The Random Stuff of Interests Page

You know, I’ve made a half-dozen posts on Italian actress/model Elisabetta Canalis, and I still don’t really know all that much about her. She had a small part in “Deuce Bigelow 2: European Gigolo” that didn’t really go anywhere, but maybe her role in “Virgin Territory” with Hayden Christensen and Mischa Barton will do more for her international career. One thing’s for sure about Elisabetta Canalis — that face, combined with that body, is just too damn fantastico, as they say in Italy, to go to waste on just Italian TV. Hey, I’m sure Italian TV is all fine and what have you, but come on, you gotta share this with the world!

Let’s face it, if looking at really super hot pictures of a woman in lingerie becomes some kind of viral disease where just by looking at said pictures you suddenly went nuts and started to eat your own arm, there are worst ways to go, especially when those pictures are of the uber hot Irina Sheik, who really needs to be seen more on TV and other places where people, you know, see other people. Okay, so this post makes even less sense than my normal ramblings, but you try justifying posting half-naked pictures of a really awesomely hot supermodel five times a day and see how you fare. But I digress. Irina Sheik. Lingerie. Madness!

I can’t believe that not all that long ago I was geeking over Samsung’s new iPhone clone Instinct. Before you know it, Apple has just unveiled their iPhone 2.0, and holy crap, this thing is just going to be gangbusters. And the best part? (I mean, besides all the new additions, like faster 3G internet and third-party applications?) It’s gonna be cheaper. How much cheaper? Try $199 for your very own iphone, compared to the $499-$600 the first iPhone was going for just a year ago. So let me get this straight — it’s a better phone, and it’s cheaper? Sign me up for one, Steve Jobs! So when can you expect to be getting yourself one? Mark your calendars, boys and girls — JULY 11, 2008!

To be perfectly honest with you, I’m not sure how a picture of Lindsay Lohan standing in a mini-skirt and wearing a jacket without any bra on helps to sell Visa cards to the masses, but it’s not like it’s gonna hurt, either. If I had to guess, I would say this is an abstract advertising campaign that says something to the effect of, “As Lindsay Lohan’s nice cleavage, I too, uses Visa everywhere I go.” What, too far off? Oh well. Here’s Lindsay Lohan rising back from the ashes of booze and pseudo lesbian rumors to claim what’s hers — pitchwoman status for credit cards in another country. Now that’s girl power.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is one Natalia Belova, a model who hails from the cold tundra of Tomsk, Siberia in Russia, where as we all know, vodka is given to babies when they’re 2, thus helping them to fight off the harsh Siberian winter. Or at least that’s what my buddy Al told me, since he’s the only one I know who has visited Siberia before. Then again, Al has been known to lie every now and then, such as when he tells me about Siberia, so you know, he’s a lying bastard and whatnot. Anyhoo, Natalia Belova is a lovely lass who is known worldwide as a lingerie model. Or at least that’s what Al tells me. When you’re ogling Natalia Belova’s lingerie pictures, try not to get drool on your keyboard. Please to enjoy.

For a while there, it really did seem as if Natassia Malthe was going to bust out and become a major Hollywood star. Our real introduction to her was in 2005’s “Elektra” with Jennifer Garner, but alas that movie bombed the hell out of everything it touched, so it didn’t really push Natassia’s career into the stratosphere as we had expected. But since then she’s still worked pretty steadily, with roles in “Dead or Alive”, “Bloodrayne II” and the upcoming “Alone in the Dark II”. Okay, so maybe steadily isn’t really such a good thing when you’re stuck in Uwe Boll movies. But hey, she’s working, right? Here’s Natassia Malthe in FHM Germany, reminding us once again why we should pay more attention to her.

Hey look, it’s the Atomic Kitten girls, and they’re all wearing bikinis! Why, that’s Liz “Lil” McClarnon, Natasha “Tash” Hamilton, and Jenny Frost, otherwise known internationally (with the exception of Iran, where pop music sung by girls in itty bitty clothes is considered a stoneable offense, alas) as the Atomic Kittens! Okay, so I didn’t actually pull those three names out of the air; I actually looked them up on Wikipedia. As a result, if the band has since changed members, and one of those girls in the pictures below is not one of the ones I listed, um, blame Wikipedia? Anyhoo, you gotta hand it to whoever is managing the Atomic Kittens. They certainly know what boys like — their girl band members in bikinis. Now that’s progress!

