Spartacus: War of the Damned Teaser Trailer Revealed at Comic-Con
* I sincerely hope Ellen Hollman first nude scene is not covered with angles, hair and elbows gimmick. But got a hunch she is going to make the state of Michigan proud of her the way Madonna did. Full frontal, baby!
__________________________________________
The True Blood cast and executive producer Alan Ball took the stage to dish on the rest of Season 5, which includes a lot more sex scenes, Sam's fate and more flashbacks. Check out what's in store and watch the spoilery trailer below:
1. Let's get bromantic: Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) were forced to team up this season and it's slowly become one of the best vampire bromances on TV. (Sorry, Salvatores!) "We've had a little too much fun together," Skarsgard said. "It's been four years of us fighting over Sookie [Anna Paquin], so now it's a Butch Cassidy Sundance Kid moment... and we have a common enemy." Where they've always butt heads, Eric has come to realize this season that he really does like Bill. "We can't do this apart; we have to do this together," Moyer added.
2. Catfight: Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) found some commonality last week — until Tara started feeding on Hoyt. Still, they may eventually be able to set their differences aside. "I think girls will be girls," Woll said. "We'll figure it out."
3. Will Sam survive? It's likely that Sam (Sam Trammell) will live to see another day, but what will happen to this shifter family now? "There was a question of whether Emma was a shapeshifter or a wolf, and I saw her just shift into a wolf and that's going to have some ramifications," Trammell said. "Sam's going to be trying to figure out how to fit into that family."
4. Badass Sookie: After blowing off Debbie Pelt's head last season, Sookie will continue her butt-kicking ways this season. "Absolutely," Paquin said, refusing to reveal too much. "She always gets into some sort of action-y trouble."
5. More sexy time! True Blood is known for its very graphic sex scenes and this season will be no different. "There are definitely some very hot sex scenes and there are some wacky, 'what the f---?' sex scenes," Ball said. "Between those two, all tastes will be satisfied." It sounds like Alcide (Joe Manganiello) will be on that list: "I sexually eviscerate another cast member in one of the episodes coming up," Manganiello teased. It also sounds like that at least one sex scene will happen in the upcoming Moyer-directed episode airing Sunday, July 29. "It was amazing. I got to see Joe naked," Moyer said.
6. More romance! It's not all about sex! Ball teased that there will be three new romances this season. "There's also a lot of other people having sex, but those don't count as romances," Ball added.
7. More flashbacks: Sookie and Jason's parents have been popping up in Jason's subconscious, but Ball says we'll see more of them in different ways. "We're going to learn a little bit more about Michelle and Corbett Stackhouse, what happened to them and the effect on Sookie and particularly Jason," he said.
8. Were-tigers: Though they will be introduced at the end of Season 5, Ball said that there are no plans to make them staples on the show. However, he did note that he's stepping down as showrunner, so the writers could always bring the were-tigers on next season. In that same vein, Ball said that there's a possibility of seeing the novel's faerie war before the series eventually ends.
9. Sookie's forgotten... something? In a sneak peek of upcoming episodes, Bill is seen erasing Sookie's memory and telling her that she will now forget everything she knows about them. Plus: Tara's mother confronts her new lifestyle, Alcide tries to become the packmaster, Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare) gets on a feeding frenzy, Lafayette holds a séance, Terry holds a gun under his chin and Godric returns! Got all that?

'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie: Christian Grey and Ana Steele casting will be key
By: Ryan Arciero
With bestselling author EL James at Comic-Con 2012 this week and new “Fifty Shades” casting polls posted by fans and social media sites alike, the racy novel and confirmed-to-film book has certainly worked its way into many women’s conversation.In recent “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie news, the fans have spoken this week about their opinions as to who would play the perfect Christian Grey. According to “The Hollywood Gossip” this Thursday, what will truly lend itself to the film’s overall success will not just be the screenplay adaption, but the casting character roles.
While author EL James has said that she only sold over the rights to her book being made into a movie on the conditions she would play a major part in how the adaptation would be filmed, the gifted writer has not revealed any news on her own favorite casting picks.
