Lindsay Lohan is not one to avoid contradictions. The Mean Girls star certainly looked comfortable showing skin at the launch party for Vida, “the world’s most fashionable luxury pleasure object” (read: “fancy vibrator”), in LA last night. Ironically, the Mirror claims the braless beauty was deeply concerned about the potential release of a sex tape. “A 47-second tape of Lilo frolicking in the buff with a mystery male is currently being touted around LA,” said the tabloid. The owner, “a waiter with a well-known chain restaurant” (mull that one over for a second), allegedly tried to sell it to Hustler, who then recommended he try an “offshore porn site” that doesn’t have to worry about legal issues.

While it’s hard to imagine how such a clip would hurt the career of anyone wearing a fedora to a sex toy party, the Brit paper’s insider says Lohan isn’t taking the news well. “Lindsay was desperate to start 2010 off on a good footing and this is the very last thing she needs…She is devastated—particularly as she is working hard on cleaning up her act…It is fair to say that Lindsay has had a pretty torrid past 24 hours.” Sure, but it’s also fair to say Lindsay’s had a pretty torrid past 24 years. She’ll be all right.

Among the Vida revelers sharing that torrid time with Lindsay last night were Robin Thicke and Carmen Electra. Check out photos from the red carpet in the gallery below.

Why would Carmen Electra attend a bikini birthday party…but never take off her dress? Electra danced in her skivvies on Dancing With The Stars only two weeks ago, so it’s surprising she wouldn’t show off the goods yesterday in Las Vegas—unless she’s worried about showing too much. And why was fiancee Rob Patterson always touching her tummy? Even if she’s not pregnant—the kid would be her first—she shouldn’t be surprised that we’re asking.

Move over Carmen Electra! You aren’t the only Playboy model who can shake her thang and get freaky on a stripper pole.

Kendra Wilkinson is starting her own line of stripper paraphernalia. “I’m coming out with my own stripper pole. Stripper pole, and stripper pole workout. It’s like Carmen Electra’s, but mine is better. Mine will connect to the ceiling and you can spin on it and do all that stuff on it,” the Girl Next Door says.

She should send one over to the Octomom!

While not grinding on that pole Kendra is busy filming her new E! reality show and gearing up for her June 27th wedding to Hank Baskett.

“She’s more nervous than excited,” Kendra says of her mom, who is having a hard time letting go of her little Girl Next Door. “I don’t think she believes I’m going to get married until the day. I think she doesn’t want to lose me.” [Source: Us Weekly; Photo: WENN]

When celebrities get engaged, it’s all about love - yeah right! When stars decide to get hitched, everyone will be looking at the engagement ring, so it better be a good one!

Former “Baywatch” babe Carmen Electra knows how to get sexy for the camera, and last night was no exception. Carmen introduced cover band The Chelsea Girls at the Roxy in Hollywood last night and then busted on stage halfway through the show to shake and jiggle that thang while the girls played. Check out our gallery of Carmen rocking it out and showing off her best assets. [Photo: Getty Images]

From the first issue with Marilyn Monroe on the cover, Playboy magazine has featured the world’s most beautiful ladies for 55 years. This January, Playboy releases its 55th anniversary issue, celebrating over half a decade of nudity. From Brigitte Bardot to Carmen Electra to Bettie Page to the Girls Next Door, hundreds of gorgeous ladies have ripped their clothes off and flung themselves in front of the camera for Hugh Hefner. Check out our gallery of some of Scandalist’s favorites! [Photo: Playboy]

Carmen Electra has a smoking hot layout in Playboy coming out in their 55th anniversary issue in January, but the hotness doesn’t stop there. Carmen appeared as a Celebrity Bunny Dealer at the Playboy Club inside the Fantasy Tower at the Palms Casino Resort on Saturday night. The former Baywatch babe sported the bunny costume, designed by celebrity designer Roberto Cavalli. Although Carmen looked super sexy, the boys stayed away, as Carmen’s fiance Rob Patterson didn’t leave her side during the evening. [Photo: Denise Truscello]

Although this is her fifth time posing for Playboy, Carmen Electra naked never gets boring. The Baywatch babe, covergirl and former lady love of Dennis Rodman and rock wife of Dave Navarro keeps it hot in the magazine’s 55th anniversary issue. At 36, Carmen bares all thirteen years after her first Playboy appearance. Check out a sneak peak at Carmen’s red hot layout for Playboy! [Source, Photos: Playboy]

Kim Kardashian may be approaching 30 and Mariah Carey’s almost 40, but they’re seeking attention like teenage girls in heat. This Halloween, skanky costumes rule.

Last night in Los Angeles, Kim showed up to her own celebration dressed as Wonder Woman — only with 20 pounds more ass, boobs and makeup. Mimi rocked two costumes at her party with hubby Nick Cannon, starting the night as some kind of nymphomaniac firefighter and ending it as a box of cookies waiting to be devoured. Wouldn’t it have been easier for both of them to just dress as skanks and be done with it? Or maybe they should have worn nothing at all like Ice-T’s curvaceous wife Coco. (Ice, invite us next time!)

But not everyone aimed to show skin this Halloween. Mickey Rourke, who looked like a drunken gay biker, deserves an award for Halloween’s Most F*cked-Up Looking Celebrity. Sadly, Kate Moss and actress Taryn Manning could be the runners-up for that award. Marilyn Manson wore the most simple and (surprise!) shocking outfit by hanging an “AIDS” sign around his neck. On a positive note, Pink and Seal both wore outfits that totally rocked.

Looks like Madge and her Material husband are no more. After years of rumors as to the unhappiness of the pair, Madge’s “affair of the heart” this summer with Yankee Alex Rodriguez, and the fact that Madonna’s been everywhere but her adopted home of London using that fake accent of hers, we’ve been pretty sure trouble’s been brewing for a while. But the pair stuck it out for eight years, which is a lot longer than most celebrity couples stay married.

In the gallery below, we’ve put together some of the all-time shortest celebrity marriages. From Britney’s Vegas quickie to Barrymore’s bar nuptials, these folks have proven they *are* just like us, by making really dumb mistakes. From those that were hitched for hours to months, find out which of your favorite celebs said “I do,” only to have their lawyers tell them they didn’t.
