The Next Big Thing : 5 Things To Know About Actress  

Dreama Walker 

Julie Gerstein

Have you heard of Dreama Walker? If you haven’t you will soon. That’s because Dreama is the star of the new indie flick “Compliance,” where she stars as Becky, a fast food employee who unwittingly gets caught up in a prank call scam. Her performance is delicate, naturalistic and very, very good.
If you miss her in “Compliance” (which don’t — it’s definitely worth seeing), you can also catch her in the ABC sitcom “Don’t Trust The B— In Apartment 23,” and in the upcoming movies “The Kitchen” and “Chlorine.”
So what should you know about Dreama?

1. One of her first roles was playing Clint Eastwood’s granddaughter in “Gran Torino.” She said of the experience:

“I thought it was a glitch and some sort of mistake and I didn’t know how I got that part and I didn’t know why or how he wouldn’t have cast somebody that was more well known. But it was an extremely cool experience. He is just so easy and so wonderful to work with and for. His team, he uses the same crew essentially he has for the last 20 years and they’re just a machine, an amazing machine and it’s like 9 to 5 days. Everyone couldn’t be nicer and is just so efficient and good at their job. So it was a fantastic experience and of course he’s just a super cool dude. So that was awesome and I remember being like, ‘Well, this is it. This is over.’ My dad still is like, ‘Well, what’s going on now, Dreama? You should call up Clint and see if he’s got anything else.’ I’m like, ‘It doesn’t work like that, daddy. That’s not how it happens.‘”

2. She’s now on “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23,” but you better never call her a bitch. “As a woman, it’s certainly not my favorite word, but in this sense, (Chloe) is an assertive, super-get-ahead, take-charge woman,” Walker said of the show. “When women take on the role of a man, sometimes they’ll get called that word. Chloe puts herself first and she’s selfish, but it’s not meant to be bad at all.”

3. She spent a few seasons as a member of Blair Waldorf’s posse on “Gossip Girl.” From 2008-2009, Dreama played Hazel on the hit CW show, bouncing back and forth between being loyal to Blair and poor teen fashion designer Jenny Humphrey.

4. She was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for “Female Breakout Star.” For her role on “Don’t Trust The B—- in Apt. 23.”

5. She supports marriage equality. She was in a promotional video for the Human Rights Campaign’s Americans For Marriage Equality campaign.

“Hunted” Episode 1 Preview

Written by Connor Beaton

Hunted presents all the elements of an action-packed television thriller in its first half hour, then ends in a way that suggests something with more substance could soon emerge. Main character Samantha Hunter (Melissa George) is a ruthless agent working at the sort of intelligence firm whose existence would be a conspiracy theorist’s wet dream; her first job shows her undercover as an organised criminal’s girlfriend and being “assassinated” in front of him, giving her the opportunity to rescue a doctor he’s detained for torture. The procedure’s pulled off with as much finesse as in any big-budget blockbuster, but understandably these scenes aren’t the bulk of the first episode’s action.

Instead, we struggle with convoluted character dynamics; she’s assaulted by hired goons and suspects Aidan (Adam Rayner), her boyfriend and colleague, of selling her out. She then spends a year in isolation before returning for another undercover role, this time as an American school-teacher. She impresses an industrial mogul during a staged rescue scene to the extent that he hires her as his son’s live-in tutor, giving her many opportunities to spy on his movements. The first season of the programme will probably follow her in this role: there’s so much focus on character development in the latter half of the pilot that it wouldn’t surprise me to see the flashy moments abdicate and for dialogue-driven drama to take the lime-light.

While there’s a reasonable distribution of clichés in this pilot, unanswered questions from Sam’s childhood flashbacks and the challenging themes on which we briefly touch might make for more mature subject matter than one might expect from The X-Files’ former head writer, Frank Spotnitz. Even as part of her disguise, her protectiveness of her new ward demonstrates her pain from having lost a child. The pilot obviously doesn’t give too much away, but there’s a wide range of possibilities that can be explored here, and the “next time…” montage instilled a reasonable degree of confidence. The cast is talented and the premise is sound enough, but Hunted could really go either way from here. I’d keep an eye on it.

Ashley Benson's Pretty Little Interview
The 22-year-old starlet may be known for playing one of the prettiest liars on TV, but there’s much more to her than meets the eye.
Find out what Ash told us about her edgy new role in Spring Breakers 

JJJ: Earlier this year you wrapped up your upcoming movie, Spring Breakers, was it fun to branch out from your PLL character?
AB: Yeah, it was. It was such an awesome experience. It was very different from anything I’ve done, obviously. It’s more edgy and it’s a little bit darker and I just play an insane character, but it was fun because I always play the same characters throughout my career and this is one that I really invested time in. It was just a good script and to work with Harmony was awesome and the cast was amazing! It was really fun!

