Docmaker Frederick Wiseman is legendary for his epic verite studies of institutions and the people who create, inhabit and/or operate them. He and his Zipporah Films banner are not quite as well-known for scandalously marketing said studies. But that was all before he made Crazy Horse, his all-access, skin-baring glimpse behind the scenes of the world’s most famous nude cabaret.
Thus the first trailer for Crazy Horse, likely prompting the first time the name Frederick Wiseman and the acronym “NSFW” have had occasion to share a sentence. (I’ve heard that family-friendly sites including the NY Times and IMDB declined to post the video, itself some kind of milestone that I nevertheless was unable to confirm as of this writing.) In any case, watch as Wiseman chronicles the culture at Paris’s racy, renowned venue, where choreographer Philippe Decoufflé is hard at work putting together a new revue called Désirs. It’s all a little disjointed at just under two minutes — and very, very French! — but hey: It’s Frederick Wiseman. This is an event! With boobies! Anything to pull in the kids, I guess.
Crazy Horse bows at New York’s Film Forum on Jan. 18 before (hopefully) rolling out to an art house near you. Have a look…

“I know my best angles,” the actress jokes in a wide-ranging new Vanity Fair cover profile. “They were sent to my husband [Ryan Reynolds, now Johansson’s’s ex]. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno. Although there’s nothing wrong with that either.” Fair enough. But that bit about her and Woody Allen squirting Purell in each others’ hands is disgusting. [VF]
This is what things have come to for actress-singer-celebrity criminal Lindsay Lohan; at the tender age of 25, as the media watches her every move, the onetime promising Disney star has reportedly agreed to pose nude for Playboy. For less than a million! Oh, LiLo.
TMZ reports that Lohan, who recently came under fire for being tardy to her first day of community service at the morgue in Los Angeles, already began shooting her Playboy spread. Maybe the gig contributed to her tardiness. Technically, she was working over the weekend… and the job didn’t require her to seek employment in Europe! How convenient!
From TMZ:
Sources tell us the deal has been in the works for months, and that Lindsay balked at an initial $750K offer because she wanted … ONE MILLION dollars … to show the world what her momma gave her (apologies for the DiLo reference).
Apologies, indeed.
Remember when Lohan was young and innocent and fresh-scrubbed, and there were two of her? And one of the two of her was British? Yes, I’m talking The Parent Trap. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and remember: This was 13 years ago. How fast they grow up.
