Australian Nikki Webster is a 20-year old pop singer who wants to be taken seriously as an adult, and spreads like this one in Zoo Magazine (pictures below) will certainly help get her there. Or if not, well, it’s good for us anyway, and we’d like to thank the insecurities of pop stars everywhere for their stabs at trashy as soon as they get old enough. Nikki Webster is most known for her hit single “Strawberry Kisses”, which I’m told is about strawberries and, um, kissing. But not strawberries kissing, because that would be weird, since as we all know, strawberries don’t have lips, thus they can’t kiss, right? Well, not in this universe, anyway. I hear it’s different elsewhere…

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is one Anette Olzon, who sounds and looks a lot like Evanescence’s Amy Lee, but is Swedish and part of the band Nightwish. According to the net, the band’s genre is called “symphonic power metal”, which basically means it’s loud instrumentals fronted by Anette Olzon’s sweet, sweet ass voice. Check out some pictures of Nightwish’s lead singer and a music video for the band’s song Nemo. I think you’ll agree that looking great and sounding great is basically the bonanza, and the two things are not necessarily a mutually synonymous in the world of music.

Who knew the South Africans were producing supermodels nowadays? Well apparently they are. Their latest product is Michelle Cowley, who looks like a cross between Daniella Pestova and, um, someone else. Basically, she’s a supermodel and she was born to look good in a two-piece bikini. Other than that? I have no clue. Here’s Michelle Cowley doing some work for Sports Illustrated. I don’t know if that’s the South African version or just the standard SI version, but if it’s both, I’m definitely buying both copies. That is, if they have different pictures. I mean, damn, I’m not going to buy both versions if they have the same pictures. That would be, like, really nuts or something.

I am really digging NBC’s remake of The Bionic Woman. Or, actually, just Bionic Woman, minus the “The” part. I don’t know why, that’s just what the show goes by. Lame, I know, but what’s not lame is the show itself. Michelle Ryan stars as a bartender with no career path who gets side-swipe one day by a woman who just happens to be the former Bionic Woman. Ryan ends up being the next incarnation of the Bionic Woman, and gets to do cool things like beat the crap out of people. The pilot’s best scene features a dual between the former and present bionic woman in the rain. It’s cool stuff. The show is just as cool, and Michelle Ryan, though she didn’t really grow on me in the beginning, is starting to. Of course the fact that she’s hot doesn’t hurt. Great show. I would recommend you give it a shot if you haven’t yet. It could very well be the next Alias.

David E. Kelley pissed off a lot of people when he cleaned house on Boston Legal by getting rid of pretty much everyone on the cast whose name wasn’t William Shatner or James Spader. Which meant we will not be able to see Julie Bowen’s lovely face on the tube anymore, thanks to him. But hey, Kelley is quickly climbing out of the hole with some great additions to Boston Legal’s Season 4. He’s got three incredible faces (and legs, oh my, the legs) to add to the cast in Tara Summers, Rhona Mitra, Saffron Burrows. How psyche am I to see Saffron Burrows on the small screen on a regular basis? Oh my, it’s like Christmas and my Birthday all rolled into one! And then you add Rhona Mitra? Holy cow, I love this show!

Our Latin Flavor for today is Luli Miller, who is yet another Brazilian model/actress, so what else is new? I swear, I don’t know what they’re feeding those girls down there, but man, they should keep it up! If only we could get our brilliant scientists together and somehow find a way to use these Brazilian models as a source of power. We could, like, stick one Brazilian into our basement and use her to generate electricity. Think about it: It would be clean and efficient power! All we would have to do is feed her once a day, and every other day, send someone downstairs to snap pictures of her to convince her she was still on a fashion runway. And whenever she walked back and forth on the faux runway, she would be generating power. I’m telling you, it could work! Anyhoo. Luli Miller.

I’m shocked that Canadian actress Kathleen Robertson isn’t more famous. I don’t know why. She should have become more famous than she currently is after that scorching turn in “Scary Movie 2″ — I mean, who could have looked at Kathleen Robertson in that skin-tight leather pants and revealing thong line and not fall immediately in love? Cold hearted fish, that’s who. Even lesbians should have fallen in love with her after that role. But things should look up when Kathleen Robertson has a major role as the villainous in the upcoming Sci Fi Channel mini-series “Tin Man”, one of those contemporary remakes of “The Wizard of Oz”. She plays Azkadellia in the mini-series, so tune in when it comes on, and give the woman her due. Kathleen Robertson should be more famous, dammit!

