Amanda Bynes Kicks Off 2013 By Sharing A Photo Of Her 2012 Boobs


Guess she’s not the man after all! All That alum Amanda Bynes ended 2012 by sharing a New Year’s Eve photo of her boobs on Instagram.  Even though we’re still in the fetal stages of the new year, I think it’s safe to say that this will definitely make the annual New York Times 1000 Best Almost Nip Slip Shots of 2013ish list.

amanda bynes boobsAfter spending 2012  participating in completely normal and sane activities that did not result in her getting her license taken away, Amanda Bynes made it clear last night that she’s setting a new tone for 2013. A tone that makes me think that I may have named her “The Meryl Streep of her Generation” a little too early. After all, Meryl always goes with a more understated sepia tone when sharing photos of her boobs.
While many people will quickly jump to the conclusion that this New Year’s Eve photo proves Amanda Bynes will continue to make questionable choices in the coming year, I immediately came to the conclusion that all was right in the world.
After taking a week-long vacation from stalking celebrities 24/7, I feared I would return to a world that no longer appreciated celebrity nudity, unnecessary vulgarity and faux Twitter accounts for celebrity children who aren’t even born yet. I worried that my first 2013 essay would be something horrid, like “500 Celebrities Who Only Make Good Decisions,” or worse, “Studies Say Men No Longer Googling ‘Naked Celebrity Photos’ On the Internet.”
However thanks to Amanda Bynes’ boobs, I can now rest assured that everything’s going to be okay. The Internet will continue to be a place of wonder and delight and TLC levels of morality.
Happy New Year!

* Ms. Bynes is finally coming to her senses and hopefully get back on the game with all new sexy persona. Flaunt what God bestowed upon you and do it before it starts to sag. Amanda will be 27 this year. Nudity should be least of her concern and you know what - like so many child-stars - Amanda will get naked. It's not question of if but when.
Amanda not only was suffering from some kind of late teen angst (delayed because of a frenzied celebrity career), she was also double dosing on the meds and bordering on alcohol addiction. But she reportedly received treatment (psychological?) in New York.
It's believed many of Amanda problems arose from acquiring wealth at such a young age and so swiftly. She was okay and even accepted the fame and glitz but wasn't ready to cope with the responsibility that comes with it.
It also led to friction between Amanda and her dad. Amanda understandably was enjoying her stardom until it came crashing down after What I Like About You comes to an end. At 20, Amanda was ready to move on to the big screen but at the same time she wasn't really prepared for it. It always hard for TV-stars to transition to movies. One minute you're the star of a show, the next you're auditioning for a role (unfamilliarity
with burdensome auditions plays a big part in why many TV-performers opt to return to comforts of small medium
). Initially everyone wanted to work with Amanda - potentially PG-flicks goldmine but Amanda wanted to enjoy her status as a very rich young woman and with time to spare. Idle hands are the devil's workshop and in case of celebs it usually denotes drugs, booze and sex. Amanda thought she can act in a flick or two in a year and have rest of the time for herself. She created her own fashion line which never really took off. It was in late 2007 everything starts to unravel for the actress in a major way. Amanda is a sweet, nice and trusting person. So how could someone break her heart in such a callous manner? That's
what her boyfriend did when she caught him - allegedly - bonking an aspiring actress at his pad. It crushed her completely and left her emotionally empty. Her antidote for a broken heart? Ominously it was to party like it was end of the world. 

Amanda actually talked about reevaluating her social time in an interview back in 2008.
 “I used to be known as the girl who was anti the club scene,” she says. “But I’m finding a balance. I can have a drink and dance if I want. You have to go out to meet people…and guys. I’m in that phase where I just want to have fun!
Amanda's tendency to party the night away and keeping on partying in her head the next morning was soon interfering with her proper job as an actress. Flunking and missing out on auditions. Forgetting to read scripts sent to her for consideration. Rejecting those deemed to risque for her. Acting inappropriately on movie set. After the failure of 18-millions budgeted Sydney White, Amanda unwisely took a long sabbatical from any serious work. Instead she could be found at
favorite celebrity hangouts - drunk and drunker. It was rumored Amanda actually auditioned for the role of female lead Olive in Easy A only to be replaced by rising talent Emma Stone. Amanda was pissed but her agent fought for her and got her the religious nutbag Marianne. It didn't stop Amanda from feeling rejected for a nobody. Despite the stupendous success of the comedy, Amanda felt left-out and underappreciated which in turn intensified her dependency issues.
In many ways Amanda is from old school of female actors. Modern artists tends to be very much involved in pre-and-post productions stage. Amanda never really bothered with that stuff. So was it supreme frustration with the industry that led to retiring from acting back in 2010? Or something much more simpler to explain. The biz was slowly washing it hands off Amanda in typical ruthless approach it has cultivated over the years. To get rid of actors unwilling to compromise, all pigheadedness or refusing to play the game like a pro. Worse, acting all diva-like when you haven't earned the right to act like one.
Amanda's retirement shocked everyone especially her parents. Dad attempts to intervene was rebuffed with now Amanda's favorite phrase and a form of defence mechanism : 'I'm a retired multi-millionaire and I can do any shit I want to do'.
The thing is Amanda status as millionaire is long gone (and I bet her accountant/financial advisor must have warned her about it). She is discovering that money isn't forever, doesn't grow on trees and Daddy ain't so generous anymore.
To spend money like crazy, you must first work like a dog to earn it. Or go the route of Lindsay Lohan who works for a flat rate on any project that comes her way including racy roles.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone Amanda chose the sexy route. Hollywood will take heed; offer a helping hand as long as Amanda keep it together or at least during the period of film-shooting. It's a good deal for anyone but we're talking about Amanda here. Unpredictable and kookiness enclosed in a Scotch bottle.

Five actors set to make a splash at Sundance 2013
Daniel Radcliffe: From the family-rated “Harry Potter” series to the crime movie “Kill Your Darlings”.
PARK CITY, Utah, Jan 2 — The 2013 edition of the Sundance film festival will be held in Utah from January 17 to 27. Here’s a selection of actors looking to impress and move the indie movie crowds.

Daniel Radcliffe
After “The Woman in Black”, the English lad continues to stray away from the “Harry Potter” saga with “Kill Your Darlings”, which promises to shed new light on a murder case that tarnished the early years of the Beat Generation in the 1940s.
Radcliffe will play poet Allen Ginsberg opposite Elizabeth Olsen. John Krokidas directs the crime movie, which also stars Dane DeHaan, Ben Foster and Michael C. Hall.

Kaya Scodelario


The 20-year-old British actress will be chasing glory on the strength of her performance in “Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes”. After “Wuthering Heights”, she earned the title role in the indie drama directed by Francesca Gregorini and co-starring Jessica Biel and Alfred Molina. The drama centres on a girl who becomes fascinated with her new neighbour because of her striking resemblence to her deceased mother. The troubled youth agrees to babysit for her neighbour, entering her strange world in the process.

Juno Temple


English actors have become a hot commodity at Sundance. Joining the fray under the Union Jack, Juno Temple will try to cement her status as the indie darling of the day with the screening of Jill Soloway’s dark comedy “Afternoon Delight”. After her recent performances in “Kaboom”, “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Killer Joe”, Temple plays a stripper who accepts a live-in nanny position from a bored LA housewife looking for entertainment.

Rooney Mara
The star of “Millennium” is making a comeback in “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”. In this criminal drama directed by David Lowery, she plays the wife of a prisoner who breaks out of jail to see her and the daughter he never met. Casey Affleck and Ben Foster also play in the film, which will have a Bonnie and Clyde element to it.

Sarah Polley


The Canadian actress and filmmaker Sara Polley (“Take This Waltz”) will present “Stories We Tell” in the non-competitive Spotlight section. The documentary, which was previously screened in Toronto and Venice, turns the cameras on the Polley family through the lens of its members, and brings the notion of witness accounts into question. —

Handout photo from Parade's End. (Nick Briggs)What can we expect on TV in 2013? Lots of darkness

Asking the TV critic to predict the new year is risky. We know the players, know their strengths and flaws, but so much is yet to be determined, so much is out of the hands of the players and the predictors.

In television, an auteur’s show on premium cable might sink in self-indulgence. A strong new network show might get an awful time slot and be defeated by a competing series, same time, different network.

Mind you, some patterns are clearly emerging, even as we look at mere lists of shows, the synopses, and their creators and stars. If we corral cable and network content together, what we see coming is a ton of toxic variations on the American nightmare of guns, killing and craziness.

Banshee, from the HBO-owned Cinemax (starts Jan. 11, HBO Canada) is set in a hallucinatory hell of corruption, crime, guns, death and sex. The fact that its producer is Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, True Blood) gave it advance notoriety, and it does deliver. It stars Antony Starr as Lucas Hood, an ex-con who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee, Pa. Naturally, he becomes the king of the local criminals, while enemies from his distant past move in on him (and his ex, now a local married mom, played by former Bond girl Ivana Milicevic). “How can one town have so many scumbags?” is the line to remember from the first episode. Everything nasty happens in a heightened setting that is by turns cartoonish and menacingly real.

The new, as-yet-unnamed Phil Spector biopic (HBO, date TBA) is obviously a big deal. David Mamet wrote it and Al Pacino stars as Spector, the legendary music producer and songwriter who was convicted of murder in 2009. It is mainly about that murder and the trial, and Spector’s relationship with his lawyer, played by Helen Mirren.

