Now anyone (albeit some with a parent or guardian) can see Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

Kevin Smith has successfully appealed the Motion Picture Association of America's initial NC-17 rating for his upcoming salacious-sounding comedy, which stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as financially strapped roommates who try to dig themselves out of debt by making a homemade skin flick.

Smith reedited the film twice, each time receiving another NC-17, the box-office kiss of death that means no one under 17 is allowed in the theater.

It may not be Disney's first choice of sponsor for their brightest—albeit increasingly antsy—teen star, but teaming Miley Cyrus with a condom manufacturer may not be as ridiculous a notion as it might have been, say, six months ago.

In a shameless publicity grab (and yes, we bit), LifeStyles Condoms has offered the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star $1 million to become the newest purveyor of prophylactics and to become the company spokeswomangirl.

Dustin Diamond, the geek (below right) who loved playing Screech so much he went around for seconds and then made a sex tape (not really related, but had to be said), will be dictating a Saved by the Bell tell-all to a ghostwriter.

Does that make you so excited? If not, this juicy tidbit ought to:

According to New York Magazine, Behind the Bell (cute title, no?) will feature "sexual escapades among castmembers, drug use and hardcore partying.”

Why, those are three of our favorite things! This the best news we've heard since Beverly Hills 90210 was making a comeback.

Gossip Girl's lusty marketing minds have rolled out another series of steamy promos for the teen drama, this time craftily spotlighting nuggets of "praise" from the Parents Television Council ("Mind-Blowingly Inappropriate"), the Boston Herald ("Every Parent's Nightmare") and other outlets.

As with the show's other recent foray into shock-and-awe advertising, the campaign—meant to appeal to both our basest and our brightest (as in, our satire-appreciating) instincts—certainly fares well. And it obviously achieves the CW's No. 1 objective, which is to create buzz.

Admittedly, Serena, Blair, Nate and the rest are all played by fresh-faced 20-and-aboves (albeit none of whom would ever admit to having had as much sex in high school as their upper-crust characters) and none of the new spots proclaim "OMFG" but...

It's still a bunch of teens doin' it! Or about to do it. Or very obviously thinking about doin' it.

Check out just how far we've come from Brenda and Dylan's tender moment at the spring dance after the jump...

Kevin Smith's upcoming comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno, with Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen, may actually be a porno. No, seriously. The MPAA is trying to slap it with an NC-17 rating, meaning you'd have a tough time seeing it down at the megaplex.

So what's in this thing that makes it so, like, porny? We asked Seth, and here's what he said...

So much for capitalizing on the exposure.

Verne Troyer, best known for playing Dr. Evil's Mini-Me in the last two Austin Powers movies, filed a multimillion-dollar federal lawsuit Thursday against TMZ.com for posting snippets of a sex tape he made sometime over the last year with his then-girlfriend.

The 39-year-old actor says that TMZ disregarded cease-and-desist letters sent both before and after the video showed up on the site.

Move over Shirtless Matthew McConaughey because Shirtless Mario Lopez is taking your old shift as People Magazine's Hottest Bachelor. (Matt is technically not a bachelor anymore, considering that his girlfriend is about to give birth, though gossip reports say Shirtless Matty Mac may still be engaging in some singleton shenanigans.)

Justin Timberlake may be new to the acting game, but he's already making huge, diva-like demands. See, he plays Jacques "Le Coq" Grande in The Love Guru—a hockey player with a large, ahem, stick—and now he tells E! News he's only interested in playing well-hung dudes from now on.

"Yeah, that will be a requirement," Timberlake tells us, at the Guru press day. "Maybe it's a she, and she still has a large penis. And it'll still be a requirement."

Wait, is he joking? Here's the thing...

You heard it here first: Oscar-winner Sir Ben Kingsley is now taking acting advice from one of the Olsen twins.

In the summer indie flick The Wackness, Mary-Kate Olsen plays a hippie stoner who takes a psychiatrist (Kingsley) into a phone booth for a quickie. But what happens next is the real shocker...

According to the prosecution's so-called star witness, R. Kelly's relationship with a certain minor amounted to more than one videotape.

Lisa Van Allen testified Monday that, starting in late 1997 or early 1998, she participated in several threesomes with the R&B singer and the girl he's accused of making a sex tape with when she was only 13 or 14 years old.

Both the alleged victim, who's now 23, and Kelly—who has pleaded not guilty—have denied that they're the ones on the video.
