Since we've been salivating over the new Bettie Page biopic ever since we first heard about the delectable Gretchen Mol being cast in the title role almost two years ago, we suppose waiting another month until the film hits theatres isn't going to be too painful—and at least now there's all those delectable downloads, erotic e-cards, and other alliterative attractions on the newly launched official film site to tide us over. Given how fetching Gretchen looks wielding that whip, however, April 14th still can't come quickly enough.

Meanwhile, Hollywood Thoughts posts a selection of photos of the (still lovely) icon herself, who turns 82 next month: "It's also prettty widely known that in recent years she prefers to not have her photograph taken ('...I want people to remember me when I was young...'). With all due respect to Ms.Page, we think she still looks great." We couldn't agree more.
