Sexy Scout Taylor-Compton Gets Stuck in a Sauna at '247°F'
Written by: Goreboy
It's getting' hot in here, So take off all your clothes. I'm sure thats not going to happen in this film, but we will get to see Scout Taylor-Compton stuck in a sauna sweating it up in a tiny bikini.
Anchor Bay Films presents a claustrophobic horror film that gives you no choice but to sweat with 247°F. The film stars genre favorites Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween and Halloween II), Christina Ulloa (“Californication,” “Charmed”), Travis Van Winkle (Friday the 13th remake) and Tyler Mane (Rob Zombie’s Halloween and Halloween II). This horror movie plans to hear thing up on Blu-ray and DVD on October 23, 2012.
It seems like more and more contained space horror movies have been popping up. I'm sure one reason is the low budget need to produce such a film. Many turn up to be big flops but when a 'contained space' horror is done right it can be a frighting experience. Check out the trailer and Blu-ray artwork below.
Synopsis:
Jenna (Scout Taylor-Compton) is traumatized when she is trapped in a small vehicle after a car accident, forced to observe the mangled corpse of her fiancée in the driver’s seat until help arrives. Fast forward three years, Jenna and her three friends travel to a lakeside cabin for a carefree weekend. The fun quickly becomes a nightmare when three of them end up locked in a compact, hot sauna. As fear sets in and Jenna reconnects with the horror of “the incident,” every minute counts and every degree matters as they fight for their lives in heat that is quickly approaching 247°F – the temperature when the human body expires. See Scout Taylor-Compton and Tyler Mane reunited for the first time since the Rob Zombie’s Halloween films in a thriller that will satisfy just about everything -- but your thirst.
* Scout Taylor-Compton is like female version of Michael Caine. Instead of money as it was for Caine, Scout will accept any role as long as she doesn't have to take her top off or can circumvent around it. Presently stuck in horror genre, Miss Taylor-Compton is 23. She will go topless in few years when the casting competition really heats up in saturated industry and opportunities dries up. Joe Pesci is the only one who managed to catch a glimpse of the cupcakes on-cam and also sucked on a nipple in Love Ranch (2010).

Check out Ray Stevenson, Yvonne Strahovski and the rest of the gang in new "Dexter" season 7 stills
It's coming... In less than two months, the seventh season of "Dexter" will be upon us and the anticipation is almost palpable. The good folks behind the series are well aware of that and they've just released a new batch of images from the second and third episode of the season (entitled "The Shadow Knows" and "Buck the System" respectively). The pics give us a look at some of the new cast members, including badass Ray Stevenson and hottie Yvonne Strahovski. Check'em out below."Dexter" Season 7 stars Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Desmond Harrington, James Remar, David Zayas, C.S. Lee, Ray Stevenson, Santiago Cabrera, Katia Winter, Matt Gerald, Lauren Velez, Yvonne Strahovski (below), Jason Gedrick and Calista Flockhart. The season premieres September 30th on Showtime.
‘Dexter’ season 7 spoilers: When will Yvonne Strahovski first turn up?
We all know that Yvonne Strahovski is going to be making an appearance on “Dexter” in a major story this season, but there is still one other serious question worth asking here — just when will she turn up for the first time? Luckily, we now have the answer for you.
At this point, the majority of the Hannah storyline could not be under a tighter lock and key. We know that she is carrying with her some sort of “dark secret” about her past, and it may be that she was once involved in a stream of crimes herself. What we are the most curious about, though, is whether or not she is still in this world as a criminal, and is just trying to get close to some action to facilitate her crimes. The closest thing that “Dexter” has had to a female villain was Lila back in season 2, and that was rather short-lived. It’s also possible that the show could go a completely different route and make her a love interest, but we really like to think instead that Lumen was Dexter’s one true love, at least in terms of being one of the few people who fully understood him and would carry his secret to her grave.

It takes a strong woman to strip down to her birthday suit the first day on the job, and model-turned-actress Jessica Clark is just that and more.
The 27-year-old Brit is causing a stir on HBO's True Blood as the beautiful and beguiling Lilith, who we met in Episode 7 when her naked body rose suddenly from a pool of blood. We still don't don't know much about Lilith, who is said to be the world's first vampire — is she even real, or just a V-induced hallucination? — but according to the actress who plays her, the truth will soon reveal itself.