Bates Motel (A-and-E, date TBA) is promoted as both a prequel to the events in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho and a “reimagining” of the characters. Certainly it’s about the young Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) and his relationship with his mom (Vera Farmiga, adding movie-star power to the series). At the same time, it appears to be set in a contemporary small town, not the era just before the story told in Psycho. What’s available to see in advance is nicely creepy. All one has to hear is Norman saying “I love you, Mom” for the shivers to start.

Behind the Candelabra (HBO, date TBA) promises to be a blunt, adults-only treatment of the tempestuous relationship between Liberace (Michael Douglas) and his much younger lover, Scott Thorson (Matt Damon). Directed by Steven Soderbergh, it has compelled Damon to warn Liberace fans that the production will surely shock then.

Parade’s End (HBO, date TBA) is an HBO/BBC production derived from the quartet of novels by Ford Madox Ford. A bittersweet, sometimes achingly painful story, it’s really about a love triangle. A conservative English aristocrat (Benedict Cumberbatch, best known as Holmes on PBS’s Sherlock) is torn between his brittle wife and a young suffragette.
* I can't guarantee anything at this time but HBO airing should have lengthier nudity from Rebecca Hall and Adelaide Clemens including the butchered sex scene with Benedict.

Da Vinci’s Demons (Starz, a Canadian channel TBA, spring 2013) is “the secret history of Leonardo da Vinci’s tantalizing life.” We’re told as well that da Vinci “throws himself into his genius and emerges as an unstoppable force that lifts an entire era out of darkness and propels it into light.” The show comes from David S. Goyer, co-writer of the Dark Knight Rises trilogy. Da Vinci the superhero is played by English actor Tom Riley and the series looks like The Borgias with less sex and more mysticism. Note that in its short life, Starz has already given us the great Boss and the very good Magic City series.
Among returning series, Girls starts its second season Jan. 13 (HBO Canada). Season 2 of HBO’s Enlightened – starring Laura Dern in her Golden Globe-winning role as a corporate exec who breaks down, only to become a guru of goodness – returns the same night.

NEW AND NOTABLE ON NETWORKS

The Following (Jan. 21, 9 p.m. Fox and CTV) is the hottest of the hot midseason series. Created by Kevin Williamson (The Scream movies, Dawson’s Creek) it also has the potential to be the most controversial. A grim, gory psychological thriller, it stars Kevin Bacon as a deeply damaged ex-FBI agent in a battle of wills with a charismatic serial killer (James Purefoy) who, it turns out, has legions of disciples who follow his orders. For network TV, it’s unusually disturbing, graphic and bleak. Thematically, it’s linked to Banshee and Bates Motel as part of an operatic obsession with violence and a barbarous undertow in U.S. culture.

Do No Harm (Jan. 31, NBC) is a twist on the Jekyll-and-Hyde story. The main character, a neurosurgeon named Jason Cole (Steven Pasquale) suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and the drug that suppresses his dark side is wearing off. His alter ego, Ian, is a nasty, unrepentant jerk. The theme of underlying, violent craziness continues here.

Hannibal (NBC, date TBA) goes back to Thomas Harris’s novels about serial killer Hannibal Lecter (played here by Mads Mikkelsen) to finesse the drama of the killer’s mind and methods. An FBI criminal profiler (Hugh Dancy) feels he can learn from Lecter, who is also screwing with the mind of a therapist (Gillian Anderson from X-Files). Thematically: ditto.

Cracked (Jan. 8, CBC) stars David Sutcliffe (Gilmore Girls, Private Practice) as Detective Aidan Black, a tough Toronto cop dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, often poorly, while assigned to a unit dealing mainly with mental illnesses. He’s got a psychiatrist/cop (Stefanie von Pfetten) as a partner. On the early evidence, Cracked is so deeply conventional and well-meaning, its only perversity is its blandness.

Motive (Feb. 3, CTV) is the other Canadian crime drama, but this one has buzz. Set in Vancouver, it promises a twist on the conventional procedural, with the viewer knowing way more than the characters. The lead cop – described by CTV as “a feisty female Vancouver homicide detective” – is played by Kristin Lehman.

Sarah Lian wants to Kung Fu Fight her way to stardom

Sarah Lian first shot to fame as the local Internet Ah Moi in the 2010 MyEG commercial.

The 29-year-old then went international, playing a sexy shopaholic (in the Hong Kong produced comedy Mister French Taste) and an edgy-looking hacker (in US online crime drama Cybergeddon), this year.

Now, Sarah Lian has set her sights on becoming an action star.

In an interview with the Daily Chilli, the doe-eyed Malaysian actress, now based in Vancouver, Canada, revealed an interest in equipping herself with martial arts skills to pursue action roles.

"Kung Fu is a must. Naturally, for many of the roles that I auditioned for in Canada, one question that always comes up is 'Do you do martial arts?' As an Asian, you have to sort of expect that because of people like Bruce Lee and Michelle Yeoh," she said.

But it's not just the moves that matter, said the Taiping-born, Vancouver-bred beauty.

"It's more of the ability to move a certain way, to understand what the choreographer and set coordinator want you to do. It's much more important than how high you can kick or how strong you are," she explained.

It helps that she had done taekwondo before.

"There are some parts of me that are coordinated [laughs]. And I enjoy working out. Still, it comes as a bit of a challenge. "I did some basic martial arts training in Toronto for a couple of months. Then I started filming and my schedule got kind of crazy. So I had to stop. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it again in Malaysia. I heard the wushu team here is amazing," said Sarah, who named Indonesian crime thriller The Raid: Redemption as her favourite actioner.

To refresh your memory, the Malaysian darling left Malaysia in March 2011 to pursue bigger acting opportunities in Canada. After a year of working and trying to land a big break, she's now temporarily back in Malaysia.

"After spending three years in Malaysia building up my career, I didn't know what to expect when I was in Canada."

"It's was a huge leap of faith, but with hard work-which involves eating humble pie, auditioning and competing with over 100 actors in Toronto-I slowly started gaining some ground and getting some jobs in TV shows and films."

"While I am recognised in Malaysia for my work, in Canada, I was competing with a few hundred actors for a role. The casting directors would look at your picture, see what you can do, and say, 'Thank you. Call you later.'"

"And you never get the call. You feel like you're one of those people who go, 'Am I ever going to be noticed?'"

"So I put even more work into auditions now than before when I didn't feel I needed to. It's not just the talent. You have to keep working at it. And because I've done that, casting directors remember me."

"They encourage my agent to send me to certain jobs. To have that kind of support from them is humbling. It's amazing and sometimes unfathomable," she said.

Her experiences as a popular host and actress in Malaysia certainly helped.

"It helped that I was not really a newbie. I knew how to work in front a camera, collaborating with others and playing my role well in a team," she said.

Well, how challenging is it for an Asian to work in a Western market?

"It can be. However, I'm happy to say that two of my four roles were cast not because I was Asian. The script never reads something like 'Asian girl walk into the room.' They just think I fit the bill," she said. Though she's based in Canada, Sarah is open to "working internationally."

"I speak predominantly English, Cantonese and a bit of Mandarin. I'm currently shooting a film in Hong Kong now and they've got a Beijing arm. We are in talks of doing future projects like Chinese films together. I'm really excited," she said.

She remained tight-lipped on her ongoing shooting in Hong Kong though, merely revealing that it's a Hollywood film produced by the folks behind American series The Walking Dead.

"I can't really talk about it, except that it's a horror film, one that might generate a bit of controversy when it comes out. I'm one of the main characters and the film will be released around October next year."

Right now, Sarah just wants to kick back and relax.

"I've spent a full year in Toronto. So while I'm back here, I mostly just enjoy the good food and meet up with my family and friends," she said.

Chances are, she's also going to knock on the doors of Hollywood soon.

"I've had producers pulling me aside and said they want to make some introductions in Los Angeles. So I might spend a few weeks in Los Angeles next year," she revealed.

Still, the thought of trying to make it in Tinseltown sounds "very daunting" to her.

"It's a huge market and everyone is an actor there. I would have to start there from scratch. So I would want to build my name first in Toronto, get a few more things under my belt, so that I would feel more comfortable going there," she concluded.

Sarah Random 25 Things
1. I get a hard on when I read design blog sites, esp product packaging.

2. I wanted to be a teacher when I was young but realized how shitty they got paid when Vancouver School Board Teachers Union were on strike in 1994 [and i was never taught how to swim...]

3. I take pride that I’m Malaysian and will say that before I say I’m Chinese.

4. Kate Moss is my favourite model despite her coke habit. She’s still rockin – tho I must admit the Asian Invasion has also included Mo Wandan and Du Juan on my list.

5. I always have visions of myself in my head having accidents and losing a leg or an arm, so I’m even more careful that things like that don’t happen.

6. I’m a super-photoshopper! I started at Adobe ver 4.0 and 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8,CS, CS1, CS2 and I still don’t know how to smooth the skin like the Mariah Carey posters. [but i know how to make my boobs bigger ]

7. I always meet my best friends within the first week of moving to a new city. MEL- Toronto, HAG/GUMP – KL.

8. I don’t have visions of my wedding when I daydream. I’m practical- like city hall practical.

9. I’m a sucker for Missoni and Diesel Ad Campaigns. It’s odd, but I have so many of their tearsheets in my Fashion file.

