Well, this could be a first.
Actress Jenna Fischer is promoting her new film to women by pointing out that it’s full of full frontal male nudity. The film, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, is a spoof of music bios like Walk The Line and, having watched the trailer, I think it looks pretty funny. [...]
British footballer David Beckham has caused a stir by appearing half-naked in an ad for Armani. The viewer just can’t help but notice that the bulge in those bright white undies is, well, fucking huge. The Daily Star has happily speculated on the various items that may be stuffed therin, including “Led Zeppelin, or at [...]
OK, so it’s The Sun, which means we have to take this report with a grain of salt. Even so, it’s rather a thrilling idea to think that current James Bond actor Daniel Craig is keen to get his kit off in the next Bond film.
“I’d go totally nude. I’ve got nothing to hide, [...]
It’s official. Greenpeace is naming the whale Mister Splashy Pants, after the name received 78% of the online poll votes.
They’ve now got an online petition to the Japanese government that says:
To the Japanese Fisheries Agency, I want you to promise that you will NOT kill Mister Splashy Pants and his friends.
That’s just too funny. But [...]
After yesterday’s post about that Abby Winters beat up, I thought I should post this.
Porn and sex in general often get a bad wrap in the mainsteam media. An awful lot of news stories and articles feature an anti-porn and sex-negative slant that help to create a “bad vibe” when it comes to sex in [...]
Zoe Margolis, the Girl With A One Track Mind, has written a piece for the Guardian about the recent Erotica sexuality expo held in London. She says that even though the event attracted record numbers of women, there were hardly any half-naked men on display.
The lack of catering for the straight female audience was [...]
The Guardian has an amusing short piece calling for more male nudity in films, following Viggo Mortensen’s super-duper nude bathhouse scene in Eastern Promises. Naturally the author sees an opportunity to make dozens of penis jokes and runs with it.
The sight of a penis on screen never fails to get people’s attention, despite the fact [...]
I’m re-reading one of my favorite books at the moment: Kushiel’s Dart. It’s a fantasy novel set in an alternative Renaissance Europe - one with a different history and set of religions. The cool part is that on top of all the swashbuckling adventure, intrigue and romance, there’s lashings of down-and-dirty BDSM sex. The heroine [...]
Violet Blue has posted her roundup of her experiences appearing on the Tyra Banks Show to talk about porn for women here.
We don’t get the show here and I’d only vaguely heard of Tyra Banks but it sounds like the kind of show I’d run a mile from anyway. Like Jerry Springer hosted by a [...]
If you ask me to name my most favourite film in the world, I’ll give you two (I can never decide on a final winner). One is The Life Of Brian, the funniest movie ever. The other is Blade Runner.
So naturally I was over the moon to hear that Ridley Scott has released a final [...]
No blog entry yesterday because I went to see the Countdown Spectacular, which is basically a big nostalgic extravaganza featuring a bunch of one hit wonders from the 70s and 80s.
Yes, folks, I have now seen Plastic Bertrand in concert. Oooh wee ooh ooh.. ca plane pour moi!
I also was privy to several thousand [...]
This celebrity gossip site says that Catherine Zeta Jones is turned on by men wearing aprons and little else.
‘A man in an apron is a great turn-on for me,’ she tells Weekend magazine. ‘It’s such a sensual thing to be cooked for, to have a man on a date say: “Would you like to come [...]
I went to see the new Harry Potter film the other day and found myself admiring the gorgeous Gary Oldman who plays Harry’s godfather Sirius Black.
Maybe it’s that beard… I had a thing for him in Dracula as well.
The other appealing aspect about him is his impressive acting ability. He’s one of the few actors [...]
Everybody knows that women talk more than men, right? We’re just naturally communicative creatures who like to discuss our thoughts and feelings more than men do.
Nope.
Turns out men and women use roughly the same amount of words each day, taking into account individual variations. A new study published in Science magazine has found that women [...]
Viewers will get a full-frontal flash of Bart Simpson’s penis in the upcoming Simpson’s movie.
News.com.au reports on a “disturbing image” in the film when Bart skateboards in the nude after taking a bet from Homer.
After a series of fortuitous cover-ups, there is a fleeting glimpse of the 10-year-old’s modest, but distinctly yellow, penis.
Ah, modest but [...]
If anybody questions the usefulness of Live Earth, I give them this: Spinal Tap reformed (again) and performing Big Bottom with a bevy of beefy bass players.
Whenever you’re feeling down about the size of your arse, listen to this song. It’s hard not to feel good again.
By the way, please visit my page listing the [...]
Jessica Alba wants to see more nude men in magazines.
The Sun reports comments by the actress about her approval of male nudity:
“Men’s magazines have nipples, so why don’t women have a magazine where men show their penises?
“If there was a magazine like that I’d buy it. Nudity’s not a big deal to me.
“I won’t go [...]
This is the new anti-speeding ad from the NSW government. It shows women holding up their pinky fingers after young men engage in hoony behaviour in their cars, speeding off and doing burnouts.
I have to say, I like it, if only because it’s similar to a joke I’ve been making for ages whenever a young [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote about the Nando’s pole dancing mother ad.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s been the subjects of numerous complaints to the Australian Advertising Standards Bureau. I’m pleased to say that they’ve given the ad the thumbs up.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
The board of the Advertising Standards Bureau agreed, ruling that pole dancing was [...]
I’ve created a list of my top 10 heavy metal crotches, featuring videos of guys showing off their wares via extremely tight pants. I used to be a metal fan when I was 16.
I’ve actually been working on this list for nearly two months. I can’t believe how long it’s taken me to finish it. [...]
We Aussies have only just begun to watch Torchwood, the Doctor Who spinoff series from the BBC, and I’m damned impressed. What really stands out is that this series is unashamedly bisexual and/or gay. We’re only up to the second episode and already there’s been two same-sex kisses.
In episode one the guy uses his special [...]
On the weekend I went to see a performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. I’d always loved the O Fortuna chorus, since I first saw it in the film Excalibur many years ago. That piece of music inspired me to go out and buy my first classical CD. And on Saturday I got off my [...]
On Thursday night I saw the third Pirates of the Caribbean film. The plot was more complicated than your small intestine and we left the theatre thinking its subtitle should have been: POTC 3: Endless Piration. My biggest complaint was Captain Jack Sparrow didn’t get enough screen time. Sure, there’s a desert island scene, but [...]
Today is the 30th anniversary of the US release of Star Wars, a fact that no doubt has millions of Generation Xers such as myself feeling rather old.
Naturally this has started me musing about the impact Star Wars had on my life, especially as I became quite obsessed with it when I was 10. And [...]
