The Random Stuff of Interests Page

Jemma and Jodie Kidd are sisters. Really, really hot looking sisters. Blonde, to boot. Little sister Jodie Kidd is a model and actress, who got turned down for the female lead in “Mission Impossible 2″ because she was way too tall; Jodie stands 6′1″, while Tom Cruise stands 5′7″ on a good day. The role, in case you didn’t know, went to Thandie Newton, who has since blown up in the world of cinema because of the role. Big sister Jemma Kidd (now known as Jemma Wellesley) isn’t doing so bad, either. She’s gotten married to royalty, and is now officially the Countess of Mornington, which basically means she gets to, um, call herself “Countess of Mornington” and stuff. Which basically means the two sisters’ hotness just went up 10-times.

The movie “Cloud Nine” was about an old dude played by Burt Reynolds who gets together a bunch of really hot and fit chicks to play volleyball to save the local rec center. Or maybe not. I’m not sure about that last part, I’m just going by movie cliches here, and it’s usually to save something or rather. In any case, one of the women Burt recruits is Champagne, played by Kenya Moore, who needless to say, looks SLAMMIN’ in a red bikini. Haven’t seen much from Kenya, although she did have a part in the Lindsay Lohan disaster “I Know Who Killed Me”, but if you say that movie, well, you’re probably the only one. Here’s more of Kenya, gratuitous bikini pictures included.

The thing about preseason games is, they don’t mean anything. The scores are purely cosmetic. But they mean EVERYTHING to the guys trying to make the team. Which probably explains why former Florida International linebacker Antwan Barnes, playing for the Baltimore Ravens, put a vicious cheap shot at Philadelphia Eagles punter Sav Rocca, who had just delivered a booming 65 yard punt from the end of his own endzone. Basically, an amazing feat. So while Rocca is jogging off the field, Barnes comes at him from behind and delivers a helmet-to-helmet blow to Rocca, basically flattening him. It was an obvious cheap shot, and what’s more, very dangerous. There is a reason why the NFL fines you out of the ass for hitting someone with your helmet — those thing are heavy and tough and they can shatter bone. Here’s the video of the cheap shot, and I love the commentary by the guys in the booth. Right on.

In case you haven’t heard, the Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker movie “Rush Hour 3″, the third installment in their “let’s do jokes while kicking ass around the world” franchise, kicked some ass at the box office over the weekend. While Chan’s crazy stunts and Tucker’s crazy mouth gets all the credit, having two smoking hot babes in your movie doesn’t hurt. The two babes in question is French model/singer Noemie Lenoir and rising Chinese actress Jingchu Zhang. I haven’t seen the movie myself, but I plan to the first chance I get. Which basically means when it hits DVD because, you know, I don’t have $50 to drop on a trip to the movies. How much does popcorn cost nowadays, a $20 spot?

In the new comedy “Superbad”, three high school geeks (or losers, if you will) try to get chicks before their graduation. It’s basically an ’80s high school screwball sex comedy transplanted to the year 2007. The trailer is a riot, but unfortunately it doesn’t have Rachel Melvin as one of its stars. Although Rachel is here at the premiere of the comedy, she’s not actually in the movie. Now I guess all we’ll have to do look forward to is riotously funny comedy. Hmm, okay, that’s not such a bad trade-off, then. Although I still think they should have given Rachel Melvin a role. Then again, I’m just partial to pretty girls.

So who is happy that CBS renewed “Jericho” for a second season despite having cancelled it once already? Me me me! Because let’s face it, when you have a TV show to do, you don’t have to worry about going on TV auditions, which allows you to run to the beach whenever you can and slap on a hot looking bikini. Which is what Ashley Scott, one of the stars of “Jericho”, did this Summer. With her show guaranteed a full second year, our girl showed off a rockin’ body in a two-piece. Did I tell you how much I love summer? Because I really, really love summer. God bless you, Summer!

