Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal (who's only 22!) has some fun in the sun with his equally hot girlfriend on the island of Mauritius...
If my beach bod looked like his, I'd never wear a shirt!

We already showed you the shots of Mario Lopez's bootilicious gal pal, but it looks like another Miami beach bum wanted to give her a run for her money! We spotted the modelish looking chick on the right in a barely there g-string, and we're trying to figure out who she is. At first glance we thought it might be one of the newbie Victoria's Secret angels - can you ID her? And who has the better butt?!
Check out the gallery below to see the uncensored shots!

Sara Jean Underwood, who achieved the noble title of Playmate of the Year back in 2007, was at the Tabu Ultra Lounge in Las Vegas for some special event the other night. There's no doubt that Sara is a plastic pretty girl, but we have to wonder if she's guilty of drunk dressing. It appears as though the Playboy bunny hoisted her skirt up to her boobs and superglued it to the bottom of her lacy bra, which seems like a good idea if you've had say, 5 shots of Patron, but in any other situation, it's definitely a crime.
Do you even care about her?

The worse things get in America, the lower the quality of the meat we're willing to consume. Hormel's favorite whatzit Spam is preparing to survive the recession quite well, says the NYT, even allowing some of its employees to purchase televisions! As real Spam flies off the shelves, profits from virtual spam are on the decline. Tasty, salty, injected-with-something Spam is slighter better than having to delete an unwanted e-mail from your inbox, you have to admit:
The Minnesota factory is working seven days a week to churn out the product that even someone unemployed can afford and enjoy:
"People are realizing it’s not that bad a product," said Dan Johnson, 55, who operates a 70-foot-high Spam oven. ...Because it is vacuum-sealed in a can and does not require refrigeration, Spam can last for years. Hormel says "it’s like meat with a pause button."
The benefits aren't limited to Hormel employees — the Times is more than willing to patronize the people who buy it. We'll guess that the fact-checker didn't exactly call a Wal-Mart in Cleveland to check this detail:
A rising segment of the public, it seems, does have a taste for Spam, which is available in several varieties, including Spam Low Sodium, Spam with Cheese and Spam Hot & Spicy. James Bate, a 48-year-old sausage maker, was buying it at Wal-Mart in Cleveland recently. Not only was it cheap, but he said it brought back fond memories of his grandfather’s making him Spam sandwiches. "You can mix it with tomatoes and onions and make a good meal out of it,” he said. "A little bit of this stuff goes a long way."
Although at $3.20 a pound, Spam isn't that cheap, but it lasts forever and requires substantially less preparation than anything short of popcorn. And since there's no waste, you can save the money to buy that $65 Spam costume you've always wanted.

Tomorrow you can sit down and read the New York Times Book Review childrens' literature special insert. The annual feature is one way to find a choice picture book to give to a young person, and it also gives us the gift of the insane seriousness with which the Times reviewers treat the subject. The task of making these kinds of books relevant to the adult reader is admittedly a difficult one, and yet the best of the overwrought sentences that follow truly make us feel like children again. Unbelievably stupid children.
Our favorite five bon mots:
5. "The story is told in a fluid, seemingly effortless manner. Neither showy nor dull, the text has that feeling of giving you the right words in the right order with the right pacing," http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/09/books/review/Rosenthal-t.html?ref=authors" target="_blank">says Amy Krouse Rosenthal about Jon Agee's The Retired Kid. Chills, Amy.
4. In his review of Doreen Rappaport's Lady Liberty, James McMullan breaks out the big guns: "The book also provides several pages of facts about the statue and its history: important events, selected sources, an author’s note and an illustrator’s note. This added material seems totally appropriate for the smart, practical kid I can imagine poring over this volume." Don't push us too far, James. We don't want to hear this semiotics bullshit. Stick to the here and now.
3. Some of the best moments happen when the critic is forced to really tear into the author, as when John Green writes of Susan Beth Pfeffer's The Dead and the Gone, "Some of the plot seems more symbolically resonant than realistic — Alex, for instance, takes coats and shoes from dead people to trade for food, and it’s hard to imagine a shoe shortage in a mostly depopulated Manhattan." A shoe shortage is what he doesn't find believable. I hope he doesn't start reading The Retired Kid.
2. We feel for Becca Zerkin, who is given the heady task of reviewing alphabet books. Her opening line is "If only life were as tidy as an alphabet book." No words.
1.: The big prize has to go to children's book critic Leonard S. Marcus, author of Minders of Make-Believe: Idealists, Entrepreneurs, and the Shaping of American Children’s Literature. In his review of The Monster Who Ate Darkness, he summarizes the villain in the following fashion: "But to a small child the dark can be palpably real, a malleable and at times sinister medium, and the suggestion that a monster might exert a beneficial influence in a small child’s world is one that brims with possibilities." Amazing, Leonard. You may collect your prize.
Ouch! Good thing it's just Terry O'Quinn on the Lost set in Hawaii.

