Playmate of the Year Eugena Washington non-nude issues of Playboy

   LOS ANGELES –  Eugena Washington, the 2016 Playmate of the Year, is still in shock over her newest      feat.

“I am so excited; I literally don’t have the words right now. I’m kind of just taking it all in,” the bubbly model told FOX411 at the Playboy Mansion.

For the June 2016 cover, Washington is floating on a raft in the pool sipping a chilled drink. She said she was shocked to be named Playmate of the Year


“The people at Playboy called me in for 'an audition,'” she said. “I get there and no one is there and I go into a room where the audition is supposed to be and they say 'we really need to talk to you Eugena.' I was like ‘oh my God am I in trouble? What happened?’ They said congratulations you are Playmate of the Year!”

And working with Hugh Hefner is a dream come true for the 31-year-old model. 

“I think that Hugh was able to show women in a beautiful natural state,” she said. “You know sometimes when people think nudes they think trash, porn or slutty; but he was able to capture us in our essence and be elegant and beautiful and respectful and just classy. I think that definitely changed the way that people view nude shoots and things in America -- because sometimes we are very prude about that... Thank you Mr. Hefner for having that vision and bringing that to us.”  

Washington is the 57th Playmate of the Year and third African-American to be awarded the title. As part of her prize she is receiving $100,000 and a two-year lease on a 2017 Fiat Spider. 

Washington's honor comes shortly after Playboy revamped their image earlier this year. The magazine no longer includes fully nude shots, and Washington, for one, approves of the big change. 

“I love it. I have seen all the non-nude issues and I absolutely love it,” she said. “It’s absolutely necessary for the brand to continue right now when people are so exposed. It’s fun to leave something to the imagination, and right now we are in 1,200 more newsstands because we are more accessible because it is non-nude. I think it’s a great step in the right direction.”

The playmate said she does little to prepare for her shoots. 

“I just roll up. I don’t like to put too much pressure on myself or else I will stress out... I go in and trust myself to know what I’m doing and do my best and call it a day.”

She shared some words of wisdom for young girls. 


“I am a walking PSA for young girls,” she said with a laugh. “A lot of times right now there is a standard about what beauty is in social media and everyone is trying to follow that one standard and it’s not real. I feel like we are born perfect and we have to embrace that and if there is something you don’t like you can work on it but play up your great qualities and you are made like that for a reason and believe in your own magic.”

Fast & Furious 8 production heats up in Cuba

    (Instagram/Fast & Furious)




Fast & Furious 8
Posted May 6 2016 — 7:50 PM EDT

Where does a franchise that’s been to Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, London, and Abu Dhabi go next? If you’re Fast & Furious you go where no one else has gone – Cuba. 

Last week production kicked off in Cuba for Fast 8, the latest installment in the record-setting franchise, making it one of the first films to shoot in the country since the U.S. and Cuba began to repair diplomatic relations. 

A new video posted on the series’ official Twitter account documents some of the action going down in Cuba featuring franchise mainstays Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, as well as director F. Gary Gray, a newcomer to the series.

Undeniably a worldwide phenomenon — the previous seven movies have banked nearly $4 billion around the globe — the franchise seems to have made quite the impression in the island nation as fans line the streets to catch a glimpse of the action. The country’s culture also looks to be having quite an impact on the cars being featured, as sports cars are replaced by more antique-type Cuban vehicles.

Once wrapping in Cuba, production will continue on to New York and Atlanta. Fast 8, which will be released on April 14, 2017, is expected to be the first of a new trilogy according to star and producer Diesel. That means there is still plenty of time for Fast & Furious: Space Wars.

All About Angelina Jolie Pitt's New Partnership

If directing, acting, being married to Brad Pitt – and oh yeah, raising six kids – isn't enough, Angelina Jolie Pitt's schedule is getting even busier. 

The longtime Special Envoy for the UN Refugee Agency has been expanding her humanitarian work thanks to a partnership with two British foreign policy experts, Chloe Dalton and Arminka Helic, who she first collaborated with four years ago while working on the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, to end war zone rape. 

