Pam Anderson Says Tim Allen Flashed Penis at Her on ‘Home Improvement’
In her upcoming memoir, Pamela Anderson details a disturbing incident that took place on the set of “Home Improvement” in 1991 when she was 23 years old.
“On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe. He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath. He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably,” according to an excerpt in “Love, Pamela,” which Variety has obtained ahead of the book’s Jan. 31 release.
Allen, who was 37 at the time of the alleged incident, was presumably referring to Anderson’s modeling for Playboy, which helped turn the budding actress into an internationally known sex symbol.
“No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing,” Allen told Variety in a statement.
The explosive claim is one of many in the book, which traces Anderson’s rise from small-town girl from Vancouver Island to one of the most recognizable women in the world.
“Home Improvement” marked one of Anderson’s earliest credits, where she played Lisa the Tool Girl in what quickly became the No. 1 TV series in the United States. She appeared in the first two seasons of the ABC sitcom before leaving to focus on “Baywatch,” which became a global phenomenon exported to 150 countries.
“Love, Pamela” is one of the most anticipated titles of the year from HarperCollins. In it, Anderson addresses last year’s hit Hulu series Pam and Tommy. Anderson remained mum on the series, which delves into the infamous sex tape that was stolen from her home with then-husband Tommy Lee, when it launched in February 2022.
Circumcision Appears to Alter The Penis Microbiome, Study Finds : ScienceAlert
For some, circumcision a religious or cultural act. For others, it’s a health decision. Yet even among medical experts, not everyone agrees on whether removing the foreskin of a male person has any real clinical benefits.
A small new study involving 11 children in the United States has found evidence that removing the skin that covers the tip of the penis can change the abundance and composition of bacterial and fungal communities that naturally live there.
But what would that actually mean in practice?
Some of the bacterial communities that shrank following circumcision have been linked to inflammation and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in other research. That tentatively implies circumcision may reduce a person’s susceptibility to STIs by limiting inflammation in penile tissues and viral targets on the skin.
The microbiome is a new frontier in scientific research, and while we’re getting a better idea of how microbes that occupy our bodies can impact our health, the penile microbiome is not nearly as well-studied as, say, the gut, or even the vaginal microbiome.
To date, there is limited data and a lack of controlled studies on circumcision from which to draw any conclusions. Especially when you consider past studies with null results, which tend to get overlooked.
So let’s dig in to the literature.
The theory that circumcision protects against STIs has been in circulation since at least the 1800s, when a scientist by the name of Jonathan Hutchinson posited circumcised Jewish people in London were more protected against syphilis than uncircumcised communities.
Other scientists of the time, however, argued Hutchinson was jumping to conclusions. Correlation, they warned, does not equal causation. There could be other confounding factors influencing this statistical link.
Today, that very same debate is still in full swing, and both sides think they are being more scientific and evidence-based than the other.
Dozens of observational studies and a few randomized clinical trials over the years have found evidence that suggests circumcision can protect individuals from some STIs, at least to some extent.
Meta-analyses based on global data, for instance, have found circumcision is linked to a reduction in bacterial infections, like syphilis, or viral infections, like genital herpes, or herpes simplex virus type 2.
In 2020, two studies found evidence that circumcised adults have a different penile microbiome to those who are uncircumcised, and this was shown to somewhat protect the former group from spreading bacterial vaginosis or contracting human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV/ AIDS).
The results around HIV are particularly contentious.
Based on observational data collected in South Africa, researchers have argued circumcision could be more effective for HIV transmission among heterosexuals “equivalent to what a vaccine of high efficacy would have achieved” (if one existed).
Such conclusions are based on results from three large, randomized controlled trials conducted in Africa among adult males that showed circumcision might lower the risk of contracting HIV by 50 to 60 percent.
While that sounds incredible (and, some counter, clearly overstated), other studies challenge notions of a relationship between HIV infection and circumcision. In October of 2022, a study again examined the statistics behind male circumcision and HIV prevalence among six African nations, but no link was found.
“The study questions the current strategy of large scale Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) campaigns to control the HIV epidemic. These campaigns also raise a number of ethical issues,” the authors of that study argue.
