Taylor Hackford on Love Ranch — and Directing Wife Helen Mirren’s Sex Scene

It only took 25 years after their first, small collaboration, but director Taylor Hackford finally found the right film to make with his wife Helen Mirren. And to think: Love Ranch , which opens next week, almost didn’t open at all. The fictionalized story of the first legal brothel in the U.S. — and the crimes of passion (and otherwise) that helped sink it in 1977 — was in distribution limbo for most of 2009, ultimately breaking out earlier this year. Along with it come Mirren as a no-nonsense Nevada madam and Joe Pesci (in his first starring role in more than a decade) as her bare-knuckled pimpresario husband.

Russia Bans Scientology Literature

Works by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard will be added to the country's list of extremist literature for “undermining the traditional spiritual values of the citizens of the Russian Federation,” the Prosecutor General's Office said Wednesday. The ruling — initiated by transport prosecutors in the Siberian city of Surgut and Khanty-Mansiisk customs officers — is the latest use of the hotly debated law on extremism to target systems of belief that are not traditional in Russia. Individuals in possession of extremist materials can be jailed for up to 15 days or fined 3,000 rubles ($100). The law also allows for harsher punishment of suspects convicted of other crimes. http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/scientology-writings-banned-as-extrem… added by: Sexirobot

Tressel lauds Pryor’s compassion

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said Tuesday that quarterback Terrelle Pryor included a tribute to Michael Vick on his face during the Buckeyes’ opener because “there’s probably not a more compassionate human being in the world than Terrelle.” In Saturday’s 31-27 win over Navy, Pryor had lettering on his eyeblack patches in honor of his sister and also Vick. After the game, Pryor said he loved Vick and didn’t think the NFL quarterback was getting a fair shake from people critical of his role in bankrolling a dogfighting ring.
