The Random Stuff of Interests Page

Well color me disappointed. When I heard that Cameron Diaz was going to be in FHM, I had expected something a little more, well, risque. Or at least, a lot more sexy than Cameron Diaz in a black nightie lounging around. Are you kidding me? This is coming from Cameron Diaz, a former model even before she picked up the acting game? Anyways, this latest appearance by Cameron Diaz in FHM is, of course, to promote her new movie “What Happens in Vegas”, which is liable to get buried at the box office when all the superhero movies come out at the same time. And showing up mostly dressed in FHM ain’t gonna help, Cammie. Geez, she was hotter in some of the NON men’s magazines like GQ, etc.

Our latest fine looking Italian from the land of spices is Beatrice Borromeo, a tall, thin model who is just a Victoria’s Secret catwalk away from becoming labeled an internationally renown supermodel. Instead, she’ll just have to settle for “queen of our lustful hearts”, or as the kids back in school used to put it, she’s the kind of girl who makes you walk with your school books held tight against your body, and very low, if you know what I mean, and I think all the boys out there know what I mean. Ahem. In any case, Beatrice Borromeo is originally from San Candido, Italy, which I think is about a mile or two from Barcelona. Or maybe it’s closer to San Diego. Look, I don’t own a map, okay? Anyhoo, enjoy.

Our Latin Flavor of the day is one Claudia Lizaldi, who is yet another product of the Wonder World of Big Brother Reality TV show, which is, as you might expect, as “realistic” as Britney Spears trying to convince you she’s not the world’s most terrible mother. After her stint on the Mexican version of Big Brother, Claudia Lizaldi parlayed her runner-up status into gigs on TV, including “Fea más bella, La”, “Oreja, La”, and of course, the one Mexican TV show I never miss, “Vecinos”, cause you know, I love me my “Vecinos”. (I think it means “chicken” in Spanish.) And oh yeah, there are all those modeling in men’s magazines, which is why we really love her.

Apparently TV Guide has a special issue where they list all the sexiest actors on TV, or something like that. I only know that TV Guide has been putting out a lot of pictures with some very sexy starlets from the world of the Idiot Tube, such as Katee Sackhoff (previously posted), Jennifer Love Hewitt (not previously posted) and now House’s Olivia Wilde. Olivia is one of those girls who has a great face, and that body is pretty great, too, but it can look way too thin at times, although she looks pretty darn healthy and fit in this picture. Hollywood starlets are so body conscious, that sometimes they don’t eat for months. No, really. Here’s Olivia Wilde in TV Guide looking good and junk.

Katee Sackhoff is sexy. If you haven’t realized that by now, then you just haven’t been keeping track of Katee as she has begun her post-Battlestar Galactia media blitz. Whoever is running Katee’s campaign knows that she needs a makeover in the public eye, not a surprise considering that her character on the show is basically the biggest butch in the galaxy. But Katee Sackhoff the actress is anything but butch. Here’s her appearance in TV Guide’s recent special issue of sexy TV stars. Yummy. I’d battle Cylons for that!

I was watching “Meet the Spartans” a few days ago (and God, what a piece of turd that one was, the only time I laughed was during the Britney Spears segments; what can I say, Nicole Parker is a riot), it occurred to me that after all these years, Carmen Electra is still pretty damn hot. One of these days those looks will go, and in fact, they’re starting to go now, but until they completely go, we’re going to keep remind you that Carmen Electra is still smoking hot when the clothes come off and the bra and panties come out to play.

I’m telling you, I haven’t been this excited to play a videogame (a friggin’ videogame for God’s sake!) since, well, EVER. I’ve never been this excited to get my hands on a tiny disk that, once inserted into a gaming console, will have me staring like a mindless zombie at my high-def Samsung TV screen for hours on end. But Grand Theft Auto 4 is just that kind of game. Here’s another four-minute chase gamplay that really minds you that this thing is a major improvement over the previous installment. The graphics are just spectacular and the gameplay is just mind-blowing. You could drive that semi for DAYS and never get tired of it. Seriously, when was the last time you could say that with a straight face?

