Ellen to Christina Aguilera: Holy lactose, Batman!

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Ellen DeGeneres, like any red-blooded man, found herself awestruck by the mammary glands of Christina Aguilera. Christina stopped by Ellen's show today, and Ellen asked the question that's on everyone's minds. People reports:
"You look great. One question: Are you nursing?"
A blushing Aguilera responded: "I guess it's a little obvious," and DeGeneres quipped back, "It's going to be a healthy baby boy."
But it wasn't just tits and nipples. It was also about wangs. Notably balloons shaped like wangs as Christina divulged her horribly apropos choice of decorations for her son Max's bris:
"We are not a very conservative couple," she told DeGeneres. "For decorations we put up penis balloons all over the place. It was really fun, it was really great." A stunned Ellen replied: " "Really, they have penis balloons in a shop ... you can just buy them?"
But then Ellen quickly realized her folly. She said the word "penis." That mammoth-chested bitch tricked her! But before Ellen could react it was too late. She was transported back to her home dimesion - never to return. On that note, Ellen's show will now be replaced by "The Christina Aguilera Boob Hour." If you'll excuse me, I need to set my TiVo and buy a whole lot of maple syrup. Uh, because I'm making waffles. Yeah, waffles... Super chesty video of the interview after the jump.

Saturn Award nomination

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Matt Venne emailed me this morning to point out something I would have otherwise missed: The Nines just got a Saturn Award nomination for its DVD.

It’s a cliché to say, “It’s an honor just to be nominated,” but really, it is. And surprising, too. The Nines isn’t an obvious choice at all.

The Saturn Awards are all about science fiction, and while The Nines ultimately fits in that category, the viewer doesn’t really understand why until the last 10 minutes. When we were doing press for the movie, I called it “stealth sci-fi.” Hearing the logline, you wouldn’t guess it goes into Star Trek territory. (I’m spoiling very little to say it does.)

So, my thanks to the nominators, who obviously did watch it and get it.

I’ll have another post up soon about my Facebook forays, but I should point out that The Nines now has a fan page, complete with all of the storyboards from the film.

Vanessa Hudgens has new holiday sex tape

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron allegedly star in a new sex tape with a yuletide theme. While I prefer my amateur porn to celebrate Canadian Boxing Day, this sounds promising. The Sun reports:
Reportedly the beauty, whose naked pictures were leaked on to the net last year, is sitting underneath a Christmas tree wearing nothing but a Santa hat and a red thong.
She says to the camera: “I’ve been a good girl this year.”
Then boyfriend ZAC EFRON appears before nature takes its course.
Okay, yeah, this is totally fake. I don't for one second believe Zac Efron became aroused at the sight of Vanessa Hudgen in just a thong and Santa hat. Maybe if she had on a full Santa costume complete with the beard and fake belly. Then I could maybe see this thing happen. But, real quick, those suits come with penises, right? I mean, that just seems like a standard feature to me. Otherwise, really, I don't get the point of the whole outfit.

Poll: When Good Girls Go Nude (Oscar Edition)

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Filed under: , , ,

The firestorm sparked by Lindsay Lohan's decision to pose naked for a photo spread in New York Magazine is fascinating. The comments in response to Erik Davis' post were mostly negative, either disparaging Lohan's looks or her reputation as a "bad girl." I'm sure her age (21) also affected how people felt about the pictures and her exposure in them. Would the reaction have been the same if she had appeared naked in I Know Who Killed Me, in which she played a stripper who kept most of her clothes on?

We'll never know, but we do know that not every actress who doffs her duds provokes such a heated reaction. And, sometimes, it's not even the actress' body parts on display. For example, initial reports were that Cate Blanchett appeared nude in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, but that proved to be false. The actress didn't feel the nudity was required, and so a "bum double" was called in. None of the other women nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Actress category appear naked in their nominated films, though three of them have done so in the past. In the Best Supporting Actress category, we find only Tilda Swinton has bared all before. Therefore, we'll cheat a little and add screenwriter Diablo Cody, who worked as a professional unclad dancer for a brief period in her life.

We've listed four nominated actresses and a nominated writer, all good women of distinguished accomplishment who, at one time or another, have appeared naked in public, all but one on the big screen. Who's Your Favorite Good Girl Gone Nude? And don't worry, the boys get their turn tomorrow.

Lindsay Lohan’s dad won’t see photos (Riiight)

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008
0220_lindsay_lohan_cover_00.JPG While Dina Lohan thinks Lindsay's nude photos are the second coming of Christ, Michael Lohan has yet to see the topless shots of Lindsay as Marilyn Monroe, according to Us Magazine:
“I’m not going to look at the photos — that’s my daughter!” he told Usmagazine.com in a telephone interview this morning.
“Lindsay is an adult, and she knows the direction she wants to take her career,” he said. “It’s her decision."
Michael Lohan hung up the phone then looked down at the coffee table. There, almost tauntingly, sat Lindsay's issue of New York magazine. And then it spoke: "Michael, dude, seriously." Michael Lohan shrugged his shoulders and said "Shit, I can't argue with that... Eww. Why are they sagging like that? Gross!" Michael Lohan walked away and went looking for the Sears catalog.

Natalie Portman out-hots Scarlett Johansson

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Despite my unbridled fury about her meatless footwear, Natalie Portman showed Scarlett Johansson how to look classy as hell at the London premiere of their new film The Other Boleyn Girl. I assume it's about those little cubes you use to make soup. All my culinary geeks in the house say "Ho!" Wow, I'm retarded. Anyway, here's a bunch of pics of Natalie looking exceptionally sexy. I only added a few of Scarlett because she looks my date to junior prom - but without the moustache.
