As we were happy to relay last week, Megan Fox was featured in the New York Times. She was described as “a student of stardom, past and present, who knows how to provide her own commentary, a narrative to go with the underwear.”

Now, the nation’s preeminent newspaper is focusing more on the underwear part, releasing numerous outtakes from its photo shoot with the mouthy movie star.

Hey, you might as well maximize the mileage you get out of this …

The New York Times may be on to something here.

As the worldwide decline of print journalism continues to take its toll on this and numerous other venerable publications, perhaps a paradigm shift is in order.

After all, what better way to sell newspapers than photos of Megan Fox, artistically featured in black and white of course, lifting her legs over her head. Gulp.

Michael Lohan was receiving money for securing paying gigs on behalf of Jon Gosselin, he says, a fact that could doom Jonny Boy in his legal battle with TLC.

Jon Gosselin entered into a business relationship with Hailey Glassman, Mike Heller and Michael Lohan to earn money, all in violation of his TLC contract.

Though unsigned, the contract led to Jon being paid for outside appearances that violated his TLC deal, Michael Lohan himself told the celeb gossip site.

The document and the payments Jon ended up getting could be a smoking gun in the breach of contract lawsuit brought against the father of eight by TLC.

According to the deal, “TR” is entitled to certain fees resulting from business transactions on behalf of Gosselin and then-girlfriend Hailey Glassman.

“I brought Jon to the table so I told Michael Heller we needed an agreement. He said no problem,” Lohan said, explaining the origin of the document.

Get ready to say BYE to a lot of money, Jon.

“We were representing him … I brought Jon Gosselin to Mike Heller, so Michael therefore had an obligation to pay me a percentage of what he made.”

TR is a joint venture of Lohan’s company and Mike Heller’s company. Heller never signed the deal after his dad Mark, Jon’s lawyer, advised him not to.

Regardless, in what is sure to be strong evidence for TLC, who subpoenaed Lohan, says he got paid for deals Jon made money from. Probably illegally.

Heller “was paying me all along, which basically proves I have a deal. Why was he paying me checks and giving my wife and my son checks?” Lohan said.

Lohan said some payments he got for helping get Jon gigs was in cash.

“A lot of it was cash, so I would imagine that there were a lot of things I wasn’t paid for too,” the father of Lindsay and Ali said. “We’re going to find out.”

The fact that a paper trail exists on side business deals may turn out to be strong evidence for TLC against Jon. The tool’s best shot, according to his million countersuit, is to claim his original deal is unreasonable. Stay tuned.

Tony Gonzalez plays tight end for the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL.

Now he and his wife are showing their own tight ends for PETA!

Well, actually they’re not. There’s no view of the backside of either. But Tony and October Gonzalez are nude in a new ad to advocate compassion for animals.

Gonzalez said, “We should protect animals, not to sacrifice their lives for fashion and luxury. October and I have changed many habits in light of the inhumane treatment animals endure not only in the fur industry, but on factory farms.”

Tony Gonzalez and wife October Gonzalez get naked for PETA.

“I changed my diet a few years of a diet based on plants,” the football star added. “And when you do and why you read it, and as useful in the treatment of animals. What happens with animals, the manufacturing industry is ridiculous.”

“We have a voice. That is why we have to do something like that.”

Tony and October Gonzalez join other celebrities the group has featured in the buff, namely Karina Smirnoff, Holly Madison, Amanda Beard nude and many more.

Dying to see Levi Johnston in Playgirl, hockey stick and all?

Then you better get ready to enter your credit card number.

The magazine is milking this thing for all it’s worth, telling visitors that they must JOIN NOW TO SEE LEVI JOHNSTON NUDE! Or, um, so we’ve heard.

Yeah, someone told us …

The bottom line? Despite massive hype, you won’t even see Levi Johnston nude … at least full-frontal style. We also don’t recommend going to Playgirl’s website.

Well, unless your idea of a good Saturday night is being inundated by pop-ups and pop-under ads featuring naked men, in which case, what are you still doing here?!

For your shirtless hunk fix, we suggest the new Twilight movie instead (check out our New Moon review). Taylor Lautner’s torso is basically the star of the thing.

Anyway, if you’re still interested, we’ve got some naked (and semi-naked) pictures from Levi’s Playgirl spread for you after the jump. Follow it if you must …