Holy Mother of God. How unfunny is this trailer for the new sports-themed parody comedy “The Comebacks”? I swear to God, shouldn’t trailers for comedies be filled to the brim with all of the movie’s best jokes? So putting that theory into practice, does this then mean that the makers of “The Comebacks” have squeezed the funniest jokes their movie could muster into their trailer? And if that’s the case, does the fact that there is absolutely nothing funny about the trailer make “The Comebacks” then, well, a comedy without any comedy? Jesus H. Christ. How could you go so wrong parodying sports movie cliches? South Park has done a million times better than this in a 20-minute episode!

If you’ve been watching the latest season of Heroes, then you know that the latest girl with powers on the show is Dania Ramirez, who plays the extremely dangerous Maya. So who is Maya? She’s a girl who can make people bleed out of her eyes and die. Basically, she’s a really, really dangerous girl, but not the “bad girl” in the sense that she’s evil. Dania Ramirez plays her as very sympathetic and fearful, and I’m dying to see how Maya transforms into something else. A character similar to Dark Phoenix from the X-Men comic books, maybe? Who knows, but it’ll be fun to find out. Here’s some Dania Ramirez to get you excited about Maya’s eventual transformation.

I liken my current obsession with former Pussycat Dolls leading lady Nicole Scherzinger (now solo artist Nicole Scherzinger) to last year’s obsession with Stacy Keibler. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the tall frame, the long legs, or the hot, sleek body that gets me everytime, but I can’t get enough of Nicole Scherzinger. The latest pictures of Nicole Scherzinger comes courtesy of Blender Magazine, who hosts the statuesque doll on their cover and in their pages in their most recent issue. Go out and grab it now. Trust me, Nicole Scherzinger is worth it. And if not, I think newsstands still sell gum. And you know how good gum is. Yum.

Our Brit Babe Invasion for the day is Casey Batchelor, a model from the UK, who I know nothing about, except that she’s very pretty, she has ginorous boobs, and she’s, well, isn’t that all that’s necessary to know? Boobs + looks = fame in the UK. I’m not knocking the UK, of course, since boobs and a nice face will do it just about anywhere and everywhere. Here are some pictures of model Casey Batchelor, including a great music video that stars her and her, um, vast talents. Yes, both of her vast talents, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. The video is for a song called Hear Fear by a ban called HENTAIGENE. They sound a lot like Linkin Park, but with more guitar riffs.

Christy Carlson Romano, not to be confused with Ray Romano (are they related? I don’t know, although a quick look around Google would solve this problem, but I’m just too bloody lazy), wants you to Declare Yourself this year. I don’t know what that means, but I’m guessing it involves you and yourself doing some declaring. Maybe it has something to do with voting, too, but hey, that’s way over our heads. In any case, we really like that someone like Christy Carlson Romano, with her great looking self, going around telling us to declare ourselves. I have absolutely no idea what to say in this post, but I just wanted to post some Christy Romano and God bless the ignorant voting public for supply me with this excuse.

See, this is one of those times that, had I been around in 2003, I would have posted this spread by country music goddess Shania Twain in Maxim Magazine. But of course I wasn’t around then, and was probably too busy chasing girls around a college campus somewhere, so I didn’t notice this great spread by the lovely Shania Twain. Anyways, it’s time to remedy my foolishness with this posting. Back in 2003, Shania Twain took some of it off for an appearance in Maxim, quite possibly one of the first for a woman from the world of country western music. And wow, does she look good or what? Let’s hope the rest of country music’s grand ladies follow suit!