Wetpaint Entertainment recently caught up with Jessica, who gave us the inside scoop on her character, what it's like being the new kid in Bon Temps, and how she calmed her nerves in front of co-star hotties Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer!
Wetpaint Entertainment: As a newcomer on the show, what was it like filming your first scene completely naked in front of a group of people you just met?
Jessica Clark: It was pretty intense. It was my first day on set, so you show up early in the morning, and you start meeting everybody, go to wardrobe — as it were, not that I had a particularly extensive wardrobe. [laughs] And the other actors, everybody on the set was incredibly kind and welcoming. The cast is great, the crew is great.
The scene, as you remember, is in the karaoke bar, so there are a lot of people there. You have almost all the vampires, plus the wedding party, plus the extras, and then you have the full crew as well. It's a closed set, but a closed set just means anybody that isn't central to the scene isn't there, but there were a lot of people who were central to this scene. [laughs]
You must have been nervous! What was your mindset?
My mindset as Jessica was that you obviously want to do a good job, and it's your first day, and so you get a little anxiety in that respect, but I just really tried to keep my mindset as Lilith, who is this all-powerful vampire goddess. In no way shape or form would she ever experience any self-consciousness or anxiety. To be naked is the natural state coming out of the blood.
So I really just tried to stay present and connected to that power and omnipotence and the thrill of her witnessing The Authority really feast and really worship her in that respect.
How did you get into character? Did you channel Lilith in the biblical sense, or was there some other strong female figure you had in mind?
I read about Lilith herself. I did some research on her. She's present in various books of mythology, and various histories and different cultures had different interpretations of her over the years.
I just so enjoyed her power as a woman, as a biblical, historical, and mythological woman. For a female to have that kind of power and presence was extremely rare, and she was demonized for it in some cultures, so it was that more so than any other specific character.
I really tried to connect with the different interpretations of her, and of course, the specific interpretations that the True Blood world has created.
We always have to ask what it's like working with Alexander Skarsgard, Stephen Moyer, and all the other fabulous True Blood cast members.
Stephen and Alex, they were both fantastic and came right up and introduced themselves. Everybody did, in fact. One of the wonderful things about the set is that as intense as everything gets, it's a real family environment and really jovial. People are joking around, and they really much incorporated me into that very quickly.
The running opening line to me was, "Welcome to True Blood!" But they see it all the time. The rest of the cast has had scenes that involve some kind of nudity, and the crew has worked on the show for a long time, so it really is just another day at the office. In that sense it was great, because they weren't remotely phased, and it helped me.
But I can't speak more highly of them, and you just never know walking into a set — especially a highly established set with such huge stars as Anna [Paquin] and Stephen and Alex, and it's Season 5. I think there's always some chance that people have become disenchanted, or it's not that exciting anymore, but there's no sense of that on the set. Everybody is so excited and invested in creating the best show possible. There's just such a commitment from the leading cast and that infiltrates everybody.
Were you able to meet Anna, even though she wasn't in the scene?
I did get to meet Anna, because she was incredibly gracious and came and introduced herself to me, which — as you said, she wasn't even in that scene — so I was extremely impressed. And I just think she's a phenomenal talent. She was wonderful and welcoming and lovely.
What else can we expect from Lilith? Will we see her again or was she just a hallucination?
I think you will find more about Lilith.
If you had it your way, where you would like to see Lilith go as the season progresses?
I think the True Blood writers are more creative than anything I could ever come up with, so I'm just enjoying the ride. I have always loved the show, and have always wanted to be on the show. Not only was I lucky enough to be cast, but as such a fun character.
I mean, I'm a vampire, I get to have fangs! I'm very into my fangs. So I'm just loving and appreciating it, in whatever capacity they deem Lilith to evolve. I can't wait to see either!
As a fan of the show, is there anyone you would just love to get the chance to film a scene with?
I think Anna, just because she is such phenomenal talent and her work is so nuanced and so clever. She brings so much to Sookie, so that's who I would love to have a scene with.
My favorite character on the show is Pam. I think she's a lot of people's favorite, but I just think Kristin [Bauer van Straten] is phenomenal, and she does such a fabulous job. She was the one person that, having met her, I was just like, "I really love your work." That was the one time I fangirled very slightly, but the rest of the time I kept myself very cool.
