The Random Stuff of Interests Page

This is a new column, dedicated to those pictures, that ONE picture, that tells the whole story. To christen the column, we’re going to use the beautiful Romanian model Catrinel Menghia, who has done her share of great looking pictures. But out of all of them, I think this one just does it better than any combined. It’s one picture, it’s one woman, it’s one set of bra and panties, but the composition of the picture, the way Catrinel Menghia is posed, and the jeans. Yes, the JEANS. Wow, what nice looking jeans they are, too. Mama mia, I don’t think I can stand up right now, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

Speaking of Rachel Bilson (wait, or was that speaking of Chuck the TV show? Oh well, same difference), the latest addition to the cast is Rachel Bilson. The former OC star will play a love interest for the main character Chuck, and will form a love triangle between Chuck and his CIA protector played by the Aussie babe Yvonne Strzechowski. Basically, a nerdy IT guy now has two hot chicks after him. Now you KNOW it just has to be fiction! Now if I had Rachel and Yvonne to choose from, who would I choose? Let’s see. Rachel is cute and bubbly, but Yvonne is just drop dead sexy. Who to choose? Hmm, why choose at all? I can pull a “sitcom-esque” situation and date both at the same time! Yeah, that’s the ticket…

If you’ve seen the commercials for NBC new upcoming comedy-action/adventure show “Chuck”, then you have probably seen the bombshell blonde who entices the main character, Chuck, into coming to work for the Government alongside her. Or maybe she’s a spy trying to kill him. I don’t really know, it’s not like I’ve already seen the pilot or anything. But anyways. That blonde bombshell is Yvonne Strahovski (Strzechowski), an actress from Maroubra, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, but she sure seems to have the American accent down pat. What is it with all these hot Aussies taking over American jobs, and why isn’t it happening more often? I don’t mind one bit!

Hey, remember Ananda Lewis? She used to be a reporter for MTV (well, as much of a “reporter” as you can be working for MTV, I mean, we’re not talking about 60 Minutes here or CNN, you know), but I swear she disappeared off the face of the Earth for a while there. But I was surfing channels earlier today, and guess who I ran across — that’s right, Ananda Lewis, now hosting a Reality TV show on the TV Guide Network. (Yes, there is a channel called the TV Guide Network on TV. Giggle if you must.) In any case, I don’t know where Ananda has been keeping herself, but she still looks pretty damn good on the show. The show itself is okay, but kind of stupid. “America’s Next Producer”? What the hell does that mean, and who cares? Eh, let’s move on to enjoying us some Ananda Lewis.

Heads up, Lamborghini fans (or owners, for you lucky sonofabitches out there), because the 2008 Lamborghini Reventon is out, and it’s looking daaaaaaaaaaamn fine. I mean, hell, I don’t usually go for these exotic sports cars, but the way this thing is looking? Holy crap. It makes me want to run out and rob a bank just to go and buy one or two or maybe 10 of these things and put them up and down my street just to show them off. What a beautiful looking ride! I’m usually motorcycle man, but I could go for these babies in a heartbeat. Check out pictures from the 2008 Lamborghini Reventon below and tell me you aren’t having wet dreams about it later tonight. I dare ya.

Yes, kids, it’s that time of the year again, when we have discovered a brand spanking new supermodel (at least to us) worth posting about in our Random Supermodel of the Day column. Now you may ask, “But wait, there are PLENTY of supermodels you haven’t featured yet!” Well the easy answer is, “Yeah, that’s true, but most of them aren’t WORTH featuring.” But Aurelie Claudel? Yeah, I’m gonna say she’s worth it, and more. She’s a French supermodel from, uh, France, who has appeared in Sports Illustrated’s famous swimsuit edition and is, simply put, a stunning looking babe. Enjoy Aurelie Claudel. (I mean, come on, that name is even sexy…)

In case you missed it, former “Beverly Hills 90210″ babe Jennie Garth has joined the Reality TV show “Dancing with the Stars” as one of its celebrity contestants. Here are some promos of Jennie Garth with her dancing pro. I don’t know who the guy is, but, um, isn’t he like 12-years old? Or at least, he looks like he’s just a 12-year old. But in any case, tune into “Dancing with the Stars” on ABC when it comes back sometime next week on Mondays for the dance show and then Tuesdays for the results show. I still don’t “get” the popularity of the show, but hey, it’s not like I have good tastes in TV to begin with, so what do I know.

