Hollywood does a lot of things well, but movie strippers is not one of them. More often than not, you’ll get an actress who wants all the cache of being able to say, “I played a stripper in a movie”, but without taking the clothes off. By not stripping, they are technically not playing strippers, as the word “strippers” would seem to imply the “stripping” off one of one’s clothes. Another major problem with movie strippers is the “good girl wants to go bad” syndrome, where an actress known for an innocuous career decides to “shock” us by playing a stripper to prove she’s grown up. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn’t. Here, then, are our Hollywood Top 5: Worst Movie Strippers.

The latest news out of CSI land is that Elizabeth Berkley, the former Showgirls star, will be joining the cast of CBS’s never-say-die series CSI, the Miami version. She’ll be joining Emily Procter as the only other reason to watch that show, because let’s face it, guys aren’t tuning in for the Miami setting or to watch David Caruso do that utterly retarded “remove glasses, cock head, and gurgle out some crappy punch line” thing that he does in every frakkin’ episode. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Berkley will be playing Julia Winston, the ex-wife of Caruso’s character on the show. And, we suspect, she’ll be walking around in a bikini lots. Hey, it’s Miami, and it’s, um, hot and junk.
