Jessica Biel's Stripper Moves in 'Powder Blue'

4 April 2009 8:13 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Yesterday around this time, we showed you the latest trailer for Powder Blue, the long-awaited movie in which Jessica Biel plays a stripper. The movie won't get a huge theatrical push, debuting later this month in a few cities before pushing its resources towards the DVD release.

Obviously, if you have a movie that can in any way be described with the words "Jessica Biel" and "stripper," the DVD market is probably the way to go. To help plant the seed that this Holy Grail of celebrity skin is on the way, the film was recently promoted on Access Hollywood. It goes without saying that this is a fairly tame video, because when has anything associated with Mario Lopez been anything other than tame?

Having said that, if you would be at all interested in seeing Jessica Biel train to play a stripper, then why are you still reading?

Smirnoff Sues Texas Restaurant

1 February 2009 5:25 PM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Dancing With The Stars world champion dancer Karina Smirnoff has filed suit against a Texas restaurant for allegedly failing to pay her appearance fees. The Ukrainian star - who has partnered with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and R&B star Mario on the U.S. reality TV competition - allegedly made an agreement with San Antonio's Panchito's Restaurant for $6,000 (£4,285) to appear at a benefit on 3 January for infant health charity March of Dimes.

Smirnoff's attorney Michael Miller says, "They said, 'It wasn't a very good business deal on our part. We didn't make any money on it, so we don't have any money to pay her."

Restaurant bosses reportedly deny making a financial agreement.

An attorney representing the firm's owner has declined to comment.

Mario Lopez who? Karina Smirnoff, "Dancing with the Stars" alum and former girlfriend of Lopez, is engaged to fellow "Dwts" star Maksim Chmerkovskiy. There's sure going to be a lot pressure to make that first dance as man and wife a good one.According to People, the couple got engaged on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas after less than six months of dating. That sentence alone contains three warning signs that this may not have been the most well thought out decision. It was New Year's Eve, so the alcohol was likely flowing. They were in Vegas, so they were likely feeling wacky and spontaneous. And they've known each other for less than six ...