The complex, character-driven storyline (LOL. Are you fucking serious, dude?) of “Fifty Shades” might be hard to translate to the big screen, but has definite room for success. Behind the sex scenes and budding romance between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele is a deep relationship and self-discovery that unfolds. Part of “Fifty Shades’” popularity goes beyond the physical and into the emotional—that there are truly fifty shades of depth to every businessman (or woman), person, and lover in life.
Yet the “Fifty Shades of Grey” film will rely more on just its sexy and compelling plot. News from “The Hollywood Gossip” this week reports that over 51% of fans stated they would only like—and even go see—the epic film adaptation if the right actors and actresses were chosen for the role. At this point (without any confirmed news of who may be cast yet), that can range from Ian Somerhalder and the also popular Matt Bomer to Scott Elrod or Henry Cavill.
A recent Christian Grey casting poll result from “Entertainmentwise” left handsome hunks Ryan Gosling of “The Notebook,” Ian Somerhalder of “The Vampire Diaries,” and Henry Cavill, star of the future “Superman: Man of Steel” movie, at the top of the casting heap. EL James has said, however, that she will take her fans’ opinions into consideration.
Indeed, the movie’s star cast could easily make or break the film. While who might be the real-life Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele remains to be seen, the big question remains: would fans still want to see the movie if their favorite picks to play the parts weren’t chosen?
After all, for Christian Grey’s casting role especially, the handsome, rugged, dark but good-hearted billionaire may be different and personal to the mind’s—and heart’s eye—of every reader.
'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie: Ian Somerhalder, Emma Watson to be cast?
Of course there are still plenty of rumors that "Fifty Shades" may not even make it to the theater—it may be made into a television movie and shown on HBO or Showtime—mainly because it is so sexually explicit.
The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie, nonetheless, will come out in some form. Fans of the novel are hoping that their favorite actors are cast in the film and many of them will be disappointed if not. Clearly Ian Somerhalder is the only choice to play Christian Grey according to millions of fans, and he's already talked about the potential of this role.
Choosing a woman to play Anastasia Steele has been a bit more tricky for "Fifty" fans. Running through the list of names that immediately come to mind, many will rattle off Nina Dobrev, Lucy Hale, and Rachel McAdams... but what about other choices such as Emma Watson? Does she really fit the mold? Would she have that undeniable chemistry with Ian?
The "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie will be ridiculously popular, but as people working on the film realize, the casting is going to have to be perfect.

Could the Fifty Shades of Grey Movie Possibly Be Any Good?
Is it true that the people behind The Social Network are going to do Fifty Shades of Grey? Is that book even adaptable?!—Sunday, via the inbox
Yep. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Michael de Luca and Dana Brunetti, who worked together on the Oscar-winning Jesse Eisenberg movie The Social Network, are gearing up to bring E.L. James' novel to the big screen.
Universal, which has the rights to the book, has said that a "delicate and sophisticated hand" is needed here. (The book could have used one, too, but I digress.)
So could this movie possibly be any good?
I spoke to several people who would know, and they said there's no reason why a 50 Shades film won't win over general audiences and make a ton of money.
As long the book is completely ripped apart. Or something to that effect.
"The only way to make it into a crowd-pleasing film that will earn all of its money back is to pretty much tear everything out of the book," says author and screenwriter Christopher Farnsworth, whose Nathaniel Cade vampire series is being adapted for both the big and little screens.
Of course the movie could be crafted strictly for older audiences. But with that choice comes a price.
"Yes, you could make another 9 1/2 Weeks," Farnsworth mulls, referring the 1986 erotic romance starring Kim Basinger. "But those movies don't historically make a lot of money. Studios don't want to make so many R-rated films. They want to make PG films that a lot of people can see."
That said, Farnsworth points out that other books have been gutted on their way to the big screen, with decent success—the Angelina Jolie film Wanted, for example.
And if the budget for this film is small enough, there's no reason why it couldn't weather an R rating and still make a long-term profit. Especially if the flick sticks with the book's main theme, which, when you strip away all the stripping, really is as mainstream as it gets.
