Naples actor lands role - in the buff - on Starz series 'Magic City'

Michael Zaccheo appears as a "Drunk Businessman" in the season finale of Starz original series "Magic City." His episode airs 10 p.m., June 1. His production company, Moontouch Cinema, is in post-production on "Stuck," an independent romantic comedy written and directed by Neapolitan Mitch Glass. "Stuck" (shown above) filmed at various locations around Naples in mid-May and hopes to show at next year's Naples International Film Festival.

Michael Zaccheo is where a lot of men would like to be.
It's 1 a.m. on a gorgeous Miami night.
He's liquored up.
His pants are around his ankles.

Georgian beauty Elena Satine lies naked in bed.

And dozens of crew from TV show "Magic City" are crawling over them angling for the best shot.
The Naples actor nabbed a guest star spot the season finale of the Starz drama about the collision of commerce and the Mob in a glamorous Miami Beach hotel in 1959. The show, created by Mitch Glazer, stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Danny Huston; the episode, titled "Time and Tide," airs June 1.

While the actor has popped up as an extra in "The Glades," "Burn Notice" and movies like "Rock of Ages" and "Step Up 4," he likens his time on "Magic City" as wholly different.
Zaccheo plays an unnamed character known only as "Drunk Businessman" in the show. His character has "bed-slamming" sex with Satine's Judie Silva in a bungalow by the Miami River during a blowout bacchanal. Party-goers gather around to cheer on the pair before police bust up the party.

"There's like twenty to thirty guys from the party around the bed, glasses of Scotch and cigars," Zaccheo said. "They're throwing money at all over the bed."

He describes his journey from Naples to a double bed in a Miami bungalow as a "funny story," starting at the Burton and Robinson Agency in Fort Myers.
A coaching session in Fort Lauderdale arranged by his agent left Zaccheo's hair mussed and his clothes disheveled. He also left motivated and with some specific instructions.
"[The coach] goes 'when you leave here, you don't come out of character,'" Zaccheo recalls. "When I left there, I felt like was drunk driving out to the audition."
Zaccheo and five other potential "Drunk Gentlemen" walked into a poolside cabana for a casting session in front of Ed Bianchi, who was directing the episode, and Glazer.
Zaccheo was the only actor to remain in character. He burped, stumbled and asked for a drink.
"'Scuse me, anybody know where the vodka is?" Zaccheo remembers asking at the casting session.
Bianchi and Glazer exchanged a few words, dismissed the men and sent an assistant out to summon Zaccheo. "We want you," he remembers the girl saying.
While he had picked up a couple of episodes as an extra on "Magic City" before, this part came with his own trailer - just like the stars.
"I've got the artistic director knocking on my door asking 'Anything you need Mike, you let me know,'" Zaccheo said.
And just like the stars, there was a lot of waiting.
He arrived on set around 4 p.m.; cameras didn't start rolling on his scene until after midnight.

"Magic City" examines the intersection of money, the Mob and magnificent ambition in the Miami of the 1950s. For Zaccheo's scene, the show has various riverside bungalows set up as the various locations of a wild party. Craps tables in one spot, roulette in another, a liquor table over here and prostitutes over there.

This was the actor's first nude scene - and it came with a few surprises.

"Just before rehearsal, the artistic director comes back in and hands me this sock," Zaccheo laughs as he describes the "modesty pouch" used by male actors in nude scenes. "What? You want me to put it on now?"

The embarrassment didn't end there. Choreographing a nude scene (even on premium cable) requires the actors contort various body parts and show emotion without showing too much skin. For Zaccheo, it was an interesting learning process.

"It's a nude scene, there's a prostitute on her back," Zaccheo said. "I put my legs around her legs, the director is shouting 'no, no, no!'"

Once it came time to shoot, the fun still wasn't over.

"I go to pull my pants down," Zaccheo said, "there's a wardrobe malfunction and that sock falls off!"

He and Satine, who plays Judi Silva on the show, shot a total of six takes.

Zaccheo describes the nude scene as "easier than he thought," even thought there were 50-60 actors and assorted crew members surrounding he and Satine in the muggy Miami night.

"You get in the moment," he said. "You become that character. You forget that everybody is even there."

