Hugh Hefner generously announced today that naked Miley Cyrus would be nakedly “welcomed in [his] magazine” full of naked ladies—when she’s of age, of course. [Us] This isn’t the first time that the doddering coot, or his kin, pulled such a stunt, knowing full well the offer would get a write up in the gossip columns, but that the starlets would never agree. Below, a look back at some of the million dollar deals, made by creepy old men, and Joe Francis, that never were.

• We forgive the Shins for the “changing over lives” since they recently sold songs for Zune and iPhone ads. Way to stick it to the man by selling out to him.

• Despite mountains of forensic evidence, O.J. Simpson pleads not guilty. Deja vu anyone?

• The Olsen twins business savvy goes beyond direct to rental videos. The asking price for their West Village condo is nearly triple what they originally bought it for. Meanwhile, our rent only increased $45 a month this year.

• Jake Gyllenhaal will star in a Joe Namath biopic. Reenacting the panty hose ad will surely squash any rumors about his sexuality.

• Despite being locked up in a Utah rehab center, Lindsay Lohan has nonetheless managed to procure herself illegal drugs and “sex in a toilet cubicle” (or, as her counselors call it, “pulling a Larry Craig.”)

• Britney Spears found guilty of child wardrobe abuse! Also, her crappy new single hits airwaves next week, much to the delight of snarky gossip columnist and YouTube parodists everywhere.

• Boycott the Olsens new clothing line! Because they’re promoting the slaughter of cute little animals. And, well, because they expect you to shell out $150 for a faux-vintage t-shirt.

• Salma Hayek is totally looking forward to motherhood! Especially the part where she and her mysterious baby-daddy Francois-Henri Pinault live in complete separate continents.

• Hilary Swank shows off her brand-new A-cups in the the designer bikini version of the cheesy “tuxedo t-shirt.”

• You know you’re looking a mess when your fellow prison inmate describes your current weave by saying, “Her hair looks like whoever did it ran.”

It’s not that we plan on bumrushing Indochine today to get a look at Sarah Jessica Parker’s super secret fashion line – or to sneak a peak at which second-tier editors are forced to attend the grand unveiling – but we took a particular interest in Mrs. Matthew Broderick’s Bitton collection because of what it’s being compared to.

• “Britney was drunk off her ass. She was completely trashed. She couldn’t walk straight, she couldn’t stand up straight. She was completely gone.” Funny, as this describes only one evening in the life of America’s pop queen.

• Michael Jackson returns to the U.S. to hit Las Vegas, home to a former molestation accuser and perhaps his latest attempt to earn an income.

• Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner baptize baby Violet, refuse to let thetans take over her mind.

• Britney Spears breaks things off with Paris Hilton, insists it’s not personal.

• Oh, so you heard Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got married? So we don’t have to talk about it? Even the part where Andrea Bocelli snubbed the Scientology couple? Unless their flight to the Maldives goes down in flames? Great!

• Michael “Kramer” Richards pulls a Mel Gibson, launches into racist rant on stage, might not receive free drinks at the Laugh Factory any more.

• TomKat’s Italian wedding will have seating for parties for the bride, groom, and Scientologist. [Fox 411]

• Patricia Dunn and Jeanine Pirro: separated at birth? [ATL]

• As if Anna Nicole Smith didn’t have enough drama surrounding her, she decided to marry her baby daddy. [Star]

• Wait, the Olsen Twins were buying food? Beef jerky, Life Savers? Must be for the bodyguards. [Lowdown]

• The nanny is making your Upper East Side kids fat. Because you know it’s not the genes. [NYT]

• Most little kids who’s parents force them into beauty pageants don’t become stars. [AP]

• Even though they each take up one quarter of a normal person’s space, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen still need to RSVP to Fashion Week. [Gatecrasher]

• Graydon Carter attends a Cathy Horyn-less Carolina Herrera fashion show, but was not thinking about fashion. Well, at least that means he won’t write a terrible review. [FBNY]

• Before they figure out how Anna Nicole Smith’s son died, maybe they should they figure out where he died. [People]

• This year, Anna Wintour is taking a somewhat hands-off approach when it comes to Fashion Week. Well, that, or she’s sweet on a British tennis pro. [Lowdown]

• We bet Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t take the subway. [Page Six]

• This Lindsay Lohan tribute is the most misogynistic, disgusting, bullshit we’ve ever heard. We actually couldn’t listen to the whole thing. Straight guys will probably think it’s funny though. [TMZ]

• So, Julia Louis Dreyfus really deserved that Emmy, eh? Her jokes are so subtle, nobody can figure out if she’s actually making them. Or, you know, not. [Gawker]

• How much do you wanna’ bet these ads are illegal? Not to mention the immense disturbance caused by the TV news overkill. [FBNY]

• The Olsen Twins will only smile when in Canada. [Mollygood]

• In honor of the Olsen Twins, NYU is helping teenagers make sure they will compare to the celebrities roaming Washington Square Park. [NYP]

• We’re not sure what’s worse: letting your three-year-old hang out at a tattoo parlor or letting him run away. [AP]

A couple weekends ago, the Sunday New York Times featured an article in the Styles section, which focused on New York City gym goers. You may remember the quaint little piece, titled 24 Hour Sweaty People, which followed anonymous quasi-celebs and magazine editors around the Lafayette St. Crunch.

