Sirens

The defense team for Phil Spector tried to avoid him having to face a second trial for the alleged murder of cinema siren Lana Clarkson by claiming double jeopardy. This has been rejected by a California court. Spector will be on trial in October for second degree murder.

Clarkson met Spector on the night of February 2, 2003, at the House of Blues in West Hollywood where she worked as a hostess. Thinking that Spector might be able to some Hollywood doors to revive her struggling acting career, she agreed to go home with him for a drink.

Adrienne Barbeau and Michael Scott have co-authored the book, "Vampyres of Hollywood."

Barbeau will be more familiar to us as a siren from such films as "The Fog," "Escape From New York," and the nagging wife Billie in "Creepshow." And horror movies are prevalent in the book.

It would seem that Hollywood has been infested with vampyres for many years. The big wigs created misleading myths to hide their existence from unsuspecting humans. A serial killer known as the Cinema Slayer may force police to dig too deep and uncover the vampyre race.

Hot on the heels of our announcement of the remake of "Night of the Demons," we've now found out that Tiffany Shepis has joined an already tempting cast of lovely ladies.

Shepis (pictured below) will be filming alongside Shannon Elizabeth, Diora Baird, and Monica Keena. Shannon has been cast as Angela, but I'm not sure which roles the other ladies have been selected to play. I am looking forward to finding out.

VH1's latest reality show, "Scream Queens," will pit ten unknown actresses against each other for a chance to win a "major role" in a Lionsgate horror movie.

James Gunn, John Homa, and the lovely siren, Shawnee Smith, will all be judges on the show.
