Burlesque troupe Devil’s Playground returned to the stage on July 10th to perform their popular Star Wars themed striptease show at The Music Box theater in Hollywood, CA. However, a disturbance in the force—namely a cease-and-desist letter from Lucasfilms’ antipiracy department—has strong-armed troupe founder Courtney Cruz into making some notable changes to the act.

For starters, the Star Wars costumes have now been feminized with touches of glitter and pink. Names have been changed as well (i.e. Princess Leia is now Princess Slaya, Chewie is now Chunky). The stage show also features girlier props such as giant lipstick canons and the addition of an intergalactic smuggler named Juan Cholo.

I’m not sure if the show’s new tweaks will get Lucasfilms off the dancers’ tattooed asses, but it’s a hell of a Wampa step in the right direction. Watching Sith Lords, wookies, and Imperial stormtroopers strip down to their frilly panties is just not my cup of blue milk.

Everyone loves TIE chicks!

That said, I would totally buy a 2-for-1 lap dance from that TIE Bomber! Just look at those Twin Ion Engines. They gotta be real.

Lisa Marie Presley’s fashion model daughter Riley Keough is set to replace plain-jane Olivia Thirlby in director Bradley Rust Gray’s outrageous teen-lesbo/werewolf mash-up Jack & Diane. Juno Temple, the cute blonde from Year One, costars.

Keough will now play Jack, a harden New York City dyke determined to keep her latest out-of-town conquest Diane (Temple) from leaving. What Jack doesn’t know is that Diane’s lesbian-awakening has unleashed her animalistic nature (she’s a werewolf).

Jack & Diane has been in development hell for over four years. The film was scheduled to begin shooting in New York City this month before Keough’s casting was announced.

A 2006 promo-trailer for antichrist superstar Marilyn Manson’s long-abandoned project Phantasmagoria:The Visions of Lewis Carroll was posted yesterday on MarilynManson.net. The clip has never been seen before.

The film, inspired by “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” author Lewis Carroll, features Manson’s cock-accessories Evan Rachel Wood and Dita Von Teese, the latter of which turns in a nude performance.

From Manson’s site:

Originally conceived in 2004 with pre-production throughout 2005 via The Wild Bunch (UK) and with an initial budget of $5-7 million, ‘Phantasmagoria’ was due to begin filming in 2006. Lily Cole, inspiration of Tim Burton’s recent ‘Alice in Wonderland’, was originally cast as Manson’s Alice for ‘Phantasmagoria’.

This teaser also features real-life twin sisters engaging in questionable acts and burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese in artistic full-nude. The figure in the medical mask is artist Gottfried Helnwein, and the bird-face masked character and white-gloved Lewis Carroll impresario [are both] Marilyn Manson.

No official word yet on whether Manson plans to give Phantasmagoria:The Visions of Lewis Carroll another go. I certainly hope so.

Sweet dreams are made of this.

Of all the recent Alice in Wonderland re-imaginings, this one seems most interesting—even more so than the porn adaptation starring Sasha Grey. And, I swear on your children’s lives, I’m not just saying that because the clip showed some labia.

Back in January, I posted a story about the Devil’s Playground burlesque troupe and their Star Wars themed strip-off events. Now, we have video (courtesy of G4).

Check it out:

Since becoming aware of this show, I have searched my feelings repeatedly and have regrettably determined that I can not spank the wookie to this type of gimmick. Don’t get me wrong, the concept is gold. It’s the execution that sucks wampa balls.

Watching Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Chewbacca strip down to frilly lingerie is downright disturbing. It’s obvious these strippers don’t really know a thing about Star Wars and have simply found a hook to part geeks from their druggats.

Otherwise, they would know that, along with  Princess Leia and Queen Amidala, the Star Wars universe is rich with sexy female characters including lady Sith Lumiya, bad-bitch Mara Jade, Jaina Solo (Han and Leia’s daughter), Queen Apailana, Rabe (Amidala’s royal handmaiden), and Oola, dancer for Jabba the Hut (and obvious choice for a Star Wars themed strip-show if you ask me).

Oh, and another thing … some of these dancers really could stand to do a few laps around the Dagobah system (yes, I’m talking to you lady Vader).

OK, I’ve gotten my Jedi robes in a bunch over this. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my room resting on my Millennium Falcon bed.

You know a film is truly disturbing when it gets the entire online horror community to act like your mom. Director Srdjan Spasojevic’s A Serbian Film was screened at last week’s SXSW Festival and apparently pissed all over the fragile sensibilities of those in attendance.

Bloggers and critics have since continued to cry about the film’s grotesque over-the-top violence. Perhaps, the funniest- outcry comes from one Tex Maxipad over at Bloody-Disgusting, who not only gives A Serbian Film a poor grade due to its lack of “redeeming social, political, and artistic value,” but compares it to PETA propaganda and 9/11.

Since when does horror have to aspire to such lofty goals? Horror is popcorn thrills and dime-store psychology. Whether you’re afraid of ghosts, Dinocrocs & Supergators, or getting your limbs hacked off during sex, horror films play to our fears and our inherent nature to want to see people suffer through horrible ordeals from the safety of our homes.

