For some reason, as yet fully unknown to me, Ryan Seacrest decided to whip out his video camera and record footage of Emmy Award winning host of Survivor, Jeff Probst, nekkid from the waist up while backstage at the Nokia Theater for the 60th Annual Emmy Awards in LA last night — and then share it with the InterWeb … so natch, we have to take a look. Here are a few screencaps of the shirtless Probst with another shirtless and overly hairy man named Vic:

Is it really wrong that I don’t really mind the sight of Jeff Probst sans shirt? Am I alone? Click HERE to watch this video footage in full … if you dare … then lemme know what you think.

Jennifer Lopez has made her way to Athens, Greece this past weekend to kick off her new world tour, playing in front of 11,000 people at the Olympic Stadium. But before she took to the stage to put on her show, she took some time to pose for some pretty pictures at the Erechtheion temple near the Acropolis in a new photoshoot, behold:

Wearing a dreamy flowing strapless blue dress, Lopez gazed intensely into the camera of Greek-born photographer Spyros Poros. Lopez, with her hair curly, can be seen holding herself up between two huge pillars of the ancient Erechtheion, on the north side of the Acropolis. While it is still unclear what the photos will be used for, there were rumours that they would appear in a weekly magazine. One fan wrote on the singer’s fan site: “She looks absolutely gorgeous. The whole town is at her feet. She is very friendly and waves to the cameras.” Lopez was in Greece for a single concert on Saturday, wearing three outfits for her performance, including a white Charleston-like dress, a black body-hugging outfit and a gold-coloured short dress with black knee-high boots.

While I wasn’t too fond of the fortune-telling outfit that J. Lo wore in Portofino, Italy last week I gotta say that she does look pretty spectacular in these photos. I don’t think that the O face is all that necessary but I do love her dress and I’m pretty certain that these pics will turn out very hawt. Me likey.

At the risk that it might be too early in the day for nekkid penis, I feel incumbent to share a completely NSFW image (courtesy of Made In Brazil) from the Tom Ford Spring ad campaign that was shot by photographer Terry Richardson and features the fully frontally nude Brazilian model Alex Schultz:

Much like the Abercrombie & Fitch philosophy that one can sell more clothing by featuring hot, nekkid models in your ad campaigns, Tom Ford seems pretty confident that a lack of clothing on the right person might inspire shoppers to buy his designs. Eh, who am I to judge? After the jump, check out the TOTALLY NSFW uncensored image above …

Could it be that Miley Cyrus has finally outgrown her professional relationship with Disney and is ready to put say Peace the Spork Out to the Hannah Montana role that made her a star? Well, according to a new report, both Miley and her daddums Billy Ray Cyrus are doing everything they can to get out of finishing the eps for this last season of the show as quickly as they can (ie. before the actual end of the season) much to Disney’s chagrin. Interestingly enough, there is another new report that claims that Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell is lookin’ to sign Miley up to play a young Carrie Bradshaw in a proposed “young adult” prequel series to SaTC … so basically, we’ve got good news/bad news sitch on our hands:

TMZ has learned Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus want off “Hannah Montana,” and their conduct has triggered a war on the set. Our spies on the set tell us Miley has bragged that she will get fired, making it clear she wants to focus on singing and not the show. For his part, Billy Ray has also made it clear that there is more money in singing than a Disney cable show. As a result, the father-daughter team has been showing up to the set ridiculously late, stalling production and infuriating cast and crew … Sources tell us Billy Ray has told people on the set that he and Miley will do 12 more episodes and then they are out. Disney was so pissed they called his agent, railing that Billy Ray and Miley were ingrates. Disney insisted that Billy Ray and Miley not only finish the 24 episode season — but Disney was adding six more episodes.

And now for the bad news:

Candace Bushnell, the creator of the smash TV series and movie Sex And The City, has suggested that Miley Cyrus play the role of a young Carrie Bradshaw in her planned prequel series. Currently working on a pair of novels focusing on ‘young’ Carrie’s time in high school, Bushnell has revealed that the teenage Carrie, “…did not follow the crowd – she led it. It was there that she began observing and commenting on the social scene.” She added that Cyrus could be perfect playing the teenage Carrie, who has been played as an adult by Sarah Jessica Parker in the TV series and on the big screen. Miley herself appears to be very keen on the role, telling TV Guide earlier in the year, “I’d love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex And The City.”

