Filed under: Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, Oscar Watch, Polls  The decision for any actor or actress to appear naked, whether on screen, on stage, or in photographs, can sometimes help, sometimes hurt, and sometimes not make any difference at all to the performer's career. In the case of Lindsay Lohan, her freckle-baring photos in New York Magazine may reinforce the public's perception of her as a "bad girl." We saw a very different reaction when "good guy" Daniel Radcliffe, better known as Harry Potter, stripped down for a production of the stage play Equus. While some decried the example he was setting, young women reportedly attended in droves for the opportunity to admire his (acting) form. From a career standpoint, he widened his future possibilities far beyond the family market. On the big screen, Viggo Mortensen's deadly naked spa duel in Eastern Promises caught everyone's eye. Playing a "bad boy" with a good heart, Mortensen's willingness to display every inch of his physique only expanded his appeal. His performance earned him a nomination for an Academy Award as Best Actor. Portraying both "bad boys" and "good guys," none of the other Best Actor candidates appeared in the buff in their nominated films, though all have in the past. As we did yesterday with the women, today we offer a selection of five Academy Award-nominated men. All have appeared naked on the big screen, either this year or in the past, with their most revealing appearance noted. Whose career benefited the most from their willingness to bare all?

These are stills from Christina Aguilera's appearance on Ellen yesterday. For those of you who couldn't sit through the video, here's the highlights. And by highlights I mean her boobs. I don't know why I felt the need to spell that out. It's pretty much a given on this site. I guess sometimes I want to make sure we're all on the same page. And by the same page I mean her boobs.

Some really nice working coming out of this Buenos Aires based Animation and VFX house. One of my personal favorites that they worked on would be last years spot they did for Ford / JTW Argentina, entitled ‘Wind’. Check their reel out and see what you think!

Nick Lachey and his girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo make their living by simply showing up at places. They get paid to visit tropical resorts that need publicity or do photo shoots at department stores. Nick just has to stand around for a couple hours and take pictures. Easy stuff, right? Apparently not for Nick Lachey. Page Six reports:
According to a source at JC Penney's "American Living" launch at Skylight on Hudson Street, "Nick was complaining the whole time he was there. He started whining, 'When can I get out of here?' and refusing to take photos. That's what he was paid to show up for."
Jesus. Nick Lachey's life really is sheer torture. I mean, the dude gets handed bags full of dough but he has to smile for pictures. I had no idea such inhumane practices go on in this country. But, on top of that, he has to go home and bang Vanessa Minnillo. I don't know how he does it day after day. Gandhi had it easier than this. Actually, I'm serious about that. Gandhi was never forced to have a conversation with Jessica Simpson. If he did, he'd probably have thrown himself underneath an elephant.

 Miranda Kerr is happy to talk philosophy, but stays quiet as a monk when it comes to her personal life.
“I practice Japanese Buddhism,” the model said Wednesday night. “At the heart of it all, it’s about practicing peace.”
Modern art? Sure, she’ll give her two cents on that too. The Victoria Secret model headed to N.Y.C.’s Milk Gallery Wednesday for the launch of their exhibition of work by Shinjo Ito. “He’s good,” she said at the event. “Really inspiring.”
She’ll even chat about dieting: “I just did a three-day juice fast. It’s really detoxifying and cleansing for the body …. You don’t get that hungry.”
But mention boyfriend Orlando Bloom, and suddenly she’s tongue-tied.
When asked if the two yoga devotees ever workout together, she responded with, “Ugh. Ha, ha, ha!” before finally managing, “Well, I’m sure he does yoga.”
The undercover lovers were recently outed, when they were spotted on a PDA-filled date at New York’s Max Brenner restaurant. “They were just being playful and kissing and hugging,” recounted an onlooker.
“He’s a sweetheart and that’s all I’m gonna say,” Kerr said, blushing. “Sweetheart.”
Did the two spend Valentine’s Day together? “I can’t tell you,” she replied with a laugh. “I work for Victoria’s Secret – but that’s my secret.

Jennifer Lopez is concerned that a plot may be afoot to kidnap her newborn twins. Her husband Marc Anthony made sure security is tight at North Shore University Hospital, according to Life & Style:
The hospital reportedly stepped up its security drills, which involve locking down the hospital in case a baby is kidnapped or otherwise vanishes. “They practiced the alerts twice a week in early February,” says a staffer. “That definitely had to do with J.Lo.”
“Babies have been kidnapped before,” a friend notes. “Jennifer had obvious concerns about security.”
Who would want to steal J-Lo's offspring? Either the government for some crazy X-Files shit. Or Ben Affleck. Yeah, that's right, I said it: Ben motherfucking Affleck. He might look all innocent but that guy has baby-stealer written all over him. I saw Daredevil. He's capable of some seriously messed up stuff. I'm blowing this case wide open!
UPDATE: Jennifer Garner just kicked down my cubicle and continually karate chopped me in the groin. I retract my comments about Ben Affleck. Also - no, I can't say it. Don't make me! *nad chop* Okay! Daredevil should've won an Oscar! Are you happy? Oh, God, I feel so dirty. I'll never get over this. I - Ooh! Who brought donuts?

Filed under: Celebrities and Controversy, From the Editor's Desk 
So last night I found out my identity was stolen. And not just by some kid who saw a number -- I'm talking a calculated group of thieves snatched up everything on me and used it to go to town. It's times like these where I wish I could kick ass like Jason Bourne; I wish I could hunt down these awful awful people one by one and force them to watch The Hottie or the Nottie for 17 days straight, non-stop. If you've never had your ID stolen, it sort of feels like being raped by the devil. I feel violated, I feel alone, and I feel like I need a hug. Actually, I feel like a naked Lindsay Lohan -- all doped up, looking for help, but not really sure where to begin or how to pick up the broken pieces.
And you think to yourself -- why would someone do this? Why are there people in the world who feed off screwing up other people's lives. And these people probably have families and friends -- some of whom may or may not know what's going on behind closed doors. Heck, some of them may even read Cinematical when they're not selling your social security number on the internet. And if you are reading this, Mr. or Mrs. Identity Thief, I want you to know that you haven't crushed my dreams of posing naked for Vanity Fair or New York Magazine at some point down the line. That will happen! Just not today. Because I've been on the phone with the bank wishing you a long and painful death.
But hey, we're live-blogging the Oscars this Sunday night! So check out how we're preparing for the big night right ... over ... here. Permalink | Email this | Comments

Marrianna and Claudia are victims. Lulu doubts Logan is the TMK.
So we saw a new theme pop up in yesterday's episode of General Hospital. Both Marianna and Claudia are abused women. Marianna was illegally brought into this country by her jerk of an ex-boyfriend who's been knocking her around ever since. Claudia, it would seem from her memory flashes, was molested by her psycho-pop. The realization sort…
