Canadian Goodness with Tanja Reichert
Canadian actress Tanja Reichert had a small part in a 2006 movie called The Iron Man (not to be confused with the big budget blockbuster-in-the-making that’s about to come out), in which she plays a character called “Dream Girl”, and you know what? That’s just good casting. If Tanja Reichert is anything, she would definitely qualify as a “dream girl”. After that bit role, our Vancouver native migrated to the TV series “Wicked Wicked Games”, which as far as I know, has been canceled — or maybe not. This is yet another one of those times where a quick tour of Google would solve the problem for me, but being that I am incredibly lazy — eh, cancel, not cancel, same difference, right? What I’m trying to say is, Tanja Reichert is someone to watch in the future. Please to enjoy.
Random Supermodel of the Day: Candice Swanepoel
I know that Candice Swanepoel is a supermodel, and thus she fits in our Random Supermodel of the Day column, even though I can’t really find much in the way of a biography on her via the net. Two things are in Candice Swanepoel’s favor: 1) she’s a Victoria’s Secret supermodel, which basically guarantees her place in the supermodel pantheon, and 2) she looks really, really, REALLY good in lingerie. And come on, at the end of the day, isn’t that all that’s required of someone who calls themselves a supermodel? That they look so stunning in lingerie that seeing them makes you want to run out and buy some for your non-existent girlfriend? I know it has that effect on me!
Brit Babe Invasion: Seren Gibson
You gotta love a hot babe who also displays a cutting sense of humor and an uncanny sense of self-awareness. Take our Brit Babe for the day, Seren Gibson, who writes in her Myspace page: “Hello ladies and gentleman, I’m Seren - currently blagging my way through life with the attributes that are my breasts. This is all very wonderful and splendid for a bed hogging, jeremy kyle loving student like myself. My “jug money” making scheme started one very drunk and cold winters evening…” I mean, how cool is that! If Seren Gibson isn’t the coolest hot girl you’ve ever been introduced to, I dare you to show me another one.
The Effervescent Chyler Leigh
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: how is it that Chyler Leigh is not more famous than she currently is? Well nevermind that question, because it’s going to change now that Chyler has landed herself a cushy job on ABC’s mega hit Grey’s Anatomy. I still have no idea why this show is such a big hit, but then again, I have no idea how Dancing with the Stars is such a big hit, either, so what do I know. In any case, here’s Chyler Leigh showing off her effervescent self at the American Music Awards. I have yet to find anyone I know who saw the AMA, but I’m told it actually did take place. I’ll take their word for it, but I still have my doubts; I still think the whole thing was cooked up by the government for some evil purpose…
Deanna Russo is Knight Rider’s New Girlfriend
In case you haven’t been keeping track, but they’re coming out with a new Knight Rider TV show. No, it won’t star David Hasselhoff, although I hear The Hoff is in negotiations to guest star. Instead, the new Michael Knight (he won’t be named Michael Knight, of course), will be the son of the original Michael Knight, and Deanna Russo will be playing the love of his life/ex-girlfriend who brings Knight into the fold. Here’s a note: I hope they don’t turn Knight Rider into a gritty, grimy show like Battlestar Galactica, etc. That would just take the fun out of it. And as we all know, the only thing more fun than watching an episode of the new BSG is hanging yourself while watching Schindler’s List. Anyhoo. Here are some Deanna Russo to get you prepped for the new show.
MTV Cribs: The Homeless Version
Let’s face it: MTV Cribs is stupid. The only episode that I ever found worthwhile was one where some celebrity kids made fun of the show by having broken down versions of the crap that usually shows up on MTV Cribs, and acting like it was all top-of-the-line stuff. Now THAT was a funny episode. While I was searching YouTube for that particular episode, I stumbled across this MTV Cribs parody. I guess you can call it a homeless version of MTV Cribs, where a homeless man with barely any teeth takes the MTV Cribs camera (complete with gratuitous seasick motions, of course) through his “crib”, which happens to be underneath an overpass. Best part? His ride — a gold-plated shopping cart! No, I kid you not. It’s not the episode I was looking for, but it’s pretty damn funny anyway!
Latin Flavor: Rachel Sterling
On her myspace page, found here, our Latin Flavor of the day, Rachel Sterling, states about her television habits: “We watch “Good Day L.A.” every morning and ” I love lucy” and at night we watch “Talk Soup” I love that guy… I want to be that guy…i think I may be as funny as that guy…??” Um, Rachel, I don’t know if you can be as funny as that guy on that show, but you can definitely be as hot as you wanna be. Besides looking scrumpilicious (I’ve been told that is a word), she’s also an actress. Check out a commercial she did for Michael Crichton’s new novel “Next” below. And oh yeah, I think she’s doing something with the Pussycat Dolls.