In Africa, circumcision is extremely common and widespread. While cases are largely for cultural reasons, there has also been a push to introduce the practice as a way to stem the spread of HIV.
In the year 2000, scientists proposed that circumcision protected against inflammation and HIV infection by changing the penile microbiome.
The recent study on 11 children is the first of its kind to show microbiome changes can follow circumcision. As intriguing as the results are, the small sample size and the fact it doesn’t prove a causal effect are reason enough to remain somewhat skeptical.
Of course, it might be true that removing the foreskin changes a penis’s microbiome. But how those changes impact infection is still unclear. Some changes might be good for health. Others might harm it.
In Denmark, for instance, a population-based study that spanned three decades found no evidence that circumcision in infancy or childhood protected against HIV or other STIs. In fact, in this particular study, circumcision was actually linked to higher STI rates overall, especially for genital warts and syphilis.
Many of the studies on circumcision to date have been conducted among heterosexual adult males in developing nations. Whether those results translate to other parts of the world or to gay or queer individuals remains unclear. There are numerous factors that influence human health and many more that control bacterial and viral spread.
Nevertheless, in 2007, the US American Academy of Pediatrics reviewed the literature on circumcision and argued the “current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks.”
In comparison, officials at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledge that circumcision may partially protect from HIV, but at the same time, they argue there is not rigorous evidence to suggest male circumcision can reduce HIV transmission among the gay and queer community.
Without more robust clinical studies circumcision, the penis’ microbiome, and sexually transmitted infections, the evidence will remain deeply conflicting for parents and experts alike.
The study was published in European Urology Focus.
Scientists Repair Pig Erections With New Kind of Penis Implant
Scientists in China believe they may have found a better way to fix an injured penis. In research published this week, a synthetic material developed by the team was able to restore normal erectile function when implanted in pigs. The material may offer important advantages over existing methods, and it may even have applications for other kinds of tissue repair.
In a penis, the tunica albuginea is the protective, elastic layer surrounding the erectile tissue that pumps blood to the organ. It plays a vital role in maintaining an erection, and it’s often one of the parts of the penis damaged by certain conditions or injuries, including a broken penis. And while there are surgical treatments that can repair a damaged urethra, current procedures tend to be less effective at restoring a functional tunica albuginea. Patches attached to the tunica albuginea, largely made of tissue from somewhere else in the body, can be rejected by the immune system, for instance. And these patches simply don’t resemble the natural tunica albuginea on a microscopic level, meaning that they usually can’t restore normal erectile function.
Scientists from the South China University of Technology decided to try a different approach to repairing these kinds of injuries. They aimed to create a safe and synthetic material with similar physical properties as the tunica albuginea, which can bend and twist when the penis isn’t erect and then easily become rigid during an erection. The team’s artificial tunica albuginea is made of hydrogels arranged in a stacked fiber structure, similar to the natural version.
“Our research is based on a simple scientific hypothesis: by simulating the microstructure of natural tissues, we can obtain artificial materials with properties similar to those of the tissues,” senior author Xuetao Shi told Gizmodo in an email.
G/O Media may get a commission
In animal experiments involving pigs with a damaged tunica albuginea, the material appeared to allow their erect penises to expand as rigidly as in normal pigs (to make the penises erect on demand, a saline injection was used). And though the material didn’t repair the tissue surrounding it, it didn’t appear to cause any added scarring a month later.
“Our study demonstrates that [the artificial tunica albuginea] has great promise for penile injury repair,” the authors wrote in their paper, published Wednesday in Matter.
Encouraging as these results are, this technology is still only in its early stages, Shi notes. There’s a lot more research to be done before it could be widely tested in humans. Among other things, they have to confirm the material’s long-term effectiveness and safety, meaning it could survive unobtrusively in the body for at least three to five years. There are also probably improvements that could be made in how it’s implanted onto the penis (right now, the team is using a simple suture). And even if this material works as intended, it’s only one piece of the puzzle, since injured penises are often damaged in several ways, not just along the tunica albuginea.
The team is working on refining their technology and on better ways to repair the penis as a whole, including the treatment of permanent nerve damage. And team’s basic approach could possibly be used for other tissues, such as those found in the bladder and heart, though the material would likely require adjustments depending on the tissue it’s meant to repair, Shi noted.
