If a little bit of Giorgia Palmas is very good, then it stands to reason that a little bit MORE of Giorgia Palmas is very GREAT. Right? See, that’s the kind of concrete thinking that has led me to writing gibberish on the computer and publishing it on the Internet where some unsuspecting dude accidentally stumbles across it while hiding in his office cubicle and hoping that his boss doesn’t catch him goofing off at work. Wait, where was I? Oh right. Italian celebrity Giorgia Palmas is really hot, and we’d like to see more of her if that’s possible. And if not, well, we’ll try anyway. That’s just how we like to roll around these here parts.

Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone who is an ex-beauty pageant ends up with some semblance of a career once their beauty reign is over EXCEPT American beauty queens? I can name on one hand the number of ex-beauty queens that have managed a career post-crowning, and that’s basically just Vanessa Williams (the pretty one, not the one with the dreadlocks). So here’s Veruska Ramirez, our Latin Flavor of the day, a former Miss Venezuela who has parlayed her beauty pageant win into a successful modeling career. Veruska almost won, too, coming in second in the Miss Universe pageant in 1998 only to Miss Trinidad and Tobago. She’ll always be number one in our book, though.

Actress Taryn Southern was actually one of the finalists on American Idol’s Season 3, but she must not have gotten a lot of camera time because I don’t remember her. Then again, it’s not like I watch a whole lot of American Idol until Katharine McPhee blew up and got me interested again. Anyhoo. Besides appearing on talk shows, she’s worked the red carpets of the Young Hollywood Awards and the Golden Globes, and has co-produced a documentary on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, as well as produced and starred in Project MyWorld, the first ever original television series on DirecTV. And of course there’s that “Hott 4 Hill” video that is all the rage on YouTube. The girl is, in a word, busy.

I don’t plan on seeing the new The Rock movie “The Game Plan”, mostly because movies starring giant, muscular guys who are forced to act all womany in order to care for a little kid (come on, I can name 50 of them off the top of my head) is really stupid and contrived and I just…can’t…stand…IT!!!!!!! But hey, I’ve just recently learned that Kate Nauta is one of the film’s stars, which makes me kind of rethink my notion. After all, it’s been years since Kate Nauta showed up on the big screen blowing people away with two pistols. Speaking of which, how come no one has given this woman another job since? What a disgrace. Here are some promo pics of Kate Nauta from “The Game Plan”.

Get ready, kids, the latest season (Season number 2, to be precise) is coming your way courtesy of NBC, who have released these promo images of the “Heroes” cast (including, of course, Ali Larter and Hayden Panettiere and all those other, er, people on the show whose names I don’t know and I don’t want to know). Obviously my eyes were drawn to Hayden’s character’s new spiffy cheerleader outfit. I would think that after helping to save the world she would have gotten tired of that whole cheerleader stuff, but hey, when you get to see Hayden in a cheerleader outfit, why would you go away from that? Thanks, Tim Kring and company! (Of course, I’m also expecting to see more of Ali Larter stripping guys…) “Heroes” premieres later this month. Tune in — or die!

I’ve already told you about Helena Mattsson, and how you’re going to be hearing more about this Swedish beauty very soon (her first starring role, “Species 4: The Awakening” is hitting DVDs very soon, so be sure to grab it), but until then you can check out more of her in this Carl Jr.’s Flat Buns hamburger commercials. And I mean “commercials”, plural. It’s the same commercial, with the same rapping white boys, but there are different footages of the gorgeous Helena Mattsson in them. I seem to recall that there were some controversy when this video was run on network TV, although I could be wrong. Then again, isn’t that the point of the commercials? The more “controversy”, even the fake ones, will get Carl Jr.’s free publicity, and that’s just something you can’t buy.

It’s been a long time since we last posted any Emma Griffiths (over a year!), and because she’s just such a fine looking lady, and there’s a shortage of really fine looking ladies out there, why not go back and post some more Emma Griffiths. This time around we had to go all the way back to 2005 (you know, the good ol days) for this FHM UK spread, but since it’s a hell of a spread — as in, it’s a rockin’ super hot spread — we don’t mind posting an oldie but very goodie. Get some Emma Griffiths ya bums and thank me in the morning. Or tonight, if that’s your pleasure.