JJJ: Did you have a favorite scene to shoot?
AB: I think all the scenes were pretty fun. I got to carry a gun a lot, so doing a lot of the robbing scenes was probably the most fun.

JJJ: Are you more excited or nervous for people to see it?
AB: I’m really excited for people to see it. I think it’s going to shock a lot of people. My fans are generally teenagers or younger, so obviously a lot of them can’t see it, but the ones who do see it I think they’re going to really like it. It’s definitely a shocking movie, but it’s done in a really great way.

JJJ: Will you and the cast be going to the Venice Film Festival?
AB: Yeah, we’ll go to Venice at the end of this month for the film festival, then we go to the Toronto film festival, so we’re premiering it very soon. I can’t wait!

JJJ: Have you seen the film yet?
AB: I mean I’ve seen the movie and it’s absolutely amazing, but I can’t wait to see it with people around so I can see their reactions so I’m very excited!

JJJ: What did you, Selena Gomez, and Vanessa Hudgens do for fun when you weren’t working on SB?
AB: We were shooting in Florida and it was super boring. We were filming in a town that had a few places to go, but they were more for older people (laughs) so we would go to dinner and hang out in our hotel rooms and stuff. We didn’t really do much. We were working on weekends, so we didn’t get a lot of time off, we found this really cool vintage store that me and Vanessa went to a lot.

JJJ: Were you ever uncomfortable being a bathing suit so much for the flick?
AB: Yeah, I was super nervous before I got the movie I was worried about it. I talked to Harmony about it and he was like, “There’s no need to stress out. You guys are college students in the film and nobody has the perfect body!” Harmony really wanted us to look like we drank all the time and we partied, cuz that’s what they did, and he didn’t want us to have perfect bodies.

JJJ: It sounds like that took off a lot of the pressure.
AB: Yeah, so when I got to set I was a lot more comfortable. I mean any time you’re in a bathing suit you’re always self-conscious, because people comment and you know, but Harmony made us all feel really comfortable. What was also great was that me, Vanessa, Selena, and Rachel were all really comfortable with each other and nobody was commenting or trying to get super skinny. It was just a good group of girls to be around. We were all like, “We don’t care if we’re not perfect, and we’re not perfect.” It was nice.

JJJ: Were you friends with any of the girls before you started filming?
AB: Me and Selena were friends and I’ve known Vanessa for a really long time, but we never hung out much and then I met Rachel on set. In the movie it seems like we’ve known each other for years and we all got a long so well and it was like the funniest thing I’ve ever filmed. I mean, how close we got, it was so cool.

JJJ: We heard some rumors that you’re interested in playing Anastasia in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey! Is that true?
AB: Yeah, you know I’ve read all the books and I think it’s amazing series. It would be very difficult to play that role (laughs). I’d have to read the script and see how it is, but it’s going to be an awesome movie. It might be a little too much, but I’d just have to see how the script was.

Catherine Hardwicke's Erotic Thriller 'Plush' Finds Financing
IM Global's genre label Octane is putting up the money for the film, which stars Emily Browning, Xavier Samuel and Cam Gigandet.

Catherine Hardwicke began shooting her erotic thriller Plush in Los Angeles on Monday with a cast led by Emily Browning, Xavier Samuel and Cam Gigandet.

IM Global is financing the film through its genre label Octane. The company was already on board as international sales agent and sold the film to a number of foreign distributors during the Cannes Film Market in May.

Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity) is producing Plush, about a rising rock star who, after losing her bandmate and brother to a drug overdose, finds herself in a downwards spiral. After her second album proves a commerical disaster, she becomes involved with a replacement guitarist, and their relationship soon crosses the line sexually.
"We have a director and a producer with more than a billion dollars of box office under their belts and who have launched two of the most successful franchises of all time. Ally those credentials to a brilliantly twisting, erotic screenplay and a vibrant young cast, and we couldn't be more excited about the film's prospects," IM Global CEO Stuart Ford, who is executive producing the film alongside colleagues Steve Squillante and Michael Roban.

Octane's past credits include box office hits Paranormal Activity and Insidious. It has two genre films playing in the Midnight Madness Section of the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival: Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem and Barry Levinson's The Bay.
CAA is handling domestic rights to Plush.

NC-17 films: Why they got the rating

by Noelene Clark and Nardine Saad

 

'Midnight Cowboy' | 1969 | X

( United Artists )

Box office: $44,785,053

The only X-rated film to win an Academy Award for best picture, John Schlesinger's "Midnight Cowboy" (based on James Leo Herlihy's novel) starred then-newcomer Jon Voight, left, as a prostitute in New York City and Dustin Hoffman as his friend, an ailing thief.

