Jessica Lange the villainess

 

Jessica Lange the villainess

Jessica Lange was an extremely vivacious and attractive woman, especially in her younger days in the late seventies and early eighties. She starred in films such as Tootsie and the Postman always rings twice. When it called for it, she could play extremely sexy characters. Into the nineties, she played attractive characters even winning and Academy award. She also could be quite funny when the role called for it as well.



In another film, Jessica played a snooty rich woman. It was a bit of a children’s comedy in the vein of Home Alone or 101 Dalmatians. She played the villain, a sort of Cruella Deville type of character. She wore a spotted dress, similar to the one she wore in Blue Sky. She had her hair done in the usual wavy blonde, short style that she was known for. At times, she would wear sunglasses and have a cigarette holder. She was playing the prototypical female villain character. The film was the usual formula. There was a pair of teenagers along with a younger sibling. They discovered an evil plot hatched by Jessica’s character and they were going to have to be the ones to foil it because the adults did not believe them. Jessica’s character had convinced them that she was a good person. The adults got mad at the teenagers for being rude to their guest. They were the only ones who could see that she was up to no good. Their family had inherited an old mansion. Jessica’s character knew that there was a treasure map inside the house and that would lead to a treasure somewhere in the house. She was trying to convince the adults to sell the house so she could get to the treasure.

There was a scene where the protagonists overhead Jessica’s character planning to sneak into the property to try and find the treasure map. They decided that they would be ready for her when she arrived and would set a trap for her. It was in the style of Home Alone only messier and less violent. Jessica’s character was shown to be quite haughty. She would have despised the thought of having her appearance messed up.



They made sure to turn all the lights out in the house to make it look like no one was inside. They set everything up for her and waited for her to arrive. She arrived at the property and began to sneak around She tried to front door and was surprised to find that it was not locked. She did not think twice about this. When she opened the door, pink slime poured down upon her from above. She tried not to scream as the gunge dumped over her curly blonde hair and down her face and body. It covered her breasts and poured down her dress. She gasped. She fumed in anger, but stopped herself from screaming because she did not want to draw any attention. The pink gunge ran down her face and dripped from her nose and chin. She paused for a second and then stumbled backwards.

When she stepped backwards, her foot hit a loose board in the floor that hit a string. The string then pulled, releasing a storm of feathers to be blown all over Jessica’s body. The feathers stuck all over the slime that was already all over her body. She then stumbled. She fell over into a wheelbarrow that was full of manure. Her legs stuck out, but she was covered in the muck up to her neck. It was all over her dress. Some of the manure stuck to her face and hair. It was brown and lumpy. Some of the floorboards then tilted. The wheelbarrow then began to roll downwards. It flew into the kitchen and into a cupboard, colliding with a gigantic bag of flour the popped open and exploded all over her. The protagonists were shown watching and giggling. “This will teach her,” one of them remarked.



She climbed out of the wheelbarrow to her feet. As she dusted herself off, her foot hit a trip wire. She was startled as the tension from the cord squeezed dozens of ketchup and mustard bottles at her, covering her in the condiments. She was soon covered in red and yellow condiments. They were all over her hair, face and body. Her dress was covered. She then turned around and was met a number of plastic spatulas and wooden spoons. They were released back and forth, spanking her behind. She comically danced around patting her behind.



She then was slapped on the behind with a larger spatula. This caused her to fall out of the back door. She fell through the door, stumbled and fell into skip filled with garbage in the back the house. The lid closed with a comedy clank. The protagonists were shown laughing and celebrating. “She will think twice before messing with us again,” they said. She was then shown with her head peeking out of the bin. She had trash all over her. She climbed out and fell in the mud. She was covered in banana peels, old food and assorted rubbish.

She stumbled out towards the street. The adults happened to return at this moment. They asked her what happened. She stumbled, completely covered in assorted mess. She just shook her head and her finger in anger. Later, the adults scolded the protagonists. Jessica’s character was shown, still covered in mess plotting her next move. “They won’t get rid of me that easily,” she cackled.

Jean Arthur comedy kitchen

 

Jean Arthur comedy kitchen

Jean Arthur was a great actress from the early days of Hollywood. She had a very unique voice that was a bit high and squeaky, but raspy at the same time. She was very cute and looked downright adorable in many of her roles. She was a serious actress as well who held her own against many of Hollywood’s greatest leading men including Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant among others. Some of her roles had comedic elements in them as well. She could be very funny at times. She could act silly and do screwball comedy with the best of them. She could hold her own with anyone. She was contemporaries with some of the greatest leading actresses of all time. Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn and Joan Crawford to name just a few.



