Michaele Salahi Playboy Rumors? — Well Yeah...

Look, the Salahis' entire lives feed off rumors and scandals, and with the way Michaele Salahi looks in that bikini, why not? And she's 44 years-old to boot! But check CNN, "Salahi in Playboy? Just 'Another Rumor'." (Via Daily Caller and Memeorandum.) The story is sourced to TMZ, "White House Crasher Goes Naked for Playboy."

Michaele Salahi is about to crash another party -- the one in your pants -- because TMZ has learned the "Real Housewives of D.C." star is taking it all off for Playboy magazine ... And not just artsy "top half" naked -- we're talking full-frontal, birthday suit naked.

The Salahis are out for fame and profit. And with a figure like that, who's to begrudge Michaele a few more minutes in the spotlight.

Heidi Montag: 'I Feel Very Plastic..."

It's a fascinating interview. Heidi Montag went nearly to the limits of human endurance to improve her appearance. (She sounds quite vulnerable in listening to her vocals.) And she literally can't move her face. "I feel very plastic," she says, after being asked. I'm moved by how honest she is about it, so perhaps an attempt a sincerity can humanize this quest for perfection that's so common among us and in our culture. Be sure to listen to the end of the video. Montag's thought through the philosophy of aging pretty thoroughly. I've always accepted age and changing, but isn't extreme exercise and fitness just a corollary to how she feels about beauty and longevity?