"It's the classic big love story—the powerful man who sort of plucks out this seemingly ordinary woman, and falls in love with her and makes her special," romance author Beatriz Williams tells me. "That's emotional crack for women. We're hardwired to love this stuff."
All that said, it's still way too soon to know for sure which direction the movie will go. Although the journey should be...interesting.
Roger Nuditybadger on upcoming screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey
The movie adaptation will be primarily aimed at the female demographic. Women are all about fantasy, men are purely visuals. If I'm right and MPAA haven't changed much of the rules when it comes to sex and nudity, most of of the graphic scenes will be in shape of close-ups, swift edit nudity and implied shots balanced by vocalizations (explicit descriptions of sexual activity/dirty talk in form of narration by Ana). Even NC-17 will be beyond the FSOG makers if they dramatize the novel @ shallow crap to a T by including all the sex scenes. No top actors/actresses will agree to unsimulated sexual contact. That's one of the reason the producers are hoping to hire a woman director – eg. Jane Campion, Mary Harron or Angelina Jolie – so the female lead will feel comfortable performing the racy scenes. More trusting of female director in helping to deal with potential first on-screen nudity.
The good news is they are looking for a first-timer to play Ana in terms of sex and nudity. So it'll be a genuine reaction when she strips for the first time in front of her 'dominant'. It will be more involving when you see her face contorts in pain and pleasure while Christian goes to town on her.
Pretty much rules out Anne Hathaway with Kaya Scodelario (the author is angling for her but Kaya is rarity among British actors: hates nudity) and American producers are hoping for a yes from either Allison Williams or Emma Watson.
[1] Rating:
Hard R. It’s going to be a delicate job of getting the required rating considering the raunchy material - basically porn disguised as hard romance novel. Editing and cinematography will be vital in making sure everything stays in the R-zone and not stray into NC-17 or Unrated territory. NC-17 will be box-office suicide. Universal Pictures and Focus Features bought the rights to make huge loads of money off a potential lucrative franchise.
Going by the novel contents the most likely R-rated Motion Picture Rating (MPAA) will be:
“Rated R for graphic nudity and dialogue, language and violent sexual content” , "Rated R for strong sexual content including graphic dialogue, nudity and language" or less likely “Rated R for strong sex scenes with explicit dialogue” similar to Boogie Nights (1997). S-and-M angle could be the main reason for “violent sexual content”.
Sex and Nudity is still a nonsensical taboo in US. And the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America's Classification and Rating Administration) plays a huge part in regulating the sexual mores of Americana in movies and other relevant media. It’s mind boggling the disparities between the sex and violence in movies. Blood-letting and violent acts in R-rated flicks seems to be getting more gruesome and revolting by each passing year while nudity is heavily censored to the point of absurdity and inconsistency.
ANTI-MPAA: FEMALE SEX AND MALE VIOLENCE: THE DIVIDE IN MOVIE RATINGS[2] Script:by MaryAnn Johanson(This essay is rated NC-17 for graphic discussion of sexual expression that would not be allowed in an R-rated movie.)
As some Hollywood wag has famously, and probably apocryphally, said, "You can slice a breast off onscreen, but you can't kiss it."
Why? Because the Motion Picture Association of America, the organization that rates films for American release, says so.
The movie LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX initially received an NC-17 rating for a scene in which it is demonstrated, using a peach as a prop, how to perform oral sex on a woman. A similar scene using a banana as a stand-in for a man was not an impediment to an R rating.
An erect penis onscreen garners a film an automatic NC-17, but a film in which women are fully, graphically nude has no problem earning an R rating.
EYES WIDE SHUT initially received an NC-17 rating for intentionally unerotic missionary-position intercourse. (The rating was dropped to R when the glimpses of thrusting penises were covered up in some instances by -- you guessed it -- strategically placed nude women. An image of three naked women pleasuring one another for the benefit of male onlookers obviously was also not a barrier to an R rating.) Only a year earlier, 8MM got an R despite sexualized imagery of women being viciously murdered.
