Rock of Ages gets an Extended Cut
Musical film with Tom Cruise longer and rated R
In the last couple of weeks, Tom Cruise made a lot of headlines with his private life and not with his movies. In the latter category, he wasn't that successful either. His current film Rock of Ages did not pull in the big crowds and gained sobering 37 million Dollars despite having a 75M budget.
To increase sales with the upcoming home video releases, Warner Home Entertainment will release an Extended Cut of the movie, which will be a little raunchier as one can see when looking at the MPAA rating.
While the theatrical cut got a PG-13 (for sexual content, suggestive dancing, some heavy drinking, and language), the Extended Cut will be rated R.
Rock Of Ages: Extended Cut - Rated R for some sexual content.
EDITED VERSION. CONTENT IS DIFFERENT FROM PG-13 RATED VERSION, BULLETIN NO. 2221 (5/2/12).
Even though there's no official announcement by Warner yet, the last years showed that it's quite safe to assume that the prolonged version of Rock of Ages might be released on Blu-ray only.
* The best news of the day so far. Looking forward to this scene. Mormon derriere wriggling inches away from Tom Cruise face. Lucky dude!

I Swear It Wasn't Me..
Ashley Hinshaw, whom you may remember from the film Chronicle, plays the title character in About Cherry. The extended edition of Chronicle actually features footage of Ashley topless holding her breasts. There is also a deleted scene of Ashley holding her breasts again in a different room. Both clips can be found on Mr. Skin.Ashley Hinshaw’s first nude scene is when Cherry poses for nude photos. Although there should be a lot of nudity during this scene, we only get a few brief glimpses of Ashley’s breasts from the side as she is lying on a couch.
The next nude scene is Cherry’s first porn shoot — a solo scene. Ashley is dressed as a school girl and we see her topless from the front for a few seconds as she stands in front of a desk, teasing the camera. We then see a little more of Ashley’s breasts as she is lying on the desk touching herself. This scene was in the uncut trailer and is only slightly longer here.
Last is Cherry’s first boy-girl shoot. This scene is pretty long and intercut with another scene. We see more of Ashley’s breasts from the side and sort of overhead too. We also see the side of Ashley’s ass as she is getting banged missionary style. Later, we only see a bit of Ashley’s areola as she showers after the shoot.
In the original script, Cherry comes out of the shower and drops her towel as she is talking with someone but this scene is not in the movie. There are also other scenes in the script with nudity that have been removed or edited so there is no longer any nudity. The first is when Cherry gets out of bed with her first boyfriend and he recommends she take photos. Another modified scene is when Cherry strips and admires herself in front of a mirror at home. And lastly when someone looks at photos of Cherry and another girl playing with each other.
As a bonus surprise, Diane Farr might also have a nude scene. Diane lowers her pants and props herself up against the left wall as she forces Heather Graham to go down on her. The scene is dark and shot pretty far away so its possible Diane was wearing a merkin or thong of some sort. Diane then throws Heather to the floor and starts fingerbanging her. There is lots of jiggling action from Heather and we can see the top of Diane’s ass, and it does indeed look like she’s bottomless.
At the end of the film, there is another porn shoot with another newcomer but we can’t recall the name of the actress or whether she got naked or not.
About Cherry is available on demand on August 9 and also comes to theaters on September 21. We saw this several months ago at SFIFF (when it was named Cherry) so some details may be off.
Indiana's sweet-heart Ashley Hinshaw is part of the ensemble cast in Dennis Iliadis's Plus One in a movie filled with sexy hot blondes. But she will be a brunette in the movie - playing Jill who loves to dance seductively and flirts with her friends BF's. No shocker there. Expect nudity being a Iliadis flick and all.

