Los Angeles, CA, United States (Celebrity News Service) – The Coalition for the War on Illegal Pornography believes that NBC’s new series “The Playboy Club” is promoting the cause they are fighting against.

The group believes that the show will contribute to the sexual exploitation of women and promote the acceptance of pornography all while making a profit.

“Since the 50s, sleazy Hugh Hefner and his Playboy Magazine has pushed a philosophy which dictated that, to the ‘sophisticated man,’ the female is a mere toy to be used, abused and discarded. That philosophy has inflicted unimaginable harm to our society, now documented by years of research,” Patrick A. Trueman, the President of Morality in Media said in a statement.

“Today – with the cooperation of NBC and the network’s use of the public airwaves – Playboy is poised to cause even more harm, this time bringing its sleaze directly into America’s living rooms. We don’t need NBC to pour more fuel to that fire,” he added.

Trueman wants citizens to sign a pledge at www.CloseTheClubOnNBC.com to help halt production of the series.

“The Playboy Club” is scheduled to be a part of NBC’s lineup this fall.

LA, CA, United States (AHN Entertainment) – Queen Latifah’s new show on VH1 “Single Ladies” focuses on a group of three girlfriends trying to work their way through the world of men in very different ways. The shows stars Stacey Dash, LisaRaye McCoy, and Charity Shea.

On a recent episode of “Big Morning Buzz Live,” Latifah and McCoy were all smiles during their appearance.

The host invited them to play a game called “nasty and unacceptable nasty.” The name of the game itself was sure to lead to laughs and McCoy’s quick response of “acceptable nasty” about sex on the first date had the audience in hysterics. Adding to the humor was Latifah who was adimant about unacceptable foot fetishes.

Things weren’t all laughs, however, during McCoy’s appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show.” The host and guest first talked about the show, comparing McCoy’s character to Samantha Jones from “Sex and the City.” When Williams breached the topic of possible fights on set, McCoy’s demeanor shifted.

McCoy said, “I am too grown to put myself in that position.” She added that there were no physical altercations between herself and castmember Dash, but when “filming 13-15 hours a day, there’s going to be creative differences, there’s going to be some words exchanged.” She then noted, “At the end of the day, we’re making a great product.

Wyoming, MI, United States (AHN) – Nut Bar Company Inc. of Wyoming, MI, is recalling 90 cases (total of 360 individual bags) of 40 ounce packages of “GFS Pecan Pieces” because they may contain undeclared walnuts rather than pecans.

People who have allergies to walnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

GFS Pecan Pieces, Lot Number 095 1094 with UPC 093901134837 were distributed only through Gordon Food Service’s (GFS) Shepherdsville, KY Distribution Center.

The product was distributed to Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia and reached consumers through restaurant distribution and GFS Marketplace Stores.

The only lot code affected by this recall is 095 1094, which can be found printed near the top of the package.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that a walnut containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of walnuts. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company’s packaging processes.
