Jenny McCarthy. More fun to look at than watch? Quite possibly. Her movie Dirty Love won three Razzies. The damn thing barely took in over 58 grand. Now that’s gotta be bad. I’ve actually been there from the start of McCarthy’s career, having been a subcriber to Playboy at the time when she made her debut as a Playmate (and actually looked much cuter and of course hadn’t had her tits redone, along with everything else). Imagine my surprise then when she started popping up on TV and then landed her own show on MTV. I remember her being billed somewhere as “the new Lucille Ball.” Uh huh. Then she was in that ad for Candies shoes that featured her sitting on the toilet that won favor with no one. And she’s been cranking out a crappy career consistently ever since. So why do some people find her entertaining? You got me, although the message board entries defending her on IMDB are pretty damn funny.

OK, so this isn’t technically “Hollywood” related, but it must be shared. When it comes to sexual fetishes, the Japanese are downright scary a lot of times. Whilst browising through the good old Portal of Evil today, I stumbled across Summer Torso, a Japanese site with loads of wacky pictures of female manneqins that are supposed to be quadruple amputees in various costumes and situations. There’s also plenty of bad anime pictures with the same type of crap as well as what looks to be real, but I hope to God are Photoshopped photos of amputee models looking all “sexy.” Needless to say this site is Not Safe For Work, but my mind boggles every time I think I’ve seen it all from our Japanese friends. And to tie it in to our central theme here, I suppose it’s only a matter of time before the J-Horror movie genre starts incorporating this kind of weirdness for export to be remade into American flicks starring Naomi Watts (but I prefer her with all her limbs, thank you).

There was a time when I enjoyed looking at Tyra Banks like any other dude. Notice I said looking at. Ever since her leap to TV stardom on “America’s Next Top Model” and “The Tyra Banks Show,” I can’t enjoy this woman anymore. Every time she opens her mouth, it’s just a reason to quickly change the channel. Fans of her talk show, though, will be thrilled to know that Tyra recently became a stripper for one of the show’s upcoming episodes. Of course, she’s not giving it all up as she has to keep her modicum of dignity that she always bandies about. Sez Tyra,

“When I found out the majority of business is from males from married homes, I wanted to go inside the minds of the men who frequent these clubs. I wanted to see and hear why they went. And the only way to do that was to go undercover and see for myself.”

I can tell you why they go. A)They love naked women. B)They love boobies. C)They’re dudes!

Honestly, I’ve never been to a strip club myself, probably because at the time my pals were going to them, I was still living down in TN and the clubs down there…oh my. I like my gals to have all their teeth.
