15 Hottest Actresses Busted With Erect Nipples
Packing tic tacs, smuggling peanuts, flashing high beams, pimping wingnuts – there are many names for this common yet captivating phenomenon. When a woman has prominently erect nipples clearly visible through her clothing, the room takes notice – whether with a stifled snigger or a lascivious leer. And when those women are actresses – babes with some of the hottest chassis on the planet – the whole world stops and stares. And who can blame us? We wonder whey these lovely ladies don’t take preventative action – but then that’d be spoiling the fun. Here are 15 of the best pokies on the planet.
15. Alicia Silverstone
With norks as noticeable as those little numbers it’s only natural Alicia Silverstone should have found she has a proclivity for packing peanuts. The former Batgirl is clearly pretty clueless when it comes to buying bras. Holy high beams, Batman!
14. Cameron Diaz
It’s Cameron cradling what’s near to her heart while looking almost as awestruck as Jay Leno’s studio audience. Perhaps the Hollywood star caught a glimpse of herself in one of the studio monitors. Still, she was asking for trouble wearing that blouse.
13. Drew Barrymore
What to do with you, Drew? The onetime wild child has said of breasts, “Men love them, and I love that,” and she once bared hers to David Letterman while on his show. If her nips then were anything like they are here, he’s lucky she didn’t blind him.
12. Mischa Barton
Mischa Barton’s here snapped walking down the aisle in a West Hollywood supermarket. What are you looking for, Mischa? You’ve already packing all the frozen peas you need. Perhaps the former O.C. star forgot where she put them.
11. Heather Graham
Here’s Heather Graham hoping we’re not noticing her hard nipples. Sorry Heather, gorgeous though your eyes are, it’s not our style. Heather’s no stranger to saucy roles, but this matches anything even Felicity Shagwell or Rollergirl could muster.
10. Alyson Hannigan
Gee whiz, Alyson, you’d better take out third-party insurance with that pair in your possession! The naturally flame-haired Buffy star may have made her name helping to vanquish vampires but she too could cause a fright with nips like these.
9. Julia Stiles
Next it’s Julia Stiles unintentionally pushing our buttons – by making us want to push hers. Either or both. The Bourne series star may have been born for the stage and silver screen but she’s also a natural in the art of putting pokies on show.
8. Pamela Anderson
Pammy once called her enlarged breasts “Pancho and Lefty”, and both of the boys are complicit in this case of thimbles on parade. Breasts implants clearly haven’t impacted on the ex-Baywatch star’s capacity to keep her nips on red alert.
7. Jessica Simpson
America’s favorite cow gal Jessica S shows she can cut it when engorged nips are needed just as she can when acting skills are called for (scratch the last part!). Or maybe she misplaced two of Boss Hog’s cigar butts while getting into her role as Daisy Duke.
6. Kelly Brook
Is the water just cold or is Kelly Brook pleased to see us? The sexy British centerfold isn’t renowned for her acting work, 2010’s Piranha 3-D notwithstanding, but it’s not only carnivorous fish that’d be tempted by a quick nibble on those.
5. Jennifer Lopez
J-Lo, she of the peachy rear, here puts her pert pappas through their paces by seeing if they can handle the Latin heat of a spot of peanut smuggling – in front of the waiting cameras too. How did they fare, customs officers? Three words: Out. Of. Sight.
4. Alyssa Milano
It’s sultry brunette Alyssa Milano flaunting some JCB starter buttons together with the boys. At least she looks happy about it. The former star of Who’s the Boss? has certainly charmed us and surely couldn’t remain romantically challenged for long.
3. Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba may have wished she really was the Invisible Woman when this shot was taken. Do we detect a hint of embarrassment in smile? Whatever. All her male fans wish they were Mr Fantastic, with the power to elongate their arms from wherever they’re taking in the view…
2. Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts is known as a serious actress, having starred in such quality fare as 21 Grams and King Kong, but more evident here is the seriously turned on state of her high beams – and as they say: “The larger the protrusion the brighter the beam.”
1. Jennifer Anniston
We’ll be honest – we were spoilt for choice with pics of Jennifer A sporting protruding nips. Here she is threatening to poke someone’s eye out on the set of The Bounty Hunter. Frozen peas in the Big Apple. A fruit and veggie store in the making.

11 Trends in Web Logo Design - Fall 2010
11 Trends in Web Logo Design: The Good, the Bad and the Overused
In this article, we’ve identified 11 trends in web company logo design. Hopefully, you’ll see a few here that apply to the startups and web apps we write about every day. And of course, we’ve included some handy illustrations as a sort of field guide to the logos of the web.
Take a look, and let us know what you think of these trends — and what trends we should have included — in the comments.
1. Badges and Buttons
We’ve moved away from the once-ubiquitious BETA! button, but location-esque badges, app-like icons, and “play” buttons are still showing up all over the web. These logos tend to be quite “shiny,” thanks to a few carefully-blended white gradient layers. The square logos have rounded corners. Some appear to glow as if lit from within, which is a compelling and trendy effect in itself. All in all, the badge-and-button set look quite touchable.
