Bea Arthur Naked by John Currin
A topless portrait of "Golden Girls" star Bea Arthur (above) sold for nearly $2 million at New York auction house Christie's on Wednesday night. The painting was done by artist John Currin in 1991. The Brooklyn, NY, based artist caused cries of misogyny and sexism from many critics when the painting made its debut. A spokesman for Christie's called the work "historically significant," but despite the high praise, the new owner has chosen to stay anonymous. See the uncensored version on the next page.

Pop Topper of the Week: Demi Lovato - 'Really Don't Care' (feat. Cher Lloyd)

May 14th, 2013 8:15pm EDT
Demi Lovato
With the wide success from her third album, Unbroken, Demi Lovato is back and better than ever with her newest album self titled Demi. Her hit single “Heart Attack” has peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is the opener to Demi, but I personally don’t think it’s the best song on the album. The album is full of Lovato’s signature ballads as well as a handful of golden dance tracks, with a song named “Really Don’t Care” being one of the best. That is why the Pop Topper of the Week is “Really Don’t Care” (feat. Cher Lloyd) by Demi Lovato.

Lovato herself originally leaked the CD on You...

Pop Topper Of The Week: 98 Degrees - 'Microphone'

May 11th, 2013 10:00am EDT
98 Degrees
What do Justin Timberlake, Destiny’s Child, and Mariah Carey have in common? They all are artists who took a longer-than-expected hiatus from the music industry to pursue other careers (or raise children). From these long breaks, these musicians have been able to pop back into the music scene and are doing surprisingly well.

So it seems like legendary pop acts are in, right? But of course! As pop fanatics, we never miss an old icon coming back into the scene (I mean, look at Madonna), and that is why we’ve named “Microphone” by 98° as the Pop Topper of the Week!
