Antonio Banderas: Getting naked at 50? Not so much
June 24, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Movie stud Antonio Banderas has been known for showing some skin in his movie roles – well, at least taking his shirt off! But as he gets closer to 50, he’s a little leery of getting naked on screen.
Sure, he does it for his love scenes with Radha Mitchell in the upcoming crime drama The Code, but he wasn’t exactly comfortable with it.
He told the New York Post: "It’s always uneasy when you get into bed with a woman on screen. It’s difficult because you have 50 people around, and there are some people who are sensitive to that."
He said he wanted to be as respectful to Mitchell as possible. "At the same time, I’m nearly 50 years old, and even I start getting more wary of those scenes. Everything changes as you get older - your mind, your body, the way you view the world."
Well, he still looks darn good to me, but I think it would be really weird getting naked onscreen with someone who’s not your real-life partner. All part of the acting process, I guess.

America Olivo takes it off for Playboy cover
May 21, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I had the pleasure of interviewing the "Bitch Slap" girls last year, and they were a blast to talk to. Check out the movie’s trailer here.
America Olivo, who plays Camero in the movie, is currently gracing the June issue of Playboy magazine – as well as a 6-page nude pictorial inside the mag. The girl is definitely hot – in more ways than one! She’s got four movies out in 2009, including the "Friday the 13th" remake, "Bitch Slap," "Neighbor," and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."
"Bitch Slap" features the longest girl-fight in cinema history. Olivo says she had to do "blatant lesbian scenes on a trapeze, in which I’m making out, kissing this girl between the legs and riding her so intensely I was more sore than a mofo.
