You’re IT, girl

You’re IT, girl

By Emma Koehn on 27 November 2011

You want your celebrities to have some brain power, right? Or at least have decent taste. Wear some Ray Bans, for instance, and a floral dress. Hold a Penguin Classic for when the need to read strikes, or carry some vinyl LPs in their second hand bike baskets… Well, the ‘famous tides’ turn all the [...]

Naked and pregnant

Naked and pregnant

By Rebecca Howden on 17 November 2010

Everyone from Cindy Crawford to Christina Aguillera has done it. Ever since Demi Moore appeared naked and seven months pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991, it’s been a common trend for celebrities to pose for nude photos when they’re expecting. This week, Miranda Kerr has joined the hall of fame and stripped [...]

We’re not that submissive, Stephen Fry

We’re not that submissive, Stephen Fry

By Rebecca Howden on 3 November 2010

Oh, Stephen Fry. Just because everybody loves you, it doesn’t mean you don’t need to think before you speak. In fact, I’d suggest that being so revered by so many people means he should be especially careful. In particular, when he’s suggesting that women don’t actually enjoy sex; they just put up with it “because [...]

Glee – putting the G into GQ

Glee – putting the G into GQ

By Erin Stewart on 27 October 2010

Recently, some cast members of Fox TV show, Glee have posed for racy photographs for GQ magazine. For the assumedly very few who don’t know, Glee is a comedy/drama set in an American high school. The characters in the ‘glee club’ are often unpopular so they use the club to find friends, and presumably find [...]

Celebs may get to silence media gossips

By Michelle on 31 July 2008

From news.com.au: “CELEBRITIES could keep embarrassing personal details and candid photos away from the public gaze, under proposed laws. Media outlets that rely on unauthorised photographs and news about celebrities may be forced to tone down their content under a new privacy regime being considered by the Federal Government. This could be a heavy blow to gossip mags such [...]

    FEMALE PERCEPTIONS PROGRAM

    Every woman’s got one, but what exactly should they look like?

    We are conducting a study to examine women’s perceptions of normality and abnormality in a very personal part of the anatomy - women’s genitalia. Taking part in the study involves viewing a range of images of women’s vaginas.

    Understanding women’s opinions of what is normal is vital to help understand and promote positive body image. We are seeking women between 18 and 30 who are willing to give us half an hour of their time. Note that the study involves viewing and rating a series of explicit images.

    This study forms part of a PhD research project being conducted at The University of Queensland. The study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the School of Psychology.

    If you are interested in taking part in this confidential study please contact Claire on 04000 65945 / c.moran1@uq.edu.au, School of Psychology.
