This bed looks like a dead animal act

Here's some news from the world of nekkid lust, for those of you who crave that sorta thing. Eros seems to be roaming and leering this week anyway, might as well give him his peace.

• Macy Gray gets naked on stage in London, to help raise money for Elton John's AIDS foundation. A very cool and brave idea, though I bet many more dollars would've been raised if she hadn't been huddled in a chair with her back to the audience.
  
• "She shattered into a million glowing stars": Random selections from the Romance Writer's Phrase Book.
  
• James Joyce's dirty letters are in the news again. The idea of posthumous privacy strikes me as daft, and anyway those letters have the magical effect of transmogrifying Joyce from a literary to a corporeal wanker, which makes me actually want to read Ulysses someday when I have time on my hands.
  
• Rodney Dangerfield, nude! Well, you have to use your imagination. OK, no, it's pretty explicit, actually. Ever wonder why he's got those watery bug-eyes? Sixty years of daily spliffing...
  
• Science proves that love is blind. Yet lust is clear-eyed and gaze-oriented, right? Aw hell, lust and love are strangely twined. Let's all vow to learn more about our collective brain's "reward system"...
  
• Judge allegedly uses penis pump on the bench, USA Today predictably rushes to press with the scoop.
  
• Savage Love's boring metacolumn. Unflavor your night.
