Butt naked

Watch the fur - and pubic hair - fly when Hollywood films The Naked Man. In a twist on the Emperor's New Clothes, a chap from Los Angeles loses his garments and has to walk in the buff from LA's Venice Beach to Hollywood. Pretentious media junkies think it's art and decide they must be in the hallowed presence of a big-time celebrity. Great idea, although it remains to be seen whether the filming is, er , "up-front". Rumoured to be in the director's seat, none other than Betty Thomas, who made Private Parts. Naturally.