Double Take : Dominik Garcia – Lorido
Miami has fallen hard for television’s sultry new drama Magic City, and we’re having a full-on love affair with the show’s ruthless maid.
A Miami native of Cuban descent, Dominik Garcia- Lorido ventures from Los Angeles back to the familiar streets of South Beach to play Cuban maid Mercedes Lazaro. She might be perfect on paper for this role, but she’s used to striking out on type-casted auditions. “They don’t think I look Latin enough,” she laughed. “Anytime that I’ve been called in for the stereotypical Latina, they tell me to leave.”
The irony is that the qualities that play against her when auditioning for Latin characters are actually what landed her the role in Magic City. “I’m 5’9.” I’m fair skinned. I have no accent. I have a low voice. All these things are what Mitch [Glazer] liked. I am who I am,” she said. The brunette beauty was an instant favorite, and the rest came with ease.
But it hasn’t always been so simple. At 20 years old Garcia-Lorido took to her own devices and dropped out of UCLA to pursue her acting career. The years that followed led her to the silver screen in films The Lost City, La Linea and City Island alongside her father, award-winning actor Andy Garcia. “We separate the father-daughter thing when we’re working together,” she said. “He’s great to work with; he’s a really good director and a great acting partner.”
And she immediately dismisses all preconceived notions of special treatment or entitlement, proving that she’s paved her own path. “If that really affected my career then I would [have been] doing major movies ten years ago,” she said. “I’m 28. This is my ninth pilot television season. For me it makes no difference, no difference at all.”
Yes, eight pilot seasons later, Garcia-Lorido struck gold with Magic City. To think, she initially approached the role of Mercy with trepidation. “I just heard Cuban maid and it didn’t really attract me. I don’t want to play a stereotype,” she said. “But then I read the script and it was not like that at all.”
Set in the late 1950s following the turbulent times of the Cuban Revolution, the story unfolds in the enchanting city of Miami Beach. Garcia-Lorido plays a strong-willed 21-year old maid working at the ritzy Miramar Playa Hotel, which her father manages. With big dreams and even bigger plans for her future, Mercy is thrown off track when she falls for Danny Evans (Christian Cooke).
Playing the role of an ambitious 21-year old took Garcia-Lorido back to an esoteric place where she herself had already been out of school for one year. While everyone her age was focusing on one thing, her mind and her ambitions were elsewhere, lending Garcia-Lorido insight into her character. “That’s a hard place to be in, when you feel like you can’t really relate to other people around you and you’re marching to the beat of your own drum,” she said. “Especially in 1959 when it was rare for a girl to venture out of her comfort zone and be independent and travel the world instead of focusing on settling down.”
So in preparation for the role of Mercy, Garcia- Lorido needn’t go further than back to her roots. “I have definitely gained some perspective on this time in someone’s life; I remember and relate to her. I didn’t really feel like I had to look outside myself—I just had to tap into my young Dominik to connect things.”
The dynamic link between Garcia-Lorido and her character set the tone for a season full of mutual evolution. Mercy’s sheltered upbringing resonates with the starlet, making it easy to draw parallels, referencing cultural background and traditions instilled since childhood that, while not always visible to the naked eye, make up much of who she is. “Jewelry is a big thing to me, so that was something that the costume designer and I collaborated on,” she said. “I wore the gold bangles, a watch, a ring and the little gold earrings. Even when Mercy was working I wanted her to keep her jewelry on.”
“My dad’s very old fashioned,” she continued. “That father-daughter dynamic on the show is pretty relatable for a young, Cuban-Catholic girl too.”
So the world did a double take when Mercy stripped down for a racy scene in the season finale of Magic City. The episode closed the season with a new experience for Mercy, and, subsequently, for Garcia-Lorido. Though she had originally included a no-nudity clause in her contract, the actress had a take-no-prisoners approach when it was time for this game-changing shower scene. “We had a lot of meetings about the way we were going to shoot it. That was something that I made an exception for, something I thought was really necessary for the story line,” she said. “It was very tastefully done. I didn’t use a body double. I feel weird with someone else representing my body, so it’s all me.”
