TV Recap

Paula Malcolmson showed parts of her breasts in last night's Ray Donovan (s2e8)

The Great Fappening

If you have been pulling a Rip van Winkle, you may not realize that yesterday was perhaps the most shocking day in the history of celebrity nudity. One of the contributors on 4Chan posted dozens and dozens of alleged hacked celebrity cell phone photos. The most significant collections involved Jennifer Lawrence, in many stages of undress and some explicit poses, and Kate Upton, with nothing covering her enormous natural breasts. Those two women were the most popular in the hacked group because they are A-list stars and have never done nude scenes or photo spreads, but they were by no means the only ones to be exposed. In all, about 20 celebrities were involved in the first wave of posts, and the hacker also posted a list of some 100 celebrities whose pictures are in his possession, so people expect to see many more in the near future.

As the evening progressed, trolls started to enter the fray and were posting various fakes, claiming that they were part of the treasure trove, and leading to some chaotic discussions among those trying to separate fact from fiction. The chaos was exacerbated by the fact that various legal actions were being pursued, with both private and public enforcers attempting to take down the pictures as soon as they appeared online. I'll try to keep the post up-to-date, within the limitations of wakefulness, so you can read the update and additional details in this thread at OtherCrap.com
