The Random Stuff of Interests Page

Not long ago Dennis Miller was on David Spade’s Comedy Central show “The Showbiz Show”, where Spade lampoons the Hollywood community and their, well, stupidity. I had heard about the appearance but missed it, but finally found a copy of the interview at Comedy Central’s own site. It’s as good of a sit-down as I thought it would be. Basically, Spade (or Spudly as Miller calls him) throws out the topics and Miller rips on them. And hey, if you’re one of those radio shows, tune in to Miller’s radio show. He’s funny there, too. Sal is also a riot.

See? Get it? Because British actress Sarah Alexander’s latest movie is the Claire Danes and Michelle Pfeiffer movie “Stardust”? So I use the words “dust” and “star” in the title? Oh man, I kill me! No, seriously, my genius is so prodigious, that I at times shock myself. (Of course this joke would have been even more funny if I hadn’t just spent the last 30 words or so explaining it. Oh man, I’m lame.) Anyhoo. Here’s Sarah Alexander, one of the stars of “Stardust”, a fantasy about a girl who comes from space and people chase her. And stuff. She ends up in Robert De Niro’s blimp and they fly off. And stuff. Um, look, it’s not like I paid attention, okay?

If you were to rank all the hot women coming out of Australia, pop singer/actress/cancer survivor Kylie Minogue would probably rank pretty high on that list. Then again, if you have enough time to spend ranking hot women from various countries (or in this case, continents), then you have way too much time on your hands, and you gots to go get a life, my friend. In which case, you should get in touch with me, because we both don’t have any social life to speak off. Ugh, my life sucks. But I digress. Here’s some down under hotness with Kylie Minogue. This woman rocks my world.

FOX’s new TV show “New Amsterdam” has promise, and it certainly has a killer premise as far as I’m concerned — the lead is a man who has lived for 1,000 of years, and uses his extensive immortal knowledge to catch killers as a cop. Not bad. Then there’s the cast: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the lead, I’ve never heard of, but there are a couple of babes in the picture, namely Alexie Gilmore and Zuleikha Robinson. Never heard of any of them, either, but from what I’ve seen of the show, it has promise. Alas, that’s the problem with geek shows — they’re incredibly hit and miss. You never know what the TV audience will go for or what they won’t, and FOX seems to be wobbling a bit on the show. I personally don’t think it’s getting enough promotion, but maybe that’ll change. Some promos from the show.

So there’s this kid name Cody Paul (some say he’s 11, others 12, and still others 13) who plays Pop Warner football, who is so frakkin’ good that he’s approached near legend status on the web, with a video highlight of his runs pasted on hundreds of sites. The thing is? This kid is really, really REALLY good. If you appreciate football, and if you know how hard it is to run through a D-line, you’ll give this kid all the props he can handle, because he’s THAT good. Check out all of his punt returns. Holy mother. If this kid continues to develop as he gets older — bloody hell, I don’t even want to imagine how good he’ll be. Behold, the growing legend of Cody Paul! And here’s the shocker — HE’S WHITE!!!

I’ve become obsessed with videos of people imitating Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video. Seriously, there’s something so catchy about it. Maybe it’s just the music, which has such great beats, pulses, all that stuff that makes a song great to listen to over and over. But really, maybe it’s the dedication it takes to actually get a bunch of people together to do the Thriller dance. Here’s one you haven’t seen before: a wedding ceremony where the bride and groom, with their guests, do the Thriller dance. No, seriously. It’s kinda cool, actually.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day has one of those names that is a little hard to spell, and even harder to say. It’s even harder if you’re not Polish and aren’t used to this kind of names. But I think you’ll agree that Polish pop singer Edyta Gorniak’s name is worth learning how to spell and pronounce. Currently one of the judges of American Idol-wannabe “Soapstar Superstar”, a Reality TV show where wannabe singers get their dreams of stardom crushed by the viewing audience, Edyta Gorniak has appeared in the Polish edition of Playboy three times, and we can see why. In a word, Edyta Gorniak is one delicious Polish sausage. Okay, so maybe that’s more than one word…

