A Utah State Senate bill that would have lumped the sale of violent video games to minors in with pornography died in the legislature this week, says the ever-vigilant GamePolitics. Incredibly, the bill actually passed the House of Representatives by a 56-8 vote. (Not so incredibly, I now know eight people who I need to take out for a drink.) But the state Senate never moved the bill to a floor vote, and I hope that it's for reasons other than they forgot. So writes Chris Koehler of Wired's GamesLife. It's probably not so easy to find your Jessica Alba-covered Playboy in Utah, as well. Posted by "Richie Tenenbaum."

It's what you don't see the stars wearing at the Oscars that really provides the va-va-voom on the red carpet. If a star wants to turn heads, she has to start with what no one sees -- the perfect undergarment to build up the bosom or minimize the backside. Lingerie has joined the gowns, jewelry and handbags lent or given to actresses by firms eager for the publicity associated with Sunday's Oscars and other awards shows. But there are potential pitfalls, whether an ill-fitting garment, or ill-mannered observer. Designer Isaac Mizrahi, an awards show fashion commentator for cable television, was so intrigued by Scarlett Johansson's bra at the Golden Globes that he groped the actress's breast while interviewing her. Most stars' lingerie choices remain a mystery, but Keira Knightley, Hilary Swank and Naomi Watts planned to wear a simple G-string -- smaller than a thong -- underneath their gowns on Oscar night, the Miami-based lingerie company Cosabella said. Some figure challenges demand more elaborate solutions. Finding the perfect lingerie for body-revealing gowns "becomes difficult when the girl doesn't have a bust," said Parisian lingerie designer Chantal Thomass, who uses foam linings to pump up the decolletage. [...] One woman with a 26-inch (66-cm) waist wanted a corset to slim her to 22 inches. "She nearly passed out at the event," marketing head Jess Morris said. Another with a small bust wore a padded bra that did too good a job. "Nobody looked at her face the whole night," she said. One of Jon Stewart's lines last night was to the effect of the terrible poverty of some of the female stars, who couldn't even afford enough cloth to cover their breasts. Except he actually made it funny. Posted by "Richie Tenenbaum."

Playboy won't pull its March issue over actress Jessica Alba's claim that she was made an unwitting cover girl to fool readers into thinking she is nude inside, the magazine said on Friday. "Playboy has done nothing wrong, so there is no reason to pull our issue off of newsstands," spokeswoman Lauren Melone said.
Lawyers for Alba, 24, have threatened to sue Playboy unless the issue was pulled off the stands and demanded that the "Fantastic Four" star be compensated for damage to her image. [...] Playboy said Alba was placed on the cover after being chosen "sexiest star of the year" by its readers. She was included inside the magazine in an article on the top 25 sexiest celebrities as chosen in an online poll. We should all be grateful to Playboy for defending their rights, as it would be otherwise impossible to find a picture of Jessical Alba in a bikini on the intarweb. Posted by "Richie Tenenbaum."
