Earlier this month, WWE Diva Maria Kanellis joined the likes of Kim Kardashian, Holly Madison and a number of other less-than-talented vixens that shot to mainstream fame thanks to a Playboy cover shoot.

Below, she talks to the publication about her favorite wrestlers, sexual positions and more...

Do you have any WWE crushes?
Definitely John Cena. [But as far as classic wrestlers] I'd have to say Rowdy Roddy Piper -- it's all in the name. Rowdy Roddy Piper, come on! And he comes out in a skirt? I want to see what's going on there!

Don't worry, fellas, Maria Kanellis gets a lot more naked as her Playboy pictorial unfolds.

You call your boobs "Tiggers." What are your nicknames?
I have a couple of nicknames. Kitty is the big one right now, from the way I act in bed - from crawling or the way I arch my back during sex.

What are your favorite sexual positions?
I like being on bottom. I have so much control in the outside world, I don't necessarily want it when I'm in the bed. Depends on my mood. Sometimes I can be aggressive; other times I'm pretty passive.

Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are running such a competitive race for the Democratic presidential nomination that many voters want them to run in tandem.

Good luck getting one to agree to take the V.P. spot. Still, one artist's rendering of an Obama-Clinton ticket took on a whole new meaning this week. Gross!

Opposing Obillary, of course, is John McCain, who (at least regarding the Iraq war) is sounding more like President Bush each day. We'll call it McBush!

Which candidate below would you vote for? There's little doubt that the frightening lagoon creature on the left has the diversity vote locked up ...

Interestingly, the Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton image is actually taken from a real ad for a school in Brussels, Belgium, with the visible tagline "why choose if you can combine?" The gist - it's a college and university in one! Clever!

Meanwhile, our celebrity gossip presidential primary remains a tight race!

There was no surprise elimination on American Idol last night.

The two contestants that performed the worst on Tuesday - Kristy Lee Cook and Amanda Overmyer - were the final two left standing, as Ryan Seacrest milked every last second of the show for suspense, as usual.

In the end, rocker nurse Overmyer was voted off by viewers. The skunk-haired singer had shattered too many ear drums this week with her version of "Back in the U.S.S.R."

With Overmyer eliminated, Cook lives to look good and sing badly for at least another week. Hopefully, she'll let the world know again what she plans on doing to Simon.

Her world turned upside down by nude photos, Audrina Patridge is responding to the naked pics of her that were leaked onto the Internet Wednesday.

"Regarding the photos that someone released to the public today without my consent, I wanted you to know they were taken when I was just out of high school and beginning to model," Patridge said in a MySpace bulletin.

The sexy shots of Audrina Patridge nude, which were allegedly submitted to (but later rejected by) Playboy, were supposed to be "artistic and not in any way provocative" and "not meant to be seen by the public," she said.

Not meant to be seen by the public? But they were submitted to Playboy? Not judging Audrina here by any means, but something doesn't add up! 

"I was naive, overly trusting and inexperienced," said the 22-year-old star of The Hills. "I thought to be a model you had to be comfortable in front of the camera. I'm not ashamed of these photos, but I don't want my fans to think they have to do what I did. I hope people can learn from my inexperience. It's been almost five years since I posed for that shoot, and during that time I have learned many lessons."

We just hope Lauren Conrad can forgive her... not for the nude pics, but for going behind her back to befriend Heidi Montag again. WTF girl!?

When it comes to being a teen role model, Miley Cyrus only has competition from herself.

Sure, young fans scream and drool over Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, but let's get real. In the pantheon of popular child stars, there's Miley - and then there's everyone else.

Therefore, it's appropriate that we pit the Hannah Montana portrayer against herself in the following celebrity fashion face-off. Let us know which look you like best on the singer:

Dark and curly hair? Or lighter locks with bangs?

No matter how she appears in public, Miley Cyrus can look forward to legions of adoring fans following her every move.

Michelle Trachtenberg is joining the cast of Gossip Girl.

The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer and EuroTrip star will portray Georgina Sparks, a troublemaker from Serena's (Blake Lively) past. As earlier reported, thin actress Mischa Barton had been offered the role.

This marks the second big project for Trachtenberg in 2008. She's also starring alongside Zac Efron in the movie 17 Again, out in August.