In terms of people who don't interact with the vampire world, I think Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse) is superb. I just love what he does.
And obviously, the most important question: Team Eric or Team Bill?
That's beyond my capability! Not even Lilith can make that decision.

A Guy Says: Kristen Stewart Cheated on Robert Pattinson to Win a Role in Fifty Shades of Grey
It’s no wonder the KStew scandal continues to captivate: Each passing day brings something more scintillating. First, my fellow Crushable writer Jenni Maier speculated the whole thing is a massive PR stunt. Then, we find out Rob is staying at Reese Witherspoon’s vacation house and Kristen is being consoled by Jodie Foster. Both of those instances are pointed reminders that if you want a celebrity to hug you, cheat on someone or be cheated on. Maybe if I got a girlfriend, I could cheat on her and finally get a hug from Scarlett Johansson.There is, however, at least one Hollywood relationship going strong. I am, of course, referring to Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.
Upon first glance, it wouldn’t appear that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s relationship has anything to do with Kristen’s current predicament. You could argue that Mila and Ashton are rubbing it in Rob and Kristen’s faces by having a fictional relationship that’s working in real life. But there’s no basis in speculating that Mila and Ashton are only dating to make fun of Robsten.
On the other hand, I’d like to speculate that Kristen’s affair has a lot to do with Mila Kunis. It’s perfectly clear to me that she cheated on Robert Pattinson to win a role as Anastasia Steele in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. I know you’re saying, “That’s not true. You just made that up.” And you are right, I did just make that up. But the idea is so crazy that it might just be dead-on.
Let’s look at the facts. Earlier this year, Mila trounced Kristen in Esquire‘s hottest woman in 2012 poll, and recently, an EntertainmentWise poll found that Mila is edging out Kristen to actually play Anastasia. In an effort to make herself seem like more of a seductress, she cheats on Robert Pattinson, which causes anybody thinking of Anastasia to also think of Kristen Stewart. If you don’t believe me, let’s follow the logic-chain: Anastasia to fictional sexpot to real-life sexpot to current Hollywood sex scandals to Kristen Stewart. It’s an ironclad link, which of course Kristen realized weeks ago when she was falling behind Mila for the role of a lifetime.
And if I’m a studio exec, am I choosing the girl who’s dating the guy she dated on That 70s Show, or am I choosing the girl who ruined the most important relationship in her life for this role? If I’m a studio exec, I’m choosing neither. I’m going with Meryl Streep. She’d still be the best.

HBO’s Allison Williams Got Awkward on Stage at CollegeHumor’s Annual Offline Show

HBO’s Allison Williams Got Awkward on Stage at CollegeHumor’s Annual Offline Show
On the Internet, everyone acts like they're 13.
by
A surprisingly diverse crowd showed up at The Gramercy Theater last night for the annual CollegeHumor Offline show. The audience was almost half female and included numerous fans significantly older than the site’s namesake demographic.
 |
HBO Girls star Allison Williams, left, and CollegeHumor’s Josh Ruben. |
The content, however, was exactly what you’d expect if you’ve ever perused CollegeHumor for some sophomoric fun. The show featured a familiar crew—Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenfeld of the site’s most popular series, Jake and Amir, Elaine Carroll of Very Mary-Kate—delivering familiar punch lines, most to the effect of, “I put my dick in your Sprite.” CollegeHumor’s editor in chief Streeter Seidell opened the show with a few jokes about peeing himself and disliking farmer’s markets before assuring the audience that there were a lot more “cumming jokes” to look forward to. In that respect, the performers did not disappoint.
The highlight of the show was HBO’s “Girls“ star Allison Williams, who, in a floral cocktail dress and stilettos looked indistinguishable from Marni, her prim-and-proper character on the show. Ms. Williams, of course, has reportedly been dating CollegeHumor and Notional founder Ricky Van Veen for some time now. A CollegeHumor representative declined to comment. However, the two are often spotted together at parties and recently appeared hand-in-hand in a video shot at Jakob Lodwick’s wedding.
“Tell me about your show because there’s a lot of sex and I don’t know if it’s simulated,” Gale Beggy, the CollegeHumor personality played by Josh Ruben in drag, asked.
