The City of Ashland, Oregon, long known for its artsy image, has changed its nudity laws.

On Tuesday night, the Ashland City Council adopted a citywide ban on public nudity.

The city had already banned the display of genitals in parks and in downtown. Tuesday’s decision to expand the ban brought a threat of legal action from the American Civil Liberties Union, which says it violates the Oregon Constitution’s protection of free expression.

The nudity issue arose in 2008, when a woman dubbed “the naked lady” started bicycling around this Southern Oregon town wearing only a G-string. More complaints came last summer, when a retired computer programmer visiting the city took nude strolls near an elementary school. A vacationer from Minnesota exposed himself in October.

City councilors reportedly had the option to limit nudity, but decided to outlaw it altogether.

Public nudity bans have been tested in court to hold up. In 1985, the Oregon Court of Appeals upheld Portland’s ban on public nudity. However, the court also ruled that public nudity can be a protected form of expression, such as during a protest.

An eastern Pennsylvania teacher’s aide has resigned after a nude photo of her circulated among students.

Bangor Area School District board member Ron Angle says the unidentified high school aide resigned after district officials asked her to step down Wednesday.

Angle says the aide left her phone unattended at a social function outside of school when someone found the phone and sent out the photo.

Bangor Superintendent John Reinhart says the district learned the lurid photo was being circulated among students on Tuesday. He says the district sent a recorded message to parents asking them to check students’ phones for the image.

Bangor is about 60 miles north of Philadelphia.

Jamie Junger: Another who kisses and tells

Jamie Jungers, one of the many Barbie blonds claiming to be one of golfer Tiger Woods’ mistresses, suggests she may also have nude photos of her man.

That may be more information than we want to know.

Some even suggest there is a sex video or two floating around.

It may be something that some want to see.

But you won’t see them here. Seeing Tiger in the buff isn’t high on our list of holiday wishes. Neither is a video of him porking one of his bimbos.

Tiger screwed up (so to speak). He’s fallen from grace.

He did some screwing.

Now he will get screwed.

Enough said.

No, this is not Vanessa Hudgens (but we wish it was)

Vanessa Hudgens, the High School Musical star who got into hot water once before when a naked photo of her showed up on the Web, is suing a web site because more it published more nudies of her taken with a cellphone.

Hudgens says the photos were for for private use only and the web site had no right to publish them. She’s registered the images with the U.S. copyright office. Maybe if she really wanted to stay out of trouble she should stay in her clothes when there’s a camera (or cell phone) around.

Yep, that’s cute, pert teen-aged Emma Watson of Harry Potter movie fame flashing a bit of nipple recently at the beach.

Emma is flashing a lot these days. She gave television viewers a glimpse of bikini panty recently on the David Letterman show and showed off a pair of see-throughs while out celebrating her 18th birthday.

The crotch shot shows that young Emma is a natural brunette and does not share the current passion of many young women of getting rid of the hair down there.

Watson, who currently a student at Brown University, has a boyfriend and — apparently — a new found sense of liberation.

Like many teenagers she is showing a sense of rebellion or is it an old-fashioned fascination with being sexy.

Whatever it is, it is getting a lot of attention.
