Horror Remake Com-bare and Contr-ass: The Stepfather [PICS]

We’re kicking off Father’s Day weekend here at the Mr. Skin blog by rubbing down both versions of the family horror classic The Stepfather . The Stepfather (1987) stars Jill Schoelen, who Mr. Skin eloquently describes in his review as an “athletically trim brunette…with a sensually angelic face and ripe to bursting swellings of flesh fruit.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Jill’s shower scene in The Stepfather , where she bares her juicy melons and delicious derriere, is one of Mr. Skin’s favorites, despite its short (16 seconds) running time. For the 2009 remake of The Stepfather , the producers kept the story basically the same, but with a few notable (and if you ask Mr. Skin, detrimental) changes. First the main character was changed from a teenage girl to a teenage boy (played by Gossip Girl ’s Penn Badgely ), and second, all the nudity was taken out in order to get a PG-13 rating. Ouch. But here to cheer us up is Amber Heard as Penn’s love interest. When Amber prances around in that teeny weeny polka dot bikini, we almost forget about Jill’s jugs….almost. More pics after the jump!

‘American Idol’ Exec Producer Nigel Lythgoe Responds To ‘Morons’

‘The ones that believe we manipulate everything, it drives me crazy sometimes,’ he says of vocal fans. By Sabrina Rojas Weiss Nigel Lythgoe Photo: MTV News As executive producer of “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” as well as a judge on the latter — and maybe even back in the day as the choreographer of “The Apple” — Nigel Lythgoe is well versed at taking jabs from angry fans. But that doesn’t mean he’s not tempted to strike back now and again at the viewers who are convinced the producers of the shows arrange things so that their favorites will win. “Thanks for all the personal abuse from the usual morons out there in Twitterland,” he tweeted after last Wednesday night’s “Idol.” “I personally feel Haley is the most improved contestant.” MTV News “Idol” expert Jim Cantiello was sure Nigel was partly responding to his joking tweet , “@dizzyfeet Whew! Looks like you have a lot of Haley votes to delete tonight! ;)” So, when Lythgoe stopped by the newsroom on Monday with “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Mary Murphy, we had to ask about his online interactions with fans. “The ones that believe we manipulate everything, it drives me crazy sometimes,” he said of the Twitter comments he receives. ” ‘How dare you let James go from “Idol”!’ ‘We know that you hate Haley!’ This is just crazy. I always end up having to go, ‘You morons out there …’ or something like that, and realize that I’m arguing with 7- or 8-year-olds from Wisconsin. “It’s annoying, because ‘Idol’ of all shows, really goes with what the public demands, whether we like it or not,” he insisted. “And of course we didn’t like to see Casey going. We didn’t like to see Pia going. We didn’t like to see James going. But someone has to go, by the very nature of it being a competition.” That said, the producers do control certain aspects of the show, such as performance order. But while some fans (Cantiello included) complained about the way the top four were shuffled around for their second performances last week, Lythgoe explained that there was a very logical reason behind having James Durbin sing both first and last. “James opened the week before,” he said. “He opened it again [last] week, which is not the great spot to be in, and then we changed him to the last [for the second song], so it was fairer. So when Standards and Practices said to us, ‘Why is he opening twice?’ Well he’s opening twice because there are four songs in that first genre, he’s the uptempo one. You don’t want to open the show with a ballad, so you start with an uptempo song. And he’s last because he’s due to be last, because he’s opened the show for two weeks now. “That was all it was,” he continued. “God forbid logic comes into a megalomaniac fan that just wants their #1 to win and everything else is: The world’s against them!” Don’t miss “Idol Party Live” every Thursday at noon on MTV.com for analysis, celebrity guests and even some karaoke — get in the conversation by tweeting with the hashtag #idolparty!

YG Says L.A. Is ‘Feeling’ His New Single ‘Patty Cake’

‘It’s a club banger, but it sounds different than ‘Toot It and Boot It,’ ‘ rookie rapper tells MTV News. By Jayson Rodriguez YG Photo: MTV News YG scored a big hit with “Toot It and Boot It” and found an even larger audience once 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg joined the Los Angeles native for the remix . But the newly minted XXL cover star — he’s joined by 10 other upstarts for the magazine’s annual Freshman issue — intended to impress with much more than his breakout number. His track “Patty Cake” has been gaining air play. “I got another song on the radio on [L.A.’s] Power 106. It’s a club banger, but it sounds different than ‘Toot It and Boot It,’ ” YG told MTV News. “I’m just waiting on the label to get behind it. Everybody in L.A. is feeling it. “I got some songs. I got some hits,” he added. “I just got to get my label behind me. I’m all the way on the West Coast. So they gotta feel it, they got to get the buzz. So I got to go through the same thing I did with ‘Toot It and Boot It.’ ” Currently, the inked-up rapper is working on his next mixtape, the forthcoming Just Re’d Up, featuring guest spots by Chris Brown, Tyga and Nipsey Hussle, among others, and hosted by DJ Ill Will and DJ Mustard. Mustard doubles as YG’s personal DJ and one of his producers; he helmed the boards for “Patty Cake.” With “Patty Cake,” YG said he’s trying to get the club cracking once again. “To me, it’s something the ladies and the dudes want to hear when they get in the club,” he explained. ” ‘Cause it’s gonna get the girls dancing. And that’s what I like to see when I get in the club.” Are you excited for new music from YG? Let us know in the comments!

Is Evelyn Lozada Quitting “Basketball Wives?”

Follow this link:

“Basketball Wives” star Evelyn Lozada may be looking for a new job. TMZ is reporting that Evelyn claims she was stabbed in the back by producers and wants to leave the show for good. Apparently Evelyn feels the producers of the show violated her trust by spilling sensitive information about an illicit relationship she had in the past.(Could this be Evelyn sleeping with Tami’s ex?) But wait, didn’t Evelyn blow herself up with this one??? I’ve been saying this show is scripted and edited to provoke confrontation and drama week after week, so I’m not surprised. Or could it be that Evelyn feels once she marries Ochocinco, she’ll hit paydirt and won’t have to work anymore.. Evelyn fired off an email to the producers last night saying she’s out!!! “Basketball Wives” Evelyn Lozada Slept With Tami Roman’s Ex-Husband! Chris Bosh Stops Baby Mama From Joining “Basketball Wives”
