A significant part of Senegalese rapper Akon's career was built on his "ex convict" uber-tough image. Akon tried to make himself pass for a hard-core criminal, who spent three years in jail for allegedly running a car theft ring and chop shop. However, The Smoking Gun just uncovered that the rapper's "criminal past" was mostly fabricated, and that Akon himself only served a few months in a county jail, accused of gun possession. The situation is all the more embarrassing for the rapper as a lot of his most successful songs (including his breakthrough single "Locked Up") were written in such a way as to boast his tough life as a ha...

The NY Post, which broke the exclusive story, reveals that the 15-minute film footage reportedly depicting Marilyn performing oral sex on an unknown man has just been sold to the highest bidder, an unidentified New York businessman. The long-buried sex flick is said to be an illicit copy of the original tape, which has been in the hands of the FBI ever since the mid 1960s.When the FBI first obtained the incriminating piece of evidence, its director, J. Edgar H... [read more >>] George Clooney really seems to have found his match in hot girlfriend Sarah Larson. The world's most eligible bachelor, as he has been dubbed, has been dating Larson for practically a lifetime judging by his own standards, that is) and it would seem he's quite passionate and possessive about the former Las Vegas cocktail waitress. In a recent interview, he confesses to the New York Post's Page Six that he tried to track down a mystery caller who had left a message in his machine, urging him to dump Larson. Clooney reportedly asked his police officer/driver to launch a probe and see if he could come up with the man's iden... [read more >>] The French first lady sure has had her fair share of scandal and controversy - and it's barely been two months since she married the twice-divorced French president Nicolas Sarkozy. However, the former Italian model - now turned successful singer - seems to have absolutely no intention of denying her past - which, it has emerged, also includes a fair share of glamor modeling. Consequently, when news came that a nude photo of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy will be auctioned off on April 10th in New York City, the only official comment from the French camp was that the photo concerned Mrs. Sarkozy's private life, and was therefore not a topic... [read more >>] You just gotta love the French. I mean, can you think of any other country in the world where the First Lady would be allowed to pose naked for a glossy magazine spread and not be lynched for it the following day? Kidding about the "lynched" part - but still, is this for real? That in fact was a rhetorical question as well, as it seems that in France, the roles and responsibilities of the First Lady are not as restrictive as they are in the States for instance, and between posh receptions at plush, upscale hotels entertaining influential foreign politicians, the president's wife still finds the time to strip for the April issue of GQ m... [read more >>] Anyone else finds this funny? I for one find it hilarious that Victoria Beckham - OK, let me put a bit of emphasis on it - perma-tanned Victoria Beckham, who usually manages to shine with a not-so-healthy deep-orange glow - has become the face of a skin cancer awareness campaign. I mean, don't get me wrong - I'm all for raising awareness and any celebrity that decides to lend a hand is OK in my books - but really, Victoria Beckham would not have been my first choice when it comes to skin protection, and it's useless to ask why. Just have a look at the photo attached to this post, and you'll understand. The Posh-promoting... [read more >>] Why? I mean, really, why? Why does Paris Hilton believe that when all hope fades (which means, whenever she's not getting enough media attention as she believes she deserves) the wise thing to do is to burn a naked image of herself into our unsuspecting retinas - again? Why do we have to live in a world in which some people actually think Paris is sexy? Whoever told Paris that the world is dying to see her naked is either deluded or hates the heiress' guts - or maybe it's just someone who gets their kicks out of watching people suffer severe burns to the eyes after watching the latest add featuring the blond strip naked. The... [read more >>] Kim K. has turned into a pretty regular presence in our "Hot" section, mainly because she seems to be a smart, hard-working girl who understands that all good things in this world come at a price and that it's actually very healthy to hold onto things that have been proved to pay off nicely. Like her collaboration with Playboy, I'd add, which has been extremely lucrative both in financial terms and in what regards Kimbo's public image. Not that I want to be mean or anything, but after the whole sex tape saga, the danger of fading into the background was more than obvious, and my congrats go out to Kim for knowing how to deal ... [read more >>] The latest ad for Coco Mademoiselle from Chanel is here and, oh, boy, are we happy or are we happy about it? If you ask me, I should say that we're pretty happy about it (see the humor in this? - ninja!), especially since British actress Keira Knightley is pretty much naked underneath that black bowler hat and white shirt, carelessly (or not so much) thrown to hide her lady parts... Let's not get too excited over this and start from the beginning: this is the second Chanel ad featuring a naked celebrity in less than a week, the first one being the one with US rocker (and all-time favorite tabloid character) Courtney Love (second... [read more >>] This is most likely a commercial stunt meant to bring Enrique and his latest album into the spotlight. Well, it surely works, I'm certainly paying attention, not so much to the album, as rather to the part where he flirts with men, since the singer himself is the one who went to the press about it.To quote the Latino star himself, he likes to "serenade the men just as much as women" while performing on stage. Lord, have mercy! I could just picture Enrique looking deep into a man's eyes (you know that sad puppy look), and singing "Maybe I just wanna touch you / Feel you warm inside again / Maybe I just wanna hurt you / The sweetest...
