Foxy Megan Fox Traipsing Topless

Looks like the co-star of last summer's hit film, Transformers, has decided to shed her clothes and show some skin for her next film, titled Jennifer's Body.

It also appears that the aptly named Fox won't be showing her nipples, since she is sporting some pasties, but it definitely looks like she has increased the overall mass of her breasts somehow...silicone, perhaps?

Fox wouldn't be the first 'starlet' to get naked in order to advance her career, nor would she be the first on to get a boob job, but at least by covering her pink bits, she leaves herself somewhere to go from here in case more nudity is needed for a future career boost.

In the film, Megan will be playing the title character...a demonically possessed cheerleader who kills off the boys in her town. The script was written by Oscar winning former stripper, Diablo Cody, so that may explain the nudity. As for the rest....

Looks like Ms Fox has come a long way from her days of the one-line per episode 'hip' oldest child on the oh-so-saccharine schlock that was Hope & Faith.

Maybe the next time she doffs her togs on screen, it will be all the way.

Hayden Panettiere Flees From Giant Vulture Headed Geek

The Heroes star is actually on set in Vancouver, where she's shooting a new movie with director Chris Columbus, the man who made Home Alone, wrote Christmas With The Kranks, and even managed to discover America...or something like that.

The film, titled I Love You Beth Cooper, is about a nerdy high-school student who declares his love for the ubiquitous hot high school cheerleader that are in all of these teen flicks during his Valedictorian speech.

Ms. Panettiere stars as popular blonde Beth Cooper, and Paul Rust, the fellow sporting the noticeable nose, will be playing the nerd. Quelle Surprise...

Hayden Panettiere playing a hot teen cheerleader? That's quite the stretch. Good to see the pretty young actress is branching out and tackling complex roles. No word on whether she'll have a nude scene.

No matter how the film turns out, at least the people of Vancouver got to see Hayden's sexy legs up close and in person.

Lucky Canucks.

Masterful Minghella Mourned By Movie Lovers

Oscar winner and acclaimed director Anthony Minghella passed away in London on March 18th from what is being reported as a hemorrhage suffered after neck surgery.

Everyone will remeber him as the director of the hugely popular and wildly successful movie The English Patient, which won nine academy awards and became such a cultural force that it's appeal was even lampooned on Seinfeld, but Minghella has a fine list of other films attached to his name.

Recently, he produced the powerful drama Michael Clayton, along with The Interpreter, The Quiet American, and Iris. He also wrote and directed The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, which was nominated for five oscars. Law garnered an Oscar nomination as best supporting actor, while Minghella received a nomination for best adapted screenplay.

Just prior to his death he had completed work on The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, a TV pilot for an ongoing series set to air on British television.

Minghella brought a certain style and look to the cinema through his films, and often the look of them was very distinctive in their elegance and lush styles. Having started in the theatre, Minghella was a competent handler of actors, and could bring out their best qualities in even the smallest of roles. Regardless of how you feel about his films individually, (heaven knows I refuse to see The English Patient) you have to admit the man was extremely talented.

Minghella was 54 years old.
