Vanessa Williams
Congrats Vanessa Williams! You made it on the “I’m a broke photographer and I’m selling out my model’s pics” golden list! You will be on the golden list along with superstars Marilyn Monroe and Madonna!
Vanessa took some nude pictures when she was 20, and they surfaced when she won the Miss America title. She then lost her crown.
These old images have been put on eBay for a starting bid of $20,000. But it’s not the actual nude prints being sold this time, the ‘negatives’ are!
Who is selling the negatives might you ask?
Penthouse Magazine publisher Bob Guccione bought the original photos from Vanessa’s old photographer Tom Chiapel. It is unclear if it is Bob or Tom who is now selling the negatives on eBay. We’re not sure who owns the negatives. It IS clear that somebody is broke and selling out Vanessa! Shame on him.
If you don’t know the history with Vanessa William’s nude photoshoot from her early 20’s, here’s the back story:
“The first African-American woman ever given the title, Williams was dethroned ten months into her reign when Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione paid photographer Tom Chiapel for the rights to the naked photographs.

Photos of Michael Jackson practicing at the Staples center 2 days before he passed away has surfaced on the web. Michael looks absolutely fabulous and healthy, which is why is sudden death is not only devastating, but surreal. The photographer of these photos,Kevin Mazur, issued this statement:
Read more“I am devastated by the sudden loss of ‘The King of Pop,’ who I have photographed numerous times since the Victory Tour in the ’80s. When he hit the stage at rehearsal, I was thrilled that the magical Michael Jackson was BACK!!! I felt the same adrenaline rush as when I photographed him the first time moonwalking. I was so looking forward to shooting the O2 Arena performances with the amazing production that Kenny Ortega and AEG put together with Michael for his fans.”
Chris Brown and his shiner
Chris Brown will be facing another judge in an assault case but this time it’s a grown man he is accused of assaulting.
The attack took place at a LA area gym where Chris Brown and his entourage were playing a harmless game of basketball, harmless that is until a photog snapped a picture of Brown.
The LA Times is reporting, pap, Robert Rosen snapped a photo of Brown doing his best Kobe imitation and that’s when Brown’s bodyguards began to verbally abuse him, Rosen then attempted to flee the scene to avoid drama, however, tripped and fell, allowing Brown’s henchmen to catch up with him where they then proceeded to rough him up. Rosen claims he was, “severely injured and disabled, both internally and externally, and suffered extreme emotional distress.” The incident occurred only a few weeks after Brown was accused of beating, then girlfriend, Rihanna.
Browns lawyer, Mark Geragos, is stating, “This is a specious and frivolous lawsuit by one of the paparazzi seeking publicity and a payday, he’s done this before and lost.” And in fact that is true, Rosen brought similar claims against 007 actor, Pierce Brosnan in 2007. Rosen claimed Brosnan inflicted “severe physical and emotional pain and injuries.” Rosen lost that case reported TMZ.
Read moreFamous Photographer Bert Stern is in the news again for his shoot “The Last Sitting” he did with Marilyn Monroe just before her death.
Marilyn Monroe
This time he is not trying to auction off Marilyn’s photos. Nor is he trying to sell the photos she DID NOT or EVER want the public to see.
He only just tried to sue three photographers for $1.7 million last year after they told him they had found seven film transparencies of the shoot.
Now, these guys are finally settling the dispute.
Associated Press reports that photographers Donald Penny and Michael Weiss said colleague Robert Bryan had found the film in curbside garbage in midtown Manhattan in the 1970s and kept it in a shoe box as memorabilia for the last 35 years.
(Yeah! Like you can just find a shoebox of Marilyn’s photos sitting by the trash!??)
Penny and Weiss are actually not asking for money for the Marilyn photos.
Their lawyer, Jamie Brickell, said Stern acknowledges in the settlement that his clients did nothing wrong. Brickell said Penny, Weiss and Bryan never asked Stern for any money; he said they only discussed returning the transparencies in exchange for a set of prints that they could keep.
AND THE VERDICT IS…
Brickell and Stern’s lawyer, Stephen Weingrad, said Stern, Penny and Weiss will develop nine sets of photos from the transparencies and sell them. He said the issue of how the proceeds are to be distributed is confidential.
So Bert is going to use Marilyn to pay rent again! Here we go again! Whoring out Marilyn is like a daily chore! Not into it.
