Barton Gellman, Julie Tate, and Ashkan Soltani write, in part: “Scores of pictures show infants and toddlers in bathtubs, on swings, sprawled on their backs and kissed by their mothers. In some photos, men show off their physiques. In others, women model lingerie, leaning suggestively into a webcam or striking risque poses in shorts and bikini tops.” MORE HERE..

Where the moviegoers still go to movies: China.. and because of big numbers, Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS could earn a China box office record.. this is the reason many films are changed and re-thought.. It’s not just an American box office, and China’s numbers mean real business–movies will further attempt to get big audiences across the seas.. Meanwhile in the American box this week: TRANSFORMERS stays 1, TAMMY was 2, 22 JUMP STREET 3, and DELIVER US FROM EVIL 4..
