New Calvin Klein It Girl Eva Mendes’ new titillating ad for Secret Obsession perfume is soooo racy that it’s been banned on TV!
In the 30-second TV spot, Mendes caresses herself, rolls around in an unmade bed and flashes one of her nipples. She then whispers in a husky voice: “Between love and madness lies obession. Love … madness it’s my secret.”
Calvin Klein prez Tom Murry says he’s not surprised by the ban.
We believe the commercial is exceptional and hits the mark for Secret Obsession,” he told the Daily News. “We are anticipating a very successful global launch.”
An edited version of the racy TV spot will run on cable TV while the original ad will run abroad.

Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon are, at long last, ready for their closeups. Their outlandishly overpriced, highly anticipated, paparazzi-thwarting closeups.
As has been long expected, the deep pockets over at People magazine won the bidding war for the U.S. and Canadian rights to the twins’ first photoshoot, with Hello! magazine snagging the international exclusive.
Though there’s no official word on how much the publications shelled out to show the world Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s genetically blessed double act—or whether the newborns can out-cute big sis Shiloh’s People debut—reports have placed the camera coup at $14 million.
For those keeping score at home, that’s more than double the $6 million People shelled out for the exclusive for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony‘s twins, Max and Emme.
The Jolie-Pitts have already made clear, however, that all the money from the photos will be donated to charity.
The twins, not yet one month old having entered the world to much fanfare on July 12, will make their cover debuts on both People and Hello! on Monday.
In an unnecessary attempt to generate more interest in the issue, People will debut the cover shot online Sunday night at 7 p.m. EST.
Let the countdown begin.

MOJAVE, Calif., July 28 — British entrepreneur and adventurer Richard Branson on Monday took the wraps off an aircraft that, for $200,000 a seat, may someday take tourists who can afford it on the first leg of regular, albeit very brief, commercial flights into space.
Amid extravagantly orchestrated publicity at a historic test airfield near Edwards Air Force Base, Branson unveiled the double-hulled “mother ship” built to carry a capsule filled with six wealthy tourists high into the stratosphere, from where the smaller ship would rocket into the blackness more than 60 miles above Earth.
The dual-fuselage, all-composite plane expands and refines the smaller version that famed aircraft designer Burt Rutan twice used four years ago to begin the journey of a piloted capsule to sub-orbital altitude, winning the X-Prize competition aimed at encouraging private spaceflight.
No one knows when Virgin Galactic will fly, but about 100 people have already paid full price for the trip, which comes to $50,000 per minute for the four minutes the travelers will spend in weightlessness. An additional 170 have put down deposits.

If Mac clone maker Psystar manages to survive what’s sure to be an expensive copyright battle with Apple over its right to sell Mac clones, the company may need to find new headquarters — again.
Internet real estate sites show that the building that houses Psystar — a Doral, Fla., property that is essentially a distribution warehouse — is on the market for $4.6 million.
One ad for the property, which makes no mention of Psystar, notes that it’s a 47,000-square-foot “warehouse/office building.” The ad boasts that the property is “priced for quick sale” and adds that it includes “space for bulk, rack and bin storage, aisle space, receiving and shipping space, packing and crating space, and office space with bathrooms.”
In other words, it’s perfect for assembling and shipping computers.
Florida state records indicate that the property is currently owned by a company called Constructora Canahuati, which has no apparent connection to Psystar.
Psystar has had several addresses in its brief history. When it first popped up in April, it called 112th Street in Miami home. It then switched to two different addresses on NW 28th St. in Doral, Fla., before settling on building number 10475.
Apple filed a copyright infringement suit against Psystar earlier this month, charging that Psystar has been selling Macintosh clones in violation of Apple’s software license. “We take it very seriously when we believe people have stolen our intellectual property,” said an Apple spokeswoman earlier this week.
Apple is asking the U.S. District Court in San Francisco to order Psystar to stop selling Mac clones and to recall units it’s already sold. Psystar officials have not returned calls seeking comment.
Psystar claims its Mac clones cost about one-quarter to half of what Apple branded systems sell for. In defense of its clones, the company charges that Apple marks up the cost of the hardware on which its operating systems ride by as much as 80%.
One version of Psystar’s Open Computer features Apple’s Leopard OS X 10.5 INTC) Core2Duo processor at 2.66 GHz, a 250-GB hard drive, and an Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT graphics card.

Los Angeles County gearing up for same-sex marriage licenses – Los Angeles Times

Supervisor Yaroslavsky wants the county to be ready as soon as possible to comply with the Supreme Court ruling. It will be at least 30 days before licenses are issued, officials say.
Marriage license officials across Southern California scrambled Friday to prepare for an anticipated crush of same-sex couples rushing to the altar now that the Supreme Court has lifted the state’s gay marriage ban.
In Los Angeles County, supervisors asked Dean C. Logan, acting registrar-recorder and county clerk, to report back Tuesday on what needs to be done before the order takes effect.

A massive search and rescue operation is under way in south-western China after one of the most powerful earthquakes in decades.
Troops have arrived in Wenchuan county at the epicentre, which was largely cut off by the quake – but heavy rain is hampering rescue operations.
Elsewhere in Sichuan province, frantic efforts are being made to reach thousands of people under the rubble.
The death toll is now more than 12,000, officials say, and looks set to rise.

In one city, Mianyang, near the epicentre, more than 18,000 people are said to be buried under the rubble and 3,629 have been confirmed dead, state news agency Xinhua reports.
In the nearby town of Mianzhu, at least 4,800 people are trapped under the rubble and massive landslides have buried roads to outlying villages, Xinhua says.
Premier Wen Jiabao was quick to reach the scene and urged rescuers to clear roads into the worst-hit areas as fast as possible.
“As long as there is even a little hope, we will redouble our efforts 100 times and will never relax our efforts,” he told crying locals through a loudhailer in the badly hit Dujiangyan city, south-east of the epicentre.
The health ministry has made an urgent appeal for people to give blood to help the injured.

Grand Theft Auto IV, the latest iteration of the hit video game franchise, racked up first-week sales of $500 million, Take-Two Interactive, the game’s publisher, plans to announce on Wednesday. The report exceeded the sales expectations of analysts.
The company is expected to report it sold six million copies of the graphically violent game, 3.6 million of them on the first day.
The sales exceed projections of industry analysts who were estimating that some five million consumers would purchase the game in the first two weeks.
The significance of the sales extends beyond buoying Take-Two, a company that has had its share of legal, financial and management struggles in the last few years. The company is the subject of a $2 billion hostile takeover effort by Electronic Arts, which is offering Take Two shareholders $25.74 a share for control of the company. If Take-Two can exceed sales expectations on Grand Theft Auto IV, it has the potential to drive up the share price and force Electronic Arts to raise its offer.
On Tuesday, Take Two’s shares closed at $26.35, up 29 cents.
Electronic Arts’ takeover bid turned hostile after Take-Two management said that it would not negotiate an acquisition agreement with Electronic Arts — or any suitor — until after the release of Grand Theft Auto IV. Now that the game is out, Take-Two may well have entered discussions with Electronic Arts and possibly other suitors who covet the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but Take-Two has declined to comment on whether such discussions are taking place.
