Good radio
Was telling D3 and Randy about this earlier, a fairly remarkable NPR interview with a reformed skinhead:
Give it a listen
Give it a listen
The Hot List - Dave
In no particular order...
Emma Stone
She played hottie bad girl, Wichita, in Zombieland, and I believe her center of hottie power is her bangs. And slutty eye shadow.
Kristen Ritter
Whoa, bangs again - I'm sensing a trend. She was the lean, gothy, recovering addict girlfriend of Jesse Pinkman on the latest season of Breaking Bad.
Katie Featherston
To film audiences, she's the girl who was terrorized in Paranormal Activity. To guy film audiences, she's the BUSTY GIRL who spent a lot of time being terrorized IN HER UNDERWEAR in Paranormal Activity. There aren't any hottie pictures of her online because she appears to be just a normal girl (that's the appeal), but I screencapped a scene with cleavage, so...yay!
Kristen Schaal
That's right, Mel from Flight of the Conchords. By no means traditional, but there's something about her mousy obsessiveness that can't help but be cute. Kristen Schaal - makin' nasal sexy.
Renee Zellweger
I watched Chicago a few months ago and I've been pining for her ever since. She reached for the gun...and my heart! Now I don't think I've ever seen her in any other movies, so this might be more of a vote for a character than the actress. She really pulls off the slinky, ditsy, kind-of-sleazy 30s look in Chicago.

See how happy it makes 'em?
Look at that big shark-y smile! I think some Miss America contestant should compete on the platform that all sharks need love and, if she becomes Miss America, she will make sure all the sharks get petted every day.
Mega-Shark Just Needs Cuddles
Sharks can be cuddled like dolphins, say scientists
In experiments carried out in the US some varieties of shark allowed themselves to be picked from the water and cuddled.
Keepers at the UK's Sea Life Centres will now use the training techniques in the hope that they will end up with hundreds of trained sharks.
The experts at the aquariums are to begin a period of intensive tuition by using coloured boards and sounds to train the sharks in a similar way to that used by the scientist Ivan Pavlov in training dogs.
It will mean that feeding becomes easier because each shark in a tank will know when it is their turn to feed.
The Sea Life centres have many different types of shark and within just three months the brightest ones should be responding to commands.
Sharks learn the signals then, when they see or hear them, they approach the keeper who holds a "target stick".
The sharks then rub their noses against the stick and wait until they are fed.
No one had attempted to train sharks in this way before, but it could now teach experts a great deal about the creatures.
Carey Duckhouse, of Sea Life, said: "The US team has shown that many varieties of sharks can quickly learn to respond to a combination of audible and visual signals.
"A shark answers its own sound and colour signal by putting its nose on a target-stick held by the trainer, and keeping it there until it receives food.
"Some species, such as zebra sharks, will even roll over to have their tummies scratched or allow themselves to be lifted from the water without any kind of struggle.
"The implications for improving shark welfare are enormous. It means when we have to move them we can get the sharks to swim to a certain spot rather than have to chase them around."