Whatever happened to Stacy Keibler? Remember when Stacy was supposed to be the next big thing? Or was that all in our imagination? No, I’m pretty sure she was riding pretty hot just a year ago, with a stint on Dancing with the Stars and various appearances in men’s magazines that burned through the eyes of men everywhere they were so bloody hot. She did some TV shows (What About Brian, George Lopez), but that big movie career never really happened as we all expected. Then again, maybe we just had too high of an expectations for Stacy Keibler. She can finally be seen in the awful looking parody movie “The Comebacks”, playing “All-American Mom”. Not exactly superstar stuff, to be sure, but a gal’s gotta start somewhere, right?

It’s not everyday I hear a song on the radio and then run to the net to Google the singer. Well I did hear a song that was so good I had to find out who the singer was. Her name is KT Tunstall, a Scottish singler/songwriter and, yes, she actually knows how to play instruments. I know, what a novelty, right? The girl can do it all, and she’s got a pretty incredible voice to boot. In 2007, the Grammys nominated her for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her song “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, but she lost to that howling coyote Christina Aguilera, who hasn’t sang a decent song since she convinced herself people wants to hear her screech like a rabid dog in every single song. Another good thing about Tunstall? She’s really outspoken and has a tendency to piss people off! Check out pictures and a video of Tunstall.

Apparently tired of having her sweet young thing character roped into creepy romance with her 70-year old co-star (I think he’s 70, or is it more like 60?), actress Jorja Fox has called it quits and is leaving the original CSI TV show. Says Fox about her decision to leave: “There are all these things I want to do. Some are personal. Some are professional. And I really need to do some of them before I get too old.” You know, like not having to fake chemistry with an old guy on a TV show. I know how she feels. The last time I had to fake chemistry with an old guy, it wasn’t pleasant. But perhaps I’ve said too much. Fox will appear on the show for five episodes this season, and then it’s see ya.

Brazilian model, actress, and former Brazil MTV VJ Fernanda Lima has mentioned on her blog that she recently auditioned for a role in the upcoming Bond 22 movie, most likely playing a really hot Brazilian girl who James Bond meets and a minute later is doing the horizontal mambo with. Or in this case, the vertical salsa. You know, because that’s how James Bond likes to roll. No idea if she got the role or not, but hey, the Bond producers could do worst than hire her. The girl is certainly hot enough, and if the Bond movies are known for one thing, it’s their amazing display of eye candy. Check out a video of Fernanda Lima. This girl looks smoking in her pictures, but she actually looks even better moving around in video form!

Here’s the thing, I don’t know anything about Sarah Smart, but oh man, is her entry in Wikipedia really, really great. Here, I’ll let you read it for yourself: “Her career started as a child, notably in the television series Woof! She is best known for a series of well-regarded television roles including Virginia Braithwaite, lesbian daughter of a lottery winning family in the comedy drama At Home with the Braithwaites , Sparkhouse and Jane Hall marked a fruitful link between Smart and television writer Sally Wainwright. Smart has also appeared successfully on radio. The notorious 16th century woman pirate Grace O’Malley, or Granuiale as she was known in Ireland, is Sarah’s great, great, great, great grandmother. Sarah once portrayed her infamous ancestor during a St Patrick’s Day Parade in 2001.” Did you get that last part? How many people can say that!

No, seriously. Stop laughing, you bums. Paris Hilton has reformed while in prison (she was inside for what, a week?), and she’s now ready to save the world. Or at least, some place in Rwanda, where she’ll be heading to on a charity mission sometime next month because, you know, if mingling with poor African kids is good enough for Angelina Jolie, then by God it’s good enough for the new, reformed Paris Hilton. Again, I have to insist you stop laughing. Here’s what Hilton told Newsweek: “There are a lot of bad people in L.A. Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties—it was a fantasy. But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to leave a mark on the world.” Seriously, stop laughing. It’s just rude.

This is a bit of a surprised. Usually whenever we see Carolina Ardohain (affectionally known as “Pampita” to her friends and stalkers), the Argentinian supermodel and TV actress is usually not wearing a whole lot of clothes, so seeing her in this spread for Cosas Magazine, wearing way too many clothes, is a bit of a disappointment. Then again, it is Carolina Ardohain, so a little bit or a little too much clothes is worth it anyway. Here’s a bit of trivia: Carolina Ardohain’s nickname, “Pampita”, is because she was born in La Pampa. Wait, you thought it was something more exciting? Sorry to disappoint you, kids.
