Eva Green: Semi-Nude Sin City Poster BANNED By MPAA

The first Sin City film gave us Jessica Alba as the world’s first stripper to wear pants on stage. But while Alba only takes it off for Entertainment Weekly , Eva Green, her co-star in the Sin City sequel is already being told by the MPAA to put some darn clothes on and the movie hasn’t even been released yet! The MPAA is reportedly preventing Dimension Films from shipping the above poster of Green to movie theaters for display in their lobbies. The reason? Well, in a word, boobs. In many words: “Nudity – curve of under breast, and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown.” Yes, that’s the MPAA’s official explanation. They’re the ones holding meetings about dark nipple circles and we’re made to seem like pervs for wanting to see that poster in theaters?! What a world! Neither Green nor the film’s director Robert Rodriguez have spoken publicly about the controversy, but Page Six quotes an anonymous expert who says this sort of situation is not uncommon and the studio is simply being asked to “tweak” the poster – an unfortunate choice of words given the nature of this nipple-based controversy. Many have pointed out the irony of the fact that the MPAA has no problem with the gun in Green’s hand, but we won’t go into that here… 33 Memorable Movie Posters 1. Yeezus Movie Poster The first poster for Yeezus is out. Kanye West, of course, is behind the mysterious film.

Kim Kardashian Wedding: Gold Toilets, Snubbed Opera Singers & SO Much More!

Was  Kim Kardashian actually humiliated on her wedding day? Probably not. But The New York Post has come out with the most detailed account yet of this reality star’s nuptials to Kanye West… and if even half of these items are true, everyone in charge of this debacle should be mortified. Kim Kardashian Wedding Photos 1. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Just Married! They were Just Married! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West pose here inside their wedding photo booth. According to Page Six of that newspaper, the following all took place on Saturday in Florence: Kimye got married on a ridge atop the Forti di Belvedere, meaning everything associated with the ceremony had to be hoisted via giant crane. The bathrooms were housed in a 49-foot tall gold box that was placed alongside the dinner tables and described by one Italian as “the star of the show.” Many referred to the contraption as the Gold Toilet Tower . In lieu of place cards, stonemasons engraved the names of guests into the marble table at the spot where each were to sit. Many names were misspelled and chaos ensued when various entourage members didn’t have a place carved for them. A total of 30 life-sized nude marble statues were planned for decoration around the tables, but only 10 remained intact and four of those were missing heads. They were still used as decoration. Kanye decided at the last minute to do away with 80 moving lights that had been installed around the dance floor. They had taken four days to put up. The rapper allegedly said of the change: ” I’m in the center of this party , and I’m the only one people need to see. The rest of these people don’t need lights on them.” West also hated the all-white bar in front of the Gold Toilet Tower and started sawing it in half himself . He worked with a couple employees to tack on some raw wood and then declared the item “art.” The $136,000 sound system was dubbed not “Minimalist” enough by the artist, who used his iPod for all music until after dinner. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Honeymoon John Legend sat at a custom-built marble piano . Kanye gave a 45-minute wedding speech  and danced alone with Kim for five songs. Jaden Smith donned a white Batman costume and ran around like crazy off from 8:30 p.m. until 10:25 p.m., smashing glasses off tables. Kardashian was 25 minutes late to the wedding. One older woman fell down from being so drunk and a Justin Bieber fan who crashed the festivities fell from a tower and was sent to the hospital. Andrea Bocelli sang during Kim’s processional, but there was no seat ordered for him. After his performance, the iconic blind artist was told ” it’s time for you to get in your car and go home .” Jay Z gifted Kanye with a giant, gold-dipped bottle of Chianti with a diamond in place of the cork. And they all lived happily ever after?