The sexy scene pushed the limits of Garcia-Lorido’s character and career past the quintessential conservative Cuban and into a new realm of risks and possibilities. And just as her character’s behavior challenged her father’s conventional views, the actress broke barriers of her own. “Ironically, that was the only episode that I watched with [my parents],” she laughed. “Actually their reaction was good, they thought it was tastefully done. They loved the scene and they totally supported it.”
Through all the intricate details that demand authenticity from the series, there’s one aspect in particular that Garcia-Lorido credits as the most important for Magic City’s success: the location. “The fact that we actually film in Miami [is what] brings even more authenticity to the show because I think that’s really the central character of the show,” she said. “It’s the city.”
“You really breathe differently in that type of air,” she continued. “It’s just that kind of atmosphere. I think if we shot it somewhere else, it would just take us out of it.”
The actress has deep ties to the city she was born in, and even though her life is rooted on the West Coast, Garcia- Lorido’s visits south will always hit close to home. “I have a lot of friends and cousins in Miami,” she said. “You know what I miss in LA that we don’t have? Boat days. I think the water life is really unique to Miami; you don’t really have that in any other place.”
With the second season of Magic City already secured, Garcia-Lorido is returning to the city she so loves with an appetite to push her boundaries even further. “I just hope to continue to work and challenge myself, and never get into a comfort zone,” she said. “I hope I am always taking risks.”
And she’s not looking back.
* Good girl. Mitch Glazer and Kelly Lynch deserves credit as well in persuading the sexy Latina to go for it. Next : titties show. She is evolving and adapting quickly to the rigors and demands of the industry. Pity the parents still cocooning her from emerging into full glory of artistic expression. Magic City second season starts shooting later this week.
It's just the latest personal milestone for Paquin, who's expecting a baby with her "True Blood" co-star and husband Stephen Moyer. Rumor has it the two might even be expecting a set of twins.
Either way, the mom-to-be is "glowing," Deborah Ann Woll, who portrays the vampy Jessica on HBO's addictive show, said to E! Online. "She's so happy to become a mom."
On August 5, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" will air, and it's going to be an action-packed episode. Lilith is still very much a problem, and Eric seems to be the only one against what she has planned. Will he be able to stop it? Then there's Sookie, who will still be looking into her parents' deaths and the vampire responsible. It was her blood that lured the killer in and even though she's not at fault, that doesn't mean it's not affecting her. But will she narrow in on the vampire who killed her parents in this episode? With everyone else busy with their own problems, it seems like she's on her own—and with her powers static-y, she could be facing trouble.
Jason will be doing his own investigating in this episode as the search for those responsible for killing the supernatural creatures will continue. Will he and Andy take them down soon before someone they know ends up dead? Finally, there's also whatever's going on with Arlene, Terry, and Patrick to note. The preview for "Somebody That I Used to Know" shows that they'll be holding a séance, but will that storyline have a tragic ending? Since the episode synopsis does describe her as getting caught in their crossfire, it is possible that she could end up in the middle where she doesn't want to be—and possibly injured or even dead because of it.
"Gone, Gone, Gone" will air on August 12, and things are going to get much worse. Will Eric be able to keep resisting Nora's attempts to get him on her side? What will this "mysterious scroll" Jason finds be connected to? Will it have anything to do with Sookie and her abilities? Russell is still around, and you have to worry about what this "higher calling" he's looking for means for everyone around him. Then there's the fact that Sam and Luna will be looking for Emma. They left her in her grandmother's care, but it looks like they may regret doing that, even though it was the safest place for her at the time.

