Charities find that nudity pays In today's precarious economy, charities seeking to raise money are finding that bake sales just don't cut it anymore. But stripping sure does. Taking it all off is really taking off as a new crop of bare-all calendars featuring plain folks shedding their inhibitions for worthy causes is on sale for 2003. The groups range from female wool spinners who seek to confront "the ageism and size ism in our culture" to the Rotary Club in Brattleboro, Vt. The calendars all have one thing in common: They aren't beefcake or cheesecake calendars featuring thong-clad stick figures with breasts, but ones that show the bags and sags and every last wrinkle of do-gooders of all ages. And if you think people won't pay to see their pear-shaped neighbors draped only in a bit of netting, think again. The various charitable groups all say they were inspired by the highly successful "Ladies of Rylstone" in England. Those British ladies, ages 45 to 60, were pillars of their community who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for leukemia research. Their 1999 calendar was so popular it was published again in 2000 and wound up generating an eye-popping $700,000. Selling well in the United States is the $25 "Still Magnolias" calendar. It features 26 women from Aiken, S.C., each at least 60 years old (some are in their 80s), wearing little more than jewelry and strategically placed props.

Geraldo, Signing Cheek to Cheek Our old friend Geraldo Rivera is in hot water again. This time the multimillion-dollar Fox News correspondent is in trouble over a report in yesterday's Free Lance-Star, the Fredericksburg, Va., newspaper, detailing his conduct at the scene of Friday's sniper killing where Kenneth H. Bridges was shot while pumping gas. Minutes after the 58-year-old Rivera did a grim-faced live stand-up at the Exxon station where Bridges, a Philadelphia father of six, was slain that morning -- calling the sniper a "creep" who had committed "murder and mayhem" from "a cowardly distance" -- he repaired to the local Hooters, 50 yards away, to have dinner and to autograph the skimpy orange hot pants of several willing waitresses. The 58-year-old television star was joined in this hilarity by producer Craig Rivera -- "my brave brother Craig," as Geraldo called him in a memo last week in which he once again defended himself against the Baltimore Sun's allegations of bad journalism last year when he filed a spectacularly mistaken report of friendly fire in Afghanistan. Hooters patron Geoff Leach, a Fredericksburg environmental consultant, told us that Geraldo and his younger brother each used a felt-tip pen to scrawl their names, left and right, on each cheek of the Hooters shorts.
