FHM magazine has comprised a list of the 100 Hottest Women of Hollywood. No real news value, just some good eye candy to ease your way into Friday. 100 women received almost 10 million votes ranking their levels.
Keira Knightley is 10th place on list and sir…I demand a recount. This woman is gorgeous from head to toe and could drink us all under the table while telling a dirty joke about a Rabbi. She almost makes me think twice about the lesbian option.
Blake Lively took the number 9 spot. Typical blonde girl next door who you don’t realize is banging hot until she gets gussied up for prom. Same thing for Tricia Hefler. Hefler scored the 8th rung on the ladder. I know…Tricia who? She is space hotness on “Battlestar Galactica.” Eh, she has a weird gum to teeth ratio when she smiles. Meanwhile, 7th place was given to Hilary Duff. It must have been a pity thing. Duff strikes me as total bitch whose movies go from post production to the dollar bin at Wal-Mart.
Emmanuelle Chriqui came in on the 6th spot thanks to her role as Sloan on “Entourage.” She is like this level of hot that is demur but can turn into a total minx at a moments notice. The rack of Scarlett Johansson rounded out the top 5. Yeah, big knockers always tend to climb their way to the top.
Elisha Cuthbert finally gets some love after out-hotting Scarlett. She just radiates pretty girl appeal at number 4. Cuthbert also has an approachable factor, unlike some aforementioned divas who will pimp-slap you for getting to close to their snack table.
Ugh, yes Jessica Alba and her high maintenance ass made it to the 3rd position. Bitch…enough said. Another Jessica, who is more tolerable, took the number 2 slot. Jessica Biel, who is currently bedding Justin Timberlake, made her way to the top.
Drum roll for the number 1 spot….
Megan Fox is the hottest of the hot. The Transformers vixen who tolerated Shia LaBeouf making eyes at her goodies tops the list and dethrones last year’s winner, Jessica Alba. This woman is now my queen.
Jane Krakowski, who stars as sketch comedian Jenna Maroney on the NBC comedy 30 Rock and was formerly the slutty secretary on Allie McBeal, gives men some advice about women in Esquire’s “10 Things You Don’t Know About Women” column.
1. When you break up with us, that means it’s over, and we will only sleep with you two or three more times.
2. When you’re talking dirty to us, call us a whore and not a prostitute.
3. Straight men should take a thirteen-week course from a gay man to fully appreciate what’s fabulous about women.
4. Though we’re happiest in the company of gay men, we’re embarrassed when we marry one.
5. No, we didn’t see last week’s Battlestar Galactica.
6. We find dark-colored sheets creepy. And they don’t conceal stains.
7. You shouldn’t pass up a three-way because you “love us too much.”
8. When a hot woman walks by and we ask if she’s your type, refrain from saying things like “Nah, I like a woman with a little meat on her bones” as you give us a squeeze.
9. You look way sexier when you come home all unkempt from Survivor than you do all cleaned up at the reunion show.
10. It’s sexy when you cook for us. Unless you’re wearing an apron. Then it’s just weird.
Everyone’s favorite Cylon, Tricia Helfer, is baring it all for Playboy.
Number Six, clothes zero.
Tricia Helfer, darling of Donalda and sex-oozing Cylon of TV’s hit Battlestar Galactica, is baring all in the latest Playboy.
What’s that sound you hear? Geeks shattering the sound barrier on their way to the 7-Eleven across from their parents’ basement?
Or gasps of disapproval from her hometown, a central Alberta village of fewer than 300 residents?
Helfer knows to expect both.
“I haven’t heard from anybody back home (yet), so I’m sure I’ll get a little bit more inundated next week,” Helfer says from L.A.
As for what the reaction to the 10-page nude pictorial — shot in Acapulco — will be, she admits, “I’m not sure. Obviously, there are all spectrums (of opinion), but I went into it knowing that. There will be people who disagree with it and people who think it’s fantastic. But I didn’t do it for other people, I did it for myself.
