Quentin Tarantino is planning to remake Russ Meyer’s graduate thesis on the complex and intertwined relationship between heaving bosoms and ultraviolence, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
The New York Post reports that porn queen Tera Patrick is being considered for a role. “Quentin loves her, and she’s a dead ringer for original star Tura Satana.” said the source.
Patrick gushes over the Russ Meyer 1966 cult film about three women on a violent desert road trip.
“It would be the hottest remake ever, and I’m honored to be considered,” she told Page Six. “I was built for this part.”
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1965 film directed by Russ Meyer, who also wrote the script with Jack Moran. It stars Tura Satana, Haji, and Lori Williams.
The film features gratuitous violence, sexuality, provocative gender roles, and campy dialogue. It has become a cult film favorite and has been widely referred to in pop culture.
It is one of Meyer’s more provocatively titled and explicitly exploitative films, yet unlike most of his films, it does not contain explicit nudity.
Some say the best part of summer is the smell of fresh cut grass or going to the beach and watching the sunset. Awww. In all honesty unless you are a free of genitalia or Clay Aiken, bikini photos are the best part of summer.
Carrie Underwood hit the beach and took a quick dunk in the water. While Jessica Simpson may sport a bigger rack, Underwood has the better bod for the skimpy swim suit.
Last night, Bill O’Reilly showed footage of Rev. Jesse Jackson saying disparaging words about Barack Obama during a break. Ok, he threatened to cut his nuts off.
Jackson claims he thought the microphones were turned off. Likely excuse. The reporter beside him totally knew the mics were on, you can see it on his face.
Jesse has already apologized and Obama has already accepted his apology.
The View discusses:
I think Obama let him off too easy — and it’s obvious Rev. Jackson is envious of Obama’s campaign success — he wasn’t so fortunate.
Recently two of the Internet’s loveliest personalities, Xeni Jardin of Boing Boing and sex columnist Violet Blue, had a very public row in the blogosphere when Jardin removed every reference to Blue from public view on her site, totaling around 70 posts.
As the New York Times notes, the fracas raised the issue of whether unpublishing posts on a popular blog (currently there are 1,600-plus comments on the decision) is something a blogger has a right to do.
We’ll, Playboy got a bit more excited when they saw old pics of the pair canoodling on Valleywag. Two sexy, smart, web-savvy women — they couldn’t think of anything hotter.
Playboy Asks: Who are some more of the blogosphere’s sexiest women?
Playboy scanned the web for some of the hottest female bloggers and video bloggers (or “vloggers”) from the worlds of finance, entertainment, tech and sex, and they want to know who your favorite is.
UPDATE (James): Apparently, Sarah Lacy is getting quite a bit of traffic out of the whole thing proving, as if anyone still doubted it, that sex sells.
I’ve had one of the biggest traffic days in months, post the whole Playboy mention. Of course, anyone coming here looking for sexy photos was probably disappointed to read about nothing but my book tour!
I’m a little surprised people have balked so much at the Playboy thing. Clearly, I would never consider actually posing nude and assume most of the girls on the list wouldn’t either. (No, TechCrunch commenters, not even for a lot of money. Seriously, what is wrong with men? Just because they’ll get naked at the drop of a hat they think it’s somehow irresistible?) But that’s not all Playboy is about either. Loads of politicians, celebrities, business people have been interviewed and featured in Playboy before, even if no one really reads it for the articles.
She is, incidentally, wearing clothing in all photos displayed on the site.

