NBC’s new action-adventure (and comedy, I might add) offering Chuck isn’t necessarily a bad show. I don’t think it’s really that great, but it sure has some great points about it, and one of them is, without a doubt, a certain blonde gorgeous bombshell named Yvonne Strahovski (Strzechowski) . In fact, Yvonne cuts such a stunning figure on the show that I wish NBC had given her the Bionic Woman TV series instead of this one. I wouldn’t mind seeing Yvonne leaping across rooftops or throwing guys around as the bionic woman. But hey, beggars can’t be choosers, and Yvonne is pretty good in Chuck, too. In fact, she’s the best thing about the show. Here are some images of Yvonne Strahovski (Strzechowski) as Sarah Walker from the Chuck pilot.

So there you are, hosting what I think is a TV game show LIVE on TV; someone calls in, and you go into your spiel, asking questions, and suddenly, without warning — SPLASH!!! A stream of vomit flies from your mouth. I mean, damn, you don’t even see it coming! One second she’s standing there all giggly and girly and hot and the next second the poor girl is throwing up like Linda Blaire in the Exorcist. It’s unreal, surreal, and downright funny. The girl’s name is Eva Nazemson, and she blames the bout of vomit on “menstrual pain”. Clean up in the studio! But anyways, you gotta admire the girl. As soon as she finished vomiting, she hopped right back up and went right back to work like nothing had happened. What a host!

Carol Gracias may not sound like the name of an Indian babe, but Carol Gracias is indeed Indian. Or at least, she’s of Indian heritage, and according to Wikipedia, she is a past winner of the coveted India’s L’Oreal/Elite “Look of the year” title, and is presently very prominent on the ramp circuit. Now I don’t know what the “ramp circuit” is, but I’m guessing it involves ramps and, erm, lots of circuits. You know, like the kind people pt into phones and electronics and whatnot. Now I don’t know what it is that Carol Gracias and her fantastic lingerie body would be doing at such places, but as long as she brings along copies of her appearance in Maxim Magazine, I’m sure no one will mind.

Apparently getting letting the whole wide world and alien son Mars see her hoo-ha when she snapped naked pictures of herself and sent them to boyfriend Zac Efron hasn’t deterred Disney product Vanessa Hudgens from “empowering” herself with a risque spread in a men’s magazines. Hudgens recently told a mag about a possible appearance in one of the many men’s magazines out there (we’re guessing she’s talking about Maxim, Stuff, etc): “I think being a woman and being able to show a sexy side is empowering. Being able to show we are comfortable in our skin is a good thing. I totally would pose for a sexy magazine. But not Playboy.” I totally agree with you, Vanessa, and look forward to seeing your empowering half-naked self in Maxim, or Stuff, or FHM…

Say hello to Italian actress and former beauty queen Anna Valle, who is as spicy as they come, and then some. How many former beauty queens turned successful actress can you name? I can put them all on one hand. Now you can add Anna Valle to that list. The former Miss Italian 1995 has starred in shows like “Commesse”, “Per amore”, and “Papa Giovanni”. Nowadays you can catch her on the mini-series “Era mio fratello” and the movie “Carnera: The Walking Mountain”, which I believe is about a mountain name Carnera that can, um, walk. Or maybe not.

Bar none, Lauren Conrad is the hottest thing on MTV’s The Hills TV series. I don’t know if that entire show is fake from top to bottom, but when they have girls like Lauren Conrad running around in bikinis and very little on, do you really care? I know I don’t! (Mind you, not that I actually watch the show or anything, being all man and all. Ahem.) But I digress. Here’s Lauren Conrad making a brief appearance in the October edition of Maxim Magazine. There’s just one picture, much to my chagrin, but are you really going to be complaining? (Okay, yes, you can complain, because it’s not super Maxim quality stuff, but it’s a start, right? Now if they’ll only talk her into a bikini and some sexy lingerie…)

With a name like Bianca Kajlich, you expect to hear that she’s from Romania or Russia or one of those former Eastern Bloc countries. But nope. Although Bianca Kajlich is indeed of Czechoslovakian and Italian ancestry, she’s all American, baby, and she’s one of the stars of CBS’s Rules of Engagement, which is a great show with a great cast in case you haven’t seen it yet. She’s also married to some soccer player, finally proving, once and for all, that being a soccer player in America doesn’t necessary mean you suck donkey balls. But wait, where was I? Oh right, Bianca Kajlich is really hot, and you should watch her on TV, or in one of her movies. Love the Eastern European look, fo sure.

