James Gunn doesn’t want you to have to deal with all the ickyness of sex. On-screen, that is. The writer/director best known for his work in the horror genre (Slither, Dawn of the Dead) is taking on porn and making it more enjoyable for the whole family.
“You and your grandmother, for instance, could sit down together and enjoy some nice clean smut. Or your kids could come home from school, and the whole family could gather around the computer and not-jerk-off to some porn deeply embedded with traditional values (like not fucking.)” – PGPorn.tv
He talks with us about his wholesome new adventure with adult film stars Belladonna and Aria Giovanni, the perils of naked photo shoots and how Joss Whedon gave him his first job in Hollywood.

Misha Collins literally exploded on the scene as the Angel of Smokin’ Hotness in the Supernatural season four premiere. On a mission from God, Castiel yanked Dean up from Hell to do His bidding – and we are all too happy to go along for the ride.
It’s gonna be a line of a dialogue that stands out — I don’t think there’s any casual way to say “I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.” (laughs)
Not unless you were just sitting around, having a few beers at a bar.
Possibly. I’ll try to slip it into casual conversation. See how it goes. Let me make a note.
Misha talks to PopGurls about how he got past the FBI, why flying is overrated and if he prefers being touched or groped.

Don’t forget — today’s your LAST CHANCE to enter in our Elizabeth Scott Living Dead Girl book giveaway!
The Book:
When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends–her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.
Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she wants.
She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.
This is Alice’s story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.
The Reviews:
“Scott’s prose is spare and damning, relying on suggestive details and their impact on Alice to convey the unimaginable violence she repeatedly experiences. Disturbing but fascinating, the book exerts an inescapable grip on readers–like Alice, they have virtually no choice but to continue until the conclusion sets them free. — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
“Scott gives the phrase emotionally wrenching a whole new meaning in this searing book… the ending itself will leave readers gasping.” — Booklist (Starred Review)
“Scott, best known for such chick-lit pleasers as Bloom (2007), breaks the mold with this harrowing tale of abuse leavened only by lyric writing a la Adam Rapp (33 Snowfish, 2003, etc.). When Alice was ten, Ray kidnapped her; five years later, Alice wishes only to escape by dying, as the last Alice did. But her freedom comes at a price–a new girl for Ray. Bit by bit, Alice reveals the depths of psychological and physical terror that hold her captive. Her voice is convincingly naive yet prematurely aged; vivid but never graphic, details of the sexual abuse perfectly capture the way in which she has normalized her situation while still recognizing the truth. Ray is a complex abuser, perhaps a bit too psychotic but terrifying nevertheless; he himself was abused, and the logic of how his own past has shaped his present and his treatment of Alice never falters. Choosing Ray’s next victim does not provide a re-entry into empathy, a bold but believable choice. Scott provides neither easy answers nor a happy resolution, although the ending provides a grim sense of release.” — Kirkus
