There are very few things that I like better than a hottie in a American flag bikini, it’s trashy, patriotic, tacky, uplifting and sexy all at the same time. Not to mention it normally means it’s around the fourth of July and I’m half in the bag, shirtless in some dive bar near a beach somewhere. Good times. Anyhow, here’s Rihanna rocking her red white and blues while she films some video on a farm over in Ireland. What the USA’s farms aren’t good enough for you princess? Not cool. Apparently the farmer who owns the field wasn’t please with Rihanna showing all this skin and forced them to stop filming. Thanks for ruining it for everyone guy.

Kendra Wilkinson was known as “the sporty one” on The Girls Next Door , and on her own spinoff series, Kendra , the bubbly SoCal blonde often skindulged in crazy adventures like topless skydiving (seen above). Now, a new memoir shows that Kendra likes her skin sessions wild, too. In her new book Being Kendra: Cribs, Cocktails and Getting My Sexy Back , the always candid Kendra divulges her favorite places to get busy: “[Hank and I] try to limit being in the bedroom as much as possible. We think about sleep [there] instead of sex, so we venture off into different places like the kitchen and the Jacuzzi.” But which one was her favorite? “Hank and I had sex on a jet ski in Cabo! It was awesome… That’s the fun of it. Sex is sex… I’m not a PDA person, but I like sex in cars and stuff,” Kendra says. So there you have it folks- if Kendra’s SUV is rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’….unless you want a face full of Hank Baskett ‘s fist.

Mr. Skin’s Skin Skout caught a screening of the upcoming drama Take This Waltz at the Toronto Film Festival, and the early report confirms that comedienne Sarah Silverman appears to make her nude debut 41 minutes into the film. Sarah, along with Blue Valentine babe Michelle Williams and Bliss ‘s Jennifer Podemski , bares full frontal as the gals casually chat in a locker room. (Williams, a veteran of 6 nude roles, bares bush again at the 51-minute mark and boobs 1 hour, 37 minutes in, but this is the only skin scene featuring nudecomer Silverman). The always sarcastic Sarah has been on a campaign of self-deprecation since the news of her nude scene broke last winter, telling New York magazine that she gained 20 pounds for the role and that “In all honesty, I would say it’s a lot closer to Kathy Bates in About Schmidt than, like, Julianne Moore in Short Cuts . I am begging you to lower your expectations!” Speaking of lowered expectations, though the cast hasn’t admitted to faking their nudes, with the film still on the festival circuit our skin technicians haven’t had a chance to skinspect the footage for CGI nipples or merkins- and with Apatow regular Seth Rogen on the project, there’s always a chance he brought some of that bad The Change-Up juju with him. Our verdict? Cautiously optimistic. There IS a full frontal scene in Take This Waltz, and we’re betting Sarah is looking a lot better than her comedic sensibilities will let her admit . But with the threat of CGI nudes on the horizon, we’ll believe tits when we see ’em. For all the newest, nudest updates on Sarah Silverman , Michelle Williams and Take this Waltz , stay tuned right here at the Mr. Skin blog!
Young Muslims and Arab-Americans tell MTV News about their lives as Americans in the decade since the September 11, 2001, attacks. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Tami Katzoff Photo: Robert Nickelsberg/ Getty Images Life changed for every American on September 11, 2001, but perhaps no group felt that change so profoundly as Muslims and Arab-Americans, who, after spending decades living largely under the radar, suddenly found themselves the target of scorn, harassment, discrimination and, in some cases, violence — and all because of the color of their skin. In the months following the attacks, as reports of anti-Muslim hostility circulated and protests outside of mosques became a regular occurrence, MTV News’ Sway Calloway worked on a story that attempted to document the lives of young Muslims in post-9/11 America, in part because he saw parallels between their ordeal and the ongoing civil-rights struggles faced by African-Americans. “The country was in fear, people were scrambling, no one trusted anyone, no one knew what was coming next,” Calloway said earlier this week. “At the time, there were a lot of racially motivated crimes that were starting to take place against Muslim-Americans … so, it was important to go into the Muslim community and talk to our audience. “It was something that I truly wanted to do, because I could, in some way, relate to it. There were kids who were school-age, kids who were college-age, parents and grandparents, who all had horrible stories to tell. It definitely divided us as a people.” But, 10 years later, has that division grown or has time helped heal the wounds? Sadly, given recent events like the fervent debate over the planned Park51 Muslim community center , the answer appears to be the former. MTV News recently sat down with a group of young Muslims and Arab-Americans, who have spent the past decade growing up in a society that has fundamentally changed, to hear their experiences in this very new America. Adil Ibrahim, 26, student “I remember: It was physics class and … we were watching [the aftermath of the attacks] on TV, and immediately, I felt people around me giving me a look. Twenty minutes later, the teacher asked me, ‘Hey, you’re from Pakistan, right?’ And my global knowledge grew eons in, like, a week. I became an educator for my religion. “I think, in some aspects, things have gotten worse since, and in some aspects, they’ve gotten better. People are more aware of the religion of Islam, and some people are more aware of what the Middle East is, and the differences between the regions and the people there. … People have become more knowledgeable. But, at the same time, people have become more angry, people’s relatives and sons and daughters have died in the war, so there’s a hatred there, and I understand that. We need to educate people even more.” Nadine Sfeir, 24, law student “[On September 11, 2001,] I was 14 years old, in high school, in drama class, and I remember my mom pulling me out, crying, because she thought it was going to be just like when America detained all the Japanese [after the attack on Pearl Harbor]. And I remember, distinctly, on the drive home, hearing on our local radio station: ‘It’s the Palestinians.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ Because if our local radio station was saying it was the Palestinians, we were in deep trouble. … It was very scary. “I think people are starting to get more numb to the whole issue of Muslims in America. … The ignorance is still there, of course, in many ways, but I feel most people aren’t as scared anymore.” Ramy Youssef, 20, artistic director, New York Arab-American Comedy Festival “I was in fifth grade [on September 11, 2001], and I remember, pre-9/11, I was just a kid, and then after 9/11, I was a kid on the defensive. … It became a positively defining thing for me in a lot of ways, because it became the cause I was fighting against, as opposed to fighting against, like, my parents. “I feel like I grew up in a very fear-based society, and I feel like we’re at a breaking point. I don’t know if things have gotten better. For a while, like in 2007-2008, I thought they had, then a taxicab driver gets stabbed for being Muslim, then a mosque can’t be built in New York City. … I don’t think things have gotten better, I think people’s perceptions have just settled.” Cyrus McGoldrick, 23, civil rights manager for the New York chapter of Council on American Islamic Relations, rapper/singer performing as “The Raskol Khan” “I was 13 [in 2001]. 9/11 was in my first week of high school, so it was a pretty dramatic coming of age. I was in a small town near Pennsylvania, and, at first, it was just fear. As soon as the news started zeroing in on ‘These were Muslims, and they did it because of Islam,’ we were getting calls from my aunts and uncles who were getting yelled at on the street, were getting flipped off by cars, were getting chased in the city … and I think Muslims were terrified. “A lot of things have changed. … Back then, the hate was just directed at individuals, but now, I see it more formalized in police. Now we see this anti-Muslim bigotry being formalized in law-enforcement policy and so-called ‘counter-terrorism policy.’ It’s almost a harder battle to fight now. We have a lot of work to do, as Muslims and Americans.” Share your comments on the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in the comments below.

Women and our hair, we’re always looking for the next best thing. Just like everyone else, I’ve spent my money on products, equipment and accessories in search for the best combination to create that fresh “ready to go” look that fits my budget. Well, I believe I’ve finally found one part of that combination. The Sam Villa SLEEKR Professional Flat Iron . Sam Villa’s SLEEKR flat iron is for the everyday woman who cares about keeping healthy hair while achieving salon styled looks at home. First thing I always look for in a flat iron is the plates. The SLEEKR’s ceramic plates deliver even heat distribution throughout the entire iron and are sensitive enough to not damage the fine hair but strong enough to straighten even the thickest tresses. SLEEKR also coats the plates with Tourmaline which adds extra shine and a smooth finish. Another important thing in the search for a flat iron is keeping in mind the protection of color treated hair. If your iron is too hot, the heat will loosen the color treating chemical causing a fade or dullness of color over time and even rinse out some of the color during your next shampoo. Well with the SLEEKR, there is a setting for color treated hair that is strategically set to get hot enough do the job while keeping in mind to preserve your fabulous color. Don’t think Sam Villa forgot about us natural hair ladies. There’s a special ‘virgin hair’ setting with low heat specifically targeted for natural hair to protect from breakage and heat damage. The light indicator let’s you know when it’s hot and ready to use, I barely had time to part my hair into sections before the SLEEKR heated all the way up! Once your SLEEKR is heated to the desired setting and you’re ready to go, it’s as easy as 1-2-3. 1. Select the desired section to be flat ironed. The SLEEKR allows you to control the amount of pressure your hair gets from the flat iron. Start at the root of your hair, press down as hard or little as you’d like and take a slow glide down the strands of hair. What’s great about the SLEEKR is you don’t have to run over the same piece of hair more than once. Take your time on the first time through and it will be all you need! 2. My favorite thing to do when flat ironing my hair is to also treat it like a curling iron and curl my ends as I go. The barrel on the SLEEKR is perfect for that! Wide enough to cover a good amount of hair during the flat ironing process but small and round enough to draw a sexy curl for a finishing touch. (See finished look to the left). 3. Edges: We hate them. So sensitive, so exposed and so close to our skin. But they need too much attention to just let them be. Now with the SLEEKR’s adjustable settings, when it comes to the agonizing task of getting the iron close to our face and neck, you can adjust the heat lower for a bearable experience while still getting the hairs straight. The SLEEKR is slim enough to get close to the roots and do a successful once over and be done! Everything you need to style your hair in one hand. The outcome is shiny, smooth, straight and SLEEK. Don’t forget to add your touch of curl at the end to add more bounce and body to your mane! What are some flat iron tricks you like to do when styling your hair?