To answer my own question: No. Unless, that is, you like watching failed teen TV show, then you might have already fallen in lust with Amber Heard when she starred on the short-lived series “Hidden Palms”. But if not, you might end up falling in lust anyway when she stars in the upcoming horror movie “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane”. Amber, of course, plays the titular Mandy Lane, because let’s face it, when you’re going to call your movie that, you better have someone playing the main character who is mighty fine. And Amber Heard? She’s mighty fine, alright. If you disagree call me so I can go to you house and punch you in the face.

Oh, those Latin girls and their flavorful bodies. Thank God there is an endless supply of them out there, or this lame ass column might have gone the way of the dodo birds a long time ago. Like, two years ago, probably. (Wait, has the column been around that long? Well, probably not, but just go with it.) In any case, although I can’t find jack on Debora Montenegro on the Internet, I’m reasonably certain she’s from down South Central America thereaways, but if not, let’s just pretend. And hey, is it just me or does Debora Montenegro look a heck of a lot like “24″ star Kim Raver? I’m telling you, the two ladies could be twins. Now if they would only stand next to each other wearing very little clothes…

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day, Felicitas Woll, is a German TV actress, and since I have never been to Germany, and so will never see anything even close to being called “German TV”, I have absolutely no idea who she is or what she’s all about, but I do know this: she is random, she is foreign, and she is a babe, so she definitely fits the category. According to her bio on IMDB.com, Felicitas “supports people with Down syndrome,” which is a good thing, because anyone who is against people with Down syndrome is just a big fat jerk. Am I right or am I right, girls? (Well, unless the person with Down syndrome was kind of a jerk, then I guess it COULD be okay not to like them…)

Here’s Canadian pop singer Nelly Furtado in the German edition of Maxim Magazine. So what’s the difference between the German edition of Maxim and the American edition, you ask? Well, er, one is available in Germany and the other is available in America. See? And you say I don’t teach you boys anything at the Random Page! For shame! But anyways, I’m quickly warming up to Nelly Furtado, who I wasn’t a fan off before, but is quickly growing to love. Er, I mean, lust. Same difference, right? By the way, if Nelly Furtado is Canadian, why isn’t she in the Canadian edition of Maxim instead of the German edition? I’m just saying.

Oh boy, apparently motherhood and trailer trashing it up for the last few years hasn’t been kind to Britney Spears’ talent — or should we say, what little talent she still has left. The poor girl performed at the MTV Video Music Awards last night (video of the performance below), and she looked, in a word: “Holy crap, you call that a performance?” Basically, it was awful. I mean, shit, I don’t even know anything about dancing or choreography or singing, but even I know that “performance” of hers was Godawful shitty. The song she’s doing is her new single, called “Gimme More”, and it sounds just as crappy as her performance. See for yourself before MTV yanks it off YouTube. (But on the plus side? Her doctor sucked out all the cellulite, so that’s good.) Update: Well the YouTube version didn’t last long. Here’s the DailyMotion version, hopefully it’ll last longer.

Twenty years from now, I think people will look back at FOX’s crime procedural/comedy show “Bones” and say, “Hey, that was a pretty good show, after all,” probably around the time Hollywood decides it wants to make a big-screen movie version of the show. (Oh come on, you know Hollywood will still be creatively bankrupt 20 years from now, let’s not kid ourselves.) Then again, my TV radar could be wrong and popular culture could evolve into something better and shows like “Bones” will only work as nostalgia time, you know, sort of like “The Brady Bunch”, except with, er, bones and dead people. In any case, here are some promos for the upcoming Season 3 of “Bones” on FOX.

