With the impending worldwide DVD release of “Dead Hooker In A Trunk” on 31st Jan, RIKKI GAGNE, one of the stars of the audacious flick is deserving of the plaudits. RIKKI is absorbing from the start as Junkie, the rock singer who together with her friend Badass (Jen Soska) find a dead hooker in the car boot, kickstarting a psychedelic adventure where they find themselves trying to stay alive. In the school of hard knocks, getting your arm ripped off by a truck is a given as this is exactly what happens to RIKKI’s character Junkie. You may already know RIKKI as a premier stuntwoman best known for her work on many episodes of “Smallville”. Phenomenal is not enough a word to describe her as she’s put her body on the line in some of the most death-defying stunts. She’s hung on for dear life from fast moving vehicles and even jumped through glass windows, inspiring awe for this courageous actress/stuntwoman.

Jen & Sylvia Soska sure have the knack for spotting talent and it’s great to know Soska twins have casted RIKKI in their upcoming film “American Mary”. It’s a freakish insight into the world of underground surgery with Katharine Isabelle of “Ginger Snaps” fame in the lead role. Wondering how RIKKI fits into the grand scheme of things but it’s sure going to be a visceral experience. This stylish brunette is regarded as someone who can hooked audiences into having a vested interest in the persona she’s depicting. Adept as both a stunt double or leading lady, Miss RIKKI GAGNE will be inveigling us for the long haul.

Intriguing women of horror have always been sought after and TRACY TEAGUE has played her part in fascinating us in 2 films. Last year’s “Respire”, the soul transference thriller had TRACY as a woman with a fatal disease who discovers a chest with a mysterious content capable of curing her. Eventually, it’s revealed there is someone’s breath in the chest which if inhaled can magically heal anyone. The only downside is you gain the person’s personality, his or her bad traits may just come to haunt you! TRACY admirably deals with her character’s conflicted psyche, from dealing with her debilitating condition to the euphoria of learning she can actually overcome her sickness. With a plot this unique and an exquisite leading lady, it’s a recommended watch for any viewer. She continued her duel with mortality in “The Haunting Of Pearson Place” as Gwen, one-half of a couple acquiring a house with some dark history. Always ensure a thorough background check on a property before you purchase for it could become a ‘GRAVE’ mistake as the couple soon find out. If there’s one common thread in both of TRACY’s movies is how immaculate she is in all her scenes.

The perfect representation of a living doll, I can say with certainty how elegant she is in person too. Whether she’s clad in a bikini or in glamorous wear, TRACY captivates from head to toe. Make sure you grab them DVDs of both her films for she’s already been talked about as a rising Scream Queen with one reviewer calling her the next Linnea Quigley. Now there’s some big shoes to fill yet TRACY’s onscreen dynamism can only lead to eventual success. She sees herself as a work in progress and as she evolves, we are in for quite a treat from this standout performer.

In honor of Australia Day, today’s spotlight is on the radiant Australian actress HANNAH LEVIEN. It was in the role of a teenage runaway from the jarring flick “The Horseman” that I first came across HANNAH. The Horseman tells of the killing spree a man undertakes after first finding out his daughter (played by HANNAH) is dead and later discovering a tape of her heavily doped up, being forced to perform lewd acts in an adult movie. As he executes his ultimately gory revenge on the people responsible for his family tragedy, the disturbing themes multiply as a web of conspiracy is eventually revealed.

Having turned us on as China Rose in the raucous Southern slaughter fest “2001 Maniacs: Field Of Screams”, she’s remembered for those girl-on-girl kissing scenes that’s as steamy as it can get. In her cleavage-friendly, body hugging qipao, she dazzled more than just the eyes as the seductive dragon lady who also happens to be a vengeful spirit. You may recall her hilarious dance scene, a tribute to Jennifer Beals “She’s A Maniac” from Flashdance where she, Christa Campbell and Lin Shaye were sweating it off in leotards….what a feeling indeed! KATHRYN is a funny girl at heart and what we wouldn’t pay to watch her do more comedy.