"We felt the X rating was the correct rating for it," the film's producer Jerome Hellman told the L.A. Times in 1992. "X in those days did not mean pornography." After "Midnight Cowboy" won three Oscars (and was nominated for four more), it was re-rated R.

"The great thing about 'Midnight Cowboy' is that we didn't question what we were doing," Schlesinger told the Philadelphia Inquirer when the film was re-released in 1994. "We just did it with a total feeling of confidence and freedom. We didn't think, 'Oh, we're being very groundbreaking on this.' I just made the film the way I wanted to." 

 

'Last Tango in Paris' | 1973 | X

( United Artists / Associated Press )

Box office: $36 million, or $225 million today

Marlon Brando was nominated for an Oscar for his role as an American widower whose wife had committed suicide. Maria Schneider, a 1970s sexual icon, played a carefree Parisian engaged to marry a pompous young filmmaker. Brando's Paul and Schneider's Jeanne meet at an apartment for rent, have a quick sexual encounter and decide to meet there again for anonymous encounters -- they know nothing about each other, including each other's name. An explicit sex scene involving butter earned the film the X rating and was not part of the original script.

Critic Pauline Kael called it "a landmark in movie history" and critic Roger Ebert said it was "one of the great emotional experiences of our time," but the film was banned in a number of countries for its sexuality and nudity.

In her later years, Schneider expressed regret about appearing in the film, saying "I felt a little raped" by Marlon Brando and director Bernardo Bertolucci.

 

'Showgirls' | 1995 | NC-17

( Murray Close / United Artists )

Box office: $20,350,754

Controversy surrounded the opening of Paul Verhoeven's 1995 "Showgirls," the first NC-17 movie to be given wide release in mainstream theaters. The film, which was widely panned but has since become a cult favorite, starred Gina Gershon as Cristal, the star of a Las Vegas casino's topless show, and Elizabeth Berkley as Nomi (above), a new-in-town stripper who uses any means necessary to become a star showgirl.

"Showgirls" earned its MPAA rating for "nudity and erotic sexuality throughout, and for some graphic language and sexual violence," but Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan wrote in his review that all the hubbub was for naught: "First off, this nominally risque story ... has somehow managed to make extensive nudity exquisitely boring. Then it has bested some stiff competition to set new low standards for demeaning treatment of women on film. ... Of all the opportunities 'Showgirls' missed, the saddest one is the inability to make good use of its NC-17 rating by turning out a genuine piece of erotica or even good hearty trash."

 

'Storytelling' | 2002 | R

( John Clifford / Fine Line Features )

Box office: $921,445

The Todd Solondz film starring Selma Blair, John Goodman and Paul Giamatti is in two parts, one titled "Fiction" and the other "Non-Fiction." The former features Blair and centers on a college creative writing teacher who has affairs with his students. The latter deals with a high school student and his family as he applies for college. A scene involving Blair, above, and actor Robert Wisdom was initially considered too violent. Defenders of the MPAA noted that the number of thrusts was the decisive factor; critics asserted that the raters may have influenced by the fact that the sex was taking place between an older black man and a young white woman.

As it turned out, Solondz had a clause in his contract that allowed him to release the movie with the scene intact, providing enough black bars were placed over the anatomy to allow the revised film to receive an R.  

 

'The Dreamers' | 2003 | NC-17

( Severine Brigeot / Fox Searchlight )

Box office: $2,532,228

Bernardo Bertolucci -- the Italian director of the 1973 X-rated box office hit "Last Tango in Paris" -- enjoyed another success with 2003's arthouse drama "The Dreamers," which was rated NC-17 "for nudity and explicit sexuality." The film, based on Gilbert Adair's novel "The Holy Innocents," follows an American student (Michael Pitt, left) in Paris during the 1968 student riots. He falls in love and becomes sexually involved with a sister (Eva Green, right) and brother (Louis Garrel) who share an intimate, incestuous relationship.

 

'Young Adam' | 2004

( Neil Davidson / Sony Pictures Classics )

Box office: $767,373

David Mackenzie's bleak drama set in Scotland in the 1950s received an NC-17 rating for sexuality, nudity and language. Ewan McGregor (pictured, with Tilda Swinton) played Joe, an amoral drifter working on a canal barge owned by a married couple, Les and Ella (Peter Mullan and Swinton). After Joe and Les find the half-naked body of a young woman floating in the canal, Joe seduces Ella, and it becomes clear he may be involved in the woman's death.

