Showgirls (1995)

Mr. Skin Has a Few Casting Ideas

According to the Hollywood rumor mill, German writer/director Marc Vorlander is at work on the follow-up to the 1995 skinstant classic Showgirls, called Showgirls: Story of Hope.

The details are sketchy at best, but blogs are reporting that the plot will have Rena Riffel's character Penny traveling to Frankfurt, Germany, to seek revenge on the people responsible for giving her brother a deadly dose of cocaine.

There is also a trippy-looking teaser video for the movie that you can watch here.

Since all the casting is still up in the air, we at MrSkin.com have decided to take a stab at casting this flick, under the assumption that all the main characters will be returning.

With no other information to go on, we’ll do what we do in Vegas. We gamble.

For Nomi Malone, the hooker-turned-stripper-turned-showgirl played by a nude Elizabeth Berkley in the original, we have three suggestions:

AnnaLynne McCord of 90210 and Nip/Tuck fame for her trashy, bisexual, frizzy-haired sex appeal; Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively, whose ice cream photoshoot put all sorts of ideas into her fans’ heads; and recent newsmaker Taylor Swift, who would be a perfect naïve ingénue.

We also have three suggestions for Crystal Connors, Nomi’s arch rival and would-be lesbian lover. In the original, the role was played by Gina Gershon.

Our choices are: Marisa Tomei, who was one of our favorite strippers of all time in The Wrestler; Megan Fox, whose refusal to get nude would immediately disqualify her with extreme prejudice; and Rosario Dawson, who’s a little young for the part, but more than sexy enough.

Roll the dice and read the rest of our suggested cast list after the jump.

According to Kiss, everybody's going to move their feet and leave their seat in Detroit Rock City. Mr Skin agrees, but would like to add that he prefers it when beautiful women SHOW their seats.

In our continuing Top 10 salute to the hottest babes in the American Midwest, we move from Cleveland to Detroit, the home of Motown, the auto industry, and some serious engine-revvers like Kristen Bell, supermodel Christie Brinkley, and Showgirls star Elizabeth Berkley!

So move your feet, leave your seat, and get UP! These Michigan mamas will blow you away!

Veteran vixens strip to skimpy swimsuits, popping eyes and pleasing paparazzi alike.

Although summer 2009 has been below normal temperatures in much of the United States, in Sexy Celebrity Land -- which is anywhere the likes of Rosario Dawson and Jennifer Connelly turn up (and on) -- conditions are perpetually blazing.

Just check out those two stupendously stacked stars in their wet, wee-proportioned swimwear at CelebNewsWire.

It even looks like Rosario (left) might have been splashing around, scantily clad, with no less an erotic icon than Gina Gershon -- and we've seen how that sexily snarling beauty handles female playmates in Showgirls (1995) and Bound (1996).

No such luck in catching any of that behavior in this photo set, but you can always use your imagination. Or just go look up their movies here on the site. Really, all these ladies get spectacularly naked!

Before seeing Jennifer Connelly nude, though, tease yourself with her bikini after the jump.

Picking up where we left off last week...

Among its many repulsive and/or revolutionary revelations, the classic splatter blow-out Pieces (1982) proved (as its ads touted) that “you don’t have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre.”

Now the heroic exploitation-movie archeologists at Grindhouse Releasing bring that very same chainsaw massacre right to you via a new, gloriously realized two-disc special edition Pieces DVD.

Meanwhile, at a midnight showing quite possibly near you (with more on the way), Repo! The Genetic Opera (2007) is packing screwed-up teenage asses into theater seats like no cult sensation in recent memory (or mammaries).

Repo’s got blood, it’s got guts, it's got body-fluid thrill freaks looking for a kick, and it’s got a Gothily tarted-up Paris Hilton.

McBeardo reports on the considerable sex appeal of all of the above after the jump. Just click on Paris Hilton's nipple.

Mimi and Xina Are Music to Our Eyes in Brand New Videos

Everybody loves Showgirls. It's just a fact. Elizabeth Berkley as naked showgirl Nomi Malone, Gina Gershon as her naked showgirl rival, and tons of other girls as tons of other naked showgirls.

So it comes as no surprise that scantily-clad songbird Mariah Carey is also a fan of the film. At least, we can gather that much by watching her new video for the song "I'm Still in Love with You", in which the golden-voiced, honey-skinned Mimi hits the stage in flouncy feathers and not much else!

Check out the video after the cut, and also get a peek at the new vid from Christina Aguilera as an intergalactic space babe you'll want to probe any day!
