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.

So, those pictures of handsomepants boxer Oscar De La Hoya dressed in drag? Fakes, sports fans!
A group of experts who studied the photos has deemed that they were Photoshopped, just like De La Hoya swore they were and just like nobody believed for a second. Whoopsies.
Who knew strippers, celebrity photo agency X17 and the New York Post could be so unreliable?
Milana Dravnel, the woman who last week came forward with stories and pictures depicting Oscar De La Hoya's interest in cross-dressing, is now substantially changing her story, saying that she can't be certain of the authenticity of the photographs.
Pictures of De La Hoya "were taken from my personal camera and were out of my control," Dravnel said last night. "I was pressured into going public with the photos by certain individuals who had improper motives and acted solely for their own financial gain.

Dravnel would not go so far as to say that all the pictures were doctored. Asked about specific shots — such as one that appears to show her getting a hug from the tutu-wearing pugilist — she declined to comment.

Oscar De La Hoya's camp has predictably maintained that photos released yesterday of the prizefighter in lingerie are doctored images. One accusatory stripper (aren't they always?), however, has a different story involving myriad fetishes and lavish escapades:
