With the recent release, both online and in print, of Lindsay Lohan’s infamous Playboy pictures, this Hollywood bad girl continues to dominate the online search results for images of celebrity women. As the new year revolves around to 2012, the big question is whether or not Lindsay Lohan’s bad behavior continues to keep her in the news, or whether she can settle down and resume her acting career.

On November 8, 2011, Hayden Panettiere was hosting MTV Europe’s award show, when a naked man streaked across stage in front of an apparantly startled Hayden Panettiere. The streaker turned out to be Irish comedian named David Monahan, who performed the nude stunt as a part of the show.

- Lindsay Lohan Handcuffed
Lindsay Lohan, the troubled celebrity actress, once again appeared in court for her multiple probation violations. This time the judge ordered Lohan handcuffed and put into a jail cell. Lohan was able to post the $100,000 dollar bail immediately. Two questions remain: Will Lindsay Lohan serve real jail time, and will she continue her self-destructive tendencies?
Lohan’s Hollywood career lies in tatters. Other than a role as a blonde, sexually eager junkie (Lohan appearing topless in a partial nude scene was actually somewhat anti-climactic), Lindsay Lohan has not worked in movies.
Scarlett Johansson’s Nude Photos Make the News
Sep 17th
In September of 2011, Scarlett Johansson’s name appeared in the news as two embarassing pictures of her appeared on the internet. These two nude photos of Scarlett Johansson caused quite a stir in the blogosphere, prompting Scarlett Johansson to order her lawyers to contact websites that posted the photos and give them a cease and desist order and to take the nude photos of Scarlett Johansson down. Both photos appear to have been taken by Scarlett Johansson herself, one shows her shooting the picture over her shoulder in a mirror, with her nude backside revealed. The other picture shows Scarlett Johansson reclining, with her arm extended (holding her cell phone), and the resulting nude photo shows Scarlett Johansson’s right breast. Johansson said that the photos were intended for her husband at the time, Ryan Reynolds, and were not for public consumption.
