Alice in Maximland
March 13, 2010
It’s that rabbit hole all nubile actresses have to go down whenever they have a film they need to promote, and thank God juggy Alice Eve is no exception.... |

And the award goes to ... zzzz
March 8, 2010
Well, the 82nd annual Academy Awards have come and gone, and it was exactly the conveyor belt-like snoozer people said it would be. And a mostly boobless snoozer, to boot. Mostly.... |

Fred, Jen, and the American joke
March 3, 2010
They say that the comedy of one culture doesn’t export well to another, but if you ever try watching an American comedy with the foreign audio or subtitles on, it becomes pretty clear why some countries allegedly dismiss any joke that isn’t funny as an “American joke”.... |

Laetitia Casta topless at the 35th Cesar Film Awards
February 27, 2010
It’s been a long time since the world outside of France has seen model/actress Laetitia Casta, let alone Laetitia’s boobs. But thanks to her transparent number at the Cesar Film Awards today, it finally got to see both.... |

Enjoy the Love while it lasts
February 1, 2010
Now that Amanda Seyfried is moving on to bigger and better things, we’ll have to wait a lot longer for the occasional pokies, bare butt and sideboob like in last night’s Big Love.... |

One step forward, two boobs back
January 24, 2010
Five years ago, Jessica Paré was the First Lady on the critically acclaimed but short-lived Jack & Bobby. Very soon, she’ll be a nearly anonymous, naked tub toy in the upcoming Hot Tub Time Machine.... |
|

Meh
January 22, 2010
More and more, seeing the new Scarlett Johansson ads for Mango is like seeing a poster for a sequel to 300 in which all the famously ripped Spartans now have beer guts.... |

The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards: In case you had a life that evening
January 18, 2010
Some of us may be Ricky Gervais fans, some of us fans of this or that award nominee, but most of us who tuned in for the Golden Globes at all were probably just curious to see who showed up wearing what wardrobe-malfunction-prone dress. Here’s some of what you missed if you didn’t have the endurance to sit through the whole show.... |

Keeley Hazell to star in short film as Venus
January 16, 2010
International topless sensation Keeley Hazell will be boning up on her Latin to play Venus Passion of the Christ-style in the upcoming film short Venus and the Sun. The film’s only 15 minutes long — but if it’s done right, that should be more than most of us need.... |
|
 |
Big, naked love
January 13, 2010
I was as disappointed as anyone who watches Big Love to learn that busty, bug-eyed Amanda Seyfried would be leaving her base to pursue a career in film — especially if Mamma Mia! and Jennifer’s Body are any indication of what to expect. But if a film career for Amanda = nudity, as it does in the upcoming Chloe, I suppose I’ll be willing to suspend judgement for a bit.... |

Michelle Williams bikini photos in the meantime

Time-traveling with Tara Reid and Playboy
December 18, 2009
“Once you jack off to Japanese girls puking in each other’s mouths, you can’t exactly go back to Playboy” Stan’s dad explains in a 2008 episode of South Park in which the Internet disappears. It looks like Tara Reid’s hoping that the rest of us have no Internet connection, either.... |

A vacation for Sofía Vergara is a vacation for all of us

Keeley Hazell is more comfortable in her own skin than most
November 18, 2009
PETA has a long and illustrious history of print ads featuring strategically naked celebrities who’d rather go naked than wear fur; one more is hardly news. Until recently, that is, when the the animal rights organization upped the ante and offered an actual naked celebrity for the cause: topless model Keeley Hazell.... |

Dollhouse R.I.P.

Big Day Redux

Sometimes life surpasses art: Big Day got annulled after just one season, but the real-life nuptials of memorably pneumatic Marla Sokoloff, which took place this weekend, were definitely worth watching.... |

Settle down
November 4, 2009
So topless model Kelly Brook is taking Jerry Hall’s place in the stage adaptation of the 2008 film Calendar Girls, and the article about it that doesn’t shout some variation of “KELLY BROOK COMPLETELY NAKED IN CALENDAR GIRLS” can scant be found. But don’t book your flight to London just yet.... |

Scarlett Johansson’s boobs get lost in translation
October 22, 2009
In The Last Temptation of Christ, an angelic Satan assures Jesus that “there is only one woman in the world, with different faces”. More and more, that One Woman seems content to use Scarlett Johansson’s face alone, whether as “the new face of Mango” or “the first celebrity face of champagne”. But not so much Scarlett’s famous physique. The reason for this dearth of décolletage? As became clear in Tokyo a couple of days ago, Scarlett’s face is all she has left.... |

Erika Christensen on Lie to Me: The pix are in
September 30, 2009
So how was Erika Christensen’s juggy appearance on Lie to Me? “Real” and “spectacular” come to mind, in the Seinfeldian use of the words. But I’m glad she’s not a regular.... |

Eliza Dushku’s nipples aren’t where you’d expect them to be
September 23, 2009
So it’s go time for season 2 of Dollhouse, and for those of us who forgot about it since Eliza Dushku’s FHM spread, Eliza’s back in Complex to remind us with even more cleavage than before. And more nipple. Depending on where you look for them.... |

Leelee Sobieski’s new role as mother is still straight-to-DVD
September 16, 2009
Leelee Sobieski, the 26-year-old actress famous mostly for having been expected to be famous ten years ago — and for having a great rack that somehow slipped out at the Directors Guild of America Awards without any photos leaking out — has been knocked up by her fashion designer fiancé, Adam Kimmel.... |

