She may still be "getting the lingo down," but Jessica Biel's foray into the blogoshpere was a success!

Later this year, Jessica Biel will make a little personal history with the indie flick Powder Blue. Last summer it was being reported that Biel would play a stripper supporting her son as a single mother in the gritty drama, and that to achieve full effect, she'd strip on-screen, as well.
Naturally, that got one or two people excited for some reason. Biel, it is rumored, is taking the challenging role to push her boundaries as an actress, and in hopes of being taken more seriously.
Powder Blue then gained a bit of unwanted publicity when another its stars, Patrick Swayze, revealed he had pancreatic cancer. Earlier this week, Swayze claimed, "My treatments are working and I am winning the battle." That's certainly good news.
The film, which also stars Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, and Lisa Kudrow, details the string of circumstances that bring four strangers in Los Angeles together on Christmas Eve.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that we’ll never get to see “Nailed” in theaters or on DVD. After shutting down and then resuming production three times over the past months, filming for David O. Russell’s new film has now been suspended for the fourth time.
Variety reports several crew members did not show up for work Friday because they weren’t paid. In early May, production was shut down because of a lack of funds to pay the actors. Yep, Capitol Films is apparently running out of moola.
Just in case the film will ever make it through principal photography, here’s what it’s about: the plot focuses on a waitress who, after getting a nail lodged in her head, falls for a charming senator who promises to help her out.
The film is starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel. Russell is directing a

Latest: Production on Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel's new movie Nailed ground to a halt on Friday, after more financial difficulties hit the cash-strapped project.
A number of staffmembers failed to show up for work at the South Carolina set on Thursday, after union leaders at the International Alliance of Theatrical + Stage Employees (Iatse) called for a boycott when they learned below-the-line crews were not being paid.
Production is expected to resume this Thursday, reports industry publication Variety.
It is the third time director David O. Russell's independent movie has been shut down. Workers belonging to the Iatse union also held up production on 15 May for similar pay reasons, while Gyllenhaal and Biel, both members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), walked off the set on 9 May, after producers failed to show they had enough money to pay the cast.
In April, veteran James Caan quit his cameo role after a bust-up with Russell.

Transformers star Megan Fox has been named the Sexiest Woman in the World in Fhm magazine's annual list of lovelies.
The actress/model steals the crown from pregnant Jessica Alba who topped the hot hitlist in 2007.
Alba falls to number three on the 14th annual countdown, behind Fox and Jessica Biel, while Elisha Cuthbert and Scarlett Johansson round out the new top five.
Fox debuted on the Fhm list in 2006, when she came in at 68; she jumped up just three spots last year.
Fhm bosses had more votes than ever before from readers who selected the girls on the 2008 list, but few favoured former hotties Victoria Beckham and Britney Spears, who rounded out the top 100 at numbers 99 and 100 respectively.
The top 10 on Fhm's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list is:
1. Megan Fox
2. Jessica Biel
3. Jessica Alba
7. Hilary Duff
9. Blake Lively
10. Kate Beckinsale