“Gale, all of the sex is simulated,” Ms. Williams responded with good-natured exasperation. “It’s not a porn.”
Despite Ms. Williams’s background in improv (“All of my experience before Girls was live,” she told Betabeat after the show) the majority of her jokes fell painfully flat. When asked about her own beauty procedures, Ms. Williams first responded “This isn’t my face…I just got it,” before telling the audience that she uses “a lot of blood, a lot of cat urine,” and “your saliva, actually” to keep herself looking fresh.
Her exaggerated attempts at physical comedy—putting a hand on Mr. Ruben’s knee and constantly pushing up his stuffed chest—didn’t do her many favors, although the audience didn’t seem to mind. As Ms. Williams exited the stage, a voice from the crowd shouted, “nice legs.”
The show concluded with Jake and Amir, who gave the audience a list of ten first date ideas (three of which involved proposing marriage and one which involved a trip to Napa Valley) and ended with a freestyle rap about aardvark cum, featuring Hoodie Allen and a fully suited aardvark.
After the show, we spoke to Mr. Seidell, who, currently 29, has been married for almost a year. He laughed when we asked if he ever feels like he is outgrowing his audience. “It’s the Internet, so its hard to tell exactly how old they are, since everybody acts like they’re 13,” he said. “We always joke like, ‘Oh, do you get fired when you’re 30?’ And the first of us just turned 30, so we’ll find out I guess.”
When asked about the funniest thing he’s seen on the Internet lately, Mr. Seidell had to think. “I literally see thousands of funny things online each day,” he explained, adding, “I don’t want to give a bad answer.”
He proceeded to recount a video featuring an Olympic gymnast perfectly landing a vaulting pass where in the background you can see the judge’s jaw drop, before conceding, “That’s not really that funny, I guess. Honestly, the thing I probably laughed the hardest at was a gif of a cat falling off a counter, so that would be, sadly, what I think is the funniest.”
We turned the question around to Ms. Williams, who barely hesitated. “I like any video of a person who just had dental surgery,” she offered enthusiastically. “And I’ve watched a lot of them lately.”

Ghana supermodel tells her story; "I had to go nude for my first magazine cover shoot"
She couldn’t hold back the lack of respect she faced and yet many more coming models still face same.
Having come into the modeling scene in 2008 after watching and getting inspired by her mentor, Belinda Baidoo, she has since never looked back and thus three years later, in 2011, she bagged the Model of the Year Award at the maiden edition of the Ghana Fashion Awards. A big boost to her passion…the dark sleek beauty spoke of different issues that have built her steadfastness and zeal to push further when we caught up with her...one on one!It’s been over a year now, but we will still have to say congratulations on your award as the Model of the Year at the last Ghana Fashion Awards 2011. How has the feeling been so far?
The feeling has been great and appreciated on every passing day. I am been so grateful to God and the organizers for the entire concept.
What led you into modeling?
I was watching the TV one day sometime in 2008, then this young lady by name Berlinda Baidoo was just talking about modeling and how she has made it and how she has been relegated to the background because of her color…and then she inspired me with the words of never giving up on your dreams and aspiration. I was triggered that day because earlier on when I decided to do this, my peers do tease me with my dark color and here I was watching Berlinda talking on the advantages of my color. Then soon I was introduced to her by a cousin and the rest they say is history now.
Psychologically, has modeling affected any aspect of your life, family or relationship?
Yes it has. Modeling has brought me this far. I am very passionate about it when I talk about this and as well I cry when I get to say that it almost marred my family relationship with my mum. She is a strict Pentecostal Deaconess and you can imagine the kind of looks she may probably get from people around when they get to know that I am the lady on the bill board posed semi nude. It has somehow hinted my mind on it but this is just professionalism and it is what I do as a career and I guess she understands as well as I have cautioned my approach to certain shoots I do now.
Some of the platforms and countries you have graced as a model?I have been on over 25 runways and yet I still feel that there is more to do. I am just still starting my career but I have been on the FIMA in Niger and the late Gaddafi’s birthday celebration in Libya which was courtesy of the renowned Alphadi from Niger. I have also been on the Be Bold Fashion Show, Canoe 53 Sails, Ghana Fashion Train, the Launch of Glitz Magazine, and many more.
