june stiffs.
Stop! Stiff time!
And this months column appears to be packed full of movies, comics and porn.
No change there then.
First up is Viveka Babajee, ex Miss Mauritius World 1993 and Miss Mauritius Universe 1994, best known for her KamaSutra condom advertisements and for her involvement in the 1994 Metro Manila Film Festival scandal (tho' not the one involving the severed arms of construction workers....I think).
Also last month we lost the goldest (and hottest) of those golden girls, Rue McClanahan as well as porn star cum (in mah mooth) and latterly murder suspect Stephen Clancy Hill, who clumsily fell off a cliff.
Talking of falling of things (but this time for comedic effect) Viana Júnior, the Brazilian comedian actor, best known for his character Apolônio, the sidekick of A Velha Surda (The Old Deaf Woman) on the hit teevee show A Praça É Nossa licked his lips one last time as did the star of Operation: Mystery, Silver Mask, Kikaider 01, Himitsu Sentai Goranger and Ultraman Mebius & Ultraman Brothers, the fantastic Norio Ikeda.
Sticking with cinema June also saw the death of the director of the classics Ozhukkinethire and Sphotanam, P. G. Viswambharan.
The world of the comic book lost one of it's greatest last month too with the death of the legendary Al Williamson, who work on everything from Secret Agent X-9, Star Wars, Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Spider-Girl. His biggest claim to fame tho' was when he once criticised my inking style in a convention toilet.
Or was that Archie Goodwin?
But the saddest news last month was the passing of Chris Sievey, the musician and comedy genius better know as Frank Sidebottom.
From us all I'd like to say a huge "Thank you."

Rosenblatt Stadium
Rosenblatt Stadium saw the greats during College World Series run
rosenblatt stadium
rosenblatt stadium
OMAHA — Rosenblatt Stadium filled up early Tuesday evening for what could have been the final College World Series game played on the iconic field that has hosted the tournament for the last 61 years. More than 23,000 fans were taking no chance at missing the final act in Rosenblatt's long-running drama.
A South Carolina victory would complete a two-game sweep of UCLA in the championship finals and make a Game 3 Wednesday unnecessary. Next year the competition moves 3 miles uptown to the new $128 million TD Ameritrade Park.
The minor league Omaha Royals will play the rest of their season at Rosenblatt, and the United Football League Omaha Hawks will hold games there in the fall. But eventually the stadium will be razed to provide parking for the nearby Henry Doorly Zoo.
That lent a bittersweet feeling to this year's competition, particularly for the coaches of the eight teams who survived regional and super regional play. The thrill of advancing to the college game's ultimate stage was tempered by the reality they would never return to Omaha's "Diamond on the Hill."
As teams were eliminated and coaches went through their final postgame interviews, they reflected on what Rosenblatt has meant to them and to baseball:
•Jack Leggett, who captained the 1976 University of Maine team that reached the CWS and led Clemson here six times: "There is no better championship; there is no better place than Rosenblatt. ... It just keeps getting better and better. It's every bit what I built it up to be for our players. There will be another awesome situation in a new stadium, and I hope we can be one of those teams that plays in the last games at Rosenblatt and the first games at the new stadium."
•Jim Schlossnagle, who brought TCU to its first World Series this season: "Every single day at Rosenblatt was like life stopped. You didn't care about anything else. I told our players there are no bad days in Omaha. They have a big challenge ahead of them to replicate everything about this place at the new stadium, but I'm sure they'll do it."
•Mike Martin, who coached his son at Rosenblatt while bringing Florida State to Omaha 14 times: "It was an unbelievable experience for our young men to be out here and participate in Rosenblatt's last year. They will always know they were here for the last time around. For me, it was different to walk off that field for the last time. Rosenblatt will always be Rosenblatt — there will never be another place like it."
•Sunny Golloway, an assistant on the 1994 Oklahoma national title team who brought the Sooners back for the first time in 15 years: "I told our players they will remember this forever. We're going to remember the lighting, the opening ceremony, the warm welcome. Knowing the great tradition of Rosenblatt Stadium, we were truly blessed to be here for this final season."

Shelter Island National Guardsman Joseph Theinert killed in Afghanistan
shelter island
A National Guard soldier from Shelter Island serving active duty in Afghanistan was killed on Friday by a roadside bomb while on foot patrol.
