With Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay out tomorrow, news is that director/writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg will comeback for a third film in the franchise. Both John Cho and Kal Penn are expected to return since Mandate Pictures has options on both for the third installment. (FYI – Mandate also produced “Juno”.) The Harold and Kumar franchise has been gaining momentum. The first film earned $18 million domestically in 2004 and generated more than $30 million on DVD. Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, which cost $12 million, earned $14.9 million its opening weekend before topping out at $38 million. DVD sales for the sequel are expected to be higher than the first.

Lindsay Price nude in Esquire

Lindsay Price, the Lipstick Jungle star, posed nude for the first time in the recent issue of Esquire. The Asian Excellence Award winner for Outstanding TV Actress described her experience posing nude:

The week before the shoot, I worked out harder than I had in my entire life. I was anxious all week. The day of the shoot, I had fantasies of driving to Mexico to avoid doing it. I took the longest shower of my life, exfoliating, moisturizing, paying really close attention to where I shaved. I went to the set in my baggiest jeans and my most comfortable sweatshirt — a really antisexy outfit.

The 31 year old HAPA returns as Victory Ford on Lipstick Jungle Season 2 starting September 24. If you were wondering, her mother is Korean and her father is German-Irish.

BBC Sport recently released a two-minute animation for the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games. The concept is based upon the traditional Chinese folklore ‘Journey to the West’ with a twist turning it into a “Journey to the East” and the Beijing Olympics. The animation and music were specially produced by Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn – the team behind Gorillaz. There has been mixed reactions to the video. What do you think of the video?
