Gawker: Nude

The Nude First Lady (Of France)

Hamilton Nolan — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:10:07 EDT

Carla Bruni, who recently married noted ladies' man Nikolas Sarkozy and became the First Lady of France, used to be a model. A naked model. A nude—and relatively tasteful—portrait of Bruni by the photographer Michel Comte is up for sale at Christie's in April. The press duly reported on the upcoming sale, but there's been an admirable sense of maturity about it across the board. By contrast, imagine the prospect of a nude Hillary Clinton portrait surfacing. Or not. The Bruni photo is expected to sell for about $4,000, but you can see it for free, after the jump. NSFW, although it is art.

Dear Internet: If you really wanted to see photos of screenwriter Diablo Cody's nipples, you could've just read her old City Pages blog, where all of them came from. Honestly, people.

The Limericks Of Lindsay Lohan

Hamilton Nolan — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:32:51 EST

As we pointed out yesterday, Lindsay Lohan's nude body [pic via New York] is only interesting insofar as it generates lofty intellectual analysis. What underlying effect might the photo shoot have on Lindsay, her career, and American culture as a whole? Radar rounded up reaction to these questions from several esteemed media observers (including Ronn Torossian), but we decided to turn to the world's foremost experts in these matters: the Gawker commenters. After the jump, five incisive observations from two commenters that summarize—in verse, no less!— this sordid moment in our history.

Lilo's freckles bespeckle her hiney
And likely as well her vaginey.
Her breasts are audacious,
Because, though capacious,
The nipples by contrast are tiny!

@MisterHippity:

There was a young lady named Lindsay
Whose photos were naked and skinsy
Though she looked very fine
In the boobs and behind
Her expression was vapid and ginsy.

The sad truth about our lovely Lindz:
Her career may be gone with the winds.
But she'll see better days —
She's a hit with the gays,
With a camp value high as Paul Lynde's.

On LiLo's nude-pic escapade
Let me share an assessment I made:
The freckles on her tits
Outnumber the twits
Who saw the last movie she made

Lilo's nudity here, to be fair,
Is just part of her drug-rehab care.
First her coke pants she doffed.
Next the coke blouse came off.
Last, she took off her coke underwear!