Still, this trend’s days may be numbered, if only due to overuse and association-bordering-on-marriage with the Apple/iPhone brand. See also: Wet floor effect. Unless you’re designing for a pure-play iPhone app shop, sail these seas with caution.
2. Speech Bubbles and Megaphones
If social web apps are all about communication, then it stands to reason that many social web company logos are all about talking. We see fewer logos that revolve around listening (if you happen to see a giant ear logo in the wild, do let us know), but megaphones and speech bubbles abound.
3. Fun With Opacity!
Remember the first time you discovered Multiply and Overlay blend modes in Photoshop? If that moment changed your life forever, then you probably understand the beauty of a simple, elegant logo that delicately plays with opacity.
While this logo treatment won’t work for every web app, it’s a versatile and timeless way to present classic shapes in a new light. We’re seeing this basic effect used simply in MasterCard-reminiscent designs, and we’re seeing much more complex opacity effects used in logos for HTML5 and Microsoft Silverlight, for example.
Playing with blending modes, opacity and overlapping shapes can also be a fun way to experiment with analogous color schemes.
4. Kawaii Illustration
Calling all woodland creatures: You’re wanted on the Internet. In fact, the only time you’ve been in greater demand than you are now was when Disney was making those saccharine “princess” films.
Why are these wide-eyed, adorable critters making their way into logo design? Apps are for adults, right? Especially apps such as Seesmic, a powerful web app dashboard for power users and the enterprise, and GitHub, an industry standard for source code hosting.
We don’t know exactly how, when or why kawaii made a comeback into serious-business logo design, but with logos this cute, who are we to complain?
5. Scripts, Slabs and Other Cool Fonts
Say it with me: “I will not use Archer for a web company’s logo design.”
Archer and its ilk were used to great effect over the past couple years on a number of memorable web company logos. That being said, the Year of the Slab is definitely not over. In fact, it’s more of an epoch than a traditional Gregorian year at this point. Slab serif fonts — if they’re unique fonts — are still a viable alternative to been-there-done-that sans serifs in logos, and the web community still enjoys them.
That being said, a good, juicy script can be one of the liveliest, most unexpected logo choices yet, particularly if your logo is solely typographic. Rephoria uses my personal favorite, Candy Script, a swash-heavy number that’s almost too voluptuous for work but which still makes the cut for a single-word logo.
Just remember: When using more unusual fonts for logo design, restraint and legibility are key.
6. Verdant and Plant-Inspired
Plants and leaves aren’t just for green tech companies, folks. When you’re trying to project growth, one of the most obvious logo choices is flora. A shy set of leaves, a furling bud, a sprouting seed — what could better convey your company’s fresh problem solving and rapid expansion?
7. Quadrangles
It’s not a rectangle, it’s not a square, but whatever it is, it’s popping up everywhere. Quadrangles are, if the web is to be believed, the new dots. From rhombuses to parallelograms to indescribable yet angular blobs, these shapes strive for post-modern and consumer-friendly.
8. Retro Game References
Perhaps it’s because the newer crop of web designers are also children of the late eighties, but we’ve been seeing a lot of pseudo-retro, video game-inspired logo work lately. While these designs are definitely quirky, geeky and cool, beware using them for a general audience; not everyone feels the same nostalgia we do for an 8-bit, pixelated graphic of a mushroom.
9. Color-Coordinated Compound Words
Web startup names and logos are inextricably linked. We’re a couple years past the compound word phase (which was most virulent right before the tragic “missing vowel” phase that gave birth to web companies with names like “Packg” and “Clevrr”), but we haven’t left behind our love for merged-word logos in two snappy, coordinating colors.
This trick is one of the oldest in the book. It was notably used for Vignelli Associates’ 1967 rebranding of American Airlines, whose two-word name became a one-word logo in red and blue.
10. Logotypes
The big boys of the web, sites such as Google and Facebook, have inspired the logo design of a generation with their utter simplicity. In many cases, those initial logotypes were less legitimate logo design and more “put our startup’s name in a simple font and stick it up on the web, we’ll deal with branding later.”
The name-in-a-sans-serif look says your company has nothing to prove and that you focus on product over promotion. If it’s well-executed, it’s a powerful statement to make. However, if poorly executed, it looks hasty, sloppy, juvenile and amateurish.
Logotypes can also be a great excuse to play with exciting typefaces and trendy treatments, such as the embossed or letterpress look that’s getting so much play these days, thanks to CSS3.
11. Nodes, Spokes and Hubs
Between concepts such as linked data and the synaptic web, you had to see these designs coming. They remind us of molecular structure and K’nex, an updated take on the crop of mid-century modern Sputnik-inspired designs of the 1950s. These logos are usually intended to represent the interconnectedness of people and content on the web, or, in a more literal interpretation, computer hardware circuitry.
An excellent study of this concept is Bernard Barry’s designs for the 2010 f8 conference.