Lt. Joseph Theinert, 24, was on his first deployment tour overseas.
He had volunteered for a program that allows Guard members to serve three years on active duty prior to returning to a local Guard unit.
Theinert, who completed the ROTC program at SUNY Albany, is survived by his mother, Chrystyna Kestler; father, James Theinert; and brothers Jim, 22, and Billy, 25.
"His life was based on service; it truly was," Kestler said. "It's such a family tragedy, and a community loss."
His mother described him as selfless, humble, and brave - and a mischievous child, but never malicious.
Friends and family members from Shelter Island, where he graduated from high school, have come together, she said.

"We haven't had to plan a thing. The community has taken care of everything."
She recalled that just before he was deployed to Afghanistan, his brother "Jimbo" asked Theinert if he was frightened to go. Her son, who had wanted to serve his country since he was a little boy, was not scared, she said. He replied that he was "born for it."
Kyle Boller
Kyle Boller: Carrie Prejean Boyfriend
kyle boller
Quarterback Kyle Boller is Carrie Prejean boyfriend, actually after this weekend you can call him her husband. I have your attention now right because you are wondering who the heck would marry Prejean, well never fear I am here to tell you all about Kyle which of course includes some pictures and a video of this hottie.
The hunky football player Kyle Boller is Carrie Prejean’s boyfriend but only for a little while longer as the two are rumored to be tying the knot this weekend in San Diego. Kyle and Carrie became engaged in February after a year and a half of dating. It is interesting timing given the fact that Kyle will be vying for a spot as back up quarterback with the Oakland Raiders when training camp begins. Certainly hope the wedding doesn’t distract him this may be his last chance to keep playing.
If you aren’t a huge football fan you probably haven’t heard much about Boller. Let me tell you about him. The Burbank, California born and raised Kyle was born to play football. He proved he was a force to be reckoned with during his days at William S. Hart High School, he was even the California State Player in 1998. Boller at one time was compared to the great John Elway during his school days. Kyle spent his college years playing for University of California.
Carrie Prejean
Boller was the first round draft pick for the Baltimore Ravens in 2003, however his first season was cut short when he was injured in the thigh during the ninth game of the season. He made a great recovery and started in all games during his second season with the team. In fact he had career highs during that season. During his third season with Ravens he was yet again injured, this time it was turf toe that put him on the can not play list for seven games. Kyle fully recovered from his injuries and went on to play for the Ravens until 2009. He continued to try and prove himself despite rarely being the starting QB.
In 2009 Kyle became a free agent and signed with my favorite team the St. Louis Rams. Unfortunately for the Boller the Rams were a disaster during that season and he was unable to make any sort of lasting impression. After his disastrous year with the Rams Kyle recently signed with the Oakland Raiders.
Kyle Boller may be Carrie Prejean boyfriend or future husband but he is clearly more than that, he is a football player who has worked hard to have a career in the sport he loves.

Cycle helmets, Ibuprofen, Jammie Dodgers, and, er, cocktails. Three mums set off on ...a wheely big adventure
These three ladies joined over 1,000 riders taking part in the 216-mile Co-operation Ireland Belfast to Dublin Maracycle at the weekend. Kerry McKittrick finds out how they got on
A Friday night in Belfast and three busy mums are preparing for the weekend. The usual bustle of wrapping presents for weekend birthday parties is accompanied by the frantic packing for a scouting weekend. As well as this the ladies are putting together their own bags: cleats, cycling helmets, bananas and figs rolls, and Ibuprofen.
Fionnula Mann, Christine Nagle and Maura Corey have been pounding pavements together for six years. They have all run marathons and taken part in running competitions.
However, 10 weeks ago when Fionnula’s husband Simon suggested they try a different sort of challenge, the ladies hung up their trainers and climbed on their bikes to train for the Co-operation Ireland Belfast to Dublin Maracycle. The maracycle was a two-day event last Saturday and Sunday with more than 1,000 cyclists pedalling from Belfast to Dublin and returning along the same route the next day.
The trail took in Moira, Banbridge and Drogheda and finished at Dublin City University. In total the cyclists covered a distance of 216 miles, a mammoth challenge for the trio as none of them had any cycling experience.
Saturday, June 26
Fionnula says:
8am — We set off from Queen’s PEC in Belfast. It was a slow start as cyclists were waved off in groups of 100 to avoid crashes. The whole event was very well organised.
