I have to raise the possibility that this could have been a planned event that Jlaw willingly participated in. But, considering all the celebs who this is reportedly happening to, they would have to all have something, or someone in common.

I saw the pictures (and am feeling a bit bad about it, but curiosity got the best of me). With the exception of Bar Rafaeli pulling a goatse, they're all pretty tame, though there are some people in mid-coitus. I actually don't know many of these celebs.
JLaw has a very nice body. Of course, all of this does not erase the fact that this hugely embarrassing and level 10 violation of privacy. I have a feeling more are going to leak out in the coming days.
And all I can say: I thank the gods I'm not famous. I probably have lots of sexy stuff (some of it pornographic) in my Cloud that I've long deleted. I feel very bad for the women involved and hope that asshole gets prosecuted.

There will be more pics and vids, apparently. TMZ and some jerk on 4chan has been threatening to release more. ETA: Apparently TMZ tried to buy the pics and vid, but the person with the pics decided to release them based on BitCoin and PayPal donations from the internet. Well, I guess authorities will be able to find whoever this is pretty easily, der. I have to raise the possibility that this could have been a planned event that Jlaw willingly participated in. But, considering all the celebs who this is reportedly happening to, they would have to all have something, or someone in common. ... why? Do you think dozens of female celebrities got together in a plot for a six-figure check from TMZ? Will these pics help these women land endorsement deals? Kirsten Dunst and JLaw suddenly decided to go the Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian route, because they needed more fame? It's not planned. This is not good publicity. This is about public humiliation and some ass getting paid from trashy tabloids.

Yeah. This is a violation and while the point can be made and taken that we all should anticipate less privacy in this age of everyone filming everything, does not diminish the violation.

Not to mention, why on Earth would an already well-established name as Jennifer want to release naked pictures of herself? She's already managed to procure a particular image that sits well with the general audience and the entertainment industry. She hasn't been type-cast (or at least not yet), so it's not like she needs to break a certain mould.

I get what you are saying, but sometimes people take naked pictures of themselves in private for private reasons. These women are victims and I'm not going to shame them for taking naked pictures intended for private viewing. The real issue here is that some person exposing private data, which is incredibly violating. THANK YOU. *slow clap*

Yeah, the idea that a respected Oscar winning actress randomly decided to leak naked photos of herself is just ridiculous.
I accidentally saw the J Law photos and yeah she is posing. But so what? Most likely these were photos she was sending to her then boyfriend. You gotta try to keep the fires burning somehow! And it's not just celebs that do this. Wives and girlfriends of military members often send their SO nude photos. Again, it's a way to remind your long distance love what they have waiting for them at home!
Also, can we stop this inaccurate claim that naked selfies are a brand new thing? They aren't! Before it was cellphone pictures it was polaroids. Before polaroids it was taking dropping off a roll at your nearest drug store (and boy those people have some stories!). And before that it was paying a photographer to take a naked photo of you! Oh and before that it was sketching yourself naked. Queen Victoria gave Prince Albert naked sketches of herself for goodness sake! We've been obsessed ourselves naked for a long time.

On a lighter note, has anyone looked into the possibility that GOOP was behind this leak?

Ugh, crackers* are utter, complete scum. I'm not wishing death on anyone, I'm just saying that if all the crackers of the world suddenly decided that it was a great idea to swan dive into a canyon full of rusty spikes and ebola-coated broken glass, it wouldn't be a sad day.
*Calling these creatures hackers is an insult to honest hackers, i.e., computer experts who know their way around an operating system or two and use what they know to improve security and innovate. Crackers are hackers who use their skills to steal, violate and terrorize. Fuck those guys.

Aw thanks, @madefortv.
I guess the hacker is now saying that there aren't videos. Thank god.
Watching the internet react to this has been a weird mix of sympathy, horror, machismo, and entitlement (dudes are posting requests and arguing that the leaker should be getting paid more), depending on where you visit. I only looked at a few pics as things were breaking, but from what I am hearing files are being uploaded by the minute and have been for hours.
