| 26 Images | South African born actress who like so many actresses that look as good as she does, started out in the modeling world. However, unlike most models turned actresses, she has become an Oscar nominee which was for her very un-pretty role in "Monster." However, before gaining the extra 30 pounds & layers of make-up, here's a collection of images ranging back through her acting roles and modeling gigs... ...view »

| 16 Images | Comedic roles are often overlooked by Oscar despite many an actor saying that doing comedy is harder than doing drama. Which proves the point that the AMPAS should include separate categories for comedic films and performances like the Golden Globes have. Diane, however, went against the odds by getting noticed by the Academy this year for what would be considered a comedic role. Las Vegas odds have her in second place to Charlize's performance which is surprising and probably due to her overall body of work instead of this particular performance. ...view »

| 18 Images | Oscar noticed Holly's 1993 performance where she more than convincingly pulled off the difficult accent of a mute. This time, her role of a mother of a troubled teen poked Oscar in the ribs and said, "Look at me, I should be a nominee!" (Sorry for that stupid sentence.) Here are some clips from "Thirteen" which you would never see her introduce on the talk show circuit... ...view »

| 18 Images | This role certainly would be considered dramatic. Not a laugh in sight in this movie. Definitely deserving of a nomination. However, doesn't it seem there to be a significant number of roles where the actors put on an accent (and do it well - no Mr. Costner, we're not talking about you) who are often nominated? It'd be curious to see the stat of the number of nominees using accents other than their own. Another interesting stat would be the number of nominees that played "special" people like Rain Man, Sling Blade, I Am Sam, Forrest Gump or Jessica Simpson. ...view »

| 15 Images | Just from dotting her 'I's, Francesca Piccinini can build up a good sweat during autograph sessions. So when her volley ball team, the Italian Blue Girls struck a deal with Nike to produce their teams official jerseys, the people in the letter 'I' department had to work overtime. Luckily, Nike planned ahead and got the cheapest child labour west of the Philippines. Francesca denies knowing anything about the alleged controversy and said she just tries to focus on her game by posing nude for a 2004 calendar. ...view »

| 10 Images | Based on scenes from Tinto Brass' 1993 film "L' Uomo che guarda" (The Voyeur), the Italian health care system supports the studies saying that sex has amazing healing abilities. Actress Cristina Garavaglia plays the live-in nurse in this erotic movie that North American audiences could never dream of being given a wide release in theatres. Many a North American would call a film like this porn while many Europeans probably see it as just another movie to take Grandma to. ...view »

| 6 Images | Seeing that the Oscars are only days away, I, your friendly neighborhood celebrity paparazzo, figured landing a cool Oscar related gig would fall into my lap. Pete thought wrong. Just because I don't have as much get-up-and-go as my fellow colleagues who manage to line these jobs up before labour day... but maybe some people can't get out of the house to hustle work because Mother insists on 2 hour foot massages after I bathe her. However, I did manage to get a bottom rung job where this dodgy tabloid asks me to get photos of a 2004 Oscar Nominee. I think, great! Until I find out they're wanting me to go out & get shots of Johnny Depp's wang-doodler. But seeing that Mother's hemroidal cream doesn't pay for itself, I took the job. Inside reports led me to a beach where Johnny likes to hang out. After hours of wading through leach infested water, the only shots I got was of Depp's lady friend, Vanessa Paradis. It was nice to have avoided seeing male peepee that day. However, my employers said that they were full up of French actresses sunbathing topless photos. Apparently, the French do that sort of thing all the time. I wouldn't know, seeing that some people's Mothers don't like their sons getting too worldly by "reading". In the end, I never got paid & Mother is flaring up again. Pete is getting upset. ...view »

| 6 Images | Model Carmen Kass models the latest in fashion for the FallWinter line from Tony Hillfrigger which debuted in Paris this weekend. However, critics of the show quickly pointed out that most clothing lines for the Fall and Winter seasons do tend to have the application of keeping someone protected from the elements and that Hillfrigger's total lack of cloth or any other piece of attire for that matter, would not succeed at doing this. However, after a poll was conducted amongst the local pubs in Paris, an overwhelming majority found the new look worth looking into further. ...view »