10am — Arrived at Banbridge for refuelling after 27.5 miles. The weather was warm but cloudy — thunder has been forecast but it didn't happen. There were more women at this race as a lot of cycling clubs were taking part. We had cups of tea with bananas and fig rolls.
12.20pm — 60 miles done as we arrived at Castlebellingham and the legs started to get sore. We stopped for lunch of Ibuprofen washed down by a sandwich and coffee. Very hot weather and I needed to have my tyres pumped up by a fellow competitor.
5pm — Finished at the Dublin City University campus. There was a delay at the university as we had to wait for a police escort to take us into the city.
Fiona says:
We’re tired but glad that we finished. The last 20 miles of the route were utterly brutal as it was very hilly which meant it was simply exhausting. We managed to average a speed of 15 miles an hour which is exactly what we wanted to do so we finished the course in seven hours. We’re all dreading tomorrow but at least the hill part is at the beginning next time instead of the end.
There is dinner laid on at the hotel but we’re heading into town after a long hot shower for some pasta and a glass of wine before we do it all over again tomorrow.
Sunday, June 27
8am — There was a smaller number of people on the second day because some were only doing one way and others dropped out. We were given the same police escort to Dublin Airport then we were away.
9.30am — We had an early stop at Lisnea after 14 miles. It was just before the hills so we refuelled on fig rolls and Jammie Dodgers. The weather was nice again and we had a tailwind this time which helped.
12.30pm — We stopped for lunch at 40 miles but it was at the top of a hill so you had to work to get your food.
3.30pm — The last bit was really the worst for me but arriving at Banbridge meant the finishing line was nearly in sight.
5pm — Finish at Queen’s PEC. The same timings as the day before.
Fionnula says:
We’re all so proud of ourselves and feel a tremendous sense of achievement — we felt it even after the first day. I’m quite surprised I managed to do it and now that it's all over I think I would prefer to do that than run a marathon. We took ourselves for a cocktail on Stephen’s Green on Saturday night and kept going over what we had done. The second day was the hardest — psychologically — before we got going. I just kept thinking about those hills but I think because I was prepared for them the second time round they were easier.
Many people were pushing their bikes up the hills but we didn’t and we stuck to our average of 15 miles an hour.
I have to say I thought the whole event was very well organised and marshalled brilliantly by both the PSNI and the Garda. The roads were one of the things I was concerned about before the Maracycle. We were looked after very well though.
I found the camaraderie of the whole event was brilliant. We pulled over to get a drink of water at one stage and three of the motorbike escorts asked us if we were ok. The atmosphere of the whole event was fabulous — it was all about the taking part and not the end result. I still can't believe we did it.
Fionnula’s journey
Fionnula Mann (44) is a speech and language therapist. She lives in Belfast with her husband Simon and their three daughters. She says:
I've been a runner for years and I've trained for three marathons. I wasn't able to compete in two of them because of injury but I ran the Prague marathon in four hours and 10 minutes.
I was running until 10 weeks ago when my husband suggested I take part in the Belfast to Dublin maracycle. I brought it up with the other girls who I train with and we decided to have a go.
We're doing it for a number of different reasons. It was frustrating to not be able to take part in those two marathons and I think you want to challenge yourself as you get older.
Cycling is very different from running in a number of ways. For a start it takes a long time with a lot more effort to get results. A 45-minute run is a good way to expend a lot of energy but you need to be on a bike for a couple of hours to achieve the same results. You need more fuel too. We've been trying to eat balanced diets of carbohydrates and protein. Lots of porridge, bananas and fig rolls.
Cycling is also a lot more dangerous than running. When you run you tend to go down lanes or footpaths.
When you cycle on roads you're at the mercy of the traffic. The highway code says that drivers should treat cyclists as if they were a small car but that doesn't happen. Motorists don't give cyclists respect and it is risky.
You go much further on the bike and we've seen some beautiful countryside around Belfast that none of us knew was there. We don't get injured as easily either — although you can take a tumble off your bike every now and again.
It has been tough, though, because the training takes up more time. Each week I've been doing one long ride of about 60 miles and then two or three smaller ones. When your kids are asking you not to go out again that can be difficult!
We did the North Down Coastal race a couple of weeks ago, which was 60 miles. It was good but it was harder than I thought it would be. There was a noticeable lack of women at it. Maybe 10% of those taking part were female.