Meaty Aphrodite
September 8, 2009
If you haven’t seen Mira Sorvino in a while, you’ll probably be as surprised as I was to behold these photos of her new physique at the Like Dandelion Dust premiere, in which her gravure idol-like bosom appears to be larger than her ribcage can support.... |
|
 |
Crap, now I have to watch Lie to Me
September 2, 2009
In light of those suspicious “leaks” of nude Vanessa Hudgens photos shortly before two of her movies, I suppose I should have thought to look up Erika Christensen to learn why her bikini-clad bosom made such an unexpected appearance on Twitter recently.... |

Jennifer Tilly takes her poker-distracting rack for a dip
August 25, 2009
We’ve seen Jennifer Tilly’s copious cleavage on the brink of spilling out of her dress wherever she goes; we’ve seen it in all its naked splendor in films like Shadow of the Wolf, The Getaway, Dancing at the Blue Iguana, Fast Sofa, and Hollywood North. And now, from St. Tropez, comes the one thing we haven’t seen it in: a swimsuit.... |

Kelly Brook: Loaded or full of it?
August 25, 2009
Every now and then I read about this or that Apple ad being pulled from circulation in Britain on account of the “truth in advertising” laws in that country being stricter than they are here in the States. Apparently, however, such laws don’t apply to men’s magazines.... |

Heather Graham in a bikini < Heather Graham in a slutty dress
August 8, 2009
I’ve said before that Heather Graham is at that age where she generally looks best in a bra. After seeing these new bikini photos and video from Barcelona, I should probably add that she also looks better in a dress.... |

Jessica Alba back on the beach
August 2, 2009
When your whole job is basically being hot, is it any wonder that so much of Jessica Alba’s best work continues to be not her movies, but bikini photos taken by stalkerazzi?... |

Oh that’s right — Dollhouse didn’t get cancelled
July 28, 2009
Yup, it’s that time again, when increasingly more of legitimate Hollywood comes out to Comic-Cannes to win the hearts and minds of a convention center full of skeptical Comic Book Guys from The Simpsons. It’s also when the Girl in any upcoming movie or TV show will turn up half-dressed and a cup size bigger than usual in magazines like FHM and Maxim. This time around: Eliza Dushku, who’s here to remind us — through the universal language of lingerie — that Dollhouse will be back on the air soon.... |

Kelly Brook, back in her bikini as God intended
July 25, 2009
It’s been a whole month since Kelly Brook and her Vivacious spokesboobs have been out in public, and some of us have been left waiting like a cargo cult ever since for their return. But thanks to the beach-trolling paparazzi of southern France, that wait is finally over.... |

The devil in Miss Joanna

Scarlett Johansson is the new face of Mango — but where’s the body?
July 13, 2009
Actress and de facto model Scarlett Johansson was christened the new face of Mango at a photo call today. Some photos from the upcoming campaign have already come out — but as anyone from L’Oreal to grabby-handed Isaac Mizrahi can tell you, something big is missing from them.... |

The Prodigal Boob Returns
July 5, 2009
There’s been a lot of grumbling here in the U.S. that the messianic era of change promised by the current administration has proven to be a bust. But yesterday seldom sober Tara Reid showed the nation that change is still possible — and, coincidentally, it involved her bust.... |

Renee Olstead’s buoyant bosom raises hopes for Congo
June 29, 2009
There are many things civil war has left the Congolese bereft of for too long: food, medicine, stability ... and, apparently, brow-raising boobs. Thank God for Renee Olstead, then, who was able to provide one of those items yesterday at the Raise Hope for Congo event. I’ll leave it to the Reader to divine which one.... |

“Untitled Bounty Hunter Project” to premiere ... now
June 23, 2009
Despite all the criticism that Hollywood’s economic woes have more to do with the dreck it keeps serving up than movie piracy or the ailing economy, there are some good movies out there — even nowadays. Is Jennifer Aniston’s “Untitled Bounty Hunter Project” one of them? Who cares? Snaps of Jennifer on the set in tight tops are out now, which is all most of us are interested in seeing from her anyway.... |

A nipple is a terrible thing to waste
June 19, 2009
Much attention has been paid to Heather Graham’s recent pokey appearance at the UK premiere of The Hangover, but Christina Ricci, too, has a history of rolling with her high beams on, as she did last night at the premiere of Paper Man... |

Nice rack on that broomstick!

Pieces of Jennifer’s Body
June 13, 2009
It’s sad, but true: the older a celebrity gets, the less most of us remember why we like them. And with Friends having been off the air for quite a while now, it’s good that Jennifer Aniston gets out now and then to remind us why people watched that vapid show in the first place — boobs.... |

Better to Remain Silent and Thought a Fool...
June 11, 2009
Ever notice how the threat of land sharks hasn’t been mentioned much since Saturday Night Live brought it to national attention in the 70s? That’s because their population has been dwindling ever since then, and is now at dangerously low levels. Luckily for the people of Oklahoma, Jessica Alba is on the case.... |

A Dish Best Served Chilly
June 11, 2009
Heather Graham is at that age and cup size where she generally looks best in a bra. But there’s something to be said for going commando, too — especially when it’s cold out — and that something was threatening to poke out the eyes of the paparazzi at the British premiere of The Hangover.... |

