Oktober 2006 ag Soeben erscheint der heißeste Schirmer/Mosel- Herbsttitel: Playboy. The Celebrities Mit einem Vorwort von Hugh Hefner und einem Nachwort von Gary Cole 176 Seiten, 153 teils farbige Tafeln ISBN 3-8296-0267-7 Ladenpreis: EUR 39,80, sFr 69,-- Seit Marilyn Monroe 1953 ihre berühmte Akt-Session für den Playboy mit den Worten beschrieb: „I had nothing on except the radio“, feiert der Playboy die Sinnlichkeit von weiblichen Weltstars – und hat einige selbst zu Stars gemacht. In den fünfzig Jahren, seit Playboy das legendäre Marilyn-Bild veröffentlichte, zierten Bo Derek, Cindy Crawford, Kim Basinger, Dolly Parton, Madonna und mehrere hundert anderer Stars die Seiten des Magazins. Der Playboy und die Stars führen wahrscheinlich die beständigste Ehe in Hollywood. Die Faszination der Sexgöttin beschreibt keiner treffender als Charles Baudelaire: „Zur Beschämung philosophischer Wonnen“ sei die Frau nicht nur „Weibchen des Mannes, sondern Gottheit, Gestirn, Gaukelspiel aller Reize der Natur, die sich in einem einzigen Wesen verdichten, Quelle entnervendster Lüste und dauerhaftester Genüsse.“ Playboy. The Celebrities präsentiert, in voller Pracht, über hundertfünfzig überirdische Sexgöttinnen: Fixsterne am Firmament der Lüste, ausgestattet mit allen Reizen der Natur, in atemberaubenden Aufnahmen – eine Galerie großer Namen und starker Bilder. Um diese Ehrfurcht heischende Kollektion zusammenzustellen, hat Gary Cole, seit dreißig Jahren Photochef des Playboy , die Archive nach den sensationellsten Bildern durchforstet. Supermodels wie Naomi Campbell und Rachel Hunter, Schauspielerinnen wie Jayne Mansfield und Linda Evans, Playmates wie Jenny McCarthy und Anna Nicole Smith und viele andere zeigen, was sie haben – vor der Kamera nicht minder prominenter Photographen wie Herb Ritts, Stephen Wayda und David LaChapelle.

  • Representing Anna Nicole [Continued]
    by Fellow Kent L. Richland "Sometimes a person has to go a very long distance out of his way to come back a short distance correctly." .-*& Edward Albee, The Zoo Story It is the dream of every appellate lawyer to argue before the United States Supreme Court. The dream also usually features the post-argument advocate pocketing his hands in a long overcoat as he walks down the front steps of the Court, his frosty breath preceding him as he approaches a bank of microphones to address the clamoring media. I lived that dream. But as perfect as its realization was, getting there involved some of the most difficult-and some of the most enlightening - moments of my professional life.

    I’m a Sad Clown ANNA NICOLE SMITH (Nov. 28, 1967–Feb. 8, 2007) HER FAME: Anna Nicole Smith made her fame as the 1993 Playboy Playmate of the Year, then went on to become some- thing of a one-woman carnival sideshow for the next decade and a half, a lumi- nary of the golden age of public confessional and reality television. Her highly publicized marriage to dying octogenarian billionaire J. Howard Marshall and the subsequent U.S. Supreme Court battle over his money, as well as her fluctuating weight, was public fodder, and led to her appear in her own reality show. HER PERSON: Born Vickie Lynn Hogan in Houston, Texas, Anna Nicole’s father abandoned the family shortly after her birth. She was raised by various family members, and after failing ninth grade, she dropped out of school. She was soon working as a waitress at Jim’s Krispy Fried Chicken in Texas. At seventeen she married the sixteen-year-old cook, Billy Wayne Smith. Her son Daniel Wayne Smith was born the next year; the couple was separated shortly after. To support herself and Daniel, Anna Nicole worked at Wal-Mart, Red Lobster, and as an exotic dancer. It was while dancing at a strip club that she met oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall, 63 years her senior. After auditioning for Playboy, she was chosen by Hugh Hefner to appear on the cover of the March 1992 issue, under the name Vickie Smith. Many, including Anna Nicole, attributed her immediate popularity to her resemblance to Marilyn Monroe.

  • Hugh Hefner,Princess Diana – Legend Of
    Legend of the month – Stephen Hawking Professor Stephen William Hawking was born on 8th January 1942 (exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. His parents’ house was in north London but during the second world war Oxford was considered a safer place to have babies. When he was eight his family moved to St. Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. At the age of eleven, Stephen went to St. Albans School and then on to University College, Oxford (1952); his father’s old college. Stephen wanted to study mathematics although his father would have preferred medicine. Mathematics was not available at University College, so he pursued physics instead. After three years and not very much work, he was awarded a first class honours degree in natural science. In October 1962, Stephen arrived at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge to do research in cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time. His supervisor was Dennis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge. After gaining his PhD (1965) with his thesis titled ‘Properties of Expanding Universes‘, he became, first, a research fellow (1965) then Fellow for Distinction in Science (1969) at Gonville & Caius college. In 1966 he won the Adams Prize for his essay ‘Singularities and the Geometry of Space-time’. Stephen moved to the Institute of Astronomy (1968), later moving back to DAMTP (1973), employed as a research assistant, and published his first academic book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with George Ellis.