In the furor surrounding the posthumous editing of Stanley Kubrick's final film in order to earn a much more lucrative R rating, critic Roger Ebert suggested a new ratings category that would sidestep the stigma attached to NC-17 (few newspapers will run ads for NC-17-rated films, and Blockbuster will not carry such films for rental) -- an A rating, to distinguish films with artistic merit from those merely pornographic. The MPAA rejected this idea, responding that that would turn the board into critics.
But the fact is, the MPAA is already making the kinds of subjective decisions it says it is loath to avoid. The MPAA has subjectively decided that the depiction of male sexual pleasure is more important than that of women, that men deserve a measure of dignity when it comes to nudity that women do not merit, that watching a women being murdered is less objectionable than watching a women have an orgasm. I've lost count of the number of R-rated movies I've seen in which it is graphically suggested -- if not graphically depicted -- that a woman is giving a man a blow job. But I can't recall a single similar instance in which the roles are reversed, in which the woman is on the receiving end.
The MPAA's subjectivity comes into play when it deems that the brutal violence of movies like the R-rated ROBOCOP, TERMINATOR 2, and THE MATRIX -- to name but a few -- may be witnessed by children as long as they are accompanied by an adult but that under no circumstances may these children watch two adults make love with the same level of anatomical detail with which we frequently witness limbs get blown off a human body. I'm not of the school that subscribes to the belief that kids imitate what they see in the movies, but even if I were, I'd much rather chance my kid experimenting with sex than experimenting with violence. How can the MPAA, a group of people who don't know my child, determine what she is or is not mature enough to handle? How can that group determine what I should or should not expose my child to?
As much as I'd like to say that parents should watch any movie before deciding whether their children should see it, I realize that's unrealistic. And for all the times I've witnessed parents not giving a damn what a movie is rated -- the woman who was upset that the ticket taker would not admit her unaccompanied preadolescent children to THE PLAYERS CLUB, an R-rated movie about a stripper; the mom standing behind me on line, all of us waiting for the R-rated AMERICAN BEAUTY, asking the two young children with her what the film was rated -- I know that some parents do find ratings a useful if flawed guideline.
But the MPAA's ratings could be more pointed and more helpful while simultaneously becoming less subjective. The recent THREE KINGS is rated R for "graphic war violence, language and some sexuality"; AMERICAN BEAUTY is rated R for "strong sexuality, language, violence and drug content." But you won't learn that from movie posters, television advertisements, or newspaper ads for either of these movies. In fact, that information is not particularly easy to find, nor is it readily at hand when deciding what film to take the kids or oneself to.
The MPAA should take a cue from the new television ratings system, which tells us right up front what potentially objectionable content a program contains: D for suggestive dialogue, S for sexuality, V for violence, and so on. It's not a perfect system for television, and it wouldn't be a perfect system for films. But instead of the MPAA unilaterally deciding, using its own subjective criteria, that a film is unfit for consumption by a certain group of moviegoers, it could merely alert audiences to a film's content and turn the decision whether to watch that film back over to the people it belongs to: parents, and moviegoers in general.
It's incredible (to me at least) the lack of female screen-writers compared to men in Hollywood today. Virtually non-existent in erotic genre. Softcore series such as Chemistry (2011) and "Femme Fatales" (2011) are written by horny boys. Both Julia Leigh and Erin Cressida Wilson are more of an esthetic type of writers than outright erotica. Their work is all about appreciating the beauty from a distance. Rarely ventures into actual romp-in-the-bed. Pretty staid stuff from guys perspective. It'll not surprise me if E.L.James is roped in to work closely with the chief writer. The Englishwoman will not have it any other way. The final screenplay will have about 60% sex scenes (including the graphic narration/dialogues). Running time will be about 110 minutes.
[3] Audition:
The role of Anastasia Steele is a career definer for any actress brave enough to audition for it. The particular actress not only has to deal with the extensive sex scenes and nudity. She will also be pigeon-holed for life on celluloid . Remember the movie is being produced as a trilogy. It means constant public scrutiny for years and unlike Kristine Stewart in vanilla-drenched crap fest Twilight, there is also the stigma of performing racy and pornish scenes on-screen attached forever to the actress in nudity-phobia America. Every subsequent role offered to now well-known starlet will be based on recurring theme of innocent girl tempted into world of sex and sleaziness.
