Rising Starlet: Jessika Van
 |
 |
JESSIKA VAN is one of the sweetest personalities in the industry and she harbors a stirring versatility when it comes to her craft. There’s going to be 2 instances where we’ll start falling for her. First off is her appearance at the LA Shorts Fest in the bittersweet family drama “Reunion“. As the lead Hannah, she impeccably etches on her character’s face a display of vulnerability that’s honest a result of somber events in her life. On a lighter note, she will star in Season 2 of “Awkward” as Becca who gets into a tangle with Ming Huang played by Jessica Lu. In keeping with her preference for mixing it up, JESSIKA has revealed on a recent interview, it is a fun role which will keep everyone guessing. One can deduce that this inviting girl is all for the notion that variety is the spice of life!
It’s great to see her flying the flag for Asian-American talents and she can also be beguiling as a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist and Dancer. Being Asian myself, JESSIKA would definitely belong in a special place of my heart and it’s only natural to champion her onscreen exploits, especially since she’s been amazingly likable on the independent scene. Admittedly, JESSIKA’s adorable voice adds an extra layer to her timeless appeal. All signs point to her progression into a breakout star and if her varied onscreen intensity is anything to go by, she’s going to be well-received and enjoy an enduring devotion.
Naughty And Nice: 12 Actresses with The Red-Hot Sizzle Part 1
1. ALEXANDRA ACKERMAN
 |
NAUGHTY FACTOR: Having moved to the Big Apple, Alexandra is dabbling in musical theater and was recently cast in the off off broadway musical “Have You Tried Sexx?”. She even displays her vocal talents with a sexy Jazz Number Bertha de Blues! Having watched her for some time, I liked to use the phrase ‘Voluptuosity’ to praise her saucy attributes; A voluptuous beauty with the necessary electricity defining her every nuance as a performer.
NICE FACTOR: She’s consistently kept in contact with her fans (me being one…YAY!) and has also updated me on her life both professionally an personally. Kindly updating me on what she’s been up to, she recently played Rita Coolidge on the bio channel in the show “Celebrity Ghost Sightings” as well as having two Herbal Essences commercials air. Alexandra is also the one who reminded me to come up with this article, thereby inspiring me to greater heights!
2. DEBRA HARRISON-LOWE
 |
NAUGHTY FACTOR: If the number of views (which has surpassed 115,000) on youtube of her lovemaking scene from “The House Of The Rising Number” are a reflection of Miss Debra Harrison-Lowe’s appeal, it is a justifiable one. Her tumble in the hay with Danny Trejo ranks as one of the steamiest in 2011. Things got even more tastier when she starred in the raunchy TV show “Chemistry” as a shoe consultant with a foot fetish…I bet there’s Happy Feet eveywhere!
NICE FACTOR: While she’s comfortable with the diction of any accent, it has to be her native British one that prompts avid fascination. It’s great to see Debra keeping the Brit accent on “Chemistry”, her classy enunciation makes me want to listen to her all day long. Endowed with a pair of gorgeous blue eyes and her endearing disposition, there’ll be plenty of global infatuation in her future.
3. SHANOLA HAMPTON
 |
NAUGHTY FACTOR: The mega racy trailer for Season 2 of “Shameless” (above) unmistakably affirms why Shanola Hampton is one of the Sexiest Women in TV Land. The kind of tease she generates with her built for sin figure, countless disrobing and there’s even a lil’ booty shaking at the stripper pole as Veronica Fisher in the clip is the continuation of the sensual fervor she represents on the audacious show. Yummy! We want more please!
NICE FACTOR: Success has come quickly for her yet Shanola is as down-to-earth as she’s always been. For me, I find it astounding that a big star such as her would be corresponding with me as well as her worldwide fans and acknowledging our fandom for her. Shanola’s megawatt smile mirrors the accommodating persona she has and her amiability is on genuine ground. We won’t overlook the kindheartedness that resides within her.
4. DEIRDRE LORENZ
 |
NAUGHTY FACTOR: The pic of her as a Santarina in the body-hugging zebra leotard (above) is both a fashion statement and a cherished image that will live long after Christmas. Deirdre once played an Atlantic City Seductress who kept the great Tony Soprano enchanted and while her wonderful indie feature “Santorini Blue” was a love story, the sight of her in various states of undress will always be mouth-watering for she has a killer bod.
NICE FACTOR: No hot list is ever complete without a vivacious blonde who so happens to be an indie darling and Deirdre is a delight on both counts. One has to have affectionate partiality towards Deirdre’s twitter profile where she summarizes herself as an actress, filmmaker and adventure seeker who loves a good story… and kindness. Now that’s tells a lot about her beautiful soul which I’m sure many can’t wait to be touched by.
5. MELISSA BACELAR
 |
NAUGHTY FACTOR: She’s proven that red is her color and even in the throes of blood, Scream Queen Melissa Bacelar effortlessly manages to bewitch. With the features of a Victoria Secrets angel and her head turning figure, she’s the bombshell every move buff, horror or otherwise would jump at any chance to meet. She’s also been an adult model, pin-up and has graced various magazines; This is one glamor girl we can’t stop gawking!
NICE FACTOR: She’s well regarded as a fabulous human being and a passionate advocater of animal rights…after all Melissa is a celebrated Pet Psychic. With so much love flowing through her every pore, it’s no wonder we want to display our appreciation for her right back. She also admires people who are grounded in the face of fame and is fully content with what she has achieved thus far, amazing us with her modest, easygoing nature.
6. BRIANA LANE
 |
NAUGHTY FACTOR: We love our sweethearts of the screen and when they don bikinis, the ardor justs keeps on growing. The photogenic Briana Lane is a sight to behold in her red bikini and is just as sumptuous as a host,model or actress. Check her out guest-starring on “Drop Dead Diva” as SIERRA who is involve in a litigation battle with her employer. It’s a flirtatiously sassy performance from Briana, even the camera was drawn to her enticing legs and perkiness.
NICE FACTOR: Briana is one of the very first actresses I came into contact on Facebook and she’s kept me as her friend/fan going on 2 plus years now. In the fickleness of the online world, she’s been a captivating constant and while some actresses have deleted me though as an actress lover i bear no grudge (ok…just a little…oops!), Briana does keep me in the loop on her endeavors. How can one not love an adorable face such as hers…Briana’s crushable indeed!
Sizzling Cutie: Abby Miller