These Bollywood actresses, especially the really pretty ones, really confuse me. On the one hand, they can’t do anything “sexual” like kiss in a Bollywood movie (unless, of course, they want people rioting against them in the streets), and yet whenever you see them they’re always showing off their stomachs (and what nice stomachs they are!) and appearing in Maxim magazine. Okay, so not a lot of Bollywood actress have appeared in Maxim magazine so far, but you can’t say that about Mandira Bedi, who looks Bollywoodlicious in Maxim. I gotta find some of her movies and see if she shows the same kind of sex appeal in them as she does here…

FoxNews babe Julie Banderas has been around for a while, but I just never got around to posting her. But believe you me, I’ve always noticed what a sexy fox Julie Banderas is. You can catch two Julies: the serious one that shows up to read the news during Fox’s regular shows, and the one that shows up late at night at 2:00 a.m. (central time) as a recurring guest on Fox’s “Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld”. That’s an insanely funny show and incredibly addictive, and Julie Banderas makes it about 5,000 times better. So my suggestion, guys, in case you’re reading, is to put Julie on AT LEAST twice a week. This is the only picture I could find of Julie Banderas, and believe you me, it doesn’t do her justice at all.

If Australian babe Krystal Forscutt doesn’t get better looking or more sexy everytime I see one of her magazine spreads (this one in Zoo), I’ll be a monkey’s uncle’s bald butt. But I’m not, because it’s true — Krystal Forscutt just keeps getting hotter everytime I see her in a magazine layout. Seriously, whatever they’re feeding these Aussies Down Under, they need to keep it up, because if even one-tenth of the women looks like Krystal over there, it’s a good thing no one decided to close that prison continent. Anyhoo, get some Krystal Forscutt and call me in the morning.

After ABC put the kibosh on the pretty cool show “Day Break” and ended Moon Bloodgood’s TV career, she’s found a second chance on NBC’s “Journeyman”. The show’s got a pretty cool premise, but I don’t know if it’ll work — still, I’m going to give it a shot, if only because Moon Bloodgood is one of the show’s stars, and the woman just does it for me something awful. The show stars Kevin McKidd as a journalist who somehow travels back in time to help out people. Or as the official plot goes: “A family man regularly travels back through time to correct past wrongs. In the present, he attempts to maintain his relationships and his sanity.” I don’t know who Moon plays in the show, but her character’s name is Livia Beale, and she is looking goooooooood in these promo pictures.

I gotta tell you, I don’t think anyone really expected the original “Saw” to really do a lot of business. But then it came out and BLEW UP. Now you can’t go anywhere without seeing a horror movie poster that’s trying to copy the look of the “Saw” posters, or the franchise’s “torture porn” concept — basically, put a bunch of people in a room and torture the crap out of them until they beg for death. People say the genre is dying out, with the failures of “Captivity” and “Hostel II” at the box office, but maybe it’s not that the genre is fading, but rather its COPYCATS that are fading. The “Saw” franchise seems to be going stronger than ever, and “Saw 4″, when released in theaters on Halloween, should either confirm or refute my theory. Here are some wallpapers from the movie.

First there were those nude pictures (well, actually only one nude picture, and a bunch of revealing lingerie/pantie pictures), and now there is rumor of the existence of a Vanessa Anne Hudgens sex tape. But wait, don’t get your hopes up, boys, the truth is the tape doesn’t exist. The “news” originally came out of a parody site and was carried by a couple of other blogs as fact, but has since been shot down by other bloggers hours later. (And they say bloggers don’t do actual “research”!) But hey, that’s not going to stop the Vanessa Hudgens sexcapades — at least not if “Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis has anything to say about it. The sleazy entrepreneur has already offered Vanessa $500,000 to — quote — “join the GGW brand and lifestyle.” Which is to say, be on an informercial that comes on at 3:00 a.m. Trust me, I’m awake during that time, and they’re everywhere! No word if Vanessa will sign up. (I’m going to guess No.)

