Well, that's rather offensive! Last week reports surfaced that, according to a new tell-all book, Sarah Palin once bedded NBA player Glen Rice. And because this is former VP candidate and half-term Alaskan governor Sarah Palin we're talking about, the story got lots of media attention. And among all those talking heads it seems that one Mike Tyson gets the cake for most offensive public response, which he gleefully shared with KWWN, ESPN's Las Vegas affiliate. more ›

If we were to make a list of all the people who dislike Carl Paladino, it would be a damn long list at this point. But right at the top of that list would have to be WNYMedia, the liberal Buffalo political blog who has been gunning for Carl since before he was a twinkle in our speedo-jiggling eyes. They released the bestiality emails last spring which started our state's love affair with Crazy Carl, and they've now set up a new website, Paladinoporn.com, with tons more salacious, inappropriate, salty dog Paladino-mails. more ›

Across the country yesterday, Go Topless hosted annual rallies in an attempt to give women the same topless rights as men. And though the ladies of New York have been able to bare their breasts sine 1992, they marched in solidarity and against the social taboos that still keep most women covered up. However, some spectators apparently thought the whole thing was a "lewd spectacle." more ›

This isn't the first time that Brooklyn Paper Editor Gersh Kuntzman has gone too far in his web videos. He has already posed nude and documented himself using the bathroom, but it's safe to say that nothing he — or any semi-reputable journalist — has ever done will make you feel as uncomfortable as this PG-but-very-suggestive video. more ›

A dwarf bowling tournament planned for Staten Island bar Big Nose Kate’s has been cancelled after an unidentified scold alerted the media to the event, which was to be hosted Saturday by d-list celebrity dwarf minstrel Beetlejuice (pictured), an occasional guest on the Howard Stern show. In dwarf bowling, players take turns rolling a dwarf (wearing protective gear) on a skateboard down makeshift bowling alleys toward small pins. In exchange for his dignity, the dwarf/bowling ball earns more than $100 an hour, according to Beetlejuice’s co-manager. more ›

An actress who insists her screaming orgasm was misrepresented in a web ad is suing Szul, the jewelry company who hired her. The 35-second spot depicts the 37-year-old woman – identified in court papers as Jane Doe – wearing a teal teddy while writhing and moaning in bed. When her ecstasy turns climactic, the ad’s slogan appears on the screen: “Rock Her World.” Genius, right?! more ›

We're really surprised no one thought of this sooner: vintage healthcare! Well, sort of. Jay Parkinson declares he is a "new kind of physician," and he is. Revolutionary, in fact. Based out of Williamsburg, he's bringing healthcare to those who wouldn't normally be able to receive it without breaking the bank...giving the uninsured masses a reason to breathe a sigh of relief. He's also mixing this idea with an old one: house calls! more ›

A reader sent us this horrible but all-too-familiar story:

I was on the 7 train riding from Flushing Main Street when a man sat across from me (a few stops before 82nd street Jackson Heights he got on) with a newspaper on his lap pretending to be sleeping. I glanced over and to my horror all his goods were in plain view. I did not react and I pulled out my cell phone and took a picture of him. He got really nervous and was rustling around; I then proceeded to call 911 as I was still sitting across from him and was giving a description of him as I was looking right at him. He got nervous and got off at the next stop which was 82nd Street-Jackson Heights. more ›

Earlier this week, the FDNY Foundation, a non-profit that raises money for FDNY causes, released the 2008 edition of its popular Calendar of Heroes, featuring some of the Bravest's bare-chested hunks posing in all parts of New York City and thrilling many. But after the calendar crew appeared on the Today show, the eagle-eyed realized that cover boy Michael Biserta, of Ladder Co. 131 in Red Hook, was also featured in a Guys Gone Wild video, showing, as the Post calls it, "his God-given hose." So now the FDNY has decided to stop making the Calendar of Heroes. God, Joe Francis ruins everything! more ›

Studying for the LSATs is nothing compared to stripping down for Playboy TV! The Daily News reports that Adriana Dominguez is getting a lot of attention for a naked romp that is circulating on the Internet. Dominiguez posed for Playboy TV's "Naked Happy Girls" - episode, "Rock Star and the Lawyer" (here's a link - definitely NSFW) - where she gets spanked and poses with gavels among other things. Though the show aired in January, a clip has been forwarded to law schools and law firms in the past month. more ›

The pseudonymous Lux Nightmare burst onto the alt porn scene as a college student at Columbia where she launched the naked-guy-and-girl site That Strange Girl, featuring stills and video of herself and numerous other models who looked like they could be her fellow classmates. At a time when Suicide Girls and Burning Angel were coming to prominence, That Strange Girl (who, full disclosure, this interviewer posed for) was a homegrown, indie entry in the genre. Cut to the present, where Nightmare has since folded her XXX business and is a member of Gotham Girls Roller Derby, teaches sex ed to teenagers in East Harlem, and runs the smarty-pants sex site Sexerati, where she conducts interviews, explores Dating 2.0, and explains terms like "the pink ghetto." (Warning: many of the links in this interview are NSFW.) Currently, the "non porn star" is working on a book proposal about her time in the alt porn trenches. more ›

Michael Riedel has double-the-entendre fun with his rumor-laced news that the London revival of Equus – yes, that Equus starring the Harry Potter kid naked as a jaybird – is going to Broadway! According to Riedel’s sources, “one problem, though, is the length.” Wait for it... Wait for it... “Of the play, people, the play!” But producers seem cocksure, despite a couple small problems regarding young Daniel Radcliffe: “Where he comes up short (at least in one instance) is in the sex-appeal department… he's bulked up. But he's surprisingly asexual, my spies say.” more ›

Bucky at Animal has the scoop on an exhibit of photographs with the late Harold Hunter. A skateboarder and an actor, Hunter died in February, and these photographs will be sold in a silent auction to benefit the Harold Hunter Foundation, non-profit to promote skateboarding to underprivileged inner-city youth. Bucky has shots of some of the photographs which are "as diverse and as wild as Harold’s crazy ass was" (including ones with a "younger Rosario Dawson and a very NSFW photo of Harold in Japan"). more ›

Fans of urban exploration photography and naked women, rejoice, for your day has finally arrived! Naked City Spleen features dozens of pictures of Miru Kim posing in front of various urban ruins, including but not limited to the recently destroyed Greenpoint Terminal Market and the very-soon-to-be-leveled Red Hook Sugar Factory. And lest you think this is just about cheap thrills, Miru has a long essay explaining the project: more ›

writer Jeff Whitty among them at one point) an old favorite bar and dining room is now reborn. When Michael Howett and Richard Bach first opened the place on Elizabeth Street, it was the first bar and dining room there and those who knew it remember the nude paintings, eccentricities, ancient wine bottles and tchotchkes well. So well that customers asked after them for years -- til now, when all the nude paintings you could be missing are rightfully rehung, this time in the basement. The dining angle is mostly tapas and some main courses, from all over, well complimented by wine and a bar that focuses heavily on the whiskey. As much as thouse nudes may remind you of figure study classes, the whiskey will bring you back even quicker. For those missing The Slide, the gay, gay, gay space M & R took over, we'd recommend the awesome Mr. Black's, just a few blocks away (Tricia Romano looks at the bar's main attraction to NSFW results). more ›