"I just want to say that I can always trust my good friends that I've had forever, but at the same time, some of my oldest friends have betrayed me," Lauren Conrad reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.

That's juicy, even for the world of The Hills!

In an exclusive interview, LC talks about how ex Brody Jenner went public with a new girlfriend (Cora Skinner) just days after she left for Paris.

To make matters worse, best friend Audrina Patridge allegedly buried the hatchet with Conrad's ex-BFF and current rival, Heidi Montag.

"At this point, I have to question every person that wants a relationship with me, whether it's friendship or a romantic relationship," Conrad said.

"[Audrina Patridge] has to remind me that she's not someone who's going to betray me," the 22-year-old star of The Hills says pointedly.

As for Brody Jenner's rebound with Cora Skinner, she says, "When you have that type of thing, you always have to question, 'Why wasn't I good enough?'"

"It's disappointing to have to question relationships," she adds.

The latest betrayals have been especially difficult for Lauren Conrad, who battled sex tape rumors allegedly spread by Montag and Spencer Pratt.

She also caught ex-boyfriend Jason Wahler kissing another girl (Jessica Smith), but stood by him as he got arrested four times and went to rehab.

After he got out, Wahler promptly got engaged to Katja Decker-Sadowski.

All this and more will come flooding back to us as The Hills returns on Monday, March 24. Not sure about you, but we can't wait.

As the week in naked celebrities continues to roll (Audrina Patridge nude, Kristin Davis sex tape rumors, and Ashley Dupre gone wild to boot), Amy Winehouse is also taking her clothes off. But actually for good reason this time.

Amy Winehouse is naked for charity, stripping down to nothing for photographer Carolyn Djangoly as part of a campaign to raise awareness about breast cancer among young women around the world, according to Radar Online.

The British singer and songwriter is appearing buck ass naked in the April issue of British women's magazine Easy Living, where she's pictured strumming a guitar in the buff while covered only in two pieces of duct tape. Hot! Sort of...

Let this be a lesson to all of you that Amy Winehouse naked and looking out of it (with a mild S&M twist) is fine, as long as she's doing it for a good cause.

Surely Blake Fielder-Civil has no problem with this pic!

Then again, the junkie is probably too busy trying to avoid becoming somebody's sex slave in the laundry room to have even seen it yet. Prison sucks.

There was an era where you couldn't go a week on The Hollywood Gossip without a Britney Spears crotch shot. Girl seriously hates pants.

Well, Britney Spears' days of going out without any knickers on are a thing of the past â€" thanks to father and legal co-conservator Jamie Spears.

According to the Showbiz Spy, Jamie is serious - and personally checks that the singer isn't wearing no underwear before she leaves the house.

Jamie Spears, who is in charge of all his daughter's legal and financial affairs while she receives treatment, is fed up with the star's clothing â€" and wants to ensure her no underwear / crotch-flashing days are behind her. The nerve!

Great moments in Britney Spears nipple slip history (circa Spring 2007).

"[Jamie Spears] makes sure to ask Britney if she has underwear on before she goes out," a source close to the family dished.

The singer's personal assistant, Brett, also reportedly checks the pop singer to see if she's wearing no panties and no bra. Sounds like a great job to us.

The source added to the National Enquirer:

"Britney tries to ignore their requests, but her dad is adamant and insists she change if she's falling out of her top."

Tries to ignore their requests? Man, you gotta love Britney Spears... and the celebrity news outlets who come up with stories like this.

Remember back when it was rumored that a Lauren Conrad sex tape was making the rounds? Well, that was crap. LC is no bad girl. But it turns out two of her co-stars have no problem with taking their clothes off for photographers.

Not that we're complaining. We're not the judging Audrina Patridge nude pictures that came out today (except to rate them a perfect 10!) and Heidi Montag has every right to get plastic surgery and try to cash in on her 15 minutes.

Which do you think is hotter: The gem from the just-released Audrina Patridge nude photo spread, or a topless Heidi Montag in the pages of Maxim?

Not a difficult call if you ask us, but tell us what YOU think! Also, for the full set of Audrina Patridge naked pics (VERY not safe for work), click here ...