What's next for Zaccheo? His production company, Moontouch Cinema, is in post-production on "Stuck," an independent romantic comedy written and directed by Neapolitan Mitch Glass. "Stuck" filmed at various locations around Naples in mid-May and hopes to show at next year's Naples International Film Festival.

Zaccheo isn't sure how much of his scene will survive to air on the final cut of the episode, but he's sure of one thing. No one in the scene was wearing a lot of clothes.

"You're gonna see my hairy legs for sure!"

"Time and Tide," the season finale of Starz original series "Magic City," airs at 10 p.m., June 1. Go online to starz.com/originals/MagicCity or facebook.com/magiccity.starz for more information.

* One of Georgia's greatest export to U.S is confirmed naked in the season finale. 25-years old Elena Satine is a classically trained pianist with rumoured of I.Q above 140 and spent most of her summers in London, England, training extensively in classical Shakespearean acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Using all the skills she acquired to deliver a subtle performance in Magic City.....who the fuck I'm kidding! Praying it will be a full-frontal from the red-head (do the carpet match the drapes?).

[Update June 6 2012] - The scene was actually edited short for penultimate screening (Ep.7) but hopefully the boys in charge will restore it for the DVD release in late 2012.

Elena Satine Talks Sex Scenes and "Hooker Drinks"

According to eonline.com :
You know what's extra awesome about Maggie Grace (Lost) coming to Californication as a music groupie? Another groupie! And they live together! That's right, Faith (Grace) will have a very "enthusiastic" roommate in the new season who's also very into the rock-star crowd. Nothing can go wrong with two groupies living together, right?

* It seems like new season of Californication is shaping up as one of the best in terms of nudity. Wonder who will play Maggie room-mate?

Teacher With Porn Past Joked About Student Sex

Stacie Halas to challenge firing by school board

MAY 22--The California teacher fired last month after her former career as a porn actress was discovered by pupils and school administrators once spoke openly about her work as an educator in behind-the-scenes footage included in one of her X-rated films.
Stacie Halas, 31, worked as a science teacher at a public school in Oxnard, where the local school board voted unanimously to can her after learning that she had starred in an array of hardcore porn films (some of which were discovered online by her students at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School, where Halas began working in 2009).
In announcing Halas’s firing, school administrators spoke of their concern about disruptions that could result from her return to the classroom.
Halas has appealed the school board’s ruling and, as a result, will get a hearing before a three-member panel headed by an administrative law judge, according to Oxnard schools superintendent Jeff Chancer, who added that Halas remains on the district’s payroll.
Pictured at right, Halas filmed dozens of explicit films between 2005-2007, including one titled “No Cum Dodging Allowed #7.” The 2006 film, which shows Halas engaged with up to four men at a time, includes interview footage with her before action began at a private residence in California.
In the behind-the-scenes clip, Halas, who used the stage name “Tiffany Six,” is asked by the interviewer whether her film career was “risky.” “It is risky, very risky for me. ‘Cause I am a teacher,” answered Halas, who was then working at a California public school (where she was employed prior to her Oxnard teaching post).
When asked if she was worried about people learning of her explicit films, she answered, “A little bit.” As for why she did the pornos, Halas answered, “Money, and it’s fun, it’s exciting.”
The male interviewer, who was questioning a clothed Halas in a backyard, envisioned the day when her students learned of her X-rated canon. “You’ll see it on the young boys’s faces,” he said. While Halas laughed, she noted, “It’s a concern.”
When the man mentioned a teacher who got into trouble for engaging in sex acts with “young kids,” Halas laughed, “Well, at least I didn’t do the students.” She later added, “I have to say I’m not into the students, though. At least I don’t do that.” After the interviewer remarked that the teacher deserved a trophy (and called one boy's parents "the biggest cockblockers on earth" for reporting the abuse), Halas laughed heartily and said, “That’s awesome.”
Halas was then asked, “Do you think if they find out you’ll get fired?” She answered, “Questionable, probably.” The interviewer then asked if she had worked really hard to get her teaching post. “I did work really hard,” said Halas.
At the interview’s conclusion, Halas was asked what had brought her to porn. “I think it’s just the excitement, doing something different. That you’re not supposed to do, maybe. I don’t know. Kinda weird.” Halas is pictured at right in a screen grab from the video. 
Halas then is seen on the video’s following 45 minutes engaging in a wide variety of sexual acts with an assortment of actors, including one who uses the stage name “Arnold Schwartzenpecker.”

