…So why won’t she strip down on screen again? Parks and Recreation ‘s Rashida Jones is (sk)interviewed in the new issue of Playboy magazine, where she admits that while she’s usually the type of gal to stay home and play board games on a Friday night, she secretly dreams of something much wilder: “Streaking through a large crowd has always been a secret fantasy of mine. Disneyland would be fun. Or maybe just showing up at the Apple Store naked and picking up an iPod shuffle and pretending nothing was wrong or different,” she says. Well, that would be different for this normally skingy celeb, but there wouldn’t be a thing wrong with it. Here’s an idea, Rashida- how’s about for starters, you get naked in front of a film crew? Until then, we’ll be waiting at the Apple store. Members can see more from sexy sitcom star Rashida Jones right here at MrSkin.com

Wow… While Steve Jobs’ biological father is getting side-eyes for trying to get in touch with his son in his final days, his birth mother is holed up in a nursing home completely unaware that the son she was forced to give up passed away. Joanne Simpson, who reluctantly gave her son up for adoption after falling pregnant when she was a student, is seriously unwell in a nursing home in Los Angeles and has no idea her son has died, MailOnline can reveal. Sources close to the family said the Apple founder’s biological mother, Joanne Simpson, 79, is tragically battling advanced dementia. She has very limited mental capacity and is said barely to know who she is, let alone what has become of the son she gave away. Jobs was adopted in 1955 after being born to Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Syrian man, and Joanne Schieble, who was a graduate student at the time. The couple were not married and keeping him would have been deemed shameful by their communities. Brought up by Paul and Clara Jobs, Steve is thought to have reconciled with his mother but never to have made contact with his biological father. In his renowned 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, Jobs described how his mother signed the adoption papers reluctantly, wanting to give him away to a well-educated couple. Paul Jobs was a high-school drop-out who became a machinist and his wife Clara never graduated from college. Joanne Simpson eventually married Jandali and the couple had another child, Mona Simpson, who went on to become a famous novelist, before getting divorced. She later remarried. ‘My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student,’ Jobs said in his speech. ‘She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates.’ When he grew up, Jobs found his mother and the two kept in touch. He also forged a relationship with his biological sister. Despite the reconciliation, Simpson’s dementia is so serious she has no idea about her son’s death. Her condition has so far deteriorated she is said briefly to have been admitted to a mental hospital after neighbours reported seeing her wandering the streets half naked. A source said: ‘Steve was one of the richest men in the world, but his wealth couldn’t save him and it couldn’t save his mother. ‘We used to find her wondering the streets wearing only a house coat with nothing underneath and sometimes we would find her wearing barely anything climbing trees in her bare feet. ‘In the end someone dropped her at a mental hospital as they were so concerned for her wellbeing and then when her daughter found out they eventually moved her to a nursing home. ‘She was a lovely woman so it was very hard to see her demise. Now she is locked in her own body and barely knows who she is let alone Steve anymore.’ Dayum. Source

You knew it would happen sooner or later: Late Apple founder Steve Jobs will reportedly be getting getting the big screen biopic treatment, courtesy of Sony. The Social Network studio has acquired feature rights to Walter Isaacson’s as-yet unreleased authorized book Steve Jobs , which culls interviews with Jobs and his close associates and family members and has been fast-tracked to hit shelves October 24.