On her Myspace page, our Brit Babe Invasion of the day, British glamour model and hottie extraordinaire Kerri Parker details her career since entering FHM’s High St Honeys, before moving on to represent England in The Model Of The Universe finals in Ghana. She’s since tried to move beyond modeling into acting, with roles in “The Bourne Ultimatum” and the upcoming “Dark Knight”. But don’t get excited, it’s a small role, she’ll be playing “Maroni’s Mistress”. But hey, everyone’s gotta start somewhere, right? James Cameron started directing crappy killer fish movies and George Clooney had to suffer through the indignity of being in a Roseanne Barr TV show. Ouch. But nevermind them. Here’s Kerri Parker. Please to enjoy.

If model and kinda actress Cora Skinner does end up being a regular on MTV’s fake Reality TV show The Hills, then there is a very good reason I might actually tune into that thing just to ogle her. Now you may be asking yourself, am I really that shallow and superficial? Oh hell yes, especially when the object of my shallowness and superficialness looks as insanely awesome as Cora Skinner does in a two-piece bikini. Check her out at the beach. See, this is how she usually looks when we head out to enjoy a lazy Sunday at the beach together, although she sometimes prefer black bikinis — wait, what? Where am I? Oh right, wide awake. Damn. Anyhoo. This is Cora Skinner, she’s a model, and bikinis were made for girls like her.

A random posting of British lovely Elizabeth Hurley is always a good thing. Hurley turns 43 in two days, and she’ll still look better than most girls 20 years younger than her. Of course, being that her entire career depends on her looking good, and one suspects, she does everything to keep it that way, I guess we might be giving her too much credit for looking like a total babe at 42 (going on 43). Then again, if you ever find yourself thinking that deeply while ogling pictures of Elizabeth Hurley in a bikini, then you have a serious problems on your hands, bro, and a swift run into the wall will fix you right up. What are you waiting for? Run, now!

Sunday may seem like a strange day to showcase a Random Supermodel of the Day, but let’s face it, it’s been ages since I encountered a new supermodel that I hadn’t seen before and was able to use it as an excuse to post really hot pictures of her, so whatever, right? Anyways, our Random Supermodel of the Day is one Lorraine Van Wyk, who hails from somewhere in South Africa, although that might not be true. Or it could be. Point is, there’s very little about her, but she’s done a lot of print work, and I believe, a videogame or two. Either way, she’s worth posting on a slow, boring ass Sunday.

Let’s face it, unless you’re a 40-year old housewife, there’s absolutely no reason why you should ever, EVER, watch ABC’s The View program. Come on, how much of the inane chatter that goes on on that show, and at such high decibels, and any sane person take before they blow out their own brains? But if you absolutely had to watch The View (say, your girlfriend or your dog forces you to watch it with them), then there’s at least Elisabeth Hasselbeck to focus your entire conversation on. In a show full of old, nagging hags, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the one hotness that makes an otherwise torturous affair just this side of bearable. Speaking of Elisabeth, here’s the baby-dropping babe having lost her baby fat and in a bikini on the cover of Fitness Magazine. Get a nice “view” of that bikini body. Get it? Eh.

Okay, so I’ll probably never end up watching Michelle Trachtenberg’s new movie “The Circuit”, which is described as such: “The dynamic between a father and his estranged daughter spills over to the race track, where the duo go head-to-head.” Um, yeah, sounds riveting. This thing is also supposed to appear on the ABC Family channel, and I don’t even know if I get that channel on my Dish network, or if I do, where it is on the dial. But hey, I still couldn’t resist posting these pictures of Michelle Trachtenberg from the movie, mostly because that Michelle in that racer’s suit is just so gosh darn — how do you say it? oh right — hot.

