A new development has come out in the Charlie-Sheen-hotel-rampage-saga (here’s the Taiwanese animated version, if you need catching up); apparently, the poor woman Sheen locked in the hotel bathroom was not a hooker, but porn star Capri Anderson.
Anderson also goes by Alexis Capri and Christina Walsh, and while investigating her involvement with Sheen’s sordid meltdown, reporters totally outed her porn star lifestyle to her unknowing father. “With young kids today, nothing surprises you,” Walsh was reported as saying after the Daily New asked him about his daughter’s occupation. Wow, that’s harsh.
While the Two and a Half Men star Sheen professes to be “fine” and says the story was “totally overblown,” Anderson’s friends told TMZ that she was “extremely afraid” of Sheen before she called for help. We’re hoping that Anderson gets the chance for some therapeutic capitalization after this scary chapter of her life—something to the tune of spanking a Charlie Sheen lookalike in a Two and a Half Men porno spoof. That would be fun to watch.

Gearing up for your Halloween festivities? Well, why not grab your Jack-o-Lantern and make a stop in Freemont, Wa., where you can run around wearing your gourd—and nothing else.
Freemont hosts its fourth-annual Naked Pumpkin Run Sunday the weekend of Halloween, daring participants to jog naked down the streets using nothing but the seasonal carved fruit to cover their unmentionables. (But as the event flyer would suggest, most will be using the pumpkins to cover their identities, leaving the rest up to anything but the imagination.)
It’s not the only naked event thrown in the Washington town—they also do a naked bike ride during the Fremont Solstice Parade, but it sounds like a chilly nudist excursion for the end of October. At least they have their legal assets covered—“Without a pumpkin,” the flyer protests, “It would just be streaking.”

An Arkansas school board member has not been asked to resign over strident anti-gay remarks made on his personal Facebook page. After gay rights news source The Advocate found the horrible comments and brought them to light, activists around the state have called for the board member’s resignation—but he remains in his powerful position.
At least the district said they didn’t like the comments: “The Midland School District, Board of Directors, administration, faculty, and staff do not support or condone the comments Mr. Clint McCance posted on his personal social networking page. Mr. McCance was not acting as an agent of the school board, but as a private citizen … The district is very diligent in pursuing and addressing bullying of any variety on our campuses.” Not so diligent, actually, if McCance can still influence the daily lives of thousands of young people.

A new Bollywood film is breaking new sex ground in the traditionally-minded Indian industry; Love Sex aur Dhokha (Love Sex and Betrayal) casts a hidden-camera eye on Hindi sex topics never before discussed on the silver screen, and even goes so far as to depict the blurred visuals of a naked woman in the trailer.
In the past, and in many modern movies produced by one of the largest film industries in the world, direct depictions of two people kissing have been taboo, and many employ metaphors like flowers brushing or birds nuzzling to convey the romance between the characters. Not so in Director Dibakar Banerjee’s new film—the movie uses security cameras and spy cams (think Blair Witch Project) to capture his character’s intimate moments.
“What my camera is doing is that it's recording a story that is changing in front of the camera,” says Banerjee. “Earlier, sex used to be behind closed doors but now that is changing.”
Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the censorship scale, a group of Canadian librarians made a fetish movie, and the movie is apparently so good at depicting the BDSM lifestyle that the Fetisch film Festival in Germany has chosen them as the headliners. It seems the quiet ones are always the kinkier ones.