For me this will be a personal challenge — I’m a bit nervous about the whole thing!
Maura’s journey
Maura Corey (43) is a pharmacist. She lives in Belfast with her |husband Brian and their son and three daughters. She says:
I got talked into this by Fionnula Mann. I tried really hard not to do it — I even ignored her texts but she got me in the end. I think it was actually the challenge itself that persuaded me.
I had a bike — my husband bought it for me because he’s a cyclist too and has even done the maracycle a couple of times. I hadn’t really used it very much though. It was literally a case of the three of us getting on the bikes 10 weeks ago.
I found the training very difficult. I didn’t appreciate that starting to do a different kind of exercise would take so much out of me. I thought my legs would be stronger because of all the running — I managed to do the Paris marathon in just under four hours.
The other two had done a little bit of cycling before so it wasn’t quite as hard on them and I admit I did feel like giving up sometimes. I’m also the only one who works full-time so it hasn’t been as easy for me to find time to train.
Time has been the biggest issue because we need to do one big cycle every week. I think my youngest daughter will be glad when I don't have to train any more.
I’m fine now though — I got over all that. We did the North Down Coastal Challenge of 60 miles a couple of weeks ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it — particularly the first half although the roads got a bit busy in the second half.
We really got glorious weather though. There were 700 cyclists altogether so we got some really good support.
The camaraderie was great and we realised that doing this is much more about the competing than the actual competition. I’m not any fitter now — you get a sore rear end and sore thighs through cycling.
Finishing the maracycle will give a real sense of achievement.
Christine’s journey
Christine Nagle (45) is a housewife who lives in Belfast with her husband Michael and their five children. She says:
We are all runners. I ran the Paris marathon in three hours 59 minutes and then I injured my knee so I couldn't run as much as I had.
It was Fionnula who suggested we do the maracycle — we're all training partners anyway. I jumped at the chance because I liked the idea of the challenge and I thought that cycling might be a bit easier for me after injury. Either that or it's some kind of mid-life crisis!
The training has been tough because it is really time-consuming. Like every kind of training you have good days and bad days too. When the weather has been nice it's been great but I would much rather run in the rain than cycle in it.
The traffic and reduced viability on the roads can make it very difficult. It's taken a bit of getting used to but it has been fun. We've all fallen over at some point but luckily no-one's been injured. We were taking a break at one point and I bent down to answer the phone and just kept going. I like training with the girls and we've seen parts of Belfast I didn't even know existed.
I think the thing I’m least looking forward to is getting on the bike again the next day — it’s one thing to cycle 100 miles but it’s another thing to do it all over again the day after. I am looking forward to the craic though and the company.
I used to be a runner but now I think I’m both a runner and a cyclist.

The Wax Mask (AKA M.D.C. - Maschera di cera, Gaston Leroux's The Wax Mask. 1997).
Dir: Sergio Stivaletti
Cast: Robert Hossien, Romina Mondello, Riccardo Serventi Longhi, Daniele Auber, Umberto Balli, Gianni Franco and Gabriella Giorgelli.
It's the romantic city of Paris in the year 1900 and a portly, middle aged couple have just been bludgeoned to death in their beds by a cloaked, top-hatted fella with a groovy metal hand.
There are limbs and various bodily parts everywhere and the sheets are ruined leaving the local police at a loss as to who or what could have done such a thing.
Well after a few minutes heated discussion they all agree that it definitely wasn't the wee girl they found hiding under the bed.
Pretty good job they weren't Canadian police really seeing as they'd have probably beaten the shite out of her then confiscated her teddy bear as a weapon.
Jumping from blood stained sheets to semen stained slappers it's now twelve years later and we're in a brothel in Rome (not in reality that would be too much to ask), where the besuited and bookish boys are enjoying the company of the prettiest (and cleanest looking) whores this side of Pretty Woman.
Between the shagging and drinking of tea the conversation turns to a brand new wax museum that's soon to open across town, no-one has seen it yet but rumour has it that the place is frankly terrifying with the most realistic sculptures ever.
Everyone reckons that it could it the scariest waxworks ever (yes, even scarier than this one) and it's not long before the weasely Terry McBeardo has accepted a £5 bet to spend the night in the place.
Waved off (and no doubt cracked off) by his favourite and particularly bouncy blonde prostitute (imagine a rouge lipped, corseted, bad AIDS ridden and even more council estate scum Baby Spice and you're partway there) he heads inside to find a quiet place to sleep between the spooky wax figures.
