Mirren's Controversial Photo Shoot
|
 Throughout
her career, Academy Award winning actress Helen Mirren has never shied away
from nudity. Best known for her roles in The Queen and Calendar Girls, which
also featured a nude Kathy Bates, Mirren has shared her opinion about nudity in
many interviews. Now starring in Love Ranch, directed by husband Taylor
Hackford, Mirren posed nude in a bathtub last month for New York Magazine to
promote the film. The
magazine feature created controversy from some who said she was "too old" but mostly
that the photo was "indecent and vulgar." Yet Mirren contends that that "sex
and nudity are really two different things. ...Sometimes being clothed is more
sexy than being nude. I think people tend to get the two mixed up," she said.

Have Facebook's Policies Gone Too Far?
|
 After
angering mothers everywhere by banning photos of breastfeeding and prohibiting a
cancer survivor's photos of her mastectomy scars to raise breast cancer
awareness citing "inappropriate content," Facebook has now deleted pictures of
naked dolls. Victoria Buckley, who owns a high-end jewelry store in Australia, was told by
Facebook that posting photographs of the dolls on her fan page breached the
site's terms of service. The dolls in question are designed by Marina Bychkova
of Enchanted Doll, based in Canada.
Made of porcelain, the dolls sell from $5,000 to $45,000, which is the price one
recently sold for on eBay. There can be a two- to three-year wait for those who
want to buy one. Buckley has
appealed to Facebook but has not yet received a response. She deleted the
images of the dolls on her Facebook fan page but has posted the uncensored
versions in a new group called "Save Ophelia-exquisite doll censored by Facebook"
to gauge response to the new group before deciding whether to put the dolls
back on her original page. Buckley had
also posted the photographs on Flickr, where they were also removed. Click here
to read more, watch a video and vote whether or not you think the dolls
constitute "inappropriate content." |