East Meets West in elegant fashion as this true blue Californian Valley Girl of Chinese heritage is known for being wonderful in everything she’s done. On stage, in film and on TV, ELAINE shimmers with dexterity which has seen her switch from character to character with nimble motility. She appeared in “Bridesmaids”, one of the smash comedies of 2011 opposite Kristen Wiig as one half of a couple shopping for jewelry. She’s probably garnered a fair bit of attention after that and judging from positive press from a range of respected media on her amazing theatre work, she’s one to keep tabs on.

Regular guest spots on hit shows such as “NCIS:LA”, “The Closer” and “Entourage” has allowed her the avenue to express herself with such engaging poise. If you’re a fan of the darkly satirical “Six Feet Under”, Elaine was endearing on it and in her upcoming romantic comedy “Wedding Palace”, she’s set to replicate that serene cuteness. A smile does go a long way in being extra appealing and ELAINE has one to meet our warmest approval. ELAINE’s soft-spoken charms are leading the way and showering affection towards her arises without fail.

The movie “I Am Not A Hipster” may soon propel Kandis Erickson to indie sweetheart status and with its run at Sundance 2012, she’ll be sought after in no time. Set in the world of counter culture and indie rock, she plays one of 3 sisters who help their brother to spread the ashes of their late mother. The mellowness of the music scene eventually shapes how the family will heal. Transitioning from Scream Queen (having been captivated by her in “Seance”) to Indie Sweetheart is more than paying dividends with this interesting role and Kandis is a sweet surprise waiting to be uncovered. One of the prettiest faces in the biz, she’ll quickly amass a following.

Lynn Shelton Directs Emily Blunt in “Your Sister’s Sister”

While she may not be onscreen this time around, Lynn Shelton roped in two of the most admired actresses Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt to headline her movie “Your Sister’s Sister”. She stuck gold before with “Humpback”, the comedy about 2 straight men exploring making a gay film to truly test their friendship. In “Your Sister’s Sister”, will there be a threesome that will eventually lead to a discovery of emotional baggage. As a storyteller, she expertly injects humor in her films and weaves them into the more morose subject matter.

Fabianne Therese in “John Dies At The End”

It’s like Bradley Cooper’s “Limitless” on steroids with huge servings of “Quantum Leap”. That’s the premise of the surreal flick “John Dies At The End”. At Sundance, we can never get enough of the horror entries and this one introduces sci-fi elements as a new drug is on the streets wreaking havoc by transporting people across dimensions…until some return to their point of origin as non-humans. Cue newcomer Fabianne Therese as a significant character and with the film containing dark comedy, she’ll feel right at home. She has the enigmatic features to pull it off, a starlet to be excited about.

With the very recent DVD release of “Mutilation Man”, all eyes are sure to be directed on the slasher’s beguiling leading lady SABRINA CARMICHAEL. Aside from her intense sex scene which occurs fairly early in the movie, the title of the flick is a giveaway on the torturous ordeal lying ahead. As you will find out, SABRINA’s luminously gorgeous face is not spared the excruciating torment carried out by a masked man out for revenge. This may be an indie but the reveal at the end is well worth the wait! You do cringe when somebody as pretty as SABRINA is subjected to such pain and we’re left wishing it never happens to us or anyone close we know. SABRINA has also done spots on “Community” and “True Blood” enriching her experiences as an actress primarily because she got to hang out with Chevy Chase all day long. How cool is that! She’s also in the throes of modeling although her focus has now leaned to the realm of acting, preferring its intimacy and deriving a sense of fulfillment.

Having read her tweets @MsSabrinaEileen, I can gather that she has a wicked sense of humor. A woman with sass always piques our interest and she’s incredibly delectable too. Check SABRINA channeling elegance at her MODEL MAYHEM PAGE. What stands out is her spirit and even though her stint on “Community” didn’t lead to something bigger, she’s still looking forward to the opportunities that so often fall into place. One movie reviewer rates “Mutilation Man” as a film bound to rock your socks off and we’ll discover SABRINA can do likewise.