The scene in which Swinton and McGregor's characters make love for the first time on a riverbank earned it the NC-17 rating. However, the actors were fully clothed, unlike other sex scenes that played out in the film. The point of contention was the duration of that scene, which includes McGregor's character engaging in oral sex with Swinton's character. The film has other sexually explicit scenes, including a sensual food fight between McGregor and costar Emily Mortimer, but the amount of time the oral sex scene lasted is what sent ratings board members over the edge.  

 

'Bad Education' | 2004 | NC-17

( Diego Lopez Calvin / Sony Pictures Classic )

Box office: $5,211,842

Despite the fact that this Sony Pictures Classics film came from international auteur Pedro Almodovar, theater owners and media outlets still opposed its release after its NC-17 rating for a scene of explicit sexual content. The Spanish film with English subtitles spanned multiple years and centered on a predatory transsexual named Ignacio who had been abused by a priest in school. The film tackles abuse and misconduct in the Catholic church and is laden with multiple sex scenes of implied pedophilia.

Times film reviewer Carina Chocano wrote: "'Bad Education' doesn't let anyone off the hook -- not the church, not the spiritually bereft cults of materialism and celebrity, not actors (they're liars), not directors (propagandists), not even his old friends, the scrappy outcasts. Maybe, by excluding them, Almodovar spares the women he's so often cast as heroes. Then again, he could be suggesting there's just no such thing anymore."  

 

'High Tension' | 2005 | NC-17

( Toni Salabasev / Lionsgate Films )

Box office: $3,681,066

Lionsgate chose to release Alexandre Aja's French horror film called "High Tension" as NC-17 instead of unrated during a brief 2004 renaissance of the rating. The story of two friends fighting off a killer (Philippe Nahon) in the French countryside has minimal dialogue after the opening segment -- perhaps only 10 minutes in all. The action is told from the vantage point of Marie (Cecile De France), who, having escaped from the man's clutches, is trying to save Alex (Maiwenn), whom the killer has kidnapped. Some of the more violent scenes were trimmed -- though not removed.

"We feel it's important to establish a legitimate adult rating," said Tom Ortenberg, president of Lions Gate Releasing. "If the MPAA won't do it, we'll do it for them. By refusing to use its tremendous lobbying power to lean on newspapers and theaters [resistant to showing or promoting NC-17 material], the organization has marginalized the designation."

The film was originally rated NC-17 in the U.S. for strong graphic violence. But a few graphic shots were cut from the final version and it was later given an R rating, but the NC-17 version was still shown in some theaters. 

 

'Blue Valentine' | 2010 | R

( The Weinstein Company )

Box office: $9,706,328

When the MPAA handed Derek Cianfrance's romantic drama "Blue Valentine" an NC-17 rating for an oral sex scene containing no nudity, the director immediately pointed out a double standard; earlier that year, "Black Swan," which contained an oral sex scene of equal duration, received an R rating.

"I don't have an answer for why that movie ["Black Swan"] would be OK and ours wouldn't," Cianfrance said at the time, calling the NC-17 rating "a form of censorship." "There's not an ounce of skin, and it's not gratuitous in any way. I'm confused and baffled."

Eventually, an MPAA appeals board overturned the rating, downgrading it to an R, and the film earned Michelle Williams, left, an Oscar nod. 

 

'Shame' | 2011 | NC-17

( Fox Searchlight )

Box office: $3,909,002

Steve McQueen's Golden Globe-nominated film follows a sex addict (played by Michael Fassbender, right) struggling to find emotional connection. The MPAA gave "Shame" the NC-17 marker for "some explicit sexual content," but some critics speculated that the film's exploration of the dark nature of addiction also factored heavily into the rating.

"Recorded in explicit but never pornographic detail, this is some of the most joyless sex ever put on screen, a compulsion to climax in which emotional connection plays no part," Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan wrote in his review. "It's the fixation of a tortured individual aghast at the self-destructiveness of his addiction but unable to change his actions or escape the shame they cause."

 

'Killer Joe' | 2012 | NC-17

( LD Entertainment )

Box office: $431,200

William Friedkin, best known for directing "The French Connection" and "The Exorcist," attempted a comeback with "Killer Joe," an ultra-violent film starring Matthew McConaughey, above, as a hit man hired by a man (Emile Hirsch) to kill his mother for the insurance money. The movie earned its MPAA NC-17 rating for "graphic, disturbing content involving violence and sexuality and a scene of brutality."

