Julie Andrews And Carol Burnett: “I Know What – Let’s Be Kissing!”

9:30AM Jess McGuire | Obviously we didn’t Google as hard as we needed to earlier this morning when searching for online evidence of the whole Julie Andrews pashing Carol Burnett story. Well, actually – we did Google hard enough, we just didn’t click on the mystery link on this page which handily popped up the following nugget of lesbiotic tongue-comedy gold. In January, 1965, Mike Nichols, Julie, and Carol had been summoned to Washington to perform at President Johnson’s inauguration. It was in the middle of a snowstorm, so Julie arrived by train, skipped a party at Perle Mesta’s, had an early dinner, and returned to her hotel, the International Inn, to wait for Nichols. When he did arrive, Carol invited him to their room on a different floor. Julie, in her inevitable slacks (ED: IS ‘INEVITABLE SLACKS’ SOME SORT OF CODE FOR LESBIAN?), and Carol in Joe Hamilton’s bathrobe, went out to the elevator to wait.

You can read the whole thing here. But the bit that leapt from the page and beat us about the head screaming “DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? DID YOU? HAS EVERYBODY HEARD THIS RUMOUR BUT YOU?” was the following. Just before she left the Broadway cast of Camelot, Andrews filmed a TV special with the American actress and comedienne Carol Burnett, her closest friend. It was titled Julie And Carol At Carnegie Hall. Two-and-a-half weeks later, Andrews discovered that she was pregnant. When her daughter, Emma Walton, was born on November 27, 1962, Carol Burnett became her godmother. But was she also a lover? More »

Paper Mag’s Top Ten Worst Nude Scenes Are Disturbingly Delicious

10:02AM Molly Friedman | Normally the opportunity to see celebs naked on film is worthy of spending whatever it takes to buy the DVD and add it to your dirty collection. Heather Graham in Boogie Nights comes to mind, as does Halle Berry in Monster’s Ball. But when folks like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Kathy Bates are flashing their naughty bits in crystal clear HD, we tend to shut our eyes fast the way we do whenever a particularly gruesome scene from the Saw franchise comes on. Nevertheless, Paper Magazine compiled a totally excellent Top Ten list of the worst nude scenes they’ve ever seen and, while the images aren’t pretty, they’re still perfect for a good cry/laugh for a Friday afternoon. Some NSFW stills from his list we managed to wrangle after the jump, if you dare… More »
