We watch this footage because it's something we're not supposed to see (sometimes) but we come away satisfied that when famous people have sex it's closer to the sex we as civilians have from time to time. Meaning: it's hardly ever sexy the way we expect it to be sexy, even when the participants are ostensibly more attractive than the majority of our sex partners will be. It looks as though a hacker has obtained nude photos of various female celebrities, posting them to (of all places) 4chan. You have got to be f------ kidding me Images of celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Teresa Palmer, started popping up on 4chan /b, boards and have spread like wildfire on Imgur*. None of the celebrities have commented, and of course, there is no confirmation that the pictures are legit. But let's be real, they probably are. Because no one and nothing is safe, especially sensitive, private, nude photos of some of the most famous women on Earth.

Of pictures of her own naked body. According to the New York Post, Lawrence's lawyers reached out to the p--- site hosting the pictures, citing copyright infringement. But the site fired back that because some of the pictures weren't selfies, she didn't own copyright. Further, the site said it wouldn't comply with the request until whoever owned the copyright contacted them with proof they owned the copyright. Whoever selfied it delfied it, says the law.
