The Producers Guild of America nominates their own kind (in the type of mutual masturbation Hollywood is famous for) for the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award each year. The cool news is that producer Kathleen Kennedy is nominated fof her work on the fantasy The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, while Emma Thomas is on the ballot for The Dark Knight. The PGA’s selections determine who gets an Oscar nomination. In case you were wondering,  462 voting producers pick their own nominees, out of only 5,810 total Academy members. They're all famous and rich, and full of B.S. which is why The Oscar always goes to some inanely boring or pretentious film. Kennedy's other genre credits include...

Horror actress and producer Brenna Lee Roth is desperate to get her current thriller film finished - so desperate that she's willing to sell her own skin as advertising space in order to raise the money!

"I have sold a 4"X4" section of skin on my back to Trojan condoms," she says. "Yeah that's right, I'm about to have a Trojan Condom Logo on my back for 12 months." With the film in dire straits while this wily producer is waiting for more funds, she's willing to go so far as to sell MORE of herself to other advertisers.

"I have 7 spots on my left arm, all 4"X4", available for sale. All are below my elbow." So we can see them, I suppose!

While Brenna may be crazy, she's not stupid, and all ads must be non-racist, with "no bad words, no boy parts" (in the off-chance Brenna will ever have to get a real job) and will run about 400$.

Is she serious? "Yes i am serious," insists Brenna. "I will bleed for this film." Literally! The synposis of her film is as follows...

Interview by Nic Brown

Jessica Harper takes her career seriously. As an actress she’s worked on stage and screen with everyone from Woody Allen to Steven Spielberg. She’s an award winning musician whose work includes many popular children’s music CDs, and to top it all off she’s a writer. For horror fans though, this versatile entertainer may be best remembered for her performance as Suzy Bannion, the young American dancer who travels to Europe to attend a ballet academy that she finds is run by witches, in Dario Argento’s chilling 1977 horror classic Suspiria. Now, thirty years later, Harper talks about her memories of the film, what it was like working with Dario Argento, her other successful work in music and literature, and why we may one day see her name on an election ballot...

Okay, 'honors' isn't the right word. Fans of TV's The Soup on E! will be pleased to know that the #1 clip on the Best of '08 Clip Countdown, aired last night, was this cheesy moment from VH1's reality horror/trampy slut show I Wanna Be a Scream Queen (and by scream queen I mean "My Vagina") in which hopeful boob-weilder Michelle Galdenzi... well... you'll see. Watch the clip below and think about how charismatically charming Joel McHale is before he starts doing bad second-rate independent dramedy films starring Ileanna Douglas that Greg Kinnear passed up...

 

In Eliza Dushku's new serial killer film The Alphabet Killer, she's got a brief topless scene that's causing a huge stir among fans of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Wrong Turn star. It's not really racy at all (I mean, compared to the nudity some of her contemporaries have done, not to mention Angelina Jolie who is a walking topless scene) but for some reason people are making a huge stink about it. It's not even sexual - she's just changing her shirt.

Eliza plays a cop tracking a serial killer whose work causes her to hallucinate and eventually lands her in a mental institution. The Alphabet Killer comes out on DVD January 6th. www.alphabetkiller.com Watch the 'racy' clip below and decide for yourself...
