Point and shoot

On a lighter -- and sexier -- note, New York Magazine's website notes that Spike Lee, Mike Figgis, Neil LaBute, and Kevin Smith will direct photo shoots for Playboy's 50th anniversary issue.

"But it’s not the first time that directors have taken the bunny dollar. For the January ’78 issue, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Louis Malle directed shoots that 'illustrated what they thought was erotic,' says a company mouthpiece, who adds that Hugh Hefner wasn’t involved with the project: 'He only deals with the Playmates.'"
