Playgirl Wants Naked Photos Of Anderson

Anderson Cooper better watch his back in his Manhattan gym, because Playgirl's Daniel Nardicio has offered a $10,000 payoff for naked photos.

Just days after someone tried to take Jake Gyllenhaal's picture in the bathroom at a movie premiere, skin mag Playgirl has confirmed to me that they've offered $10,000 to anyone who can get them a naked picture of CNN's Anderson Cooper. I know. Playgirl honcho Daniel Nardicio tells me that Anderson tops their list of 'Top 10 Guys We Want To See Naked,' which will be in their March issue. "He's got this charisma that a lot of our readers are attracted to, plus now he's all muscled, [so] he's not only smart but also hot," Nardicio says. "Both our male and female readers love Anderson."

"You only want me because of my fame, so you can go fuck yourself. Calvin [Klein] is my partner -- you don't understand because you don't have that. I am famous now, and people want me for my fame, and you should be careful 'cause of the people I know and what they could do to you." - Porn actor Nick Gruber, responding to Playgirl editor Daniel Nardicio.

"I will NEVER let another celeb pose for Playgirl without full-frontal (unless we advertise so). In other words, Kirk will have to do full frontal to do Playgirl. Playgirl made a killing off the Levi shoot, and I got a hefty raise because of it. Some douchebag at AOL Popeater wrote a "piece" where he claims I said we lost money. We paid Levi a small sum to pose, with a rev share for the rest. So our output was minimal and we did VERY well. Anyway, I needed to write this to someone." - Playgirl marketing director Daniel Nardicio, in an email responding to my post about Kirk McCambley.

CougarGate: Kirk Signs With Playgirl?

Manhattan nightlife and sex party promoter Daniel Nardicio is reporting on his Facebook page that Iris Robinson's boytoy, the now 21 years old Kirk McCambley, has signed to do a photo-layout for Playgirl. Nardicio also handled Levi Johnston's hotly awaited, but poorly received photo spread for the title. Since the scandal broke, McCambley has become a minor sensation in the UK, fielding offers from the gay glossy Attitude and becoming the subject of numerous Facebook fan pages, where "Team Kirk" tshirts are now being sold.

DList To End

The New York Press is reporting that popular gay gossip/hookup site DList will be ending its run next month.

If you’re a 20-something gay man in New York City, chances are you’ve heard of DList.com, have an active profile or have at least hooked up as a result of it. You can imagine my surprise Saturday night at Michael Formika Jones’ new party “F-Word” when nightlife trailblazer and DList creator Daniel Nardicio (pictured at right) told me he was pulling the plug on the social networking site. “Dlist is pretty much dead,” he confessed. “I moved on emotionally when I realized I’d partnered with the wrong person. So I’m developing the next, new exciting version of what I wanted for DList! It'll incorporate all my original ideas from DList, but move the whole venture into live, real contact.” Though DList may be over—it’s expected to go offline by mid-January—Nardicio is taking his show to Fire Island for the summer. “Also,” he said, “I'm developing an online store to help financially-challenged gay guys shop for cool stuff and promote hot new brands.”