She took the role of a lady who was newly engaged. She had only just met the groom, but was head over heels in love with him. She tried to impress him by bragging about how good she was in the kitchen. In reality, she had never cooked anything in her life. In her haste, she invited him over for dinner and was stuck with just a few hours to try and make him a dinner from scratch. She tried to get people around her to help her, but they were either too busy or not willing to help her because she had gotten herself into the situation by stretching the truth. She was now going to have to do the best that she could. She desperately wanted to impress him. The other thing was, her character in the film was extremely ditzy and clumsy. There were constant gags where she would trip, fall over, break things and have pratfalls galore.

She started in the kitchen by getting tons and tons of ingredients. She had gotten way too many ingredients because she had no idea what she was doing. As a result, she had purchased way too much everything. There was enough ingredients to cook for twenty people. There was very little dialogue in the scene. It showed her preparing things, looking at recipes and instructions. Of course, she did not follow them as she was meant to.

She started by trying to make some baked beans. She took an enormous pot and placed it on the counter top. She then took about half a dozen giant cans of baked beans and placed them on the counter. She took a can opener and attempted to open the first can of beans. It was very stiff and she had never used a can opener before so did not really know what she was doing. At first it wouldn’t budge. She shook it and then punched the can a few times. She then pushed the can opener, but it pushed too hard. The can of beans jerked and most of the beans flew up into her face and splashed all over her white, short sleeved, lacy top. She widened her eyes and made a face similar to what Lucille Ball might make. She wiped some of the beans from her face. She poured what remained of the beans into the pot. She then tried to open the second can. This one was no easier. She tried to open it slower this time. It was difficult to steady the can with one hand though. This time as it open, it slid and flipped up in the air, dropping the beans over her head. She sighed and rolled her eyes. She looked a little cross. She was able to open the rest of the cans without as much trouble. She dumped the beans into the pot and put it on the stove. She put the heat on, but she put it way too hot.



She now tried to make a soufflé type of dish. She took a huge mixing bowl and a massive wooden spoon. She started by trying to break some eggs. She took the first egg and tapped it lightly. It would not break at first so she hit it much harder. The egg completely smashed all over hand because she hit it too hard this time. She tried the next one. She had more success with this one. She then took the container with the rest of the eggs in her hand to get the next one. At this moment the timer on the oven went off. She jerked quickly around. As she turned, her arms moved and the eggs flipped up into the air. She attempted the catch them, but the egg carton smashed into her chest, breaking the rest of the eggs. The ones in the air plopped onto her head and smashed. Runny eggs and egg shells ran down her face. Her shirt was soaked in yellow egg. She shrugged her shoulders and then scraped some of the egg off and scraped it into the mixing bowl.

She then went to add flour to the mixing bowl. When she opened the bag, she looked inside. When she did this, the flour tickled her nose and she sneezed. Her hands pushed into the bag. This sent a cloud of flour into the air and all over her. She slid and most of the flour landed in the bowl. By now the floor was also a bit slippery and sticky because of the eggs. She was slipping and sliding around a bit on the floor now as she did everything. She then added yeast to the mixing bowl, but again, it was way too much. She added a few more ingredients. She then turned to get the pan to pour the mixture into. She then tried to get the mix into the pan. By this time it was very thick and lumpy. It would not come out at first. She turned it upside down and began to shake it. It didn’t come out of the bowl straight away, so she turned it upside down. Some of it fell onto her. She scraped it off and put it in the pan. She then placed it into the oven. It was already bulging.



Next, she took a casserole dish. She began to put anything that she could find in it. She started with some ground meat. She plopped it inside with her hands. She then scraped some of the egg from her top into the dish. She then poured in some corn flakes. She then poured in green beans. Next she tried to pour some ketchup in. She opened the bottle. It would not come out at first. She pounded it with her hand on the side and then the top. Of course, everyone knew what was coming next. She picked up the bottle and looked into it with her eye. At that moment, the ketchup dislodged and poured down on her face. She really looked cross now. She then poured whatever she had left into the dish and mixed it around. Of course, it was comically disgusting looking. It even bubbled. She placed it in the oven. She didn’t notice that the soufflé was rapidly expanding.

