Stone, Cameron Diaz, and Kim Cattrall.
Theron is in first place with 138 votes. Cattrall is in second with 104 votes. Pfeiffer is in third with 81 votes.

Lorelei Lee Talks Ashley Hinshaw's 'About Cherry'

By Peter Warren

Sep 04th, 2012

HOLLYWOOD—While perpetual fascination has swirled all year long around porn's James Deen and his emergence into the mainstream spotlight (the latest gossip item surrounding Deen, per The Canyons scribe Bret Easton Ellis' Twitter feed, is that the burrito-obsessed cockslinger is in serious consideration for the role of Christian Grey in the film adaptation of E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey), another star of the triple-X screen has quietly made her own inroads into the "legit" movie business.

That star is Lorelei Lee, and by co-authoring the IFC Films release About Cherry, available now via VOD and coming to theaters September 21, she has earned the distinction of becoming the first hardcore porn performer in history to script a bona fide Hollywood feature.

Co-written and directed by Stephen Elliott (making his movie-helming debut), About Cherry tells the story of an 18-year-old girl (Ashley Hinshaw) who drops out of high school and runs off to San Francisco, where she takes a job as a cocktail waitress at a strip club. There, she meets a rich lawyer (James Franco) who introduces her to a world of lavish decadence, while a local porn performer-turned-director (Heather Graham) ushers her into the San Fran porn scene. The movie also stars Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) and Lili Taylor (Say Anything...), with cameo appearances by Lee and fellow adult starlet Sensi Pearl. It was shot at the 250,000-square-foot San Francisco Armory, home to BDSM giant Kink.com, where Lee continues to perform and direct.

"Stephen Elliott is a longtime friend of mine from San Francisco, and he just called me up one day and said he wanted to write a story about porn, and that he wanted us to do it together," Lee told AVN. "He had just written the screenplay for [his novel] The Adderall Diaries, which James Franco had optioned, and that was Stephen's first time writing a screeplay and he was really excited about the new form and wanted to do another one. So we wrote it over my Christmas break from school—we literally wrote it in like six weeks—and then he really was the force behind getting it to all come together and making the movie happen. He got James Franco on board, and that of course made the project interesting to a lot of people."

Despite the seemingly autobiographical elements of About Cherry, Lee said the biggest commonality between the main character's experience and her own is in "the way that people in your personal life will respond to finding out that you are making porn. Her family background is not at all autobiographical for me. Actually, some of it is more autobiographical for Stephen. It's kind of funny, because people will see the film and they'll see a blonde porn performer and they'll think that it's my story, and it's very much Stephen's story as well."

That said, Lee conceded, "But definitely, I put a lot of my real experiences into it. I mean, a big part of the reason we wanted to write this story is that so many of the movies that you see or the stories that get told about porn are tragic and are stories about drugs and about people who feel really lost, and I wanted to talk about how the industry can be a place where someone can actually find themselves. That has been my experience quite a bit."

Asked how she feels about the way the film turned out, Lee said, "I love it. I mean, there's definitely small details where we disagreed about things, and there's definitely parts of it that I would nitpick, but that's not even worth talking about because that's the kind of thing that happens in any collaborative project, and really, my experience when I saw it for the first time was joy. I mean, I was really amazed by how all of the people who had worked on it had created this thing that looked like it had come out of my dream life. You know, you're writing something and it's in your head and you don't know if you've communicated it at all, and then to see it made more real than it ever was on paper is just an incredible feeling."

One other thing Lorelei Lee shares with James Deen is a stalwart insistence that continued mainstream success or no, she intends to keep her feet planted firmly in the porn world ... even with a master of fine arts degree from NYU (which she collected in May) under her arm.

"I still love performing, so I'm definitely going to continue to do that—I don't have plans to quit," she said. "And I love directing also. That's been really fun for me, and like a new challenge. But I'm also putting together a poetry manuscript and I've been writing a novel for two years now that's getting closer to being finished. I'm really excited about that. So I have a lot of things in the works."

About Cherry is available on SundanceNOW, iTunes, Amazon Streaming, XBOX Zune and Playstation Unlimited.

Sex guru son ‘exposes’ self

The son of legendary Masters and Johnson sex researcher William Masters has been caught showing undercover cops his own johnson, and could be facing jail time.

New York freelance TV producer William H. Masters III was busted near his family’s Michigan vacation cottage Saturday after allegedly exposing himself to two undercover officers posing as kayakers as part of a local sting operation.

Masters’ family owns a home in super-exclusive Pointe aux Barques. “It’s a very rich, wealthy gated community,” explained a local source, “with cottages built by families like [tire magnate] Harvey Firestone.”

The incident occurred nearby on the Pinnebog River when, according to the Huron County sheriff’s office, “a 60-year-old New York City-area man yelled for [the] attention” of two women kayaking by. He was on the shore and “was completely nude and making obscene gestures.” But the boaters were “part of a combined law-enforcement-agency sting operation, working out of a two-person kayak on the river.”

The women, a deputy sheriff and her volunteer assistant, then “beached their kayak to pursue the suspect” and “called for backup from [a] Michigan conservation officer . . . who was on foot in that area.”