Wandering between the exhibits he comes across a door leading to a basement room and being a nosey bugger heads down to investigate.
Bad move seeing as the place is full of bottled babies, body parts and jars labelled 'bad things'.
Oh and a spooky hooded man busy working away on something not nice.
The sight is so horrific that poor Terry can't help poohing himself a little bit, the smell of which attracts the attentions of the aforementioned hooded man who gives chase, easily catching the by now whiffy fella and killing him dead.
Yes, dead.
Investigating Terry's disappearance and being quite well known in the local brothels, the police end up at the waxwork and soon find Terry's shite stained body curled up in a corner just behind the Brad and Angelina tableaux.
Due to the smell the coroner decides that he died of fear.
Enter Boris Volkoff (well as played by the very old yet still very sexy Hossein you'd not think twice), the owner of the waxwork who, of course knows nothing about the death.
Aye right.
Tis the next morning and young, fresh faced wannabe fashion designer Sonia Lafont (the Asia Argento like - just slightly less sleazy - Mondello) has applied for a job making costumes at the wax museum but Alex (Balli from the cult Bobby Rhodes starrer Tre), Volkoff's lanky, pretty lipped and pudding bowled assistant despises her hairstyle and attempts to send her home.
Boris on the other (non metal) hand finds young Sonia fascinating and hires her on the spot.
Well I say on the spot but he actually offers her the job in his office but you get the gist.
This is the first bit of good fortune Sonia has had in years seeing as her parents were butchered by a madman and that she's had to spend the last twelve years living with her vastly overweight and blind auntie Francesca (cinema legend and ex-model for the Sadistik photo-comic Giorgelli) .
But wait!
Does this mean that she's the wee girl from the start of the film?
And more importantly is it still OK to fancy her?
Leaving the waxwork museum with a spring in her step and a heaving bosom Sonia is startled by the young news pup Andrea Conversi (Longhi, star of I tre volti del terrore and some other stuff) sneakily taking photo's of her.
After first wanting to slap him, Andrea's smooth movies and easy good looks soon have her, if not eating out of his hand at least knobbing him for a promise of a McDonalds and a movie.
Result.
But seeing as we're in an Italian horror movie it's no surprise that whilst all this mushy (and fairly sticky) stuff is going down, the mad bloke with the cloak, top hat and metal hand is skulking about the local parks buying wee urchin's candy floss before sticking a huge syringe into his neck, stripping him down to his undies and filling him with warm sickly liquids.
Whilst all these murders are going on, Andrea comes to the conclusion that they may be related in some way to the wax museum.
Sonia on the other (metallic this time) hand is too busy to care seeing as she's being romantically pursued by Boris (who gives her a really classy pearl necklace) as well as wondering if the metal hand murders could be in any way related to her parents deaths.
Hmmmmm......a hard one that.
Meanwhile that blonde whore from earlier is kidnapped, stripped to a pair of (leather) undies and injected with stuff before being placed in a display featuring Jack The Ripper.
As a whore.
Oh the irony.
Andrea with his patented sweet talking and even sweeter cock (possibly), manages to 'talk' Sonia into letting him into the wax museum after hours to take pictures of the exhibits before heading off for tea at Aunt Francesca's house.
The conversation turns to Sonia's childhood and Francesca tells the sad story of Sonia's mother, Gayle who was unhappily married to a weird bloke named Boris who did bad things with candles.
Finding solace in the arms of a nice (non mental) man named Victor, Gayle began a torrid affair but as is the way in these things, Boris caught them red handed (and sore arsed).
Being slightly upset at finding his wife spread eagled across the bed like a common strumpet Boris leapt at Victor and some serious bitch-slapping ensued culminating with Boris falling arse over tit into a huge vat of boiling hot wax that just happened to be bubbling away in the living room.
Ouch.
Andrea begins to suspect that Sonia's dad maybe the same Boris that now runs the wax museum and heads back to over there, leaving Sonia just enough time to get herself kidnapped and threatened with being fed to some hungry pigs.
Rescued by Boris before any hot pig on pretty lady action can take place (booo!) Sonia is taken to the museum (rather than being taken up the casino which is what Boris would rather do, you can tell by the look in his eyes), dragged down to the secret laboratory and stripped down to a pair of leather undies (I hope they're clean) ready for embalming.
