Hottie Recap

The last two items below deal with Salma Hayek and that’s not because of a lack of options but because Salma deserves it. In fact, she deserves a lot more but a couple

of MovieHotties.com excerpts in a single round-up will have to do for now.

We may have missed this when it was first announced but in all fairness to us, we’re only about a week late and it is a rather busy time of the year what with

the feigning yuletide joviality and commenting to friends and family on the gifts we have no intention of buying them. What we’re blathering on about here is that the

brooding Latino beefcakes at Latino Review have learned from a secret inside source that one-time Owen Wilson party crash partner and current Ryan Gosling love muffin

Rachel McAdams is the frontrunner for the role of Tony Stark aka Iron Man’s peppy

secretary/confidante Pepper Potts in the upcoming Jon Favreau-directed adaptation…

Reformed porn star and current Scientology advocate (on FX’s Nip/Tuck, we mean) Kelly Carlson will soon be taking her dangerously hot ass to the big

screen as she’s landed a starring

role in writer/director David Michael O’Neill’s poker drama/thriller PLAYER 5150. With the film currently underway, Carlson is playing the assistant and girlfriend of a

bookie who wants to keep her blissfully oblivious of his sordid machinations but finds, when she does become involved, she’s more than capable of handling the squalid

underworld of illegal gambling. The title of the film refers to an illegal gambler in distress, which could mean an illegal gambler on the verge of being discovered and

trembling at the prospect of having his ass kicked with three of four aluminum bats…

Peter Tolan is temporarily turning his attention away from the life of occasional rapist and notorious face rearranging firefighter Tommy Gavin on F/X’s Rescue

Me to focus on directing the drama FINDING AMANDA and is looking to veteran fictional Bandstand dancer and cinematic John Tucker wouldbe assassinator Brittany Snow to play the titular role. The story

finds the titular Amanda making ends meet as a stripper and hooker in Las Vegas; that is, of course until her junkie TV producer uncle, on prompting by his wife, shows up

to rescue her from the depravity of Las Vegas and transport her to the much more high class and top quality depravity of Los Angeles…

We realize Illeana Douglas isn’t the hottest actress around but she’s especially talented and she’s got all kinds of moxy so when we heard she recently premiered an

online meta-reality show she’d created in the vein of Curb Your Enthusiasm titled Illeanarama, we were all over that like the proverbial white on the proverbial rice. In it, she

stars as an alternate version of herself in which she eschews the soul-crushing world of Hollywood for a quiet, unassuming life as a small town grocery store bagger.

Making things even more meta and hilarious is Justine Bateman co-starring as a fellow grocery store employee who’s seemingly been at the “real job” gig a lot longer than

Illeana. Justine, surprisingly, doesn’t play the role with malice or scorn but with a delightfully quirky sense of wonder and happiness, especially as she regales Illeana with

stories of her previous escapades working other odd jobs…

If ever you needed convincing of how Audrey Tautou landed the role of Amelie Poulain in the self-titled film that launched her into international stardom, all you have to do is

point that gaze upwards at this video of her screen test for the role. We haven’t the slightest clue what she’s saying (other than the fact that she’s acting out a scene from

the film) but even with the language barrier, her undeniable screen presence and overwhelming adorableness shines through…

Having grown up in a “turkey farm” with a “little high school” in a rural town in Alberta, Canada, Erica Durance wasn’t entirely prepared for the glamorous world of straight-to-dvd starring roles,

magazine picture spreads and Howard Stern appearances in which her husband is ridiculed that inevitably followed after the producers of Smallville

noticed her devastating hotness coupled with a talent for spunk and plucked her from obscurity to portray one of the most iconic female characters of the twentieth century.

Fortunately for us, she’s open to the possibilties that lay ahead. Whether that be more straight-to-dvd films, more media appearances in which an actual blood relative is

ridiculed or a stint dancing in a spirited competition on primetime television, she’ll go wherever the road takes her. As she puts it…

Having mined every aspect of the medical profession and its immediate adjacent (nurses and whatnot) for episodic television and with renewed interest in the lives of

physicians thanks to the sex-crazed doctors on Grey’s Anatomy and the cantankerous House, Fox is now turning to the lives of

obtuse, feeble and hopeless emotionally disturbed physicians before they become the intelligent, authoritative but hopeless emotionally disturbed physicians strutting

around hospital hallways by greenlighting a show focusing

on burgeoning young doctors in an Ivy League medical school…

Comprehensive celebrity smut supersite Mr. Skin recently revealed its Top Ten Favorite Nude

Scenes of 2006, an honor bestowed only on Hollywood’s highest quality of smut that therefore rivals the Academy Awards in prestige and dignity, and the most favored

nude of the past year was none other than our goddess, our patron saint, our reason for living, Salma Hayek and her naked coquettish jaunt in the ocean in ASK THE

DUST. Gretchen Mol came in second with her various nude frolics as the titular Bettie Page in THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE and Brittany Daniel posted a strong smut

showing in RAMPAGE: THE HILLSIDE STRANGLER MURDERS to come in third but none were a match for the supernal knockers of our dear goddess Salma…

Last week’s mystery hottie was Venezuelan actress Catherine Fulop and this week’s hottie is HERE. Have a good weekend, folks.
