Kelsey Grammer suffered a mild heart attack this past weekend. The former star of such television hits as “Frasier” and “Cheers” and voice of the irrepressible Sideshow Bob on “The Simpsons” is currently “resting comfortably” in an undisclosed hospital in Hawaii.

Grammer, 53, experienced cardiac symptoms Saturday morning while paddleboarding in the ocean with his wife, Camille, a former playboy model. The two share a home in Kona on Hawaii’s big island. Grammer was immediately rushed to the hospital where it was determined he had experienced a mild heart attack. He is expected to be released later this week after a period of recuperation. Grammer has no previous history of heart problems.

Feministing.com reported that Playmate of 2005, Tiffany Fallon, is featured on the cover naked with a Wonder Woman suit painted on her. The Playboy article begins:

You know the painted lady on the cover as Playmate of the Year 2005 Tiffany Fallon, but to usher you into the story, Sex in America, we recast her as that champion of truth, justice, and American sensuality, Wonder Woman. Tiffany, a modern-day Lynda Carter, has been honing her TV skills. She appeared on The Simple Life with Paris Hilton, became a weekly co-host for the international Fight League’s Battleground and accompanied her country music star husband, Jon Doe Rooney of Rascal Flats, to numerous award shows. What’s next? ‘I’ve been filming The Celebrity Apprentice,’ says Tiffany.

Okay now, I have no problem with Playboy. I also have no problem with tramping about in a cutesy Wonder Woman costume on Halloween. And hey, if you and your lover want to play super hero dress up in the bed room, go for it. Indeed Wonder Woman is sexy, she’s powerful, she confident, she’s gorgeous. But slapping red, blue, and gold body paint on a gal from Celebrity Apprentice and comparing her to our favorite feminist heroine, Linda Carter? Ehhh, I don’t think so.