Marcela Kloosterboer’s name makes her sound like she hails from Germany or thereabouts, but she is in fact a bona fide Latin Flavor entry, and not another one of my cheats. Our lovely Marcela hails from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and is an actress model. According to IMDB.com, she was nominated for Best New Actress in 2004 for her work on “Roma”, which was about, um, Rome? Or not. Presently, Marcela can be seen on the shows “Bendita vida”, “Doble venganza”, and the mini-series “Sin código”. And you know I can’t go a day without my “Bendita” and “Doble” episodes. Um, yeah, I’m dying here, guys. Enjoy some Marcela Kloosterboer.

It’s that kind of the day again, when we dip across the pond to find a new British lovely to feature. This time it’s Emma Pierson, one of the stars of the BBC Channel’s new hot soap “Hotel Babylon”. I’ve been seeing promos for the show all over BBC America, and it looks more like “Sex Hotel”, if you know what I mean. Looks like a lot of people constantly getting it on on that show, which there is nothing wrong with, mind you. Except, you know, if it’s a hotel and everyone’s constantly having sex, who is running the hotel? Or the front desk? But I digress. Emma Pierson is hot. Look for more “Hotel Babylon” babes to grace our site soon enough.

The more I see of French tennis babe Tatiana Golovin, the more my curiosity is pique. She’s not exactly a classic beauty the way Maria Sharapova or Anna Kournikova is (that’s the problem with not being Russian, I suppose), but there’s a certain something about her that’s, shall we say, “game”. And check out this spread by Tatiana Golovin for FHM Magazine. Ooh lala indeed! She’s looking good. Not exactly revealing stuff, especially from the girl who bucked Wimbledon’s no-red-panties rule, but still quite enticing. Very classy, hot, and shows off her good side nicely. I gotta start watching tennis more…

Emanuelle Chriqui has a new movie coming up with Adam Sandler called “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” that’s bound to be a hit. Why? Duh, didn’t you hear me? It’s an Adam Sandler movie. Even better, it’s an Adam Sandler comedy. People love Sandler when he does comedy, but not so much when he tries to pull off a dramatic role. And check out the premise of “Zohan”: “A Mossad agent fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist.” Ha! Sandler, of course, plays the Mossad agent, and he looks pretty ripped in these pictures from the movie. Dude, Adam Sandler looks like a total badass! (And Emanuelle don’t look too bad, either.)

As the title may have hinted at, Rachael Carpani is an Australian actress, primarily known her for role on the long-running Aussie TV series “McLeod’s Daughters”, which if my fantastic observational skills are correct, is about a guy name McLeod and his daughters. And other stuff happens. In any case, Rachael won’t be confined to the land down under for very long; she’s already landed a role on an American sitcom being fronted by comedian Janeane Garofalo. She best make other plans, though, because I don’t think that show is gonna last. Janeane Garofalo is great as the “plain best friend” in movies and TV shows, but it ain’t gonna happen with her as the lead of a show.

Who is Jena Malone, and why do we care that she’s been spotted in a two-piece bikini apparently shooting some kind of something or rather? Um, because she’s kinda famous, and she’s in a bikini, and those two things put together means BINGO, baby! And that’s with all caps, too, in case you were wondering. But who IS Jena Malone? Well she’s an American actress who has been in “Saved!”, “The Ballad of Jack and Rose”, and “Pride and Prejudice”. Basically, she’s a prolific actress who has been in a lot of movies that you’ve probably never seen. Which is strange, as she’s been nominated for a Golden Globe, which would mean she’s a pretty good actress. Then again, I’ve been nominated for a Golden Globe, and I’ve never even been in a movie! But I digress.