10. I hate doing my nails and toes, but its supposed to be important, so I have them done at a salon.

11. When I’m on dates, I hold out from kissing as long as I can cuz once that happens, it’s over.

12. I only hate 2 exes in my life. Thank God I live in a different country!

13. I’m a bit rough around the edges but with my boyfriend i’m the neediest, corniest person ever.

14. When I travel with my girlfriends, we shower together to save time.

15. I like my internet life better than I like my own life – for a while, lilmui had more glory than Sarah Lian.

16. Doing photoshoots in my own room with my own custom setting on my camera is helluva lot better than some of the photographers I’ve worked with.

17. I will pull the trigger on the next magazine that asks me why I decided to move to Malaysia – I think people are tired of hearing about the same story.

18. I like sleeping naked.

19. I slept on the same bed with a girl for 8 months. Ask Jomomma.

20. Johnny Knoxville called me up to hang out when he was in Vancouver.

21. I’m preventing myself from dating this year because the kind of dating I did last year was unnecessary.

22. My favourite t-shirt is a Navy Blue NIKE Shirt that I found from that thrift store on Main (or Fraser) and Kingsway when I was in Grade 4. I still have it with me.

23. I hate stuffed animals. I don’t think they’re cute… and u doing a stupid voice with a stuffed animal isn’t that much cuter either.

24. I like Noam Chomsky’s critical view on politics and America.

25. I think Bush was as close to the anti-Christ as I know and think that Americans were even more stupid to vote him (or stupid to NOT vote) for the second time, which is why I think Americans are kind of stupid. I despise American heroic movies where some random dude saves the world after a lame speech about how “we can do it” and he’s American.

* 29-years old Canadian Sarah Lian is another Asian actress-model caught between two worlds and minds about the direction and choices she needs to make in propelling her career on to the right path.
Basically a C-lister and at her age will remain one unless she willing to take risks and it seemed she did (nudity?) if I read the above interview in proper context.
Looking at her film resume shows Sarah is a strong-willed and flexible type of person. Struggling to make a name in a turgid but overcrowded Canadian showbiz, the pretty lass returned to her place of birth Malaysia to exploit the fascination Asians have for Westerners in any shape or sizes. But it appears after couple of years of middling through some telly ads and posing for mags, Sarah comes to realization the region is very much obsessed with Eurasian or Caucasian-looking celebs and she was better off in her homeland Canada. Give it a second shot.
This is where it gets mighty interesting. Sarah apparently dropped her nudity clause and actually auditioned for a role in much delayed and still delayed STARZ-produced Noir with new writers hired to nudge the project into production (but I don't see that happening anytime soon).
Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are the executive producers and they conducted auditions in Auckland back in late 2011 which Sarah attended to test-read for the role of Kirika.


Sarah in her own words:
imagebam.com
imagebam.com 

The casting requirement for Kirika:
"The actress playing the Asian character must be completely comfortable with nudity and sexual situations being portrayed onscreen. Full nudity will not be required, but she must agree to exposed breasts, buttocks and simulated sex/love scenes. The written material is of the highest quality, and neither the violence, sexual situations or nudity will be gratuitous nor pornographic. (Bear in mind the nudity/sexual situations of shows like Spartacus, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire)"
Noir follows two female assassins who team up to fight against a secret society. After discovering they’re mysteriously linked, the two, under the Noir moniker, have to work together until they get answers about why and how they are connected — or until one of them kills the other.
In the first episode according to the original script, Kirika runs around fully nude in assassin mode in a pretty lengthy scene.


More of Sarah here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here

 
Sarah also had a Model Mayhem account (under the name of lilmui) for years before deactivating it. It's more than likely she posed nude for either private collection or uncredited pictorials. Her Friends Tag includes far too many photographers who specialize in erotic/nude shoots. Maybe you guys have better luck in finding her nude pics than me.

* There is a miniscule chance that Dakota Fanning will be nude in upcoming Emma Thompson scripted Effie (2013). Dakota is playing the lead Effie Gray. The screenplay is heavily influenced by The Model Wife - The Passionate Lives Of Effie Gray, Ruskin And Millalis (Suzanne Fagence Cooper).
"Dakota Fanning and Tom Sturridge will play lovers in the Emma Thompson-penned film Effie. The movie tells the tale of Euphemia Gray‘s (Fanning) torrid marriage to famous critic John Ruskin, to be played by Greg Wise. Ruskin refused to consummate their relationship, claiming he was grossed out by Effie’s naked body (er, weirdo) and she eventually falls in love and marries Ruskin’s protege, painter John Everett Millais (Sturridge)."
There are couple of possible nude scenarios we can look forward to. Non-sexual nudity by Dakota (Effie) in bed as her husband Ruskin (Wise) refused to touch or look at her. A love scene between her and lover Sturridge as John Everett Millais.

Sexy Victorian Art World Film Does Not Break the Law: Sometimes a story is just too juicy... A federal judge has ruled that actress Emma Thompson can go ahead with her dramatization of the love triangle between Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais, art critic John Ruskin, and Euphemia Gray, who married Millais after annulling her notoriously unhappy marriage to Ruskin on grounds of non-consummation. Thompson's opus was previously held up by accusations that it bore similarities to two previous screenplays depicting this soapy episode of Victorian art history. A film starring Dakota Fanning and Robbie Coltrane based on Oscar winner Thompson's screenplay is expected to be released in 2013. [Courthouse News]

STARZ, ATLAS ENTERTAIMENT AND SONAR ENTERTAINMENT TO DEVELOP NEW SCRIPTED DRAMA FROM WILLIAM MONAHAN
FOR U.S. AND GLOBAL AUDIENCES


ATLAS ENTERTAINMENT MAKES FIRST VENTURE INTO TELEVISION WITH “CRIME”


Academy Award® Winning Screenwriter William Monahan Creates Series

LOS ANGELES, CA, JANUARY 3, 2012 – Atlas Entertainment is producing its first television series,
"Crime," in partnership with Henceforth Pictures for Starz and Sonar Entertainment.  Written by Academy Award® winning screenwriter, William Monahan (The Departed) “Crime” is a study of criminal enterprise and Scandal across 1960s Britain. The project was developed from a feature film treatment by Vanessa Sadler.  Regarded for its proven ability to produce both tentpole films and independent features, Atlas Entertainment will step into the television landscape with “Crime.”

The project in development is being executive produced by Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and William Green alongside Monahan, with Atlas’ Andy Horwitz and Henceforth Pictures’ Justine Suzanne Jones co-executive producing.   Starz and Sonar Entertainment are financing development and Sonar Entertainment has the option to distribute the show to markets around the world outside of Starz's pay television and home entertainment rights in the U.S.

.  Independent Talent’s Josh Varney was instrumental in arranging the deal with Monahan and setting the project into motion. Starz will assume all domestic pay television and home entertainment rights, including Canada, to the series.

“We’re thrilled that our first foray in television has us working with the incredibly talented William Monahan on this unique show, and we’re excited to be sharing it with audiences not only in the U.S. but around the world,” said Charles Roven.

“There’s very little more interesting to me than the Sixties in Britain,” said Monahan, “taken from Profumo to psychedelia, from the London criminal world to the worlds of art and fashion—all of which continually intersected. I know one thing: it’s very, very, funny.”

"Set in a time and place that continues to fascinate, ‘Crime’ is a story that easily cuts across borders and cultures,” commented Stewart Till, CEO, Sonar Entertainment. “William Monahan’s script comes alive with an immediacy and intimacy that audiences will embrace with unqualified enthusiasm.”

"We are excited to be working with William Monahan on one of his passion projects,” said Carmi Zlotnik, Managing Director of Starz Entertainment.  “’Crime’ is the kind of unique storytelling that elevates scripted television for audiences.”

A dramatist, director and novelist, William Monahan recently completed the screenplay for The Gambler for Martin Scorsese and producer Irwin Winkler at Paramount, and Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. He won an Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese, which earned four Oscars®, including Best Picture. Additionally, Monahan collected a Writers Guild of America Award and earned Golden Globe and BAFTA Award nominations for his work. His production company, Henceforth Pictures, has a number of feature and television projects in development, including a screen adaptation of his first novel, Light House, and “The Throwaways”, a New Yorker piece by journalist Sarah Stillman. Production on his original thriller, Mojave, begins in the first quarter of next year with Atlas Independent’s William Green producing along with Monahan and Atlas’s Andy Horwitz executive producing along with Henceforth’s Justine Suzanne Jones.

New Spartacus Video Looks Back At The Starz Drama And Previews War Of The Damned

Author: Kelly West

Spartacus fans likely don't need to be reminded that this month brings the return of the beloved Starz drama for its final season. In anticipation for the premiere of Spartacus: War of the Damned, Starz released this video, which looks back at the series from its beginning all the way through Spartacus: Vengance, and then offers a brief preview of the upcoming War of the Damned.

Clocking in at nearly ten minutes, the video below features the cast and writers, including creator Steven S. DeKnight, the late Andy Whitfield and Liam McIntyre as they discuss the drama, which began as a gladiator show and has since escalated to battle series.

