Sunday, January 29thA choice of films from 10pm that are borderline celebrity nudity to be fair, but both excellent films in their genres and time
Channel 4, 10pm - She's All That
itv2, 10pm - There's Something About Mary
Teen films can get a bad press and even mocked by the industry, but some of the 80s versions are looked back on with a fondness secretly and produced even more secret desires for their stars like
Molly Ringwald and-admittedly in my case-
Mary Stuart Masterson, who went on to carve out a very respectable career.
At the end of the 90s and the start of the 21st Century we were given teen films that were takes of classics, in this case "She's All That" - "Pygmalion".
Rachael Leigh Cook looks good however you dress her up in the main female role, in particular the undeniably jaw-dropping moment she strips to her swimsuit as her transformation begins. Also, keep an eye out for another very cute actress from that time, in a support role,
Tamara Mello.
If that's not for you, then over on itv2 at the same time, its the classic of a different kind, one of the best gross-out comedies ever and possibly the Farrelly brothers at their best (or should that be worse!) "There's something about Mary" Some brief flashes of
Cameron Diaz, but really it is comedy you can watch again and again and still produce the same volume of laughs from the first time.
Moving into next week now and a word of warning about rapidly developing favourite "Playboys Babes" on Playboy One each night. So far its been a pretty regular fixture at around midnight every night, but over the next week the times will vary from just after midnight and just after 4am (for insomniacs!) to sometimes only after 4am towards the early hours of the morning! As always, double check those times then nearer broadcast! In the end though, it can be worth it as Playboy bring us some real celebrity gems from their extensive archives. Only last week there were some very naked performances by ex-Neighbours star Emma Harrison and a very best of the very controversial
Anna Nicole Smith.
Wednesday, February 1stChannel 4, 10pm - Desperate Housewives
Gagging for a second fix of
Teri Hatcher,
Nicollette Sheridan and

Saturday, February 4thFinally, to round off this weeks page, a sexy horror double next Saturday night - a revealing, early
Jessica Alba performance in Idle Hands on the Sci-Fi Channel at 10pm, or on UK gold at 10.20pm its a much more naked
Natasha Henstridge in Species.