Becki Newton is one of the stars of CBS’s hit sticom Ugly Betty, but make no mistake about it, kids, there is nothing ugly about actress Becki Newton. She is, as the kids would say, a fine babe. Our Beautiful Becki grew up in Guilford, Connecticut, and can speak not one, not two, but four languages if you count English among them. What are the other three languages she can habla? Try Spanish, German, and Greek. And they say Hollywood actresses are stupid! There’s nothing stupid about Becki Newton and that brain of hers. Yes, she’s a hot women with actual brains. Go figure, right? Catch Ugly Betty when it returns for another (sure to be) successful season.

Who is Natalie Zea, and why should you care? This Texas native is one of the stars of the upcoming Dirty, Sexy, Money TV show, about a family of Hilton-likes who gets into trouble very often. So often, in fact, that they need to hire some expert to continually get them out of trouble. Now that’s a lot of trouble! Natalie Zea plays Karen Darling, a Paris Hilton-like troublemaker and wannabe star who also looks good. After years slaving on TV shows and soap operas, will this be Natalie Zea’s breakthrough role that propels her to fame and stardom? One can only hope. Check out the show when it comes on soon.

I don’t know who our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is, or where she comes from (although since this issue of FHM that she’s in its apparently the Portugal edition, I’m guessing she MAY be Portugese, but don’t hold me to it), but she sure looks good with most of her clothes somewhere on the floor, or maybe left behind in my basement. Either way, Diana Parente is one smoking hot babe, even if those things she calls breasts are the size of mosquito bites. But hey, who ever said you needed big boobies to be hot? Diana Parente certainly doesn’t, and we appreciate her for her naturalness.

Here’s a really great looking Halo 3 commercial. It’s a 90-second spot that was just released recently by Microsoft, and is part of the Halo 3 “Believe” campaign. I love the way they did it, the whole frozen-in-time conceit is fantastic. And the final few seconds is priceless. I haven’t really been a fan of the games, although I’ve played both of the previous installments, but it really does look as if Microsoft is going to push Halo 3 as some kind of “event” gaming release. I don’t know how good it’ll look, or if it’ll be one of those next-gen type games, but I’m pre-ordering my PC copy as soon as it becomes available. I can’t help it, I just can’t get used to those X-Box controls. Take a look at the commercial.

You know, I’m not going to start buying vans or anything, but if I did, and I had a couple of trolls to drag around (and of course by “trolls” I mean kids, what did you think I mean?), I wouldn’t mind shelling out some cash for the 2008 Toyota Highlander. Here’s Motor Trend with some specs (head on down to see pics of the 2008 Toyota Highlander from the auto show): “Available in five- or seven passenger versions, its standard engine is a 270-horsepower/249 pound-foot 3.5-liter V-6 hooked to a five-speed automatic. The 270-horsepower hybrid, introduced at the Chicago auto show, uses a 3.3-liter V-6 and electronic CVT, standard full-time four-wheel drive with intelligence, electronic brake and throttle control, and electronically controlled active steering.”

What’s a day without a brand spanking new Hollyoaks babe to discover? Not a very good day in my book. (But then again, I don’t know how to read, so what do I know. Damn you public schooling!) Ahem. Where was I? Oh right, our latest Hollyoaks babe is Loui Batley, who assays the role of Sarah Barnes on the show. So what else about her? Um, I’m not really sure, but she’s really attractive and she looks like a million bucks in these Maxim Magazine scans. There are two types of women — the kind that looks good in lingerie, and the kind that don’t. Loui Batley falls in the former category. And how!