Word from TV Guide is that Charisma Carpenter will be taking part in Donald Trump’s celebrity version of his Reality TV show “The Apprentice”. Now I don’t know how it’s going to work with celebrities (What, they’re competing to win a job with him? Why would they want to work for him? They’re ACTORS!), but I might just tune in if it turns out to be true. I mean, damn, TV just hasn’t been the same without Charisma Carpenter gracing it every other day. TV Guide usually gets this stuff right (they are, after all, TV friggin’ Guide, so it goes without saying, right?), so I’m waiting patiently to see a Donald Trump show. Wow, I never thought I’d say THAT!

There is good news and bad news about the upcoming fourth season of “Stargate: Atlantis”. The good news first: Amanda Tapping joins the cast, reprising her role of Samantha Carter from the long-running “Stargate: SG1″ series, which has ended after its recent tenth season. Now the bad news: Torri Higginson has been been killed off “Atlantis”. Or at least, it seems like she’s been killed off. The last time we saw her, she was blasted halfway across the Atlantis station by a giant laser beam, so you know, she looked dead (or will be) to me. In any case, season four of “Stargate: Atlantis” is coming, and here are some promos. Featuring Amanda Tapping and Rachel Luttrell and “the guys”.

What? There’s another reason to tune in when “House” returns for its fourth season on FOX later this month? Why yes! And her name is Olivia Wilde. Fresh from the recently cancelled “The Black Donnellys”, Olivia Wilde will finally land on a hit TV show and (fingers crossed) she’ll stay on it for a while. I don’t know if the previous castmembers from the last three seasons — Jennifer Morrison, Epps, the other guy — are coming back, but with Olivia Wilde to take up the slack, you know what? I don’t really mind. Here are some promos of Olivia Wilde in the premiere episode of “House” season four.

So I was up late at night again last night (well, okay, it was more like 4:00 in the morning), and happened to catch the U.S. Women’s National Soccer team playing in China against a bunch of boys from North Korea. Wait, they were boys, weren’t they? They sure looked like guys, anyway, but they could have been the North Korean Women’s National Team. Same difference. Anyhoo. The first thing I noticed was the U.S.’s goalkeeper, Hope Solo. And then I heard her name, and I thought, “Wow, what a f–kin’ great name.” I mean, come on, how can you have a better name? She sounds like she’s Han Solo’s cousin or something! Anyways, check out some Hope Solo and tune in to watch the U.S. Women win the FIFA World Cup.

I don’t think NBC is promoting their new cop show, “Life” nearly enough. It’s got two of my favorite things in a TV show — Damian Lewis, star of the magnificent HBO mini-series “Band of Brothers”, and the premise is killer: a cop, wrongly imprisoned, is finally released, sues the LAPD, and gets his job back plus a ton of cash. The cash allows him to do basically anything he wants, like harass his ex-wife’s new boyfriend, and try to solve the mystery behind his own framing. And did I mention it stars Damian Lewis, who is a fantastic actor and one of those guys I’d watch read the grocery list. He’s fantastic. So watch “Life” when it comes on and keep this show on the air! Some promos below.

Every now and then I see an old show or an old commercial with a celebrity that I was smitten with back in the day, but realized I haven’t seen a whole lot of her for a while now. As a result, I’ve created this new column, the MIA Babe of the Week, where every week (or thereabouts) we will focus on one former babe who has been mostly missing in action. The first babe in the column is Jacqueline Obradors, who was on NYPD Blue and after that, the Godawful “Freddie”. But Jacqueline has seen resurfaced, as a regular on an HBO doctor show that will be produced and directed by J.J. Abrams. No idea what the show will be called, but with Abrams’ name attached, it’ll definitely get done, and we’ll see more of Jacqueline on TV again very soon. Welcome back, Jacqueline!

How great is German actress Alexandra Neldel’s life? She was a dental assistant before she got discovered by a casting director who put her in the movies, as the kids would say. Basically, it’s the same story you hear everyday in Hollywood about how a girl from the Midwest goes to Hollywood to make it big, gets a job as a waitress, and some bigshot producer discovers her and puts her in the movies and suddenly she’s famous overnight. Kinda like that. Except, well, it’s not Hollywood and Alexandra Neldel is a Berliner. But besides that, she’s hot, and is our Random Foreign Babe of the Day. And hey, she kinda looks like Kim Raver, too…