Random Foreign Babe of the Day: Linda Kiraly
Another day, and another Random Foreign Babe of the Day whose last name I can’t even pronounce. Of course Linda Kiraly’s last name is a little easier to pronounce than some of the rest, probably because she was born in New York, but currently makes her living as a pop singer in Hungary. After who, who didn’t instantly fall in love with the blond lovely when she sang the title song from the movie Szerelem utolsó vérig? I know I did! Ahem. She’s been singing in Hungarian and English, and just released her second, and first full English-language album. The single off that one is “Can’t Let Go”, the music video of which you can check out below.
Gemma Atkinson in Maxim
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again — you can never have too much Gemma Atkinson. And if you disagree, you deserve a punch in the face. Or maybe just a really stern warning, seeing as how I don’t believe in violence, even if it is in defense of a really hot British woman with a hot British accent who looks really hot in lingerie. Basically, Gemma Atkinson is just really hot, such as in this latest spread in Maxim. Really, folks, I don’t know what they’re feeding the British girls across the pond, but they need to keep it up. This is how a woman should look. Please to enjoy some Gemma.
According to Kimberly Williams
The extremely pretty Kimberly Williams plays Dana on the ABC sitcom According to Jim, starring Jim Belushi as a fat slob married to a hot girl in Courtney Thorne-Smith. I believe it’s one of the Fat Guy Married to Skinny Hot Girl sitcoms that came out in the early 2000s that is still around. Mind you, not that I’m sure if the show is still around or anything, but I hadn’t heard if it was canceled, and to tell you the truth, I don’t really want to find out. The show is not all that funny, and the only time I ever watch it is if I’m channel surfing, and either Courtney Thorne-Smith or Kimberly Williams happens to be onscreen. Kimberly Williams plays the “unmarried sister” to the hot wife, a familiar character in all of these Fat Guy Married to Skinny Hot Girl sitcoms. In another five years or so, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kimberly Williams gets her own Fat Guy Married to Skinny Hot Girl sitcom, except this time she’ll be the Hot Girl. One can only hope.
Kellie Pickler at the American Music Awards
In case you didn’t hear, the American Music Awards was held last night. Or was it on Saturday? Eh, I don’t know, and I don’t think anyone cares, either. Seriously, folks, does anyone even still watches the American Music Awards? I didn’t think so. In any case, Kellie Pickler was there with her new bleach blonde do. I think that’s a new do. She’s always been a blonde, as far as I can recall, but I don’t think she’s ever been THIS blonde, if you know what I mean. In any case, Kellie Pickler has always been one of my favorite American Idol non-winners, and she still looks good here, although I’m not a big fan of the beach blonde look…
Carol Alt and the Big List of Celebrity Apprentice Candidates
We don’t care all that much for the Apprentice around these parts, and of course by “we” I’m talking about me, because my other personality Bob seems to enjoy it, and forces me to watch. Damn his bad taste in TV shows. In any case, you might have heard that Trump, in a desperate attempt to raise flagging ratings for his show, will be doing a celebrity version of his show The Apprentice. Obviously no one who shows up wants any job, it’s all a publicity stunt for pretty much everyone. Which is just fine with us, because come on, it means we get to see more of Carol Alt, who I’ve always had a crush on ever since she played the object of Howard Stern’s lust in “Private Parts”. Head on below to see the full list of Apprentice celebrity contestants.
Mike Huckabee is so Tough, Chuck Norris is Scared of Him
Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is so tough, even Chuck Norris is afraid of him, and you know damn well that Chuck Norris isn’t afraid of no man, living or dead, or somewhere in-between. It’s also probably because Huckabee is so tough that Chuck voluntarily did this endorsement video ad for him, even though we all know Huckabee doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning the election. You know what’s the funniest thing about this ad? Chuck is an actor (well sort of, you know what I mean), but his line reading is stilted as heck, while Huckabee is a politician, and his line delivery is as smooth as silk! Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Oh, Chuck, if I wasn’t afraid you would come to my house and beat the crap out of me, I’d call you silly. Here’s Chuck’s ad for Mike Huckabee.
