In the new horror movie “The Eye”, Jessica Alba plays one of those hot girls who doesn’t know she’s hot, who also happens to be blind and play violin. Once Jessica Alba gets a corner transplant, she’s able to see, except what she sees are ghosts. Don’t you hate it when that happens? I know I do. Anyhoo. Here’s a scene from “The Eye” — it has a naked Jessica Alba in the shower, looking very perturbed. Towards the end you get a glimpse of ass crack. Being that Jessica Alba was not pregnant during the making of the movie, and all the good bits are basically hidden, this is probably her and not a body double. You be the judge.

I love Jerry O’Connell. I’ve always been a fan of his. I don’t really know what it is, but I’m thinking it has to be the fact that Jerry O’Connell used to be fat when he was a kid, but he grew out of it, became a hunk, and now he’s married to a supermodel (Rebecca Romijn). Basically, Jerry O’Connell took John Stamos’ wife away from him. Now that deserves a nice round of applause! So here’s Jerry O’Connell doing, bar none, the best impression of Tom Cruise I’ve ever seen. He’s got it all down — the laugh, the hand gestures, the crazy eyes — basically, everything that we found spooky about Tom Cruise when he went on and on about the greatness of scientology. Great stuff!

January 2008 has almost come and gone, so what better way to celebrate is passing than with the appropriately named January Jones? Well, okay, I could probably think of a dozen other better ways to celebrate the passing of a really miserable month (stupid flu), but posting pictures of a pretty girl whose first name just happens to be that of a month just seems right somehow. You know, almost as right as kissing your cousin, but you didn’t know it was your cousin until much later, after which it was too late to regret the kiss? Yeah, like that. Have some January Jones for your January passing.

If the name Marion Cotillard doesn’t sound immediately familiar, don’t worry, it will soon enough. Besides being an Oscar-nominated actress hailing from France, Marion Cotillard is set to take Hollywood by storm, with major roles in big-time Hollywood movies like Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies”, which will star Johnny Depp and Christian Bale! You can’t get any bigger than that, folks. The only thing Marion Cotillard has to worry about is becoming another Penelope Cruz, or that girl in “The Beach” with Leonardo DiCaprio, etc. You know, a promising actress who quickly burns out. If all goes well, we’ll be seeing more of Marion Cotillard, such as this appearance in Studio magazine. Ooh lala indeed.

Wait, are you telling me that a French woman once modeled for Lara Croft aka Tomb Raider? Blasphemy! Isn’t that a job reserved specifically for our British hotties? Apparently not. French model turned actress Vanessa Demouy was the second model to slip on the tight short-shorts and carry the guns of Lara Croft, before giving it up. Nowadays, Vanessa Demouy is most known for her role on the French sitcom Models in Paradise. Yeah, I know, I didn’t even know the French had sitcoms, either! See, who says you don’t learn anything by reading the Random Page? Shame on you!

From what I can gather, and admittedly I could (and is probably) wrong, but I think Italian beauty Emanuela Folliero is some kind of TV host on a TV show or what have you. You know, on Italian TV, since I’ve never seen her on American TV, and I’m assuming since I myself put her in the “Italian Spice” category, she should and would have to be Italian. See, I love it when I realize I didn’t do something totally stupid, but in fact had a plan all along. Anyhoo, where was I? Oh right, Emanuela Folliero is a tall, leggy beauty from Italy, and for a babe well into her ’40s, she’s still got it going on and back again.

Was there anything better in the ’80s (1989, to be exact) than the sight of Alannah Myles on a porch rocking out to the smooth, silky sounds of “Black Velvet”? Hell no. And if you say differently, you deserve a kick in the teeth. Alannah Myles was a Canadian singer/songwriter (that means she actually writes her own songs, ya bums), who grew up on a ranch in Buckhorn, where she learned to appreciate horses and accounts for those pictures of Alannah Myles posing in the buff with horses. The guy loves horses, what can we say. And we loved her back in the ’80s (or 1990, if you really want to get technical about it). Let’s relive “Black Velvet” all over again, shall we?

And so it begins… I think we all sort of knew as soon as those nude pictures of Vanessa Hudgens flooded the Internet that we weren’t dealing with a goody two shoes here, that Vanessa Hudgens was destined to blow up in men’s magazines everywhere, and even a trip onto the nudie mags or two. This is definitely the beginning of that road, as here’s Vanessa Hudgens in Flaunt magazine. The spread isn’t anything great or risque, but it is suitably creepy and artsy fartsy, and trust me when I say that it won’t be long before she shows up either in FHM or Maxim or maybe Arena. Vanessa Hudgens is ready for adult-time, in case you weren’t aware of it when she snapped nude pictures of herself and sent them out into the world. And it begins with this appearance in Flaunt Magazine…

Good God, who is Katrina Bowden, and why haven’t we heard about her until now? Um, probably because we (as in me, myself, and I) are very lazy, and we only notice really smoking hot girls when we stumble across her while watching a movie or a TV show. And Katrina Bowden showed up while I was watching a re-run of 30 Rock — you remember, that sitcom about aliens who comes to Earth and get into trouble and all that junk that sitcom characters always get into? Or maybe it’s the one with the nerdy girl from Saturday Night Live about that fake TV show starring one of the Baldwin Brothers. Either/or. Yeah. Katrina Bowden played a girl on one of those shows, you figure out which one. Oh, to be 19 and smoking hot in Hollywood…

These Uma Thurman bikini pictures would be so much hotter if I didn’t know that Uma Thurman once dated (and probably did the horizontal mambo) with former videostore clerk turned geeky movie director Quentin Tarantino. Besides that tiny bump in the road to Uma Thurman uber hotness, Uma Thurman in a two-piece bikini on the beach is still pretty damn hot. Yes, that’s correct, I have no idea what I’m talking about. Please to ogle Uma Thurman bikini pictures. Can you believe Tarantino once hit this? Damn him.

