Scanner Taking Nominations for "Scanner's Top 10 Hottest Women in the World"

Scanner is serious about taking nominations for Scanner's Top 10 Hottest Women in the World. On Scanner Emily's list: “Jenny Lewis, Rilo Kiley frontwoman, child actor and even better solo artist.”

And it’s on! From ScarJo to Charlotte Rampling to…Faye Wong?...the noms are pouring in. Leave your brilliant suggestions in Scanner’s comments section. (I’m all for Thandie Newton. Even if she has gotten disturbingly skinny.)

And after you answer…Did you ever play the ol’ college game where people ask you to name, in your opinion, the hottest male and female celebrities?

So you name them.

And then – insert dramatic shoe-drop thud! here — the person asking the questions reveals that you only chose that celebrity because they look the most like you.

Which happened about 80% of the time. Except for me. I’m so proud to report I look absolutely nothing like the utterly gorgeous Thandie Newton.

::sigh::

What Thandie looks like:

The celebrity I most resembled in high school, according to some dude who made my sandwiches at Subway:

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

ScarJo Sings! And It Is…Good?

Over at the Nerve Video Blog, Oliver was startled and pleased to discover that, “In a stunning reversal, Scarlett Johansson's new album is actually good.”

Yes, he’s downloaded the title track…and wants to show you how. And I want to show you pictures of Scarlett singing at Coachella. It just makes me feel better that, without all the Photoshop finishing, her knees look like mine. (Is that so wrong?)

“Well blow me down! I haven't been this surprised since, well, it's been a while. Non-very-good-at-acting actor Scarlett Johansson's new album, covering a bunch of Tom Waits songs, is apparently really good. Don't believe me? That's okay. I didn't believe me at first either. But here, you can download the title track from her album right...here. It won't destroy your computer with a really horrible virus; I know this because I downloaded it myself already. Unless it's a really slow-acting virus. In which case I'm screwed,” writes Oliver.

Check out Oliver’s write-up, links, and videos here.

And here’s ScarJo at Coachella, rocking out (?) with the Jesus and Mary Chain.

Doesn't this make you feel better, too?

They don't look fuzzy to us...

Okay, there is a huuuuge debate going on over at Scanner. Granted, the “huuuge” part of it might be in my mind, but there is a debate. And it raises the question: is Maggie Gyllenhaal sexy? (Or is Secretary the most over-rated “sexy” film of the past decade?) Scanner Brian opens this can of worms, while also bringing you the nastiest sex scenes ever. “Nasty” as in a scene which both “turns you on and repulses you at the same time.”

Also under debate: Hot or Not? Scarlett Johansson's Fuzzy Nipple. Yes, there are pictures. And video.

Plus: Tina Fey wants “Kristen” (a.k.a. Ashley Alexandra Dupre) to appear on 30 Rock. And after I volunteered my uterus for that woman…
Scanner Bryan’s hard-on threatens to smash his keyboard: Children of Men: The Television Series.
Today in Global Warming: 10 Fun Surprises.
Scanner Emily hates herself for loving Men in Trees. (We, too, have researched moving to Alaska…)
School’s out; students celebrate by having giant orgy in town square.

The Screengrab brings us more news on the X-Files leaked trailer; also, the Deception’s trailer kind of freaks us out (Hugh Jackman? Ewan McGregor? Sex games? Michelle Williams in blood-red lipstick? WTF is going on?); Penn & Teller…get killed?; and, of course, the Ten Greatest Mentors in Movie History.

And the Nerve Video Blog also takes a look at some trailers, including The Onion Movie and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead. Plus: fondue and major boobage; Wal-Mart; and one hilarious commercial that would never be aired in the United States…
