Portman nude scenes surface on net

You dreamt that this day would come. The rumor mill offered it up only to snatch it right back so cruelly last summer. But now they’re back — those Natalie Portman nude scene rumors, that is. This time, with clips!!
Way back in July, rumors swirled that Portman’s upcoming period piece, Goya’s Ghosts, would feature the actress performing nude scenes. Publicists quickly deflated the speculation (and hopes of many, many fanboys) with the explanation that while yes, there are nude scenes, said shots would be performed by a body double.
Now thanks to Egotastic, you can be the judge. In three clips from the film, it very much appears that Portman is sans clothing and sans body double — but shot tastefully, mind you, without revealing too much.
The clips are from some very disturbing torture scenes in which Portman’s character is interrogated by a sinister Javier Bardem. Directed by Milos Forman, Goya’s Ghost chronicles a scandal surrounding artist Francisco Goya (Stellan Skarsgard) whose muse (Portman) is accused of heresy and imprisoned by a Spanish Inquisitor (Bardem).
The film has already been released in Europe and nominated for three Goya awards (for Best Special Effects, Make-up and Hair, and Costume Design).
It may be safe to assume that the three clips from may not be available for much longer. So if you Portmanites out there are curious, check out the clips soon — the film is set to be distributed by IDP/Samuel Goldwyn films with a tentative Summer 2007 date.

The movie looks good and hopefully it is better than Dead Man’s Chest. See for yourself, sorry but the quality of the video isn’t that great.

More news on The Dark Knight

We’re getting some conflicting reports on this one, but if it’s got something to do with the Batman Begins sequel, I know it’s something worth sharing. Fans of the comic book may be happy to learn that a character called “Boss Maroni” may play a major role in Bat’s next adventure.
Old-school bat-fans will remember that Boss Maroni is a gangster who threw acid in the face of Gotham City District Attorney Harvey Dent, thereby creating a villain known as Two-Face. And since we already know that Aaron Eckhart has been cast as Dent, it only makes sense that the character’s origin story would remain intact.
According to a pair of sources, the character might be played be either James Gandolfini or Alan Dale … or maybe someone else. Nobody knows for sure at this point. But, as always, stuff like this is great fun to speculate about. Director Christopher Nolan reportedly wants to make Maroni’s role a little larger, which would lead one to believe that an actor as big as, say, James Gandolfini would land the role. More news as we get it.

The Hollywood mugshot

Hollywood stars are always looked upon as glamorous, larger than life icons, but even these celluloid Gods have a dark side. Every time the photographers and reporters follow celebrities they always claim that they are just like us. Well this is a post to support that and show that underneath every glossed up celebrity is a rather odd-looking person.
Here is a look at some of the funniest looking celebrity mugshots because even the rich and famous aren’t above the law.

Hugh Grant
Mr. Grant was arrested in June of 1995. He was caught in a pleasurable act with a hooker, Divine Brown.

Rip Torn
He was arrested in Westchester, New York in 2006 for drunk driving. The police discovered this after he crashed his 1995 Chevy Cavalier into a tractor-trailer trying make a turn.

Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey was busted for possession of marijuana in 1999 at a residence in Austin, TX. The surprise came when the police arrived to find the Failure to Launch star playing bongos in his birthday suit.

Vince Vaughn
The star of The Break-Up and Wedding Crashers was arrested for fighting in public outside a North Carolina bar in 2001.

Nick Nolte
Mr. Nolte was arrested by the California Highway patrol for driving under the influence of alcohol.

Mel Gibson
The Passion of the Christ director was arrested for driving under the influence near his Malibu estate. The outrage came when Gibson slung racial slurs at his arresting officers, proving that maybe the anti-semitic feel of his film might have been a little personal.

Carmen Electra
Tara Patrick (her real name) was arrested for battering her husband, former NBA star Dennis Rodman, but the charges were dropped.

Tracey Gold
Another star arrested for drunk driving, the former star of TV’s Growing Pains drove her car off into a highway embankment.

See celebrities are just like us, once you take away their stylists and all available make-up they do look much different than some bums right off the street. This post should reassure all of us that celebrities take lots of work to attain their God-like appearances.

Hurt So Good: Sleepwalkers

Have you ever seen a movie and just got sheer enjoyment from despite the fact it is a steaming pile of crap? Or even some cases it is because of this the movie is more enjoyable. This is a new feature showcasing a few of these ridiculed gems. There are the movies most wouldn’t admit they like, but when they come basic cable you can’t help but watch the mess. A bad movie (there is a difference between a bad and horrible movie) is essential the same as watching a car wreck. Everyone knows that they shouldn’t but it is just so hard to turn away.

Sleepwalers
Released: 10th of April 1992
imdb user rating: 4.3 (out of 10)
The Tomatometer: a meager 18 percent.
Tagline: They feast on your fear – and it’s dinner time.
This is a movie I saw as a child and liked, but even now at 23 I still chuckle with enjoyment when I see Sleepwalkers. A mother and her son move into a quite town and immediate he draws the attention of a pretty little thing in class. On the outside the family appears normal but beneath the surface lies something these town folk have never seen before. He brings her to a grave yard to fool around but instead of climaxing he tries to drain her life force, believe me I know how stupid this sounds, the boy and his mother are sort of like vampire who have to feast on others’ lives. She manages to survive thanks to a stray cat, because here’s the kicker cats can kill them. The probably 8-pound stray cat leaves the teenager near death and now it is up to mother to punish the slutty teen. The film culminates with all the stray cats in the neighborhood attacking and eventually killing the mother. The film is not great but it is so out-there it is a hoot to watch.