“In the future, we hope to systematically study the male reproductive system with the aim of achieving functional simulation and in vitro reconstruction at the organ level of the penis and testes,” Shi said. “On the other hand, we are also working with clinicians to enable early clinical application of artificial TA, which we think is very likely to happen.”
Veteran lost half of penis from cancer, calls it ‘Frankenweiner’
An army warrant officer said he lost half of his penis and believes doctors misdiagnosed a mysterious ailment on his genitals, which was actually cancer.
Now, the British solider has been told he has just a year to live.
Gavin Brooks claims that doctors, who believed that he had a genital wart, left him with what he calls a “Frankenweiner” after it was mutilated in surgery.
The 45-year-old said he visited army doctors three times in 2021 when he developed a “tight ring of skin” and a lesion on his penis.
“The best way I can describe it like a ring of tissue or hard skin within the foreskin,” Brooks explained to Southwest News Service. “When I’d retract the foreskin, I would have to pull it over the head of the penis.”
The Cheshire resident said he immediately “knew this wasn’t normal” and “had to get it checked out.”
“The skin that connects the foreskin to the penis broke and would bleed and cause pain when I would go for a wee,” he added.
After three weeks of being in pain, Brooks went to army doctors who suggested that it might be Lichen sclerosus, a disease that causes patchy, discolored and thin skin.
“The army doctors thought it was a wart but I didn’t know how I’d got one as I’d been married for 20 years and only had one sexual partner in that time, so I didn’t think they were right,” said Brooks.
Four weeks later, the vet returned to the medical center where the same doctor reportedly insisted it was just a wart. Another doctor at the army hospital thought it was “thrush,” commonly called a yeast infection, according to Brooks, and gave him cream for treatment.
Finally, he went to a sexual health clinic where a dermatologist did a biopsy of his penis.
Once the results came back, Brooks found out he had penile cancer.
Last January, Brooks underwent surgery in an attempt to cure cancer — which resulted in half of his penis being cut off.
“They lifted my penis up and cut it in half and took a skin graft from my leg to make a penis head, but it is flat with a hole in,” he said.
“I’ve nicknamed it the ‘Frankenweiner’. When I woke up in hospital I was so scared at how much of my penis looked to have been removed as it had a dressing on it and a catheter fitted you couldn’t make out the full extent until all of that was removed.”
However, his cancer had already spread, forcing further treatment.
Brooks’ first round of chemotherapy didn’t work and his cancer spread more, so he will soon undergo a second chemotherapy treatment with radiotherapy included.
Now, cancer has diminished his ability to walk or travel since he’s in a wheelchair.
“I can’t walk long distances and I now use a wheelchair more than I walk,” he said. “I’ve spent 24 years in the army and a great amount of that time as a fitness training instructor and I use exercise to get rid of stress, now I have to be sat in a wheelchair to watch my little boy play football.”
Brooks has now started a campaign to raise funds for an experimental treatment abroad.
“I hope I can get some sort of treatment abroad that can help make the cancer smaller and make my lifespan longer so I can stay around as long as possible,” he said. “My son Jorje says he’s going to lift the World Cup one day and I want to be around for that.”
The army vet is also urging others to check their genitals regularly for signs of cancer in the hopes of saving others’ lives.
“If I had been diagnosed earlier, I may have only ended up requiring a circumcision that could have prevented the rest of the operations and chemotherapy,” said Brooks. “That’s why I need to raise as much awareness for this rare and unknown cancer, so more time and research can be spent into the treatment and diagnosis of this deadly disease before it’s too late.”

50 Cent Sues Plastic Surgeon For Alleging He Had Penis Surgery
The Power creator is suing Angela Kogan and both her businesses for using his likeness to sell products.
50 Cent does not play about his image or his money. His 2019 lawsuit against Teairra Mari proved that he’d get his money by any means necessary.
On Friday (September 16), the Power creator defended himself against another false claim, which also lead to him suing a woman. According to reports, 50 is suing plastic surgeon Angela Kogan and her businesses, Perfection Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, for continuously posting an old photo of them together, leading people to believe that he went under the knife for penis enhancement surgery.
