Tiger Topless For Vanity Fair

Rachael Ray’s Racy Photos are in the news again. The popular cook and host of a cooking TV show had posed for some sexy pictures for FHN magazine back in 2003. Back then, the pictures caused some controversy and some of her fans were a bit surprised to see the cook star scantily clad like a sexy model. Even her mother was said to have been upset about the photos.
The pictures have now made a comeback as a news item as they appeared in FHM’s recent 2009 issue, listing the top 100 sexiest women. Rachael Ray was listed as number 100. Rachael Ray, who is already a successful and popular TV show host, would definitely benefit from the publicity the listing is giving her as the photos are now in demand. There are some speculations that her publicist may have leaked the pictures as a publicity stunt.
Rachael who is now 41, said at an interview in March 2009 that she although she was scared she would not hesitate to do it all again, not minding the controversy the photo shoot caused back then.
She also said at the interview, “I think I was 35 at the time,” “I thought, ‘If I’m gutsy enough to do this, this is a good thing for everybody. “
As it turns out Rachael Ray is not new to controversy, she had once been criticized by social conservatives for putting on a scarf that was said to resemble a pro-Islamic apparel.
Daytime chef Rachael Ray has made it onto what some may consider to be an unlikely list, for her at least.
People are now talking about how she made FHM’s Top 100 Hottest Women List for 2009.
They also aren’t backing away from the discussion of some of the rather revealing photos Ray posed for in the magazine.
The photos were actually taken back in 2003 without much notice. As Rachael Ray has gained popularity such career moves tend to get noticed more. This is just a fact of being heavily in the spotlight versus not being in it.
Ray was thirty five when she posed for the cooking themed, sexy photos.
She considers the whole thing to be very flattering given her age.
“I think I was 35 at the time,” Ray said in an interview. “I thought, ‘If I’m gutsy enough to do this, this is a good thing for everybody. This is the everywoman, here she is. ”
“And I did it, and it was the most scared I’ve ever been, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d do it again tomorrow.”
She posed for the magazine without her mother’s approval so that only makes the whole thing more controversial. Most of the people on the Hot 100 List are much younger than Ray is today as well. She is proud of the accomplishment.
Carrie Prejean ends her case with suing the Miss California USA pageant with nothing coming in her hands.
Both parities ended their suits and agreed to settle their differences amongst each other.
Prejean sued the Pageant in August for discrimination on her religious beliefs and slander. The pageant asked Carrie to stop mentioning God and her controversial beliefs on gay marriage. The officials for the pageant filed the countersuit requesting to be paid $5,200 back that they gave her for her breast implants prior of the Miss USA competition.
During the face off in the settlement negotiations the Miss California USA lawyers brought out their weapon of her little X-Rated film starring her. As the film started rolling Prejean reacted with disgust and denied it was even her. As the camera went to her face she knew she was in trouble and it took her less than 15 seconds to discuss with her lawyer of dropping the $1 million demand.
The Pageant organizer, K2 Productions spokesman, Keith Lewis told the Daily News in a recent interview “We’re so glad to be back in the business of beauty and out of the litigious system that is Carrie Prejean. It’s wonderful to put this behind us.”
Both parties are not receiving any of their money that they were requesting in the suit.
An Explicit End to a Long Year: Carrie Prejean Update
From winning Miss California and coming in second at the Miss America pageant to being stripped of her title and walking away without any money or dignity, it has been a long year for Carrie Prejean.
The beauty queen’s problems started during the interview portion of the Miss America pageant. Prejean admitted that she believed marriage should be between a man and a woman, leading to speculation that her answer cost her the crown. Prejean, however, rallied around her new cause, becoming a speaker on the topic.
Though this turn may have been good for her personally, the Miss California directors were not thrilled about her lack of focus on her title duties. Couple this with reports of racy photos from modeling shots, and Prejean eventually lost her crown.
Lawsuits inevitably followed but there was one more negative turn for Prejean yet to endure: a sex tape. Though not released publicly, the tape is said to be a solo act and especially explicit. Its discovery took the gusto out of Prejean’s lawsuit, and she settled without receiving any compensation. Though some have still stood by Prejean, there is no doubt that this roller coaster of a year has not been her best.

Carrie Prejean (pray-ZHAHN), former Miss California USA, filed suit yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court against former Miss USA Shanna Moakler and Keith Lewis, a state director for the Miss California USA Pageant. The lawsuit accuses Lewis and Moakler of defamation, religious discrimination, slander, and libel.
Prejean was fired from her post as Miss California USA on June 10th of this year, supposedly for missing several scheduled appearances to promote the organization. Carrie’s representatives, however, claim that the Miss California USA organization “fabricated a fraudulent list of some 50 public appearances allegedly missed by Prejean which they released to the media in order to justify her termination as Miss California USA.”
Prejean’s attorney intends to prove that she was actually fired because of her controversial answer to a question posed to her regarding gay marriage during the Miss USA competition, where she stated that she believed marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Prejean later defended her statements during an interview with James Dobson, remarking that “…I felt as though Satan was trying to tempt me by asking this question. And then God was in my head and in my heart saying, ‘Do not compromise this. You need to stand up for me and you need to share with all these people…you need to witness to them and you need to show that you’re not willing to compromise that for this title of Miss USA.’”
Lewis and Moakler’s representatives said that they do not have any public comments on the lawsuit.

Vanessa Hudgens who stars in the new movie Bandslam, which opened this past week, has recentley denied rumors that she is engaged to High School Musical co-star Zac Effron. The two have been romantically linked for four years now, since working together on the first High School Musical movie. British tabloids, however, have reported that Hudgens hinted about a possible wedding date. The two have been photographed together a great deal recently, prompting much speculation. The couple arrived in Vancouver August 9th after having just finished attending the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.
Hudgens has been in the midst of a scandal recently as a result of an internet leak last week. Apparently nude pictures of the former Disney star were posted online. At Sunday’s teen choice awards Dane Cook told a suprisingly off- color joke about the incident. Fox, however, cut that from the airing of the awards show Monday night. This is not the actresses first nude photo scandal. Both times have been the result of a hacker breaking into her Blackberry where the photos were stored. She seems to have negated her statements made during the last scandal when she said she had learned a valuable lesson.
Vanessa spoke recently about the movie Bandslam where she plays a rocker. She said it felt awkward because she dosen’t do rock. Hudgens felt that the awkwardness helped make the performance more believable, however, because the character is supposed to be awkward herself. Hudgens has been quoted saying that she enjoyed the chance to play a different type of character and do something completely different.