It's interesting to hear DeKnight admit to going a bit overboard with the sex and violence in the series' first few episodes. I'll admit, while I don't typically shy away from that sort of thing as a viewer, it was overkill enough at the start of Spartacus: Blood and Sand that I didn't even make it through the pilot before deciding I wouldn't watch the show. It took word of mouth to get me to give the drama a second chance, and I'm very glad I did as the series really hit its stride after those first few episodes, and has since gone on to become one of my favorite shows on television. How about that?

It's disappointing that Spartacus is coming to an end, but I know I'm not alone in being very excited to see how it all wraps up.
 

Spartacus: War of the Damned premieres January 25 on Starz.

Sunny success: How adult websites make money


New Delhi: Adult film star Sunny Leone was the most searched personality in India this year, according to Google’s annual Zeitgeist list.

Leone rose to fame after appearing in the reality show Bigg Boss in 2011, and made her Bollywood debut with Jism 2, drawing a lot of attention because of the steamy stills released online.

Leone, who runs her own entertainment company and adult websites, had said earlier this year in an interview that 80 per cent of the traffic on her website and 60 per cent of her revenue came from India.

So how does a porn site, which offers tonnes of free content, make money?

While free pornography is widely available across the Web, it forms only a tiny part of the smut universe. Beyond free porn is “premium content”, which includes high-definition videos, full-length DVDs, the promise of no ads, no pop-ups, unlimited downloads, etc. A paid subscriber may even get porn delivered in his email every day.

Subscriptions also open up doors to other services the website’s parent company may be offering, such as brand new DVDs that won’t be available free for weeks to come, and maybe sex toys and dating services. All this comes at a cost.

Websites offer different “packages” that come with different payment options. The most common type of payment is a daily, weekly or monthly subscription, which could be anything between $1 to $15 a day, depending on the website, the type of content you are subscribing to and the number of hours you will be spending online.

While a popular website earns a significant amount of money from its subscribers, it also makes money from the other websites and services to which it redirects traffic. Websites of companies offering dating services, sex toys, leather or latex clothing, accessories, online adult stores, performance enhancement drugs, adult gaming websites, cartoon porn, etc, depend heavily on mainstream porn websites for traffic.

These websites pay a percentage of their earnings to the porn site that gives them the traffic.

Both sides are at an advantage here. While the porn site may be getting its cut from 20 other affiliates, these affiliates may in turn be getting traffic from 20 other websites, considerably boosting the number of visitors they have.

One of the latest attractions sites are offering is 3D porn. With most companies coming out with 3D TVs and other forms of smart TVs that allow Internet access, adult entertainment companies are offering 3D porn to add that extra dimension to pornography. This, too, comes at a price. Most full-length 3D videos cost upwards of $10. Often, 2D videos are shown as a free trailer to the 3D versions, and help boost sales.

Just like the mainstream movie industry, the porn industry has several grades of actors and actresses.

There are the lead stars, who do the main roles in the film and get paid the most, and then there are the side artists, who complement the lead stars. Most free porn available on the Internet comprises videos of the side artists, and only toned-down clips of lead artists are available. Full clips of lead artists are paid.

Such clips of lead artists are available in the pay-per-view format, where the user pays for only that particular video clip. In most cases, a pay-per-view video ends with another teaser.

Lead actors often run their own websites, which offer their videos in different genres and with different artistes. The major attractions here are the unseen clips and the behind-the-scenes videos that are not available in public domain. New movies are often released on the website first before they hit the DVD store. The websites even include adult games with the star, sex chat, etc. with the actor. Again, such services are not free.

While some viewers may be content with free porn, it is this diversity of paid porn that keeps the dough coming in.
Some interesting stats:
  1. There are close to 24 billion porn sites
  2. The online porn industry makes over $3,000 per second, and each second nearly 28,000 people are watching porn on the Internet
  3. One in three porn viewers is a woman
  4. Eight per cent of all email is pornographic
  5. Thirty-five per cent of all Internet download is porn

30-years old Jennifer Esposito topless in thought provoking but slightly over-rated Crash (2004). It was her first and so far only nude scene. Paul Haggis pet project is all about racial provocation and nothing elicits more reaction than black man and white girl going at it. The story goes that Haggis wanted a slight change by casting a Caucasian actress portraying a Latino character. Covering all the bases so to speak. But it easier said than done when you're marketing the movie for mass American consumption.
Esposito was not the first choice for the role but beggars can't be choosers when pickings are slim and writhing nude underneath a black actor - talented he may be - is considered a career suicide for established and upcoming actresses and even for many B-listers. Jenni does appeared white even though she considers herself to be a minority. I'm pretty sure Italians prefers to be on the white side of the population in terms of racial identity.
The actress was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder) and was fired by CBS for demanding same pay but reduced work load. 
But how things have progressed without any hiccups for Mr. Cheadle. Producing and headlining a top-rated cable show. Nude babes in bed...get to see all the lady bits very intimately. One lucky fuck. Don and David Duchovny must be comparing notes on the breasts size, who got the tightest butt, nipples you want to chew on and best looking pussy (notwithstanding modesty patch).

You have read this article Adelaide Clemens / Kaya Scodelario / The White Queen with the title Adelaide Clemens. You can bookmark this page URL https://renelyons.blogspot.com/2013/01/stars-sex-and-nudity-buzz-01022013.html. Thanks!

stars, sex and nudity buzz : 09/19/2012

Heads up, guys. Final episode of PARADE'S END [Episode 5] will have a strong sex scene according to the British ratings board.
I have not read the book but it's likely the love scene is between Adelaide Clemens's Valentine Wannop and Benedict Cumberbatch character.

Quite pissed off about British rating system. They grouped together sexual content and nudity which can be tad misleading. Non-sexual nudity is rather common these days so the good folks in charge need to separate sex and nudity categorically so perves like me can figure out which movie has nudity.

Anyway I sent an e-mail to IFCO.ie (Irish Film Classification Office) asking precisely about this (and aiming my question in relation to American Mary in killing two birds with one stone mode). They actually replied :

* So the Canadian babe Katharine Isabelle is indeed nude during the rape scene. Again I'm cautious having been burned before with Isabelle. She always had the final say when it comes to the nudity even if she had agreed to it beforehand so body-double could be in use here.

Eva Longoria bares all for sleep book
Eva Longoria has bared all for a quirky new photo book, which features shots of celebrities asleep at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont hotel.

Snapper Jork Weismann asked friends and Chateau regulars to recreate their sleeping attire and habits for his new book Asleep at the Chateau, and actress Longoria agreed to strip off for her sexy shot.

Taken as the former Desperate Housewives star sleeps with her back to the camera - a bed sheet pulled down to her thighs - the erotic shot exposes her buttocks and her back.

The book also features sleeping shots of punk poet Patti Smith, who likes to fall asleep while reading James Joyce, and rapper RZA, clutching a marijuana joint in his hand.



* Eva getting bolder as the dreaded forty beckons...but she posed for Jork back in 2010!


______________________________________________


* It's getting warmer to first time nudity from Nadine Velazquez. As I mentioned before, actresses doing their first outright nude scene will talk about it during an interview junket for the particular flick days before it comes out. Or they will post pics of them in racy poses to give an inkling what was coming. More than ever I'm certain Nadine is the girl in the trailer with Denzel. The pic below was uploaded on to her twitter hours before the special screening of Flight. Like Nadine was trying to tell us something. I had my Columbo raincoat on for this mini investigation. Keeping my fingers crossed for Nadine tits to light up the screen and me not ending up sounding like an idiot (probably too late for that).

James Caan And Esai Morales Join Starz Drama ‘Magic City’ For Second Season
EXCLUSIVE: Starz‘s Miami-set period drama Magic City is beefing up the cast for Season 2 with major additions. I’ve learned that Sonny Corleone himself, veteran actor James Caan, is joining the series in a major recurring role, along with NYPD Blue alum Esai Morales.
Set in 1959 Miami shortly after the Cuban Revolution, Magic City tells the story of Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the owner of Miami’s glitzy Miramar Playa hotel, who is forced to make a deal with local mob boss Ben Diamond (Danny Huston). Caan will play Sy Berman, the head of the Chicago mob and Diamond’s boss. A father figure to Ben, Sy saw the potential in the young con and encouraged Ben’s criminal talents — creating “The Butcher.” Unbeknownst to Ben, Sy also has a secret connection to Ben’s wife Lily (Jessica Marais). Morales will play Carlos Ruiz, a former rebel who once fought beside Castro but now works to free Cuba from the man he once considered a brother.
Bringing in Caan to Magic City is fitting as the series is said to be inspired by The Godfather, which co-starred Caan in his signature, Oscar-nominated role as Sonny Corleone. On Magic City, Caan will be reunited with follow Godfather alum Alex Rocco, who recurs as Ike’s father Arthur. For CAA-repped Caan, this represents the biggest series commitment since his starring role on NBC’s Las Vegas. He will next be seen in Blood Ties. Morales, repped by Innovative Artists and KLWGN, recently recurred on Fairly Legal and Caprica.
Filming on Season 2 of Magic City starts this week in Miami for a 2013 premiere. Returning are creator/executive producer Mitch Glazer and cast members Morgan, Olga Kurylenko, Huston, Kelly Lynch, Steven Strait, Christian Cooke, Marais, Yul Vazquez, Dominik Garcia-Lorido and Elena Satine. Glazer, Geyer Kosinski and Fred Berner executive produce.

