Guys who get a lot of sex are celebrated, and women who get a lot of sex are disgraced; WTF?!It seems that while moms and dads all across the world gave their little boys and girls the Birds and Bees SEX talk; not everyone got the same info.

Erykah Badu Fined $500 For Public Striptease

Singer Erykah Badu says her latest video concept was 'grossly misunderstood.'

Jesse James must love Erykah Badu right about now, and not just because she's a tattooed woman who likes to take her clothes off. But it's because of Erykah's recent stunt in the buff that she's currently hogging the media spotlight, giving Jesse a small respite. In the video for her new single, "Window Seat," Erykah walks through downtown Dallas, shedding her clothes as she goes, and then falls to the ground when a shot rings out, "killing" her right next to the spot where John F. Kennedy was shot in 1963.