Masters, who lives in Manhattan and Southampton, was released on $5,000 bond and arraigned yesterday on one charge of aggravated indecent exposure, which could carry up to two years in jail.
“This sting operation was prompted by many incidents over the years such as yesterday’s,” said a release from Sheriff Kelly J. Hanson.

Masters’ father was half of the Masters and Johnson team that wrote the groundbreaking best-sellers “Human Sexual Response” and “Human Sexual Inadequacy.” Showtime is making a series about the duo, “Masters of Sex,” starring Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan.

Masters is married to televison producer Victoria Baker. A rep for Masters said he had no comment.

* The guy should been bit more considerate. Wait just few weeks before the premiere of the Showtime series and reveal his dangler to the world. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

nudity dodger Deborah Ann Woll : Self Magazine [September] 2012

True Blood’s Deborah Ann Woll could wear a flour sack and still look gorgeous, but in the September issue of SELF magazine, she looks dashing in denim.
While she isn’t a natural redhead — she told SELF that she dyed her blonde hair in high school to say, “I’m not a ghost who will fade away” — Deb’s hair is one of her defining features. In the following photo shoot, it is kept natural and slightly messy, highlighting her natural beauty, striking blue eyes, and fun pops of color in her outfits!

* the tales I could share about Debbie's topless antics on the set of True Blood but couldn't out of fear losing long cherished and only available contact on the TB production crew. Let just say she makes Jennifer Aniston a blushing bride in comparison. But one news I can confirm is the high-level of exasperation endured by HBO executives no thanks to escalating budget incurred by bloated (some will say unnecessary) new characters amid the varied and unfocused story lines. Many in the boardroom is actually happy to see the back of Alan Ball. They're using Paquin's pregnancy as an excuse to trim the down the plot and likely the cast as well. Go back to basics.

Facts About Sherlyn Chopra
Sherlyn Chopra, the wannabe actress has been trying several attempts to get fame in the Bollywood industry. The model turned actress has recently accepted that she used to make love for money. Through her tweets on a micro-blogging site (Twitter), Sherlyn confessed that she had paid sex before but is not into it anymore. The model turned actress has also posted her bare body pictures suiting herself with a cucumber on Twitter. This was all an attempt to trend on the site. When we are talking about Sherlyn Chopra, lets check out her rise to fame.

Few facts about Sherlyn Chopra and her journey to fame:

• The 28-year-old model turned actress was born in Andhra Pradesh. She always wanted to become famous and so, she contested in Miss Andhra, a state beauty pageant. Sherlyn won the Ms.Andhra title.
• Her real name is Mona Chopra. She was in her college when she registered for Miss Andhra pageant.
• Sherlyn is the first Indian model to pose nude for Playboy (a famous magazine). In the history of Bollywood, Sherlyn is the first hot chick who is posed on the cover of a men's magazine.
• She will appear in the November issue of the Playboy magazine. While shooting, Sherlyn posted her pictures on Twitter where she posed nude with her hairdresser.
• She has acted in many Bollywood and Telugu films but, didn't succeed. Thus, she started nude photo shoots to get fame and popularity.
• However, the hot and sexy model got more publicity after she aped the Jism 2 poster and posed nude.
• Sherlyn loves her fans and that is why, she keeps posting obscene and sleazy pictures of hers to satisfy her fans (basically men).
• Although created by the media (as we can say after seeing her attempts to be on limelight through Twitter), she always slams the media for commenting on her actions.
• The earlier point can be proved very easily after seeing her cucumber act. Sherlyn exposed, confessed and then lashed at the media.
• Sherlyn is too bold! The model said that she is comfortable to strip whenever required.

* quite surprised and frankly disappointed with top US porn producers (Vivid, DP) who have yet to make a call to Miss Chopra. She is natural born exhibitionist and perfect fit for couple of solo-mast scenes, lezzing with Riley Steele and BG with James Deen.

The naked truth is nudity doesn't hurt

by Jules Quartly (China Daily) 

I'm OK with naked protests. It's a peaceful way of making a point. And after all, there's nothing more natural than the human body and showing it off hurts no one. Yet, it offends public decency and so becomes a high impact form of protest, guaranteed to generate headlines.

The most recent example concerns His Royal Highness Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales, who was photographed partying like it was 1999 in Las Vegas. Pics of the prince barely covering his crown jewels caused ructions in the British establishment and, as is customary on these occasions, the country's press was muzzled and prevented from publishing the offending shots - though they were online for anyone to see.

While Harry wasn't protesting anything - indeed he hasn't got anything to complain about - his fans adopted the power of social networking to show their support for the 27-year-old who is third in line to the throne.

As such the former British soldier Jordan Wylie initiated the "Support Prince Harry With a Naked Salute" Facebook group. To date, about 33,000 people, mostly servicemen and women, have supported Harry's right to get deliriously drunk and parade in his birthday suit, by taking and uploading naked pics of themselves saluting the royal.

Au naturel as a campaign tool is not new. Wikipedia's listing for "Nudity and Protest" suggests one of the first to do so was a group of Russian pacifists at the turn of the 20th century; but the example of Lady Godiva, who paraded in the buff on a white horse through the streets of Coventry to protest taxation in the 11th century is an obvious earlier example.

