Rashida Jones Is A Stunner In Flaunt Magazine

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

‘Parks & Recreation’ actress Rashida Jones is a beauty in a feature for Flaunt magazine’s October issue.

The 36-year old actress showed off her svelte figure in the sexy editorial. This is a new side of the actress, the daughter of music legend Quincy Jones, who’s known more for her humor (that sometimes lands her in hot water like urging actor John Travolta to come out of the closet) and clean girl image. When not shedding a new layer of herself, Rashida is stomping for President Obama.

Jones and her ‘Parks and Recreation’ co-star Adam Scott spoke to a crow of students at the University of Northern Iowa Lang Hall this past Saturday,  “My response to that is what if your parents don’t have any money? We need everyone in this country to get an education. It’s an important thing.”

The duo are hitting the road in Iowa part of a two-day, five-city swing in hopes of helping President Barack Obama win the crucial state. As Scott noted, “In ’08, if it weren’t for early voting, Obama would have lost Iowa, but once they tallied up the early voting, he took the state. So it’s really, really important. But again, not as important as being able to totally chill on election day.”

Jones spent time talking about the president’s health care program and the new benefit that allows young people to remained covered under their parents until they reach the age of 26.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