Every day is a joy in itself when one gets to spotlight a screen honey and ABBY MILLER has the requisite demureness to awaken sentiments of ardor. With her being a Nebraska native, she’s the very first from the famed Cornhusker State to grace the Actress Obsession Blog and she’s a fetching gal indeed. Her invitingly large, brown eyes which wouldn’t be out of place in a Manga comic if ever her likeness is drawn, affirms her eye-catching accessibility. Evidently on TV ABBY shone as meth-addicted prostitute cum snitch Ellen May in Season 2 of “Justified”. Check out the memorable scene of her (above) in a wasted stupor trying her darnedest to seduce Timothy Olyphant’s straight laced U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. By going against the grain for this gritty, disaffected part, ABBY shows she doesn’t just rely on her cutesy appeal. In fact, she even walked the fine line between sympathy and comedy in the episode “The Rejected” of “Mad Men”. Yet again, she excelled as the naive secretary Dorothy who suffers a double blow; Rejection by her boyfriend and being brought to tears at a market focus group. You can watch ABBY in that scene at the ABBY MILLER OFFICIAL SITE plus many more clips of her in fine fettle.
She’s also prolific in the commercials arena, appearing in ads for McDonald’s, Target, Dunkin’ Donuts, Domino’s and American Express. Then there’s her as fascinating vocalist of the folk-pop combo, Jen & Abby; The voice of hers soaring blissfully over the acoustic richness of the bluesy tone echoed in the melodies which have even been featured on the hit show “Gilmore Girls”! Often labeled as having a kittenish virtue and having once remarked once that her attractive eyes are money-makers, we have to agree she’s a real crowd pleaser. I’ve always placed a high premium on sweetness and so should everyone in welcoming upcoming starlet ABBY MILLER.
Quirky Saucy: Nicole LaLiberte

 |
Effortlessly glamorous with a coyness that can leave men giddy with unbridled lust, Sex Kitten Nicole LaLiberte is garnering avid attention on TV. Oh and she’s also heating up the web world in the music video from the series “How To Make It In America”. Check it out (above) at around the ’2:05′ mark as she shows some skin and playfully utters the catch phrase ‘Luis Guzman’. She joins megastars Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams, Mark Wahlberg, Lake Bell and more as they band together in support for the riotously charming Puerto Rican character actor. Snaring the role of New York Hipster Lulu in Season 2 of “How To Make It In America”, Nicole is thrusting redheads into the spotlight yet again. While Christina Hendricks from “Mad Men” continues to fill us with lascivious thoughts courtesy of her womanly curves, Nicole is breathtakingly cute in her elegantly slender form that’s brimming with a coquettish streak. Her voguish magnetism, a by-product of her French roots is a clear winner.
Her choice of roles have been thoroughly eclectic from playing a troubled lesbian facing tough life choices in “My Normal” to participating in the orgy of sexual freedom that is the surreal drama “Kaboom”. In “My Normal”, she keeps you riveted with her metamorphosis into several guises including one as a dominatrix. If you seen her modeling pics, you will know that she does have one of the finest legs in the biz and shows them off temptingly in the film. “Kaboom” on the other hand surely has the most enticing young female cast ever assembled in an indie feature namely Haley Bennett, Roxane Mesquida, Juno Temple and Nicole of course, each possessing their own distinct presence that’s fashionably relevant and intriguing. Nicole provokes fascination because she constantly tows the line of evolution as an entertainer, having once described herself as someone who walks the borderline of style.
Sexy Siren: Kelly Ryan

