See the First Pics of Olivia Munn Topless in Magic Mike

After a record-breaking box office weekend where Ted (2012) shattered the record set by The Hangover (2009) for the best opening for an original R-rated comedy ever and Magic Mike (2012) moonwalked its way into a tidy $41 million (not bad for a movie with a $7 million budget), we here at Skin Central can draw only one conclusion: PG-13 is passe. Long live the hard R! Speaking of hard, box office reports are interesting and all, but if that’s what you wanted you would have subscribed to Variety, right? So without further a boob, gentlemen, we proudly present, courtesy of an anonymous camera-toting movie-goer, the first pictures of Olivia Munn ‘s topless scene in Magic Mike. Now you don’t have to risk that lady from your mom’s book club seeing you going into the 10:50 screening of Magic Mike by yourself (or, God forbid, running into your mom and her book club buddies at Magic Mike ). You’re welcome. WANT TO SEE OLIVIA MUNN TOPLESS IN MAGIC MIKE? THEN FOLLOW THE LINK!

Bad Movies We Love: Billy Madison

I won’t see Adam Sandler’s new joint Jack and Jill because I’m a thinking organism, but my defiance is worthless: I’ve already watched Billy Madison enough times to line Opera Man’s pockets with box office dollars for life. He already wins. The mid ’90s marked a renaissance in vulgar, idiotic kid comedies ( Dumb and Dumber , Tommy Boy , etc), and Sandler’s breakthrough Billy Madison — which barely earned back its $20 million budget — remains the best of the bunch. Let’s jump back in time and yell “O’Doyle rules!” at this loud old gem.