“I talked to every member of my family and essentially asked their permission. I wouldn’t do something to highly embarrass my family. They were all supportive. I went over the details with all of them.” She concludes, “Everyone’s going to get to see a lot more of me.”
The appearance — a no-brainer, really, considering as Number Six, a smouldering cyborg siren, Helfer has become science fiction’s newly minted sex symbol — comes after a two-year courtship in which the magazine’s editors pursued the statuesque former model.
So why did Helf say yes to Hef — or at least Hugh Hefner’s empire — now?
“I guess the timing is key quite often. In my mind, the timing was right. I got to choose the photographer and I always wanted to work with Sante D’Orazio and I had photo approval and my husband is 100 per cent behind it.”
She was further swayed when the magazine’s editors pointed out the other women who had doffed their duds in Playboy. “Charlize Theron, Gabrielle Reese, models like Stephanie Seymour and Cindy Crawford, Jamie Pressly — I respect these women. I looked at the photos they had done. They were beautiful, tasteful pictures. And coming from the modelling world, I certainly was not squeamish about nudity. We all have the same parts … (Modelling), you have to get used it. Not that that means you’re walking down the street flashing everyone.”
And while two years ago, she was still trying to establish herself as an actress — turning her back on a lucrative modelling career to do so — she now finds herself on Battlestar, a series which has garnered critical acclaim far surpassing anyone’s expectations.
Remember, in the goofy 1970s original series people wore capes, jumpsuits and played with robotic teddy bears. The disarmingly gritty redo, conversely, concerns itself with war, terrorism and paranoia.
“I wanted to get a base out there of people who know me as as an actor. I didn’t want to be thought of as someone who got one lucky job. I now have a career and my resume is growing. (The Playboy pictorial) is a compliment to a building career.”

This week, Helfer heads to New York to tape an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman tomorrow (the episode airs Friday). Then on Tuesday, she’s a guest on Howard Stern’s radio show. It’s her first time being interviewed by either media titan.
[...]
Stern, one expects, will reference the Playboy photos once. Or twice. Or more. “Who knows where (that conversation) will go? But Howard Stern is a big Battlestar fan, so that may make it a little easier. Or it may make it worse.”
[...]
Meanwhile, she awaits reaction to the Playboy spread from Donalda, which she just visited for four days at Christmastime. What might guys she dated in high school think when perusing the magazine, for example? She laughs, ” ‘I never saw those before!’ ”
Steven Taylor wonders why Helfer would pose node now, given her success as a serious actress, “One would think that Helfer would prefer to be taken seriously more for her acting talent at this stage of the game, rather than for other aspects of her career.” I suspect the payment was substantial.
And, as a quick glimpse at Google Images will demonstrate, it’s not like Hilfer hasn’t been photographed naked before.
The hatch is history. That was just one of the third-season secrets revealed by cast and crew of the TV drama “Lost,” who gathered here Tuesday night to mark the release of the DVD set, “Lost — The Complete Second Season.” “The hatch has definitely had its moment,” confirmed executive producer Bryan Burk, referring to the mysterious underground bunker that was the set for much of the series’ second-season drama. “Lets just say it was one big explosion.”
“Lost” cast members Evangeline Lilly, Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, Terry O’Quinn, Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjim Kim were among the attendees at the party at the Turtle Bay Resort, about a 20-minute drive from where much of “Lost” is filmed on the north shore of Oahu. Before heading in to celebrate their second-season work, the cast was asked to address their show’s surprising lack of presence among this year’s Emmy nominees. Though it was last year’s Emmy-winning drama, “Lost” was not among the current crop of nominated series, nor were any of its leading actors recognized.
“My first reaction to it was, `Good.’ I don’t want us to become that show that becomes so righteous, so above everything else, that we’re untouchable,” said Lilly, who will serve as a presenter at the Aug. 27 Emmy telecast. “When we started, our big question was, `Will anybody even watch this show?’ And then when people started watching, we were thrilled. And then when we got recognized critically, we were beside ourselves. So, when we didn’t get nominated, all we had to do was remember where we came from.”