Kelly Brook On How To Smell Like You Have E-Cups
June 7, 2009
What separates British model/actress Kelly Brook’s “Vivacious” brand of perfume from other celebrity-endorsed perfumes? According to her official site’s recently posted infomercial, packaging. And if by that she means the famously ample curves she uses to sell her invisible product, then there may be such a thing as truth in advertising after all.... |

The Spirit of Laetitia Casta
June 4, 2009
To be hot in Italy is to inevitably invite comparison to Sophia Loren; to be hot in France is to be hailed as the new Brigitte Bardot. Semi-retired supermodel Laetitia Casta, whose face and boobs have already stood in for Bardot’s in the form of France’s “Marianne” busts, will now be channeling the rest of her on the big screen.... |

Heather Graham’s Boobs Are Still a Bankable Commodity
May 30, 2009
Not every movie can be a winner, especially if your’re Heather Graham, who hasn’t been in anything of note for nearly a decade now. But sometimes the best part about movies — especially the independent ones few will ever see — are the endless boob-centered photo ops used to promote them. And in Heather’s case, the thumbs are still up. Mostly.... |

The Secret Life of Renee Olstead
May 29, 2009
Much has been made in the press about the growing crop of dangerously malnourished actresses in Hollywood, and the cliché is that the business itself pressures them to starve themselves like that. But I’m starting to think that this same body-image obsessed business pressured emaciated Renee Olstead to gain weight last year.... |

February 18, 2009

The end has been nigh for Eliza Dushku ever since Buffy went off the air, but now, after five years of false starts, she’s finally seen the light and found her true calling: topless object of meat-beating veneration, as the handful of people who went to see The Alphabet Killer now know.... |

More “Scarlett Johansson Nude” Hype
February 7, 2008
When The Black Dahlia was being promoted, there was a story put out that “critics have complained they found it difficult to concentrate following [Scarlett’s] raunchy scene”. That turned out to be a load of B.S. Now a similar story is being floated in Page Six to stir up interest in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. How many times do they expect us to keep buying this?... |

As a huge, dorky fanboy of hers ever since The Doom Generation, I didn’t want to believe this, but now the days of kidding myself are officially over: The disturbingly artificial look of Rose McGowan’s face of late is not a side effect of really bad diet, but really bad surgery.... |

Anyone who thinks that Hilary Duff is an empty-headed Barbie Doll whose fifteen minutes have long since expired must stand corrected: Very soon there’ll be an actual empty-headed Barbie Doll made in Hilary Duff’s likeness — The Red Carpet Glam Hilary Duff Doll — to prove to the world once and for all that, technically, we’ve all been wrong about her.... |

New Children To Be Bussed In For Angelina
December 14, 2006
Just when U.S. colleges are starting to abandon their long-standing affirmative action programs for admissions, Angelina Jolie has declared that she wants to adopt more children on the basis of race to balance out her “mixed-race family”, predicting that her Asian and African children will be unable to relate to anyone else in the family who isn’t also Asian or African.... |

Angelina Speaks Out On Brad, Jennifer, And All That
December 12, 2006
In another plug for an upcoming film treated as a startling exposé, Vogue magazine finally reveals what Angelina Jolie has repeatedly told everyone else since filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith: that everything was above board with her and Brad while he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. At last the official truth comes out ... again.... |

The Fast and the Bi-Curious
November 15, 2006
Well, well, well. Turns out those Bloodrayne rumors were true after all: babehound Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3, The “L” Word) recently told The Advocate that she and what she jokingly referred to as “the very hot housekeeper” (i.e., Michelle Rodriguez) are indeed an item.... |

Disappearance Act

Six Degrees of Cancelation
November 9, 2006
I love watching Erika Christensen and her eye-popping physique as much as the next breast-obsessed perv, but though I’ve TiVoed every episode of Six Degrees that’s aired so far, I still haven’t found motivation enough to actually sit down and watch them. Apparently no one else has, either.... |

Jeri’s Conversation Pieces
October 31, 2006
Shark might be one of the worst shows on the tube right now, and given how quickly other, less crappy shows have already been pulled off the air recently, I’m surprised Jeri Ryan had opportunity comment on the role her boobs play on the set.... |

Reese, Ryan, and The Seven Year Itch
October 30, 2006
It’s been announced today that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have formally separated after seven years of marriage. Which is a pretty good run for marriages these days — especially Hollywood marriages — and if there’s any surprise, it’s that it didn’t happen sooner.... |

Scarlett Does Tom Waits
October 17, 2006
Don’t get me wrong — like most of the world, I love Scarlett Johansson. And like some of the world, I love Tom Waits. But like most of the world, while I accept it when someone famous as a singer decides to act (as when Tom Waits does), I usually roll my eyes whenever someone more famous as an actor decides to sing (Bruce Willis, Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves, Kevin Bacon, and, more recently and laughably, Jared Leto).... |

Tomayto, Tomahto, And Promiscuity
October 10, 2006
Chris Rock used to say in his act that, in relationships, people are “as loyal as their options”.

