Do you know what offends Park Slope breastfeeding moms more than banning breastfeeding? Covering up artwork that features nipples! A painting of a topless woman at Tea Lounge on Union Street was briefly censored, thanks to a concerned employee. more ›

We've been following the story of Canz, the Long Island-based boobs-and-sports bar that's been poaching Hooters girls, with some curiosity for a while now. The latest curve in this strange trip involves the brand-new, CC Sabathia-blessed Murray Hill location, which opened last week with plenty of booze but apparently without a liquor license. more ›

You remember Canz, right? The mammary-centric Long Island chain twisted in a nasty tit-for-tat with rival restaurant Hooters? Well, Canz is coming to Manhattan—Murray Hill, to be exact (where else?)—with some heavy-hitting support on its side. more ›

Though we're all born naked, some people (and cops) aren't comfortable around naked bodies, especially boobies. And though it is totally legal to go topless on the street, it isn't everywhere. So what's a lady ticketed for being topless in Grand Central to do? Why, go to court and strip, of course! What's more, when Holly Van Voast did just that yesterday she managed to make it work out just fine. more ›

Well, here's a classy rivalry: in what the Post is calling a "battle of the boobs," upstart mammary-centric Long Island restaurant Canz has been stealing busty waitstaff away from the neighboring Hooters. more ›

For Real Housewives and porn stars, it's practically part of their professions. Sexy banker had two of them in hopes of transforming herself into "Tits on a stick." But it seems that everyone in America is into boob jobs...except maybe when they get four breasts out of it. more ›

The NY Times has at least two stories about bras today. There's a Styles section piece on small breasted-women feeling empowered while the New York section has an interview with bra store owner Linda Becker, who says of breasts' changing nature, "All through life your breasts change. You work out, you have babies, you have a condition, you lose weight, you gain weight, you’re lifting weights, your back gets bigger. Sometimes you do none of these things and your breasts change. I always say breasts have a mind of their own. They’re like two bad kids. If you don’t control them, they’re out of control." more ›

After Facebook removed photos of breast-feeding mothers from profile pages and albums, a protest group—on Facebook, naturally—has emerged. The "Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!" has almost 60,000 members who support nursing moms' right to post photos of breast-feeding their babies. The Daily News reports that Facebook only removes photos shown with full boob—Facebook wants the site to "[remain] a safe, secure and trusted environment for all users, including the many children [over the age of 13]"—but Mothers International Lactation Campaign has asked folks, on December 27, "change your profile picture for one day, to one which includes an image of a nursing mom." A Brooklyn lactation consultant tells the News, "The more people see breast-feeding, the more normal it becomes. It's a natural, beautiful state to be in." Previously, breast-feeding moms have taken on Toys R Us, Barbara Walters, and formula. more ›

Perhaps it was the near-freezing temperatures at yesterday's Jets-Browns game that kept breasts covered, but that weather didn't stop crowds from flocking to Gate D at Giants Stadium for a halftime ritual - men yelling at women to expose their breasts and throwing bottles or spitting at them if they don't. Despite an attempt to shut down rowdy fan behavior at Gate D, things didn't seem to change that much at all since new procedures... more ›

D is for drunk and disorderly, not boobs and breasts. At least according to New Jersey State Senator Richard Codey. The Times first reported yesterday on the halftime events at Gate D at Giants Stadium during Jets games. Hundreds of fans gather on the exit ramp, chanting at women and encouraging them to expose their breasts. If they don't lift their shirts, the women are met with boos and sometimes are spit at or have... more ›

In 2005 Barbara Walters mentioned her distaste for public breastfeeding on The View and was met at the show's studio with "lactivists" protesting her statement. more ›

The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week! more ›

7:06PM First thoughts: Gael Garcia Bernal is so cute. Ryan Seacrest is an idiot, as are Joan and Melissa Rivers. But we want to know what Jennifer Lopez is wearing! (It turns out to be Marchesa.) more ›

February 10th and 17th, class is in session at the UCB Theater. Welcome to the Al Pacino School of Acting , where you learn from the master, portrayed by Cesar Gracia. Audience members will have the opportunity to pick up some of the tricks of the trade as Pacino calls them onstage and brings out the true auteur in them. more ›

- News Director Peter Landis once asked her to turn around in a dress she had on so he could "get a good look at it," We love that the Post made sure to take a picture of Sammarco with the photograph (we bet it's "exhibit A" in the lawsuit). Sammarco's lawyer says that ever since she filed the lawsuit in 2002, she's been blackballed. NY1 says the lawsuit is without merit and that Sammarco was fired because her work was "not good."

Walking to the post office this afternoon, we noticed that the huge Michael Chemiakin sculpture in front of the Mimi Fritz gallery was gone, leaving only a rusted square on the pavement to mark its passing. The sculpture, "Cybele, the Goddess of Fertility", had been in front of the gallery on Prince between Greene and Wooster for as long as we can remember. On the weekends it is a huge hit with tourists-- who love to giggle and stand in front of it for pictures. In addition to the 16 boobs, Cybele features 8 butt cheeks, which are helpfully displayed using a mirror. more ›

Ever since the Apple store on Fifth Avenue opened its glass doors to the public we knew that eventually somebody was going to throw a story around about its similarities to the Kaaba in Mecca. And so we weren't really at all surprised when we saw this story in the Post today. We were, however, impressed with whomever wrote the articles hed: "QAEDA CUBE BOOBS 'MECCA' BIG STINK." more ›

If you have a weak stomach, feel free to move along. Star Jones allayed the fears of her numerous fans yesterday when she called into The View and told her co-hosts that she's doing OK. For those of you that don't know, Jones had a breast lift and implants on March 17th. The 44 year-old Jones said her "boobs think they're still 20." Excuse us while we wipe the vomit from our mouths. more ›

Just in case you had to actually go to work today (shouldn't Halloween be a national holiday?) we've taken the time to screencap the annual Today Show halloween buffonery. Award for best costume definitely goes to Ann Curry, who makes a fairly convincing Audrey Hepburn. Note to Katie Couric: you need bigger boobs to pull off Marilyn Monroe! And we think it's demeaning that Al Roker has to be Robin-- why couldn't he have dressed up as one of the famous black superheroes? Oh wait-- there aren't any! Damn racist comic book companies. more ›

Gothamist hates the NY Post just a little more in our love-hate relationship with the dishy tabloid, because of this story:

The demanding diva announced yesterday on live TV that she's willing to undergo elective surgery to have her breasts enlarged because her new husband, Al Reynolds, "cares about boobs." She wants, "a little lift, they're saggy," Jones told viewers on yesterday's edition of "The View."

Gothamist wonders what Frank Costanza, inventor of the brassiere for men, "The Bro," would think. Perhaps he'd call it an early Festivus gift. more ›