And because our in shape Intern Zack earns his cash as a paid employee of New York University by holding up the fort at the school’s gym, former NYC hotspot The Palladium, we thought it might be fun to do a little NYU version of the sweaty story.

What kind of secrets does NYU’s always crowded gym hold in the summer time? We’ve heard rumors of certain NYU alum cum media members picking up freshman on the rowing machines, and of girls dressing up as fake Olsen twins during the school year. But, we wanted Zack to put his journalism school skills to good use and do some quasi actual reporting. You know, on NYU’s dime.

After the jump, an attempt at Times style analysis of 9 hours of glistening college students. And try to keep your keys from getting too sticky …

• The real mystery is figuring out why New Yorkers are spending so much time uncovering a friggin’ cake. [NYO]

• We had no idea there was a list of “endangered historical places” in New York. Is there like a t-shirt or a poster we can get or something? [NYT]

• The most dangerous thing in Park Slope is not the falling foam. It’s the flip-flops. [NYDN]

• Mort Zuckerman is putting money toward helping people who got cancer from reading his newspaper. Fine, we don’t actually have any proof that the Daily News causes cancer, but it often makes us want to smoke a pack cigarettes when reading it. [NYT]

• Um, the Olsen twins are supposed to carry on the tradition of art and culture in New York? We are at a loss for gasps. [NYO]

• Tween heartthrobs model themselves after the Olsen Twins. Only four more years until they stop eating and drop out of college. [NYT]

• Lindsay Lohan and Brett Ratner are just friends. Friends who know nothing about each other, but friends none the less. [Page Six]

• Time magazine lists the 100 most influential people. It’s such a shame Jim Kelly didn’t make it this year. [NYDN]

• We thought Britney Spears would be thrilled to bring another paparazzi/DCFS magnet into the world, but, no. [Scoop]

• Pete Doherty claims that the needle he was shooting into a passed out woman was empty. Because injecting air into an unconscious girl isn’t at all harmful. [AP]

• Nothing says “crack baby” like a Whitney Houston pregnancy rumor. [Scoop]

• Rapper Shyne is changing his name to something Jewish and will take out a New York Post ad to announce it. Page Six, naturally, must cover it. [Page Six]

• What’s a Spin magazine celebration if there isn’t a simultaneous Spin snub? [Page Six]

• Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fire their PR guy after 13 years of working with him. We guess he wasn’t covering up their faces with their hand bags well enough. [Page Six]

• The hardest part about the split between Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson isn’t Jess’ refusal to give spousal support. It’s the media exposing the fact that while he was cleaning the pool and preening the yard, she was getting busy with a musician with a real career. [People]

• Britney Spears would have to be out of her mind, driving-with-baby-on-lap crazy, to sink so low as to be on her husband’s album. [MSNBC]

• Jennifer Aniston is afraid of turning 40 because she won’t have babies, an Oscar, or a family. So, why isn’t she afraid of turning 37 and 11 days? [Star]

• What everyone else refers to as a respirator, Madonna calls an “air machine.” [Page Six]

Witness, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen proving, once again, that seperately, they have no appeal — and this time they’re doing it in Badgley Mischka’s upcoming print campaign. Funny, because it was just last year Proenza Schouler practically Dick Cheney‘d the Olsen twins when M-K & A wore their garb.

Twin Set [People]

• Craigslist will be cutting down on the brokers bombarding the sites living section by slapping a $10 charge on rental listings. Don’t worry, though, diamond thiefs can still post for free. [Curbed]

• The Olsen Twins are helping Jodie Sweeten get off drugs? Are we missing something? [People]

• Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t care about her Oscar neglect. She’s having a baby girl! They should name her something really crazy like Jane. [Star]

• What is this, Project Runway? Harvey Weinstein, we know your movie didn’t get an Oscar, but save your tears — maybe the hostess at Morimoto will take pity on you and give you reservation next week. [NYO]

• China is so crazy. They have no problem with children being trafficked through their country, but god forbid their actresses play Japanese characters. [MSNBC]

It seems that the brilliant, epic film Zoolander inspired more than Will Farrell’s comic genius.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will now be designing haute street wear for rich people who want to look homeless. (Warning: dressing like MK may lead to being dumped for someone as trashy as Paris Hilton.)

They’re renowned for their uber casual street style, with Mary-Kate even admitting to wearing pyjamas out - just hidden beneath a classy coat.

So the news that their new collections, Boho Fever and To Dye For, are soon to be on sale will come as exciting news to a whole host of quirky teenagers and casual dressers.

This news may not be “exciting” (except to maybe Starbucks) but it’s nice to see that quirky teens will once again have an outlet for expressing their desire to dress like they live under the subway.
