The Random Stuff of Interests Page

Zhanna Friske is from Russia with grand hotness, and um, that’s basically all I know about her. So here are my buddies at Wikipedia with a little helping hand: “Zhanna Friske is a Russian film actress, singer, and socialite. Her notoriety began when she joined the all-girl pop band Blestyashchie some time at the end of the 1990s, which she left in 2003. Friske soon embarked on a solo career as a singer and an actress, and occasional model, and keeps enjoying strong media interest. Much of this attention is based on her physical appearance, rumoured relationships, and notable public appearances in risque outfits. Internationally Friske is known for her roles in the motion pictures Night Watch and Day Watch as Alisa Donnikova. Although the 20-minute love scene involving Friske was edited from Day Watch by the director, Timur Bekmambetov, she will reappear in the last installment of the trilogy, Final Watch.” So now you know.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is former Greek beauty queen Katerina Stikoudi, who once held the title of Miss Hellas. And she’s not just a pretty face, either. Katerina is a children’s swimming instructor, and has a medical degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Medical School in Thessaloniki to boot. Now I don’t know what she plans to do with that medical degree, since as we all know, hot girls can’t be doctors, otherwise guys with knives stuck in their stomachs would be too busy staring at her to, you know, get well.

Why, Katharine, why? It’s not because the music stuff didn’t take off, was it? Gosh, I hope getting dropped from your label didn’t cause you to marry some plain 42-year old dude. I mean, come on, I’m even plainer than that guy, and I got at least 20 good years on him! Gah. The only thing worst than a really, really hot 20-something girl like Katharine McPhee (23, to be exact) marrying a really old guy (42!) is watching Katharine McPhee lose to Taylor Hicks on American Idol. I mean, seriously, what is up with this country? Anyhoo. Katharine has gone and gotten married to producer Nick Cokas over the weekend, and men everywhere weep. How many more pictures like the ones below will we continue to see before Nick spills his demon seed into our beloved curvaceous Katharine?

So you’re going out for a Sunday drive, and you’re following all the proper rules and stopping at red lights and all that good stuff, when out of nowhere a guy on a moped scooter blindsides you. But of course, you’re driving a frakkin’ car, and he’s riding a dumbass moped, so of course you win and he loses. But man, it was fun watching him fly through the air after the vehicles make conctact! So here you go, a moped blindsides a car and the rider goes flying like a stick of dynamite in an old Western. Yes, that analogy does in fact make sense. Take my word for it.

Wow. I don’t know if this is the real thing or what, or if this some kind of amateur home video music video shoot (or an attempt at one), but wow. The song blows, of course, and the production value is on the scale of my home movies (and that’s insulting my home movies), but I’ll be damn if this thing isn’t nearly perfect. All you have to do is put the volume on mute and just watch a really hot girl with fake boobs but a nearly flawless body parading around in a teeny bitty two-piece bikini on the beach. God Bless The Hills.

Yeah, yeah, so there was a great football game going on at Superbowl 42 (Roman numerals are so last week), but the real great stuff was going on in the background, what with all the high-priced hookers, celebrity parties, and then there’s this Victoria’s Secret extravaganza, where Victoria brought out the big guns to entertain the masses in the form of Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, and Karolina Kurkova. Okay, so maybe Lima is the only big gun, but you know, throw in a hot blonde and an equally hot African American and you got yourself a royale supermodel bash. Check them out at the VS party doing what they do best — looking hot by just showing up.

You gotta love Victoria Pratt. She went from starring in a cheesy TV show about girls underground fighting robots (remember Cleopatra 2525?) to a TV show that was basically a rip-off of “The X-Men” movies and comic books called Mutant X, to now starring in a TV movie about adventurers who journey to the center of the Earth in the, appropriately enough, “Journey to the Center of the Earth”, where she played a 19th century woman of means. And you know what? Victoria Pratt was pretty damn good in the role, too; the girl has come a loooooooong way from Cleopatra 2525, that’s for sure. Check out some promos of her from Mutant X. Hot, hot, HOT.

Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella, Jessica Biel as Pocahontas, and Rachel Weisz as Snow White? Hey, why not, we’re tired of seeing the same ol animated girls, why not slip a famous celebrity into the role, photograph it, and use it to promote Disneyland? Um, yeah, that’s the idea. I have to admit, the Jessica Biel as Pocahontas one is really hot, but the Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella brings up all manner of ideas that would break the law in a number of States in the Union. And just for laughs, there’s model Gisele Bundchen as Wendy from Peter Pan and Jennifer Lopez as Jasmine from Aladdin.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is Eda Ozerkan, and no, I have absolutely no idea who she is, although she looks a lot like a model to me, with a combination of killer body, killer curves, and a killer face. Then again, she could be an undiscovered actress and I wouldn’t know the difference. Fact is, the girl has got one of the best bodies I’ve ever seen in a magazine, and I don’t say that very often. Okay, so maybe I do say that often, but this girl is HOT, and maybe she comes from Turkey or thereabouts.

It was the stunner of the year — the perfect New England Patriots, 18-0 coming into Superbowl 42, got their asses handed to them by the New York Giants’ insane, insane, insane defense. Final score: Giants: 17, Patriots: 14. Ironically, the Giants’ upset over the Patriots reminded me of the 2002 Superbowl, when the Pats upset the heavily favored Rams. Go figure. This means Tom Brady won’t be getting fitted for his 4th Superbowl ring. But before you feel too sorry for Tom Brady, remember this: He’s going home to Gisele Bundchen (below), and we’re … not.