| 13 Images | Models seem to be pegged into different categories based on their "look" and 2 of these categories where you don't see a lot of cross over is the chi chi (spellcheck please) fashion, runway type of modeling versus the sporty swimsuit modeling. Angela Lindvall was at one time primarily working in the world of living skeletons all dolled up and deemed gorgeous by gay fashion designers. Seems like a scary place. However, this year, Angela crossed over, like a few other of her colleagues, to the sporting world of swimsuit modeling where the curves are soft & fleshy. Not pointy and anemic. Although, one could argue that even the sporty models tend to have the odd rib poking underneath their swimwear. Either way, it's nice to see a variety of "looks" throughout every spectrum of modeling. ...view »

| 3 Images plus 5 Video Clips | Rich girl Paris Hilton wanted to change her selfish and self indulgent image by giving a job rather than getting one. When asked what prompted her sudden charitable behavior, Paris replied, "Well, you know... with all the stress in the world caused from like, the Americans bombing places like Mexico because of all the evil tourists that like, Bush keeps talking about, I felt I should put out, like a positive vibe by performing horatio. At least, that's my boyfriend told me." (Warning: the following video clips show explicit charity which may be shocking to some. So, for the good of the children, who ARE our future, the following clips can only be seen in the protected area of the site.) ...view »

| 8 Images | Not since the infamous 'Did George Lucas Promote Incest With The Luke & Laya Kiss in Episode 4 Battle Royal' of 86 has there been this many sci-fi enthusiasts concussed simultaneously. When Todd Boyle of Sumwares, Wisconsin attempted to utter the name Gigi with a soft G, fellow Farscape convention attendee Stewart Ped took exception and a melee ensued. Australian actress and star of the TV series "Farscape" Gigi Edgley could not be reached for comment when asked by convention promoters, "How the heck do you pronounce your name?" Later, Farscape publicists decided to hand out free pocket books at the next convention containing the following pictures of Gigi hoping to please upset Farscape fans. No violence occurred this time but during the part of the convention where fans ask cast members questions, almost no one would stand up to the mic to ask their question. ...view »

| 13 Images | During the filming of 1993s "L' Uomo che guarda" (that's believed to be Italian for The Voyeur,) director Tinto Brass realized quickly that any movie with the word voyeur must of course contain numerous scenes of nudity. As luck would have it, the script mentioned such things as taking place in a Roman college, a scene of a professor driving a beautiful young student home, and a father having a live-in nurse. Brass had much more luck convincing cast member Katarina Vasilissa that her nude scenes would move the story forward in "The Voyeur" than the time he tried to explain to the entire ensemble cast how important a certain shower scene was THE pivotal moment for the ill fated "Golden Girls The Motion Picture". However, Brass had Estelle Getty at "Hello". ...view »

| 17 Images | Australia's provocative pop singer, and dare I say, 'artist' Kylie Minogue surprised this anti-pop music critic by gracing the audience in New York with the presence of her real singing voice during the live taping (oxymoron) of the Late Show with David Letterman. Most pop-divas (hate that term) these days seem to be missing the proper connections in their brains to allow them to both dance AND sing. So it was a nice change of pace to see, actually, HEAR that Kylie has the ability to do both. The music itself wasn't even grating enough to the ears to mute the tv and just watch her sexy dancy (yes, dancy) moves. C'mon, all those alt rock fans out there, you know you've done that while perusing the channels and just happen to land on mtv showing the latest Brittany video. One normally doesn't admit such things but Kylie's tunes are actually kinda catchy. But not catchy in that bang your head against the wall until it bleeds to drain the venomous sounds of another bad pop song out of your head kind of way. ...view »

| 12 Images | Once the tabloids get a celebrity in their scope, there seems to be no mercy. However, how much of it is fed to the media to begin with to start the avalanche? Jennifer Lopez seems to be one of those celebrities who craves, and in fact, basks in the attention but has she finally reached her limit? It appears she ducked out the limelight a bit lately but could it all be another strategy on her part to have some sort of "comeback" to sell a new JLo product? Either way, who really wants to have cameras poking up your butt everytime you turn around? Maybe it's part of the whole plan for the JLo empire to take over every form of media. Only she knows... ...view »

| 24 Images | Thanks to cable, Kim Cattrall has been able to continue doing nude scenes as she has steadily done in her movie career. Along with her numerous skin baring scenes in HBO's "Sex And The City" she has dawned her b-day attire in movies like 1981s "Porkys" and 1985s "Hold-Up"... but its her role on SATC that has allowed us to remember her in numerous memorable nude and even non-nude scenes. ...view »