In the film's opening scene, Gina Gershon's character opens the door wearing only "a shirt and a snarl," writes Los Angeles Times critic Betsy Sharkey in her review of the film. "That sets the tone of all that follows. It is also one of the full-frontal shots that helped earn 'Killer Joe' its NC-17 rating, along with a good deal of extreme violence, though I'd bet the sexually twisted subtext is what sealed the NC deal."

Doubting the woman: Paoli Dam in Chatrak

by Amitava Nag | September 26th, 2011

French auteur Jean Luc Godard once quipped, “Cinema doesn’t query the beauty of the woman, it only doubts her heart”. Can we replace ‘Cinema’ with ‘Society’ here? Molly Haskell argued in her ground-breaking From Reverence to Rape: The treatment of women in the Movies (1974)–”Film reflects the ideological and social construction of women who are either revered as the virgin or reviled (as the whore).”

From time immemorial, the patriarchal society marks the meaning and the importance of the female in her association with the male. This lack of identification has been central in the prevalent phallo-centric society which perceives ‘male’ as physically and symbolically dominant over ‘female’. So it never comes as a surprise that a woman who is beautiful, confident and desiring will be trampled aside by an unprepared society.

The entire preamble is with respect to a small video clip which was on youtube for sometime, ripped off the site pretty hastily but ensuring that flocks of people got the chance to treasure it in their personal chest. The clip in question here is from the film Chatrak (Mushroom, 2011) by the Sri-Lankan director Vimukthi Jayasundara. The clip depicts oral sex between Paoli and her co-star where she as the character is the pleasure seeker instead of being the giver.

There had been a flurry of debates – in the newspapers, on the web, to the extent that at least 5 of my friends who happened to be middle-class educated Bengalis whispered over phone or in real – “Paoli Dam er porno ta dekhechho? Na thakle debo, ache amar kachhe” (in English it means “Have you seen the porno of Paoli Dam? If you don’t have I can give, I have it”). Interestingly the advertent friend-list included members of both the genders. It was rather interesting as to how inexplicably worried they are about the actress, Paoli Dam in this case – “what is she upto? Ruining her image for some Sri-Lankan director?” Few suggested that they are fine if it is in a ‘foren’ movie with ‘gora’ actors in it!

So where does it all fall through? I happened to read one of the crudest interviews of Paoli last week in a leading Bengali daily on this where she was repeatedly asked by the dumb-ass reporter if she considers this as a porno act or not. This is quite funny, if cinema is to entertain and if pornography does entertain a big section of the ‘normal’ populace then who cares?

It is probably the nostalgia-overdosed Bengali psyche which is still trying to find comfort in its sepia slumber – so much so that the realities of life hits hard. Paoli is an intelligent actress, Bengal’s face to world cinema – her range of portrayals is unparallel and beyond question. She is sensible enough to realize that had it been a rape scene of equal or even more exposition of the female body, then also it could have been logically justified (though the physical representation would have still raised issues – remember Seema Biswas in Sekhar Kapoor’s Bandit Queen); but the Bengali middle-class just cannot digest a naked woman almost demanding sexual pleasure and favour from her partner on screen.

The controversy and explicit nature of the particular scene will ensure that the film will be heavily censored in India – probably the festival circuit will get to see it in full. Hence, the film is successful in creating the necessary hoopla to sail it across – whether this publicity was intended or not still remain doubtful though.

Paoli Dam as an actress will be having the Bengali middle-class eating out of her palms now. She threw them a challenge – ‘you have been fantasizing for so long for my mute body and now I shed off the last thread for you, your fantasies are dampened by the specificity of the bare physical torso’.

The clumsy mind of the society at large should retreat and bow to Paoli, the soul of the ‘woman’ remains as ever – untouched. 

Paoli Dam fits nearly all the criteria of actresses performing their first nude scene in order to rejunavate their career, challenging themselves artistically and accepting more diverse options previously ignored out of fear and rejections by loved ones from conservative-minded background.

Already a latecomer to the mainstream movie industry in 2007 after long stint on tele-serials - Paoli was 30 and stucked working in regional Bengali flicks (with possible exception of minor critical hit Kaalbela) while the capital of Bollywood : Mumbai seemed a distant dream.

The bold move to accept the role of Chatrak @ Mushrooms (2011) is not without precedent in case of Paoli. She was supposed to do her first frontal scene in Italo Spinelli Gangor but quit when the male lead Irrfan Khan drops out and the nude scene in the script seemed forced to Paoli. She was replaced by Priyanka Bose who goes on to bare her tits for the first time on-screen.

But it was tame compared to what Paoli does in Chatrak. Words like 'provocative' and 'scandalous' seems like an understatement. It was graphic but at the same time very tastefully shot by director Vimukthi Jayasundara himself. Paoli publicly stated she have no inhibitions in playing bold roles and she walk the talk when Sri Lankan Vimukthi came calling offering her the female lead.

