The Daily Newds

• Iceland is looking for people over 20 with no cosmetic surgery for an Alternative Beauty Contest. So far there are only 5 entrants.
• Montel Williams scolded Michelle Manhart on-air for posing nude in Playboy while she was still in the Air Force.
• It used to be the "casting couch" that catapulted actresses to fame, now it might be just a matter of posting nude photos on the Internet.
• A Florida man and his 17 year-old nephew each downed a six-pack of beer and decided to go for a nude midnight jog, but were caught by police.

  Once they were cornered, the deputy asked why they were jogging in the nude. Both agreed that “it was more comfortable.”

• A nude painting in Antigua brings out the nudist spirit in a writer.

  With her locks hanging just over her pillow and her body in a near foetal position, this model is relaxed and is unwinding after what may have been a hectic day. What better way to free your thoughts and body than to remove all restraints, including clothes, and just bask in the quiet and solitude of the moment.

• The Dove soap advertising campaign that features nude mature women is coming under attack from "pro-family" groups.

  The use of female nudity to sell products under any banner is exploitative of women's sexuality, opponents say, pointing out that Dove is "focusing on outward beauty and using nudity to do so. Their message basically says: 'Use our product and even if your body isn't perfect, our lotion will make you beautiful.'" It would be far more effective--and would express genuine respect for women--to pursue the campaign's goals presenting fully clothed women.

• The Boston Globe has an article on the nude Maine bowlers.

  "There's something about nudity that grabs everyone's attention," said Chip Carson , the owner of the Old Town Bowling Center. "I don't understand why [ nudists] do it, and I would get nothing out of it, but nude people have to have a place to go also."