But don't fear (oh go on then, fear a wee bit) because the ultimate crime solving force of Andrea and the blind Francesca are hot on Boris' trail and determined to rescue our sweaty and trussed up like a turkey heroine.
Will they find Sonia before her dad fills her with his special liquid?
Will there be any more unnecessary close-ups of her glistening breasts?
And will a giant, steam powered Terminator style robot turn up for no reason?
Co-written by the late, great Lucio Fulci and the hardly ever late but still great Dario Argento with effects genius Sergio Stivaletti behind the camera how could a movie like Wax Mask fail to entertain?
Throwing caution, logic and budgetary constraints to the wind (but keeping hold of those handy red filters), Stivaletti has crafted a stylishly saucy slice of pure cinematic gold that's as cheesy as it is chilling, tho' whether the cheesiness is intentional is up for debate.
I for one don't care when a movie is as enjoyable as this.
Often cruelly slated by 'proper' fans of the genre, there's lots to love about Wax Mask if you're willing to let yourself go with the flow, not least the wonderful production values, the vivid deep colours, the lush score and lastly but by no means least, the yummy Romina Mondello strapped to a steampunk style operating table wearing nowt but some leather briefs and a layer of shimmering sweat.
Even the cack handed dubbing (the worst I've ever heard) courtesy of distributors Film 2000 can't detract from the movie's overall greatest, if anything it adds another unique dimension to the proceedings, as if the dialogue was being presented thru' some kind of bio-mechanical drunken trumpet.
And there aren't many films you can say that about.
Apart from the bizarro sound mix used on the Warner two disc release of the Peter Cushing Dalek movies back in the early nineties.
At once a celebration of the best (and worse) excesses of Italian horror cinema, Wax Mask deserves to be re-evaluated and smothered with the love, attention and sticky kisses it so richly deserves.
Do it now.
Dir: Sergio Stivaletti
Cast: Robert Hossien, Romina Mondello, Riccardo Serventi Longhi, Daniele Auber, Umberto Balli, Gianni Franco and Gabriella Giorgelli.
It's the romantic city of Paris in the year 1900 and a portly, middle aged couple have just been bludgeoned to death in their beds by a cloaked, top-hatted fella with a groovy metal hand.
There are limbs and various bodily parts everywhere and the sheets are ruined leaving the local police at a loss as to who or what could have done such a thing.
Well after a few minutes heated discussion they all agree that it definitely wasn't the wee girl they found hiding under the bed.
Pretty good job they weren't Canadian police really seeing as they'd have probably beaten the shite out of her then confiscated her teddy bear as a weapon.
Shite in mah.....well shite everywhere really.
Jumping from blood stained sheets to semen stained slappers it's now twelve years later and we're in a brothel in Rome (not in reality that would be too much to ask), where the besuited and bookish boys are enjoying the company of the prettiest (and cleanest looking) whores this side of Pretty Woman.
Between the shagging and drinking of tea the conversation turns to a brand new wax museum that's soon to open across town, no-one has seen it yet but rumour has it that the place is frankly terrifying with the most realistic sculptures ever.
Everyone reckons that it could it the scariest waxworks ever (yes, even scarier than this one) and it's not long before the weasely Terry McBeardo has accepted a £5 bet to spend the night in the place.
Waved off (and no doubt cracked off) by his favourite and particularly bouncy blonde prostitute (imagine a rouge lipped, corseted, bad AIDS ridden and even more council estate scum Baby Spice and you're partway there) he heads inside to find a quiet place to sleep between the spooky wax figures.
Wandering between the exhibits he comes across a door leading to a basement room and being a nosey bugger heads down to investigate.
Bad move seeing as the place is full of bottled babies, body parts and jars labelled 'bad things'.
Oh and a spooky hooded man busy working away on something not nice.
The sight is so horrific that poor Terry can't help poohing himself a little bit, the smell of which attracts the attentions of the aforementioned hooded man who gives chase, easily catching the by now whiffy fella and killing him dead.
Yes, dead.
"Is that a leaky biro in your pocket
or have you cum in your pants?"
or have you cum in your pants?"
Investigating Terry's disappearance and being quite well known in the local brothels, the police end up at the waxwork and soon find Terry's shite stained body curled up in a corner just behind the Brad and Angelina tableaux.
