A quite loud chorus, soon to be drowned out by Mr. Smith's cackles as he laughs all the way to the bank. Which of you will see it? Which of you won't? Check out the reviews and weigh in, after the jump. More »

Hollywood Always Loves A Harlot
*Inspired by Shirley MacLaine's assertion that the best parts for actresses fall into one of the above categories
Los Angeles Times Oscar blogger Tom O'Neil catalogs the Academy Awards' "taste for tarts" today, listing a whopping 11 actresses who have won the little gold guy for portraying prostitutes, including Jane Fonda (Klute), Charlize Theron (Monster) and shockingly, homemaking idol Donna Reed (From Here to Eternity).And those are only the actresses who won an Oscar. Shirley MacLaine was nominated twice, (and lost twice), for playing a lady of the night in Some Came Running and Irma La Douce. And Nicole Kidman, Elizabeth Shue and Gloria Swanson were all nominated for playing pros and lost out. As was Julia Roberts, who was denied the Oscar in 1991 for Pretty Woman. Still, with the record of success of starlets playing streetwalkers, we guess that actress Anna Faris is onto something!

Reluctant Esquire Writer Admits That New "Sexiest Woman Alive" Is A Series Of Pretty Parts
"And I have to point out — despite my sensibility that wants not to offend women — that there is a lot of flesh. There are a lot of parts — tanned arms, even the tips of her fingers, when she jabs the air to make a point. I have to look. To set her up as a series of parts, and present her as a whole," laments writer Tom Chiarella as he grapples with tackling the subject of Esquire's (just-announced!) "Sexiest Woman Alive 2007", actress Charlize Theron. He even says as much to Charlize herself!But I'll just tell you that I hate describing women's bodies. What am I going to say? Stunning? Red-hot? Great eyes? Fucking wow?(Mr. Chiarella says that when he told Charlize that, she threw her head back, exposing her long neck to the world "with a kind of joy.") More »
