Kate Middleton Nude Photos Published By Chi Magazine

The Italian magazine Chi has vowed to publish more of the infamous nude and topless Kate Middleton photos that the British royal family is suing over. France’s Closer magazine ran a whole spread devoted to Kate Middleton topless last week, prompting a stinging rebuke and a lawsuit from the Duchess. Chi claims it has 200 images of the future queen sunbathing nude or at least topless, and will proceed with plans to print a 26-page, 50-photo article. The Chi cover was unveiled Saturday in Italian newspapers and TV under the headline ‘Court Scandal: The Queen is Nude!’ Check that out below … Chi is published by the same media group as Closer . Alfonso Signorini, the defiant editor of Chi , has Tweeted that “not even a direct call from the Queen” would stop him from publishing the trove of nude pictures: “I am convinced by this scoop that Chi will be publishing on Monday because that is what we are talking about. These pictures are not offensive or in poor taste.” “They are not morbid and they do not damage the dignity of anyone. Instead the [ Prince Harry naked pictures ] published in Britain were exactly that.” “If I didn’t recognize the journalistic value of what I had then if I did not publish them I would be better off in a market selling artichokes.” See more photos of Kate Middleton after the jump … “These pictures were taken while the couple were on a terrace and they were taken from a public place so there is no suggestion of an invasion of privacy.” Meanwhile, Prince William has vowed to see the people responsible for taking the pictures of his wife put behind bars or at least sued for all they’re worth. William has told pals that he will not just sue for invasion of privacy in the French civil courts but will also pursue criminal action against those responsible. Only time will tell if he has any success, or if any more photos actually do come out. Rumor has it there are more revealing shots, but we have our doubts. Click to enlarge some that have leaked so far. Mostly they look to be of the same vein as Closer ‘s photos … not surprising as they’re from the same time:

Venice Rule Strips The Master Of Golden Lion, Top Honor Goes To Kim Ki-Duk’s Pieta (Full Winners List)

Paul Thomas Anderson ‘s The Master was set to receive the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter ‘s inside source, until a decision to allow only two major awards per film forced jury members to re-assign the top honor to another contender. When the awards were doled out earlier today by Venice jury president Michael Mann, the best picture prize went to Kim Ki-Duk’s ultraviolent mother-son flick Pieta while Best Director went to Anderson. (Full list of winners follows.) Per THR : “Apparently during the jury’s first deliberations, members decided to give The Master — a drama loosely based on the origins of Scientology — the top prize, as well as the Silver Lion directing award to Anderson and the acting award jointly to co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.” UPDATED: Asked to redeliberate, the jury instead gave the Golden Lion to Pieta , leaving The Master with a joint Best Actor prize shared by stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman, along with the Silver Lion (Best Director) for Anderson. The Master had been hotly tipped for The Golden Lion, backed by a groundswell of critical praise ahead of its September 21 theatrical release.

Teresa Giudice would like to thank her fans for their recent show of support. And THG would like to ask: Who are Teresa Giudice’s fans?!? The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member continues to be embroiled in a feud with Caroline Manzo – which stems from Teresa comparing Caroline’s Italian authenticity to that of the Olive Garden in her cookbook – and, in the wake of Manzo once again lashing out , has taken to Twitter to write: “Thanks for watching the show everyone. Thanks again for the support.” Giudice has referred to Caroline as a “very angry person” and WENT OFF on her during the last episode, slamming Manzo as “a f–king c–nt [who] can go f–k herself.” You can fill in those blanks. And then you can response: Whose side are you on in this feud?
