Nedeljakova now adds Hell’s Kitty to her resume and it looks … well, it doesn’t matter what it looks like – we’d watch her pick the toe jam off her feet. But so you know… Hell’s Kitty is a horror-comedy about a dude whose demonic house cat kills all the hot ladies in his life.

President Trump recently said:
I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity. Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.
Regardless of where you stand on the Trump administration, there’s truth in that statement. Segregated by socioeconomic status, racism, religion, social justice bullshit, and the decay of common sense and ethics, the entire U.S. of A is on the brink of becoming an asshole.

Lily Collins (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) is set to star as Elizabeth Kloepfer, longtime girlfriend of notorious serial killer, rapist, and necrophile Ted Bundy, in director Joe Berlinger’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, a new biopic on the lethal Lothario told from Kloepfer’s perspective.
Berlinger, the noted documentary filmmaker behind Metallica’s Some Kind of Monster and the Paradise Lost true-crime docs, is working off a script by new scribe Michael Werwie. Zac Efron (Neighbors) portrays Bundy, who viciously raped, mutilated, and slaughtered young women – sometimes fucking their corpses and keeping their heads.
Bundy was described as charming and handsome and often lured women to his car by feigning injury. Kloepfer started dating him before he started killing and would stay with him despite his erratic behavior up until and after tipping police to her suspicions. Bundy would eventually confess to murdering 30 women – though he was suspected of many more – and was executed in the electric chair in 1989.
Shooting on Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile began this week. An image of Efron as Bundy was released by the actor and can be seen here:
