Work on season two of the erotically-charged Cinemax anthology series “Femme Fatales” is well underway, but that didn’t keep its cast of babes from enjoying a day at Miami beach. Show narrator and host Tanit Phoenix was absent from the excursion, but will be back for the new season.

“Femme Fatales” tells the stories of dangerous women and women in peril pushed to the point of murder. The new season kicks off later this year and will reportedly include guest appearances by Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day), Robert Picardo (”Star Trek: Voyager”), Antonio Sabato, Jr. (Bad Girl Island), Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) and Jeff Fahey (“LOST”).

Posted above is the first still from writer/director Josh Stolberg’s new indie frightener Crawlspace. Budgeted at $500,000, the film—formerly entitled Hideaway—follows a homicidal psychopath as he torments the family living in his foreclosed home.

“Full House” and “90210″ star Lori Loughlin costars with “Wings” actor Steven Weber as the family heads in the Vuguru production. Weekend at Bernie’s Jonathan Silverman, “LOST’s” Sterling Beaumon (he played young Benjamin Linus), and Sorority Row hottie Nicole Moore fill out the cast.

Crawlspace will be made available through VOD, Netflix, HULU, and various other digital platforms.

Horror fans will soon get a chance to see Katrina Bowden’s (”30 Rock”) bedside manner when she stars alongside Paz de la Huerta (”Boardwalk Empire”) in Lionsgate’s upcoming slasher Nurse 3-D. The 23-year-old stunner speaks about the role in the February issue of Maxim magazine.

She spills:

It’s definitely different from what I’ve done. It’s kind of like “Dexter” meets Single White Female. Paz de la Huerta and I are both nurses. But she’s a serial killer and she kind of becomes obsessed with me.

Bowden, who is featured on the magazine’s cover and in a sexy butt-cheek baring pictorial, recently wrapped Lionsgate’s Piranha 3-DD, due out later this year. She can also be seen in the hill-billy horror-comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Nurse 3-D is directed by Douglas Aarniokoski (The Day) and costars Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Boris Kodjoe (Resident Evil: Afterlife) and Adam Herschman (Bucky Larson).

It appears that after starring as Lois Lane on The CW’s long-running Superman series “Smallville,” Erica Durance is now ready to fight crime as a costumed superhero. The pretty 33-year-old Canadian actress will play a delusional vigilante who thinks she’s Wonder Woman on NBC’s David E. Kelly-produced lawyer dramedy “Harry’s Law.”

Set to premiere Jan. 11, the episode finds the Wonder Woman wannabe up on criminal charges and in need of counsel from Harriet Korn’s (Kathy Bates) Cincinnati-based law firm. Durance, who in the episode wears the costume originally designed for Adrianne Palicki in Kelly’s aborted “Wonder Woman” pilot, spoke to TV Guide about the character and outfit.

She says:

Having been in the comic world for a while now, I’m really very respectful of the people that love this character. I do take it very seriously.  As a side note, just to be light about it, any woman wearing tight pants is not super excited the first time she puts them on. [Laughs] I wasn’t exactly, you know, tight pants- or underwear-ready.

I’m very grateful for the pants. I know that people were very excited about the underwear and seeing them. To be quite frank, I don’t know if I could’ve done the underwear justice at this point in time and it might have been more upsetting for people to see me in them than to not, so I think the pants are a safe bet for me.

I’ll say it again. Wonder Woman in pants makes as much sense as having the Kool-Aid Man in a pair of cargos.

Durance, who played Lois Lane on “Smallville” for 10 seasons, has got a few genre creds under her belt, namely the 2002 indie Canadian frightener Sasquatch, Uwe Boll’s 2003 movie adaptation of Sega’s zombie shoot’em up House of the Dead, and the 2006 New Line sequel Butterfly Effect 2.

She’s also guest starred on the TV shows “Stargate SG-1,” “Tru Calling,” and “Andromeda.”

Those who thought actress Paz de la Huerta couldn’t get more naked than she does on HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” and Lionsgate’s upcoming slasher Nurse 3-D are in for a shock when they see her exposed balloon-knot in shots taken by famed celebrity photographer Mark Squires.