A Serbian Film stars Srdjan Todorovic as a downtrodden ex-porn star trying to make ends meet for his family by taking on a role in a privately funded fetish video that involves acts both immoral and illegal (eye socket rape anyone?).

The film has yet to lock down distribution in the States.

Juno Temple, the cute cave-chick from Year One, will be scratching at costar Olivia Thirlby’s (United 93) backdoor in director Bradley Rust Gray’s teen-lesbo/werewolf mash-up Jack & Diane. Temple takes the role over from originally cast starlet Ellen Page (Inception).

(UPDATE: LISA MARIE PRESLEY’S HIT FASHION MODEL DAUGHTER REPLACES OLIVIA THIRLBY. SEE PICS HERE)

The synopsis for the film reads:

Jack & Diane meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire occasionally turns her into a werewolf.

I’m not sure how I feel about lesbian werewolves. I have a feeling the film’s sex scenes could get pretty hairy. Let’s hope Temple and Thirlby play lipstick-lesbian werewolves who practice good hygiene and know their way around a razor.

I am lycan this Olivia Thirlby chick!

Jack & Diane has been in development hell for over four years. The film is now scheduled to begin shooting in New York City come May.

If you have a donkey wheel you can spin to go back in time, make sure you head to the year 2003. Why? Because that’s the year you could call Live Links and hook up with “Lost” star Evangeline Lilly. At least, that’s what the phone sex company would have you believe in the following ads:

Lilly, of course, is known to millions as Kate Austin on ABC’s hit sci-fi series “Lost,” now on it’s sixth and final season.

Of course, had you called, chances are the gal on the line would actually look more like Hurley than Lilly’s Kate.

It’s hard to know if in this picture Amanda Seyfried is threatening Julianne Moore with a dangerous instrument or simply looking to pull out an ingrown hair from one of Moore’s freckles. Regardless, one thing is certain in director Atom Egoyan erotically-charged, psychological thriller Chloe: Seyfried and Moore will engage in some raw and naked cougar/cub lesbo action!

An American adaptation of the French film Nathalie, Chloe is penned by Erin Cressida Wilson (Secretary, The Resident) and stars Seyfried as a prostitute hired by an emotionally unstable woman (Moore) to seduce her husband (Liam Neeson) and report back with the sordid details of the affair.

As your cock the plot thickens, Seyfried, 24, and Moore, 49, strike up a heated relationship of their own, leading to intense older woman/younger girl type kink. To see an interview with Moore, click here. To see Seyfried parade around nude in the film’s trailer, go here.

Chloe is slated for release in early 2010. Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group holds the film’s North American rights.

IFC has secured the U.S. distribution rights to director Michael Winterbottom’s controversial film adaptation of the Jim Thompson’s 1952 novel The Killer Inside Me.

The film caused quite an uproar over its extreme scenes of misogynistic sex and violence during its Sundance premeire last week, inciting vocal protest and walkouts—among them star Jessica Alba (click here to see the good stuff offending scenes).

IFC purchased the rights for an approximated $1.5 million with plans to release the film this summer theatrically and on VOD.

The Killer Inside Me follows the sadistic exploits of 29-year-old Texas lawman Lou Ford, played by Casey Affleck. Alba and Kate Hudson costar.

"Wait! I was in a Soderbergh movie! Why am I still sucking on Ron Jeremy nuts?

The XXX-rated feature is presented in 35mm (a big deal in porn where most productions are shot on a tarp with a mobile-phone camera) and stars jizz-biz queen and Steven Soderbergh gal-pal Sasha Grey.

Jack-Off Check out the trailer:

The film’s press release reads:

We proudly present “Malice In Lalaland”, a new and innovative Miss Lucifer Productions film for Harmony. Based on the two books by Lewis Carroll: “Alice In Wonderland” and “Through The Looking Glass”, we stay true to a strange world and its even stranger characters. It’s not a fantasy world, but a surreal and contemporary adaptation from the book’s.

This high quality movie is filmed in 35mm with amazing post production and high-end special effects. The crew are well known for their work in music videos, commercials and famous shows in Las Vegas which gave this movie its’ contemporary cachet. An adult movie with mainstream ambition is what we had in mind and succeeded to do.

While it’s doubtful that the producers actually read Carroll’s books, I am confident that they have seen the cartoon, ridden the Disney ride, and/or seen the trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland enough times to crank out a quirky piece of jack-off cinema. And, judging by the trailer and marketing photos, they have also seen Bitch Slap, Donnie Darko, and, maybe even, Falling Down.

The press release goes on to add:

With Sasha Grey we guarantee serious sex- and acting quality. Ron Jeremy makes a dialogue-only appearance as a caricature of himself. The story has all the ingredients one could possibly want : a well thought-of adventure, great sex scenes and rock ‘n roll!

Personally, all I need to see in a porno is one white girl and eight angry black penises. But, I’m a romantic. I do, however, think it’s smart for the producers to point out that Ron Jeremy makes a “dialogue-only appearance.” If I wanted to see a naked fat, old guy with a big cock, I would have never set my uncle Mel on fire while he slept.

Malice in Lalaland arrives on DVD on Jan. 20 For a chance to attend the film’s premiere party in Hollywood, California go here.