Since then, the trio have set up a partnership – called Jolie Pitt Dalton Helic – to work on issues ranging from women's rights to refugee issues, health, education, international justice, and violence against women. "We have been officially working together for a year and are very much looking forward to continuing our joint efforts on our shared international interests," Jolie Pitt tells PEOPLE. 


Bosnian-born Helic, who was a Special Adviser to former U.K. Foreign Minister William Hague, was made nominated to the House of Lords and named a Baroness in 2014. Dalton was most recently Special Adviser to the U.K. Foreign Secretary at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. 

Keep up with Angelina Jolie in the pages of PEOPLE Magazine by subscribing now.


Last month the three women visited the International Criminal Court in the Hague, where Helic is a member of the Board of Directors of the Trust Fund for Victims.

Ben Higgins & Lauren Bushnell Pack on the PDA Like It's Their Job

If you've been mourning in these quiet post-Bachelor months because you deeply miss the opportunity to watch Ben Higgins awkwardly kiss girls, we have two pieces of good news for you. First, you're not alone. Second, you're saved: Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell attended the iHeartCountry Festival over the weekend and awkwardly kissed their little hearts out.

To some, this looked like your run-of-the-mill honeymoon phase PDA. To others, it looked like a last-ditch effort to convince the world they're not actually on the verge of a breakup. 


To us, it just looked gross. In a loving kind of way.
As much as we believe their love to be real and pure (or, at least somewhat pure), it always sucks to have to read rumors about their impending breakup and their secret hatred for each other. 


So even if their PDA is a little bit gross, we'll take it -- any shred of evidence that they're still happy together is fine by us.

Singer Pia Mia follows in the footsteps of Zendaya and Kelly Osborne as she is named as the new face of Madonna and daughter Lourdes' Material Girl fashion line

.1 Pia Mia will star in the upcoming campaign and has signed on for 16 months, during which time she will also serve as Fashion Director

2 She is set to pose in the clothes and collaborate on the designs, starting with the Spring 2017 collection

3 Matieral Girl, sold at Macy's, was launched in 2010 by chart-topper Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon, 19

4 Past campaign stars have also included Sofia Richie, and Rita Ora

Things might be rocky between Madonna and son Rocco at the moment, but the 57-year-old pop star is making time to promote her newest Material Girl collection with her daughter, Lourdes Leon — and the brand has announced a new spokesmodel, too.
Singer Pia Mia, 19, is the latest face of the brand, which Madge and Lourdes, also 19, have been collaborating on since 2010.
In addition to posing for ads modeling several collections starting this season, the Guam-born singer will also 'bring her distinct perspective to the clothing as well as the overall voice of the brand', according to Women's Wear Daily. 

  Model moment: Pia Mia, 19, is the new face of Madonna's Macy's line, Material Girl

Involved: The singer has signed on for a 16-month gig with the inexpensive fashion brand

'Her creativity, confidence, and unique sense of style make her a perfect addition to the brand,' Madonna explained of the choice.
In the past, the Material Girl singer also hand-picked Kelly Osbourne, Zendaya, Rita Ora, and Nicole Richie's little sister Sofia to model the line — and they've all been equally excited about the flattering opportunity.
'The fact that Madonna chose me to do this literally makes me die,' said Mia, who will pose for the brand for the next 16 months.

'The Real Housewives of Dallas' Recap: LeeAnne Locken Slams Brandi Redmond's Parenting Skills, Says Her Daughters Won't Have 'Class'

Take it off! The Real Housewives of Dallas' Monday, April 25, episode kicked off with a “girls night out” featuring Stephanie Hollman and Brandi Redmond, whose husband was out of town for work. Brandi said of her best gal pal, “If Stephanie was a lesbian, I would definitely marry her.”

The pair were then joined by Cary Deuber, who admitted that Mark Deuber is her third husband. Brandi said to the camera, “The thought of three husbands makes me want to be a lesbian.” Two lesbian quips in a row — could same-sex jokes be the new poop jokes for this former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader?