Double Take : Dominik Garcia – Lorido

Playboy's First Indian Cover Girl Is Open to Porn
Ankur Pathak in Mumbai 
Sherlyn shares her Playboy experience with Ankur Pathak in an exclusive interview.
How was the entire experience at the Playboy mansion?
It was really too good to be true! The entire environment was so exciting and liberating and full of creative energies. The staff, the girls, the photo shoot team and above all the ultimate Playboy, Mr Hefner, were all very kind and affectionate.
Tell us about the photo shoot.
It was a five-day shoot which took place outside the mansion at a beautiful villa. I was asked to not pose in the nude but just feel different kinds of emotions. The team was phenomenal. The photographer, Sasha, and I bonded quite effortlessly which made things very comfortable for me. As it is, I'm the most comfortable being nude.
There have been a lot of speculation over how you landed the Playboy deal. You insist that you didn't sleep with Hefner but aren't all Playmates required to?
I got what I wanted. Let me assure you that Mr Hefner is the most decent man I've ever met in my whole life.

I got what I wanted. Let me assure you that Mr Hefner is the most decent man I've ever met in my whole life.
When was the first time you met Hefner and how exactly did they come to know about you?I wrote to Mr Hefner with my interests in May and I arrived in Los Angeles at the Playboy mansion in July. I was told that the creative team had done a thorough search on me on the internet.
Was there any money involved?
I would have done it even without a pay cheque. But they did insist on money, and the pay cheque was an icing on the cake.
What exactly did you mean when you said that your father must be proud?
I believe stripping nude for an iconic adult magazine is no less than setting oneself free from rigid social conventions. Had my father been alive, he would have been super proud to see me create history by being the first Indian to have shot for Playboy.
So is that the agenda behind this exercise? Did you want to be the first Indian on the cover and garner all the publicity, or does being nude make you feel liberated in general?
There's no hidden agenda as such. I wanted to be the first one to do it and I went ahead and did it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would love to do it again and again and again.
My sole agenda is to constantly break stereotypes. Pushing the envelope gives me a great high!

My sole agenda is to constantly break stereotypes. Pushing the envelope gives me a great high!
What is the best comment you have received for the Playboy photo shoot?
One member of the team who was a part of the shoot told me that my sensuality is not superficial but comes from within my core. I think that is what I considered the most flattering compliment as it isn't just about revealing your body but the erotica should translate in a sensuous manner.
Do you think there are any other actresses in Bollywood who can dare to pose for Playboy like you did? Of course yes! Indians are not coy anymore.
Are you a Playboy reader or do you enjoy reading erotica in general?
I love the art of erotica! More than watching or reading erotica, I enjoy displaying it.
Can you name one Bollywood actor who you would like to see naked on the cover of a magazine?
There are quite a few hotties in Bollywood who are very photogenic and have beautiful curvaceous bodies. So, picking just one name would be unfair.
What about your personal life? Has Sherlyn Chopra ever been in love?
I feel truly blessed for my life. Yes, I have been in love. Yes, I've had relationships which now I think I could easily do without. The day I find my soul mate, I would take the initiative to propose to him/her and you will know for sure.
Do you feel this will boost your Bollywood career in any way?
If it does, great! If it doesn't, I shall be happy to pack my bags and move to LA.
What do you think of Sunny Leonne, the Indo-Canadian porn star who is making her Bollywood debut with Jism 2?
I'm very proud of her.
What would you like to tell the actresses who refuse to even don a bikini for a film?
Nothing. However, I believe that when one has a fabulous body, one is most often than not at ease with it.
Where do you go from here? Are you open to working in an adult film?
I'm open to all kinds of excellent work opportunities. Adult films have a huge market, so why not?
Who have been Sherlyn Chopra's role models? Personalities who you continue to seek inspiration from?
Madonna is my ultimate role model. And more recently, girls such as Lady Gaga and Rihanna who have a distinctive sense of individuality.

Ambyr Childers - Interview - Aldo Rossi - 2012
Ambyr Childers styled by David Thomas for Interview Magazine. Photographed by Aldo Rossi. 2012. Dress: Louis Vuitton. Skirt: Ports 1961. Bracelet: Cartier.
A month before graduating high school in 2006, Ambyr Childers gave up a scholarship to play golf at the University of California, Riverside, for the role of bratty teen Colby Chandler on All My Children. She spent nearly two years on the show, exploring car theft, a pregnancy scare, and the consequences of crashing your father's yacht. It's not exactly the training one would expect to be helpful in landing a part in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, the director's closely guarded follow-up to There Will Be Blood (2007) about a religion founded in the 1950s that is "not Scientology," starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as the titular master and Joaquin Phoenix as his close disciple. Childers won the role of Hoffman's brash daughter Elizabeth. "I did not believe I was doing the movie until after the first take, until I knew it was locked down," admits the 23-year-old Childers one afternoon in April at a café in Los Angeles's Studio City, having just left an audition for Martin Scorsese's stockbroker drama The Wolf of Wall Street. Clearly she has been busy—she plays a Hollywood ingénue in another of the year's most sought-after showcases, director Ruben Fleischer's L.A. mafia period drama Gangster Squad, and recently shot the Showtime pilot Ray Donovan, about a Hollywood fixer (Liev Schreiber), in which she plays a tortured Britney Spears-type who needs plenty of fixing. "It's so weird," says Childers. "I've been thinking about it all day. Who knew that in 2012 I would be auditioning for the dream cast or the dream director?" Even in her personal life Childers hasn't wasted much time—she's already the mother of a 2-year-old daughter named London with her husband, film producer Randall Emmett. When asked about her striking resemblance to another of Hollywood's busy actress-mothers, Reese Witherspoon, she gladly takes the compliment. "She looks like she has balls," Childers says. "And you definitely have to have balls in this male-driven industry."

