Look how sexy we all are!

Oops! Thats the REAL Nic Cage next to the wax dummy. Our mistake. Read the story here.

Few joys on God’s earth compare to the delight of seeing a woman naked for the first third any time. When a lady chooses to reveal herself to a man, she gives him a sensual gift that says, “I am doing this for the money.”

How terribly cynical, then, to learn that Lindsay Lohan‘s Playboy spread, which hit stand recently, was intended not to sate the internet’s obsession with redheads, but to help cover the legal costs of what I can’t be bothered to look up, but confidently assume is something to do with drunk driving. Or maybe just to make a million bucks. Again: I don’t have time to check every little central topic of these articles.

The fact is, rather than lift up the flapping sails of a publication that has long since ceased to try, Ms. Lohan could have enlivened several magazines with a co-operative purchase of her posturing skills, and most of them wouldn’t have even required nudity, which is always more fun when it’s a gratuity and a surprise and in church. Here are some of those magazines.

Obviously Miss Lohan’s nuditude has drawn big sales figures, but in Playboy, that’s easy to come by. For maximum effect, you need to drop a sneak attack sex bomb where it will make the biggest explosion. You also want to do more family-friendly fare to keep those Disney dollars rolling in. The fact is, there are two million cat magazines in print today, and every one of them has the title of a low-class skin mag. So this is a good place to transition from one audience to another.

The catskin rug really brings the poesy to this piece.

But what about clearing up your image? Well, that’s where CGI comes in. Whereas you or I would be off the road for several years, the courts are counting on Herbie the Lovebug to help her navigate L.A.’s sober streets. The law believes Lohan is still more responsible than Disney, who spent $1m de-jiggling her chest for Herbie: Fully Loaded, which–because– what? No way. That’s the most evil use of a million bucks imaginable. Not even Stalin did that.

Now it’s time to make this member of the privileged elite relatable, and that means a secret shame. Since her substance abuse is no secret at all, and usually only surfaces when she’s been endangering fellow drivers, we’re going to have to dig deep. Like…really, really deep. All the way to the kidneys.

If you have no sympathy for someone with wet pants, one of you must be Hitler.

Sex sells, so you don’t want to abandon it. With this stockpile of sympathy, fuzzy kitties, and what’s earnestly referred to as a sport by what seriously calls itself “Real America,” Lohan is re-established. Now it’s time to dive back into the deep end of the public pool called sex.  No more Marilyn pastiches and “Hottest Girls of Rehab” galleries for you, young lady! From now on you’re going to carve out a classy, brassy, sassy style of seduction popular among the gentry. Playboy is the oldest and most commercially respectable jizz-rag on the market, save for one 18th century publication. If you’re going to nudify yourself for the intellectual types, better to go whole hog and join The Hellfire Club.

Yeaaahh! We worked poesy into this article twice! Pay up, Dundics!

At the inevitable completion of the cycle lies the photo that has already cost taxpayers a hefty sum in police work, prosecution, and penitential punishment. You already paid for this, California, you might as well own a copy.

Nobody seems very concerned that that poor woman has a serious problem with addiction.

Brendan McGinley only drinks to deal with the stress of driving.

Today beloved television and film actor, Rob Lowe, tweeted to a nation of sports fans hungry for any semblance of news that Peyton Manning would choose today to announce his retirement from the game he has so dominated for the better part of 14 years.

While Mr. Lowe’s sources have yet to be revealed and his statement yet to be confirmed, we here at National Lampoon were nonetheless impressed by the swift acquisition by Mr. Lowe of his modern day Twitter Nostradamus status. We asked Mr. Lowe to probe his sources – or his possible psychic powers–  for a few other predictions on matters our readers might find important. Here’s a few of the shocking revelations he shared with us.

The Winner of 2012′s season of American Idol will be a 19-year old girl named Rileigh something or other.

A giant fireball will crash into earth on December 29, 2012 somewhere around the Orlando area– one week after the predicted Mayan apocalypse. The fireball will have no effect on the Earth’s atmosphere and be turned into a Disney Theme Park.

“Parks and Rec” will be renewed for “infinity seasons” by NBC.

Popular 70′s and 80′s game show “Card Sharks” will make a return to TV in primetime, hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro of “Fresh Prince” and “Silver Spoons” fame.

Kim Jong-un will be invited to the NBA All-Star weekend and win the slam dunk contest.