When CNN included MARIANNA PALKA in their “Young People Who Rock” List, it started a chain reaction of buzz for this multi-talented entertainer. In 2008, she was hailed as the youngest filmmaker at 26 and gain numerous plaudits for her movie “Good Dick”. Poignant and moving, she weaved a tale of the travails a woman so often encounters in real life specifically struggles in love. At this year’s Sundance Film Fest, this Polish/Scottish beauty will be exceptional once again in “Spoonful” as one of three sisters return to their childhood home after the death of their father. Much of MARIANNA’s work either onscreen or behind the scenes as a director breeds a social awareness which she believes to be the soul of any good independent film. Not only am I honored to be in contact with such an illustrious and intelligent lady, her indie cred is very much a big draw for me and for many who have deemed her highly watchable. One only has to look at a reel to witness how impressive she can be.

Juicy fact: Marianna is the long-time girlfriend of Jason Ritter, TV star and son of the late John Ritter. It’s a love built on devotion hence they’re journey as a couple for more than 10 years. They’ve both gifted of course and good-looking, a true match made in heaven! Truthful performances are what she delivers and the grittiness so apparent in the thriller “Restive” is augmented by MARIANNA’s depth at portraying an abused woman. Since she’s able to stir the pot of emotions so adeptly, the consensus would of one of instant admiration. Just like her peers, MARIANNA is driving the indie spirit towards its pinnacle.

Tinkerbell glamor meets sweet mystique at Sundance Film Festival 2012 as French cutie LILA SALET promises to bewitch audiences. It’s because of founder Robert Redford and the continuous success of this prestigious event that has enabled us to glimpse the global foxiness of screens sirens. This year’s edition runs from January 19th to 29th at Park City, Utah and “Simon Killer”, a mystery revolving around a college graduate’s chance encounter with a young prostitute on the streets of Paris sees LILA in a supporting role. There’s sexual undercurrents in this tale of hidden secrets weaved by the masterful Antonio Campos and for some may remind us of Brando’s “Last Tango in Paris”. This actress/model is a fixture on red carpets, gracing last year’s Cannes as a fashion forward stunner. If ever they did a French version of “My Week With Marilyn”, LILA would be perfect as the Blonde Icon, not taking anything away from the brilliance of Michelle Williams. Being also regarded as versatile gives LILA a distinct advantage.

Stumbling upon the scene of her stimulating a guy in the surrealistic TV series “Xanadu” (watch the video above), it’s obvious she’s has no qualms in the edgy sensuality stakes. The toothpaste ejaculation is pretty bizarre but at least we get an eyeful of LILA as a spaced-out vixen amidst the electronic beats. She is a doll and her career has indeed revolved around music with a notably sexy appearance in Benjamin Diamond video “There is a girl”. On her way to becoming another of France’s gorgeous discovery, here’s a belle to covet and she goes by the name of LILA SALET.

With Chinese New Year a few days away, let’s instill some Asian flavor by having ELAINE LOH enchant us right here. For those in the know, ELAINE is actually of Hispanic and Asian heritage, a very alluring combo indeed, those almond shaped eyes, kissable lips and the soft hair very much desirable facets. This up and comer has just scored a role in “The Mentalist” where she’s currently having a ball on set. She’s acknowledged the cast may be the nicest people she’s had the pleasure of working alongside and I have a feeling Simon Baker may have something to do with those friendly vibes. “Californication”, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “Chuck” are some of the other shows where ELAINE has displayed her glowing lissomeness. There’s a collection of videos detailing her TV appearances at the ELAINE LOH OFFICIAL SITE. It’s been said she even gets into character when having a shower…what endearing dedication! Hmmm….or were some of you living in hope of seeing lady parts after finding this out since ELAINE is so attractive…;)

Her fight reel shows another dimension to her onscreen abilities and she sure served up some action moves in spy comedy “One Sharp Girl”. Additionally her vocal prowess as a theatre actress and her experience as a teacher/private coach for aspiring actors is indicative of ELAINE’s diverse competencies. This month has all the makings of an auspicious one and since ELAINE has caught our fancy lately, there’ll be a measure of devotion coming her way.