The Black Dahlia
September 15, 2006
The tedious, convoluted adaptation of James Ellroy’s novel, starring Josh Hartnett, Aaron Eckhart, Mia Kirshner, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank (in a role wisely turned down by Eva Green), Rose McGowan (the film’s stand-out weak acting link), and a ton of others, opens today.... |

Wild On Baywatch
August 22, 2006
On the one hand, in the spirit of the Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt experiment in eugenics, I suppose it’s only fitting that the Hot Chick of Wild On! be paired and bred with the Hot Dude of Baywatch — but on the other hand, didn’t Brooke Burke just divorce her last husband (plastic surgeon Garth Fisher, with whom she has two kids) not more than a year ago?... |

Rose McGowan To Be in Grindhouse
August 9, 2006
I’m not sure what Snakes on a Plane’s chances are of becoming the cult classic internet pre-fans want it to be, but from the very little I’ve heard of Grindhouse — which features Rose McGowan killing people with a prosthetic machine gun leg — the Tarantino-Rodriguez double-feature horror flick seems destined for b-movie immortality when it opens next April.... |

Failing Upward
July 30, 2006
A couple days ago, I read an article in Entertainment Weekly’s “Popwatch” about actors with “failing upward syndrome” — that is, actors who, despite their lack of hit movies to sustain any sort of fan base, continue to be handed bigger and better roles until Hollywood finally gives up on trying to prop them up as The Next Big Thing. Some of the names listed provoke little argument: Gretchen Mol, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Matthew McConaughey, Colin Farrell. One, namely Winona Ryder, gave me pause before I conceded (Heathers was a long, long time ago, after all). But Scarlett Johansson? Can it be true?... |

So Dull the Con of Man
May 19, 2006
When I heard that Ron Howard was going to direct The Da Vinci Code, I didn’t give it a second thought — he is, as everyone knows, an award-winning director. But having now seen the film, I have to wonder how it happened that Howard was picked for the job; his résumé, after all, doesn’t have much in the way of thrillers, and boy was that fact evident today.... |

Thank You for Smoking
April 22, 2006
Today I finally got around to seeing Thank You for Smoking, a satirical comedy about the machinations of a man who spins for the tobacco industry while trying to stay a role-model for his twelve-year-old kid. Insofar as this was reportedly a witty comedy, I couldn’t help thinking about Ridicule, another reportedly witty film, for in both movies the protagonists seem remarkably clever only because everyone else in the movie is thick. Thank You for Smoking is funny enough, I suppose, but a film like this really should be wittier.... |

When the Girl Next Door Has a Lawyer
March 1, 2006
When I heard that Jessica Alba was going to be in the next issue of Playboy, I was skeptical — an Australian article I read last December reported that she won’t even do Maxim anymore, let alone Playboy, as she has become disenchanted with her status as a sex icon. And despite her appearance on the cover, it looks like the skeptics were right.... |

The Jessica Alba Reality Show
January 28, 2006
Let’s be honest: As beautiful as Jessica Alba on film might be, she doesn’t really have the curves to capture the public’s libidinous attentions the way, say, Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson have. But as paparazzi have been demonstrating over the last year, she can be a lot hotter than one might have thought possible when she thinks no one’s watching:... |

Michelle Williams in Brokeback Mountain
December 18, 2005
Well, anyone with a TV, radio, or internet connection has by now been inundated with glowing reviews of Brokeback Mountain. But apart from Ang Lee’s latest offering being an excellent film, it also handily demonstrates two things that haven’t been getting much play in the press:... |

Once More, With Feeling
December 7, 2005
I hadn’t heard much about the Valerie Bertinelli-Eddie Van Halen thing since she left him in 2002 (they were separated in October of 2001), but apparently the move didn’t really take until yesterday, when Valerie’s publicist confirmed that the estranged couple are now officially divorced on account of the usual “irreconcilable differences”.... |

I think most of the world has reached this conclusion already, but now that Hilary Duff is 18 and can legally get naked on film, she’s also gotten offputtingly emaciated — and, to be honest, as scary-ugly as her sister. The pair of them will now officially be rooming with the Olsen twins in the Phantom Zone of Irrelevance.... |

Scarlett Distracted in Traffic By Her Own Breasts
July 30, 2005
Cleavage is an amazing thing. I was once in an Albertsons that practically shut down when a stripper strode in to get her groceries, for though her face was weathered and, quite frankly, a little rough on the eyes, her fake boobs were bouncing about so violently as she walked that they threatened to spill out of her skimpy spandex top with every stride, and men and women alike stopped dead in their tracks to furtively take in the show while pretending to look at something else. Apparently even the owners of such show-stopping boobs are not immune to their power.... |

The Island
July 22, 2005
The Island is basically Logan’s Run meets Coma: A sterile, sexless society of unwitting body part donors lives in blissful ignorance while waiting to win transportation out of their brave, dull world to the paradisiacal “Island”, the leadership’s cover for their sinister organ-snatching program. That is, until one clone (Ewan McGregor) discovers the Awful Truth and makes a two-hour, action-packed run for it, taking his supermodel platonic friend (Scarlett Johansson) with him.... |

Fantastic Four
July 8, 2005
The hype for this movie has been so intense and pervasive that even I was beginning to accept that Fantastic Four was already an established pop-cultural landmark before the film was even released, despite the glaringly iffy look and vibe of the trailer. Predictably enough, the general consensus among critics and user comments on the web is that this film is pretty damn awful, especially if you’ve read the comics. So when I finally got around to seeing the movie myself, I was expecting just that.... |

And the Winner Is...

