As the controversy surrounding this week’s GQ photos of the Glee cast continues to swirl, Playgirl has an offer for a couple actors on the show:
Wanna make like your co-stars?
In the scandalous pictorial, Dianna Agron and Lea Michele look very nice and oh so naughty, prompting this publication to reportedly ask Chord Overstreet and Mark Salling to pose similarly in a future issue.
“We would be very willing to pay for them both – up to 100 thousand,” a Playgirl rep told E! News. “And it wouldn’t have to be fully X-rated, either.”
We hate to break it to Levi Johnston, but this is allegedly

Last Thursday, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar stormed off the set of The View after Bill O’Reilly said Muslims attacked us on 9/11 and added that he was against the building of a mosque around the site of the World Trade Center.
He then went on his Fox News program and defended his point of view.

Behar, meanwhile, said: “We talk about standing up to bigotry,

Finally, someone is taking issue with Pamela Anderson’s body.
The actres flew to Montreal this week to publicize her latest PETA ad, only to be turned away by the city. Canadian officials denied a permit for the unveling because they claim the bikini-based billboard is somehow sexist.
Said Montreal film commissioner Daniel Bissonnette, whose office laid down the law:
“It is not so much controversial, as it goes against all principles public organizations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women.”
Anyone care to make sense of that statement? Do any men

2 years ago
Miley Cyrus might be bad at singing, but she’s good at listening.
And the young star is tired of all the controversy surrounding her new image. She told The Associated Press today:
“I’m not trying to be slutty. I’m not trying to be, like, go to the club and get a bunch of guys. What I’m trying to do is make a point with my record and look consistent, in the way my record sounds and the way I dress.”
Okay… and that point would be what, exactly? In “Can’t Be Tamed,” Miley sings that she’s “hot like that” and “every guy everywhere just gives me mad attention.”
As critical as THG is of Cyrus,

Did ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Make a Mistake?
2 years ago
Nicole Scherzinger, along with her partner Derek Hough, might have won season 10’s Dancing With the Stars contest, but is she going to keep the object of her efforts, her mirror ball trophy? No. Instead, she’s pawning off the gaudy thing to her mother, whom she says was the reason for doing DWTS in the first place. But that’s not the controversy. Some people — including fellow contestants on DWTS Season 10 — are now suggesting that while Nicole IS incredibly talented, she shouldn’t have won let alone been on the show. Why not? Because she’s actually a dancer on the Pussycat Dolls, the

3 years ago
Miss USA Rima Fakih instantly became the center of controversy after she won the crown last weekend, thanks to some of her stripper pole champion photos.
That wasn’t enough to get her title stripped, however, and her reign has begun. Much to the dismay of some critics upset about her Muslim/Arab background.
While the contestant herself has spoken little about this, stressing that her family observes both Muslim and Christian holidays, others have been very vocal.
Daniel Pipes, who publishes a right-leaning blog on Middle Eastern affairs, pointed to a supposed “surprising frequency of