Squires, whose camera must be made of cocaine, has captured the 27-year-old starlet in a variety of boob, bush, labia, and butthole baring poses that would even make Sasha Grey blush. It’s pretty raunchy stuff.

But, don’t worry. The pics are in black and white and there’s a cigarette in a few. That makes it all art. If your wife or girlfriend disagrees, just tell her she’s being ignorant and offer to enroll her in a photography class at the local community college.

Peep the hard stuff here.

Emma Stone portrays Peter Parker’s love interest Gwen Stacy in director Marc Webb’s (500 Days of Summer) upcoming Spiderman reboot for Sony Pictures. Images featuring the 23-year-old stunner in character have hit the … umm … web.

The Associação da Luta Contra o Cancer (ALCC) in Mozambique, Africa is coming under-fire for using Ad agency DDB’s provocative artist renderings of DC and Marvel superheroes in their breast cancer awareness print campaign.

The ads, which DDB did not license from DC and Marvel (hence the omission of their faces), feature Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, Storm (pictured above), and She-Hulk examining their large perfect animated breasts for abnormalities.

The ads are being called sexist and juvenile, and the ALCC criticized for not using real Mozambican women in their campaign. But, supporters of the ads state that doing so would be like asking people to care about saving the tuna or any other ugly animal (or, so I imagine them stating).

A trailer for season two of Starz’s hit swords-and-sandals series “Spartacus” has hit the web. Set to premiere Jan. 27, “Spartacus: Vengeance” finds our hero leading a slave revolution while attempting to take revenge on the man responsible for the enslavement and death of his beloved wife.

It’s been a long wait for “Spartacus” fans and a lot has changed since the show debuted to rave reviews a year ago. For starters, Liam McIntyre has stepped into the titular role, replacing the late Andy Whitfield, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson (”FlashForward”) is now portraying Slave Naevia (Lesley-Ann Brandt left the show to pursue other projects … like Zombie Apocalypse).

He's totally gonna nail that chick

The trailer is balls-out bloody and exciting, and provides a peek at a very much alive Lucretia (Lucy Lawless), a deeply disturbed Ilithyia (Viva Bianca), and an arena battling Gannicus (Dustin Clare), last seen in the “Spartacus” prequel “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.”

Peep it:

It’s been awhile since American audiences caught an eyeful of Japanese starlet Rinko Kikuchi. But, that’s all about to change. Along with upcoming roles in the Keanu Reeves samurai-actioner 47 Ronin and Guillermo del Toro’s mecha-influenced Pacific Rim, Kikuchi has gone nude for the Pirelli 2012 calender.

The calender, which features actresses and models in various stages of undress, is not available for purchase and is only sent by the Pirelli tire company to auto industry big-wigs and customers. I ride a bicycle so I had to go here to get a glimpse at Kikuchi’s kikuchi. The calender also includes full-frontal nudes of Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich.

Kikuchi is best known for her Oscar nominated performance as a nude troubled teen in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Babel.

Posted above is the first image from Dead Snow director Tommy Wirkola’s Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, a flash forward of the classic fairy tale that finds the siblings hunting down supernatural forces for profit. EW scored the pic and an interview with star Gemma Arterton.

She says:

They resonate with your fears, that’s how these fairy tales worked. They scared you into behaving. This one in particular is about abandonment and being lost and parents leaving you. The heart of it is that these kids grow up to be bloodthirsty witch hunters. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, really. What would Hansel and Gretel be in 15 years time?

We spent a lot of time thinking about that and behaving like brother and sister, making it detailed so it wasn’t just two actors kicking butt, really. That would get boring. In our minds, these are two people who grew up with no parents and they only have each other and the bond they have, and with the complexities of that, some resentment.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters costars Jeremy Renner as Hansel (pictured above) and Famke Janssen (X-Men), Zoe Bell (Death Proof) and Norwegian actress Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (Cold Prey) as evil witches.

The film finds its way into theaters on March 2, 2012.
