Miranda Kerr: Nude Photo Harper's Bazaar Australia, Jan/Feb 2016

Miranda Kerr.

Our home-grown beauty was shot in Los Angeles earlier this year by the Harper's Bazaar Australia team.

Shot at The London West Hollywood, clothes sourced were not high on the priority list.

As Harper's Bazaar Australia editor in chief Kellie Hush stated in this month's editor's letter "What we captured between outfit changes was a woman who is incredibly comfortable in her own skin (and why wouldn't you be?)." 

The Jan/Feb 2016 issue makes this Miranda's fifth Harper's BAZAAR Australia cover, having previously played cover star for their December 2009, November 2011, Jan/Feb 2014 and most recently March 2015 issues.

Wowsers, Ms Kerr.

Pirelli Calendar 2016: Amy Schumer, Yoko Ono, Serena Williams, and more: PHOTOS + VIDEO

All day, people have been sharing and applauding the NEW, just in Pirelli Calendar.

It's now THIS version... mostly clothed women, not models... and then... Amy Schumer!

See the pics below, and a behind the scenes show reel here:

Amy stripped off for famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, leading the ultimate girl squad of smart and talented ladies posing in black-and-white photos for the 43rd edition of the wildly famous Pirelli Calendar.

Amy declared of her pics: "I've never felt more beautiful."

Also featured, below:

Tennis great Serena Williams, Yao Chen, the first Chinese UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, legendary singer Patti Smith, supermodel-turned-humanitarian Natalia Vodianova, Lucasfilm producer Kathleen Kennedy, patroness Agnes Gund, critic and writer Fran Lebowitz and charity boss Melody Hobson, as well as film director Ava DuVernay, young blogger Tavi Gevinson, Iranian visual artist Shirin Neshat and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono.

The calendar, first published in 1964, is famous for its limited availability and is given to a small number of Pirelli customers and celebrity VIPs.

Annie Leibovitz shot the work last July in her New York studio, during which behind-the-scenes footage was taken.

Playboy to Drop Nudity: PHOTOS

You may have just heard that Playboy magazine will be dropping nudes from it's pictorials.

Yes, really.

And so, you'll not be seeing as much skin as this (apparently):

And this (yes, that's Kim Kardashian):

Yep. Charlize Theron.

Says the excellent article to explain it all in the New York Times:

Playboy’s circulation has dropped from 5.6 million in 1975 to about 800,000 now, according to the Alliance for Audited Media. Many of the magazines that followed it have disappeared. Though detailed figures are not kept for adult magazines, many of those that remain exist in severely diminished form, available mostly in specialist stores. Penthouse, perhaps the most famous Playboy competitor, responded to the threat from digital pornography by turning even more explicit. It never recovered.

You see, last month, Cory Jones, a top editor at Playboy, went to see its founder Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion.

The New York Times piece says:

In a wood-paneled dining room, with Picasso and de Kooning prints on the walls, Mr. Jones nervously presented a radical suggestion: the magazine, a leader of the revolution that helped take sex in America from furtive to ubiquitous, should stop publishing images of naked women.

Mr. Hefner, now 89, but still listed as editor in chief, agreed. As part of a redesign that will be unveiled next March, the print edition of Playboy will still feature women in provocative poses. But they will no longer be fully nude.

Its executives admit that Playboy has been overtaken by the changes it pioneered. “That battle has been fought and won,” said Scott Flanders, the company’s chief executive. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it’s just passé at this juncture.”

And so, from March, not as much nudity.

Here is the very first Playboy cover, in 1953, featuring the iconic Marilyn Monroe:

Lenny Kravitz #penisgate: PHOTO + VIDEO

Overnight, a social media savvy friend, who also has a penchant for having a perve (who doesn't, c'mon) sent me the uncensored photo of Lenny Kravitz with his penis exposed… and pierced.

To protect some modicum of decency for poor ol' Lenny (honestly, I don't think this uber cool, bona fide rockstar cares), here is the censored shot (there maaaaay be an uncensored one if you keep scrolling down…)

Suffice to say… it's ample, and out and proud, and pierced.

During a very cool rocking out kinda squat, Lenny ripped his leather pants, as you do. It was at a performance at Stockholm and of course, many cameras snapped and footage was taken.

Okay, okay… we have it here:

We're proud to say Lenny was interviewed by yours truly many years ago, for the fabulous Cream magazine.

Here is that cover and story. Ah, Lenny. Still the most perfect, Smartie-like belly button I have EVER seen:

And then, Steven Tyler's response of course:

And, the memes are here (okay, here is peek at THAT PHOTO):

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Juergen Teller PHOTOS 'System'

Have you seen this yet?

The new shoot by renowned photographer Juergen Teller featuring Kim Kardashian, husband Kanye West (styled by Kanye West), with cameos by Juergen (in the red puffer jacket) and Kanye.

It's for a special booklet produced by called System, which will soon be available on their website, and will also be available for sale at Dover Books in London on Saturday and in New York on July 18.

The photos were taken at France’s Château d’Ambleville when Kim still had her short stint with blonde hair.

The portfolio of photographs is titled “Kanye, Juergen & Kim,” with the cover featuring a kiss between the couple. That photo and the pics below:

I get it, I like it. I find it kinda sexy and it's typically Juergen Teller. Do you like it?
