If you like badass babes, you’re going to love Gina Carano. She’s a Strikeforce MMA fighter and she’s starring in “Haywire” which opened this weekend. Check out Bob Westal’s positive review of “Haywire” in our movie channel. Her character in this film will definitely be a candidate if we do another Badass Bracket.
We put together a slideshow of some great photos of Gina from the film. If you have a thing for girls with guns, you’re going to like some of these shots. The first shot is from Gina’s Maxim shoot, so check it out for some other great photos from our friends at Maxim.
Ricky Gervais caused quite a stir last year at the Golden Globes with his opening monologue (see above) and his smartass comments throughout the show. Nothing was sacred and frankly he was hilarious, even if he managed to piss off a number of guests in the audience.
Ricky is back again this year and you can catch the Golden Globes tonight on NBC. If you’re going to watch any award shows this season this is the one to see. Many guests in the audience get drunk so some of the acceptance speeches are hilarious.
Tina Fey is nominated again, and here’s a pic of her showing off her Phillies New Era Cap at the HBO Luxury Lounge as she gets ready for the show.
ABC announced that it is pulling the plug on “Charlie’s Angels” after just 4 aired episodes. The ratings were bad and the reviews were even worse, so I guess this isn’t a surprise. Our own Will Harris explained in his Fall TV Preview that this show was a tough one to predict in terms of potential success. The producers definitely decided to play this one straight, without the campy feel of other reboots. In the end it just didn’t work.
As we all know, the show had its share of eye candy with Minka Kelly, Annie Ilonzeh and Rachael Taylor. When Will spoke with Annie, she seemed very excited about the show and its prospects, explaining how the casting process took months. It’s hard to argue with the casting, though the original was carried by a blonde bombshell, and perhaps following that formula would have generated more buzz.
In the end, however, the writing and execution didn’t seem to excite fans, so we have another show biting the dust following the cancellation of “The Playboy Club.” Perhaps these shows with eye candy should be on cable . . .
NBC announced today that “The Playboy Club” has been cancelled after only three episodes. It’s not a surprise given the anemic ratings so far.
The show wasn’t great, but it was beautifully shot, and Amber Heard was simply stunning as Maureen, the young Bunny caught up in the murder storyline. As you can see from the photos above, Heard looked like the perfect Bunny, particularly in the red costume, and her acting was solid as well. All of the Bunnies were beautiful as you might expect, but Heard jumped off the screen. She has a great career ahead of her, and you can see her on the big screen in October in “The Rum Diary.”
We just caught the new JLo commercial for the Fiat 500, and we have to say we like what we see from her and the car! Coming off her breakup with Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez looks spectacular in this video. Also, as you can tell from our recent review, we like the new Fiat 500 as well.
