Born Andrea Marie Truden on July 26, 1943, in Nashville, she moved to New York in 1968 to study acting. She shortened her last name to "True" to spare her family embarrassment when she began appearing in pornographic films in the early 1970s, she told the Los Angeles Times in 1976.

"I had nothing better to do," Ms. True said in the interview, which carried the headline: "Porno's Loss Is Disco's Gain."

"I had been turned down by an agent for a record deal, and I was tired of working as an extra in pictures," she said. "Some of my friends asked me to join them in a porno film. I figured I could learn about films and acting that way, so I did it."

But she recalled struggling with her choice: "For one thing, how do you go home and say, 'Mom, I'm in porno movies'?"

She made about 40 such films in the 1970s and became a star of the genre. In 1974, she appeared in six movies, including "Deep Throat Part II" and "Lady on the Couch."

Her music career began in 1975 when she filmed a commercial in Jamaica and was not allowed to leave the country with her earnings. She stayed and spent her money to finish a recording of "More, More, More," an instrument-heavy track credited to the Andrea True Connection.

Remixed and released in 1976, the record turned into "one of the iconic songs of the disco era," Rolling Stone magazine reported. The sensual hit reached the No. 4 spot on the pop charts, according to the All Music Internet database.

The single has been widely licensed for use in movies and commercials and sampled in many songs.

She also had hits with such singles as "What's Your Name, What's Your Number?," "Party Line" and "N.Y. You Got Me Dancing."

Her first album, also called "More, More, More," was followed by another, "White Witch." The sophomore effort largely failed to match Ms. True's earlier success, and her recording career was essentially over, according to All Music.

Still, there would be no going back to porn.

"I would be a waitress or a typist before I'd star in another" adult film, Ms. True told the Times in 1976.

"Now I just want to record and perform. Don't look at me as a porno star anymore," she said. "Look at me as a recording star."

Information on survivors was not released.

Do Men Really Think About Sex More Often Than Women?

Do Men Really Think About Sex More Often Than Women?

  Do men really think about sex more than women?



According to a new study by researchers at Ohio State University, the oft-cited statistic that men think about sex, on average, about once every seven seconds can safely be put to bed—in a college-age population of 163 mixed-gender respondents, the median frequency of sexual thoughts for men was just 19. Women, meanwhile, weren't far behind at a median of 10 naughty thoughts per day.

The lead author on the study, Dr. Terri Fisher, explained in a press release that the impetus for the research was partly to dispense with the notion that men are slaves to their more carnal instincts, as well as to show that women aren't so innocent, either. 

"It's amazing the way people will spout off these fake statistics that men think about sex nearly constantly and so much more often than women do," she said. "When a man hears a statement like that, he might think there's something wrong with him because he's not spending that much time thinking about sexuality, and when women hear about this, if they spend significant time thinking about sex they might think there's something wrong with them."

But showing that men think about sex only a little more than women do was just one part of the study's results. As part of their experimental design, Fisher and her team had tasked some of the participants with recording their thoughts about eating or sleeping instead of sex; in analyzing this extra data, the researchers found that men think about biological urges in general (hunger, tiredness, and, indeed, lust) a little more often than women do. However, Fisher notes that this could be due to gender-specific socialization in our society that discourages women from expressing their physical desires openly, as opposed to a true sex-based distinction.

So, a fair warning to guys with wandering eyes: The biology excuse won't work so well anymore.

Kim Kardashian Loses to Justin Bieber as Bing's 'Most Searched Person' - nude girls facebook com apple ipad nude girls iphone 4 playboy com ipod twitter com free porn blackberry apps

Kim Kardashian Loses to Justin Bieber as Bing's 'Most Searched Person' - nude girls facebook com apple ipad nude girls iphone 4 playboy com ipod twitter com free porn blackberry apps



The search engine Bing released its list of "most searched" for 2011 on Monday. Naturally, many people search for news and updates on their favorite celebrities.

Both Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber have been making headlines in 2011—not just lately, with Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries and Justin's baby scandal, but consistently throughout the year.

The most searched person of 2011 on Bing was Justin Bieber. The world definitely has Bieber fever.

Kim Kardashian came in second behind Justin. Even a fairytale wedding and quickie divorce couldn't land her the top spot.

Jennifer Aniston was the third most searched for person, and Lindsay Lohan was fourth.

Kate and Pippa Middleton were also highly searched for. Kate Middleton made 12th on Bing's list, and even Pippa was number 21. The royal wedding of Kate Middleton to Prince William did top the charts for most searched for celebrity event—Kim Kardashian, as hard as she tried, couldn't outdo the royals.