Not that she needs the cash (she has half of ex-husband and The Simpsons writer/producer Sam Simon’s money, after all) but Jennifer Tilly beat out 600 professional players in a two-day competition and won the Ladies no-limit Texas Hold ’Em event at the World Series of Poker — the first time a celebrity ever won an event at the tournament.... |

Fantastic Two
June 4, 2005
Jessica Alba may be determined never to work nude in movies, but plugging for movies is apparently another matter: The former Dark Angel finally shed some light on two of her hitherto unseen assets yesterday at the MTV Movie Awards in an Emperor’s-New-Clothes type dress reminiscent of Rose McGowan’s fishnet ensemble at the same event seven years earlier. You can see what all the fuss is about here in the Sacred Pics gallery.... |

Sin City
April 21, 2005
It’s Don Quixote meets Pulp Fiction: Three (or so) interweaving and ultra-violent tales of a directionless, burnt-out thug on parole, a directionless, burnt-out cop on the verge of retirement, and a directionless, burnt-out death row escapee who independently seek redemption and meaning by avenging or protecting the fallen women who for a fleeting moment made their lives worthwhile. Stylishly adapted with gory exuberance by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino from the stylishly bloody graphic novels of Frank Miller.... |

Stacked
April 13, 2005
It’s been a long time since Pamela Anderson’s been on the tube in something other than a cameo, game show, or cartoon voice — quite frankly, I didn’t think there was much else in the cards for her — so it was fun in a nostalgic sort of way to see that she’d beaten the odds (and the hep C, to boot, she says) and gotten herself back on the air.... |

February 25, 2005
A fitting title for a werewolf flick whose pedigree so clearly includes Scream, An American Werewolf in London and a little Ginger Snaps, but whose writing lacks the cleverness of any of them.

Kari’s Career Gets Hospitalized
February 15, 2005
Usually actors claw their way out of soap opera hell and on to film once their career momentum allows for it, but with smaller boobs come fewer choices for an actress whose career was built largely on those very boobs, which is how Kari Wuhrer’s career has come to an inglorious convalescence as a regular on the ancient set of General Hospital.... |

Alexander
November 24, 2004
Oliver Stone’s surprisingly so-so costume drama with Collin Farrell (looking a bit like a surfer dude), Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto, Rosario Dawson, and Anthony Hopkins opens today. While it’s not properly terrible, it’s definitely a disappointment — and in some ways a bit of a mess: One gets the sense that it was conceived in chronological order and then scrambled in the editing room to give it a JFK/Nixon vibe.... |

Unemployment as the Greatest Career Aphrodisiac

Mary-Kate, Ashley, and Now Amanda
October 7, 2004
It’s not really surprising, I guess: As of today’s TRL, what we all liked about What I Like About You star Amanda Bynes has been starved out of her and flushed down the toilet along with most everything she’s eaten in the last few months, leaving only the unsettling Olsen twin-like shell of her former self behind.... |

Carla to Be in Film Adaptation of Sin City
September 10, 2004
I’m not at all familiar with Frank Miller’s Sin City comic (or graphic novel, or whatever) and so have no idea what to expect from the upcoming movie, but whether or not it’s anywhere as good as, say, Miller’s Elektra Assassin (with which I am familiar) hardly matters as far as Carla Gugino fans are concerned, as it’ll be the first film she takes her top off in since 1998. About time, too, now that the Spy Kids thing has pretty much dried up.... |

Winona’s Sentence Gets Five-Fingered Discount
June 21, 2004
An American judge is a lot like a shopkeeper in a bazaar in that any sentence he hands down is rarely taken seriously but is really only the first offer, to be negotiated down later.... |

The Great Pretender
June 17, 2004
To see Lauren Graham in interviews is to wonder just how much “acting” she really does on that show, as the giggling, effervescent actress seems indistinguishable from her giggling, effervescent character. To see her playing poker on Bravo’s Celebrity Poker Showdown, however, is to finally catch a tiny glimpse of the real Lauren, the ice-blooded, wheels-and-gears mastermind she keeps hidden behind her disarming “belly buttons are cool” façade. If you missed the show, you can see the clips here.... |

Jennifer Back On TV ... Sort Of

What the...?
May 17, 2004
While I don’t know for certain yet, I’d say that from the look of the last photo I added to the picture gallery (#473), either there have been some remarkable advances in wonderbra technology or Tara Reid has had a little work done. Maybe a lot of work done.... |

No Money for The Girl Next Door, Either
April 12, 2004
Granted, no one expected that The Girl Next Door would be pulling in The Passion of the Christ money, but with a measly six million dollar weekend gross, I think it’s safe to say that word got out that there’s no nudity in this picture about a porn star, that The Girl Next Door is an un-risqué ripoff of Risky Business.... |

No Nudity for The Girl Next Door
April 7, 2004
When an AP entertainment writer observed that the closest thing to nudity in The Girl Next Door — a film in which Elisha Cuthbert plays a porn star — was a scene in which her neighbor sees her bare back as she peels off her top, Elisha replied, “That’s as far as I’ve pushed it as far as nudity goes — and probably, that’s about as far as it will go for me.” In this new era of “wardrobe malfunction” hysteria and government-led jihads against obscenity, I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more potentially topless actresses insisting on keeping their clothes on.... |

Scarlett Says No to Nudity
March 21, 2004
Even without her famous panties performance last year in Lost in Translation, it’s hardly surprising that Scarlett Johansson would be asked by one and all about the possibility of screen nudity now that she’s of age. But for the time being, at least, the prospects aren’t good — but not hopeless.... |

