A word from Rachel: “Bulgaria is an interesting country. The people are lovely. There are potholes the size of small planets.”

UK Trailer Provides A Less Bloody Look At ‘Conan the Barbarian’

The new UK trailer for Conan the Barbarian gives us a new look at Marcus Nispel‘s film. This time, the focus shifts from watching dudes and monsters getting hacked to pieces to story details for some reason. Here we see Stephen Lang chewing the scenery as the angel of death that kills Conan‘s father and thus sets the young barbarian on his path. There’s also a lot of sword swinging, knife throwing, monster-battling, and text set against a fiery background for all you barbarian purists.

There’s a new red band trailer for Conan online and there is just blood all over the place now. Seriously. We’re gonna need to call Harvey Keitel.

Any fears that this film would not be R-rated can now be stabbed through the neck with a sword and then twisted so that blood and throat shards splash outward in a dramatic fashion that times well with a heavy metal dude screaming about how he doesn’t take any crap. (IGN)

TV PITCHMAN BILLY MAYS HAS PASSED AWAY

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Television’s ultimate pitchman has passed away. Billy Mays, the charismatic and clamorous infomercial host died in his sleep after sustaining a head injury during a rough plane landing this past weekend. The very likeable Mays is currently co-starring with Anthony Sullivan on the Discovery Channel show Pitchmen. This really is such a shame. It’s always sad to see someone cut down while their star is on the rise. His contributions to the tapestry of television will be sorely missed. (Variety)

And on a side note, can we please put a stop to all of these recent high profile deaths? Keyboard Cat’s paws are gonna fall off at this rate.

‘STAR TREK’ STARLET: RACHEL NICHOLS

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Here’s the last Star Trek starlet to get you prepped for Abrams’s sexed up reboot, if you haven’t seen it three times already. Our featured girl’s roles have gotten smaller and smaller each day, and we’re ending on a girl who’s character is basically the equivalent of an Original Series red shirt, minus the expendable part. Yes, it’s siren Rachel Nichols as "Gaila," the green Star Fleet Cadet!

Where You’ve Seen Her Before: Rachel’s familiar with Abrams and company, having guest starred on the fifth (and final) season of "Alias" as CIA Agent Rachel Gibson. She also showed up in the remake of The Amityville Horror, in Charlie Wilson’s War as one of "Charlie’s Angels," and in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, which you have secretly seen and enjoyed on a lonely saturday night. You’re going to be seeing a lot more of Rachel this summer, as she’s also starring as Scarlett in G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra.

Random Quote: "I am smarter than you, and I am better looking, and I have an accomplished career, and I’m not even thirty."

Well then. See how accomplished Rachel is in these racy photos after the jump.
