One of the last true giants of classic exploitation filmmaking, superhumanly prolific Fred Olen Ray was born on this date in 1954.

Fred is credited with directing well over 100 films. Among his breast efforts are some genuine skin classics, such as Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers and Evil Toons, which feature T&A-list B-movie bombshells on the order of Michelle Bauer, Linnea Quigley, Monique Gabrielle, Katie Jordan, Allanah Rhodes, and Tricia Burns.

Ray’s Inner Sanctum even features career-hottest performance by Hollywood babes Tanya Roberts and Margaux Hemingway.

Still pumping out affably off-the-wall cheapies that include Bikini Airways, Bikini Chain Gang, Bikini Drive-In, Bikini Hoe-Down, Bikini Pirates and Bikini Girls from the Lost Planet, Fred Olen Ray keeps low-budget skinema alive and kicking.

And, for that, Mr. Skin one-handedly salutes him! more…

Sexy Socialite Daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates Has Close Call

It was a case of like mother, like daughter in London on Sunday when, like her mother, hot TV presenter Paula Yates, before her, pretty Peaches Geldof accidentally overdosed on drugs at her home.

Peaches, along with her similarly named sisters Fifi and Pixie, is the daughter of do-gooder/Boomtown Rat Sir Bob Geldof. But it was Boomtown Brat Peaches who was receiving "Live Aid" last weekend! The Sun quotes a source as saying:

“Peaches could not breathe for several minutes after suffering a respiratory arrest. Her friend had to give chest pumps and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If she had not received this she could have died or she could have suffered brain damage.

"Peaches had gone into respiratory arrest, in which a patient's breathing stops but the heart doesn't. Peaches refused to go to the hospital with the emergency crew, because she was afraid her father would find out about the drug overdose.

"When she came to she started mouthing off and told the ambulance crew, ‘You have to respect my privacy'. She then told them to get out. And she refused to go hospital to have further treatment because she was worried about it getting out.”

We wish Peaches a speedy recovery and hope that she "gets out" on screen very soon. And for a few other beauteous blondes who dabbled with drugs and didn't end up as lucky as Peaches Geldof, have a click and peek at the next page. more…
