Laverne Cox, Jordana Brewster And More Go Nude For Allure
Allures annual “Nudes” feature is here and this year’s models include “Orange Is the New Black” star Laverne Cox and the “Fast & Furious” franchise’s Jordana Btewster.

“I said no initially, thought about it, and said no again,” Cox told Allure. “But Im a black transgender woman. I felt this could be really powerful for the communities that I represent. Black women are not often told that we’re beautiful unless we align with certain standards. Trans women certainly are not told we’re beautiful. Seeing a black transgender woman embracing and loving everything about her body might be inspiring for some folks. There’s a beauty in the things we think are imperfect. It sounds very cliché, but its true.”

Katheryn Winnick, who appears in the History Channel’s “Vikings,” said baring it all in front of the camera made her feel “more free and empowered,” while actress Nicole Beharie wanted to do the photo shoot after turning 30 to “celebrate and accept my body in an artistic way.”

18-Year-Old Corbin Fisher Performer Commits Suicide After Firing Gun At Work

An 18-year-old adult film performer who’d appeared in at least three scenes for Corbin Fisher has committed suicide after reportedly firing a gun in the restaurant he’d just been fired from.

Christopher Luke McAteer, who went by ‘Clay’ online, was the suspect in a workplace shooting at Ninki’s Japanese Restaurant in Owensboro, Kentucky. Police reports cite the incident occurring around 8:15 on a Saturday night. McAteer was reportedly arguing with another employee, and was fired after making threats.

About fifteen minutes later, he drove his car past the restaurant and fired five shots at the building. No one was hurt.

He was discovered later that evening in Butler County, KY with a self inflicted gunshot wound, and died at the hospital the next morning, on Easter Sunday.

‘Clay’s’ scenes were all removed from CorbinFisher.com, suggesting the studio doesn’t want to be pulled into a conversation about its impact on young, often impressionable performers.

McAteer’s family released a long obituary, some of which reads:

…he was reared in a Christian home where he was taught about the love and sovereignty of God, and, most importantly, the grace and forgiveness found through His son, Jesus Christ. […] Thankfully, Luke knew the Lord, and had recently rededicated his life. He had been pursuing a daily relationship with Christ in the recent weeks before his unfortunate loss with the battle of depression.