If you don’t know who Chris Berman is, then you don’t watch ESPN religiously, or at all. Anyone who watches sports and ESPN knows the name Chris Berman — he’s a famous sports anchor. And from all appearances, he’s a great guy. Um, maybe not. Here’s a behind-the-scenes video of Chris Berman on the set of Monday Night Football going off on the crew around him. It’s a 90-second video of Berman cussing like a sailor and chastising the crew around him for being unprofessional. My favorite line: he keeps asking the crew if they’ve ever done this before. Fantastic stuff!

Our Random Supermodel of the Day, Zoe Duchesne, hails from Canada. Montréal, Quebec, to be precise, but then again, since I used to think Canada was a city in Mexico just last year, whatever, right? But back to Zoe Duchesne. She’s worked for Annabelle, Bobbi Brown, Caroche, Chanel, and has been on the covers of magazines like Flare, Biba, and Elle. And no, I don’t know what Biba is, so don’t ask. Good boy, now go fetch. Please to enjoy a flimsily dressed Zoe Duchesne. I love supermodels, can you tell?

Who is Larysa Poznyak? I don’t know, but I saw her on TV one night and she was really hot, so onto Google I went in search of answers. Well as it turns out Larysa Poznyak (whose name, yes, I have to cut and paste everytime) is a former Russian model now living in the U.S., who, according to her Myspace page, is 20-years old and is “Hollywood’s Youngest TV Host”. Now I don’t know what TV she hosts, but if she wears a two-piece bikini during them, I’m tuning in! Okay, maybe it’s going to take more than a really hot girl in a itty bitty two-piece bikini to get me to tuned in, but — um, what am I saying? No it doesn’t!

Earlier last year I made a post about Natalie Denning and marveled at her ability to fill out a two-piece bikini. And you know what? Almost a year later, she’s still filling those bikinis out pretty damn well. So well, in fact, that I had to make another post just to let you know. So who is Natalie Denning? She’s a British glamour model who has been in Nuts, ZOO, Loaded and Maximum. And oh right, in case I didn’t mention it before, but Natalie Denning looks really, really good in a two-piece bikini. Dear God, thank you whoever invented the bikini!

Our Latin Flavor of the Day, Viviana Greco, claims Argentinian as her nationality, but Italy as her ethnicity. Which sort of makes her latin flavor “spicy”, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. Or not. Look, I can’t hold your hands on all of this stuff, so, you know, get with it or sumthin’. Anyhoo. Viviana Greco is a model and is a self-proclaimed soccer (football to you international folks) fanatic, which means I really gotta start watching soccer. I mean, it can’t possibly be as lame and boring as it appears on TV, right? Well? Am I right or not? Uh, you guys are no help at all.

Being that I’m a sports fan, I get two benefits of watching the Superbowl every year: one, I get the great games, which have been great basically for the last 10 years that I’ve watched the Superbowls closely; and two, I get to watch all the cool commercials and, as a movie fan, all the cool movie trailers for upcoming films. Who could forget that totally awesome trailer for “The Matrix” movie? With the bullet-time effect? So in honor of the upcoming Superbowl (it’s this Sunday, ya bums), here is an advance preview of the 2008 Superbowl commercials that you’ll see in-between the hits, the interceptions, and the Patriots kicking the crap out of the Giants. (Or vice versa.) Thanks Associated Press!

Unless you’re an avid Australian TV watcher, then you have no idea who Anna Torv is, but that’s going to change when J.J. Abrams’ new TV show Fringe hits the air sometime this year. Why? Because Abrams has tapped the mostly unknown Anna Torv to star as the female lead in Fringe, which means she’ll be getting the Jennifer Garner, Evangeline Lilly, and Keri Russell treatment very soon — all three women were nobodies until Abrams casted them as the female leads in his shows, and now they’re more famous than Jesus Christ. Well, probably not, since JC is pretty famous, but you know what I mean. Check out some Anna Torv. Yeah, I gotta say, she has a certain Evangeline Lilly/Jennifer Garner thing going on there…

Imagine naming your kid Lake Bell. Geez, what kind of trouble would she get into throughout high school? Then she grows up, and everything changes. Hollywood producers realizes she’s too hot to be walking the streets selling T-shirts, so they put her in movies, TV shows, and now, she’s ready to blow up in “Over Her Dead Body” with Eva Longoria. And hey, if the movie career doesn’t work out, there’s always TV. Lake Bell is one of the stars of David E. Kelley’s Boston Legal TV show, which I hear is about the law…in Boston. Please to take a dip into Lake Bell.

A year or so back there was a dance movie called “Step Up” that did so well (shocking well, you might say) that they made a sequel: “Step Up 2: The Streets”, which I take to mean that they took the stepping up into the streets, with all the gum and trash and syringes and whatnot. But never mind what the movie is about. One of its stars is the gorgeous Briana Evigan, a new actress who looks damn fine gyrating in the rain (or manufactured water, as it were) according to the trailers and these pictures. Check out some Briana Evigan, and step up and admit she’s hot, or else.

Our Random Foreign Babe of the Day Ksenia Sobchak is called by some the “Paris Hilton of Russia”, which to tell you the truth, I’m not sure is a compliment. (Although I’m certain Paris Hilton would argue the point.) Besides being the daughter of the first democratically-elected mayor of Saint Petersburg (what, you didn’t know?), Ksenia Sobchak is also the host of the reality TV show “Home-2″ on the Russian channel TNT, and you know I love me my Russian reality TV shows. Why, every time I’m in Moscow, I never miss them. Which is pretty amazing, since I have never been in Moscow my entire life, but that’s another story. Ksenia in her shiny boots. Please to ogle.