She was going to attempt to make a pie next. She started out with a jar of strawberry jam. She opened it and attempted to spoon it out. It was very thick and sticky and refused to budge at first. She turned it over, above her. It looked as if it would fall upon her, but this time it did not. She shook it more and it fell into the pie plate. She then took a massive container of custard. It was huge. She began dumping it into the pie tin. There was so much it was overflowing everywhere. She managed not to get much on her this time. She then grabbed a can of whipped cream. She began to unleash it onto the top of the pie. Of course it was the audience’s expectation that it would malfunction and that she would get sprayed with it, but it didn’t this time. The pot on the stove and the cooker door were shown now.



She picked up the pie and started to walk to the dining room. “Well, at least the pie came out ok,” she said to herself. At this moment, the soufflé expanded so much that it pushed the oven door open. It expanded and exploded out of the oven. It pushed the casserole dish out onto the floor. It broke and splattered the casserole all over the floor. The soufflé continued growing. The lid flew off the pot and the beans exploded everywhere. In all the excitement, she slipped and the huge pie smashed in her face, covering her in pie. Her blonde curls were covered. Her top was splattered in mess.

Chanelle Hayes 2 Living Large

 

Chanelle Hayes 2 Living Large

It has been several years since Chanelle Hayes appeared on Big Brother. She now looks very different than she did at that time. She still is very attractive but in a different sort of way. She had put on quite a few extra pounds to put it politely. She had become extremely curvy to put it mildly. The tabloids love taking shots at her about her appearance. They would take embarrassing photos of her and publish them in their magazine. They were total hypocrites. They claimed to promote positive body images but would then berate celebrities any time they were not super thin.



Chanelle was also desperate for work and for money. Things had been tight for some time. When she was younger, she had quite a temper. This alienated quite a lot of people which made getting work much more difficult for her. She started to appear on a website where people could pay celebrities to do messages as well as other things. It was a very easy way to make money. You had to do very little to make pretty decent money. The requests were usually not too difficult. Some of the sites allowed for nudity, but it was a choice. There was little to no risk involved. It was a win/win situation. The fans got what they wanted and the celebrities got easy money.

After being on there for a little while, Chanelle received a very strange request. The person explained that they had a gunge tank set up. They wanted to load it with sloppy left over food and wanted her to sit inside and have it dumped all over her. She thought that this was very unusual. She initially was going to dismiss it offhand until she saw the amount of money that they were offering her to it. It was thousands of pounds literally to sit in the tank and get gunged. She decided that she would be foolish to not accept. It was set up for her. It would be recorded and only used for the buyer’s personal use. He signed a contract saying that he would not show the recording to anyone else. She agreed to take part.

She decided that she would go in the tank in her pink bikini. She had been photographed in this in the past. Her curves and cellulite were voluptuous to say the least. The purchaser was looking forward to seeing her large sexy body get completely covered in sloppy mess. He had gone to some of the local restaurants and cafes in the area and had asked if they would give him the food waste that they were throwing away. They agreed. It was garbage anyway. It was made up of food scraps, leftovers, spoiled and expired food and scrapings of uneaten food from customer’s plates. It was a hodgepodge of different food waste. He loaded it all into the gunge tank.





Chanelle was a little put off when she saw what was inside the chamber above her head. It smelled revolting and looked just as disgusting. It would soon be all over her body. She made a funny face as she entered the tank. She just fixed her mind on the money. This worked to a degree.

She was going to make a fantastic target. Her body was quite large. Her behind was gigantic as were her thick thighs and large stomach. The sloppy mess was going to look fantastic all over her. She took a deep breath and braced herself. She spoke into the camera that was set up recording this. “Well, I am here to get gunged. I hope you enjoy this. I am not sure if I will,” she said. “Ok, here we go.”



She closed her eyes and yanked the cord down. She heard a gurgling sound from above that almost sounded like a burp. She looked up as a massive blob of the sloppy mess exploded down all over her. It exploded onto her head. It splashed in all directions. She jumped and shrieked. The sloppy mess then began to pour down onto her more quickly. It was a bit more runny and sloppy than the initial congealed portion had been. It was a mixture of every type of messy food imaginable all mixed together. Mash, vegetables, pasta, sauce, meat, gravy, beans, eggs, custard, bread, stuffing, mushy peas, fish and more.