It’s prominently Blonde Fever this week and its about to get hotter thanks to the luscious KELLY RYAN. Her guest-starring role as a client of ‘Mr Big’ Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane) on Season 2 of Hung may be brief yet it’s notably skintastic and KELLY does have a fabulous figure. A woman’s body is her temple for which men should go out of their way to appreciate and we often emphatically do…:) The show is just at the beginning of its second season and in keeping with the steamy nature of the series, there’s been a parade of exquisite ladies who never fail to excite our senses. When is the ‘Women Of Hung’ calendar coming out I wonder?? Nude scenes are never easy and I salute Kelly for being courageously adventurous in her craft. It’s her sheer dedication and attention to detail to every role she undertakes that led to her Best Actress Nomination for the unsettling short film “Turn Around”. She convincingly portrays the darker side of Christy Logan, an unfulfilled wife and mother who turns to the internet to satiate her innermost desires by partaking in wanton sex with strangers. Deep down, we all have lascivious desires of our own and the exhibitionist side of her character is laid bare with realistic depth by the accomplished KELLY.
For me the indelible moment is when the camera pans on her face, the furrows of discontent (the desperation for self gratification) and despair (as the deception starts gnawing on her psyche) etched ever so excruciatingly. That’s the measure of her acting acumen and let’s hope KELLY gets her day in the sun to bite into similarly meaty parts in the near future. It’s true that it only takes one instant to be mesmeric and KELLY so capably sustains avid interest no matter the role she embodies.
Sizzling Cutie: Lianne Spiderbaby

As a writer for Fangoria Magazine, LIANNE SPIDERBABY weaves thought-provoking perspectives on a complete spectrum of horror-related topics. One can almost compare her expertly crafted articles to the web that a spider magically spins. Then we come to the ‘Baby’ part of her name which is an unmissable nod to her baby-faced allure. Currently Scream Queen Of The Month for August 2011, she has a supporting role in “TBK: Toolbox Murders 2″, the blood-soaked sequel to its creepily, gory predecessor. She has launched her new series “Fright Bytes” on Youtube, treating us horror devotees to absorbing horror reviews, interviews with the stars and giving us the lowdown on conventions that’s all the rage. Ensure you don’t miss the very first episode ‘Scream 4′ as LIANNE spoofs the opening scene from the original “Scream: made famous by Drew Barrymore. She kept me entertained throughout and goes to show that she is as adept at acting as she is at writing reviews. Notably her critique on the “I Spit On Your Grave” remake evoked strong reaction from readers both supporting her views as well as some pretty nasty personal attacks with her in the crosshairs. Whether she ruffled some feathers or struck a raw nerve with her opinions on the film being a tad discriminatory to the female gender, we should still recognize she did raise compelling points in the well-researched article. Visit the LIANNE SPIDERBABY OFFICIAL SITE and get to know her in depth…in my opinion, she’s awesomely talented!
Fans can look forward to the LIANNE’s very first book “Grindhouse Girls”, detailing the emergence of exploitation actresses and the female movement in genre film from the 70′s/80′s. She’s quickly becoming a champion of female empowerment in cinema and is constantly striving to do even more. LIANNE serves as an inspiration to so many, who like her are doing their bid to promote horror and the performers that elevate the genre to become its highest reach globally.
Hot Brunette Of Summer: Jasmine Waltz

If you want a real-life Femme Fatale, sinfully saucy JASMINE WALTZ is here to deliver on all counts and stir up some naughtiness along the way. From allegedly being the other woman who caused the breakdown of the David Arquette/Courtney Cox union to being the scandalous highlight of a Valentine’s Day Sex Tape, JASMINE is increasingly becoming a top draw for entertainment gossip. She was even famously once in a bust up with a certain Lindsay Lohan and probably many were wishing she belted some sense into Lindsay (apparently JASMINE didn’t lay a hand on her but she sure wanted to!). Granted JASMINE can be a magnet for controversy but we shouldn’t be so quick to judge as she is plying her trade in an industry where eyes are constantly fixated on what you do. It’s best to draw attention to what JASMINE has and will do as a performer and of course how sultry she is, quite often in various stages of undress…:) She will go topless in the 2-Part Finale of “Femme Fatales” entitled “Visions” as Tara, a Magician’s Assistant with an erotic sensuality and the seductive feminine wiles to get what she wants. There’s a sexually-charged feistiness that she applies to great effect in many of her roles.
Who can ever forget seeing her all tied up in the nude bondage style from a scene in the indie thriller “Poker’s Run” and how she got the paparazzi snapping away when she washed her car in a strawberry-motif bikini while licking ice-cream…this girl is a firecracker of a tease! Dalliances with leading men such as Ryan Seacrest, Chris Pine, Kellan Lutz, Jesse McCartney and Doug Reinhardt affirms her desirability status. JASMINE WALTZ was born to be WILD and who’s to say this raven-haired vamp is not a sweetheart underneath the racy affront. We’re already looking forward to her next tempting escapade or celebrity hookup!