Taking Lives

Angelina Jolie’s new thriller opens today. While neither especially good nor especially bad, Angelina looks great in it (if a little underfed), and serves up a brief (and completely gratuitous) nude scene to boot.... |

Sapphist Realism
March 1, 2004
Since it debuted on Showtime, there’s been a lot of noise about The “L” Word — one hears mention of it in everything from Leno to Gilmore Girls. But every reference I’ve heard thus far is a reference only to the show’s premise — not to any specific incident, character, or memorable line — which suggests that while everyone’s heard of the show, not many are actually watching it.... |

Monica in The Passion of the Christ
February 25, 2004
Start brushing up on your Aramaic — Mel Gibson may have removed the much ballyhooed controversial line from his new Jesus flick (The Passion of the Christ, which hits theaters today) after it tested poorly with focus groups, but Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene is still in it.... |

White Christmas Lies
November 26, 2003
It seems that Lauren Graham was a wee misleading in her interview with Kilborn — she’s in a love scene alright, but there’s no nudity. Anyone planning to see Bad Santa for no other reason but to see the naughty side of Lorelai will be sorely disappointed. Funny movie, though.... |

Bait and Switch
October 27, 2003
For a show that’s been trying to sex things up more and more (usually the sign of a show that’s in danger of not getting renewed), it’s made precious little use of Nikki Cox, it’s bustiest cast member, who not only never appears in anything particularly alluring, but seldom appears at all. One is reminded of the ill-fated The $treet, which billed itself as Wallstreet with lots of sex and Jennifer Connelly, but in fact delivered little of either.... |

Paris Restored

The Looting of Paris

The Station Agent
October 3, 2003
Not the post-Dawson hooterfest I was half-hoping for — and Michelle Williams is hardly in it, to boot — but a good, fun film nonetheless, one that I’d be tempted to see again if I didn’t have to drive so damn far away to see it.... |

Of Boobs And Bynes
September 14, 2003
For someone who apparently doesn’t want her career to rest primarily on her sex appeal (“I respect actresses who are not like, ‘I’m an adult now — here are my boobs’”), it’s a rare photo of Amanda Bynes where she’s dressed in something that doesn’t say “here are my boobs”, to say nothing of the pants and skirts she wears that barely clear her pubic region.... |

Another Chance
September 5, 2003
By rights, starring in two quickly canceled shows is enough to be permanently put out to pasture. Unless, of course, you’re built like Nikki Cox, in which case the roles keep coming. It’s just that most of them are for “whore”. Can’t imagine why.... |

The O.C.
September 1, 2003
Though an Orange County native myself, I must confess that I don’t really recognize much from The O.C. as being particularly or authentically “O.C.” — nor have I (nor anyone I’ve known) ever referred to the over-sized strip mall that is Orange County as “The O.C.” Near as I can figure, the term — as far as Melinda Clarke is concerned, anyway — must come from the Latin occasio caelestis, or “lucky break from heaven”.... |

Desperado 2
August 23, 2003
There are the films you make because you passionately believe in them (as Salma Hayek did in Frida, though the movie proved to be mediocre), there are the films you do because you couldn’t get anything else, and then there are the films you do because the director feels you owe him.... |

Premature Praise

Hell Hath No Fury
August 7, 2003
Appearing on David Letterman to promote Uptown Girls, Brittany Murphy, who had until recently been dating her Just Married co-star Ashton Kutcher, offered some insight into Aston’s current relationship with Demi Moore: “I think what it says on his part is that age isn’t important, and on her part, that size isn’t important.” Assuming that line wasn’t fed to her by Letterman’s writers, she might have a viable career in punching up scripts if ever she gets bored of acting.... |

Angelina Jolie & Nic Cage — Done in 60 Seconds
June 26, 2003
As far as I know, Angelina Jolie met Nicolas Cage on the set of Gone in 60 Seconds, which is about how long this rumored relationship is likely to last. As Entertainment Weekly put it: “The rumor is that these two are an item. Because they enjoy the same things — short, intense relationships with acrimonious, headline-grabbing breakups.”... |

The Importance of Being Blonde
June 5, 2003
Damn, what a difference a dye-job can make! Since she’s gone blonde and lost some weight (to the point that she looks like she needs to ease up on the coke), Brittany Murphy has gone from relative obscurity to starring in almost every movie these days (and dating all her co-stars), and has partied up such an E! True Hollywood Stories-type storm that she felt compelled to explain in a Cosmo interview that she’s not nearly as out of control as everyone says she is. (Indeed, when Eminem dumps you for being too out of control, you know you’ve got a serious problem.)... |

The Brown Bunny
May 10, 2003
By now you may have heard the buzz about The Brown Bunny — it’s terrible, they say, but Chloë Sevigny is not only naked in it, but goes where Maruschka Detmers (in The Devil in the Flesh), Tatsuya Fuji (in In the Realm of the Senses), and few others in more-or-less mainstream movies have dared go before: she performs explicit oral sex on someone (in this case, Vincent Gallo).... |
|

Monica in The Matrix Reloaded
May 7, 2003
Despite my earlier, more hopeful forecast, The Matrix Reloaded may not do that much for Monica Bellucci after all — the movie, while bristling with all the nifty special effects one could want from a Matrix sequel, was otherwise pretty empty and unlikely to have the pop cultural impact the first Matrix had. Moreover, Monica’s character was not especially memorable ... or necessary.... |