50 states in the lawsuit that he took the photo with Kogan in February 2020 because he thought she was a fan. However, her and her team used the pic to promote their penis enhancement services, much to 50’s dismay. The Queens rapper says it wasn’t a huge deal to him, until The Shade Room did a story with the business owner, and used said photo in the article. 50 denies ever going under the knife and wants Kogan’s team to stop sharing the photo. In the suit, he claims the pic is “exposing him to ridicule, damaging his professional and personal reputation and violating his right to control his name and image.”
50’s lawsuit comes on the heels of Nicki Minaj suing a blogger who allegedly claimed the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper was addicted to cocaine. Celebs suing folks for false accusations is nothing new. Earlier this year, Cardi B won a $1.25 million settlement in her defamation lawsuit against Youtube blogger Tasha K, who accused the Bronx rapper of having an STD. Last week, Cardi made it known that she still hasn’t been paid by the Youtuber. “SEND MY CHECK,” the “Hot Sh*t” star shared on Instagram.

50 Cent Reportedly Sues Medspa for Implying He Had Penis Enhancement
50 Cent is attempting to squash penile enhancement rumors.
According to TMZ, the 47-year-old hip-hop mogul has filed a right-of-publicity lawsuit against plastic surgeon Angela Kogan and her company, Perfection Plastic Surgery & MedSpa. The complaint stems from a photo taken of Fif and the doctor during his 2020 trip to Miami. TMZ reports 50 agreed to take the picture because he believed Kogan was a fan; however, she and her company have continued to use the image to promote its products and services.
Fast-forward to August 2022, when the Shade Room published an article about the growing popularity of Brazilian butt lifts as well as penis enhancements. The piece, which included the aforementioned photo, centered on Kogan’s medspa and listed Fif among its celebrity clientele, along with Teyana Taylor, Odell Beckham, and more.
The lawsuit alleges Kogan used the photo to promote her business without authorization, and falsely implied he underwent penis enlargement surgery. 50 maintains he never had the procedure, or any kind of surgery, at Kogan’s medspa. He argues the defendants use of the photo has subjected him to “ridicule” and damaged both his professional and personal reputation. 50 is demanding the company stop using the picture and is seeking unspecified damages.
Stay tuned as more information about the case becomes available.
Watch bizarre moment Johnny Depp laughs as security guard speaks about his penis in court
There was a light moment in court on Thursday during the defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard when the actor burst out laughing after his bodyguard was asked if he had seen the actor’s penis.
The trial between Mr Depp and Ms Heard began on 11 April in Fairfax, Virginia. Mr Depp is suing his ex-wife for $50m over an op-ed she wrote in December 2018 in which she referred to herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse”.
Ms Heard did not name Mr Depp in the article, but his lawyers have said that the article made it difficult for him to land film roles.
On Thursday, Mr Depp’s bodyguard Malcom Connolly said that he accompanied the couple to Australia in 2015, when Mr Depp severed his finger. Mr Depp was filming the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie at the time.
Concerning what happened at the house in Australia, Ms Heard’s lawyer said Mr Depp was trying to urinate “in the foyer” and “had his penis out”.
Mr Connolly was asked: “When you arrived at the house, you could hear a ruckus. Correct?”
He admitted that he could hear a ruckus, but only “shouting”. He said he could not make out the words.
Ms Heard’s lawyer then told the bodyguard: “You went inside the house and saw Mr Depp in the foyer. Correct?”
Mr Connolly, who said yes, was then asked: “Mr Depp was trying to urinate in the foyer, wasn’t he?”
When the bodyguard said “no”, the lawyer asked: “Mr Depp had his penis out, didn’t he?
“I think I would remember if I’d seen Mr Depp’s penis,” Mr Connelly said, prompting laughter from Mr Depp and other court attendees.
The court was then played a recording of Mr Depp from their time in Australia. He could be heard yelling “how you f***** me over” and “make me feel sick”. Mr Connolly confirmed that Mr Depp was angry at the time.
The hearing has also been trending on social media.
One user tweeted: “She [Ms Heard] is just seeeeeeething… wow. Her note pad was getting a direct etching today… five sheets through… yikes.”
Some users also mocked the line of questioning.
“And while you were trying to get Mr Depp out of the house, Mr Depp was trying to get little Depp out of his own little house, correct?” tweeted one person.