Who is our Brit Babe Invasion girl of the day, and why does she make us tingle all over? Well her name is Jenna-Louise Coleman, and she’s an actress on a British soap opera called Emmerdale, one of those shows I never go a day without watching because, as everyone knows (and by everyone I’m also including my pet snake Spike and my imaginary friends, Fred and Ben, and their friends, Tim and Carver), I never go a day without my Emmerdale. Yum, I love me my Emmerdale. Anyhoo. Jenna-Louise Coleman hails from Blackpool, England, and besides showing off a generous cleavage in a couple of these pictures, was once nominated for Sexiest Female at the Inside Soap Awards.

Lauren Storm is an up and coming actress who spent most of her career in TV work, with guest spots on 24, CSI: Miami, and Still Standing before moving on up to movies, where she has not one, not two, but six movies coming out in 2007. Sure, two of them are TV movies, but the other four are big time stuff, including the Dwayne Johnson (that’s The Rock to you) movie The Game Plan, about a macho and narcissistic football player who learns he has a kid; he has to bring her to live with him and hilarity, as they say, ensue. I don’t think Lauren’s role in The Game Plan is all that big, but that won’t stop her from looking mighty fine at the movie’s premiere.

Are you ready kids? It’s Elena Santarelli lingerie pictures madness! Hmm, I should probably say something else in this space, because let’s face it, leaving empty spaces in a blog post is kind of lame, and you know us, kids, we’re not lame! Well, we are, but you know, in the annals of lameness, we’re somewhere between Pauly Shore and chick flicks starring Julia Roberts and her horse face, which is not really all that great, and I wish I hadn’t brought it up. But anyhoo, it’s Italian model and actress Elena Santarelli in various states of lingerie undress. She looks good, but I’m not crazy about the hair. I mean, damn, what is with the ’70s hairstyle?

You gotta love a name like Preity Zinta, especially when you are, actually, pretty to boot. Such is the golden life of Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, who comes to us from India sporting a certain wholesomeness about her, mixed in with a little sex appeal, that we just can’t ignore. Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day has over 29 movies to her credit, and is one of the most successful Indian actresses you’ve never heard of. Well, that is, unless you live in India, or if you’re not Indian, then you really like Bollywood movies, which would be kind of weird, but hey, to each his own. Get some of the pretty Preity Zinta.

Wait a minute, I didn’t know funny car races were supposed to crash and nearly kill the drivers. Isn’t that sort of like goes against everything Funny Cars stand for? I mean, how could a car by considered “funny” if the driver can actually die while racing them? But I digress. John Force, of the Force Racing Team, had to go through six hours of surgery following a wreck Sunday at the O’Reilly NHRA Fall Nationals at Texas Motorplex (video below). I wonder if this is going to be on the Force’s TV show “Driving Force”, but probably not. You can see the video of the car crash for yourself below. Wow. I mean, damn, that thing just came APART. Jesus Christ, I’m shocked no one died in that crash.

Erica Durance and the babes of Smallville are coming back for yet another season (and I think the boys are coming back too, but nevermind them), but this time Erica Durance has a major hottie to contend with in new co-star Laura Vandervoort, who will be playing Supergirl. It’s hard enough competing against farm girls and gossip reporters, but now poor Lois Lane has to battle aliens with superpowers from another planet? It’s almost not fair! Here’s Erica Durance taking it semi-off for the October issue of Maxim Magazine. She looks good, no doubt, but I think it could be better. Still, Erica Durance half-dressed is mighty fine, so enjoy.

Oh, those crazy celebrities and their wacky sex tapes. The latest celebrity to be tossed into the celebrity s-e-x scandal is none other than White Stripes drummer Meg White, who apparently has a tape showing her engaging in wild horse play circulating the Internet. According to this, the maybe-maybe not existence of said tape has cause White such distress that the two-person band has cancelled their tour dates, citing “acute anxiety” on Meg’s part. Now I don’t know if this tape is actually Meg White bumping uglies with some guy (God, I hope it’s not her brother and bandmate, BRRRR), but man, it sure looks like her, don’t it? Look at the pictures below and judge for yourself. (You’ll notice that Meg White has always been, shall we say, well strapped, and so is the girl in the tape…)