Since we're such big fans of Time book critic Lev Grossman, this week's review of John Updike's latest book troubles us that much more. Updike apparently has images of Grossman tearing through The Da Vinci Code somewhere, because we can't think of any other reason to toss Philip Roth aside so quickly and embrace John Updike so completely as he does in his review of their latest efforts. The adulation becomes unbearable starting now.
Lev Grossman fellates Updike with a knowing look as Updike cradles his bald head in a three part essay that also addresses Philip Roth and Toni Morrison. Grossman's highest praise is for the man from his alma mater:
It's a cruel irony: in an age when straight talk and authenticity are all anybody wants from writers, Updike is cursed with the unfashionable gift of eloquence. His prose is so effortlessly fluid, it gets him tagged as a lightweight, a silver-tongued devil: all art, no matter. But who has written more intelligently or more ruthlessly about sex and the suburbs than Updike?
Richard Yates. Leonard Michaels. Robert Coover. Thomas Pynchon. Evan S. Connell. Richard Ford. Hell, even Tom Wolfe. Then again, what is a Harvard guy going to say about another Harvard guy? Seriously:
One wonders whether anybody has ever described the small physical indignities of the aging process with as much tenderness and good humor as Updike.
We have to hope that by asking this many inane rhetorical questions about John Updike's greatness, he is taking a bullet for us all so that no one will wonder sincerely, "Have anyone described a blowjob better than that old SOB?"
Even non-Ivy leaguer and New York Times Books Review editor Sam Tanenhaus can't keep Updike's balls out of his mouth this Sunday.

Except for all the crazy facial expressions, of course. Nevertheless, I loved Sugar Ray back in the day (you all loved "Fly," just admit it) and I guess Mark has proven himself still somewhat-famous by showin' up at Crown Bar last night...

Several months ago we passed judgment on "conscious" rapper Common—he's fundamentally a tool. Not for his music, which is cool enough, but because he merrily goes around selling himself as a pitchman for everything from Smirnoff to GAP, while simultaneously yapping on and on about his true devotion to hip hop and love and art and The Corner and acting like these "brand partnerships" somehow represent something deeper than just a paycheck. It's incredibly grating. Like his outfits. Well, now Common is speaking out (to Ad Age, appropriately) about how he's totally keeping it real by selling product placement spots in a video for his new song called—wait for it—"Universal Mind Control." Tell us, how dead is irony?:
M&V: I saw the video for "Universal Mind Control," and I almost missed the Zune that appeared in the first five seconds.
Common: The video, or any visual, is very important to me, and for me to be open to showing a product in my video means a lot, because it's a representation of me. With anything I associate myself with, I think, "Is it gonna help or bring me down?" The Zune is something that I've been confident about associating myself with, because I think it's got a fly presentation to it. It is truly about music lovers, for me.
God, the entire interview is just that ridiculous. I remember when Common said this:
I might've failed to mention that the shit was creative
But once the man got you well he altered the native
Told her if she got an energetic gimmick
That she could make money, and she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials, shes universal
She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip
And on some dumb shit, when she comes to the city...But ima take her back hopin that the shit stop
Cause who Im talkin bout yall is hip-hop
Who knew she had so many crazy lively facial expressions!

Failed actress and former TV personality Vanessa Minnillo enjoys some shopping in Los Angeles this past weekend. If only she could buy a career!