Latterly, the Ukrainian feminist group Femen has organized nude protests against oil companies, and prostitution during the European soccer championship, among other campaigns. Meanwhile, PETA members often strip off to promote the ethical treatment of animals. Naked cyclists and ramblers have also made their points by dressing down, all the way.

And China is not immune. On Aug 19 at Beijing's Chaoyang Park a woman took off her top to protest against a company in Jilin province that was promoting ginseng. Why? I don't know and who cares? The point is she showed off her breasts in public.

It's tempting to feel sorry for the authorities that have to deal with such protests, because they are put in an indefensible position. While most people don't want to see erogenous zones over their breakfast cereal, they equally don't want people to be jailed for drawing attention to a cause by simply taking off their clothes - something we all do most nights.

Typically in the media, we see an embarrassed policeman trying to cover up the streaker and there's a lighthearted headline making fun of the situation.

On a wider level, "celebrities" like the auto show model Gan Lulu and even major artists such as Lady Gaga and Madonna can gain significant column inches of publicity by flashing the flesh. Even smarter, they pretend it's a wardrobe malfunction a la Janet Jackson.

There's little that can be done to prevent this, so the game goes on. An artist or a protester shows more than they should (according to the morality of the day) and this brings attention. After all, it's not like the majority of people are against nudity or even porn - as the number of related websites suggests.

Logically speaking, you could argue nudity should be a non-issue, since we are born naked and it is after all our natural state. Yet the authorities have a duty to draw the line, defend public decency and make an example of those who transgress. This creates the paradox whereby nudity has commercial and political power.

I guess that if people do want to draw attention to a cause then nudity is preferable to violence or some other forms of protest. So perhaps we should all welcome the status quo.

Photographer Pleads Guilty To Nude Photo Shoot With 14-Year-Old

The following is from the U.S. Attorney's Office:

A Johnson County man who set up a nude photo shoot with a 14-year-old girl has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Tuesday.

Kristopher Hausback, 30, Spring Hill, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. In his plea, Hausback admitted he advertised on Model Mayhem, where aspiring models meet photographers. He mostly solicited friends and relatives to pose as models.

On Aug. 8, 2011, Leawood police officers were called to the Aloft hotel to take a report of a theft. Hausback told them his camera had been stolen. Investigation revealed Hausback had taken nude photographs of a 14-year-old girl who came to the hotel for a “photo shoot.” She had sent her brother a text telling him the name of the hotel and room number. Her stepfather went to the hotel and confronted Hausback. The two scuffled and the stepfather took the camera.

An examination of Hausback’s camera and computer revealed photos he took of another girl who was 16, as well as photos he possessed of minor girls engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

Sentencing is set for Dec. 10. Both parties have agreed to recommend a sentence of not less than 42 months and not more than 96 months in federal prison.

Grissom commended the Leawood Police Department and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim Martin for their work on the case.

Malaysia women urge others to stop taking nude photographs

Malaysia women urging others not to take nude photographs.

KUALA LUMPUR: Jumaya Chang was cautious when her boyfriend at the time asked if he could take photographs of her in the nude. She said she refused. For her, she was just self-conscious at the time, but as more and more women see their naked images posted online, she can’t help but think how lucky she was.
“It has to be really scary for women out there who have taken photos naked by their boyfriends or husbands, especially those couples who aren’t together anymore,” the 24-year-old recent university graduate told Bikyamasr.com on Wednesday as two more women came forward to file police reports against former lovers who posted their images online.

According to the police, one businesswoman said she was blackmailed by her former lover who threatened to put her naked pictures online if she did not give him compensation.
The 29-year-old told reporters that her ex-boyfriend had demanded some RM60,000 in order for the pictures to remain offline.
“He threatened to upload photos of me in the nude. I told him I did not have that kind of money. He then reduced the amount to RM20,000 but demanded another three photographs of me in the nude,” she told reporters at the MCA Complaints and Public Services Department on Tuesday.

It is the latest in a series of “nude photo blackmailing” incidents across Malaysia, after a number of women have filed police reports against former boyfriends for uploading, or threatening to upload, images of them in the buff.

The other victim, identified only as Jenny, 30, said she knew her former lover from school days.
“We started being a couple only last year but things got bad when he frequently beat me for refusing to have sex with him and for other trivial reasons,” she said.

As the situation facing women and their images going online continues to rouse the country, a number of women told Bikyamasr.com that when in relationships that are not solid and based in mutual respect, “women should not be taking these kind of pictures.”

Chang argued that she knows a few friends who are now worried that their former boyfriends could use the photos as leverage if they start to earn a decent amount of money.

“I just hope the government can really put these men in jail because what they are doing is illegal and they should be charged with extortion and pornography,” she added.

Department head Michael Chong reported that 11 cases of sexual harassment had already been reported this year, with four cases involving women whose photographs in the nude were leaked online.

“Some claimed they were duped into believing the photographs were for an art project while others claimed they were unaware they were photographed,” he said.