Best Episode Ever ... But Who’s Watching?
March 11, 2003
Well, despite all predictions (including my own), Gilmore Girls remains on the air after three seasons (I think) — and I couldn’t be happier. Especially after last week’s episode, which saw not only what was probably Liza Weil’s best performance ever, but the best performance of the entire series as well.... |

The Sleeping Dictionary Awakes ... Sort Of
February 18, 2003

Return of the Golden Globes
January 19, 2003
After all the flak she got for last year’s emaciated appearance at the Academy Awards, Jennifer Connelly seemed to have been putting the weight back in all the right places at this year’s Golden Globes (where she presented for Best Musical/Comedy), passing her Worst Dressed/Most Undernourished award to Lara Flynn Boyle.... |

Wrong and Loving It
December 28, 2002
Well, I never thought I’d see the day, but not only is Gilmore Girls still on the air (and thank God, too, because as smarmy as the show often is, I’ve gotten hooked on the damned thing), but Lauren Graham reported on Kilborn last night that she has a nude scene in Bad Santa (directed by Ghost World’s Terry Zwigoff) with, of all people, Billy Bob Thornton. Christmas, it seems, is certainly a time of miracles.... |

Sizing Up Elisha
December 16, 2002
The information I got when I first set up this page is that Elisha Cuthbert stands 5'6" tall, but according to someone who says he saw her at the Last Call with Carson Daly taping, she isn’t more than 5'2". That’s the trouble with the net: real facts are so hard to come by. [It doesn’t help that Elisha herself is skittish about revealing her true height, as she showed herself to be on Craig Kilborn on the 26th.]... |

Saks Appeal
November 7, 2002
Say what you will about how Winona Ryder’s Saks adventure turned out, but one good thing that seems to have come as a result of the trial and all the sudden public scrutiny that came with it is that Winona, as might be expected of any cornered actress, seems to have abandoned her asexual pixie look (at least for the time being) in favor of longer hair and generous cleavage, at long last embracing, however half-heartedly, her stifled Hot Chick persona.... |

Still Spastic After All These Years
October 22, 2002
It’s been a while now since I’ve even thought of Kerri Kendall or her truculent, scamming webmaster — it’s hard to stay a fan of someone whose representative is so nakedly and unpleasantly avaricious — so I’ve been pretty much out of the know as far as Kerri’s goings on are concerned. But the still-curious will be delighted to know that the Kerri and Mike business has been going just as one would expect it to:... |

On the Dave Letterman show, Salma Hayek once related a story about how she prayed at a miracle shrine for a photo-friendly rack when she was a kid, and how she was eventually granted her humble request.

Now that the smoke’s cleared from all the bombs Leelee Sobieski dropped on Hollywood last year, we all have time to reflect on just what it was that the critics all saw in Leelee that the rest of the U.S. did not, and why the buzz that surrounded her when Joan of Arc aired has pretty much disappeared.... |

Whenever a movie tanks, film studios are often quick to say that the problem isn’t so much that the movie simply sucks as that the public has lost interest in the movie’s star.

From Contrived Bitch to Lovable Psycho

As much as critics used to goof on Dawson’s Creek for its high school characters who all talk like 30-year-old script writers in therapy, most people nevertheless seemed to like the age-inappropriate dialog along with the rest of the show. The same hasn’t been true, though, for the dialog-intensive Gilmore Girls, in which even the lowlifes are better read than most literature professors and everyone talks like they’re in The House of Yes.... |

It’s Good to Be the Queen
December 15, 2001
After OJ was cleared of the murder charge, some people wondered if any evidence short of a video tape of the crime would be enough to convict a celebrity.

Ordinarily I’d say that still doesn’t change anything as far as Leelee’s career goes anymore than a new Janeane Garofalo theatrical release is likely to make Janeane a major player, but I’m beginning to think that the constant mention of her name on TV through the trailers and talk show appearances is starting to weave “some pig” over her stall whether or not any of her new films do well at the box office.... |

Boston Public
October 1, 2001
Well, the good news is that Jeri Ryan fans can still get a fix on Fox’s high school melodrama Boston Public (is there no one on that show who isn’t boffing their students?). The bad news is that Jeri’s days of Shannon Tweed-esque cable debauchery have been moved back a few years.... |

Charmed

Hollywood is like a vast interrogation room in that anything you say can and will be used against you later on in your career — unless you’re too small a star like Rose McGowan to matter.... |

Before You Email Me...
September 25, 2001
A lot of people have been emailing me objecting to my little comments about Leelee Sobieski, the complaints usually centering on one of two themes: (1) How dare I suggest that Leelee is anything less than drop dead gorgeous? (2) How dare I suggest that Leelee’s career will be more familiar to video renters than moviegoers unless her top comes off?... |

Prozac Nation
September 15, 2001
The movie hasn’t come out yet (it’s forever being pushed back), but juicy stills are starting to leak out — I’m happy to report that the day some of us thought would never come has come at last: Christina Ricci has finally unveiled her two biggest and most enduring assets on film in her first nude scene.... |