Though she's often seen dancing at nightclubs and stealing fur coats around the city, actress Lindsay Lohan doesn't actually live in New York. Yet. She and probable girlfriend deejay Samantha Ronson are rumored to be looking to relocate from Los Angeles to the big rotten apple, possibly in the Dakota building (Yoko!) of all places. So what might their reasons be?
We don't think it's that old saw about how real New York celebrities are. You know that one about how they live boho lifestyles, free from the nagging press and prying eye (everyone pretends not to notice!). They're people like Keri Russell and the late Heath Ledger and, um, the Olsen twins? See therein lies the rub. The kind of celebrity that Lohan is, like the Olsens, isn't the kind who can just turn in a well-respected performance and then retreat, Julianne Moore-esque, back into civilian life. No, Lohan is a clubgoer and a partyer and—at this point it must be assumed—a huge fan of the paparazzi cameras. I mean, if she is coming to the city to live that whole quiet life thing, she's doin it rong.
The Dakota isn't exactly a secret enclave of the city. She'll be right smack dab in the middle of things, ready to mix it up with crazed celebrity hounds uptown and downtown. According to News of the World, Lohan "plans to make [the apartment] a hotbed for parties.” Ugh. Though, I guess it's almost respectable that she's not going in for that "I'm just going to live in Brooklyn and be a person" cliched lie. So yeah, we suspect that Lohan is moving here for that maybe-still-lingering "cool New York celebrity" factor (not the homey "cool", the Beatrice "cool") and because LA is probably sick of her and she of it. So there. She's going to flaunt it and we'll (maybe) have to deal with it and that will be that. I suppose the Upper West Side could use two more lesbians anyway.
Update: From an Observer article on the whole matter:
A resident of The Dakota has emailed the Daily Transom with the following missive, presented here unadulterated:
"The Dakota, a salud sanctorium that once was home to Boris Karloff, William Inge, Judy Holliday, Leonard Bernstein, Jo Mielziner, Hiro, Rudolf Nureyev, Judy Garland, Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney, among others, is no longer a building that welcomes actors, directors, scenic designers, musicians, painters, sculptors, playwrights or any other practitioner of the creative arts. All they want today is hedge fund managers, money-grabbing Wall Street crooks, dubious CEOs and other corporate zombies with deep pockets. After turning away Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, and after heading Harrison Ford off at the pass before he even made an offer, I can assure you beyond a reasonable doubt, that a snowball from Hell would have a better chance of getting into The Dakota than Lindsay Lohan."
If you're reading this right now, they you probably weren't out all of last night partying it up on the Lower East Side ... with the "Gossip Girl" cast!!@#!1!!! Can you believe it? Hollywood stars right here in our little town! OMFG, indeed. Photos, stalker stories, and catering truck reviews should be sent here, so that this editor can finally figure out what this show actually is. We do have a couple of mini-reports so far and you'll never guess who Chase is kissing now! (He's the gay one right?) Spoiler alert?
That's actors Chase Crawford and Taylor Momsen down on Ludlow St.! What a cute couple! Or ... he is so wrong for her! Help us out—what's the correct answer here?