A mutual trust quickly developed between the pair. Paoli was quick enough to send out press bites how much she is enjoying every bit of her shooting sequences with Vimukthi. She claimed he knows very well how to extract the best from his actors.

Paoli admitted after the famous scene she did not know how to prepare for the scene because nobody from Bollywood or Tollywood has done anything like this and she had no frame of reference to work from. She goes on to say that she spent a lot of time with the director Vimukthi. "We discussed the film as a whole and then zeroed in on the intimate scenes. It is a political comment which goes much beyond the oral sex portrayed in it. I have complete faith in my director and that is why I did it," she adds.

Her parents aren't complaining of her choices either.
"My parents and friends are very happy about it. I have been bought up as an individual and my parents respect my decision (to do bold films). I have my own individuality and, besides, I am an actress," she said.

What about the lucky dude Anubrata Basu? He was branded a porn star by the media but he goes fuck it and went even further in Gandu (2010) receiving a blowjob from Rii. He is very much in demand. India is changing albeit at a slow pace but it's a liberal transformation we should welcome with open arms.

Let's get back to the scene and in Paoli's own words :
"It’s a full nude scene and I have done it because I was convinced that the scene is required to take the story forward. It isn’t there just to titillate. Incidentally my character’s name too is Paoli in the film! Now Paoli’s boyfriend (Sudip Mukherjee) lives far away and to fill the vacuum she gets physically involved with a young guy (Anubrata)... and indulges in oral sex!"
"I was completely nude. So was my co-star and in the scene the girl is getting all the pleasure! The scene involves love, sex and pleasure. But I must admit that it was difficult for me. The fact that nobody from Tollywood or Bollywood has ever done something like this and I had no reference point. I didn’t know how to prepare for the scene."
"My parents were worried first but I know they wouldn’t mind because they are far more liberal than I am! We live together but each of us in the family— Ma, Baba and Bhai— are very independent. They know my struggles. Being a dusky actress I had to struggle hard because Tollywood still prefers fair-skinned actresses."

Will you go nude again for a film?
"Depends on who the director is, why the scene is important and whether I am convinced but like I have always said, anything for cinema."
The discussion between Paoli and the director is followed by latter with Anubrata Basu. Paoli was lucky enough to be orally serviced for real but there was few do's and don'ts to make sure everything goes smoothly. It was strictly tongue-on-pussy and no fondling of the tits. Sucking on them is out of question. Paoli wanted the cam on her expression as it flitted from awkwardness to utter enjoyment of being eaten. It was incredible to watch and you can sense she was not faking it. It would been great if the director allowed Paoli to orgasm before cutting away. 

The scene starts with Paoli totally naked in the bed. She was on her back looking calm and relaxed. Basu strips off, takes her money and kneels between her legs. He kisses her inner thighs before settling on the fuck box. The cheeky dude kissed his way to her love mounds only to be pushed back by Paoli before he can suck on her tits. She was in control. But he was still a man and managed to squeeze hard Paoli's melons quickly before she can forced his hand away. Basu alternates between tonguing deep into her pussy and flicking his tongue out like a snake. Paoli's wetness goes into Basu mouth and straight down the gullet. She was on throes of ecstasy gripping Basu hair in vise-like grip. Her whole body was trembling with pleasure. Basu goes for another quick breasts press but Paoli slaps him away. It ends abruptly but still one of the best mainstream movie sex scenes of 2011.

Starz's future a bellwether for premium cable

Bizzers, Wall Streeters speculate about company's post-spinoff fate

By Cynthia Littleton

Starz has beefed up its roster of original series with dramas including Kelsey Grammer starrer “Boss.” But movies remain the cornerstone of the cabler.

What's in the cards for Starz?

After its separation from parent company Liberty Media is complete, the fate of Starz will be a bellwether of how Wall Streeters and media moguls view the long-term prospects of the premium cable biz.

Liberty confirmed earlier this month what many long suspected: the Starz-Encore collection of 17 channels will be separated from the rest of Liberty's assets into a stand-alone entity with a separate stock. The move was immediately seen as John Malone hanging the "for sale" sign on the company, as the spinoff, which should be finalized by the end of the year, will make it much easier for prospective suitors to acquire the company, which also encompasses distrib Anchor Bay.

The insta-speculation about who may be interested in Starz was telling in and of itself. Google, Netflix, Amazon and the nascent Verizon-Redbox joint venture are on the list of nine likely contenders offered by respected media biz analyst Richard Greenfield of BTIG Research, along with the usual suspects: Comcast-NBCUniversal, Disney, Time Warner, CBS and News Corp.