Will you do anything to meet your client’s requirement as a model?
Professionally yes. As I just told you that I have had to go on a photo shoot for a magazine without anything on. Well that is my job and after that nothing else. Luckily in my case, it was a lady who was the photographer.
[Cut in…]Would you have rejected if it were a male?
I am not saying that I would have ran out of the studio had it been a male, but I am just pointing out that I have grown to understand what professionalism is and I apply it in my career.
Why did you leave your seat at the Ghana Fashion Awards before your name was mentioned, was it fear of losing out?
No. I was just tensed, that’s all. This is my first major award for my hard work in the last four years and I guess you know how the feeling is like.
What are some of the challenges you have had to face as a model?I have had to face a great deal of prejudice among some peers. My color has really brought me tears and smiles. When I was growing up, my peers do tease me with my dark color and even now that I am matured, I still face a lot of that even from those I feel should rather encourage me but that’s life though. Along all these challenges, I must confess that my dark color skin has brought me this far. I really thank God and appreciate his hand work in my life. Apart from my skin color, models aren’t respected here in Ghana and it hurts. I want to see a time that credence will be given to model.
Do you want to say that no model has become ‘big’ whilst practicing in Ghana?
Can you name anyone of them who have made it big on the world stage coming from Ghana? They all go outside Ghana and then make it there before coming back home. Ghanaians don’t respect models and it is high time we give some respect to the passion that has also put us on world map. We have great models that have done Ghana proud, from the likes of Berlinda Baidoo, Pearl Amoah, Selassie Shirley, Kate Mensah, Hamamat, etc.

Risque-titled film divides India
"JISM 2" stars a hard-core porn actress, and it does have that pesky title. But it's not a porn movie. Bollywood is certainly not ready for that.
The film, which will be released across India on Friday, is pushing the ever-widening sexual boundaries enjoyed by many in urban India. It shows no frontal nudity - government censors monitoring a film industry that long refused to show onscreen kissing would never clear that - but with its oil massages and fantastic lingerie it promises to be one of the most graphic films in Bollywood history.
At the same time, growing sexual freedom has sparked a backlash by traditionalists who have torn down its risque poster, led a crackdown on bars in Mumbai and even advocated an informal curfew for women.
First, a few words about the movie's title.
Jism means "body" in Hindi. Director Pooja Bhatt insists there was no double entendre intended.
But the title, coupled with the oeuvre of the film's leading lady, set off alarm bells at Apple, Google and YouTube.
Apple rejected the filmmakers' request to list "Jism 2" - a sequel to the 2003 film "Jism" - on its Movie Talkies app.
"They wrote to us saying I'm sorry it's a rude word, this is porn," Bhatt said. "We said no it's not, it's a legitimate Hindi film and the word j-i-s-m actually means body."
Google ultimately allowed the filmmakers to tag their ads with "jism" and "Sunny Leone," and YouTube allowed the promotional videos, said Alnoor Merchant, head of digital marketing for the film. Apple, though, is insisting the filmmakers either remove the promotional photos of Leone or restrict the content with an adult rating, he said.
The film has already caused a minor stir in Mumbai, where filmmakers had to remove posters featuring a glowing image a woman's arched naked body draped in a wet white sheet after a local politician complained.
"You'll always have these two polarities," said Mahesh Bhatt, Pooja's father and the screenwriter for "Jism 2." ''Pretending to police the moral values of a society is the easiest way for politicians to earn brownie points."
Leone, born in Canada to Indian immigrants, said she thought she would be run out of town when she appeared on the Indian reality television show Bigg Boss last year. "I didn't think the Indian public would actually like me," she said. "I've done everything that I could do wrong in the Indian culture."
Instead, Mahesh Bhatt - a famously outspoken Bollywood provocateur - offered her the lead in "Jism 2" on live television.
"The young generation of people are ready to see somebody like me on TV, obviously, or I wouldn't be here," Leone said.
For decades, Indian cinematic sexuality was a marvel of indirection. There were swelling songs, innervating rain storms, and jiggly dances, but no onscreen kissing.
The tides began to turn in 1996 with a long, sultry kiss in "Raja Hindustani" ("Indian King"). Today, Bollywood films are bursting with smooches. Pooja Bhatt's cousin, the actor Emraan Hashmi, is known as "the kissing king."