While I wouldn’t mind very much if the Hannah Montana character died a quick and painful death, I am aghast that this Sex and the City prequel bullshizz is even being discussed. I’m not sure how valid this report is necessarily but I personally think a sanitized, young adult version of the show would be SO STUPID. WTF are they thinking? The whole idea is bad enough but casting Miley Cyrus, are they seriously out of their freakin’ minds? I really hope this wild talk is a total fabrication … I’m not sure my frail little heart could survive what I think would be the total decimation of SaTC. Please gods, let this never happen … please. What do y’all think … does any of this sound like a good idea to any of y’all?

Last night the 60th Annual Emmy Awards were given out for outstanding achievement in television at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles, CA. I was not able to watch the show myself, since I am currently in Reykjavik, Icelancd on holiday, but the reviews are in and I understand the show itself was pretty unwatchable. Despite the shortcomings of this year’s Emmy Awards show, the whole reason for the shindig in the first place is to hand out awards to some very deserving folks … oh, and for the fashions on the red carpet. Here are a few pics of some of the folks who strutted their stuff down the red carpet last night:

Christina Applegate looked stunning on the red carpet, I’m so glad to see her looking so well. Heidi Klum and Julie Benz also looked pretty amazing … I threw in David Boreanaz so that there could be a little bit of Angel/Darla love going on here. I liked Brooke Shields’s pink dress and I thought Kathy Griffin picked out a nice wig to wear for the event. Here are a few pics of some of the winners in the Emmy Awards press room backstage … I also threw in some non-winners as well, cuz they were brave enough to pose for pics without having actually won anything last night:

The sleek ’60s drama “Mad Men” made Emmy history Sunday as the first basic-cable show to win a top series award, while the sitcom “30 Rock” and its stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin also emerged as big winners. “We’re all so very grateful to have jobs in this turkey-burger economy,” Fey said after accepting the best comedy series trophy for her satire about a late-night TV show. “This is the greatest job I’ve ever had in my life,” Baldwin said of his role an a network executive. He paid tribute to Fey, the NBC show’s star and creator, as “the Elaine May of her generation.” “I thank my parents for somehow raising me to have confidence that is disproportionate with my looks and abilities. Well done. That is what all parents should do,” said Fey, who also won for best actress and writing in a comedy series. Emmy voters rewarded quality, not ratings: Many of the winners draw relatively small audiences. AMC’s “Mad Men,” which looks at America through the prism of Madison Avenue, is lucky to get 2 million viewers. Glenn Close of FX’s “Damages” and Bryan Cranston of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” captured drama acting trophies. Close, honored for her portrayal of a ruthless attorney, complimented her fellow nominees, including Holly Hunter and Sally Field. “We’re proving that complicated, powerful, mature women are sexy in high entertainment and can carry a show,” she said. “I call us the sisterhood of the TV drama divas.” Cranston won the trophy for his role of a desperate man who turns to making drugs. Dianne Wiest of “In Treatment” and Zeljko Ivanek of “Damages” won supporting acting honors for the drama series. Jean Smart of ABC’s “Samantha Who?” was honored as best supporting actress in a comedy series, with Jeremy Piven her actor counterpart for “Entourage.” Piven took aim at the five reality hosts who helped open the ceremony in what could charitably called a rambling way, saying, “What if I just kept talking for 12 minutes — what would happen? That was the opening.” The crowd at the 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards laughed heartily, not a good sign for the hosts, who included Ryan Seacreast of “American Idol.” … Jeff Probst of “Survivor,” one of the ceremony’s masters of ceremonies, claimed the first award for best reality series host. “We feel honored to be part of this family. Thank you for letting reality in,” he said … HBO’s “John Adams,” about the founding father, was named best miniseries and won other awards including acting trophies for Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney and Tom Wilkinson. The historical drama set a record for most awards, 13, including five trophies Sunday and eight previously announced. The record of 11 was held by HBO’s “Angels in America,” the TV academy said. HBO was the most-honored network, with 26 awards earned Sunday and at the creative arts ceremony held earlier this month. ABC was second with 12 awards, followed by CBS, NBC and PBS with 10 each; AMC with eight, Showtime with five and Fox with four.

