While You Were Sleeping: Paul Newman’s Gay Affair

Free mp3’s from the likes of She & Him, Robyn Hitchcock, and Shawn Mullins can be yours if you donate so much as one dollar to save Paste Magazine.

We really feel bad for this woman who cried in her mugshot photo, even though she put up an ad on an elevator wall offering sex for money and gave out her real phone number.

Tom Hanks is upset his Angels and Demons sex scene was cut for the PG-13 rating.

John Mayer sends text messages that say “I want to tuck you in” when he really means a word that starts with “f” instead of “t,” according to the ever-reliable New York Post.

Hey Brits– the best breasts are in Yorkshire.

Gerard Butler has been charged with beating up a pap.

Shanna Moakler asked Carrie Prejean to “stop lying.”

And a new book claims Paul Newman and James Dean slept together. That seems believable– if we were forced at gunpoint to have sex with another man, it would have to be one of these two in their prime.

5 Women Who Look Better With Age

This the women's version of a list posted earlier this week, 5 Men Who Look Better With Age. As noted in that one, we aimed to choose women who had not just aged well, but who have managed to look better than their younger selves.

Here they are, from youngest to oldest.

Aimee Mann is almost not of this earth. It's hard to believe she's 48, as she looks so much prettier than in her mid-80s pop-singer days in 'Til Tuesday.

Frances McDormand She was certainly beautiful in youth, though somewhat generic. At 51, age has given her expressive face far more character, and the choice roles have followed.

Meryl Streep Some might argue that 60-year-old Meryl has simply aged well, just an older version of how she looked in her early roles like 1977's The Deer Hunter. She was lovely as a young woman, but she's outstanding as a mature woman. She now radiates that certain Meryl Streep something, and so, she has improved with age.

Blythe Danner Age becomes this 66-year-old actress and activist. She's a grandmother who looks both older and youthful at once.

Vanessa Redgrave At 72, she must be taking some pulls from Paul Newman's bottle of magical looks-retention serum. Sure, she was smoking in 1966's Blowup, but who wouldn't be, all skinny and topless in the 60s with the heavy eye makeup? In older age, she's rocking a less intense, more softened look, and she wears it well.

Well done, ladies.

Scanner Highs and Lows: We're This Close to Losing it to Sarah Palin

Emily Farris — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 21:29:00 GMT

In a month we'll either get to stop hearing about Sarah Palin forever or we'll be stuck hearing about her for four years. It kind-of feels like that time when you decide you're ready to lose your virginity and just need to find someone to lose it to. You know it's either going to be really great or really terrible, but you just need it to happen already... Right? Anyone?

Highs:

We may have found a man to keep us warm this winter.

And if it doesn't work out with that guy, we might still have a chance with Michael Cera.

If we get really desperate, we got hit on by this guy (even though they guy thought we were Sarah Palin).

We finally got our hands on the Sarah Palin swimsuit competition video.

We were on the local news, and this time there were no microwave dinners in sight.

We heard that Anne Hathaway liked anal. Then that she didn't. Then you told us you like Anal Anne better.

Lows:

We were forced to think of Hugh Hefner as a classy man (damn you, Joe "Boobies" Francis!).

We got in trouble for showing peen and had to take it down. Sorry.

We let ourselves be momentarily amused by Rachael Ray.

We had to listen to Sarah Palin talk for a really long time.

And we saw her nude. Sort of.

This guy gave us nightmares.

We lost a sweet, wonderful, beautiful man.

Goodbye Paul Newman, You Sweet, Wonderful Man

Nicole Pasulka — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:42:00 GMT

We are in mourning. It's all we can do to bring you the latest Sarah Palin nudie news since Paul Newman died of cancer last Friday.

Paul Newman wasn't just salsa and lemonade--although Newman's salsa and lemonade are totally delicious and his charities did incredible good. No, what we can't get out of our heads are the movies...Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, Hud, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid...Newman was the best looking, best acting leading man we've ever seen.

For those of us who need a little quiet time, here's Newman singing "Plastic Jesus" in Cool Hand Luke.

Sloppy Seconds: Paul Newman's Diagnosis

The Bible Belt generally frowns on gays... unless there's a beauty pageant involved.

Sting capped off his career with the Police (at least this time) by shaving his beard, live at Madison Square Garden.

Do you think this is a real surveillance video?

How To Beat The Claw Game

There's debate all over the web about that one.

Did you hear about the guy who answered a phone call from the cops during a high speed pursuit and said "Dude, I can't talk, I'm being chased by the police"? Well, maybe he'll be answering his cell with a similar message: "Dude, I can't talk, I'm in fucking jail."

Speaking of the police, the coppers in Hartford, Connecticut sold a man a former squad car loaded with cocaine.

Hell yeah: Anne Hathaway railed against plastic surgery, saying it harms the ability of actors to look their parts. (Then again, there's no way Hathaway will ever need plastic surgery, at least not for another 124 years.)

Paul Newman won't be riding with the Sundance Kid anymore, at least according to New York City doctors. The ancient actor has been given "weeks to live," which we hope turns into at least months, if not years.

This excellent and attention-grabbing ad for Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign was released over the weekend. But was it approved by the campaign? It does not have an FEC tag at the end, nor does it say anything about the message being endorsed by the Senator's committee. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the media as the day unfolds.

In other celebrity political news, Hollywood actresses are spending more time in Texas than any sane person ever should...

Perhaps the actresses Melanie Griffith and Eva Longoria Parker will be more on message than [Jack Nicholson, says the New York Times.] They’re set to appear at a town hall event with Mrs. Clinton in Austin, Texas, on Monday night, the eve of the primary. The campaign will show the event live at its Web site, and 700 people are expected to be in the live audience.

All right, folks, it's time for a recap of celebrity endorsements:

HILLARY CLINTON:

Marla Maples, Jenna Jameson, Melanie Griffith, Eva Longoria, Paul Newman, Danny Devito, and Jerry Springer.

BARACK OBAMA:

Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, Jamie Foxx, Robert De Niro, George Clooney, John Legend, Jessica Alba, and the rest of the cast of the will.i.am music videos.

We know we're missing some of the biggies. Who else?

In the meantime, check out this new video (are we done with Obama videos yet?) from will.i.am, with more A/B-list celebs superimposing themselves over Barack Obama's dignity:
