Celebs Need to Stop Taking Pictures of Their Naughty Bits

By Jo Piazza Posted Mar 7th 2011 10:00PM

This isn't the first time we have issued such a warning, and we know it probably won't be the last. But here we go again, putting this out there as a public service announcement in the hopes that some lost famous soul will heed our wise words.

Famous people: don't take X-rated pictures of yourselves and send them to other people...any other people. That means don't send them to your girlfriend (because that's not gonna last), your wife (also tenuous) and definitely not to some chick who hasn't even agreed to go on a date with you (Yup, Brett Favre, still looking at you). Don't even send them to your doctor if you have a funny rash or any members of your family for any reason at all (wrong, for entirely different reasons).

The most recent nudie pic offender is none other than singer Chris Brown, who really has enough on his plate these days. Over the weekend, a full-frontal shot Brown obviously took of himself in a mirror and sent into the universe, emerged online. The photos could have been part of a trade of sorts with ex-girlfriend Rihanna -- what looked like her half of the set leaked back in 2009.

Brown's fourth studio album is out in a few weeks, so some skeptics are wondering whether these pictures were leaked on purpose to gin up publicity. We understand that worked for Paris and Kim, but these days, naughty pics get you one of the three L's: a laugh, a lawsuit or a lashing from your management team -- rarely positive attention.

We hate to invoke a double standard, but it is true that for male celebrities the naked photo is much more of a punchline than for the ladies. Maybe it's the inherent narcissism in the men's pics. While women who take photos of themselves in compromising positions seem to be doing it because they're sadly eager to please, the men simply seem to be showing off. That is rarely sexy.

For example, the "leaked" nude photos of teen mom Amber Portwood, were more tragic than anything else. Yet Brown's just seem silly and detract from his cred as a serious artist, which is how you want people to view you before you release an album.

At the end of the day, we urge celebrities, male and female, to keep it in their pants ... it being that digital camera, cell phone or flip cam. Save the nudity for your one-on-one (in person) time. If we can help just one celebrity avoid an unfortunate crotch shot, we feel like we've done our good deed for the day.

Well put. Their sense of reality is so skewed that they think that is normal.

He is beautiful. Let him show off what most guys are jealous of, and many women will no doubt be drooling to have. Everyone knows sex sells, so more power to him.

Conflicted Soul-Bro look: Gots the Raiders cap, the bling hangin', and the dual earrings. But... also gots the basic black wrap & white-shirt-and-tie which tells me he's "collegiate". What's gonna be, Chris? Beat her up or go meet her parents? You know, girl-beater, your lips are still way too fat to make you good looking.

CHRIS BROWN IS TALENTED BUT THIS IS VERY DISGUSTING AND THEY ALL SEEM TO DO IT LIKE THEY DONT HAVE ANY SHAME IN THEIR SELF OR RESPECT FOR THEMSELVES . RIHANNA JUST POSED NUDE FOR A MAGAZINE WHICH IS EVEN WORSE AND SHE LOVES DOING STUFF LIKE THAT SUPPOSINGLY ITS FOR A CHARITY BUT YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO BE SO OBSCENE TO DO SOMETHING GOOD,THATS WHY IF I SAW THESE CELEBRITIES IN THE STREET I WOULD HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THEM .ONLY DISGUST.

If you shout, no one listens!

GILI, if you take a basic typing course, they will teach you how that shift key-thingy works.

If I was built like that I would want everyone to see it also. Considering he is a woman beating thug, he just doesn't have anything else going for him.

By JEB BUCKINGHAM

Thank you, Pop Eater for NOT showing any pictures of Chris Brown or his little pool cue.

By leon

Celebs are so full of themselves now a days. I wish they would have some decent actors and actresses that can get off their high horses. Bring back programs like Laugh-In, Carol Burnett, Dean Martin and even Ed Sullivan shows. The Hollywood people need to get back to the basics like those programs had.

As long as somebody wants to look at these naked pictures, celebrities are going to think they have something worth looking at.

I really enjoyed looking at him :)

By Ted

Well, if you go to any local prison, I'm sure there will plenty of guys like him to look at ;)

The stars are not stupid (they know these pics will be on the internet when they take them). I don't think there is anything wrong with them taking the pictures or making videos. Here is the reason. They do nude scenes in movies to make money for other people. Why can't they do there own pic and vids to make money for them instead of the studios. Remember The Kardashians would not be famous and making the money they are making if not for the supposedly leaked video. People murder fo money. This way of making money isn't killoing or hurting anybody. Let's face it, America loves it that is why they do it.

Chris didn't have blond hair when he and Rihanna
were together....this pic is pretty recent.

By Bellcord

Not to bum ya out but a gay guy I work with says the photo is from a Chicago CraigsList 'Men seeking Men' personal ad and is not Chris Brown..