Due to the smell the coroner decides that he died of fear.
Enter Boris Volkoff (well as played by the very old yet still very sexy Hossein you'd not think twice), the owner of the waxwork who, of course knows nothing about the death.
Aye right.
Tis the next morning and young, fresh faced wannabe fashion designer Sonia Lafont (the Asia Argento like - just slightly less sleazy - Mondello) has applied for a job making costumes at the wax museum but Alex (Balli from the cult Bobby Rhodes starrer Tre), Volkoff's lanky, pretty lipped and pudding bowled assistant despises her hairstyle and attempts to send her home.
Boris on the other (non metal) hand finds young Sonia fascinating and hires her on the spot.
Well I say on the spot but he actually offers her the job in his office but you get the gist.
This is the first bit of good fortune Sonia has had in years seeing as her parents were butchered by a madman and that she's had to spend the last twelve years living with her vastly overweight and blind auntie Francesca (cinema legend and ex-model for the Sadistik photo-comic Giorgelli) .
But wait!
Does this mean that she's the wee girl from the start of the film?
And more importantly is it still OK to fancy her?
Mondello: You would.
Leaving the waxwork museum with a spring in her step and a heaving bosom Sonia is startled by the young news pup Andrea Conversi (Longhi, star of I tre volti del terrore and some other stuff) sneakily taking photo's of her.
After first wanting to slap him, Andrea's smooth movies and easy good looks soon have her, if not eating out of his hand at least knobbing him for a promise of a McDonalds and a movie.

Joel Zumaya Injury VIDEO: Tigers Reliever's Elbow
Injured During Game
joel zumayaDetroit Tigers pitcher Joel Zumaya suffered what appeared to be a
dreadful elbow injury Monday night in Minneapolis, leaving the reliever
writhing on the field in agonizing pain. With one out in the eighth
inning, the hard-throwing Zumaya threw a 99-mph fastball to Twins outfielder Delmon Young.
Zumaya reacted almost instantly, twisting in discomfort before
falling to the ground. His right hand was visibly shaking, and Tigers
catcher Greg Laird -- who was 60 feet away from Zumaya at the time of
the injury -- said he heard a "pop."
Zumaya, who has a history of injury troubles, is known for pitching
at extremely high velocities. He was once clocked throwing a pitch at 104 mph.
After the game, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said, "It obviously
doesn't look good. It's an awful bad feeling when you see something like
that happen to anybody." Scroll down for unsettling video of Zumaya's
injury.

Verizon Email Outage: Twitter and Central for Webmail
We have some disappointing news for customers on Verizon now, as it appears as if the carrier’s home webmail service is completely down – with the outage disabling the login process to email features.
Worst yet for Verizon customers , it looks as if the carrier has yet to post any updates regarding the outage, meaning that users have no indication as to when the service will be available again.
I’ve had a quick check on Verizon’s official Twitter page and there is no sign of Verizon acknowledging the outage. Luckily for you, you can keep checking the latest updates on Twitter from other users at this page.
You would think that Verizon would at least let their customers know that they are working on a quick fix to the problem. We’ll update you when we know more.
In the meantime, let us know your location details and if your email is still affected or not.

Rumor Claims Britney Spears Dead
britney spears dead
The fake celebrity death circuit has returned to old territory with a new Britney Spears dead rumor doing the rounds today.
According to one version of the Britney Spears dead rumors doing the rounds, she was killed five years ago and is currently being played by a body double….yeah, we never said these rumors make sense.
The resurfacing of the Britney Spears dead rumors though may actually be related to other news: about a month ago Britney announced that when she died, she wanted her body cryogenically frozen, so she can be bought back to life when the technology is there to save her. OK, that’s nearly as nuts as the death rumor, but we can at least confirm this story.
We’re giving the Britney Spears died rumors a 4/10 for originality.
As always, for the record, Britney Spears has not died, Britney Spears is not dead. Nothing more to see here, move along.

According to an affidavit, Locane told police she had consumed several glasses of wine. Prior to the fatal accident, the actress reportedly rear ended a different vehicle at a Princeton intersection and fled. Authorities say the other driver saw her swerving and knocking over mailboxes before the Cherry Hill Road collision.
The actress faces 5 to 10 years in prison if convicted. Bail has yet to be set.
Locane also starred in films including Cry-Baby, School Ties and Secretary.