There is no way you can tell me that you already knew Olesya Rulin would clean up this good from teen movies like “High School Musical”, where she plays the movie’s nerdy composer. And don’t get your panties into a bunch; although she looks young, Russian-born Olesya Rulin is actually twenty-one years old, though I suspect the youth-looking face helps to get roles. But don’t think Olesya is in love with her Disney work; she was a sexy siren in the horror sequel “Urban Legend: Bloody Mary”, and you gotta figure that something called “Vampire Chicks with Chainsaws” has to be as un-Disney as any movie can get. Catch her later this year in “The Dance” and “Forever Strong”. She’s one busy gal.

We don’t get Australian TV the way we get British TV (via the BBC America) here in the States, but if we did, I would have posted more spotlights on Australia’s TV starlets like Caitlin Stasey, who plays Rachel Kinski on the show “Neighbours”, which I’ve often heard about, but have never seen. According to IMDB.com, the show is a “serial chronicling the lives of the residents of Ramsay Street in the fictional Australian suburb of Erinsborough.” But don’t pigeonhole Caitlin. You can see her on the big screen in the French action movie “Taken” with Maggie Grace in 2008, and after that, a role in the comedy “Spring Breakdown”, which I think is about Spring Break and, um, a breakdown.

Keegan Connor Tracy has been in a ton of shows, but you probably don’t even know her name, or barely recognizes her. This is probably because, more often than not, she ends up being typecast as nerd-types. Her biggest role to date was on the short-lived sci-fi show “Jake 2.0″, where she played, you guessed it, a nerd scientist. All those stereotype roles keeps us from fully appreciating what Keegan Connor Tracy has to offer — namely a hot babe hidden behind glasses and too many clothes. Her latest stint was as a murder suspect on the USA Network’s “Psyche” and as an unnamed reporter on “Battlestar Galactica”. Someone give this woman a major role and let her shine already.

To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know why advertisers pay celebrities to shill for their products. Especially perfumes. What are we supposed to do when we see a famous person selling, say, a Chanel perfume? Go, “Oh look, Keira Knightley is selling Chanel! Let’s go buy some!” Naaaah. Then again, Keira Knightley sure looks good in this ad for Chanel perfume, so why am I complaining again? Well, basically because I like to complain, almost as much as I like to gawk at hot women. It’s a win-win situation, baby! So here’s Keira Knightley’s latest ad for Chanel. Stupid hat. It never fails. Whenever a beautiful woman is trying to get topless for me, a stupid hat shows up to ruin things.

If you watch a lot of TV poker on ESPN (and ESPN 2 and ESPN Classic and ESPN Infinity), then you’ve probably noticed that on the women’s side, there are a lot of Asian chicks who likes to gamble for the cash. But for some reason, I’ve never seen Evelyn Ng before. Now this can be of two reasons — maybe she plays a lot of cash games, so don’t show up on TV, which tends to show a lot of tournament play; or I’m blind, because the girl is gorgeous. I first saw Evelyn Ng playing around with that magician dork Criss Angel on his “Mindfreak” show. Keep a look-out for Evelyn Ng when you hit the Vegas tables, boys, you might just end up sitting next to one smoking Asian poker babe.

Initially I was a little bit disappointed by these pictures of Anne Hathaway in a bikini — and no, the fugly bikini she’s wearing has nothing to do with it. Then I realized, Yeah, I think I always expected that Anne Hathaway would look this curvaceous, and all of a sudden my disappointment turned to gratification. What I’m saying is, even when a celebrity doesn’t pull off the “bikini body” as well as we’d like, they’re still celebrities in their bikinis and that’s like, 5 times better than a regular ugly person in a bikini. And if you understand what all of that meant, then I got some swamp in Florida to sell ya. Anyways, Anne Hathaway bikini pictures.

Elisha Cuthbert is such a strange girl. Undoubtedly a very attractive girl, there are times when she can look pretty darn plain, and sometimes, even mildly unattractive. I say “mildly” because, let’s face it, when you’re born with good genes, even when you look ugly you’re still looking pretty good. Here’s Elisha Cuthbert at the beach, apparently taking pictures because she’s been told that she’s pretty good at it. Or not. You know how it is; hot girls are always told they can do anything because guys are secret hoping to get “with” them, as the kids say. Anyhoo, here’s Elisha Cuthbert hanging out at the beach in a two-piece bikini that she insists on covering up the bottom part. What a gyp. Almost, guys, almost…

