Movie Editor Leaves Clothes On The Cutting Room Floor

Mark Helfrich is a Hollywood film editor, who has worked for decades on big-time box office productions like "Predator," "Rambo," "X-Men 3," the "Rush Hour" series, and the Elizabeth Berkeley epic "Showgirls." (Who could forget?) Last year, he made his directorial debut as the helmer on "Good Luck Chuck," starring Jessica Alba. Since he's deep into film and pictures, he naturally has a strong interest in photography—specifically, artistic nudes, like the ones he contributed to the coffee table book, "New Erotic Photography," and the others in the gallery on his website.

If we've learned anything from these highly complicated numerical systems it's that ranking babes in terms of "hotness" or "sexiness" or even "awesomeness" is more of an art form than a science. One says Megan Fox, one says Keeley Hazell, one says Jessica Alba ... and that's all the same magazine! Maxim is the latest to enter the fray and they declare Sports Illustrated cover girl Marisa Miller to be queen of the magazine jungle. In fact, they are so dismissive of FHM's champ Megan Fox that she couldn't even crack the top 15. Of course, Marisa didn't even crack the Maxim Top 100 in 2007, despite evidence showing that she was alive back then and equally hot. So will we ever agree on any of these important international disputes? Is that what the U.N. is for? More »