So what’s it like being a Scientologist? Hey, everyone wants to know. Some say it’s a cult. Others say it’s an honest to goodness religion designed to help you get through with life, to help others, and as Tom Cruise would say, to save people involved in car accidents. Or something like that. Anyhoo, here’s a good refresher course on what it means to be a Scientologist. And yes, I’m pretty sure the dude in the plaid shirt i.e. the country guy is a plant, while everyone else is real. Maybe. So what’s it like being a Scientologist? In a word: it’s friggin’ awesome, dude. See and hear it for yourself if you don’t believe me.

According to the movie “300″, if it wasn’t for the Greeks, we’d all be speaking Persians. Or whatever language the Persians end up speaking hundreds of years later after they invaded Greece and, later, the world. My English is crap enough, can you imagine me speaking Persian? Ooooooh boy. But anyhoo, our Random Foreign Babe of the Day Nikoletta Ralli hails from Greece (what, you thought I brought up Greece for no reason?), where she participated in and won the Miss Tourism Queen International 2005. Yes, I didn’t even know such a thing existed, too, but it does, and Nikolette won it in 2005. And as you can see from the pictures below, Greek tourism has never looked hotter.

Ol Samsung and Sprint have team up to put out their Apple iPhone clone a year later, and it’s called Instinct. Word is that besides having everything the iPhone has, the Instinct will improve on it with a better Internet connection (broadband speeds, apparently), a video and still camera, and get this — live TV. But what will probably sell it like hotcakes is a promised lower price than the iPhone, but of course, it remains to be seen how much lower. I’m definitely getting me one when this thing hits the street. Forget all the other goodies, I just want broadband connection on my phone. Or at least, as close to the real thing as possible.

Kirsty Lee Allan is what they call a “rising star” in the world of entertainment. You know, that place where people who pretend to be other people for way too much money work in? Yeah, that one. Anyways, Australian beauty Kirsty Lee Allan started life as a background dancer for some group called Shakaya and somehow parlayed that into a career in TV. She’s probably most known for starring in the Aussie TV show Sea Patrol, playing the character Rebecca ‘Bomber’ Brown, the ‘Bomber’ of course is her character’s nickname, who is known for her ability to shoot seals and harpoon whales with nothing but a paddle. No, not really, but it makes her character sound better, right? Anyways, get an eyeful of Kirsty Lee Allan and her bountiful assets.

It’s funny, but we posted Leona Lewis under our Brit Babe Invasion category when we first noticed her, and today that’s come through — Leona Lewis has, indeed, invaded American soil. And she’s done it through the power of music, which as Celine Dion has told us, can defeat anything. Or was that my grandma? Either/or. Anyhoo. Leona Lewis’ latest attempt to win American hearts and minds is showing up on the cover and in the pages of Blender magazine. Unfortunately it’s not a bikini-licious spread, but eh, you can’t always get what you want, which is what my girlfriend says to me every night. (And of course by “girlfriend” I of course mean the smoking hot girlfriend that doesn’t actually exist. But I digress.)

Elizabeth Banks has always been hot. One of those girls who seems to “get” that she’s hot, but isn’t so in love with the fact that she’s hot that she wouldn’t do something like, say, cover her face with paint and pretend to throw a football for a photoshoot. Then again, I don’t know Elizabeth Banks personally (unless you count those times I hid outside her window in the bushes, but perhaps I’ve said too much), so she could end up being a spoiled movie star who is a biotch to be around. But you know what? I kinda doubt that. Here’s Elizabeth Banks in Esquire. I’m telling you, this girl is strangely sexy in that very hard to definee way…

Let’s face it, minus Nicole Scherzinger the Pussycat Dolls are breakable. (Har har, get it? Dolls? Breakable? Wait, that didn’t really work. Um, let’s just go along with it.) Where was I? Oh right. My brilliant comment that without Nicole Scherzinger, the Pussycat Dolls are extremely breakable, i.e. they ain’t all that hot. But add Nicole to the mix and it’s babe heaven in every crack alleyway of America. Here’s Nicole Scherzinger on the set of the Dolls’ new music video for “When I Grow Up”. Wait, I thought she had gone solo? Oh well, whatever, does it matter? The Dolls are somewhere in the background. I think. Does it matter?
