First Poster for Jessica Biel's Stripper Movie, 'Powder Blue'

Later this year, Jessica Biel will make a little personal history with the indie flick Powder Blue. Last summer it was being reported that Biel would play a stripper supporting her son as a single mother in the gritty drama, and that to achieve full effect, she'd strip on-screen, as well.

Naturally, that got one or two people excited for some reason. Biel, it is rumored, is taking the challenging role to push her boundaries as an actress, and in hopes of being taken more seriously.

Powder Blue then gained a bit of unwanted publicity when another its stars, Patrick Swayze, revealed he had pancreatic cancer. Earlier this week, Swayze claimed, "My treatments are working and I am winning the battle." That's certainly good news.

The film, which also stars Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, and Lisa Kudrow, details the string of circumstances that bring four strangers in Los Angeles together on Christmas Eve.

We've managed to get a hold of the first poster for Powder Blue, and I think we're expected to believe that this is Biel in silhouette:

Powder Blue opens on December 31st.

She's a horrible actress. I've had the unfortunate displeasure to be an extra on her last film, not a very nice girl at all. Her skills as an actress were very limited.

Getting gritty or ugly in a role won't get her taken seriously. Especially getting naked. She always bitches that she is known for her body--so she decides to play a stripper--wow, that helps. She's just an all around bad actress.

I personally think that she is a great actress. She is working very hard to prove that to people. Coming from a tv series, she usually is not taken seriously and many actors and actresses that come from tv series don't have careers beyond that. I think that she is trying and so far she is doing a great job. (I don't believe the person who claims to have been an extra on her last film, for all I know he or she can be someone who hates her and is pretending to be someone else and is trying to ruin her reputation.)

Or maybe you are just a biased fan who doesn't want to believe what Sarah said. The only reason she has a "career" is because she has a great publicist, an A-list boyfriend and because she uses her body to advance her career. Yet her career is still slow, not great and she still can't act.

In the battle of the three hot Jessicas who can't act, I would give a slight edge to Ms. Biel over Alba and Simpson.

I love catfights...

Simpson can sing, not act.
The other two are bad actresses. At least Alba has a gorgeous face. Biel has a man face.

And why would I lie. I have the right to voice my option. I didn't know much about her so I had no ill will towards the girl, unfortunately my time spent on that set was not pleasant due in some part to Jessica.

For which movie was it? Can you give some more details about your experience?

Monday, June 30, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKim

There all a bunch of fake ass Hollywood fucks that like to tie up traffic and sidewalks all over.

Jessica Simpson shouldn't be a professional singer either. It's all hype, most guys fantasize about being with the young, blond barbie types. They pay attention to her and look what it gets us - vapid, spoiled princesses who think they can act and sing.

Man, the claws are out.

Yea, i've never heard a more jealous group of girls.

Monday, July 14, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJoe

why do people always assume that the hot actresses can't act, it's like people are jealous and have to tear them down for being gorgeous, etc. jessica biel can act just watch any of her films. the defenses rests.

Jessica Biel is an amazing actress whom is up and coming. For those of you that want to hate on her its because your jealous that shes young, gorgeous and has a very bright future ahead of her.

Jessica Biel is hands down the sexiest woman in the world. Her body is to die for, her face is absolutely gorgeous, and she is a great actress who knows how to play her roles very well. shame on you people for talking negative about her. And for those of you who say you were an extra on her set and what not, your full of shit because if you were telling the truth you would understand that she is a very sincere kind young woman. She is the future of hollywood...and she has the sexiest body ever.
