Exclusive: Summer’s going to be a scorcher in London. Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & the Tyranny of Evil Men is coming to town in June.
The cabaret-style stage show, a huge hit in Los Angeles where it’s still running after 13 years, heads to the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith from June 6 for a 10-week season through August 13.
Definitely fair to point out that there are as many Tarantino aficionados here in Blighty as there are in Tarantino’s manor in LA. Spend any time in the less trendy parts of Hackney in East London or across the river in Peckham and you’ll hear teens discuss their attire or their fast-food snacks while referencing a line from a Tarantino movie. Some of these kids weren’t born when some of these movies first came out yet they know them. They know them scene-by-scene, line-by-line. They’ll be queueing, in an orderly fashion,...

What do the Bride, Jackie Brown, Django, Mia Wallace, Hans Landa, Cottonmouth, Stuntman Mike McKay, Mr. Pink, Charles Manson and the Gimp all have in common? For one thing, that they’re all characters in a stage musical now playing at the Bourbon Room in Hollywood.
But its creators would rather that you not call “Tarantino Live” a musical per se, or at least not boil it down strictly to that term. For one thing, its “book” — largely an amalgam of dialogue from Quentin Tarantino’s movies — is a sort of loose fantasia tying characters and themes from the films together into a surreal, seriocomic knot, more than any traditional, straight stage narrative. For another thing, the 50-plus songs from the filmmaker’s soundtracks are being licensed for an immersive concert nightclub experience, not a theatrical production… although a transfer to the legit stage is something that’s hoped for down the road.

Quentin Tarantino’s fans can watch some of his iconic movies come to life in “Tarantino Live: Fox Force Five & The Tyranny of Evil Men,” a hybrid theater experience that immerses audiences in Tarantino’s Cinematic Universe.
Described as a “postmodern cabaret experience,” the 90-minute show takes place at The Bourbon Room in Los Angeles through the end of September, and features a combination of Broadway-style live action scenes coupled with songs from Tarantino films including, “Pulp Fiction,” “Kill Bill,” “Reservoir Dogs,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Jackie Brown,” and “The Hateful Eight.”

Anderson Davis, better known to the world as the Zesty Guy or "That naked hottie from the Kraft commercials," is back in another series of ads, stripping down once again to shill salad dressings. Last time we saw this Adonis of Advertising, Davis and his "disgusting" "g*nitals" had sent One Million Moms into an absolute tizzy. They asked, "Who will want Kraft products in their fridge or pantry if this vulgarity is what they represent?" Short answer: Us. Kraft responed, "People have overwhelmingly said they're enjoying the campaign." So he returned and is more naked than ever, photographed by Douglas Friedman, to showcase the company's other...

Recently, the Kraft Zesty Guy Anderson Davis has been the hottest male model on many people's minds (especially One Million Moms, who think the ad is just too hot to handle!). But the gorgeous guy's naked salad dressing ads aren't the only things that have us hot and bothered. There are plenty of male models bringing their hotness to the worlds of advertising and commercials. From sexy fragrance ads starring hotties Chris Evans, Tom Brady or David Gandy to Bradley Cooper's steamy Häagen-Dazs commercial and the Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafah (that's not even counting all the nearly-naked underwear ads!), check out all of these hunky and superhot men of advertising.

I’ll admit, I’m as taken with the Kraft salad dressing “Zesty Guy” (model Anderson Davis) as much as the next red-blooded American male. He’s sexy, he’s handsome, he’s always steaming or burning off his clothes… what’s not to like?!
My only problem with the campaign is that salad dressing is really perfectly able to sell itself without the aid of Zesty Guy’s twin t-shirt torpedoes. So I’m suggesting a few products that really could use the “Zesty bump”.
1. Depends for Men
There’s nothing particularly sexy about adult diapers (unless you’re into that kind of thing, which is Totally Fine). Until you plop Zesty Guy into a pair, that is!
He could wet himself in front of me any time.
2. Circus Peanuts
I think we can all agree that Circus Peanuts are the vilest candy on the planet. I mean, come...

What do you do if you're a really, really, really, really, really, really, really good-looking guy? Play off your looks, of course!31-year-old model Josh Button is the face (and body) of Diet Dr Pepper's new spot. He follows in the footsteps of fellow "hot guy" spokespersons Lucky Vanous (the Diet Coke break guy), Isaiah Mustafa (the Old Spice guy) and Anderson Davis (the Zesty Italian guy).While Josh's ad (which you can watch below) is a spoof of the "hot guy" ads, sex still sells. Women have taken notice, including Kris Jenner, who tweeted, "The ladies in our house think this guy is a #oneofakindhottie! Gotta say, he is quite handsome!"toofab caught up with Josh to talk about the Diet Dr Pepper spot and his reaction to it.toofab: What did you think of the finished spot when you saw it?Josh: I was stoked to see the...

It seems like you can't turn on your TV (at least not Bravo, anyway) or go online without seeing Anderson Davis' face (and body).The handsome star of Kraft's racy "Let's Get Zesty" campaign has become a viral video sensation. But who is the man beneath the perfect scruff and abs? toofab's Lawrence Yee caught up with Anderson, where he talked about the campaign that has made him an overnight sensation.Here's five facts you need to know about Anderson:1. He doesn't go to the gym ... seriously.Anderson claims that it's been three years since he's stepped inside a gym. Instead, he works out at home with two sets of dumbbells and a bench ala Rocky Balboa.2. He can actually cook.Anderson not only plays a sexy chef on TV, he's a decent cook in real life too. His specialty? Chicken enchiladas. But he also loves burgers: especially bleu cheese burgers.

Many superhero fans believe the actor chosen to play superhero Captain America should be an unknown, rather than a major Hollywood star.
Up-and-coming Us actor Anderson Davis has now expressed an interest in the role and is campaigning to be cast as the patriotic supersoldier.
Davis is an ex-athlete who's done modelling and starred in several commercials, as you can see on his website.
He has lived in Los Angeles for almost two years, where he is studying acting, and will appear in the 2010 release Caravaggio: The Search, a comedy drama about the tortured life of the Italian artist.
Anderson said: "I realise Marvel are on the casting prowl for Captain America and who better to play the role of Captain America than an unknown such as myself.
"I am physically fit, a patriot of the USA and believe I would be right for the role. Of course, I am...