Interest in Starz from the digital heavyweights would be no surprise as they are all investing mightily in building up on-demand programming platforms to compete with traditional multichannel video providers.

A Starz purchase would amount to pocket change for Google, with its considerable resources. Starz has been valued at around $2 billion-$2.5 billion, with revenue in 2011 of $1.6 billion and operating income of $424 million.

But scouting the field of potential buyers raises the question of what Starz is exactly. Its value stems from the channels' broad distribution on major cable systems and satcasters DirecTV and Dish Network, and its movie output deals with Disney and Sony Pictures. Starz's six channels have 20.7 million subscribers; the Encore group counts 34.2 million.

The carriage pacts that Starz relies on to generate its subscriber revenue could be imperiled if Starz was scooped up by an entity that cablers and satcasters see as a threat. Liberty noted in its second quarter earnings report that 58% of Starz revenue for the quarter came from its three largest distributors: Comcast, DirecTV and Dish Network. And Starz is also facing the expiration of carriage deals by year's end with distribs that account for 19% of its revenue (one of which is believed to be Time Warner Cable).

Although Starz has significantly increased its investment in original programming, new theatrical releases remain a crucial piece of the programming mix for premium cablers. Movies are more important to Starz than to HBO or Showtime because Starz doesn't have the same bench of original series as its older rivals (Starz launched in 1994). Liberty recruited former HBO topper Chris Albrecht in 2010 to ramp up originals with edgy drama series such as "Boss," which just bowed its second season. Albrecht has spent a lot of time streamlining operations finding innovative ways to fund productions that Starz can also license overseas.

But when it comes to movies, Starz's pipeline is unpredictable. Its existing pact with Disney covers pics released through 2015; the Sony deal runs through 2016. That's not a long time at a moment when the market for movie rights deals is in flux -- just look at Epix, the 4-year-old pay TV partnership of Viacom, Lionsgate and MGM. The Epix partners were saved by an output deal inked with Netflix Netflix at a moment when the latter was desperate for fresh, high-end content.

Interestingly, News Corp. appears to have voted with its feet by inking a 10-year extension earlier this month of 20th Century Fox's output deal with HBO. That move, which came a week after Liberty made the Starz split announcement, makes no sense if News Corp. had any designs on adding a pay TV cluster to its cable assets.

Given that Time Warner already has HBO and CBS Corp. has Showtime, BTIG's Greenfield calls NBCUniversal the "ideal buyer" for Starz, as it has the cable heft from Comcast and U's supply of pics.

On paper it makes sense, especially with Starz having little debt and steady cash flow, but Brian Roberts may have other ideas. After all, Liberty has made it clear that it's pushing Starz out of the nest to free up cash for its dogged pursuit of Sirius XM Satellite Radio and Live Nation. John Malone's shift in focus away from the maturing premium cable market may give other media CEOs pause before they pounce.

TOP TEN TITTAYS!

Posted by Jesse Andrew

I recently had the pleasure of sucking on a natural tit as opposed to my ex-girlfriend’s manmade parts, and I have to say—there really is nothing sweeter than a good old-fashioned titty made from scratch.

Nothing but cum and egg and mama’s genes! No silicone, saline, or any other weird solutions. A real titty feels more intimate, as if closer connected, whereas a fake tit puts out the whore vibe. By default, dudes don’t take women with fake tits seriously. No one wants to admit it, but chicks with fake tits are viewed as whores because it was whores that first invented them—women such as Anna Nicole Smith, Pamela Anderson, and whatever bitch Ice-T is fucking (plus all those hoes in Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’” video). But this isn’t a stab at my ex-girlfriend or whatever woman reading this with unnatural breasts; I’m only writing the unspoken truth. Even though Nik Richie and his vast army of followers would highly disagree (but they’re all kooks, anyway), most men prefer natural tits.
And with that I present the top ten best natural tits list!


10. Miranda Kerr. Look at those delicious bite-sized nuggets! Yum! Yum!! Did you just cum in your pants? Me, too. Can you imagine coming home from work to find these perky little mits jumping up and down on the bed while Miranda is chanting, “FUCK ME! FUCK ME!! FUCK ME!” She’s been holed-up indoors all day on Facebook and you’re FINALLY fucking home to fuck her brains out and then spoon on the couch watching Louie. Why can’t this dream come true for me?


9. Anne Hathaway. Sometimes a dude wants a big ol’ mouthful of titty. These are the kind of tits we like to suck up in our mouths and then stretch away from her chest as if trying to pull off her nipples. How can these pillows not turn any gay man straight? Maybe I would better understand homosexuality if men had tits because without boobies sex is bullshit. We can fuck ’em, cum on ’em, squeeze ’em, and try to cram the entire things in our mouths. Big tits are awesome! This picture is taken from the movie Brokeback Mountain and wasted on a man who would rather be sucking on another dude’s asshole.