Horrible piece of garbage Tucker Max has issued a challenge to Gawker. He bets ten grand that we will underestimate how much the film version of his silly book for teenagers who like to watch each other jerk off will earn at the box office. And accuses us of being elitists who presume to be arbiters of taste. Surely, we are elitist, in that none of us consider a ham-fisted frat shit like him who has never committed an honest emotion to paper in any effectual way to be, in fact, a writer. At least that is my stand. I think he is merely a frightened little wuss who has to treat people badly because he thinks his mommy stole his penis. But let's get into his challenge, and my—not Gawker's—response after the jump.
Here is this fool's accusation against Gawker as a whole (read the rest here):
As you may be aware, the media blog Gawker has, for the last three weeks, been posting about me and this movie. Gawker's schtick is to be hateful and snarky about everything other than themselves, so of course they are comically negative and attacking in their posts about me. For example:
They seem to think it's controversial that I'm an asshole, they don't like that I have hot girls in my movie, they apparently hate the FBI, they accuse me of plagiarizing myself, they think my stories are fake and in the SAME post say everyone has similar stories, they believe clearly made up emails (even when my REAL assistant writes to say it's fake), and they even criticize me for being professional to actresses and loving my dog. And of course, they think my movie sucks, even though their "source" on set tells them that it's good.
First, we haven't been arbitrarily hateful in quite some time, you fucking twerp. We are hateful against you because... Oh, wait. I am only writing for myself. Let me begin again.
I don't hate you, Tucker. I think you're a sad piece of nothing that floated along and got caught on some corner of the net when it was still impressed by college boy antics beyond giving them two minutes of Youtube time. I say your stories are fake at THE SAME TIME (wow, Tuck, caps are an effective rhetorical device!) as I say every frat boy tells those stories, because every frat boy's stories are mostly bullshit. Most frat boys only try to sell their crap to their friends, and not for money. Even Opie and Anthony called bullshit on you. How often do they call bullshit on anyone? You know most of your stories aren't true, and that's part of what makes you behave like a caged-in fucking maniac.
The other reason I would hate you if you were worth the passion: You soooo clearly fucking hate and fear women, brah! My God, can you write one word about them where you're not demeaning—literally—the shit out of them? It's not okay with most people that a guy who sells 400,000 copies of a bad book he mostly invented should fucking hate women, should keep telling story after story about how he tricked some girl with not enough self-esteem into a place of lesser self-esteem. Why don't you at least get creative about it?
Because you cannot. You haven't got the mind. You are, frankly, quite stupid and dark and a misery to contemplate. If you've had all the sex you claim to have had—though I don't think all the shitting and vomiting you describe actually describes any kind of actual sex—why not be philosophical about it? Why not be Henry Miller?
Why not? Because you, Tucker Max, are a thug, an unimaginative punk, and, at heart, a tiny little vapor.
As for your bet. Nick will deal with that.
As for me, before you bother googling me: I have written two novels and they did not sell much at all. If you think that's the measure of me as writer, James Frey has sold roughly five or six times more copies than you, not including his bad novel.
In the end. We hate you because you suck. Hating you is the least cynical thing any Gawker writer ever did.
Now die.

Baywatch alum (and Surreal Life "star") Traci Bingham showed off her assets and unique sense of style in Vegas over the weekend. Though most people look at these photos and immediately think, "hot tranny mess," I can see beyond that. Clearly, Traci was just trying to do her best impression of Sulley from Monsters Inc, so we shouldn't be so hard on her. Let's just hope she didn't scare any little kids.
On a scale of 1-10, how bad is this outfit?

Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard is the latest face (and hot body!) of PETA, and she's taking it all off for their newest ad campaign against fur. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and U.S. team captain will unveil the ad tomorrow, just two days before the start of the 2008 Beijing games.
Beard says, "To see animals...slaughtered to be worn as fashion is awful to me, so I'm definitely against wearing fur. I'd much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body."
Beard won two silver medals and one gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, another gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will be her fourth.
And she's not the only famous face to go naked for the animal rights organization - last December, Eva Mendes bared all for PETA and looked mighty fine doing it!
And CLICK HERE to check out PETA's interview with Amanda, but be warned that there are some shots with graphic violence against animals, so this is not for the faint of heart!

Mary Murphy and Nigel Lithgow are working those kids to death on the summer hit television show ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’ Two of the final four dancers were taken to the hospital and treated for dehydration after collapsing during rehearsal. The names of the dancers were withheld for some reason, but my guess is that it was Courtney Galiano and Joshua Allen. Just a hunch.
Leading up to the finale, the dancers have been putting in 10 to 12 hour rehearsals a day, because “they want it so bad,” says Mary Murphy, adding “so, they keep pushing themselves and pushing themselves and not letting anybody know that, ‘Hey, I’m running on empty,’ and then it catches up on them and then they collapse.”
I have visions of Mary, Nigel and Mia standing in the corner of the rehearsal room with whips and chains and offering them the occasional bottle of water and bite of a power bar. Check out the live finale this Thursday on FOX at 8:00pm.
Or should the question be, how much younger is she?
61-year-old James Woods - who's an Oscar-nominee, MIT dropout, LAPD volunteer police officer AND member of Mensa - has quite an impressive resume. Even more impressive is his relationship with a blonde hottie like Ashley Madison.
