Britney Spears tweeted photos of herself filming an ad for a game that she’s promoting called Twister Dance. She looks pretty damn amazing in it–nice abs, Brit! Oh, and she’s wearing a sports bra, which is not news, especially because we’re pretty sure she basically does everything in bra tops. But this one is extra Read more →
Earlier today, the Internet was all a flutter with the newly released nudie pics of an extremely pregnant (it’s been what, ten months now?) Jessica Simpson on the cover of Elle. The April 2012 spread was photographed by Carter Smith and styled by Joe Zee, but they clearly got some inspiration, elsewhere. Since Annie Leibovitz shot a naked and pregnant Demi Moore for Vanity Fair twenty-one years ago, it seems like pregnant celebs everywhere have been clamoring to strip down for the newsstands.n At this point, it’s practically a right of passage for expectant stars, as well as an informal announcement that “exclusive first baby pictures!” will be shopped around in the near future. Is pregnancy a valid excuse for famous women (most of whom would scoff at an offer from Playboy in normal circumstances) to take it all off?
Take a look at our investigation of the fascinating (and at times, extremely uncomfortable) history of the naked, pregnant magazine cover. Do you think it’s a celebration or just exploitation? And does a pregnant naked person really make you want to buy a magazine? We want to hear what you think.
Pop princess Britney Spears announced her engagement to Jason Trawick last month, and like any bride, is wasting no time thinking about the most important wedding detail: the dress.
And rather than doing something predictable, like a choosing gown by the queen of wedding dress designers Vera Wang, or taking a page out of Kate Middleton‘s book and rocking a McQueen frock, the Belfast Telegraph is reporting that Ms. Spears is “thinking about asking one of her favourite designers, someone like Betsey Johnson or her friend Jeremy Scott. If it’s Jeremy, it’ll be more futuristic. If she picks Betsey, it’ll still be edgy but more traditional, with a lot of layering.”
If anything, her unorthodox taste in dress designers makes it clear that Britney wants to make a statement at her wedding. Here are a few pieces from Jeremy and Betsey that might fit the bill for what she’s looking for.

Does J.

It seems like you can’t walk ten feet without seeing a nipple today. First, Lady Gaga all over the CFDA awards, then Khloe Kardashian’s six minute exposed nipple extravaganza on Fox and Friends this morning, during which she sat chatting with the hosts in a see through top and no bra. (Showing no embarrassment, Khloe later tweeted: “Thank God! I f*cking love nipples!!!!”)
In honor of these two class acts, we decided to do a nip slip retrospective. You may be surprised at some of the starlets who’ve let their girls come out unannounced. Yes, the usual suspects like Mischa and Paris are there, but so are Keira Knightley and Beyonce.