8. Miley Cyrus. Yes, I know. I’m a skeevy little perv, but fuck you. Nineteen-year-old tits are like the fountain of youth and taste so fucking good in your mouth it could bring any dead man back to life. I’m serious. Dig up Tupac, let Miley put one of her tiny tits in his mouth, and the dude will come back to life (but only for 24 hours.) Those are the rules of 19-year-old tits. The same goes if she farts in your mouth.


7. Phoebe Cates. “I know how hot you think I am, Brad.” Remember that shit? The dude was jerking off in the bathroom to these perky tits and so was every man watching. I’ve blown many a young teenager load to these Fast Times at Ridgemont High movie tits. I bet they taste like Hawaiian Tropic coconut suntanning lotion. I’m having a strange urge to kiss on her belly button, but this is about tits, so let’s focus on that.


6. Amy Smart. These are the kind of tits that make a dude cum in minutes. Blond hair, perky tits, and morning-after-partying-all-night sex. You tried to fuck her the night before but were too wasted, and now staring at these gems in the morning sunlight is enough to make your balls barf in seconds. What is it about blondes and little trailer-park tits that we love so much? It’s like fucking your cousin; it’s disgusting, but we love it. This woman could fuck me every morning for the rest of my life and I’d still never last longer than a Doritos commercial.


5. Rosario Dawson. These are those National Geographic titties we grew up watching on television and then tried to replay on the backs of our eyelids while jerking off in bed. You don’t know whether to suck on ‘em or tackle the bitch before she eats you or something. These are cannibalistic tits. Be careful.


4. Nicole Eggert. You have to admire a woman who says no to big-ass retarded breast implants. These are tiny surfer-girl, Southern California, Huntington Beach, perky tits all the nerdy boogie-boarders jerk off to every night. I know because I was once one of them. Kelly Slater was on Baywatch and played Nicole’s boyfriend, which means I’m sure he sucked on these twice before switching to the man-made rocks on Pamela Anderson’s chest. What a dumbass. PS: Any woman named Nicole with tiny tits is worth fucking 300 times.


3. Madchen Amick. Did you ever watch Twin Peaks? If not, than you probably have no idea who this chick is, but peep her dark Hershey’s Kisses nipple tits! I bet they actually taste like chocolate, too. These are those foreign-country titties you come across while backpacking through Germany and spend all night sucking on knowing damn well you’ll never see her again. That’s why they taste so good.


2. Alyssa Milano. Look at these beautiful things! I enjoy a bigger areola because it puts off a vibe of maturity as if she takes it in the ass and she’s been doing so since you were a little boy playing dress-up in your mom’s closet. These tits are down to be abused and squeezed so fucking hard she screams and then cums two pints of thick pussy juice on your crotch. Wow, that one kind of got away from me at the end. I’m horny now. Good job, Alyssa!


1. Kelly Preston. Good Lord. Put a workout headband in this woman’s hair and my balls will go off like a nuclear bomb leaving a mushroom cloud through the ceiling. It’s too bad these things are wasted on John Travolta because clearly that dude is gay and holds zero interest in licking these soft beautiful tits until his tongue falls off. These are the kind of tits that taste so warm in your mouth it actually tricks your brain into thinking she’s melting.
And that’s a wrap! Does everyone have a boner now? No of course not, we’re grown, but at 14 years old this list would have had my cock harder than your girlfriend’s nipples on payday.

Wrapping Up with Nude Photography

Self taught German photographer Klaus Kampert is no stranger to the female form as his work boast amazingly beautiful and tasteful female nudes. His main interest is people-photography, focussing on beauty, portrait, nudes and dance. Although his site is filled with great work, I pulled these shots from his “Wrapped” series because of it’s use of a simple length of fabric to create unique poses.
Photographer : Klaus Kampert
Model : Keira Grant

“My work is mainly concerned with the human body. Still, I do not consider my images to be classic nudes or erotic photography, although these genres may have an impact on my work.”

“I am not interested in showing beauty as an outward phenomenon.Rather I would like to present the human being as a whole:
Body and mind united.”

“By picturing nakedness in an image, it is to reveal mind and emotion, not only showing the body as such.”

“Among my models especially the ballet dancers are those who succeed in expressing this wholeness in a particular manner. Their bodies bespeak the constant pursuit of beauty, grace, achievement and perfection.”

“It is my intention and my passion to display this to the viewer.”