It continued to pour all over her body. It rolled down her chest, down her back and in between her legs. It poured onto her legs, dripping down her calves. It fell all over her behind as well. There were massive blobs of sloppy food stuck together as well as runny, slimy bits. She could feel it all over her half naked body. She was showered in it. She felt like a filthy pig. It smelled revolting as well. The food was genuine food waste. It was all over her body.



She tried to smile when the slop stopped falling. She could feel it all over her body. She was caked in it. She stood up and slowly twirled, showing off the mess that caked her backside. Mess plopped directly from her behind and from the backs of her legs. In the end, she was not sure whether it had been worth it for the money or not.

Giuliana Rancic purple carpet surprise

 

Giuliana Rancic purple carpet surprise

Giuliana Rancic (DePandi) has been a reporter on E for many years. She was would always report Hollywood news and gossip for the network as well as fashion and other trends. She did a lot of reporting about awards shows including the red carpet, the fashion and the winners at most awards shows including the Grammys, Oscars, Golden Globes and Emmys. She was asked to do the same for a teen award show similar to the Kid’s Choice Awards. It also included a healthy dose of gunge/ slime and other messes. It was a new show and they were thrilled to have E on board. Giuliana was more than happy to do her bit during the broadcast.



It started out with the red carpet. Nickelodeon had the orange carpet of course. This show had a purple carpet. The show featured the usual minor celebrities that usually appeared on this type of show as well as some slightly larger ones. Giuliana did as she usually did and interviewed them as they exited their cars and asked about how they felt, whose clothes they were wearing, what they were looking forward to etc.. There was a real air of excitement and drama in the air because no one really knew what to expect from the show as it was a brand new awards show. It would be very much in the vain of all of the other award shows, but with its own twists. They stated that they would try to include as many surprises as possible because a lot of the other awards shows were quite dull and formulaic in their nature. Of course, that being said, all awards shows had a basic format that this show would be keeping to.



Giuliana did her part by interviewing every celebrity who strolled the purple carpet. It was a very long process that was edited a bit for television. She wore a strapless, shoulder less black dress with silver sparkles at the top and matching black heals with silver sparkling bits on the heel. Her hair was back. She looked gorgeous. She had not looked as good in some time. She had a sexy tan and was not as super thin as she could be at other times.



The final person to make their way down the carpet was the host of the show. He was a comedic individual who was in his early twenties. He was something of a heart throb, but also was known for being very silly and juvenile at the same time. She stopped him and asked if he had a minute before the show started to speak with her. “Oh of course, I was actually counting on it.” He winked at the camera and put his arm around her a bit. “Are you excited to be hosting the show? What can we expect?” “Yes I am very excited. We are going to have lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of surprises.” “Oh that sounds very exciting. What kinds of surprises?,” she asked. “Well, I am so glad that you asked, because we happen to have one for you right now,” he said.



He then reached behind him. Before she could react, he had a creamy pie in his hand and smashed it into her face. Her mouth fell open as he creamed her. She could only laugh sheepishly as he pied her. Her face was covered in thick creamy mess. It plastered her hair. As this happened, she stumbled backwards. As she did this, it triggered a bucket full of sloppy purple gunge to begin pouring all over her. It dumped down her head, slopping her hair and pouring down the sides of her face. It poured down her neck and all over her bare shoulders.



The host then turned to the camera. He gave a very cheesy grin and said,” See, I bet you were very surprised by that now weren’t you,” he joked. “I definitely have to say that I was certainly surprised by that,” she uttered. She shook her head and picked form of the pie crust and gunge off of her hair.

She then had to do the final bit covered in pie and gunge. “Well, we will look forward to seeing what surprises you have in store for us on the show. Thanks to everyone for watching. Enjoy the show. I have to go get cleaned up now.” She laughed and waived.

Khloe Kardashian spokeswoman

 

Khloe Kardashian spokeswoman

Khloe Kardashian was featured in commercials for Nurtec. In these commercials, she looked absolutely amazing. She had gorgeous hair, smooth, sexy tanned skin and incredible bouncy breasts. She looked incredible in these commercials. It was clear that like her sisters and other family members that she possessed an incredible figure.



She was then asked if she would like to appear in a commercial for a completely different product. That product being a new brand of pudding. She would be giving a sort of demonstration of the product in the commercial. She agreed to take part in the commercial because they offered her a very generous sum of money to do so. She was more than happy to endorse almost anything if the price was right.