With Bollywood increasingly focused on the more liberal Indian diaspora and upwardly mobile urbanites, traditional audiences have turned to regional language cinema, said Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay, a lecturer in cultural studies at the University of London.
Leone is not the only Indian woman to profit from the shifting norms. In November, Sherlyn Chopra, a minor Bollywood actress, will be the first Indian featured in Playboy magazine, according to a tweet by Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Though Playboy is banned in India, the media frenzy has elevated her from bit player to bombshell.
As the traditional divide between the good Indian woman in a sari and the bad, sexually available Western woman in jeans breaks down, it is fueling a backlash.
Police in Mumbai, perhaps India's most cosmopolitan city, have been rounding up young women at bars in a morals campaign led by a hockey-stick wielding cop. The crackdown has used a long-ignored law that requires anyone consuming alcohol to have a government permit. Several women wearing revealing Western clothes were detained and accused of being prostitutes.
In March, police in a New Delhi suburb suggested women be home by 8pm for their own protection, after a woman was gang-raped on the way home from work in a bar.
"There is a strong backlash against increasing economic freedom - against a certain kind of Indian woman who likes to wear what she pleases and eat and drink out at restaurants and pubs because she can now afford to," said Nandini Ramnath, film correspondent for Mint newspaper. "The sad thing is that women like Sherlyn Chopra are not blazing any feminist trail. They are reinforcing a notion that women are objects. They increase anxiety among the self-appointed moral guardians."
Mr Mukhopadhyay says the backlash shows "the reaction of the have-nots, their grievances, their anger."
"There is a small upper class, the so called creamy layer, who can enjoy the benefits of Western media and lifestyle," he said. "The rest can't."
Even the filmmakers seem to suffer some ambivalence about their star. The silent presence of someone's old-fashioned parents lurked in the great ballroom where they unveiled the film to the press last week.
Bhatt and her father offered reassurances that they are not trying to sneakily expose India's children to dirty pictures and that the sex scenes will make no one cringe. At heart, they say, the film is an old fashioned love story.
Why back away from the sexiness they claim to embrace?
Pooja Bhatt said she wants to get her movie into theaters without trouble and will continue to fight to make "fiercely sensual" films for adult Indian audiences.
"Look at the population of the country," Bhatt said. "Someone is having sex."

Nick Offerman May Just Have The Best Headshot EverWatch ‘Jism 2’ only for erotic Sunny Leone
Movie: Jism 2
Cast: Randeep Hooda, Arunoday Singh, Sunny Leone
Director: Pooja Bhatt
Jagran Rating: (Disappointing) Finally the wait is over! As the much awaited erotic thriller Jism 2 starring porn star Sunny Leone hit the silver screen on Friday. Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2 is the sequel to the 2003 film Jism, which starred John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Touted as one of the most bold movies, Jism 2 has already raised eyebrows with its raunchy trailer and melodious songs.
‘Jism 2’ starts with Izna(Sunny Leone), a porn star, narrating her story lying on her deathbed. The story revolves around Izna who is cheated and abandoned by his boyfriend Kabir (Randeep Hooda). Here comes Ayan, (Arunoday Singh), officer of some secret Indian intelligence agency, who hires Izna to sneak crucial data from an ex-officer turned terrorist Kabir. He convinces her to work for the country and requests her to go after Kabir once again. Izna agrees and together, they devise a plan to trap Kabir.
They both fly to Sri Lanka where Kabir lives disguised as a musician. Through a series of well planned encounters, Izna makes a place for herself in Kabir’s life again. Though suspicious Kabir tries to check her out, 
but finding nothing, he falls completely for her and lets passion, lust take over his mind. While Izna is using all her sultry allures to woo Kabir, Ayan realizes his love for the porn star. From here the story picks up pace as betrayal, suspicion and jealousy come into the story.
but finding nothing, he falls completely for her and lets passion, lust take over his mind. While Izna is using all her sultry allures to woo Kabir, Ayan realizes his love for the porn star. From here the story picks up pace as betrayal, suspicion and jealousy come into the story. Thumbs Up:
All three of the leading stars really complement to the movie name ‘Jism 2’. Chiseled Hooda and Singh will obviously titillate female fantasy. Though, Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda fit well into their respective characters, real winner is Randeep for portraying such an intense and passionate role with élan.