While Halas only appears in a small photo on the video’s cover, she has the cover to herself in the videos “Anal Cumsumption #5” and “Super Size My Snatch #2.” On “Girls Hunting Girls #10,” she shares the cover with two actresses, one of whom is Bree Olson, who subsequently gained notoriety as one of Charlie Sheen’s “goddesses.”

* Stacie @ Tiffany had a short stint in porn but she left quite a mark. Her best performance was in No Cum Dodging Allowed 7. 

Review of that scene:

Tiffany is a very pretty and sexy blonde with long hair and a nice set of natural breasts. She's sitting outdoors chatting with Mike John while dressed very nicely in a long sleeve white blouse with black slacks and heels, plus a white bra and white thong panties underneath. Tiffany heads indoors where she undresses before she starts blowing Tee Reel, Steve French and Steve Holmes. Along with sucking cock, Tiffany is fucked, has anal sex and is double penetrated. She licks Tee's asshole, she performs ATM and she is triple penetrated (mouth, ass and pussy).The men take turns jerking off and cumming into Tiffany's open mouth. Tiffany swallows all three loads together and feeds herself the cum that landed on her face. Tiffany begins blowing five more guys (most are white, but one guy is black). Tiffany sucks cock, her tits are fucked and her pussy is fingered. Dick Nasty fucks her tits and then positions himself between her legs and starts fucking her pussy, which Tiffany doesn't mind. Tiffany continues sucking cock as the men also take turns fucking her pussy in different positions (no anal). The men take turns jerking off and serving Tiffany their cum that she swallows. She feeds herself some of the cum that was on her face.

The most awkward sex scenes of the 2011-2012 TV season

It's been a pretty kinky year for TV.

Premium cable shows like HBO's "Girls" and "Game of Thrones" have set a high bar for awkward, explicit sex scenes, putting pressure on other networks to keep up their steaminess. And while the traditional networks can't get away with showing nudity, they've found their way around those pesky FCC regulations in a variety of bizarre and entertaining ways.

We've watched TV characters do it in the back of a car on top of a sandwich, next to a dead body and atop a Westeros-themed Risk table. Characters have been moved to spontaneous bouts of masturbation and doggy-style sex has gone hilariously awry. Poor Sally Draper walked in on her step-grandma going down on Roger Sterling. And "The Good Wife" triumphantly managed to depict a steamy lesbian sex scene with a mere off-screen hand movement.

All of the strange sex inspired HuffPost TV to fire up a supercut the TV sex scenes that made cringe and laugh uncomfortably since September. From "Mad Men" to "The Good Wife," "Girls" to "American Horror Story," enjoy some of the most awkward sex scenes TV had to offer this season.

Directors Fortnight Says It Must “Police Better” After Potential Pirates Halted

On a few separate occasions this week, I’ve heard of instances where Directors’ Fortnight screening attendees saw attempts made by audience members to film movies once the lights went down. In one scenario, a film industry exec tells me they saw a spectator almost blatantly pull a movie camera out of a knapsack and begin shooting the screen. The exec alerted security and the offender was admonished — but not removed from the room. In another instance, someone filming with a smartphone only stopped when loudly scolded. I’ve heard similar stories from others, so I asked the Cannes Film Festival sidebar today what was going on. I was told they haven’t experienced this problem before, but with new digital gadgets popping up all over the place, they agreed they “should police better.”
No film from Cannes has ever been pirated, fest honcho Thierry Frémaux assures me. How could they be? At the Lumière theater in the Palais, where all competition movies are screened, security guards watch from on high and see the whole room. And if they see a smartphone screen light up, they pounce. There are also security checks once you get inside the Palais — I’ve had my rudimentary digital camera confiscated and kept at coatcheck. Hell, you can’t even get a bottle of water into that theater.
The Fortnight is run by a separate organization than the festival, and its screenings take place in the basement of what used to be the Noga Hilton — now the JW Marriot, but it’s gone through so many name changes over the years it’s hard to keep track. Contrary to the festival’s official screenings, the Fortnight is open to the public as well as accredited festgoers. Unlike the Lumière cinema at the Palais, some areas of the Fortnight room are not easily surveyed by security, a Fortnight insider explains. But, the Fortnight has slightly different rules: The introductions of the films that precede screenings can be filmed, but afterwards, audience members are told to place their cameras at their feet. I’m told Fortnight artistic director Edouard Waintrop heard the same story I did about the person with the big camera and allowed that the sidebar has to be more vigilant. I understand the issue will be brought up in tomorrow morning’s daily staff meeting. Given that Cannes is one of the greatest champions of cinema in the world, one Fortnight insider muses, “If we’re not vigilant at Cannes, where would we be?”