Katherine von Drachenberg, aka Kat Von D, is the star of the basic channel A&E’s new show “LA Ink”, a spin-off of “Miami Ink”. It’s essentially about a female tattoo artist from L.A. who moves back home to open her own tattoo parlor. And boy, is she tat! The girl has tattoos all over her body, but somehow still manages to look incredibly good. (Usually girls who cover themselves up with unremovable ink strikes me as kind of freakish.) Which probably explains why the folks at A&E gave her her own show. Wouldn’t you rather follow the life and times of a hot L.A. tattoo artist in L.A.? I know I would. I even saw the premiere episode, and it has promise, but only as long as Kat Von D continues to look that good. Tats have never looked better on a hot chick. (The whole “hot chick” part helps, of course.)

Hey, kids, wanna buy something for your doggie to chew on? Try a Michael Vick chew toy for dogs! That’s right, Michael Vick hasn’t exactly been man’s best friend (he-yo!), so why not let your dog take bite out of his ass and see how he likes it? Well now you can. Some entrepreneur has created a Michael Vick Chew Toy for dogs. It’s just Michael Vick standing around in Falcons uniform sans helmet. I wonder how long before they the Atlanta Falcons or the NFL shut this guy down? Oh well, it’s the thought that counts, right? I found a picture of the chew toy from some guy selling it on Ebay. If you head over there now, you’ll see a ton of these on sale.

Homer Simpson, fat and incompetent father of the Simpsons brood, likes to say “d’oh” when he does something wrong. And since Homer tends to do a lot of things very wrong very often, he tends to say “d’oh” a whole lot. Now some geek without a life has collected all of Homer’s “d’oh” utterances and put them on YouTube. Frankly I’m stunned the video hasn’t been pulled yet. I would think FOX has trolls that go around pulling videos of their shows off YouTube and other video upload places. Check it out, kids. Homer’s Greatest D’ohs.

CNBC financial news babe Erin Burnett is being called Maria Bartiromo 2.0, which she’s not liking so much. And really, who can blame her? Maria B. was sooooooooo yesterday, and Erin B. is soooooooo today. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t spend my time watching financial news networks like CNBC, but when I noticed Erin Burnett on TV, I couldn’t help but stand up and take notice. She’s a riotous looking babe for sure, and smart to boot. You gotta be smart to work in the finance news niche; pretty faces with no brains gets eaten alive there. So keep up the good work, Erin Burnett, and a spread in Maxim or two wouldn’t hurt, either, babe.

As many times as I’ve written this, I still can’t believe it’s true: swimsuit model bombshell Nikki Ziering used to be married to that dude from “Beverly Hills 90210″, but the dude divorced her. Uh huh. The guy divorced HER. I’m telling you, there’s something not right with this world when that’s allowed to happen. But in any case, here’s a Nikki Ziering appreciation post, because there’s no problem in this universe that can’t be solved by ogling half-naked pictures of Nikki Ziering in a two-piece bikini. I’m telling you, the woman was born to wear a bikini. Oooooooh boy.

I always thought that some of the best episodes, and the best years of FOX’s now-cancelled “That 70’s Show” was during the period where Allison Munn played Caroline, the girlfriend of Fez. Caroline was a crazy chick who didn’t take no for an answer, and if she didn’t get her way, well, she tended to do some pretty psychotic things. Maybe it’s the whole crazy psycho bitch persona, but that kind of woman drives me nuts. And Allison Munn ain’t bad to look at, either, which is always a plus. Since “That ’70s Show”, Allison has moved on to the new show “Carpoolers”, and can be seen on the big screen in “Farm Girl in New York”. Love those “’70s Show” reruns…

You gotta admit it, seeing girls like Katy Louise Saunders in Italian cinema makes you want to fly over there tomorrow and get into the Italian film industry. Then again, maybe that’s just me. Other kids dream about being firemen, movie stars, and airline pilots, and I dream about spotting random foreign girls in Italy and wanting to get with them. Hey, call me nuts (no, on second thought, don’t), but that’s just how I like to roll. Do kids still use that kind of phrase? How about raise the roof? Eh, whatever. Here’s actress Katy Louise Saunders. Although she works primarily in Italy, she’s made American appearances on shows like “Law and Order”. Then again, hasn’t everyone? That show has been on for 1,000 years or something.