Felicitations and congratulations go out to all of this year’s Emmy Award winners … but I am struggling to find nice things to say about last night’s award show. Since I didn’t get to see it for myself, I have to rely on what others are reporting … and none of it is good. After the jump, check out some of the scathing yet funny bad reviews of last night’s 60th Annual Emmy Awards — believe me, some of them are deffo worth checking out …

In other Spears-related news, I feel that I have to nominate new teenage dad Casey Aldridge as Moron of the Year. According to a new report from TMZ, Casey thought it would be a brilliant idea to snap a bunch of private, family photos — including one of his teenage bride babymama Jamie Lynn Spears exposing her left breast as she nursed their new born baby daughter Maddie Briann — and then take his camera to his friendly neighborhood Wal-Mart so that he could make a few copies of said photos. It never occurred to him that processing photos of his very famous family at a place like Wal-Mart might not be the best idea, especially since those Wal-Mart employees make minimum wage and the huge pay-out for private Spears family photos can be very high. It now turns out, according to the report, that federal and state authorities have gotten involved to help track down the photo peddlers because the exposed breast photo of JL is considered “child pornography” since she is still underage, even tho she’s already a mother. Um. Yeah:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ federal and local authorities are on the hunt for someone peddling 12 pics of Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn, daughter Maddie and baby daddy Casey Aldridge. One of the pictures shows Jamie Lynn breast feeding Maddie — Jamie Lynn’s left breast is exposed. The pics were taken on Casey’s digital camera. We’re told he took the camera card to his local Wal-Mart in Louisiana for copies. Law enforcement believes someone at the Wal-Mart may have made extra copies, then tried selling them. Because Jamie Lynn is a minor, selling the pics — or buying them — could constitute a violation of federal laws prohibiting pornography. Peddling pictures of a minor’s breast — even if not taken for sexual purposes — could land the seller and the buyer in federal prison if they are marketed across state lines for the purpose of being lurid. Also, anyone purchasing the pics could be prosecuted for the crime of receiving stolen property. Other pics in the set include Britney holding the baby and one of Jamie Lynn, Britney, Brian (Brit’s bro), Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears around Jamie Lynn’s hospital bed. There are also pics of Maddie by herself, and there’s a picture of Jamie Lynn in a negligee holding the baby. Authorities are trying to find the man who is attempting to sell the photos. In addition, we’re told Britney’s lawyers are thinking about going after Wal-Mart for the alleged security breach.

I mean … really? It never occurred to Casey that developing photos like this at Wal-Mart might be a bad idea? While it is grossly unfair that celebrities have to take extra precautions with things like this, I think it makes a wee bit more sense to mebbe invest in a $100 photo printer to print out personal pics like this? Mebbe? I mean, yes I understand that the Wal-Mart person is ultimately responsible for this heinous crime but I simply cannot believe that Casey would be this dumb. Actually, considering the situation he got him and his teenage lover in by practicing unsafe sex, I can believe he is this dumb.

For the record, the photo above of JL and MB is not one of the pilfered pics but is a photo snapped by OK! magazine after MB’s birth. You can tell it’s not one of Casey’s photos cuz JL’s breasts are fully covered.

It looks like the world is going to have to wait with bated breath a wee bit longer for the official world premiere of Britney Spears’s new single Womanizer which was scheduled to debut on radio today. According to a press release by Brit Brit’s parent record company, the radio premiere of the single has been pushed back to September 29, one week from today:

According to BreathHeavy.com, the single has been delayed so that it can be further mixed and edited. The site also claims that the single premiere may actually be “the middle of the week” but the press release clearly states a premiere date of September 29. While bummed, I prefer that the track be made as perfect as possible before it gets released. I remember fondly how well Gimme More was received last year when it was released to radio, I’d love to see Womanizer enjoy the same popularity. I’m not sure if she can top It’s Britney, Bitch! but I’m sure she’s gonna give it her best try.
