Just as we were all starting to move on with our lives and gloss over that nasty business of phone hacking, Christina Hendricks turns up in the nip and proves once and for all that phone hacking can be put to good use. Websites across the globe have been happily sharing Christina’s tasteful(?) nude pics with anyone that might want to take a peek. Some have added carefully placed stars or logos to class up the images, though that’s probably left most surfers slightly disappointed. If nothing else the shots show that phone hacking really does have a public interest defence. No-one need waste time at Christina’s next movie wondering what she looks like starkers, thankfully now we can all get on with the more important business of concentrating on the plot knowing what she looks like naked. Hendricks’ is not the first celeb to be caught with her pants down and judging by this line up she won’t be the last.

Paris Hilton

Oh Paris. Is there any part of your shallow and pointless existence not already plastered across the internet? Using ‘Paris’ or ‘Hilton’ as your password just isn’t working. How about throwing some numbers in there or, I don’t know, using a proper password? Hilton’s phone contents are so regularly accessed and shared with the world that if you search for ‘leaked Paris pics’ you’re met with a vast choice of content. Paris doing drugs, Paris doing a stranger, Paris naked. Interestingly it’s never Paris doing anything that won’t get her mug in every tabloid across the world. To be honest there’s really not much point hacking Paris’s phone, we’ve already seen more than we ever really wanted to see. Her mum must be so proud.

Chris Brown

The girlfriend beater and purveyor of questionable R&B found himself amidst more controversy when a self-taken nude image surfaced on the web. Brown’s been known to suggest that any publicity is good publicity. Though, I’m not sure getting your knob out is the appropriate way to stop the world focusing on that awkward moment when you beat up your girlfriend.  Put it away Chris, when you stop trying to show the world how manly you are, you might just get a girlfriend.

Rihanna

Former girlfriend of the aforementioned Chris Brown, Rihanna’s not shy when it comes to personal photography. In 2009 a post shower photo was leaked online showing one hand taking the photo while the other barely covered her modesty. We also learnt that Rihanna has a nipple ring and as any self-respecting celeb should she even got in a Nike product placement. Though I suspect most people’s attention may be elsewhere. Chin up Rihanna, you’re not the only girl in the world this has happened to.

Blake Lively

Gossip Girl star and rumoured girlfriend of Leo DiCaprio decided that 2011 was the year to show us her talents — by starring in the film Hick, of course. However phone hackers decided it was the year to put her other talents on display by sharing a series of images of Blake in the buff. While the world wide web is grateful for the hacker’s services to onanism, Blake’s agent insists the images are fake. Fake or not, Blake’s certainly livened up more than a few people’s ‘browsing activities’.

Vanessa Hudgens

What’s the least appropriate thing you could do if you’re a teen Disney star unhappy with your image? Perhaps a bit of shoplifting, maybe wear some edgy clothes in a subtle attempt to change your image? No, if you’re Vanessa Hudgens, star of High School Musical, you lez it up on camera and ‘leak’ the images online. But wait, no need to stop there. In these days of acceptance it would be foolish to think a bit of same sex action could tarnish your image. Throw in some nude pics, a few lingerie clad ones too and you’re in business. Clean cut image gone in a couple of mouse clicks. Oh the rebellion. Just so you know Vanessa, nothing can ever erase the fact you dated Zac Efron.

James Middleton

No-one would have cared about this bloke’s arse except for the fact it’s sibling upstaged the biggest Royal Wedding since Charles and Di’s ill-fated shindig. But, thanks to Pippa’s aisle based antics the semi-nude shots of the party planning heirs crack have been seen on the web in all their mooning glory. Had his cheeks not shared the same genes as one of the most coveted rumps of 2011 the pics would probably have stayed hidden on the notoriously private Facebook for all eternity. Sadly for James his buttocks can’t really compete compared to Pippa’s cheeks. Cheer yourself up with a party ring James.
