New research calls into question a study suggesting circumcision halves a man's chances of contracting HIV, a claim detailed at length in 2006 in this former "Most E-Mailed" New York Times article. According to one expert, the latest data shows the 2006 findings to be "spurious and unsupported" and more related to behavior than physicality. Whoops.
Sorry you got such a bad rap, hooded friends. To make you feel more included, after the jump, we've made a list of all your ALLEGEDLY uncircumcised brethren in Hollywood.

Bobby premiered in LA last night at the black tie opening night gala of AFI Fest (phew, that's a mouthful) and all the film's stars were out to celebrate. Lindsay Lohan looked kinda pissed despite smiling (as per usual these days). Demi Moore looked gorgeous, but creepily young (lay off the 'tox, sweetie). Everyone else looked nice, but unthrilling. Somehow, though, Ashton Kutcher still seems to come off like he's a kid who had to dress up fancy 'cause his mom said so. At least his wife's body is as smooth as the day she was born. Ew.
If you can't tell from the pictures, Lindsay Lohan is sad. She recently revealed that during the shooting of Bobby (Get it, it's about Bobby Kennedy, no? Bad joke? Okay.) she had to both deal with a real life personal tragedy and learn how to act at the same time.
Just as Lohan was preparing to film a traumatic scene in which her character's friend is shot during the Kennedy incident, one of the actress' real-life best friends, who suffered from meningitis, was also on the brink of death. Lohan had to choose between being on the set of the movie or at her friend's bedside, she reveals in the new issue of Interview magazine.
"Our families are best friends and she was like a cousin, so you can imagine," the actress told the magazine. "I was on the phone with her parents every single night, and just before she died, I wanted to fly back to see her so badly."
The tiny bit of silver lining was that she was able to channel her personal sadness into a role that required her to be sad. So, I guess she didn't really need to learn how to act, but now I'm just splitting hairs.
"Even though no one else died, a number of other people were shot as well," Lohan tells the magazine of the 1968 shooting, "so I had to stay and shoot it. My [real-life] friend ended up passing away that same day, so the scene is really personal for me. It was the most tragic one I've ever had to do and required the most acting. Other roles I've had didn't require as much acting, because my character was closer to my own age and experience. This time, I had to go to that darker place and use that for my work."
Huh, well, at least she admits that she's never actually had to act before this. Hopefully Lil' Lohan is feeling better these days. Maybe I could brighten her day by sending her one of these "I [heart] Firecrotch" t-shirts.
PS: Who knew that Bobby is directed by Emilio Estevez? I can't wait.