EXCLUSIVE: HBO has picked up to pilot Hello Ladies, a comedy co-written, directed by and starring Stephen Merchant. The project, which The Office co-creator co-wrote with former Office writer-producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, stars the 6ft 7in Merchant as a gawky Englishman searching for the woman of his dreams in Los Angeles. Half as charming as he thinks he is — and twice as desperate — he’s obsessed with infiltrating the glamorous world of beautiful people. Unfortunately the beautiful people won’t let him in. Merchant, who also explored the theme in his Hello Ladies standup show last year, Eisenberg and Stupnitsky are executive producing the pilot, which is slated to shoot before the end of the year. HBO is producing in association with ABC Studios where Eisenberg and Stupnitsky are under an overall deal. On the feature side, Eisenberg and Stupnitsky, repped by WME and Mosaic, co-wrote box-office hit Bad Teacher. Writer/actor/standup comedian Merchant is best known for his collaborations with Ricky Gervais. The duo co-created The Office, Extras and Life’s Too Short, the last two co-produced and airing in the U.S. on HBO. Additionally, WME-repped Merchant co-starred opposite Gervais on Extras. In addition to Hello Ladies, HBO has Charles Randolph’s Cold War spy drama pilot.________________________________________________

First Image Of Saoirse Ronan in How I Live Now (2013)
As she’s only 18 years-old, Saoirse Ronan has a guaranteed career in front of her – and from the looks of things, it could be a long and successful one. We’ve seen recent pictures of her filming THE HOST, but she’s found time in her schedule to star in another teen-book-to-screen film HOW I LIVE NOW.
The image doesn’t give a lot away (apart from the fact that, with the blonde hair, she looks like Emma Stone) but some details of the plot have emerged. Ronan plays Daisy, a New Yorker who goes to visit her English cousins and, while in England, World War Three breaks out. Directed by Kevin Macdonald (THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, STATE OF PLAY, LIFE IN A DAY, MARLEY), the story has been taken from the novel (of the same name) written by Meg Rosoff.As for the other cast members, Macdonald has said that Ronan is the only ‘major name’ in the list and that there are ‘two or three adult scenes’ but the rest are made up with brand new child/teenage actors. Personally, I think this is a good idea as you can’t keep using the same names over and over, unless they want to be typecast. Ronan was brilliant in ATONEMENT (2007) and THE LOVELY BONES (2009) – which were both book adaptations – so she’ll fit this role perfectly.
HOW I LIVE NOW is currently filming.
* I will cut my balls off if Miss Ronan is still a nudity virgin by the time she turns 21 or 22. The wild and unpredictable Irishness in her will be too strong to resist. She will be compelled to strip at some point. It's truly liberating my young gorgeous wan.