| 11 Images | It is not often that the painting is out shone by the canvas... but when the canvases are some of the biggest names (some new ones too) in the supermodel business, distraction from the supposed art will occur. The merging of paint and supermod-bod first hit the magazine shelves back in 1999. Apparently it was a hit and so it has happened again in 2004. The only critic here is that this year's edition isn't quite as dynamic as 99's. Nor have they done anything drastically new with this neat little gimmick. However, they might consider doing this every year but should branch out with new themes, styles and such, to make this body art more diverse and interesting. Oh, and feel free to feature hockey more often in your magazine. ...view »

| 21 Images | It appears that the lack of appearances of certain models in the latest issue of the sporting mag "for men" is based on... on... what exactly? It's hard to say because one had thought that when Laetitia Casta and more recently, Adriana Lima pulled the gig of "advertise swimming wear" off quite well and stood out from the rest of the crowd when they dawned swim trunks. One might suspect that Laetitia decided to slow down her two dimensional posing career and go onto other things like making movies. Which is probably more fulfilling and offers others to enjoy her talents in a more dynamic media... this is of course, hinders on if she can act or not. As for the Brazilian born Adriana... one doesn't recall hearing anything about a career change for this beauty. Perhaps her busy schedule didn't allow for it in oh-four. Maybe next year. ...view »

| 6 Images | Usually getting the gig of showing up in a sports magazine around the middle of winter launches some models' careers... but Kate Moss wasn't one of those models. Her claim to fame was being one of the symbols of that whole "keep that sandwich away from me" trend that the fashion industry forced upon us in the 90s. She surpassed and outlived that trend and went on to keep her modeling career going. All, except the polar bear rug photo, show Kate's career hasn't gotten stale. She's not afraid to shy away from the shiny plastic glamour type of modeling and get back in touch with the rawness of just posing nude for the camera. ...view »

| 39 Images | The odd thing about this particular Meg Ryan movie is that Tom Hanks is no where to be seen. 'In The Cut' does away with Meg's cute and perky persona which makes for a nice change of pace for the actress.

| 5 Images | Gavin Smith of Brule, Alberta is that area's biggest Star Trek fan but will correct you and let you know that no, he's "the biggest 'Star Trek ENTERPRISE' fan." He adds, "The older series' didn't have enough hot Vulcans to sustain my suspension of disbelief." So when Jolene Blalock was cast as Enterprise's Subcommander T'Pol, who also happens to be an attractive Vulcan, Gavin finally felt the Star Trek franchise had something to offer him. Smith's parents recently made a deposit at the local Home Depot to add another bathroom to their house. When asked what he thought of his parents' gift of his own private bathroom for his 38th birthday, "I've already split the cable so I can get my TV in there too." But for now, Gavin will just be happy with this latest pictorial Jolene made for Enterprise fans all over the world. ...view »

| 8 Images | Way back in 1994 I found myself seeking new hope for a better planet other than my own. Then coincidentally 'Earth2' premiered on TV and made me feel that much more optimistic because let's face it, Sci-Fi is the only true form of art to give a positive vision of the future. Other than Oprah of course. However, this happy place I found myself in morphed into an obsession with one of Earth2's cast members. Rebecca Gayheart gave me a focus to save some money to buy a $50 camera, take an 8 hour photography course, move out of my parent's house & get me a job at the local celebrity tabloid paper. After some border line legal stalking & many hours sitting in poison ivy filled bushes, I finally got to shoot the scenes that should have made it into 'Earth2' 10 years ago which would have kept the series going longer than 22 episodes... but that's just my opinion. (Disclaimer: Not all opinions made by fake reporters are necessarily the opinion of the Babes of Babylon website.) ...view »

Which is in sharp contrast to her little romp in the sack with Pierce Brosnan's Bond in 'Die Another Day' where two secret agents make the sex within only hours of meeting each other. You know, that typical real life story. In real life, Halle choked on a fig during the making of that scene and Pierce had to give her the Heimlich (spell check that.) Now there's a real life moment we can all relate to, or am I the only one? ...view »

Sometimes even actresses will turn into models when they don't even know it's happening.