Believe me when I say every agent in Tinseltown will be pushing their respective client to take a look at the script and attend the auditions. It’s a win-win situation. For an aspiring actor what’s better than name recognition and financial windfall. There are pure artists in Hollywood but majority are in the biz with ultimate goal of becoming rich and famous.
The audition itself is going to be a tricky affair. The author E.L. James will certainly wants to be included when the auditioning process begins particularly for casting the all-important lead roles.
Interesting to see what happens during call-back. Will the final round of castings have nudity? It’s important to fit the physical characteristics of Ana Steele. You can’t hire someone on the looks only. What if her tits are too small or way too droopy. What if her butt is shaped like a pan-cake?
[4] Anastasia Steele:
(a) My choices for Ana are:
24-years old Allison Williams (unlikely. May accept the role if Angelina Jolie comes aboard as the director) 
30-years old Alexis Bledel (50/50)
24-years old Lyndsy Fonseca (impossible. Very conservative and openly mocks the book)
28-years old Mary Elizabeth Winstead (dark horse. Needs a winner after dismal failures of recent movies. Recently dropped her non-nudity clause)
24-years old Ashley Hinshaw (long shot. Already crossed the nudity bridge. Her guileless look is a major plus. Even if upcoming About Cherry bombs - and it will - something tells me Ashley will be at the audition. She will be equally fuckable as a brunette)
25-years old Alexandra Daddario (my number one choice. Physically closest to Ana. Face. Body. Height. Those eyes. Minuses: can’t act which is okay considering the subject matter. Nudity-dodger. Huge breasts could be a distraction in nude scenes and put off self-conscious female viewers - basically every freaking woman on the planet! Talking about big breasts brings me to a potential bad news for fans looking forward to seeing Alex heavenly titties in full unclothed glory. It was in 2010 a supposed old school mate of Miss Daddario posted on her twitter (now deleted) rather smugly that cute ol' blue eyes have a middle-aged type boobies. The magic of wonderbra is holding up the droopy billibongs. I bet you boys remember Sophie Rundle first topless scene in Episodes. Well.......)
23-years old Lucy Hale (my money is on her to chicken out at the last minute. All big mouth and nothing else)
25-years old Ashley Greene (inspired by Kristin Stewart incursion into nudity, Ashley is ready to step it up. But those all-knowing glint in her eyes is not exactly screaming virginal innocence)(c) the B-listers (stuck in co-starring roles and spots on crappy TV shows)
(d) foreign artists:
James will be pushing hard for British actresses such as Kaya, Emma Watson, Felicity Jones (first real nudity in The Invisible Woman?). Anastasia Steele is American but the author prefers fellow Brit to enact the role. Maybe it had to do with open-minded nature of English actresses. They rarely have issues with sex and nude scenes. It will not shock me if the producers opt for an Australian performer as well. The girls from down-under have easy-going attitude, super-disciplined and as we witness in recent years nudity is definitely non-issue. How about a Canadian hottie? As I posted before the Canucks have acquired an aversion to on-screen nudity. I don't see any established star from the north will even bother with the casting notice.
(e) newcomer or a movie debutant:
the guys in charge may well sign on a newcomer. Preferably from theatrical background. These newbie will be easy to control publicity-wise. She will be eager to comply on the set unlike regular starlets with their constant need for discussion about certain scenes and script modification which leads to delays equals costs inflation. Contracting her to a trilogy of movies will be easy as pie. Established talents (egged on by agents/managers) tends to work on per-movie revolving contracts open to negotiations and clause insertions.
[5] The filming:
Budget will be around $30 - $40 (inflated by the studio for marketing purposes). The whole plot is about submission of Ana to Christian in every possible way. One delightful S-and-M themed joy-ride.