The main highlight of this film Sunny Leone looks fresh, beautiful and erotic. Adding to this, she surprises the viewers with her amazing grace. Despite her dubbed dialogues, it shows that she has put an effort in her debut Hindi film. The passionate love making scenes of Sunny and Hooda are true scorcher; it can easily make you sweat.
Director Pooja Bhatt should be given credit of filming intimate scenes with effectiveness without adding vulgarity.
Picturesque locales of Sri Lanka look amazing on camera. Needless to say, like other Bhatt films Jism 2 songs are already chart toppers.
Thumbs Down:
Sunny Leone can’t act. Sometimes she is wooden, has no capability to emote and looks ridiculous when she tries to cry. Arunodoy tries to act but throughout the film he seems to be confused where to cry and where to shout.
The ‘story’ is terribly poor with weak narratives and clichéd dialogues.
Don’t get fooled with the much touted sex and erotic scenes. Lovemaking scenes are sometimes less intense and they are too brief to make an impact. Many of the scenes are predictable, clichéd and yawn inducing.
Pooja Bhatt fails miserably as a director. This movie fails to make an impact on the audiences.
Having not been left with other options, you can watch ‘Jism 2’ only for the bikini clad, erotic Sunny Leone !

The Naked World of Spencer Tunick
For 20 years now, New York-based photographer Spencer Tunick has been creating human art installations all over the world, calling together volunteers by the hundreds or thousands, asking them to remove their clothes, and photographing them in massive groups. His philosophy is that “individuals en masse, without their clothing, grouped together, metamorphose into a new shape.” He aims to create an architecture of flesh, where the masses of human bodies blend with the landscape, or juxtapose with architecture. Collected here are images from several of his installations as they were being composed. Warning: The following photos all depict naked human bodies, and are not screened out. The nudity is central to Tunick’s art. [33 photos]

Early in his career, Nick Offerman was told that he was going to be typecast in a very specific field of rolls: "plumbers and mechanics and bus drivers and farmers." He was understandably upset, so he did what any normal person would do:My response to that was to get this three-quarter headshot—like, knees to head—with this huge foam latex cock about the size of my forearm and fist that I’d made for a play. I got a headshot taken with this thing hanging out of my fly and just looking defiantly at the camera. I sent it to everybody in town. [Laughs.] That was my response to being told I was gonna be playing bus drivers: “Oh yeah? Have you seen my dick?” And wonderfully, two people in town got it and thought it was really funny, and they put me in plays in their theaters.(From the AV Club interview, read the whole thing here.)
I’m gonna go see if I can find this photograph. One of the good things is, I’m super-young. I’m like 22 or 23 in this photo. I’ll be interested to get [my publicist’s] opinion on publishing a photo of me with a huge cock sticking out of my pants, but I believe I’m all for it.
Are you ready for this?
Are you sure?
Positive?
Here it is, in all its glory:

Oron Cyberlocker Disappears, Filehost Reportedly Relocating
Earlier this month when researching file-hosting company Oron.com, something unusual became apparent to us here at TorrentFreak.Oron could not be found via any Google searches, which of course led to the question of whether the site was being censored.
Interestingly it was, but not by Google. Oron had censored itself by blocking the search engine from indexing its site.
But in addition to this self-imposed search blackout, during the last 24 hours finding Oron has progressed from mildly tricky to plain impossible.
Without any warning Oron has completely disappeared from the Internet.
The site carries no message and the domains don’t work, but apparently Oron will return at some point after it has completed some major maintenance.
“At this time we are in the process of moving Oron.com to another hosting provider,” an email obtained by TorrentFreak reads.
“As soon as we finish this process we will post a notification on our site. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused you.”
Oron has been under increasing pressure recently, particularly due to a lawsuit brought by adult movie studio Liberty Media.
In response to that suit the court froze Oron’s assets and then denied them access to funds to pay LeaseWeb, their host at the time. Whether LeaseWeb have been paid or not remains unclear but it seems almost certain that Oron are now heading for a new home.
TorrentFreak has received information from two different sources who both claim to know why Oron has chosen to move its infrastructure. As yet we’ve been unable to back up the claims – we’ll report back when we can.