After Cary met up with her pals, and a few drinks were imbibed, Stephanie suggested they head to a male strip club! As soon as they got there, Stephanie and Brandi were both greeted with a familiar hug by an employee. A shocked Cary said to the camera, “Oh, my God — are they regulars? ... I know owners of restaurants … not male strip clubs.” 

The girls continued to have a fun and wild night, with Brandi even getting on stage to show one of the male dancers how it’s done. The strip club announcer to Brandi over the mic, “If you’re on stage any longer, we’re gonna give you a job.” You go, girl!

LeeAnne Slams Brandi’s Parenting Skills

Tiffany Hendra showed up at LeeAnne Locken’s house for some good old-fashioned day drinking, Dallas-style (wine with ice cubes). Tiffany tried to put the poop-hat incident into perspective for her charity-obsessed friend, saying, “That was funny!” She went on to explain, “If this was L.A. or New York, people wouldn’t give a s--t.”

LeeAnne, however, stood her ground, insisting that Brandi’s irreverent headwear crossed the line. She even went on to slam the ex-cheerleader's parenting skills. “I feel sorry for her daughters 'cause I don’t know how those girls are gonna grow up. Won’t be with class,” said the self-proclaimed “carny kid” before she took a long sip from her glass of red wine with ice cubes in it.

Stephanie to Brandi: There’s No Shame in Your Male Strip-Club Game

Later on at Stephanie’s house, a melancholy Brandi revealed to Stephanie that her husband is upset with her over the strip-club night. Brandi said, “We used to party all the time, and now he gets upset when I do.” Stephanie insisted that her friend didn’t do anything wrong, adding, “Guys don’t understand that girls' versus guys' strip clubs are so different. It’s like 'NSync taking their clothes off and dancing.” If only it were actually Justin Timberlake and his pals, we’d watch THAT Magic Mike sequel!

Brandi Shows Her Vulnerable Side

Later on in the episode, we got to see a somewhat tense interaction between Brandi and her husband. Afterward, she told the camera in tears, “I don’t know what happened to us. We were high school sweethearts, and now I feel like I don’t even know him. It hurts to feel like you are giving someone all of you, and then you don’t feel it in return.”

   Cary Slams LeeAnne for Not Being a "Dallas Socialite"

LeeAnne decided it was important to invite Stephanie and Cary to lunch to warn them that fraternizing with the likes of Brandi could get them ostracized from the charity scene. LeeAnne kicked off the lunch by sharing print-outs of a local news blog that did a write-up on Brandi’s poop hat. Then in a choreographed move, LeeAnne pulled out a piece of fake poop and placed it on the table while saying, “S--t is not appropriate at charity events.”

Cary, who had just come out of performing surgery for seven hours, said to the camera, “She brought props and handouts to lunch? Are we seriously having a meeting about this right now? I have so many more important things to do.” Cary and LeeAnne then got into a bit of a yelling match, and Cary pointed out that it’s not “her place to defend her hat.”

LeeAnne explained, “The point is your reputation is who you are with.” Then in a bizarre move, LeeAnne tried to invoke age seniority, saying, “If I'm 10 years your senior, I deserve respect.” Cary responded by calling LeeAnne out point-blank, saying, “Why are you trying to act like this Dallas socialite? You have to be born into that.” LeeAnne left the table, saying with venom, “If you think this is a fight, you don’t even effin' know me, bitch.” Oh, snap! Looks like Cary and LeeAnne are in for some troubled waters.

Tell Us: Does LeeAnne need to let go of the poop-hat incident, or is this fight turning into something else entirely?

This awesome woman showed 'Kiss Cam' what true love really looks like

That's a girl after our own hearts.

"Kiss Cam": it's always an uncomfortable proposition for sporting fans.

Either you're greeted with cheers from fellow punters after being forcibly shamed into "romantically" PDA-ing your significant other, or you're being mercilessly booed because TV producers have made a horrible error and a whole stadium's urging you to make out with your childhood bestie or family member who accompanied you to the game or some random stranger who just happens to be seated beside you.

Sometimes though, you can choose to take back control - like this woman did, the new hero of the internet.

The fan, attending yesterday's Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics NBA playoff game, was seated behind a generic couple who were really going for it on the Kiss Cam.