The Sci Fi Channel has a new show, an “update” of the sci-fi camp classic “Flash Gordon”. The show, called the same thing, stars Eric Johnson as Flash, and Gina Holden as his ex-girlfriend turned TV reporter Dale Arden. The premiere was last night, and it’s actually not bad. Mind you, it’s not entirely great, either. I’m not sure about the Mongol setting, it looks so…lame. And Ming, which they made a Caucasian guy with blond hair, probably so they won’t be accused of being racists if they kept the Asian guy from the original movie, is really not that scary. The entire show is kind of plain, and the 90-minute pilot doesn’t really do anything all that awesome. Still, it’s got Gina Holden, and she’s quite the babe.

For a group of people who are known for their stout personality and stuffiness, the British are incredibly sexual when it comes to their newspapers. I mean, where else would you get half-naked lingerie models gracing real newspapers??? Okay, there are probably a lot of places, but definitely not in a country as advance as the UK. Mind you, not that we’re complaining, because every day with a half-naked Gemma Atkinson is a good day as far as we’re concern. Having said that, here’s Gemma Atkinson doing the half-naked thing in lingerie. Have I mentioned that British newspapers rule?

Josie Maran was a model turned actress turned woman of my dreams. Here she is at an old movie premiere. But nevermind that. Let’s talk Josie Maran. You gotta appreciate the way Josie is working her way through Hollywood, and she’s doing it in the way that’ll last, too. Instead of being given leading roles right off the bat, she’s had to slave her way through background roles in big and small movies, slowly but surely moving towards leading lady status. That’s the kind of experience in the movie business that will allow you to keep your head on your shoulders when you finally do hit it big. And make no mistake, Josie Maran WILL hit it big one of these days. Besides the fact that she’s an uber babe? She’s also very talented. But the uber babe part doesn’t hurt.

One of these days Americans will wise up and give Jennifer Love Hewitt her due, at which point she’ll be made a National Treasure and all the world will rejoice. Well, the parts of the world that has TV and likes shows like “Ghost Whisperer”, anyway, because unless you’ve seen the TV series, you’ve probably never seen Jennifer Love Hewitt before, and in which case I guess you wouldn’t care if she was made a national treasure of any country or whatnot. Um, okay, now that I’ve rambled on long enough, here’s some Jennifer Love Hewitt to get you excited about my turning her into a national treasure plan. Jennifer Love Hewitt: Hot as hell, except when you let her dress herself, in which case it’s an epic disaster.

Everybody’s going nuts for Chanelle Hayes. Heh heh, get it? Anyhoo. I guess the UK version of Big Brother chooses its female contestants the same way the American version does — by how hot they are. And Chanelle Hayes, one of the latest Big Brother girls, definitely qualifies. Here’s Chanelle Hayes in Nuts magazine. So the question is, is it a compliment or an insult to say that Chanelle Hayes looks a lot like Paris Hilton from certain angles? Hmm, I’m still not sure. (Of course we know what Paris would say, but nevermind her opinions.)

Krystal Forscutt is one of those women who are, shall we say, smokin’ hot. Which means she invades men’s dreams when they least expect it, but instead of waking up screaming, they do everything they can not to wake up. It’s a tough life, but someone’s gotta do it. Having said that, here’s your Daily Dose of Krystal Forscutt, because a woman this smokin’ needs to be taken in doses, lest you fry your brains and become a vegetable. And there’s nothing worst than a guy with a T1 Internet connection and the inability to use it to search for hot babes on the net. Brrrrrrrr. Don’t even make me think about it.

Fans of good TV rejoice! News from TVLand is that the USA network, doing the very smart thing, has already renewed its original show “Burn Notice” for a second season, while the show is still on episode 7 (a great episode, by the way). I don’t know how many episodes USA gives their shows per season, but this is a major coup for the producers of the show, and a real treat to fans of Michael Weston (Jeffrey Donovan) and his pursuit of finding out who “burned” him. Plus, fans of Gabrielle Anwar can also rejoice. I’ve never seen Gabrielle look hotter or tougher (the combination of that is just irresistible) on any movie or show. My favorite actors in a show that’s become my favorite show plus a guaranteed second season? Damn, my day is looking up!