Lara Logan, the chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, tells The Washington Post she is pregnant, and the father is a married federal contractor whom she met while stationed in Iraq.
Logan’s relationship with Joseph Burkett - who’s in the midst of a divorce from wife Kimberly, with whom he has a 3-year-old daughter - has made media headlines, including the front page of the New York Post.
Logan is going through a divorce from estranged husband Jason Siemon, a Chicago-based energy lobbyist whom she married in 1998.
“Nobody likes to read about themselves like that, especially the way it’s been sensationalized,” Logan, 37, told The Washington Post. “I hated it. But I’m just going to rise above it and keep going.”
Logan, whose pregnancy was unplanned, told the newspaper her due date is in January, and she’s “looking forward to being a mom.”
Logan - a South Africa native who began dating Burkett following her November breakup with CNN correspondent Michael Ware - said she and Burkett plan to marry eventually.
Logan’s publicist, Tom Keaney, declined to comment.
The reporter - known for her intrepid war coverage - was promoted to CBS’ chief foreign affairs correspondent last month, and is based in Washington.
Logan, a contributor to “60 Minutes,” has won numerous reporting accolades, including an Emmy and Overseas Press Club Award
Dismissing privacy concerns, a federal judge overseeing a $1 billion copyright-infringement lawsuit against YouTube has ordered the popular online video-sharing service to disclose who watches which video clips and when.
A judge ordered YouTube to produce data on which of its videos get viewed most often and by whom.
U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton authorized full access to the YouTube logs after Viacom Inc. and other copyright holders argued that they needed the data to show whether their copyright-protected videos are more heavily watched than amateur clips.
The data would not be publicly released but disclosed only to the plaintiffs, and it would include less specific identifiers than a user’s real name or e-mail address.
Lawyers for Google Inc., which owns YouTube, said producing 12 terabytes of data — equivalent to the text of roughly 12 million books — would be expensive, time-consuming and a threat to users’ privacy.
The database includes information on when each video gets played, which can be used to determine how often a clip is viewed. Attached to each entry is each viewer’s unique login ID and the Internet Protocol, or IP, address for that viewer’s computer.
Stanton ruled this week that the plaintiffs had a legitimate need for the information and that the privacy concerns are speculative.
Stanton rejected a request from the plaintiffs for Google to disclose the source code — the technical secret sauce — powering its market-leading search engine, saying there’s no evidence Google manipulated its search algorithms to treat copyright-infringing videos differently.
The court has yet to rule on Google’s requests to question comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert of Viacom’s Comedy Central.

Alex Rodriguez’s relationship with Madonna was “an affair of the heart” – not “sexual infidelity” – according to Cynthia Rodriguez’s lawyer.
Still, the baseball star’s relationship with the singer “was the last straw” before the Yankee slugger’s wife filed for divorce Monday, her Houston attorney, Earle Lilly, states.
Lilly says that A-Rod was smitten with Madonna, but makes no claim of any sexual liaison. “The correct analysis is a relationship,” he says. “Some people categorize an affair as something as sexual infidelity. We’re not claiming that. It’s an affair of the heart.”
Over the weekend, Madonna issued a statement denying a romantic relationship with the baseball star, saying, “I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage.”
In fact, “Madonna’s name is not even mentioned in the papers,” says Lilly. “We don’t want the public to think this is an aggressive action against Madonna.”
Still, Lilly maintains that A-Rod has behaved badly for “a good while” and his client, Cynthia Rodriguez, has had enough. “She’s just a Greek Orthodox lady who has had as much as she can take,” he says.
Shortly before 9 a.m. Monday, Cynthia’s Miami attorney Maurice Kutner filed the divorce petition.
“This is an action for dissolution of marriage, which is being filed only after [Cynthia Rodriguez] has exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage of the parties,” the document reads. “However, Alex has emotionally abandoned his wife and children and has left her with no choice but to divorce him.”
Without naming any names, the document states, “The marriage of the parties is irretrievably broken because of the husband’s extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct.”
The couple were married Nov. 2, 2002 in Dallas. They have two daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, 2 months.
Both Lilly and Kutner maintain that their client hopes to settle the divorce as amicably as possible.
“Cynthia has made it very clear to me that she wants to take the high road and protect her children and herself,” Kutner said shortly after filing the papers. “She wants to resolve the issues between Alex and herself in an amicable fashion.”
A lawyer reportedly representing Alex Rodriguez did not immediately return calls for comment.

Lindsay Lohan was being interviewed on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and all but admitted that she was in a relationship with Samantha Ronson — Like we didn’t know.
When asked about plans for the future, Lohan said the most important thing to her was,
“living a happy, healthy year” and “being with the person that I care about.”
In other Lohan news — It was a prom-themed party last night as Lindsay celebrated her 22nd birthday at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
