CHICAGO – As the title implies, “Zombie Strippers” has everything and more. How many films about strippers who are zombies also quote the bible and Friedrich Nietzsche? This film is loads of fun because it has loads of everything.

Like nudity? Like bodily gore? Like sly political and military commentary? Love Robert “Freddy Krueger” Englund? Yeah, it’s all in “Zombie Strippers”.

The film begins in a shadowy lab corporation where an experiment has gone awry. In the not-too-distant future, the fourth term of the Bush administration (certainly the scariest concept in the film) has engendered perpetual war.

With the army spread too thin, experiments with a chemical virus to raise the dead have the potential to establish a zombie army. The regenerative effect, though, has been released in the lab. A special unit of military defense is called in – the “Z” squad – as the only hope to destroy the undead before they take over the planet.

One of the soldiers gets bitten by a flesh-eating zombie. Now one of them, he escapes from the lab to an underground strip club (public nudity has been banned by the Bush administration). This is where the fun begins.

Infamous porn star Jenna Jameson stars as Kat: the featured stripper in the sleazy club run by Ian Essko (Robert Englund).

CHICAGO – Los Angeles on Thursday rolled out a star-studded red carpet for the cast of the new film “Sleepwalking”. Charlize Theron took center stage along with Nick Stahl (from TV’s “Carnivàle” and “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”) and AnnaSophia Robb (from “Bridge to Terabithia” and Violet Beauregarde in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”).

You’ll never guess who showed up in classy black attire, too: porn star Jenna Jameson (pictured in the final photo below). Actress Audrina Patridge (from TV’s “The Hills”) is pictured second from the bottom in purple. This red carpet was held at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood.

The film, which opens on March 14, also features Dennis Hopper and Woody Harrelson. The drama follows an 11-year-old girl’s struggle to come to terms with her mother’s abandonment.
