FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE INTERVIEWS
FUNNY-MAN and INSOMNIAC STAR, DAVE ATTELL
(Boca Raton, FL – September 27, 2005) Comedian, Dave Attell, is living the rock-star life at 40, but for this native New Yorker, life hasn’t always been a smooth ride on a Comedy Central Insomniac tour bus. “I was a shy, morose, self-hating child. Now, I’m still all of those, but thanks to alcohol and cable TV, I’ve come out of my shell.” So, what’s the downside to being a famous cable TV, chain-smoking barfly? “People buy me drinks and when you don’t drink every drink that’s bought for you, they feel cheated – but, I have a liver and I only have one. I don’t have a special comedy liver!” Attell, who admits to resembling Andre Agassi—”gone to seed,” has a fierce following and a global fan-base; yet, the nightlife travelogue star prefers a dark, dingy corner pub to the red carpet any day. The acclaimed comic also prefers Penthouse to Playboy and being recognized for his stand-up, not his televised alcoholism. A witty interview that shouldn’t be missed, hear Dave howl in November’s issue.
CELEBRITY NUDES: Catherine Zeta Jones, Susan Sarandon and Claire Danes have all exposed themselves on film and in the name of art. In November’s issue, Mr. Skin—the foremost authority on celebrity nudity—exposes a thing or two himself. Namely, the stills and titles of the cinematic celluloids in which these leading ladies bared more than their souls.
THE GAME IS ON: After a 310-day lockout that cancelled the 2004-05 season, the NHL is finally back! In a tribute to the leagues’ past, present and future, Penthouse lists THE TOP 5 PLAYERS IN NHL HISTORY and THE FUTURE FIVE SUPERSTARS destined to be the next, best skate greats.
SOUND BITES: SUM 41 Front Man, Deryck Whibley, picks 11 of his all-time favorite songs. Strangely enough, none of fiancée Avril Lavigne’s music makes the cut. Also, GOO GOO DOLLS bassist, Robby Takac, lays claim to his PEZ candy addiction and collection, “PEZ is the crack of sugar. I think the only further you can go than that is rock candy.” Takac owns roughly 1,300 of the dispensers, including the original Popeye and the original Casper The Friendly Ghost. Hmmm, do you think Robby surfs e-bay much? TOWERS OF LONDON—is this British import band comprised of pretty boys, posers or wankers? If you ask their fans, they’re none of the above. They sound like the Sex Pistols, they curse like sailors, they “party like it’s 1999″ and they fight like Guns N’ Roses. Hairspray and lip-liner aside, they are bringing another wave of U.K. anarchy “across the pond” and the U.S. is digging these nasty boys.
