Time For Some Completely Gratuitous Photos Of Hot Actresses Who Look Like Zombies

Seth — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:45:40 EDT

Inspired perhaps by this Call to the Bullpen of a particularly bloodless-looking Diablo Cody, and an accidentally stumbled upon image of the astonishingly well-stacked Mad Men star Christina Hendricks looking like she's about to crack open Peggy's skull and help herself to a handful of copywriter brains, we thought we'd collect some other photos of comely, zombie-like actresses for your Halloween-season titillation. There's more undead goodness after the jump!

Serial Manson-fucker Evan Rachel Wood.

Breakout Addams and occasional Black Snake Moaner, Christina Ricci.

Happening torch singer, Zooey Deschanel.

Firestarting Hellboy sidekick and Kath & Kim casualty, Selma Blair.

Going for the Bronze: Though NBC's Olympic...

Kyle Buchanan — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:00:00 EDT

Going for the Bronze: Though NBC's Olympic coverage provided the network with television's most watched event anywhere, ever, in the history of the universe, that massive audience hasn't translated into major spikes of interest for NBC's fall shows like Kath & Kim and My Own Worst Enemy. The network spent 65% of its promo time on returning shows (like Lipstick Jungle Lipstick Jungle Lipstick Jungle) but failed to perk awareness for anything but the 80's retread Knight Rider. Still, before NBC shoehorns Michael Phelps into Selma Blair's thong, they've got this bit of recent history to add perspective: the Athens Olympics were used to tout quickly flushed shows like Joey and LAX. Perhaps Kath & Kim will stand on its own merits — that is, as long as they didn't advertise it during the rebellion-inducing beach volleyball marathon. [Variety]

Uncomfortably Close With Selma Blair

While leaving a taping of a morning talk show, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army star Selma Blair had her personal space invaded by a pesky photog. The photog thought he had missed "the shot" and decided to shove his camera into Blair's SUV and snapped away. Blair who was signing autographs for fans asked if the guy could back up just a tad, but the photog wasn't sure that he got the shot yet. Blair swiftly assured the man that he got the shot and that he would get an even better shot if he scooted back a bit more.

Whither Our Superheroines? An Outraged Culture Demands To Know

STV — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:40:00 EDT

In all the drama surrounding Edward Norton's Hulk trouble and Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr.'s gloriously checkered past, we've overlooked one of the more conspicuous problems afflicting this summer's superhero glut. To wit: Where are all the women? Are there any comics featuring female heroes whom some studio will take a chance shepherding to the screen? At least one commentator shares our concern at Vulture, and the prognosis isn't looking good:

Historically, in superhero movies, the only way for an actress to get a piece of the action is to be a piece of action. While all these female characters will certainly be smart, capable women, their primary function will still be as the hero's love interest. These perilous roles virtually guarantee that no amount of brains or pluck will be enough for a damsel to save herself from distress; her endangerment serves to ratchet up the tension of the film, which is always nicely resolved with the tender coda of her rescue. ... What does it take to get some superequal rights up in here?

The author does cite the presence of Selma Blair as the "pyrokinetic" romantic interest in Guillermo del Toro's upcoming Hellboy II — essentially the exception that proves the Hollywood rule. Meanwhile, Film Experience proprietor Nathaniel Rogers spent the weekend at New York's Comic-Con, recoiling from the near-second-class citizenry afforded icons like Supergirl and Batgirl while a new Jenna Jameson comic book sold like mad elsewhere in the building. Yes, we know that Elektra and Catwoman tanked, but Halle Berry's folly is no good reason for the long-awaited Wonder Woman movie to eternally inhabit Development Hell — at least not when Marvel will spend $300 million making The Incredible Hulk twice before throwing a quarter of that into spinning off Ellen Page's Kitty Pryde character from X-Men. We're just saying, boys.

Bed-Hopping Selma Blair Likes 'Em Young, Hot and Poor

Molly Friedman — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:49:36 EST

We were somewhat pleased when Selma Blair started a relationship with that guy Britney Spears joined the mile-high club with in her Toxic video. He had that whole Jason Lewis-y, empty-headed thing going on that seemed just the right antidote to her ex, shaved-head rocker Ahmet Zappa. But according to the NY Daily News, Selma's found a new not-so-bright bulb to hook up with: a waiter. And straight out of an episode of guilty pleasure Cheaters (or the new BJ-infested Big Brother), boyfriend Matt Felker recently walked in on the illicit couple during a fairly intimate lap-sitting session. Says the News' source:

"He found her sitting on the guy's lap. It was like a Lifetime movie moment - the only thing missing was Meredith Baxter Birney."

But it seems this new bout of Gotcha! is just another incident in the Selma Cheating story. Seems the waitress and the Best Kissing actress have been sitting on each other's laps since Fashion Week, when Felker discovered they were staying in the same hotel suite at the Mercer in New York. But honestly, with her new pixie haircut, her perfect little gymnast bod, and her ability to get photographed at parties, can't the "model/actor" best known for appearing the "Stacey's Mom" video deal with a little action on the side? He may not be able to live with her, but he certainly can't get any gigs without her.

BLAIR SWITCH PROJECT ENDS BADLY [Gatecrasher]

And Then Ashley And Selma Are All, "Lindsay's SOOO A Cokehead!"

Seth — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 14:40:01 EST

In LA, there are certain pushy pedestrian no-fly zones where celebrities can feel relaxed, knowing that they can luxuriate in their heightened level of existence without being thrown out of the fantasy with autograph or picture requests. The Chateau Marmont is a perfect example. Luckily for us, however, some of you could care less about bursting their protective bubbles:

i was having dinner @ The chateau marmont thursday evening across from Ashley Olsen, selma blair and 2 of their girlfriends... they left the same time we did so we decided to walk out behind them so we could ask for a pic @ the valet outside... before heading down stairs ashley stopped at a magazine stand with selma and picked up the vanity fair with lindsey lohan on the cover. ashley and selma cracked some "cokehead" jokes, giggled, and then went outside. when we asked ashley for a pic, she said yes, and selma took it... the funniest thing is that we didnt recognize selma, and she seemed REALLY offended when SHE had to take the pic! hahaha...

No one should be too surprised by this beautiful scene from Hollywood's high school cafeteria, with two skinny Mean Girls (yeah, it needed to be said) picking the salad out of their teeth with the bones of a third. We'd love to see some retaliatory weave-yanking the next time they encounter each other at Privilege or Mood, but the most we're likely to get is some offended glares volleyed back and forth across VIP booths as a That 70s Show cast member hoots his "No she did-int!" approval.