Writer and executive producer Carlton Cuse told The AP he wasn’t losing sleep about the Emmy snub, either. “Were we disappointed that we didn’t get a nomination for the show? Yes.” he said. “But the show has been so blessed: the attention, the success. We’re not going to focus too long on what we don’t have.”
“Lost” fans can expect some big changes when new episodes return to ABC Oct. 4. There won’t be any more frustrating repeats. “Now, when `Lost’ is on, it’s on,” Cuse explained. “And when it’s off, it’s off. And when it’s on, you know it’s an original `Lost.’” The producers said six all-new “Lost” episodes will air in consecutive weeks this fall; the season’s remaining 17 new episodes will be scheduled without interruption from midwinter to late spring.
As for the story: If the first season was all about the original plane-crash survivors adjusting to their new lives on a deserted island, and the second season was all about the so-called “tailies” (those who were in the tail of the plane, whom the originals had thought were dead), “this year,” Lilly said, “we’ve opened this up to another whole other people, a whole other location, a whole other facet through which we can tell stories.”
Michael Emerson, who plays the leader of “The Others” group, noted, “What I know is that we get to go live with The Others, where they learn a little more about their life and, hopefully, their mission, their agenda, whatever that might be. Maybe we’ll get to warm up to them.”
Producer Burk promised that many of the second season’s looming questions would be answered in the first six episodes. But, warned actor Daniel Dae Kim, “I think for every question that’s answered, there’s another one that’s posed, and that’s kind of what keeps people coming back.”
Cuse said the new season will include more action and adventure, and that new characters could well serve as love interests. And, he added, Sawyer (Holloway) and Jack (Matthew Fox) will definitely be competing for the romantic affections of Kate (Lilly). But don’t expect the show to get all soft. “There’ll be a lot of love. There’ll be a lot of comedy,” Burk said. “But we can never forget that these people are in a very dark place.”
“Lost” and “Battlestar Galactica” are easily my favorite non-sports shows on these days. The new ABC Family show, “Kyle XY” is also interesting, although it’s a little too schmaltzy for my tastes.
The Weinstein Company has acquired the rights to develop and produce a feature film based on the original hit television series “Knight Rider.” The rights were purchased from Glen A. Larson (”Knight Rider,” “Magnum P.I.” “Fall Guy,” “Battlestar Galactica”), the original creator of the television show, and he will write the script and executive produce the project through his production company Glen A. Larson Productions. David Price brought the project to The Weinstein Company’s attention and will co-produce it.
Based on the 1980’s hit television series, “Knight Rider” is a revenge story about a police investigator who is shot on the job and left to die. Nursed back to health by a mysterious millionaire, he regains consciousness a new man with a new face and a new name: Michael Knight. His mysterious benefactor provides Michael with equipment and support so that he can continue his crime fighting work and ultimately get revenge on the people who left him to die.
Harvey Weinstein stated, “I am a huge fan of the original series and could not be happier that we’ve joined forces with Glen Larson to bring these iconic characters to the big screen.” Larson stated, “Teaming up with Harvey and Bob, with their unparalleled success in motion picture, gives Knight Rider an exciting opportunity to be a breakout franchise.” The original hit television show ran on NBC from 1982 through 1986 and starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight.
I’m not sure “iconic” would be a word I’d apply to “Knight Rider.” Shows about people talking to cars are hard to pull off.
Pulse will premiere next month with a mix of recycled original series and movies, as well as behind-the-scenes footage and other video extras. Exclusive original content including “webisode” spinoffs of primetime series and a weekly news show will be added in the summer. Sci Fi will go as far as testing potential series pilots online for viewer feedback.

“Galactica” executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick are working on “Caprica,” which traces the evolution of the Cylon species featured in the mothership show.
While I have watched television shows on a notebook computer on DVD and even digital download, I’m not sure I’m ready for direct-to-download television. When I’m not traveling, I far prefer the big screen, surround sound, and comfort of my den.
Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.
But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot: a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television’s first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.
I’m not a big fan of prequels but it sounds interesting.
