Britney on the Beach
More paparazzi bikini pics of everyone's favorite little pop music tart (pop tart?) on the beach down under. Thanks to Magnus.

The breakdown:
Link #1...an open crotch shot. She's still clothed, but this is practically porno for Britney.
Links #4 and #5 polka dot bikini pics...nothing to scandalous
Links #2, #3, and #6 are the big winners. Britney doing some topless sunbathing. She is on her stomach, so don't get too worked up. However, I highly recommend #3. She almost lets a nipple come out to play. Kudos to the Aussie paparazzi!

    "Big City Blues" (1999)

    Big City Blues (1999) stars Burt Reynolds and William Forsythe as hit men, Georgina Cates as a stripper, and Giancarlo Esposito and Roger Floyd as cross dressers. The film switches between the characters during one crazy Miami night that ends with them all in the same place. Think To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar meets Pulp Fiction, but with none of the good parts of either film. The director claims it is an edgy comedy. Maybe so, but it lacks both edge and humor. Fortunately for Reynolds, the entire film is very dark. Not seeing his face most of the time helped him play a hit man, but it is decidedly not his sort of role.

    Cates shows breasts and buns. IMDB readers say 2.9/10, and I look for that to drop as more people vote. Apollo users say 18/100. Tuna says F-.

    "Live Nude Girls Unite" (2000)

    And now for something completely different. Live Nude Girls Unite (2000) is a documentary chronicling the successful attempt by exotic dancers at the Lusty Lady in San Francisco. Several things make this a DVD I highly recommend. First, there is a fair amount of nudity -- enough to show what the lifestyle is about both on and off stage. Second, it gives real insight into the life of strippers, and what kind of women they are. Third, it is a great commentary on why unions are sometimes necessary.

    The women of the Lusty Lady had ample reason to complain, and they worked for the best club in the city. There was no sick time off, even without pay. You could find a replacement, provided she had lighter hair and larger boobs than you. Customers often took video and stills of the dancers from their peep booth, and then distributed them over the Internet. If you were late clocking in once, you missed your next raise. Women who had been there long enough to earn top wages of $20.00/hour were harassed into quitting, or fired for any flimsy excuse. The struggle to unionize took over a year, and is well documented in this DVD. Video quality is near amateur level, but it is the content that makes this one worth your time.

    The IMDB score is way too low at the moment at 5.6/10, despite several good comments. It is possible that the voters expected a tittie flick. Ebert seems to have seen the same film I did, and awards 3 stars, but basically discusses content and gives no reason for his high score. Apollo says 83, and Apollo readers say 72, which is a reasonable rating. I award a B-. The film is a documentary, but will appeal to many who aren't fond of the genre.

    Someone Like You is an ordinary romantic comedy. No nudity, but you'll probably like these.

    Ashley Judd (1, 2, 3)


    The Siege is one you probably want to re-visit. It came out in 1998, and was generally knocked for being unrealistic. The plot: some Middle Eastern terrorists cause three major explosions in New York City: a city bus explodes in public, a Broadway theater explodes during a performance, then FBI headquarters is leveled to the ground. 

    The government overreacts to stop the terror, including the declaration of martial law in New York and the internment of Arab-Americans. The government seems to have no concept of the intricacies of the Middle East. 

    Does it sound familiar? Just about everything that hasn't happened yet has been advocated at one time or another. Many of the events in this movie were exaggerated versions of what really happened, but many other events were actually understated compared to reality.

    No nudity


    Basic Instinct is .. well, you know what it is. Probably the sexiest mainstream movie ever made. The new DVD is a much better transfer, and this time it is the unrated European version, which is 45 seconds longer. Plot still makes no sense, but it is sexier than ever. I was glad to hear Verhoeven admit in his commentary that the plot make no sense. He pointed out that this made things difficult for him and the actors. Tripplehorn had the hardest task - playing a psychologist who sticks her hands in her pockets while an agitated man points a loaded gun at her. Yup, that made a lot of sense. Verhoeven said the whole thing was ludicrous, but necessary for the plot, so they did it.

    So where was I? That is, by the way, the best ending line in the history of cinema, spoken by the protagonist in the best movie of the year. If you're tired of the same old same thing, rent Memento.

    Before I was so rudely interrupted I had sent in a couple of scans of Stephanie Wood, former Book of Lingerie babe and Pet of the Month for Sept. She was promptly replaced by Keanna Tai, Pet of Octoher. Got em both. First up, more of the lovely Stephanie; scans by PETScan.

    Next the exotic Teanna Kai. She has taken plan 1B to the pages of Penthouse. Plan 1 is go into the porn business, 1A after appearing in the mag, 1B before. Yep, Keanna is a pornstar, but if the Internet Adult Film Database is any indication she does the nasty only with girls. Call it Plan 1B.1. Because Teanna is a pornobabe she has posed for just about every magazine you can think of. These scans are three distinct examples.

    The last tidbit of the day is former Pet of the Year Victoria Lynn Johnson. Tuna capped her a couple of weeks ago as the body double for Angie Dickinson in Dressed to Kill. A collage of those caps AND a few scans from PETScan, showing her POY portfolio, bring up the rear.

    Oh, and a bone to pick. I see the boys out there in reader land decided Jennifer Connelly and the lovely Miss Casta are 1 and 2 in babeland. No argument there. But Christina Ricci out-polling Josie Maran? Are you kidding me? No one in his right friggin' mind would, if given the choice, pick Her Royal Pudginess (Ricci) over the Magnificent Maran for any activity of a consensual nature. Crimony, this is why Major League Baseball once took away the privelege fans had of voting fo the all-star team. Gringos.

    Jr. here...I totally have to agree with Brain on this one. In fact even though I love Connelly and she'll always be the #1 Fun House babe, I personally voted for Josie.

    Another outstanding batch of nekkid supermodels!

  • James King, both breasts in plain view. Very nice.
  • Gisele Bundchen, about as much exposure as she can show without being topless. Looks like there is the slightest hint of nipple.
  • Esther DeJong, wearing very see-thru, white outfit.
  • Sartya Ateau, wearing something interesting, but more importantly, there is a nipple present. (1, 2)
  • Shirley Mallman, a single exposed breast.
  • Eleonora Bose, another single, exposed breast.
  • Angie Schmidt, make that three single exposed breasts.
  • Kasia Pysiak, and a fourth, single exposed breast.
  • Karen Elson, last but not least...a hint of nipple.

    Saw this article posted from a UK newspaper. Looks like Mariah's turning a little stranger than normal. Obviously being the UK press, it could all be a load of rubbish, but anyway, here it is if you're interested.

  • A few bonus pics with skimpy outfits and bikini tops. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

    Feedback from Sleuth
    Dear Scoop:

    Just to confirm what RDO suggested a few days ago, it was Vol. 11, No. 4 of Sleuth that contained the quotes about Elisabeth Brooks being assured "that the sex shots would be smoke-screened by a bonfire and that you wouldn't be able to see anything." The issue also reveals something that those who haven't seen it might not know: that Elisabeth was the longtime lesbian lover of Kristy McNichol--who tenderly nursed Elisabeth during her long bout with cancer {of which she died in November 1997}. "I loved her with all my heart," Kristy said at the time.

    Thought I'd save Fun House readers the purchase of a back issue :-)

    Best,

    Sleuth