Justin Bieber Supports Selena Gomez in Kidd Kraddick Twitter Feud — New Details (Audio)

Justin Bieber Supports Selena Gomez in Kidd Kraddick Twitter Feud — New Details (Audio)



Justin Bieber is standing by his woman in her feud with radio personality Kidd Kraddick. The Selena Gomez-Kidd Kraddick smack down flared when Kraddick allegedly dissed the Who Says? singer's pregnant mother on the air. Since that fateful moment, there's been a deluge of Twitter activity from all three principles and their respective fans. JB Tweeted Kraddick a terse message. Kraddick Tweeted Selena denying the whole thing. And, perhaps most important of all, an audio tape of the broadcast in question has surfaced on the Internet which will hopefully prove once and for all who said what. Or not.

For the somehow still uninitiated, Kidd Kraddick is a radio personality who has interviewed Selena Gomez several times in the past. Kraddick allegedly offended Selena Gomez by stating on air that her mother should have a miscarriage. Needless to say Selena saw red and fired off a Tweet to Kraddick lambasting him for "crossing the line." That's when Justin Bieber stepped in.

"Smooth kid," Justin Tweeted on November 28, "real smooth. smh."

Once again, for the uninitiated, "smh" means "shake my head."

Shortly thereafter, Kraddick posted a Tweet of his own—to Selena Gomez, denying the whole thing.

@selenagomez Never said one word about a miscarriage, abortion, or anything of the kind. It's completely made up.

Interestingly enough, he's telling the truth. A close examination of the broadcast, which you can hear on the video below, reveals Kraddick and his fellow deejays joking about Selena's mom's pregnancy, speculating about her advanced age, and hinting that it must be "weird" for Selena to become a big sis at 19 or 20. The conversation switches to a bizarre discussion of the Mariah Yeater scandal that segues into a rather idiotic comedy routine suggesting that maybe it's really Selena Gomez who's pregnant and her mom is just covering for her with a fake baby bump "to protect her image."

"Are you saying it's Mariah Yeater's baby?" exclaims one of Kraddick's co-hosts.

"Wait a minute," interrupts another. "Mariah Yeater's baby's already born."

"Justin Bieber's makin' babies all over the place!" cries a third.

You get the picture. It's low-brow humor—stultifying, predictable, and repetitive, not to mention ageist, sexist, and just plain dumb, but just a comedy routine nevertheless. If this is the entire, unedited broadcast, then Kidd Kraddick is guilty only of being mildly disrespectful and totally unfunny. Sort of like a less profane, male version of Chelsea Handler.

In the meantime, rumor has it that beliebers and Selenators have been momentarily united by this incident and are going after Kraddick with pitchforks—er—Twitter pages in hand. Yikes.

Oh well. Listen to the tape. What do you think?

Stay tuned.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Watched 'The Muppets' in Dallas Contrary to previous reports, Justin and Selena didn't watch Breaking Dawn during the Thanksgiving holidays—they went to see The Muppets at Landmark Magnolia Pictures Theater in Dallas

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Watched 'The Muppets' in Dallas


Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez checked out her cameo in The Muppets at a theater in Dallas.

Contrary to previous reports, Justin and Selena didn't watch Breaking Dawn during the Thanksgiving holidays—they went to see The Muppets at Landmark Magnolia Pictures Theater in Dallas.

The couple was visiting Selena's family for Thanksgiving when they decided to check out the movie, watching the 7:20 p.m. showing on Nov. 25. Since they went to a theater in a big city during a holiday, it might seem pretty amazing that they didn't get mobbed, but the super-sneaky couple found a way to blend in with the crowd.

While Justin Bieber could have rented out a whole theater (again) to get a little alone time with his ladylove while checking her out on the big screen, he opted to sneak Selena Gomez in by entering the theater during the previews. The cute couple reportedly came to the theater holding hands and looking very happy together.

There's no word on if they engaged in some major PDA with their popcorn, but hopefully Justin enjoyed Selena's cameo—in the movie she shows up during the Muppets' telethon to sing and proclaim that she only attended the event because her agent told her to (she claims that she doesn't even know who Kermit and the gang are!).

It's a shame that Justin Bieber didn't make a cameo in the movie with his girlfriend—it would have been fun to see the box office battle between them and Breaking Dawn couple, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. However, The Muppets might get a little box office boost now that Beliebers know that Justin just had to see it.

