Kim Kardashian Sorry for Did Playboy, but We Don't


Kim Kardashian regrets posing nude for Playboy magazine, insisting the experience left her feeling "uncomfortable".

At first, this socialite agreed to did a pictorial in the magazine, but without full nudity. After took the advice from her mother, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian undressed for a special 12-page pictorial in December 2007. Now, the 29-year-old actress wishes she'd never stripped off for Playboy boss Hugh Hefner.

She tells Harper's Bazaar magazine, "I'm sorry I did Playboy. I was uncomfortable. My mom said, 'Go for it. They might never ask you again. Our show isn't on the air yet. No one knows who you are. Do it and you'll have these beautiful pictures to look at when you're my age.'"

Kim Kardashian might felt sorry because she already famous right now. The funny thing is, she bared it all one more time recently, for Harper Bazaar magazine. I hope her "uncomfortable" feeling won't last long, so she will keep doing this kind of pictorials.

Blind guitar legend dies

Canadian guitarist Jeff Healey died on March 2nd at the age of 41 after a life long battle with cancer. Blind since the age of 1 from a rare form of retinal cancer known as Retinoblastoma, Jeff taught himself to play with an unusual style of laying the guitar across his lap.

Known as a musical prodigy since his teens, he shared the stage with Stevie Ray Vaughn, George Harrison and B.B. King to mention a few. You can also see Jeff's playing on YouTube and in the 1989 movie "Roadhouse" starring Patrick Swayze.

His unorthodox technique gave him the advantage of pulling the strings toward him when bending and his fierce string bending and vibrato technique was a trademark of his hard hitting blues/rock sound. In recent years, his music had turned toward jazz (his first love) and that style dominated his past three albums. His first rock album in eight years "Mess of Blues" will be released in the USA on April 22nd.
