COVER STORY
Alina Puscau is a lingerie model, the singer of "When You Leave" (the
sultry version of "NUmma-porn-star">Uma NUmma-porn-star">Uma") and the girlfriend of Brett Ratner, director
of X-Men: The Last Stand. The two—well, three if you count Alina's mannequin—show
us that Helmut Newton's world is still sexy. Our Rabbit is the hottest clip next
to Alina's music video.