The Biebs might not have appeared in the movie, but who needs to appear with the Muppets when you've already got a Muppet made in your likeness? Justin's purple Muppet appeared in Sesame Street singing a song called Measure, Yeah, Measure (it kind of sounds like Never Say Never).

So did you see Selena's performance in The Muppets? What did you think of her cute cameo?

Check out Justin as a Muppet below.

iPad 2 White or Black? 16gb vs 32gb? Wi-Fi vs 3g? Putting it all Together - nude girls facebook com apple ipad nude girls iphone 4 playboy com ipod twitter com free porn blackberry apps

iPad 2 White or Black? 16gb vs 32gb? Wi-Fi vs 3g? Putting it all Together - nude girls facebook com apple ipad nude girls iphone 4 playboy com ipod twitter com free porn blackberry apps




iPad 2 - white or black? wifi or 3g? 16gb or 32gb?Looking to purchase an iPad 2? How then do you choose between the white or black model? Or how about storage – 16gb vs 32gb? And of course do I need wifi or 3G? With so many options, how do you determine which is right for you?

Wi-Fi or 3G + Wi-Fi
The iPad 2 has two different network connectivity methods – Wi-Fi or 3G. The 3G version of the iPad 2 will obviously set you back a monthly fee from your wireless carrier but is it really necessary? With so many Wi-Fi hotspots becoming more available day by day, you might consider opting for the Wi-Fi only especially if you already use a smartphone like the iPhone. With iOS 4.3 you get a hotspot feature that will let you use your phone as a mobile hotspot which really eliminates the need for 3G. Also, a large majority of Android smartphones now provide hotspot functionality. So, save the money and go wifi only.
 
16gb or 32gb or 64gb
It is my humble opinion that unless you are have an extensive library of music, photos and/or videos, that the 16gb model will be plenty of space for your everyday use. The typical user will have apps (which don't take up a lot of space) and a smattering of audio files consisting of music and podcasts – not enough to warrant the 32gb or 64gb price difference.
 
In addition, with iCloud and other cloud services, you can easily store files and acquire more storage as needed.
 
Black or white
The black iPad features a more consistent overall design. It looks as though the iPad 2 was originally designed to be black, and the white model is an afterthought. The black color matches the buttons and Apple logo on the iPad, and the end to end glass surface looks a bit cleaner in black.
 
The white iPad actually incorporates three colors. The bezel is white, of course, but the buttons on the side are black, and the back is silver aluminum. The white color tends to make fingerprints less noticeable but scratches and dings will be more easily visible.
 
One benefit of the white model is that it is better suited for outdoor use, particularly in the sunlight and heat. The white color reflects the sun's rays, ensuring that the unit remains cool throughout a session of use. The black model, on the other hand, absorbs more heat from the sun, so it is more susceptible to overheating during outdoor use but in all actuality is that a real concern.
 
I think the biggest consideration comes down to being able to view the content on the device. The contrast on the black model looks more vibrant than on the comparative white model. Maybe that is why TVs are mostly black.
 
In summary, I suggest that you choose the black/Wi-Fi/16gb model and with it you will end up with an amazing piece of technology for around $500 with some room to grow.
 
What are your thoughts on choosing an iPad 2?

Ndamukong Suh Called Roger Goodell To Apologize For His Behavior Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to apologize for his behavior in Thursday’s game against the Packers, according to ESPN.

Ndamukong Suh Called Roger Goodell To Apologize For His Behavior Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to apologize for his behavior in Thursday's game against the Packers, according to ESPN.



Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh called NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to apologize for his behavior in Thursday's game against the Packers, according to ESPN.

Sources told ESPN that Suh is expected to be suspended at least two games for shoving Packers lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith's head, stomping on him and then not admitting it in the post-game press conference. The league is still determining how long Suh will be suspended, but according to ESPN, league officials believe two games will be the minimum and that the league could require Suh to attend anger management classes.

After Thursday's game, Suh defended himself, saying he was trying to keep his balance. He insisted that he did not intentionally step on anyone.

"People are going to have their own opinions — that's fine," he said after the game. "The only (people) that I really care about are my teammates, my true fans and my coaches and their opinions, and that's where it lies. And honestly, the most important person in this whole thing that I have to deal with is the man upstairs."

On Friday night, according to ESPN, Suh changed his tone and apologized via his Facebook page.

"My reaction on Thursday was unacceptable," Suh said in a statement on his Facebook page. "I made a mistake, and have learned from it. I hope to direct the focus back to the task at hand — by winning."
