Two things of note from GQ magazine, (both of which can be seen online) First: Is 30-year-old happily married man Robin Thicke about to spank 19-year-old songbird Rihanna? And are we prudes, or is this kind of inappropriate as well? Second: The GQ "Obsession Of The Year" is 18-year-old Hayden Panettiere, shown in a Lolita-esque swimsuit pose. [GQ]

uh oh, is paula patton gonna have to cut a bitch?
Are they doing a song together? I could see this as being part of the job as promoting...but if not, what the hell? He got some splainin to do.
Thicke rolls with Fiddy and other asshats so I'm not surprised. But what happened to the girl's shoe?
gross. rihanna is so hot though.
It freaks me out that both of those girls are younger than me.
I want Rihanna's legs though.
ewwwww
@Andalucía: That is so what I want to know. And I am so torn about Hayden Panettiere since she's out there not getting drunk and acting the fool, but at the same time she's not necessarily an awesome role model to girls her age and younger since she's so sexualixed and wears Laboutins on airplanes. Can't we get someone under the age of 25 who doesn't look like a barbie and doesn't do drugs out there? Please? Am I forgetting someone?
Where is her other shoe?
@Andalucía: And WTF is up with his shoes. They're just plain wrong.
Robin Thicke is 30!? He looks like he's in his first semester of college and trying to grow his first mustache.
@bess marvin, girl detective: @taylay: OMG Paula Patton is smokin'.
Oh, and that photoshoot looks hella cheap. Like, oh let's do it here in the lobby...with a polaroid camera.
You do know who was the Obsession of the Year last year? LiLo herself. Doesn't bode well for Miss P.
And WTF is their demographic? I used to think it was 25-45 but now I'm thinking 18-25. Are they turning into Maxim?
@badmutha: Is GQ turning its back on the gays? Why can't the Obsession of the year be an 18 year old boy? And why can't Alan, oh sorry I meant *Robin* Thicke spank, say, that kid from High School Musical. That would make me so happy.
You remember a few years ago when the holiday cover was Cindy Crawford in a bikini shaving K.D. Lang?
Those Robin Thicke/Rhianna photos get even more inappropriate as you go through the slide show.
Ok, maybe it was like 20 years ago....
@RetroChristal: I was just wondering why he was rocking that pervstache - with those puppydog faces he's making it makes him look even skeevier than usual. (I am going to stop posting now, I swear. It's all that espresso I had two seconds ago.)
@badmutha: That was Vanity Fair. Not like I still have my copy or anything :::sigh::::
those pics look pretty cheap and silly. It's just marketing, methinks. Oh! A white dude spanking a black chick..... how avant-garde.
In 1967.
@badmutha: Please Hayden is not nearly as pretty as Lindsay.
That being said, that picture kinda irritates me.
@ShanaElmsford: you're right, the ones posted here aren't even the worst ones. those pictures just make me feel dirty all over.
Whoa, did you see the second Hayden Panislutti one? All schoolgirl and shit. Gross.
seth rogen pictures! i want to kiss those chins.
@solaana: What I can't stand is how normal it is for grown men to lust after an damn 18 year-old, especially one that still sports a cherubic face. On the good, under-25 role model front: uh, I can't think of one whose popular. Only the asshats get press.
@AmazonRedheadedUberVixen: Yes, those shoes belong with a velour suit. It's such a fashion tease. From the ankle up it's, "Look I'm a man" and the shoes are, like, "Sike!"
The pics are really awful. Thicke just looks creepy and Rihanna looks even more like a extraterrestrial.
@Andalucía: *who's* instead of "whose."
Typos are, like, my damn signature now.
Ok, I can do without the Hayden-in-the-nightie one.
But the red bathing suit is smokin hot. I want it.
The Robin Thicke/Rihanna shoot is actually relatively classy by Terry Richardson's usual standards.
that thicke/rihanna spread is irksome, but what stands out the most is the lack of chemistry...
@BAngieB: You are out of your mind. Fully and completely.
Both of those photo shoots are weird. But I'm glad to find out Rihanna is 19, because when I thought she was 17 I was totally disgusted by her videos. Now I'm only slightly skeeved.
I like Hayden because even though she's a skinny little blonde girl, she's skinny in an athletic way and she's getting in trouble for protesting killing dolphins instead of flunking out of rehab.
@the memorexe: Rihanna looks like she is the only one alive/not robotic in those pics. And even she is lacking something here. (Not always, just here!)
@bess marvin, girl detective: Word. If it weren't for the "my wife is gonna kill me" look on Robin's face, I'd be mad at him.
Rihanna creeps me out bigtime--the first time I saw the Umbrella vid she just seemed like a robotic blowup doll and I've never gotten over her soulless posability.
Two Words on Hayden:
DO.WANT.
Friends have experienced Hayden up close. They love her wicked sens of humor and lingering baby fat, but predict a Lohan-style downward spiral within three years. Here's hoping the WGA is back in action soon!
Hayden with a hula hoop in a ruffled bikini bottom and bra....Hayden in a babydoll nightie with a teddy bear, winking at the camera.
Ugh...normally I'm just depressed b/c I think, "This is my ideal? This is what I have to compete with?"
Now it's just, "Are they actually CELEBRATING and patting themselves on the back on how creepy the 'obsession' is?" Exaggerating Hayden's, "Hey...she was a minor six months ago! Mmmmm, mmmm!" What the f*ck?