I can’t recall the last time I actually watched MTV’s silly Video Music Awards. Oh sure, I’ve tuned in by accident while channel surfing, but I’ve never actually stayed to watch. Maybe I’m just not “hip” enough to give a frig about who wins what pointless award (seriously, does anyone care who wins the VMA?), or maybe I’m just too smart to lose brain cells to the show. But you know what? If the VMA can promise me more visions of delight, aka Nicole Scherzinger, then I’m going to give tuning in a try. No, really. I’ll tune in, like, for a couple of minutes or something, which is a couple of minutes more than I USUALLY tune in, so you know it has to be special. Yes, Nicole Scherzinger is THAT special to me — in the good kind of “special”, ahem.

Don’t mistake Fernanda Lima for her fellow countrymen Adriana Lima, although the two does look kinda similar. That is, if you’re frakkin’ blind, because they don’t look anything alike. Besides having a better body (love the abs work, Fernanda), Fernanda Lima doesn’t have a half-bad face. She’s also got more oomph in the career department, working as a Brazilian actress, TV host and of course, model. And hey, she’s even socially conscience — there are a couple of pictures of her here at the recent Live Earth concert. Yeah, yeah, I know, Live Earth was a waste of everyone’s time, but since Fernanda Lima was there, I’m going to say it was good and go with it. Check out Fernanda Lima and her tattoos.

If you were inclined to keep track of such things, the latest winner of Miss England is Georgia Horsley. She takes the crown formerly held by Eleanor Mary Anne Glynn of Oxford, and will be representing England in the upcoming Miss World competition (not to be confused with the Miss Universe version). Georgia Horsley hails from Norton, and actually competed in the Miss England pageant in 2005, but lost out to Hammasa Kohistani of London. Here’s a recent shoot with the recently crowned Miss England. I think she has a great career ahead of her in lingerie and bikini modeling. Failing that, she can always model privately for me in my basement.

When you think celebrity cleavage, you don’t think Brittany Snow. Then again, I don’t think Brittany Snow very often, but maybe I should start, because she’s not only showing some mighty fine cleavage here, but she’s not an altogether bad looking girl. And of course by “not altogether bad” I mean she’s way beyond my league, but I’m going to pretend like she’s not anyway because that’s just how I like to roll. You can catch Brittany Snow in the upcoming horror remake of “Prom Night”, where if the Gods are listening, we’ll be treated to more pictures of Brittany Snow cleavage. I hear prom dresses are designed for just that.

Here’s a public service announcement just in case you are one of the dumbasses who haven’t realized that Spanish actress Paz Vega is really, really hot: “Paz Vega is really, really hot.” Got that? Okay, now go to your parent’s room, take some money out of your mom’s purse, and send them to me. Yes, don’t worry, she’ll never know. It’ll just be between you and I, and I promise I won’t tell anyone. Well, okay, I won’t tell anyone as long as you do as I say, so hurry up, my basement is getting cold. Wait, where was I? Oh right, Paz Vega is really, really hot. See for yourself if you don’t believe me.

At the risk of having my Too Cool for School license revoked (as if I had one to begin with, I know, just go along with it), I actually used to listen to country music. No, it’s true. And yeah, I was listening to it BEFORE girls like Faith Hill et al turned the genre into a great place to find sexy women. I actually listened to country music for — gasp — the music! But you know what, with girls like Taylor Swift now dominating the scene, I can go back to country music and pretend I’m back for the music, but I’m really back for the girls. Ooooh yeah, it’s a perfect plan. How could it go wrong? Conclusion: It cannot!

Whenever I see pictures of Australian beauty Nicky Whelan, the first thing that keeps coming to my mind is: “Wow, I can’t believe David Spade was hitting this. David Spade is my hero!” Now I don’t know if they’re still dating or what, or if they even really dated in the first place, but you gotta hand it to little Davie Spade, the kid did alright. I guess being famous DOES have its benefits! In any case, here’s more of Nicky Whelan, the Australian Neighbours star in the Australian edition of FHM Magazine. It’s interesting, but the magazine doesn’t really show off Nicky’s greatest assets — her body. They sort of hide her body in some weird poses. Oh well, still makes me tingle all over.