If you don’t know who Sonja Zietlow is, then you’re probably like 99% of the rest of the world. Sonja Zietlow is, as the title suggests, is a German celebrity, and what they call a “television presenter” overseas, or what we call a “TV host” in the States. According to Wikipedia, she is “most famous for her own tabloid talk show Sonja, which aired from 1997 to 2001 on Sat.1, and, more recently, as host of several RTL shows, most notably “Der Schwächste Fliegt!”, German adaptation of the hit BBC quizshow “The Weakest Link” in 2001 and 2002, Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!, the German adaption of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.” Plus, she’s really, really hot.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is one Christina Stefanidi, a model from Greece, who, er, is Greek. According to IMDB.com, Christina appeared as herself in “TV tiglon”, a comedy talk show in, one presumes, Greece. Or maybe it’s in Mars for all I care, since the last time I bothered to do any research on our Random Foreign Babes of the Day was, oh, a few years ago, even before I even started this whole Random Foreign Babes of the Day thing, which, as you can imagine, is pretty damn amazing on my part. Wait, what? Nevermind. Christina Stefanidi. Please to ogle.

I had no idea Elle Magazine was so popular that they even have an edition in Russia. Seriously? People in Russia actually care about fashion? I thought they all drank Vodka, slip on the fur mink coats, and huddled around campfires in the back yard when it got really cold, which it rarely did, the whole place being built on an Indian burial ground and whatnot. But I digress. Bar Refaeli, aka Leonardo DiCaprio’s current girlfriend, is doing her supermodel thing in the pages of Elle’s Russian edition. The bra and panties look is outrageously hot, but the ones with the nerdy Tina Fey glasses are out of this world smoking hot.

Wow. Um. Wow. Okay, so I wasn’t totally against Scarlett Johansson releasing a musical album. After all, she’s wicked talented as an actress, so maybe, just maybe, she could be decent too as a musical artist. But, um, I don’t know, here’s Scarlett’s music video for “Falling Down”, her first single off her debut album, “Anywhere I Lay My Head”. It’s, uh, well, I don’t know. I thought her voice would be sweeter than that. Whoever this girl is that’s singing, it sounds like she’s smoked since she was 9, and is still doing 10 packs a day. But don’t take my word for it, judge for yourself. Does Scarlett Johansson suck as a singer, or not?

Remember the stunning news that Angie Everhart was engaged to midget actor Joe Pesci? And if you thought that was shocking, consider this: Pesci dumped her! No, I shit you not. In any case, Angie Everhart’s life has just gotten worst, because the sorta-actress was recently arrested for DUI in Los Angeles. Cops pulled her over at 2:00 a.m. on Thursday last week, and she is due in court May 15. Can you believe the nutso quality of Angie Everhart’s career? A super hot woman gets engaged to a has-been actor, then gets dumped by him, and now gets busted for DUI. Oooooh boy. Then again, considering her lack of a movie career, maybe getting arrested is the best thing that has happened to her. It’s when you CAN’T get arrested in Hollywood, as the saying goes, is when you need to worry.

I found this reveal very interesting, because I sort of swim in the world of TV and movie news, and I’ve begun seeing commercials and adverts for a new TV show called “Scarlet” all across the net, and I was very curious. Not least of all because I haven’t heard anything about it, and no one seems to be reporting it. Turns out, it wasn’t a TV show starring Natassia Malthe, it was in fact a TV commercial for LG’s new line of flatscreen TVs starring Natassia Malthe. Go figure. Check out some of the commercials below. Okay, so the commercials actually look like commercials, but the ads I’ve seen for the commercial actually makes it seem like a TV show. But in any case, now you know.