Our Sports Babe of the Day is Polish chick boxer Agnieszka Rylik, who, like a lot of sports athletes who show up in our Sports Babe of the Day column, has a face that could use a little bit more time in the make-up chair, but the rest of her combined more than makes up for the rough looks. What I’m trying to say is, the girl has a tight body (as the kids would say) and what’s hotter than a girl with a hot body who can kick your ass if you don’t please her just right? That’s right, Agnieszka Rylik is that kind of hot. Take her in or she’ll beat the hell out of you.

Our Brit Babe for the day is Kellie Shirley, yet another product of British TV. In this case, the TV series Eastenders, where she played the character Carly Wicks. Unfortunately for Eastenders fans, Kellie Shirley will be leaving the show along with her character, which will royally suck for you Kellie Shirley fans. And if you’re not a fan of her character, well, it won’t matter to you, then. Anyhoo, here are some Kellie Shirley to take a gander at. I give her 9 out of 10 on the scale of Brit hotness.

I have to admit, I’ve been meaning to catch up with the CW’s superhero show Smallville ever since they introduced a certain blonde girl from Krypton as a new character, but, um, I never did. I’m sorry, but I have this strange obsession with AVOIDING things that are shown on the CW channel. I still hate the hell out of that name. But I really should tune into Smallville more often, especially if star Erica Durance (aka Erica Parker) is looking this good on the show as she does in this issue of Tecin-Rebel Magazine. Now I don’t know what Tecin-Rebel Magazine is, but when they can convince Erica Durance to take off her shirt and cover her ta-tas with her arms, they’re A-okay in my book.

Did anyone think that Jenna Fischer, who plays plain Jane office slave Pam on TV’s The Office would, given the chance, blow up as a sexy siren of the big screen? Okay, so maybe we shouldn’t really go that far, but I’m telling you, Jenna Fischer is getting hotter with every movie I see her in. First there were those corset scenes from “Blades of Glory”, and now there’s this nightie scene, plus a couple of more choice images, from “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story”. Pretty funny movie, too, but really, it’s worth seeing just for Jenna Fischer.

Our Italian Spice of the day is Alessia Merz, another Italian TV hostess who splits her time on TV, modeling nude for her calendars, and modeling nude in magazines. Basically, Alessia Merz looks really good nude, and spends most of her time modeling nude. As you can see from these pictures, she’s got legs that go on forever to next week, and those eyes are just to die for. Seriously, I’ve never seen an Italian woman that looks this exotic in my life, and Alessia Merz is the first and, until now, the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.

Now I’m going to go out on a limb and say that our Random Foreign Babe of the Day Miren Ibarguren is a Spanish model and TV actress. Then again, I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Either way, how can someone with the name “Miren Ibarguren” NOT be foreign, at least to us vanilla Americans? IMDB.com has an extensive filmography on our Foreign Babe, including TV series like “A tortas con la vida”, “Escenas de matrimonio”, and the movie “las 13 rosas”, which is about “Thirteen young women are sent to the firing squad early in the Franco regime, in retaliation for a political crime they were not involved in.” Wow, what a downer. But you know what’s not a downer? Yup, Miren Ibarguren in lingerie is definitely anything but a downer. Upper, maybe…

The first time I ever heard of Australian model turned actress Kate Fischer was when she starred in a bad, bad, BAD movie called “Blood Surf”, about a killer crocodile in Asia somewhere. You see, there are these documentary filmmakers, and they’re trying to make a documentary about a bunch of “rad” surfers, but instead they run across this giant crocodile that basically chomps on them one by one. Then, somewhere in there, Asian pirates show up and chase the girls around trying to rape them. Kate Fischer plays one of the girls, and you haven’t seen a rack until you’ve seen it in a tight top running around the jungle. Oh my!

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif is not nearly as famous as Aishwarya Rai, but then again, even God isn’t nearly as famous as Aishwarya Rai when it comes to international renown. That’s one of the benefits of being a famous actress in a country that has over 50 billion citizens. India is reaching 50 billion citizens, right? Well, it’s somewhere around there, or thereabouts. Katrina Kaif started her career as a model before putting those good looks into the movies, starring in films like “Boom”, “Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya”, and “Namastey London”, which I saw last week and just loved it. Well, not really, but kinda. Check out Katrina Kaif.

Are all the glamour models from the UK short, or is it just Hannah-joy Lewis? She stands a meager 5′4″, but when you have that kind of body, does it matter? Probably not. Hannah-joy, who is sometimes referred to as “Pop”, hails from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England, UK, which I actually visited once — or maybe it was just a bad dream. Mind you, not that I think visiting Bromsgrove, Worcestershire qualifies as a bad dream, or a nightmare, you know what I mean. Right? Anyhoo. Our Brit Babe of the day is glamour model Hannah-joy Lewis, who packs quite a bundle.

The guys making the latest Bond movie, Bond 22, aka “Quantum of Solace” (yeah, what a stupid name, I hate it, too) have released pictures of their two latest Bond girls. They’re off Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton. Olga will be playing Bond’s love interest, the “mysterious” Camille, while Gemma will be playing Agent Fields, who I am assuming is a fellow MI6 agent. (Bond works for MI6, in case you don’t know.) I’m waiting for more killer pictures, but right now seeing the two women in the upcoming movie is good enough. Check it out: Quantum of Solace with Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton. (I would have included a picture of Judi Dench, who is also in the movie, but, um, this ain’t the AARP site.)
