Every year or so, I wonder what Vail Bloom, Princeton '04 and former Maxim "Hometown Hottie," is up to. For a while she was really into making out at Princeton's Tiger Inn, where "it's always dim, which is convenient for sketchy make-out sessions in the corner." More recently, she's been "mentoring young people and tutor[ing] middle and high school students… [and] running and hiking."

Thanks to you, tipsters, I wonder no more. Vail now plays Assistant District Attorney Heather Stevens on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. Here's a clip of her being all sexy and lawyerly.

It's great to watch people making it, especially when they're super-hot and they're not actually making it. More incredibly well-acted scenes and clips after the jump.

Sometimes famous people show up on our campuses. And that, friends, is why cellphone cameras exist.

Sighted at Brown University, 3:30PM yesterday: Jack Nicholson and celebuspawn daughter Lorraine, child actress, Miss Golden Globe 2007, major jailbait. A tipster who calls himself Andzdab (wtf, right? but he has good tips, so bear with us) reports,

I snapped these photographs of what appeared to be Jack Nicholson touring Brown U. with his daughter. I ran into them in the Keeney Quad and took this picture in Wriston Quad as they toured Wayland House. I saw a small crowd of neatly dressed individuals (him, daughter, tour guide, and maybe one or two others) and wondered who's the special admissions-guaranteed prefrosh who was getting the personal tour.

Days before the the Brown sighting, LA-based Lorraine and Jack were in NYC (and wearing the same outfits they wore in Providence). Could this be a pan-East-Coast college tour? If so, then the Nicholsons appear to be headed north, which means Boston colleges should be on red alert for the budding celebutante and her screenstar dad. Andzdab -- sadly unaware of Lorraine's rapidly accelerating fame and/or hotness -- failed to get little Miss Nicholson's headshot, but did manage a close-up of Jack, after the jump.

"THE GREAT IVY LEAGUE NUDE POSTURE PHOTO SCANDAL." That's the blaring headline from the stodgy New York Times, so there's not much sensationalism we can add to this mind-blowing piece from January 1995 on the fact that thousands and thousands of students from both genders at Princeton, Harvard, Yale and other elite schools were officially photographed completely naked, with metal pins jabbed into their spines, with racist undertones, spanning decades and kept in secret archives that included Hillary Clinton, Diane Sawyer, George Bush, Bob Woodward, Meryl Streep and ohmygod this sentence is never going to end because did we mention this is BLOWING OUR MINDS?!

You gotta read it. All of it. Right here. Reporter Ron Rosenbaum is our new hero.