Random Foreign Babe of the Day: Floortje Smit
Unlike their American counterparts, the foreign contestants of American Idol (Dutch Idol, German Idol, Pop Idol, etc) don’t seem to have very much trouble with showing up in men’s magazines barely clothed. Then again, we’re mostly talking about the losers here. Even Katharine McPhee actually lost American Idol, which sort of excuses her showing up in Maxim a little while back. I bring all that up to say this: Here’s Dutch Idol’s losing contestant Floortje Smit in the Dutch version of FHM magazine. I don’t know what’s the deal with the skates; I guess she used to skate as a kid or something. Um, nevermind. Not that it matters. Floortje Smit is no Katharine McPhee, but she ain’t half bad, either.
The Olsen Twins are Kinda Hot …
Is it wrong that I think the Olsen Twins are kinda hot? Okay, maybe it’s wrong from certain perspectives, but being that they’re both 21 at the moment, it’s not nearly as wrong as it used to be. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have certainly grown up to be lovely young women, and as I hear it, one of them may or may not be dating one-nut guy Lance Armstrong. Which would make Lance the most enviable man in the universe, because let’s face it, considering that the Olsen Twins are always seen together and are always touchy feely, you would have to figure that if you could get one of them in the sack, the other one wouldn’t be far behind, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.
Former Miss USA Susie Castillo
Don’t you love it when beauty queens go bad? Well actually, Susie Castillo is an EX beauty queen, so I guess it doesn’t really count. Or does it? In case you don’t know who she is, Susie Castillo was a former Miss Massachusetts USA and Miss USA, and did so bad in the Miss Universe pageant that she ended up 13th overall, which is really lame. She’s of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent, and after finishing up her run as Miss USA in 2003, Castillo went on to join MTV as part of their Total Request Live show. You gotta wonder what those kids would say if they saw Susie in this latest issue of Maxim Magazine. Can you believe she placed 13th in the Miss Universe pageant? Stupid pageant judges.
Random Foreign Babe of the Day: Suzanne De Jong
Okay, so bear with me. I think our Random Foreign Babe of the Day, Suzanne De Jong, is Dutch. That is, she hails from the Netherlands. But I can’t be sure, because everything I’ve found on her on the net have been in some weird foreign language, which basically means it’s not English, thus it qualifies as “weird” to me. But, if I had to guess, I would say that Suzanne De Jong, a model and actress (but mostly model and commercial TV actress), is Dutch, and if I’m wrong, well, sh-t happens and then you wake up one day and realize that life sucks because your dream of becoming a rich movie star and banging hot supermodels didn’t come true. God, real life sucks, huh?
Brit Babe Invasion: Beverley Turner
Our Brit Babe of the day Beverley Turner stands 5′10″, but in girl terms, that’s like 6′5″ or something. You know, because most girls are short, so when you find one that surpasses the 5′5″ range, you’re talking an Amazon here, or thereabouts. But I digress. Beverley Turner is a British sports reporter, or as the Brits call it, a sports “presenter”, and she’s got the pedigree for the job, too: she’s the sister of swimming champ Adrian Turner, and is married to Olympic Gold Medal Rower James Cracknell. Unless you don’t know what a “rower” is, I believe they race in boats. Or maybe it’s horses. Look, I don’t know what the British like to do in their spare time, okay? I’m just guessing here. Anyhoo. Beverley Turner. Leggy. Wow.
RGX Body Spray Girl Rachel Specter
You gotta love TV commercials. Here’s the basis for every TV commercial trying to sell a product: “Buy our product and super hot girls will want to have sex with you!” No, seriously. Consider all the commercials you’ve seen. It doesn’t matter what they’re selling — cars, shoes, pants, even fruit, for God’s sake — buy their product and hot girls will want to have dirty sex with you! And hey, who is hotter right now than the RGX body spray girl Rachel Specter? She’s been in Maxim (check out the video of her shoot below) and she’s got a ton of movies lined up for 2008. Get ready for this girl to explode, because she’s definitely going to go BOOM very soon.
Latin Flavor: Aimee Garcia
You know, I feel kind of bad always reaching down south or thereabouts for our Latin Flavor columns. It’s about time I looked for an entry among our American Latinas, such as Aimee Garcia, one of the stars on ABC’s The George Lopez Show, starring that George Lopez guy. (Gee, I wonder how he got the job.) On the show, Aimee plays Lopez’s bombshell niece, who can twist men around her arms like little ants. I’m sure in real life Aimee Garcia isn’t like that, but even if she was, uh, would anyone care? Check out that darling face and that body. Yowsers. You did good hiring her, Georgie, now if only you can make the show, you know, funny, or something. But maybe that’s asking too much…
