Looks like her natural beauty had a little help. Medical records and X-rays of Marilyn Monroe set to be sold at auction next month appear to show that screen icon had facial plastic surgery during her 1950s Hollywood career. The memorabilia, to go on the block Nov. 9-10 by Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, is expected to fetch anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000 and comes from her plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Gurdin, reports New York's Daily News. Gurdin gave the films and notes to a friend who has put them up for bid anonymously. They show that in 1950 Monroe, who saw doctors...

Today in the slightly creepy supercut world: Famous movie scenes featuring actresses getting out of pools and other bodies of water.
You can thank GuySpeed for the clip, which compiles everything from Phoebe Cates' topless poolside scene in 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" to Halle Berry in "Die Another Day" to Daryl Hannah in "Splash" and Marilyn Monroe in "Something's Got To Give."
Watch the clip above, but note that it's certainly not suitable for most offices (or perhaps even those with good taste).
Meanwhile, in an effort to keep the sexual exploitation of Hollywood's hottest on an equal-opportunity level, here's a little something for the ladies:...

Rare, nude images from screen legend Marilyn Monroe's final photoshoot have surfaced, 50 years after the raunchy pictures were taken.
Photographer Lawrence Schiller captured the iconic beauty posing naked by a swimming pool at Fox film studios on 23 May, 1962, during a shoot on the set of her film Something's Got To Give.
The stunning snaps see Monroe seductively staring in to the camera as her arms cover her bare chest, and later flashing her butt as she pulls on her dressing gown.
Schiller has never released the full collection of shots, but now he has finally shown them off for his new book Marilyn & Me.
The photographer, 75, says, "The photographs shows the real Marilyn Monroe teasing you, yet there is still a little mystery left. I was so unguarded that she became unguarded with me."
However, the film was never finished - the tardy and unreliable actress was fired in June, 1962 and she was tragically found dead in her Los Angeles home in August.

August 5 marks the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death. The actress, who was found dead in her home from acute barbiturate poisoning, continues to be remembered for her timeless beauty, charm and painful insecurity.
In her death, Monroe has become an icon and perhaps the best example of how Hollywood destroys its stars. In 1960, Lawrence Schiller (then known as Larry Wolf) photographed Monroe as she went for a swim in the pool -- and emerged naked.
In an adaptation of Schiller's soon-to-be released memoir, "Marilyn & Me", Vanity Fair reveals never before published photos from the star's last photo shoot. The images offer a peek into the friendship that developed between Schiller and Monroe while he photographed her in 1960 and 1962 on the sets of "Let's Make Love" and the unfinished feature "Something's Got to Give," the last film she worked on.

You may have noticed I'm Mad Men crazy this week. I'm just trying to cram it in before Sunday's premiere. I'll calm down Monday.
I'm so excited I'm about to grab one of the T-Shirts from the Mad Men shop on CafePress. I'm already having trouble choosing but they made it easier for me by denying me some of the designs in men's sizes. Excuse me but what if I want a "Mark Your Man" t-shirt with lipstick prints all over it? I mean, I might. I have been known to embrace the girlie. I think I might go for the "Who's For Dinner?" shirt because I love Ken Cosgrove (Aaron Staton). Nobody else loves Ken but I do not care. I will read any short story he wants me to.
Anyway CafePress is very excited about the premiere on Sunday as evidenced by this Mad Men blog post with...
