So, what’s it gonna be, America? Robert Pattinson ‘s limo getting trashed by anti-capitalist protesters while he has sex with Juliette Binoche and nudecomer Patricia McKenzie (above)? Or Kristen Bell and her fiancee Dax Shepard in what’s so obviously a Quentin Tarantino ripoff, they ought to be sending him residuals? Ok, so we didn’t do a very good job selling either of this week’s nude releases. But Cosmopolis (2012) and Hit & Run (2012) are new (and nude) in theaters this weekend, and we’ve got all the naked details after the jump!
Labor Day is still a few weeks off, but the boob tube is already ramping up for the fall season. This week Boss returned for a second season on Starz , and Strike Back started its third season on rival network Cinemax . On the season premiere of Boss , Kathleen Robertson gave us her best boob scene yet as well as some bare butt SKINspecting herself in front of a mirror, and on Strike Back a pair of nudecomers, Lily Robinson and Melanie Liburd , both bared their pairs. Meanwhile, True Blood featured blood-soaked full frontal from Jessica Clark and boobs from Janina Gavankar . Nothing out of the ordinary. (And yes, we know how incredibly spoiled we are.) More pics after the jump!

As Hollywood processes the apparent suicide of filmmaker Tony Scott reports — included a report that he jumped to his death wearing the lucky (faded) red baseball cap that he first donned on the set of his blockbuster his Top Gun — I prefer to dwell, not on Scott’s tragic death, but his life in movies. In Roger Ebert’s review of Scott’s essential True Romance , the critic wrote: “This is the kind of movie that creates its own universe, and glories in it.” I actually think that assessment applies to most of Scott’s work and is what made him special as a filmmaker. Even when his movies weren’t cohesive — Domino or The Hunger come to mind— they were still worth watching and impossible to dismiss because they were filled with provocative ideas, images and themes that amounted to something more than a collection of scenes, acts and dialogue. Below, my list of Scott’s best movies. If you have a different list in mind, check out our Movieline poll where you can vote for your favorite Scott movie. 1. True Romance (1993): Quentin Tarantino usually gets the lion’s share of the credit for this adrenaline-stoking orgy of action and violence because he wrote the script, but it was Scott who shaped QT’s words and the performances of a killer cast — Christian Slater (at his peak), Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken (both memorable), Brad Pitt and an undiscovered James Gandolfini — into a sexy, bloody rocket ride that, almost 20 years later, still thrills and still influences filmmakers. 2. Top Gun (1986): Arguably the movie that defines American confidence — and cockiness — during the Reagan era. Full of hard bodies, fast aircraft and Tom Cruise’s beautifully aerodynamic smile, Top Gun makes you feel, as the line goes, “the need for speed.” Scott was working on a sequel before his death, and Cruise was supposed to play a role in it. I was looking forward to seeing where Scott was going to take this idea. 3. Crimson Tide (1995): This movie has been given short shrift in the obituaries of Scott that are accruing, but it is not to be missed. Crimson Tide is that rare thing: an intelligent popcorn movie. Like the U.S. nuclear sub Alabama on which the movie is set, Crimson Tide runs fast and deep–and yet inside its sleek Hollywood hull are a lot of smart and thorny ideas about leadership, compliance and the ramifications of nuclear war. Scott makes the most of Michael Schiffer’s screenplay and memorable performances by Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. 4. Enemy of the State (1998): A prescient film and a fine example of Scott’s fascination with the technological — and by extension, social and cultural — revolution that took place during his career as a filmmaker. Almost three years before the Bush administration’s reaction to 9/11 had Americans questioning how much of their First Amendment rights they were willing to sacrifice for national security, Scott gave us this over-the-top look at our surveillance society run amok. Technology is as much the star here as Will Smith, but the actor who steals the show is Gene Hackman, who pays clever homage to his performance as surveilliance-expert Harry Caul in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 film, The Conversation. 5 . The Hunger (1983): Scott’s first feature film is a mess, but it’s worth watching again, if only for the memorable opening scene (below) in which ultra-hip vampire couple David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve catch Goth pioneers Bauhaus performing “Bela Lugosi Is Dead” at a nightclub, where they pick up their next meal: Ann Magnuson. The concert-to carnage sequence plays like the creepiest MTV video ever. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

It is Christmas in August when Summit Entertainment releases more photos from the final installment of the Twilight Saga , Breaking Dawn – Part 2 . And it just so happens that one of the photos depicts Bella ( Kristen Stewart ), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Renesmee, the half-vampire progeny of Bella and Edward rocking around the Christmas tree with some, um, traditionally human appetizers. Apparently, the half human side of Suri, I mean, Renesmee still digs Ritz crackers and Hershey Christmas Kisses. I’m guessing the summer sausage is for Jacob. Okay, so enough about the holidays. Let’s just get to the pictures, which you can find after the jump. Breaking Dawn Part 2 , which reportedly will have at least one big plot surprise that does not follow the book from which its adapted, opens on Nov. 16. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

Is Katy Perry trying our for the sequel to Piranha 3DD (tentatively titled Piranha 3DDD )? Because these might be the best butt shots we’ve ever seen of the voluptuous pop tart. And from the looks of it, her famous funbags popped out as well as she took a tumble at the Raging Waters Water Park (more like Raging Wood, amirite?) in San Dimas, CA. She’s facing away from the camera, but closer SKINspection may reveal a nip slip to go along with the full moon. Maybe if we stare at it for a few more hours… See more from Katy Perry ‘s wet n’ wild wardrobe malfunction after the jump!