* Jessica Marais must be praying like hard Caan's character is a close-relative and not another sleazy mob with a taste for kinky sex. Poor Aussie but for us more peeps at those freakishly unique tits. Morales character is certainly will be revolving around Dominik Garcia-Lorido's Mercedes but I don't see any romantic entanglement. She is now a flight attendant yet it's possible Mitch will rewrite her storyline to match the revolution going on in Cuba.

Meg Chambers Steedle on Her ‘Boardwalk Empire’ Debut, Nudity on Screen, and Kissing Steve Buscemi
By Emmet Sullivan
 
It was only a few years ago that Meg Chambers Steedle was watching Steve Buscemi on the Sopranos in her Northwestern University dorm room. Now the "budding It girl" is starring next to the Emmy nominee every week on Boardwalk Empire (Sundays on HBO). The scene-stealing Steedle, who spends just as much time in her dress as out of it on the show, plays Buscemi's new love interest, bubbly flapper Billie Kent. I met up with Steedle at Tommy Gun's Garage (2114 S. Wabash Ave.) on Tuesday to talk about Billie, Boardwalk, and of course, Buscemi. (Full disclosure: Meg and I were classmates at Northwestern together. We think we ate at the same dining hall a few times)

OK, tell me. What's it like to make out with Steve Buscemi?
People have asked me that, and this is what I say: It is amazing, when you go through the motions of making out with someone, that you can kind of develop a little crush on them. He's an attractive guy to me. It was awesome making out with him. I watched him on Sopranos when I was in college, so it was just so cool. Also, that's the first way we met each other, just thrown into the intimacy. He made me feel so comfortable. If anything, that was one of the most comfortable scenes to do.

What drew you to Boardwalk?
Funny enough, I had been doing a lot of regional theatre since school, and I loved theatre, but I was at this point in my life where I wanted to do more. I was in LA auditioning but also exploring grad schools for writing and directing. So when I got the call, I was like, all right, I'm flying back only because this is a show I've had my eye on for a while, I love period dramas, I love [series creator] Terence Winter. It takes place in the Jersey Shore, and I grew up going to the Jersey Shore every summer, so it felt close to my heart.

What about Billie?
Actually when I was first given the script, her name was Ivy, and she was different. In my interpretation of that reading, she had a little more of an edge. And I went in there and did that and it was great. I felt like it went well, but I was told they were going to go in another way. And then I got a call two months later that they wanted to see me again, they had changed the role. She was now bubbly. I went in and had fun, and they said, OK, now we want you to sing and dance. And I thought, yes! Yes!

Did you put any thought into Billie's voice or mannerisms?
No! I felt just some of the lines that she has, I guess I have…she's a spitfire. She's teasing. I really identified with a fiery woman who could really just say what she wanted.

What's been the weirdest part of all this for you?
I think two things. One, when I first got cast, I was so excited, but also terrified. It's a great show, it's won awards, it's a well-oiled machine, and here I am coming in as someone who has one other credit, as a guest star, on one other TV show. I've been given this gift from the writers and team to play this incredible character that really represents a movement for women at the time. My first scene, when I knock back two drinks talking to Steve Buscemi and Kelly Macdonald, I just thought, here we go. I remember being so nervous, and I chugged my drinks a few times. It was just ginger ale, but still. It was just being so aware I'm a rookie at this, working with the best of the best.

So it was not being naked on screen.
That was my number two. They said, "Oh, there's nudity." Okaay. I told my mom, "I just want to warn you, there's nudity involved." And she said, "Oh, yeah, I know, it's HBO." So my parents go off to choir practice—I hadn't told my dad yet—and when they come home, I get them both on the phone. I told my dad, "As your daughter, it may be a little weird for you, there's nudity involved." And my mom chimes in and says, "Wait, you??" They had already made an announcement in the church that I was going to be on the show, not knowing that the first episode was going to have this "wham, bam, there I am" moment.


What can you tell us happens in the rest of the season?
(teasing in Billie's voice) Well, you'll have to watch and find out what happens! There's going to be some singing and dancing, which we haven't seen in past seasons, which is a credit to Terry Winter. In that time, it makes sense that showbiz people and gangsters would be mingling. A lot of previews for Broadway shows happened in Atlantic City, so it's a culture that definitely influenced whatever scandal that was going on there. I do know that, just in the way history goes, there's some Al Capone stuff that should be interesting. I don't know much about that storyline, to be honest, since we only get our own scripts, but just doing my research, this is a big time for Chicago.

Speaking of, what's it like being back in Chicago today?
It's awesome. I woke up this morning to Lake Michigan. I used to live at 1835 Hinman (one of the dorms at Northwestern) and be able to see Lake Michigan every time I walked out my door. A lot of Billie, I was able to pull out a lot of my background from school with singing and dancing. Actually when we were talking about the character, we were throwing around the idea that she's kind of a Sally Bowles/Holly Golightly, and I got to play Sally Bowles at Northwestern. It feels like coming full circle.

* Someone needs to do a survey to find out the percentage and comparison of nudity between female artists from conservative and the liberal background. I think in terms of quality, willingness and receptiveness the conservatives win hands down. Michelle Williams is the benchmark but Meg, Ashley Hinshaw and soon Maggie Grace are the ones I can remember at the moment. There is lots of rightists in Hollywood but they kept it quiet in fear of being unofficially black-listed by left-leaning power players. They wait until becoming more successful and gain a stronghold in the industry before publicly coming out. At least they're far more honest than the Baldwins and other very loud Irish-Americans actors all for health care, raising taxes and bending over for Obama. You never trust those snakes. By the way Alec, you're more French than Irish so take it notch down a bit on your Irishness nonsense. We also don't want Stephen on our side. Take him back.

Kristen Stewart Uses A Few Too Many Double Entendres To Describe Her “On the Road” Director, Walter Salles

“He puts so much inside of you … Once we got on set, it was so about just breathing and letting it happen … So it was like, ‘OK, so I have to take my clothes off?’ It’s so not a big [deal].”
– Kristen Stewart on working with director Walter Salles for the film “On the Road.” In all fairness, these are two quotes that The New York Daily News melded together — one from MTV News, and one from a Toronto Film Festival press junket. But yes, these words came out of K-Stew’s mouth. In light of recent events with another director who shall remain nameless, I might have phrased this differently if I were her. Part of me thinks she was purposefully trying to be flip. Either way, I still plan to watch her give a topless, double handy in “On the Road.” [NY Daily News]

Hirsch: My steamy scene with Cruz
Emile Hirsch jumped at the chance to work with Penelope Cruz

Emile Hirsch has confessed that he rushed to accept a role in new film Twice Born - after learning he'd have a saucy scene with Penelope Cruz.

Penelope plays a single mother returning to present-day Sarajevo where her son's father (Emile) died during the Bosnian conflict in the film, directed by Sergio Castellitto.

Into The Wild star Emile told Collider: "I started reading the script, I'm reading it and I'm going, 'This is really interesting, this is like a really meaty drama,' and then I get to the sex scenes and I'm like, 'Wow, this is Penelope Cruz. I'm doing this movie now, let me just finish the script'.

"She's one of the hottest women in the world so first and foremost as a dude I was like, 'Yes' and second as an actor and an artist, I was like of course, this is an amazing story and the chance to work with Penelope, she's a great actress and Sergio is a great director."

The steamy snap are part of two new campaigns for underwear brands Lascana and La Clover.

And they're sure to win the 26-year-old even more male fans.

Sadly for Irina's legions of admirers she's been dating Portuguese footie ace Cristiano Ronaldo since 2010.

The couple met when they were both posing for fashion brand Armani Exchange.

And Irina insists Cris is the only man who'll get to see her naked.

The lingerie lovely has been indundated with offers to strip totally nude - but she always turns them down.

She said: "I would never do Playboy. Yes, I am a lingerie model, but I have class. Playboy offered me so much money last year. I was like, ‘No way!’"


Unlike many models, Irina refuses to starve herself to stay slim.

Instead she hits the gym and works out four to five times a week, and stays fit doing Pilates, boxing and calisthenics.

She said: "I never really diet. I think that a person can eat what she likes and do some exercises to be in shape - doesn't matter if it's going to be gym or swimming, walking in a park or Pilates."

"I personally love going to the gym! I love to work out, it’s a great start to a day."

She added: "I work out four or five times a week with my trainer not because I want to be skinny, but because it just makes me feel good to start my day with a workout.

"When I travel, I try to work out at least three times a week. It’s very important for me. After it, I feel full of energy."

"It’s very important to take care of your health. I work out a lot, love boxing and Pilates, but I also eat healthy food and drink a lot of water. But the most important thing is to be happy and to be in love with your body!"

There's no shortage of people in love with your body, Irina!

Brittney Palmer 2013 Calendar Shoot BTS
Brittney Palmer and Arianny Celeste are hands down the biggest and brightest stars in the UFC. They never get injured in idiotic motorcycle accidents. They never refuse to fight anyone, causing entire events to get canceled. They never abuse various forms of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) and get suspended for a year.
Fans can count on Palmer and Celeste.
In an effort to continue to be the gift that keeps on giving, Palmer, in particular, recently put together a 2013 calendar that presumably will be available at some point before 2013. She was also kind enough to film all her exploits while making that calendar.