Another Show Killed by New Hair?
September 15, 2001
Well, after a season of the new do, it looks like Friends aren’t forever after all. And with Rock Star not exactly setting the world on fire, one has to wonder how long it will be before Jennifer Aniston permanently disappears into the same black hole that swallowed Roseanne and Jerry Seinfeld.... |

How much longer will Shannon Elizabeth be able to keep her clothes on and still find work?... |

Hitting the Wall at 25?
August 20, 2001
Perhaps it’s the pressure of being questioned by everyone about Elizabeth Grubman’s lethal driving, or perhaps she’s having trouble recovering from the Carson Daly thing, but Tara Reid’s starting to look a little ... undead. She was cute in American Pie, but by American Pie 2 some crucial ingredients seemed to be missing, and now she just looks downright unhealthy.... |

Ghost World
August 18, 2001
It’s not often that I can say this about someone on this site, but it looks like Thora Birch has beaten the odds and made another really good movie.... |

Lessons from the Infelicitous Past
August 1, 2001
They say that those who forget the hairstyles of the past are doomed to repeat them — and low-rated Roswell is now more doomed than ever with newly shorn Katherine Heigl.... |

What a Difference a Couple Years Make
August 1, 2001
Gotta hand it to her — like Houdini, Helena Bonham-Carter somehow managed to unshackle herself from period fare like Frankenstein, Twelfth Night and Wings of the Dove and begin redefining her niche in Hollywood with films like Fight Club and Planet of the Apes. Not an easy feat for an actress as heavily typecast as she was.... |

Fate Works in Mysterious Ways
July 17, 2001
Given how this page got started, it may come as a surprise that my latest updates to the picture gallery and selection of articles came from none other than Sascha Knopf herself, who’s quite possibly the friendliest (and most good-humored) person featured on this site that I’ve been contacted by. (Stacia Zhivago was the previous record-holder.)... |

If You Can’t Beat ’Em...
July 1, 2001
In a business where a woman has to be unhealthily thin just to get an audition, Brittany Murphy has figured out how to beat the odds. Her secret? Why, a strict diet, of course — one apparently inspired by Al Pacino’s powdery last meal in Scarface.... |

Tomb Raider
June 23, 2001
Well, it finally happened — the much-hyped video game action flick made a killing it’s opening weekend, then dropped off exponentially once the mediocrity of the film became widely known, but Angelina Jolie, everyone’s favorite nutty sexpot, is now officially a Big Star.... |

Finally...
June 8, 2001
Look, everyone loves a drunken party girl now and then. They can be fun to go out with, fun to read about, and, for some people, fun to date — especially if you’re in a hurry to fill the vacancy left by Jennifer Love Hewitt.... |

Politically Incorrect

Brooke Burke was on an episode of Politically Incorrect a while ago and, much to my surprise, came off as a sensible and articulate person — not the empty-headed cue-card reader I was expecting at all.... |

Angel

Well I’ll be damned. It seems that Brigid Brannagh has officially emerged from the ranks of the Hollywood undead and now has a semi-regular gig on the WB’s Angel. Who’da thought?... |

A Trip to the Cheesecake Factory
February 5, 2001
I’ve lost track of how many years we’ve all been waiting for something like this, but Nikki Cox, the bride of Bobcat (!), has finally done a spread for a major magazine — in this case, Gear.... |

Roll for Damage

Well, the verdict is in: Never, but never let someone direct a film chiefly because that person was a huge fan of the material.... |

Jennifer’s Stock Plummets Again
December 8, 2000
It was a hopeful few weeks, but Fox is finally closing down its ratings road less travelled, the much-hyped but very dull series The $treet. And good riddance, too. Serves them right for selling the show based on steamy sex scenes it never really had and making Jennifer Connelly the poster girl when she was scarcely in the thing.... |

Coroner’s Report
October 8, 2000
I don’t remember it standing out so much in Starship Troopers or Wild Things, but when I finally got around to watching The World Is Not Enough on cable, the ugly truth was too glaring to ignore: Beautiful though Denise Richards may be, the girl simply cannot act.... |

The Second Coming of Jennifer
September 1, 2000
Well, it’s taken a while, but at long last Jennifer Connelly has found a way to get a little more exposure beyond getting naked in films that no one will ever see — she’s got a prominent role on Fox’s The $treet.... |

Forced Disappearing Act
June 8, 2000
Well, the possibility of maintaining a Kerri Kendall picture archive unharrassed is looking more and more remote now, so for the time being (and possibly forever), the goodies here will have to be taken off the shelf. Sorry, folks.... |

More Than One Way to Skin a Site
June 7, 2000
It’s been the better part of a week since Mike Wilson’s last telephone tantrum regarding this site (that I know of), so I’m guessing that either the threat of a countersuit for spamming off my webhost’s server was more than he wanted to deal with, or someone finally explained to him the difficulties involved with suing for pictures that aren’t his.... |

The Rise of Angelina Jolie
January 20, 2000
Every now and then people ask me, “Why do you have people like Uma Thurman and Salma Hayek on your site? I thought ‘The Iconophile’ was all about obscure actresses.” It shouldn’t be long now before they start asking me the same thing about Angelina Jolie.... |

How Did They Ever?
June 15, 1999
It didn’t occur to me when I first set up this page, but someone recently pointed out that Christi Harris was only 15 (or 16 at most) when she shot her nude scenes in Night of the Demons 2 (the film was released well after it was shot, for those of you doing the math) — and only a year older for Night of the Scarecrow.... |