Sex scenes will have to be super-discreet. It will be filmed in darkish hues, glaring colors and shadows ala Starz Magic City. Here is my take on the director’s approach to the sexual segments.
[a] At the Escala - Christian’s love pad.
Deflowering her in his bedroom. Shot in darkly-lit style. Kisses her. Runs his tongue all over her belly. Ana is still in her bra and panties. Pushes her on to the bed. Cam dollies in on Christian bare back as he climbs on top of Ana. Close-up. Reaction shot of Ana. Heavy kisses. His hand cupped Ana breast (briefly) and yanks down the bra. First glimpse of the tits. Few seconds. Cam focuses on back of Christian head blocking Ana tits from view while he supposedly sucks on the tits. 2nd. reaction shot of Ana. Lips around one of the nips (body double). Cam cuts to Ana face (close-up) writhing in pleasure. His hand moves down Ana’s torso to her love mound. Sneak thru the lace. Implied clit-mast beneath the panties. Quick editing and close-up to the hand when Christian tugs the panties off (body double). Swish pans with Christian (his back to the cam and very much nude) as he grabs a condom. The butt shot will delight the female viewers. Implied movement of putting on a condom. Close ups for short interaction between the pair. Cuts to Christian standing over Ana. Long shot with cam framed on his bare back blocking the viewers of naked Ana in the bed. Straddles her in mish. Cam peds to top of the bed with Christian body covering Ana’s. Slowly his ass moves to indicate fucking. Over the shoulder shot on Ana face as she loses her virginity. Possible narration by Ana at this point to describe the feeling. Few seconds of darkish side view with his elbow covering her assets. Fades out slowly and fades in quickly. Few seconds of doggy style captured in long shot style. Likely body doubles. Framing. Close-up. Sensual dialogues. More (dirty) narration by Ana to describing the proceedings with action in constant hazy fades out amid swish pan transitions. (Whole scene will be about 5-8 mins long)
[b] bath scene.
Ana in Christian’s white shirt. Steps into bath on his orders. Over-the-shoulder (Christian) shot. Strips her naked. First (quick) full frontal. She covers the nether parts with her hands. Scoot down into the bath water. Pedding shot from the top zooming slowly on Ana slouching in the tub. Some cock-teasing in the tub without really showing anything. Fades out. Fades in with long distance shot on shades covering Ana’s bobbing head implying blowjob for Mr.Grey. Voice-over to indicate the act in detailed flowery language. Christian’s cry of ecstasy as he cums ends the scene.
........long fade out............
[c] back in the bed.
Ana wrists bind together with his tie by Christian. No real nudity. Fades out. She is in bed with blurry over the shoulder shot from top of Ana’s head to Christian – face buried deep between her legs. Exchange between the two. Camera very slowly moves away from the action to the couple’s shadow visualized (conveniently) on a wall. Sex talk between the duo highlights the scene before the fade out.
(This segment will be lengthy – 10 to 12 mins)
[d] at her apartment.
Similar to [a] but with plenty of close-ups and quick dolly shots aided by flashy editing to cover the explicitness (no real nudity). Belly down fucking is of course shot from a distance in hazy style.
Another sexual encounter at her apartment will be excised from the script (or it will be clothed sex nonsense). The ass-spanking segment will be included to show what S-and-M is all about after Ana agrees to be a submissive. (About 3-5 mins)
[e] Christian playroom (Red Room of Pain)
The main event. Filmed in dark red hues to masked the graphic sex and nudity. Undresses Ana. Lingering topless shot. Ana assumes the doggy position in the floor (long shot from the sides). Body double galore with cam zooming in frequently to duo’s face, body (again body double) and zooming out to show an act.
Usage of fades out and flashy editing will be high. Each sexual act interposed between the fade out will be super brief due to the explicitness of the S-and-M described in the book.
The thing with two round, shiny, silver balls is unlikely to be featured in the movie. Too pornish. Probably go for the spanking scene though.
................Later a quick clothed sex on the table. (5 mins of S-and-M. Beyond that: NC-17)
[f] room 612.
