Despite their roles as tramps-turned-human-punching-bags in director Michael Winterbottom’s controversial adaptation of the Jim Thompson’s 1952 novel The Killer Inside Me, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba appeared to be in a playful mood during the film’s premiere at the 9th annual Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
The sexy duo held hands and posed for photographers during the red carpet event. Alba even appear to cop a feel on Hudson’s cooter. After the premiere, Alba and Hudson partied with Winterbottom and costar Casey Affleck at the film’s after-party.
The Killer Inside Me follows sadistic sociopath Lou Ford (Affleck), a 29-year-old Texas lawman engaged in a beat, fuck, and kill spree.
The film’s extreme use of misogynistic sex and violence caused a shit-storm of criticism at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, inciting vocal protest and walkouts (click here to see the good stuff offending scenes). Regardless, IFC picked up the North American rights to the film for $1.5 million.

Sara Paxton has signed on to headline director Ti West’s haunted-hotel thriller The Innkeepers. The film is being shot in Connecticut at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, a hotel long believed to be truly haunted.
Paxton and costar Pat Healy will play the last remaining hotel clerks working during the haunted Yankee Pedlar’s final days. Top Gun’s Kelly McGillis also stars as one of the hotel’s creepy guests.
The film’s synopsis reads:
THE INNKEEPERS is centered around the final two employees working in a haunted hotel before it goes out of business. After over one hundred years in business, The Yankee Pedlar Hotel is about to close its doors for good. The last remaining clerks, Claire (Paxton), a twenty something that has come to terms with her lot in life, and Luke (Healy), a computer-smart loner, are convinced that the hotel is haunted and are determined to prove it.
As time ticks down to the final days of operation, mysterious guests check in including Leanne Rease-Jones (Kelly McGillis), a former TV actress turned psychic, and an old man insistent on staying in room 353. As several strange occurrences begin to add up, both Claire and Luke must make the crucial decision on what to believe and what not to believe…
Paxton, who has a string of family-friendly features, broke out of her good girl image with her starring role in 2009’s brutally violent—and so-much-better-than-the-original—remake of Wes Craven’s The Last House on the Left.
The Innkeepers is West’s followup to his mind-numbingly dull and highly overrated The House of the Devil.
For those of you keeping track, Danny Trejo has starred for Robert Rodriguez as Razor Charlie in From Dusk Till Dawn, Navaja (Spanish for blade) in Desperado, and Machete (Spanish for machete) in the upcoming revenge-thriller of the same name.
Now, he is set to play Chuchillo (Spanish for knife) in the Rodriguez-produced reboot of 1987’s Predator.
Check it out:
If Chuchillo isn’t the last man standing, I will have lost all faith in Robert Rodriguez. I mean what’s Adrien Brody gonna do? Sneeze on the Predators with that big schnoz? C’mon.
Predators is directed by nimrod Antal and stars Danny Trejo, Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Walton Goggins, Topher Grace, and Alice Braga. The film opens on July 9.
New episodes of HBO’s “True Blood” won’t begin to air until June 13, but you can quench your thirst for supernatural sleaze with the show’s first minisode, featuring vampire sheriff Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and his sexy sidekick Pam (Kristin Bauer) auditioning human dancers for their Fangtasia nightclub.

“LOST” was a rerun last night. I didn’t know the show was taking a week off before airing its final episodes up to the series finale on May 23. Needless-to-say, I was very upset and thought the terrorist had finally won. But, I’d be damned if I was going to watch Ryan Murphy’s serialized gay wet-dream “Glee” instead. So, I hit the web in search of foot fetish porn and some lighthearted “LOST” themed fare.
Sayid Jarrah: He is a torturer.
Knowing that this is “LOST’s” final season has made me change my once reckless lifestyle. I’ve said goodbye to unhealthy diet, binge drinking, and paint-sniffing. I drive the speed limit every day and avoid Vallarta markets, Red Box kiosks, and any place where people get stabbed on a regular basis. My goal is to stay alive until all the “LOST” programming on May 23 is over.
Son-of-a-bitch! It's James "Sawyer" Ford
So, to keep my sanity in between episodes, I watch a lot of fun and cute fan made videos featuring the “LOST” cast in funny scenarios. I also look for stuff like the illustrations you see here depicting my favorite “LOST” characters as Saturday morning cartoons!
On top with old Smokie.
The cartoons you see here were created by artist Michael Blaine Meyers Jr. You can purchase posters of the illustrations at his website.
“LOST” returns next week with a new episode entitled … “The Candidate.”
Paramount Pictures announced that it will go back to the well to conjure up a second sequel to its 2002 supernatural-thriller The Ring. Scripted by newcomer David Loucka (Dream House), The Ring 3-D will reportedly be more youth-oriented than the original and may center around a group of teens who discover a VHS player that still works.
Based on the 1998 Japanese film Ringu, The Ring starred Naomi Watts as a single mother trying to save her child from the vengeful spirit of a murdered girl who tracks and kills people through the use of a cursed videotape.
Uh-oh, if you just watched that, you will die in seven days. Too bad for you, cause this new sequel could be pretty damn creepy.
The Ring franchise established Watts as a star in the States and has earned over $411 million in worldwide gross.
Paramount Pictures held the world premiere screening for director Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 last night in Hollywood.
In attendance were stars Robert Downy Jr. and his hot producer wife Susan, Mickey Rourke and Russian model Anastassija Makarenko, Scarlett Johansson and her gorgeous breasts, Samuel Jackson and his Kangol beret, Gwyneth Paltrow and her icy demeanor, and some Great White groupies the Iron Man dancers (pictured above).
Iron Man 2 will be in theaters on May 7. In the meantime, check out the following gallery:
Sorority Row’s Nicole Moore (the naked chick in the shower) stars as a murder victim brought back to life by her father and boyfriend through supernatural means in Risen Pictures’ upcoming indie-thriller Kiss the Abyss.
The film is directed by Ken Winkler and costars Scott Wilson, James Mathers, and Scott Mitchell Nelson. Take a look:
OK, so bringing your girl back from the dead may have some dire consequences, but you know you’re gonna get some anal for sure. Hell, she’ll probably even make you a sandwich afterward!
During Friday’s Iron Man 2 press junket in Los Angeles, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that a spin-off film featuring Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow character is “definitely possible.”
Unfortunately, my fear of black security guards busy schedule kept me from crashing attending the event so I could not gauge Johansson’s reaction to the announcement. However, my sources (you know them as Google) say the 25-year-old stunner, despite not being a fan of superhero movies, is flying high over her involvement in Iron Man 2.
She rambled:
I’ve never been a huge fan of this genre really and I think that’s because it was always sort of one note and very kind of explosive. I think because Gwyneth [Paltrow] and I are able to sort of be the brains behind the operation in some aspect there’s kind of a happy medium there that adds to the charm and charisma of the finished product.
It’s oddly kind of old fashioned actually in the best sense of the word. These characters are like those fabulous femme fatales of the kind of golden age of Hollywood, that Bette Davis more than the Jane Mansfield which I think is so much more dynamic to watch.
Johansson is also said to be under contract to star in Marvel’s highly anticipated all-star superhero spectacle The Avengers.
If you’ve ever had to take a shit in a public restroom, you’ve probably worried about a roach crawling up your asshole and/or contracting AIDs from the toilet seat.
Well, now, Spanish filmmaker Daniel Barosa gives us something new to worry about in his latest short La Rubia Del Bano (The Bathroom Blonde).
Hmm. All-in-all, that blonde chick is pretty hot … for me to poop on!