'Pretty Little Liars' Ashley Benson Wants to be Anastasia Steele of 'Fifty Shades of Grey'

By Diadem Pambid | May 24, 2012

The erotica trilogy, "Fifty Shades of Grey" may be banned from over a hundred libraries in the US alone but the popularity of the novel continues to rise.
In fact, E.L. James BDSM-themed book has captured even more celebrity hearts. The newest one to date would be "Pretty Little Liars'" Ashley Benson who astonishingly wants to play Anastasia Steele.

Ashley Benson may strike viewers as the fun loving gal who can do absolutely no wrong. Yet, the "Pretty Little Liars'" star might not be all innocent and sweet in her upcoming film, "Spring Breakers".
Alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez, Ashley plays a group of college girls who rob a store for their spring break. The girls get into drugs, booze and smoke all the while flaunting their bikini bodies.
Well, it is obvious Ashley is incredibly talented at acting but can she handle a role that is border line between romantic and downright dirty? In an interview with Celebuzz, the blonde beauty surprisingly shared her interest in playing a role in a book that has got the world hooked. 
Benson is ready to take on an even sexier and edgier role. The role would be none other than Anastasia Steele of "Fifty Shades of Grey".
"I've read every book. I want to play Anastasia," said Ashley.
Fans of Ashley had been petitioning for her to play Kate instead who is Anna's best friend. Yet, Ashley has already got her eyes set on the role as Anna.
"Kate is awesome. I like all the characters but Anastasia? I love her so much!," exclaimed Benson.
By the looks of it, there is no changing Ashley Benson's decision. A few other actresses who seem to be interested to play the 21-year old blonde in "Fifty Shades" include "Twilight" actress, Kristen Stewart. Fans of a few A-list celebs have also petitioned their own cast choices for Anna of who are Amanda Seyfried, Emilia Clarke, Sasha Grey, Selena Gomez and Nina Dobrev.
Lionsgate has still not released any details or plans to push through with the film. However, this has not stopped fans of the novels from creating countless lists of potential actors and actresses to play the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

'50 Shades of Grey' For Busy Moms: The Only Parts You Need to Read

So 50 Shades of Grey is mommy porn, huh? Well, every mommy I know is entirely too busy to read through so much humdrum dialogue and description. If we wanted romantic dribble, we'd turn on a Lifetime movie. After all, aren't those lurid sex scenes the only reason we picked up the book anyway?
To speed things up, I uploaded the kinky tome to my e-reader and searched for a few key words (surprisingly there wasn't a "penis" in a single passage). This little trick helped me skip the foreplay and get straight to the passion. Here’s a cheat sheet on where to find the steamiest bits.

"breast" Pg. 104

"Very nice," he whispers appreciatively, and my nipples harden even more. He blows very gently on one as his hand moves to my other breast, and his thumb slowly rolls the end of my nipple elongating it. I groan, feeling the sweet sensation all the way to my groin...

"writhes" Pg. 214

He pinches me hard, and my body writhes convulsively against his front. I gasp at the acute pleasure/pain. I feel him against me. I moan and my hands clench in his hair pulling harder....

"pounding" Pg. 223

"I moan loudly. He moves, pounding into me, a fast, intense pace against my sore behind. The feeling is beyond exquisite, raw and debasing and mind-blowing...

"rhythm" Pg. 329

He slides his leg in between mine, pushing my feet father apart, widening my stance, and runs my hands over my sex, one hand at a time in turn, setting up a rhythm. It's so erotic. Truly I am a marionette and he is the master puppeteer...

 "spread" Pg. 371

I groan. Parting my legs, he cuffs first my right ankle and then my left so I am staked out, spread-eagled, and totally vulnerable to him....

Other tantalizing terms you should definitely try: "wet," "whip," and "ravaged."