Sex in the bathroom. Possible first real (lingering shot) full frontal for Ana Steele. Literally steamy fog from the bath covers the duo. Again a clever method to hide the nudity. This one should be short with emphasis on post-coital interaction – Ana trying to dig deeper into Christian’s obsession with rough sex.
[g] Christian playroom (Red Room of Pain)
The blind-fold and IPod scene. Likely to be excised from the movie. Pointless to the main plot so to speak. But the penultimate S-and-M when Ana tells Christian she wants to be punished (no nudity) until it hurts will certainly be included to explain the subsequent break-up.
................................The End.....................................
Of course we can expect unrated (extended) DVD edition to maximize profits. Denial at first from the studios/producers afraid the news will affect eventual attendance at the box-office. Maybe the extended DVD version will have extensive graphic sex scenes and nudity (lengthy frontal by Ana Steele) if the movie is a financial success (depends solely on fickle female audience imo)
My projection for final gross will be around a conservative $150-$180 in US and low receipts in foreign territories ($30-$50). Likely to be banned in large parts of Asia, heavily censored in certain European and South American countries.

Ex-Porn Star Harmony Rose, AKA Tracy Rolan, Volunteers As EMT
Harmony Rose, 29, is a former porn actress who is now training as a volunteer EMT in Roanoke, VA. Harmony Rose, whose birth name is Tracy Rolan, was featured in more than 200 pornographic videos between 2004 and 2010. Her videos include "Masturbation Nation 3," "Farmer's Daughters Take It Off" and "Sack Lunch."
Rose, 29, has since left the adult entertainment industry, WDBJ 7 reports, and she's training as a volunteer EMT with the Cave Spring Rescue Squad in Roanoke, VA, for the past few months. Now some officials are getting hot and bothered over her participation.
Exactly when Rose left the industry is unclear, though IMDB lists her most recent credit as occurring in 2010.
Fire Chief Rich Burch learned about Rose's previous career from Roanoke Fire and Rescue employees, Director of Public Information Teresa Hall told the Huffington Post. Having never dealt with such a situation before, Burch contacted the Office of the County Attorney.
Attorney Paul M. Mahoney replied on June 27. In a letter obtained by the Huffington Post, Mahoney stated that Roanoke County does not generally get involved in the decisions of volunteer rescue squads. However, the attorney also noted, "Anything that results in public ridicule of the volunteer squads . . . must be avoided."
Mahoney then recommended that Burch "supports the decision of the volunteer chief if she decides to terminate the membership of [Rose]."
The community, however, seems to be on Rose's side. Of the over 500 comments that appear under the story on WDBJ's Facebook page, nearly all support Rose's continued work with the rescue squad.
"I believe if you or a loved one is having a true medical emergency," Jonathan Whorley wrote, "your [sic] not going to care about the former occupation of the person helping you."
"It's not like she was doing porn in the squad building," Theodore Hughes pointed out.
Since the publication of WDBJ's article, the station has been slammed for encouraging readers to look up Rose's work. The original version of the article included a linked sentence that read, "Just Google her name and you’ll find hundreds of pornographic videos of hers." The station later took the link down.
The Huffington Post would never do such a thing.
Harmony Rose is still training as a volunteer EMT.
* Harmony was such a world class performer particularly when it comes to double penetration. Glad the folks mind-set are slowly changing towards porn stars. Everyone should be able to make an honest living even if some vocations are considered filthy and outside the society's norms.

Looking for a safe driver with a clean driving record. E-mail at ***********@comcast.net with references. We can discuss compensation. Thanks!From Me to ************@comcast.net
Good afternoon.
My name is Mike Partlow and I am very interested in this job. I have a lot of experience driving under dangerous conditions and guarantee your daughter will arrive safely at home every day.
If you are still looking for a dependable driver, please write back.
Sincerely,
Mike Partlow
From Kate ******** to Me
Mr. Partlow (can I call you Mike?),
I still am looking for a driver. Good to know you can handle dangerous conditions...but there probably will not be any dangerous conditions; you are just taking my daughter down Rt 3.
Tell me about yourself - are you a professional driver? Do you have any references from past jobs? What kind of car do you own? Is it reliable?