Though we’re a bit tit-shy after The Change-Up went all CGI nipples on us, Skin Central is (cautiously) happy to report that our Skin Skout has seen the upcoming comedy A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy , and it lives up to the name with some good old-fashioned nudity. Angela Sarafyan kicks off the tit-ular orgy going by peeling of her top 1 hour 7 minutes in, marking the Armenian-American eyeful’s nude debut. Angela’s fellow nudecomer Lindsay Sloane appears to bare buns with Tell Me You Love Me babe Michelle Borth by the pool 10 minutes later, though we can’t see the girls’ faces (always a dead giveaway of a body double). But we can see Dee Dee Rescher ‘s face- and her cans!- as a horny older orgy-goer riding a guy reverse-cowgirl style 47 minutes in. A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy opens in select US theaters on September 2, but you can get a sneak peek with sexy stills of Angela Sarafyan and Lindsay Sloane , plus nudes from Michelle Borth and Dee Dee Rescher , after the jump!
No nudes to report this week on True Blood , though Anna Paquin stripped to sexy red bra and panties in a dream sequence where she skinitatied a threesome with her undead lovers Bill ( Stephen Moyer ) and Eric ( Alexander Skarsgard ). We loves us some Sookie, but this soft-focus scenario tasted a bit too much like sausage for Skin Central’s taste. Besides, who isn’t naked in their own sex dream? Better luck next week, skin fans. To see Anna go all the way (one guy at a time), check out our True Blood page now!
We’ve been following all the nudes on Kirsten Dunst ‘s full-frontal debut in Melancholia here at Skin Central, and now we’re slappy to announce that soon you’ll be able to fast-forward to the good parts of this “beautiful movie about the end of the world” (and you probably should, it looks like a snoozer) from the comfort of your own home. Melancholia has been picked up by Magnolia Pictures for its US theatrical release; according to the distribution company, it’ll open in select US theaters on November 11, 2011, but will premiere on VOD on October 7, meaning it’ll be available to watch on your DVR or computer a full month before it hits the silver screen. It’s nice to see Magnolia has the meat-mangling market in mind- because if the life of Paul Reubens has taught us one thing, it’s that it’s better to take care of your snake-strangling business at home. Stay tuned for our Skin Skout’s full nudity report from Melancholia this September as it makes its North American debut at the Toronto Film Festival!
Steamy temperatures can mean oily skin. “The combination of greater humidity and the fact that you’re sweating more can exacerbate oil production, resulting in increased shine,” says dermatologist Ranella Hirsch to Allure . So here’s how to stay cool & fight the shine! Gel for a while “Stop using the heavier cream cleansers that you benefit from in winter. Instead, switch to a gel to help control and absorb oil.” We like Clinique Wash-Away Gel Cleanser. Do the math “Leave your cleanser on twice as long before rinsing and then use half as much moisturizer as you typically do. The same product will work totally differently.” Can’t touch this It may seem counterintuitive, but tackling shine by overexfoliating only worsens the problem. “When you aggressively strip the skin of oil, the skin acts as if it’s under attack, which often can yield even more oil.” Protect yourself As if you need yet another reason to wear sunscreen : “Oil is actually something your skin produces to help heal injuries, so sun exposure is only going to make you produce more oil.” Meet matte Use a powder that contains clay. It functions almost like a sponge, soaking up any oil, without adding bulk to your skin. A good one: Tarte Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder.