TORONTO 2012: Outro by Steve Dollar
Paradise: Love
There is a paucity of acronyms to properly gauge the impression made by Ulrich Seidl's latest film. ZOMFGWTFBBQ seems, somehow, understated. Suffice it to say that there is no doubting Paradise: Love is Seidl's: The first minute or so, which I will refrain from describing, is a startling, in-your-face eruption (of sheer joy, actually) that immediately calls to question the filmmaker's intention. What's he after? Here's a checklist, pick a couple: Politically incorrect provocation. Sensational shock value. Existential absurdity. A dare to watch the train wreck. An unflinching gaze deep into the human condition.

Seidl applies a certain anthropological rigor to his films that makes his transgressive perspectives something much different than similar tendencies in work by, say, the Farrelly Brothers or Todd Solondz. Paradise: Love, the first installment in a trilogy about Austrians abroad, is about sex tourism. Margarethe Tiesel plays Teresa, a 50-something single mother of a bored teenage girl who has finally given in to a friend's insistence that she take a vacation at a Kenyan beach resort. It's a wonderland of post-colonial colonialism, with every bit of cringe-inducing racial frisson one might imagine and then some: A tour bus full of northern Europeans practicing their Swahili phrases—"Jambo!" "Hakuna matata"; the incessant smiles and servile persistence of the would-be studs who line the beach, just the other side of the rope from where the women sunbathe, their pale fleshy bodies in sharp contrast to the slender, limber young men who stand as patient as obelisks.


The narrative follows Teresa's transformation from a giggly newbie—encouraged by her uninhibited and insatiable best friend (Inge Maux)—who finds erotic renewal in her encounters with sweet-talking, dreadlocked Mungo (Peter Kazungu), into a jaded Jill, disheartened that it's all a hustle. Along the way, racial clichés are celebrated in exuberant and discomforting ways, as when a bartender's complexion is described to be "as shiny as bacon rind." But that gaze turns both ways, and what once seemed like a bit of giddy satire on cultural stereotypes (overweight, middle-aged sex tourists getting their groove back) turns into an intimate commentary on the ugliness of economic disparity. There's a parallel line, however, in Tiesel's performance, which often is fearlessly exposed. Photographed by the superstar team of Ed Lachman and Wolfgang Thaler, the film deploys the static tableaux that Seidl's likes to use as punctuation marks throughout the film. These seem to emphasize a detached, ironic perspective: all those fat asses in bikinis, for instance, could just equate a "People of Wal-Mart" meme gone Euro arthouse. But then what to make of a moment as elegant as Teresa's repose in the Kenyan love shack where she's shared an afternoon with Mungo, dozing as he arranges a transparent blue scrim around the bed? Seidl quotes Manet's Olympia, although the form is purely Rubenesque, displayed as an object of beauty.

The Crazy Secrets Of Internet Cam Girls  
 If you think cam girls — those flirty naked characters that plague porn site pop-up ads — are raking in easy money, you’re right. If you think cam girls are bleakly stripping online out of desperation, you’re also right. Peel away the sex and pixels and money and you’re left with the cloudy truth about the internet’s relationship status with these on-demand entertainers: it’s complicated.

If you’ve looked at porn online (which we pretty much all have), you’ve likely been propositioned by advertisements for cam girl networks. They invade your peripheral vision; they pop up behind your window. The women wait for you to start staring, and, just when you’re interested, they hit you up for money. You’ve seen them sitting at their keyboards, wearing barely anything, winking at you, typing to nobody in particular with thin, lethargic arms: bored and conventionally beautiful. The ads, with flirty video that might be live or recorded years ago, shout at you with promises of “Live Sex Chat” and “Sex Shows,” with both amateurs and “pornstars” alike. It’s a web red light district, and unlike some gaudy Dutch strip or seedy sidewalk, you’re completely anonymous. The sex comes to you.

The basic premise of the cam girl game is a simple one: You pay a girl for her time, and in exchange, she’ll take off her clothes, talk to you, play with herself (and others), or any combination thereof. When your money is up, so’s your time — the two of you part ways until you’ve got the cash and willingness to go at it again. And when that time comes, you’ll have thousands upon thousands of girls ready to swivel and smile for you in real time. It’s a massive catalogue of preening women of every variety: big, skeletal, black, white, Asian, American, Greek, Czech, etc. To find them, look no further than the Big Three of cam girl delight: Streamate, LiveJasmine, and MyFreeCams. These three mega-networks advertise across the mainstream porn tube sites of masturbating ubiquity — PornHub, ClipHunter, etc. — but are shells and shadows themselves. So how do you get in?

Becoming A Cam Girl


The requirements are meager: a computer and Internet connection.

Odds are, you’re referred by a newspaper or website listing. Maybe a friend suggested you try it out. Maybe you’re shifting from traditional strip club work to the online equivalent — a popular trend in wealthier countries. Maybe you’re working in a brothel where web camming is just another expectation. Whatever the case, you’ll have to stream yourself through a web cam portal, one of the massive sites that catalogues thousands of models and acts as a go-between between customer and model.
Next, you’ll need to decide which cam network to use. They all offer more or less the same “service:” You supply the body, the network supplies the eyeballs — and takes a cut of what your viewers pay.

Each network will ask you to fill out a brief bit of biographical information — list your interests, and try to sound fun — and then check a box or pull down a menu saying that you’re 18 or above. You’ll need to submit some sort of identification proving your age, but with standards low, laws international, and documents scanned, forging such a thing is a cinch, making underage cam girls a real problem.

Streamate sells its models through a variety of repackaged and re-skinned websites, like PornHubLive — using the site’s well-known brand as an easy in with porn consumers. In reality, it’s the same old site in new clothes. Streamate itself is hard to pin down. Trying to find who actually owns it is dizzying: The domain belongs to Flying Crocodile Incorporated, which has a PO box in Seattle. Job openings point to a nebulous firm called NaiadDev, also based in Seattle (and hosted by FlyingCroc). But the company’s custodian of records is one Rena Erotocritou, employed by “Ariel Secretaries Limited,” a ghost of a company based out of Cyprus.

The massive LiveJasmin would have you believe it’s owned by “Gestao e Investimentos, Lda,” a company based in an autonomous region of Portugal — and has a host of fraud complaints lodged against one of its subsidiaries. But a recent tax bust against LiveJasmin’s Hungarian CEO Gattyán György — one of the richest men in Hungary — and his corporation, Dolcer Holdings, shows just how muddled the corporate picture is. No doubt deliberately.

MyFreeCams, one of the most popular of the cam portals, has a domain registered to a Leo Radvinsky, and a legal contact in the Netherlands.
If you’ve got your own hardware, and connection, you can essentially be self-employed, putting aside the big chunk each site will take out of your earnings. It really doesn’t require much. Here’s the cam setup from one Romanian model I spoke with at length.
On her end, the website looks like this. This is where she sits and waits. (Click to expand)

But if you don’t have this luxury — like a lot of girls across the world — you’ll likely work for a “studio.” That’s basically a euphemism for another person’s computer (probably a man), in front of which you’ll perform on a tight schedule. You’re still working through, say, MyFreeCams, but instead of only giving MFC a cut of your take, the studio owner takes a piece as well. Often a large one. If you don’t stick to your mandatory hours, you’ll be fired. You’ll also be potentially living with strangers in conditions beneath the grimiest motel.

It’s easy enough to read up on pointers from veterans.

A little research at mega-message boards like Stripper Web is fruitful — you’ll pick up “Best Way to Recieve Money from Guys” muse in “Are you always beautious on cam?” And, of course, share war stories. One user started a thread spilling the most obnoxious, bigoted lines she’d recently been fed by “customers”:
“Are you clean?” (As in STDs)
“You’d make more money if you can ****.”
“Are you mix with white? You’re music is different.”
Sites do virtually nothing to curb or discourage this kind of treatment.

Entirely unsurprisingly, it’s impossible to get in touch with any of the people who actually run these networks. None of the above entities from LiveJasmin, Streamate, or MyFreeCams responded to efforts to confirm that they do indeed exist and have some affiliation with the websites in question. All that’s available is a semi-robotic technical support chat, which fields basic questions about how to use the site and credit card processing. These web cam kingpins might as well not exist. We don’t know where the money goes.

And as a cam girl, you won’t know where it’s coming from. You’ll get your split — typically around 35-percent, but sometimes upwards of 70 — siphoned to you via an innocuous credit card processing site like CCBill, while the site takes the rest of the cut. However you earn that cut is up to you. Some sites, like Streamate, allow actual sex to the point of orgy, while others limit your act to a solo show. You can do whatever you think will earn cash in the form of dollars-per-minute private shows or instant “tips.” That’s the formula. You’re up against tens of thousands of women (and men, to a lesser degree) offering the same product in varying versions. That’s a tough stab at making a living, even with your clothes on.

So who are these tireless women (or girls), these internet sex pioneers? Where do they live? Where did they come from? How did they wind up these poorly furnished, fluorescent-lit rooms in this oversaturated, low-res corner of the web? We wondered the same thing. So I talked to them.

