Junior is on a mini-working-sorta-vacation, so I'm writing the page for a bit. He's in Amsterdam with some buds, the lucky dog, but will resume writing the page from Europe in a day or two, assuming he doesn't discover brown cafes.

Hey, Scoop:

(Regarding Lolo Ferrari's death "by natural causes")

It was reported recently in the Brit press that Lolo Ferrari's husband has been charged with her murder.

Scoop: "Hey, that sounds like a natural cause to me."

Hey, Scoop:

I read that the video for George Michael's new song "Freeek" includes swearing, nudity and two dogs mating ... any pics?

Scoop: "Not yet. Interestingly, this same report was also issued for Bjork's new video, until they realized the sound of  the two mating dogs was actually Bjork's singing.

Are you sure that was a video, and not George's home movies?"
 

UPDATES:

There are new volumes for: Emmanuelle Beart and Michelle Bauer. That Bauer volume was a bear. About two dozen movies (missing many more in her career, so it'll keep growing!), and zillions of posed pics. This lady has never stopped working.

MOVIES:

Man, I'm really into Training Day. Here's five more, at various degrees of enlargement.

Eva Mendes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Here are the latest movie reviews available at scoopy.com.

• The yellow asterisks indicate that I wrote the review, and am deluded into thinking it includes humor.
• If there is a white asterisk, it means that I inexplicably determined there might be something of interest.
• A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Lawdog or Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or somebody else besides me)
• If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

Scoop, just a heads up. I am not sure if you know the television series Smallville. If not, it is about superman as a teenager, just as he is discovering his gifts.  Anyway, Lana Lang is played by Kristin Kreuk, an incredibly gorgeous woman.  I can't take my eyes off of her whenever she is on screen. Well, on tonight's episode, she gets really wild and strips down to her bra and panties before jumping into a pool.  What a body.  They had some EXCELLENT shots too, the best from behind. Some real nice belly shots as  well.  I truly hope you or your excellent contributors taped this episode and are hard at work on the caps as I type.  It was pretty risque for the show, I was surprised at the butt shot we got.  Well, thanx for reading.
 

Scoop: "I don't know if that was Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) or a body double on Smallville last night, but here it is, thanks to DAI"

Boxcar Bertha (1972) -- is one of the better Corman films, in that is has nudity from a future star, interesting characters, great pace, decent plot, and some point. Sort of a Bonnie & Clyde takeoff, the characters this time were union supporters who were not terribly popular during the depression. Scoop reviewed this pretty thoroughly last week (see the recent reviews link below). I agree with most of what he said, but will bump my score up to a full C. Anyone who generally enjoys the genre should like this one.

 

Scoop - I was watching Resident Evil again and I noticed some more topless nudity from Milla Jovovich (1, 2) ! It's a scene where she is having flashbacks standing in the shower and passing out from the nerve gas that is sprayed into her bathroom. Anyway, you can clearly see her right breast while she is standing in the shower! It's all there! The first picture is a collage of that scene and the second picture is a single frame capture from the same flashback, but in a different part of the movie. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Scoopy,

Well, today's theme is "big magic eyes"... namely Audrey Hepburn.  Why, you  might ask?  Well, I can't think of a more lovely creature, than A.H.  All of the pics are from the fifties, except the second one(#3) which dates from the early sixties (witch makes them twice my age). No nudity of course.

Boy, is this guy barking up my tree...


Oscar: No Laughing Matter

By Lou Lumenick
Associated Press

NEW YORK - Bob Hope jokingly referred to Oscar night as "passover" because, like many comic icons, he was never even nominated for an Academy Award. He's part of a notorious list that includes such all-time greats as W.C. Fields, Mae West and the Marx Brothers and, more recently, Jerry Lewis and Eddie Murphy. Cary Grant, a genius of light comedy, was nominated for two heavy dramatic
roles (never his forte), but had to settle for an honorary Oscar after retirement. Charlie Chaplin never got an acting nod, though he received one for screenwriting and shared an award for composing. Serious actors have generally fared better, but there are some head-scratchers among them, too. Greta Garbo, nominated four times, never won. Edward G. Robinson got zilch - though, like Garbo and Chaplin, he lived long enough to collect an honorary Oscar. So did Alfred Hitchcock, the most exalted non-winner among directors. The Master of Suspense was nominated six times, but struck out even when Rebecca (1940) won Best Picture.

From the NY Post.  Vogue is going to start running photos of women larger than size zero.  They say they are "profiling the prevalent shapes of a woman's body."  Sounds like you might have grounds for an infringement lawsuit.  My favorite line is the last one.  Yes, when I want a mixture of  high fashion and reality, I always turn to Vogue. Or else I turn to Page Six and read about which supermodel is back in rehab...


NEW YORK - The April issue of Vogue magazine hitting newsstands this week features women of all shapes and sizes - the first time the venerable fashion bible has splashed big-boned beauties across its pages. "We chose to profile the prevalent shapes of a woman's body," said super-skinny Vogue editor Anna Wintour. "We couldn't create an issue devoted to all the shapes of a woman's body and not include women who are upward from a size 10. We wanted to include everyone."

In this case, "everyone" includes voluptuous television chef Nigella Lawson, who candidly discusses her lifelong love of food and her battle
with her weight, while stick-thin writer Joan Didion reveals that she would have a more commanding presence as a reporter if she were bigger. Plus-size model Kate Dillon, who at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds is a zaftig size 12, admits, "Sure, I'd love to have Britney Spears' body. "So I'm a little larger - is that so bad? I feel sexy and strong."

Vogue being Vogue, there's an emphasis on how style can accommodate different shapes. Both statuesque socialite Alexandra Schlesinger, who's almost 6-foot-3, and pint-sized figure skater Sasha Cohen complain they can't find clothes that fit. Pregnant actress Anne Heche finds a way to look sexy in maternity clothes, but boxer Laila Ali says she often hides her muscles under conservative clothing approved by her Muslim father, boxer Muhammad Ali.

"By depicting the range of female shape, we think that readers and the fashion industry will be struck by how wonderful women can look whatever their shape is," Wintour said. At least one designer who's seen the spread saluted Vogue's efforts. "I love the mix of high fashion and reality as only Vogue could do," Michael Kors said.
