25 Men Who Might Actually Consider Posing for “Playgirl”!

24 November 2009 10:47 PM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

You can’t buy the kind of publicity Playgirl magazine has received for getting Levi Johnston to pose naked.

Well, actually, I guess you can. What did the magazine pay the ex-future-second-son-in-law anyway? Given all the ink and pixels that have been spilled over this, it was pretty good deal for Playgirl, especially since the word now is that he didn’t even do the whole lumberjack.

Not surprisingly, the magazine is said to be eagerly looking for other famous folks willing to disrobe.

We have some suggestions.

But let’s face it: Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Evans are never going to pose naked for Playgirl. The same goes for virtually every other person on our annual Hot 100 list. These folks are at the very peak of their careers, and they need neither the money nor the, uh, exposure.

‘Monk’ Series Finale Promo

24 November 2009 8:13 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

After 7 years, 8 seasons and 123 episodes, Adrian Monk is finally going to close the case which started it all: who is behind the death of his beloved wife, Trudy. With the case also goes the series, Monk, but now is not the time to lament over what will be, as there are still two phobia-inducing episodes left. At least now we have a promo to go with it and possibly some clues as to who’s behind it the crime.

The penultimate episode, titled “Mr. Monk and the End” comes with a description so short that there’s no chance of giving anything away.

Monk is called to a crime at the location where he first heard the news of his wife’s murder and begins the most important investigation of his life.

Although, what the description doesn’t tell you is that this episode also includes more guest stars »

G.I. Joe director talks sequel and Tarzan remake

7 August 2009 12:43 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

With His new action-packed sci-fi flick G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra opening this weekend, director Stephen Sommers already has a sequel in mind.

And he's also set to direct a remake of Tarzan, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous ape-man most recently seen on screen in live-action form in 1984's Greystoke (starring Christopher Lambert) and 1999's Tarzan and the Lost City (pictured here, with Caspar van Dien in the lead role).

CineFOOLS reports that when Sommers was asked if the G.I. Joe cast were locked in for a sequel, he said "Yes, they are. Next summer."

Of course it also depends on how the first film performs and Sommers told SuperheroHype he was all set to do a follow-up if Paramount gave it the green light. "I'll take August off, but then sure, I'm right back in there", he said.

So, where would the next film take us? »

The PSA features Van Dien as Rico telling viewers to visit ChildHelp.org for more information, while he holds a rubber gun and a war is going on in the background. What's really funny, is that this PSA was shot only a few weeks ago. If Van Dien has convinced you to get "on the battle field," then you can visit the site for more information.