- Kate
From Me to Kate ********
Kate,
You can call me Mike. I was never one for formalities.
A little about myself, I am 37 years old, and worked as a mercenary driver in the Middle East. I have escorted important clients through high-risk areas in Iraq and Afghanistan for five years. I have seen a lot of action, and have ensured the safety of my clients. Out of all the jobs I have done, 90% of my clients arrived at their destination unharmed.
I have several references. I'll have one of them e-mail you.
My car is very safe and reliable - perfect for your daughter. It is an armored 2007 Chevy Suburban. All glass has been replaced with multi-layered ballistic glass capable of stopping a 7.62 x 39 bullet dead in its tracks. The doors, roof, and floor have been reinforced with ballistic steel/composite that can withstand IED blasts and stop grenade fragmentation. This car has been put to the test and will always deliver.
Safety and protection is my #1 priority. The car is fully loaded with an HK416 assault rifle that fire under the toughest conditions. The roof has a 40mm MK-19 automatic grenade launcher turret installed. Hopefully we won't have to use it, but it is good to have. I can't tell you how many times I've had to return fire against an enemy APC. I assure you that nobody will mess with your daughter as I escort her home from soccer practice.
Now lets discuss pay. I have various security packages I offer, and for your daughter I recommend my medium package which will run you $200 an hour. I also have a minimal package which is only $125 an hour. It is entirely up to you.
Let me know,
Mike Partlow
From Kate ******** to Me
This has to be a joke. This isnt Bagdad, it's suburban PA...
Are you just being sarcastic? What do you really drive? I want to pay 30 bucks a day, tops.
From Me to Kate ********
Kate,
Safety/protection is no joke. For $30, you are likely to get some 17-year-old kid who just got his license and will drive your daughter in his unarmored Ford Focus. I've seen an IED blow a Ford Focus into thousands of pieces, none larger than a golf ball.
My security package is well worth the $200 per trip. We will pick your daughter up in a random Suburban. Four trucks will pull up, and she will get into a random one every day. This is so the enemy does not know which one to attack. The Suburban she is in will have an armed security detail of men I have worked with in Iraq. We know what we are doing. She will be escorted in our convoy down the highway at a high rate of speed to avoid stopping in "kill zones." All vehicles are equipped with an MIRT which is used to change the traffic lights to green so we will not have to slow down. Your daughter will arrive safely in your arms no later than 20 minutes from when she is extracted from the soccer field.
Please reconsider my offer. You can't put a price on your daughter's safety.
From Kate ******** to Me
Stop wasting my time. Don't e-mail me again.

Dear Kate,
I am an old client of Mike Partlow. He told me that you wanted a reference for a job you are considering him for. Let me start off by saying, you could not have made a finer choice. Mike is the best there is. He literally saved my life countless times in Iraq. Whatever you are using him for, you have made the right choice. You will be 100% safe.
When I think about my experience Mike, one time stands above the rest. Back in 2005, I was a contractor in Iraq and had hired Mike's security detail to escort me through Fallujah. Everything was going fine until our convoy was hit by an IED. I don't remember much, but next thing you know, I woke up in a Republican Guard prisoner camp with Mike. I thought we were goners. They took me and Mike into a hut, where there were at least eight armed soldiers placing bets. They were going to make Mike and I play Russian Roulette. Mike convinced a soldier to let him play with three bullets, instead of one, which I thought was crazy. Mike even put the gun to his head once and pulled the trigger. He started laughing, and the soldiers started laughing too. When they let their guard down, he immediately shot three of them in the head, grabbed one of their AKs, and gunned down the other five soldiers. I didn't think we would make it out of that one alive, but thanks to Mike's heroic actions, I am here today.
You cannot go wrong with Mike Partlow. He is the best of the best. One time he killed an entire truck of insurgents using just a fork from his salad. He makes do with what he has and will survive the worst of situations.
If you have any more questions about Mike, please don't hesitate to contact me. I owe the man my life.
Nick
From Kate ******** to Me
what in the hell...