Good God. Can I tell you folks? I barely qualify as a “gaming geek”, but even I am just oozing with anticipation for this thing. That’s right, “Grand Theft Auto 4″. Holy Mother of God. Scheduled for release on April 29, 2008, this bad boy is going to rock your world. Check out a video review of the game and a couple of videos below. I’m amaze at how they’ve improved on the game’s existing graphics, and let me tell you, they were pretty damn good to begin with. And the gameplay was already solid, and if they can improve on that? Siiiiiiick, as the kids would say. This thing just looks like it’s going to rock all kinds of game out of existence. Surely, the best selling game EVER? We shall see.

I mentioned in the Kristen Bell posting previous to this one that I never “got” her appeal until just recently, but when it came to Leighton Meester, I’m proud to say that I “got” her from day one. The girl has always been intriguing to me, and everything I’ve seen her in has only added to my fascination with her. Leighton Meester is currently the star of the WB’s Gossip Girl, which is currently stirring up some controversy with their OMFG ads, which shows two people in the act of you-know-what. But never mind that. Here’s Leighton Meester in Instyle magazine, which I think is a fashion magazine. About style. Inside. This is actually not the best I’ve seen Meester look, but even her not-best is still pretty good.

I’ve already confessed this before, but when I first saw Kristen Bell, I didn’t really see what was so special about her. I still don’t think she’s overly special, but I gotta admit, the more I see of the little blonde dynamo (what is she, 4-foot and change?), the more I’m appreciating her. And yes, those bikini pictures from her movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” did add a lot to her appeal. The girl has one rockin’ body on her, that’s for sure. Here she is on the cover and in the pages of something called Atlanta Peach Magazine. Which I think is about peaches. In Atlanta. Maybe.

Well you knew it had to happen sooner or later — a woman known for selling sex for money has just sued a man known for selling women’s sex for money. Yes, it’s the trial of the century, the one we’ve all been waiting for — hooker versus pimp. WHO YA GOT??? At stake is a $10 million dollar lawsuit filed by Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the Eliot Spitzer call girl who took down a governor, and now she’s trying to take down Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis, who quickly released a special DVD featuring Dupre when he found out that she had been in his video archive all this time.

I’m reasonably certain, although I haven’t made a scientific study of it or anything, and indeed, I just thought of it the other day without any real research (mind you, not that a lack of credible evidence or data has ever stopped me from pronouncing something to be true in the past), but I’m pretty sure that Australian model Jennifer Hawkins is probably the most successful former beauty pageant in, like, EVER. And she didn’t even have to stoop to “accidentally” having a sex tape of her released, or appearing nekkid in Playboy to do it. Then again, I used to call dinosaurs Jesus horses until last week, when it was proven to me that evolution is actually real, so what do I know. More Jennifer Hawkins goodness.

Sure, Rebecca Romijn parlayed a very successful modeling career into a sorta success movie career, before disappearing into TV land, where her TV show got cancelled (what was it called again? Pepper Dennis or something?), and she seems to have very bad taste in men (seriously, Rebecca, marrying that fat kid from “Stand by Me”? What’s the deal with that?), but despite all that, you gotta admit that the girl is still in her prime. And by “prime” I of course mean I would still walk over smoking hot coal and beat up little kids just to get the chance to be dumped by Rebecca Romijn. She’s that hot. Here she is in some foreign edition of Esquire. Don’t ask which one; I don’t habla anything other than bad English.

How long has it been since Portishead rocked the trip-hop world with their second album, “Portishead”? Nearly a decade, for God’s sake. So what’s been keeping Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons and Adrian Utley from releasing a third album? Not all that long ago, they actually got together for an impromptu reunion that lasted exactly one night and one song in a pub somewhere, but now they’re back with a brand spanking new album called, appropriately enough, “Third”. The first single off “Third” is “Machine Gun”, and the grungy, barely-qualifies-as-a-music-video music video is below. Enjoy, Portishead fans. I know I am. The CD goes up for sale April 29, 2008 in the States.