Domino: Living the American Dream


“There’s a lot of burnout in this industry,” Domino tells me over the phone from one of the three houses she owns in Wisconsin — one of them a lakefront property outside of Madison. She says it with a serious voice that sounds a little tired.

I don’t know her real name, and I don’t get the feeling she’s willing to tell. We just talk about stripping and streaming sex, her chosen field for the past couple years. There’s not much point in digging, anyway — Domino is, for my purposes, more a brand and personality than a fragile and finite person like you or me. But a thriving one. She describes herself as:

“Not your average female. I’m the fabled nerdy, intelligent woman who plays video games, loves all types of movies and music, books, and other women. I’m hyper, I have a dry, dark, sarcastic sense of humour, and I quote movies. A lot. Imagine Wednesday Addams, Daria, Liz Lemon, and Darlene Connor having an orgy. I’m the result.”

Domino might not be something so dramatic as that, but she’s certainly smart, replies to my questions without the slightest hesitation, and oozes the confidence of a professional from any field. She just pays her bills with a dildo now.

That wasn’t always the case. Before she started stripping — both online and off — Domino was a suit: working at a Fortune 500 company as a graphic designer. She quit the firm out of boredom in 2010, and now mainly flexes her aesthetic skills to push her online sex shows. Unlike most cam girls, Domino isn’t affiliated with a network like LiveJasmin. She’s completely independent, streaming strip and fetish sex shows from her home studio, straight from a website she built herself. Stripping at a local joint came first, but after breaking her wrist, Domino segued away from brick and mortar clubs. She’d heard there was good money to be made doing pretty much the same stuff online — and she could be her own boss.

Domino wakes up at 8 am every morning and performs booked shows for clients paying between $US90 and $US120 an hour. That’s about sixteen times her state minimum wage, and she doesn’t have to leave her bedroom. If a client wants to book through MyFreeCams rather than sending money directly, Domino charges double. There’s not a cent lost to a middle man. It seems like a pretty swell setup: “I love my job,” Domino gushes. “I can work when I want to, as much as I want to, [and] nobody can tell me how to do my job.” She’s right. At her strip club, she was required to come in four to five days a week, spinning on a pole. Now, she can work all day. Or not at all. The last time we spoke, she was working on an ebook project, spending her time as she pleased.

When the clothes do come off, it can be damn lucrative: Domino estimates she hauls in around $US300 on a good day — although a bad day is zero dollars, and hours wasted. But it’s enough for her to be completely self-sufficient, albeit weary of the whole thing sometimes. More concerning though are the handful of “true creeps” she runs into — the gents who aren’t just pervs, but sexual threats. That’s never OK, but the rest of the time, occasional criminals aside, the job sounds downright leisurely.

It also gives Domino a chance to indulge in her geeky professionalism: “I like being able to network with people who aren’t my strip club customers, [and] it’s a way for me to see how good I am at SEO and social media.” This is fun for her. Domino says she’s “always been a very sexual person,” so while camming is tiring, of course, on-camera kink isn’t onerous, if you can put the monotony aside.

Domino has it pretty good — an American with ample property and a cushy career based on sex she enjoys. Not everyone is Domino.

Anna: Former Indentured Stripper


I met Anna because she flatly offered to talk to me — clothed or unclothed — in exchange for money. She’s Romanian, a model from a region with a reputation for sordid conditions and rapacious studio owners. If there were a dark side to the industry, she’d at least be nestled closest to it. But when her camera first flipped on for me, I didn’t see the stained walls of a prostitute’s den. Instead: a bright, modern apartment inhabited by a bright, modern girl. In her pink underwear. Anna embodies almost every delightful stereotype an American brain can hold over a young girl from Romania. At 24, she’s clever — even cunning — sarcastically flirtatious in a way that makes you want to check your back pocket, and possesses stunning slavic beauty.

But despite fulfilling all my internet male expectations, Anna’s impossible to really pin down. On both IM and video chat, she’s prone to mannerisms and quips that make you want to pay for her time. A lot of it. She’s beautiful without surfeit, an honest form that’s pleasing even over a low-resolution video stream. Her English is fantastic, her personality disarming. She’ll sit casually, like a girl the morning after a sleepover, musing about her cats and future. When she first “performed” for me on camera, discarding her herd of cats and cigarette for a bottle of baby oil, a few alarmed neurons felt like I should rush to Bucharest and wrap a blanket around her. Her innocence is a cool switch. The tokens evaporated.

But there’s really nothing exotic about Anna. She’s occasionally lazy and often messy, spending most of her days, as far as I can tell, puttering around her Bucharest apartment in pajamas, playing with her cats, drinking enormous plastic bottles of soda, working on coding an iOS game, and taking occasional trips out to pick up fried chicken and buy new underwear. She claims to have almost no “real” friends off of the internet, but is consistently cheery, and enormously talkative. While video chatting, she always asks if I mind before she smokes. Anna complains about having to take time away from Diablo 3 for her cam sessions, where she chats with regulars, masturbates, mouths along to pop songs, and waits, waits, waits for someone to send her money. And when it comes, it comes. Anna’s a MyFreeCam loyalist, earning $US6 a minute via “tokens” — a clever way to obscure how much her customers actually spend. It’s a lot easier to fork over 900 tokens than thinking about the $US75 you just spent in minutes. This is Anna’s sole income, and what took her out of rural Romanian poverty and the whims of other men.

It took six years to reach this life of dilettantism and occasional sex work. Anna wasn’t always free. She started camming when she moved from her backwater Romanian hometown to attend college in Bucharest for a degree in psychology. When she relocated, she knew no one and had no money. But, like Domino, heard things about the lucrative streaming flesh trade — a recommendation from a male friend who convinced her to strip from his cramped 2-room apartment as he did the same in the other room.

Her friend, “gave [her] sex toys,” and she was on her way, waking at 6 am each morning in order to hit American-internet primetime. She hopped from studio to studio, at times living with her employers (and their unwanted advances), still far enough from self-sufficiency that she had to depend on them for support. One had a wife who insulted her constantly. She had to work, almost every day, on strict, long, tiring shifts, doing the same performances over, and over, and over again. She was an urbanite, but she was still a poor stripper in a small room. When one studio boss lost all of his money and had to move in with a friend, Anna had to go along, having lost her room, board, and virtually all of her possessions.

Her conditions at the next studio were bare at best, and at times the most personal privacy she had, while performing for strangers on live camera, were a few hanging sheets separating her from the others walking in and out of some rundown flat. Although she was the frequent victim of what would certainly qualify as flagrant, physical sexual harassment in any other business, Anna stuck through it, priding herself on her ability to talk a path out of a “bad situation” with male employers.

Others aren’t so lucky, she says, referring to her peers’ dips into coerced sex and assault. “Guys who are in charge of these business, they don’t respect the girls, because of this job. A girl who does this doesn’t deserve to have respect — that’s just the mentality.” But at the same time, Anna downplays the prevalence of studio abuse as “exceptions,” or even complete fabrications — ploys for sympathy and the money that might trickle with it.

This comes off as somewhere between cynicism and naive denial, but the fact that she knows of any girls at all who’ve raped and beaten suggests that it is, at the very least, a real occupational hazard.

If abuse were such a big problem, Anna says, then why would any Romanian girls bother with it at all? Why wouldn’t they just find some other job? In a country whose GDP only stopped shrinking two years ago, with 20-percent of the population living below the poverty line and personal income levels far below Kazakhstan, Iran, and Gabon, that question answers itself. There’s a reason Anna’s so happy to be independent from her former employers, a status she equates with nothing less than her “freedom.”
Today, things are different. After saving money and learning enough savvy to avoid continued exploitation, Anna is done with money-sucking studios, and so she works only about five days a month, from her own home. Five days of camming per month allow her to match the Romanian per capita income of roughly $US12,000 per year with a minuscule fraction of the labour. If she wants more money, she works more days.

She’s got camming down to a science. “It’s all about saying to people they are sweet,” she smiles. All a man needs is attention, when he wants it, and he’ll be Anna’s until the tokens run dry. Regulars will sit in her room for hours, pouring money away — these are the lonely ones, Anna says. “They want to hear that they’re loved…that they’re sweet…that they’re kind…that’s how you keep them coming back.” It might sound mercenary, but these guys are getting exactly what they’re paying for. Only a man in the deepest bog of delusion truly believes the cam love is real — if you’re spending hundreds of dollars for a companion on your computer monitor, you have to be willing to suspend disbelief. Plenty are willing — particularly Americans, who for whatever reasons (Anna chalks it up to a sort of cultural shamelessness), are more “generous” than Europeans, and more likely to buy into the act — and pay for the privilege of watching something interactive.

There are still big ticket European customers these days, men who Anna is reluctant to call “addicted,” but “spend more time…you need to entertain those people who are going to stay for hours and hours in your room, even if they finished what they came for — they want to get to know you.” Either way, camming keeps Anna in comfy sweatpants and Fanta.

Mila: The Superstar


Mila Milan is as close as camming gets to producing a celebrity: a renaissance woman boasting ownership of a private resort in Thailand (below), a Porsche, an industrial design firm, nine cats, eight dogs, an impending book deal, a small child, and what she says was “one of the biggest tips ever in cam history — 260,000 tokens, which meant $US13,000 for me.”

