Norah Jones Is the Newest Russ Meyer Girl [PIC]

Norah Jones ‘ music is as soft as they come, but the source material for her new album cover was designed to get you hard. Apparently producer Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse ) has an extensive collection of Russ Meyer posters in his Los Angeles studio, and Jones tells the New York Times that Meyer’s 1965 “roughie” Mudhoney was on her mind while they were recording: “I always was looking at it and thinking ‘that’s so cool I want to look like her!’ I remember staring at the poster the whole time we made the record. It’s a great visual.” Unfortunately the visual is all we’re gonna get from the alluring Ms. Jones. The album cover removes all the amazing taglines from the original Mudhoney poster, like “ Passion debased by lust … leaves a taste of evil! ,”“… a film of ribaldry and violence made from the juice of life!, ” and Skin Central’s favorite, ” You will go away…whispering! ” Also missing are the topless trollops like Lorna Maitland and Antionette Christiani who made the original so MAMorable. Norah Jones isn’t the first musician to admire Russ Meyer – the ’90s grunge band Mudhoney is also named after the film. See what makes Mudhoney so SKINspiring right here at MrSkin.com!

Killer Joe To Be Released Uncut & NC-17 [PIC, VIDEO]

The producers of William Friedkin ‘s new movie Killer Joe (2011) are sticking to their guns. The legendary director of The Exorcist submitted this “totally twisted deep-fried Texas redneck trailer park murder story” to the dreaded MPAA censorship board earlier this year, only to be told that extensive cuts would be needed for an R rating. But rather than cut the already-infamous “KFC scene” where Matthew McConaughey forces Gina Gershon to give head to a chicken leg, the producers of Killer Joe have decided to wear the NC-17 rating with pride and will be releasing the movie uncut and on schedule on July 27. The NC-17 rating, long considered a cinematic “kiss of death”, has been experiencing something of a resurgence lately: Shame (2011) earned solid box office despite its NC-17 rating for graphic sex and nudity, a pattern that Killer Joe is hoping to replicate. (This will be Gina’s second foray into NC-17 territory: she also co-starred in the 1995 SKINstant classic Showgirls .) See the trailer for Killer Joe after the jump!