Mitt Romney will win the GOP Nomination for the 2012 Presidential race, but will fail to carry the state of Mississippi during the general election.

Viola Davis will receive the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Help.

All iPhones will self-destruct on 12/12/12.

The adult film industry will uproot itself to the unlikely city of Las Vegas, Nevada, when Los Angeles forces all performers to wear condoms.

The use of parsnips in cooking will be outlawed and massive quantities of the crop will be burned on an international scale.

The Cubs will capture their first World Series title since 1908 after replacing their entire lineup with their AAA Iowa farm club in the second half of the 2012 season.

Model and actress Olivia Munn is the latest celebrity to strip down for PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.

**Scroll down for EXPLICIT photos**

Unfortunately, the fully nude image was deemed too risque, so only a partial topless photo of Munn will appear on the PETA billboard on Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“When you think about even that little tiny trim of fur on your gloves or on your collar, that is still coming from an animal that had to endure so much pain just for you,” the 31-year-old actress said in a press release announcing the campaign. “There’s nothing good about pretending like you don’t know.”

The ad aims to draw attention to PETA’s ongoing campaign campaign against fur which, the groupexplains on their website, leads to inhumane treatment and suffering of animals.

I’d rather watch Olivia Munn go naked then watch the road and text at the same time.

We at National Lampoon were able to get our hands on one of the most talked about reality tv pilots making the rounds at networks. The premise of ‘Tween House’ is a familiar one: 12 girls, living together in a mansion while competing for a cash prize and the all important chance at fame.

The girls, who vary in age from 6 to 11, are competing for $1,500 cash and an exclusive deal as the face of the start up clothing line, 6X-TREEM by Ali Lohan. The brand targets petite fashionistas aged 6-18. as the clothing is exclusively size 6X, a children’s clothing size designed to fit the average (but not fat ‘average’) 6-7 year old.  Lohan, 17, also serves as the show host.
Fans of reality shows will be familiar with some of the contestants- ’Toddlers and Tiaras’ star Paisley,  ’Dance Moms’ Mackenzie, and Gosselin twins Maddie and Cara, of ‘Kate Plus 8′. The rest of the girls are accomplished pageant title holders and regional theater veterans anxious to hit it big or, for 6 year old Dawn,  ’make Daddy come home’. The pilot has  plenty of drama, tears and high stakes: 7 year old Tiphannie must choose between staying in the house or visiting her dying Nana. A 9 year old contestant is booted from the competition after her mother is caught smuggling thermoses of what is discovered to be a mixture of 5 Hour Energy supplement, Diet Mountain Dew and protein powder. 6 year old Plum collapses from exhaustion after a grueling ‘boot camp’ style workout in the Tustin, California heat.

The girls form cliques and pull classic little girl pranks (a ponytail is cut off, a dress is set on fire) but get really down to business when it’s time to compete.

The show follows the basic competition formula: The prize challenge has the girls, adorned in 6X-TREEM’s signature nude catsuit, take candid self portrait photos. The winner gets 30 minutes of playtime with a local shelter dog. For the elimination challenge, the girls audition to be in a direct response commercial for a make your own candy necklace kit.

The panel of judges features both Ali and her ‘momager’ Dina Lohan, a visibly uncomfortable Taylor Hicks and controversial teen bride Courtney Stodden, who tells 8 year old Tampa to ‘flaunt the booty’  and screams ‘lick the candy!’ at the girls.

Parents and legal guardians watch and critique the competitions and judges deliberations from a room in the house, with the exception of Gosselin who insisted on screening privately from a monitor in the garage.

The winner gets to appear in the commercial, while the loser child is banished from the Tween House and told to ‘Call Your Mommy and Go!’
The show has already come under fire from several parenting groups calling it ‘a disgrace’  ’dangerous and irresponsible’ and even questioning if it borders on child endangerment. Lohan and her production company have no comment on the outrage, as they are currently in negotiations with several interested networks.

The part @peteholmez didn’t want you to see…

@peteholmez & @nottjmiller Let Us Into Their Private Lives:

John C. Reilly isn’t just one of the funniest men on the planet – he’s also a man of many talents. Listen to him tackle this Ray Price country classic… apparently Jack White produced it, which is pretty awesome…

He should do the commentary for every movie ever.

It’s true — Sly Stallone and The Klitchko Brothers are teaming up for Rocky: The Musical… as long as Sly doesn’t try to play the part himself this has some serious potential.