Rupesh Paul going to direct Kamasutra 3D
As the Indian Cinema is celebrating its centenary in 2013, ‘Kamasutra’ – the greatest of its sacred texts on the art of love and love making, the one enigmatic factor that made India known to the world, is going 3D. Though the same name has already been used by film makers of different leagues and schools till date, this is for the first time ‘Kamasutra’ is going to be made in the pure backdrop of history, getting to the viewers the three dimensional feel of the 14th century India and its sacred arts of sex and sex play. The movie has been announced at Cannes Film Festival 2012, by Rupesh Paul- the director of the movie, after the premiere of his Hollywood movie, Saint Dracula 3D, at the festival. The lead actress is newcomer Neeharika Soti.
The film will also star UK actors like Danny Shayler, Bill Hutchens, Anna Passe and a handful of Bollywood stars, whose names will be revealed soon. The makers are planning to shoot the movie in France, Italy, UK and India.
With the 2011 movie, 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, the newest instalment of the Sex and Zen series, world cinema has now realized that, not only crime thrillers and war movies, but erotica can also be an appropriate genre, to be presented in three dimension. Kamasutra 3D would be the first part of the ‘Kamasutra trilogy’ and the second and third parts would be in 4D and in 5D, respectively, said the director.
The cast would include foreigners as well as stars from the Indian film industry and the auditions are being held, he briefed. The shoot is scheduled to begin on the 15th of June. The technical crew would consist of the best 3D personnel from the United Kingdom. The movie will be shot in France, Italy, United Kingdom, Indian sets, et cetera. The movie is going to be a French-Indian co production, under the banner of Rupesh Paul Productions Limited (RPPL). The movie is already registered with the Motion Pictures Association of America as well as the Screenwriters Guild of America.
According to Mr.Rupesh, he was initially taken aback the mixed reactions he got while approaching various actors for the casting purposes. While a few of them gave him a cold shoulder, branding it as graphic porn, the majority of the very reputed artists whom he approached, appreciated the bold idea. It is speculated that a handful of the vary famous and senior artists from Bollywood would be doing major roles in the movie. The
names are yet to be announced.
Responding to many a trepidations regarding the movie, the director asserts that Kamasutra 3D wouldn't be a replication of "Sex and Zen" or similar movies, but would be one strongly footed in Indian culture and values. Yet, there wouldn't be any compromises made in the movie regarding creative nudity or boldness, to appease the moral police, declares Rupesh Paul.
The movie would commence shooting on the 15th of June, in various locations across the globe. A massive crew, with a good share of foreign cinema technicians, is all set for the making of this erotic drama.
Synopsis :
In all her godly beauty and bursting youth, a young Indian Princess sets out for a voyage across the oceans, in search of her husband whom she got married to, as a child. Amidst the extravaganzas of the most luxurious ship in the world, she goes through the most personal and transformative changes of body, mind and soul. An enigmatic fellow passenger – the god of good looks and the ‘Kamasutra’ master- introduces her to the forbidden world of sexual love and sensuality. The ship becomes the stage for many a dramatic moments. A mystery unfolds, that changes their lives for ever. Will love triumph over all odds? Or will it be destiny?

'Kamasutra 3D' in legal tangles
The shoot of Rupesh Paul's next, Kamasutra in 3D, which boasts of an impressive Bollywood star cast and a high degree of technical excellence, has been stalled owing to legal issues.
The law states that no film scene involving frontal nudity should be shot within Indian borders, and a criminal case can be charged against actors (not the makers or producers) involved in the shoot.
"I don't want any actor in my film to get into trouble because of this issue. For the same reason, we will be moving parts of the shoot to locations in France or Italy. The shoot is likely to begin again in October," says Rupesh, adding, "There have been instances wherein actors involved in such films are threatened from different quarters, mostly by communal forces. Even people from within the film industry target them and they could be forced to back out of the project," says Rupesh, and adds that Kamasutra is a $3 million project and he simply cannot afford any hitches.
However, he adds that they will have issues with authenticity when it comes to shooting certain scenes that should have ideally been shot in Lucknow and Rajput. "It would be next to impossible to recreate such locations elsewhere," he says.
Not the first time...
Meera Nair's 1996 film, Kama Sutra, also faced the same issue and the director had to produce proof to show that the film had been shot in a foreign country
What the law says...
The law of penalising an actor involved in a nude scene exists only in India. It is no crime to shoot such scenes in places like Europe. Since Kamasutra is going to be distributed by the Motion Picture Association of America, it needs to be passed only by the Censor Board in the US. For screening in India, there will be a second censoring by the Indian Censor Board, where any scenes which have objectionable content will be removed.