What can we expect...either we are an unbearably (and when you think of the silence surrounding birth control and STDs and sex-ed, fatally) moralistic, prudish, "think of the children" obsessed country, or else our market loves, loves, loves barely legal (or straight jailbait) ass. They don't just love it--they giggle with pride about it.
Ooooh, God does it suck being a girl sometimes.
who the hell is robin thicke and why do he and rihanna look bored shitless?
actually, the bored shitless just rubbed off on me, i don't need to know...
Geez,
Color me prude, but what the hell is wrong with Robin & Rihanna's spread? Of course RiRi looks like Total Barbarellaesque BIG FOREHEAD pinup doll, but still hot!
Hayden on the other hand is a bit pervy with the teddy bear and hoola hoop seeing that she is so childlike.
In reality, they are adults and let's face it, in most countries, 15 and 16 year olds are bangin, having kids and leading their lives. At least they are legal..
I'm convinced they put Hayden Panettiere back in her cheerleader uniform for most of the latest Heroes episode because her character is just "the cheerleader" to most viewers. But yeah, WTF with the fake kiddie porn?
Robin Thicke definitely made out with one of my friends earlier this year. So maybe just "happily married" for a celebrity, he might as well spank the hot chick.
@marie123: God, I didn't even bother to look at those "Isn't pedophilia great?" photos. All those photos do is justify girls--children--as legitimate sexual partners for adults. To put it bluntly: they glamorize child rape. Seriously. A teddy bear?! C'mon! And the status quo is no excuse (for those who scream, "But, it's always been this way!")
What chance do girls have when there's not only a multi-billion dollar black market that documents and sells the brutal raping of children (overwhelmingly girls), instructing its consumers how to groom and attack children, and a general society that reinforces the message that pedophilia is "sexy?"
@Ship_GWB_To_BAGHDAD: I agree that teenagers have sex...but should women be told, "You only have sexual worth if WE get to be adults, and you are physically (and psychologically) much much younger?"
"Younger" here means an eighteen year old girl and a photography who winkingly approves straight-up pedophilia. As a matter of fact, the "barely legal" fetish seems to idealize indicators of CHILDREN, not "teens"...making eighteen year olds wear babydoll baby-pink nighties, suck Lolita-esque lollipops, wear ruffles and pig-tails...
At best it's misogynistic and tells women that once they hit 20-something, or are not a a size 2 with C cups--just like the idealized teenage girl, with her wrinkle-free face, perky tits and 25-inch waist--they are sexually worthless. (HOW old is the GQ readership?)
This is much, much worse. So, so f*cked up....the bathing suit pic was bad enough.
@Andalucía: Glad I'm not alone...it's so depressing. Sometimes I think I must be crazy, b/c we yell and scream so much about the bogeyman in the bushes stalking our kids (when it's usually someone the kid knows...that's another story)....and then we celebrate bullshit like this.
Again...it SUCKS being a girl sometimes. Really, really does. At least a straight girl. (Yeah, b/c being gay in this country is so much easier!)
@marie123: Yup. Fully sanctioned pedophilia if the girl is technically 18, albeit looks 15. Disgusting.
And goddman Robin Thicke is a good looking boy.
@Pope John Peeps II: What?! Why are you talking ugly to me?
@foree: Natalie Portman. I heart her. Julia Stiles is pretty chill also. But again, smart, beautiful, in control of themselves women don't sell US Weekly.
I see no difference btwn Robin cuddling RiRi on a bed & a married actor kissing a hot starlet in a movie.
But if he's making out in public with s/one other than his wife then WHOA,he's got problems.
@BAngieB: You think crazy drunk fake boobs rehab coke snort bleachey hair shitball actress lohan is even in the same ballpark as the gorgeous HP?
@Pope John Peeps II: Oh no he did unt!
@Titania: Not surprised. At all. It's the fame. Cootchie flying at him 24/7. What straight man could resist all that free poon?
but man, is he gonna put out the BOMB album when she finally leaves him...
eh, i liked HP's interview
@badmutha: GQ is hurting me. It's been the only men's magazine for actual grown-up men for awhile now. Details is just too gay to function, Esquire is for guys in menopause and Maxim is for boys to wussy to buy real porn.
@Pope John Peeps II: You're not alone. I don't get the HP love either. She's just not that pretty. LiLo may be a trainwreck, but even that mug shot looked good and her redhead prime...please. There's no comparison. This is, sadly, biology at work. Animal hardwiring dictates that males are attracted to the young stuff. But GQ used to have standards...
UGH!! TH
UGH!! THEY AIRBRUSHED THE FUCK OUT OF HAYDEN'S THIGHS. AND HER NORMAL SIZED THIGHS WERE REALLY ONE OF THE THING I LIKED ABOUT HER. SERIOUSLY- FIRE WHOEVER DID THAT PICTURE BECAUSE NOBODY LOOKS LIKE THAT. YOU CAN'T SKIM DOWN A LADIES LEG TO TWO STRAIGHT STICKS.
Why didn't someone tell me this when I was 13...It took working at Victoria's Secret to understand what boobs really look like, and how spray shadows give those skeletors their full cups.
That singer may be 19, but she doesn't look like a teenager.
This is gross. Just gross.