She started in the German porn game at 17, and moved on to cam modelling years later in Bangkok. Two years ago she was the number one rated model on MyFreeCams — meaning her link was at the very top of the site’s barren layout — bringing in around $US37,000 per month. These days, girls in those top slots can earn up to an insane $US75,000 per month. The competition is cutthroat. The MFC ratings battle is ruthless, as tips beget more tips: if you’re being paid well, you move up the totem pole, ensuring a snowball effect of even more attention and money.

At times, it’s hard to believe Mila even enjoys the work. I stopped by one of her more recent shows, and she sat, almost motionless, with her top unbuttoned, literally wincing. She seemed to be mumbling to herself, narrowing her eyes and ignoring her customers. Mila told the hundreds of slobbering men in her chatroom that they’d need to deposit thousands of tokens before she’d take her shirt off entirely. Money trickled in. She says the last three weeks have been “the slowest in 3 years…very bad.” Still, she’s a rich woman in an industry of destitution.
This kind of money and naked fame is the rarest exception for a camgirl. The rest of the many thousands struggle to make any money at all under what appear to be demeaning, even dangerous conditions. After eight years of observation, Mila says, straight up, that camming is a criminal business on an international scale:

“With the Feds closing down and tightening the control on casino and poker sites, some of those [criminal] elements have found a new way of doing business: the Cam Industry. Let me make clear that this is in no way an MFC problem where I work. This is an industry-wide problem which will need to be addressed if this industry wants to survive.”

The Dark Side
The racket is money laundering:

“Cam sites are ideal for laundering. The studios are being used to have girls online accepting a financed hand that uses ‘dirty’ money to buy the private time. The studio gets paid for the private session, the girl gets her (very small) part and so the money comes back clean,” Mila says. As a result, “most Russian and Romanian studios are Mafia owned,” a claim she extends to the wider developing world. The picture becomes clearer when you remember how scattered and obfuscated these networks’ financial structures are — it’d be easier to confusingly launder money through a company that’s somehow simultaneously based in both Hungary and Portugal.

The Eastern Bloc countries that so many cam girls call home are repeatedly mentioned in sex trafficking reports as both sources and conduits of illicit sex work — MyFreeCams has gone as far as banning all models from the Philippines, where conditions are said to be the most brutal.

The reasoning isn’t mentioned, but is easy to surmise. Moving the exploitation online, where girls are under “contract” to stay in a room for half a day at a time with dubious legal recourse, makes criminal sense. Unfortunately, not a single NGO I contacted that deals with issues of sex trafficking, abuse, prostitution, human rights, or anything that might’ve pertained to these weary faces had data or commentary on the cam industry.

(NakedSexAssasinDUO1on1, Philippines)
As far as quality of life goes, Domino is the upper top tier — happy, healthy, not without worry but relatively unstrained. A bourgeois sex worker. But stroll through any large network like MyFreeCams or Streamate, and you’ll see how the other half lives. Poorly.

Stream after stream reveals someone on the other end of Domino’s spectrum, far from the web sex metropole. They almost follow a template: garish makeup, harsh lighting, dingy rooms, generic techno wafting through the air, and almost certainly some piece of cheap fabric serving as a make-do backdrop. Pure Soviet Bloc chintz. They’re almost always employed by cam “studios” — operations that vary in legitimacy wildly, from large, on the level companies to some dude’s back room. It’s a simple business, and a thriving one. Studios are pervasive throughout poorer countries, where a decent computer and broadband connection are harder to come by. The owners provide the facilities, and, in return, receive a hefty cut of a woman’s takings — sometimes more.

The look is undeniably that of a brothel or a close approximation, and the ambiance is decidedly bleak. And it’s decidedly Third World — there’s a critical mass of prized white, American models, but the rest of the catalogue spans the economic stale crusts of the globe: Russia, Colombia, West Africa, Thailand, Czech Republic, the Ukraine, Romania. For reasons that were never quite clear, Romania was a capital of pay-for-play sex shows across every major cam network.

Regardless of nationality, almost all of these women stare the vacant look, a disquieting blend of boredom and despair. You’ll see none of Domino’s eager, entrepreneurial zeal in their eyes — sometimes it seems like they forget they’re even on camera. Although silent, they sure don’t look like they want to be there. But some of them talk, online, anonymously, where it’s safe. On one message board, SassyLisa shares her story from Bucharest:
Working in a studio as a webcam model its like keeping a wild beast into a cage…You have to work a number of hours,you don’t have legal working papers…sexual harassment(yes…it sucks!when your boss is calling you in the middle of the night asking you to have a quickie,otherwise you’ll take the consequences!
While hopping between these obviously studio-owned streams, I tried to get the women who are clearly down and out to talk about their work.

Most refused to discuss where they were, who they worked for, how they got there, or anything else. Some, with an alarmed expression, said they weren’t allowed to discuss their studio. Some just sat looking away blankly, with canned text responses typed by someone else — off camera — popping up intermittently. Take a spin through Cam World, and you’ll see women in catatonic states with a male partner — a “boyfriend” — for whom they clearly have no affection, but with whom they’re expected to have sex (and everything else) on demand. Their faces are pathetic and worn. They sit online in makeshift chambers for most of the day, in the same complex as who knows how many others just like them, serving as a sort of dragnet for internet chump change — every once in a while someone will pop into the room.

Half the time they’ll pop right back out. Otherwise, they’ll go to the usual line of lobotomised demands: “tits,” “show me dis,” “I wanna hav that,” to which the desperate model has to play along if she hopes to eke out a dollar or so. For them, the prospect of a $US13,000 tip is beyond comprehension — it’s doubtful they’ll make anywhere near that much in an entire year. If they do, it’ll likely be by pandering to the sordid whims of bullying customers — those who, as Anna laments, watch a show before calling you a whore. So if you’re just a single woman in the sea of Eastern European cam girls, rather than strip, perhaps you’ll just stay naked all day as a way of attracting attention — an option that’s allowed on MyFreeCams, but not on Streamate, where it’ll get you the boot. There, you’ll just dwell in a state of near-undress. Or flaunt the rules.

But then you notice everyone else is naked too. What’s left to do besides demean and disrobe?
(ForePLAYadik, Philippines)
This is maybe the saddest truth for the struggling cam girl: that rock bottom isn’t a destination but an expectation. The majority who struggle will sit, naked and unnoticed, waiting for a chance to degrade themselves, while American women demand top dollar to even speak with you.

“This is the irony,” explains Anna. Going out of your way to lure and satisfy customers, the willingness to do any act, no matter how uncomfortable or degrading, gets you nowhere — because all of your Third World competition is doing the same thing. Everyone’s price is driven down. Exponentially less permissive American women can earn a living just by stripping down. “Girls who do less, they get paid more. People who are willing to do all sorts of stuff, they barely get paid,” Anna says. The desperate bodies of the Third World are locked in a state of mutual ruination, competing with each other to the point of almost entirely diminished returns. Whether by the force of subsistence, an overbearing studio boss — or, if Mila is right, the Russian — the women that populate our porn pop-up ads aren’t there to please us or have fun. They’re there because they have to be. And because our money’s there too.

And this naked dingy daily grind, occasionally lucrative or otherwise, might simply be the best thing they have going. When last I spoke to Anna, I asked if she saw herself still camming in five years — and if not, what it’d take to make her quit. She refused to answer without more money. For most cam girls, that might be the best answer there is.

She was active on the mainstream scene as recent as of May before crossing over.........................to hardcore porn. She goes by the name of Penelope Crunch.



The reason for joining the smut world? Her official line is that mainstream modeling is sleazy and she had to sleep with all kinds of assholes just to stay ahead of fellow models in the biz. So she decided to fuck it and enter porn where she can at least make money sucking off strangers. The truth is bit more grounded for her and many of fellow young Spaniards caught in dying economy heading straight sown into abyss. The dire situation of Spanish economy is forcing many unemployed top models (just like in Italy and Greece) to work as escorts and few like Aris thinks porn is a better option. The tats are dead giveaway if you don't think that's her. The whole Madridista is pretty nonchalant about it probably thinking at least she have a job and providing one too (okay...that's a cheap shot). Her Facebook under porn name
Already shot handful of scenes with Torbe the Spanish Pierre Woodman. She is a squirter, loves deep-throating and swallowing cum. The bukkake show is her most extreme perf. so far....




Very shy Penelope interviewed by Torbe sandwiched between two other girls. Infectious smile. Nearly 20-guys of varied ages and shapes : old and young, skinny and fatties. Hairy ones too. Penelope strips nude. B-cups and a bubble butt. Sucks off one of cuter guys (dude wearing sun-glasses). She chooses another young cute dude for double BJ. Other two girls are fluffers. Penelope gets fucked by sun-glasses  in various positions before all the other guys queue up to be orally serviced by the model. Time for cum-show. And the boys didn't disapoint. All twenty (or more) of them blasted baby makers straight into Penelope open mouth. Did she swallow all of the white juice? She sure did like a proper fashion model. Despite gagging (often due to heavy semen deposits from hairy middle-aged dudes) at times, Penelope gulps them down including stringers smeared around her lower face. She even sucked cum clean off the cock if the boys were too stingy with their offering. For Penelope the cum-eating was closest thing to a feast for her in such a bad Spanish economy. She receives a thunderous applause at the end from appreciative but drained bukkake blasters.
