''The Sun'' will often include a comment (ostensibly) from the model in question about some topical story, under the heading "News in Briefs". Recently these have moved away from [[QI|Alan Davies]]'s "Jenny from Exeter thinks that war is bad" to [http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/magazinemonitor/2010/05/paper_monitor_937.shtml the frankly absurd]. |

Naturally, this sort of thing riles up some feminists (and others), and there are often [[There Should Be a Law|calls for the things to be banned]]. One of the most famous anti-Page Three activists is MP Clare Short (Ind, Birmingham Ladywood -- formerly Labour). After another attack from Ms. Short, ''The Sun'' attempted to retaliate by trying to get hold of a picture of ''her'' topless from an ex. They got a picture of her in a nightie and a severe rap from the Press Complaints Commission (the UK's [[Media Watchdogs|watchdog for the press]]). |

The most famous (or infamous) [[Page Three Stunna]] is Jordan, aka Katie Price, former-other half of Peter Andre. She was "retired" from Page Three after she got breast implants (which ''The Sun'' doesn't allow). A famous early one was Samantha Fox, who later came out as a lesbian (she sang a bit too). Another well-known former [[Page Three Stunna]] is Marina Baker (who these days often goes under her married name of Marina Pepper), a former Playboy Playmate turned journalist, author (of several books on white magic - she's a practicing Wiccan), environmental activist and local politican (in the suburbs of Brighton, England). Oh yeah, and back in her Playmate days, she had an affair with [[Daniel Craig]]. |
