Given the fact that we were all treated to the sight of him pissing into houseplant on that VH1 reality show a few years ago, we guess this had to happen eventually: Famous tiny person Verne Troyer, best known to audience until this point as Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies, has gone and made himself his very own sex tape. (Yes kids, even dwarves make bad decisions sometimes.) SugarDVD has reportedly offered $100,000 for the tape—but unless they get Troyer's consent, none of us will get to see just how else Verne likes to get freaky. While you're (not) waiting to see how it all pans out, we invite you to watch this alternate reality version of how things might look. We know it's not the real thing, but it's the closest we could find for now ... and maybe the closest you'll ever want to get.

Color film was invented about 400 years ago (give or take), yet some photographers and filmmakers still stubbornly continue to use black and white to capture their subjects. Why is that? Well, people still listen to records on vinyl and look at dusty old paintings in museums—so why not use an antiquated technology to depict beautiful women too? Silver Beauties (alas, it's not a site for 60-and-over pornstars) certainly thinks that way and if you're looking for sexy photos of the world's most gorgeous women you'll find them here—as long as they're in black and white. The portfolios on view include nude and lingerie shots of actresses, models, and a bunch of international babes you probably haven't heard of, all free for your browsing pleasure. And just think: if you're color blind, you won't even know the difference!

These days it seems like it would only be news if a reality show managed to put together a cast that did not include at least one pornstar. We don't know what it is about the genre that attracts people who are prone to taking their clothes off on camera—perhaps it's the opportunity to take your clothes off on camera?—but whether they started with a youthful indiscretion to pay the rent or parlayed their TV fame into a Playboy pictorial, it's the stars of MTV's "The Real World" who are still the exhibitionist champs. This helpful field guide takes at look at the best and the "brightest" of that universe's stars (guys and girls) who revealed a lot more than basic cable can provide. And there are a lot of them, so you better have a seat.