She was dressed in another tight fitting black outfit as she had been in the previous commercial. It showed off all of her curves including her massive breasts, shapely thighs and bodacious backside. She was about to demonstrate how luscious and decadent the pudding really was.



She started out sat in a reclined position. She held a pudding cup in her hand. She began to speak. “This new chocolate pudding is delicious. It is luscious, creamy and decadent.” She suggestively raised her eyebrows and licked her lips. She then peeled the film lid off of it and stuck her tongue out. She licked some of the residual pudding off of the film. “Mmm. So yummy. Once you get a taste of it, you won’t be able to get enough. Your appetite and desire for the pudding will be insatiable.” She then began to tip the pudding out over her massive chest and then over her head. She stuck her tongue out and licked some of it as it dropped down her face. The brown, chocolate pudding looked incredible on her sexy tanned skin. It was shown all over her breasts. She then lifted one of her breasts and licked some of the pudding off of her own breast.



She made another suggestive face. She then closed her eyes and looked up. As she looked up, chocolate pudding rained down upon her. It fell all over body. The pudding was shown in slow motion plopping all over her thick sexy figure. It was all over her legs, stomach and chest. She rolled around in it. She rolled over to her back and rubbed her behind and chocolate pudding plopped all over her large buttocks.

“They also have a lovely vanilla flavour that is just as delightful.” At that moment, some vanilla pudding began to slowly drip all over her. It was shown slowly dropping all over her head and body. It fell all over her clothing and coated her body. In the excitement the outer clothing she wore gently fell off and she was now in her underwear. The vanilla pudding was poured up and down her luscious curvy body. She took a finger and dipped it in the pudding. She then looked into the camera and reached out. “I bet you would love a taste,” she purred.



“They have gone one step forward with double decadence flavours. How about black forest? Chocolate with a second layer of juicy cherry pie filling or banana cream pie featuring banana pudding with a layer of thick cream?” This time there were massive oversized pots of pudding that were about four foot deep that were sat next to her. One of each flavour. She took the black forest one and began to dump it all over herself. Squishy cherry pie filling and chocolate pudding smushed all over her sexy body. She licked her lips as the viewer saw the delicious dessert squish all over her incredible body.

She then did the same with the banana cream pie pudding, pouring it over her head and body. It slowly poured out all over her. She rubbed her hands all over her messy body. She tasted some of it as well. “How delicious does that look?”

The commercial was one of the hottest things that most people had ever witnessed. It was very successful as well. Believe me, they sold a ton of pudding as a direct result of these commercials.

Karen from the Office

 

Karen from the Office

Karen on The Office was played by Rashida Jones. Karen was a bit of an odd character because in some respects, she got a raw deal, but she was also kind of a bitch in other ways at the same time. She was quite a complex character. She was always in competition with Pam for the affections of Jim. The two were always doing subtle things to try to undermine the other. Karen was always jealous of Pam. Deep down, she always knew that the two were actually in love with each other, but circumstances always seemed to interfere. On the other hand, she was always humiliated and made to look a bit foolish because of the situation that she found herself in.



Karen hatched a plan to get back at Pam and to embarrass her in front of everyone. There was a special work event that was going on as a part of team building. Karen suggested that they set up a pillory and have someone get into it and have messy items thrown on them. Of course she did this to set Pam up to be humiliated in front of everyone. She set it up so that everyone would vote for someone who they wanted to see placed in the stocks. As luck would have it, the two people receiving the most votes were Pam and Karen herself. It was actually a tie. In reality she had set it up this way. She was going to suggest that Jim have the deciding vote. She was hoping and expecting that he would choose Pam.

“So, Jim, it looks like you have the final call on this one. Who goes in the stocks? Pam or me?” She looked at Pam, smirking. She was very confident that Jim would save her as she was his girlfriend. Pam’s eyes widened. She looked very sheepish, believing that Jim was going to save Karen as well. She could tell that Karen was trying to set her up. Jim looked at them both. He gulped. He was in a very awkward position now. He really could not win either way. Of course, he was being encouraged by Kevin and others about what choice he should make. “Well, Karen, as this was your idea, I think that it is only right that you are the one to go in.” Karen glared at him in shock. Pam’s eyes widened in shock. “You have got to be kidding me. I can’t believe this,” she muttered. She was livid. She shook her head in anger.



She was dressed in tight grey trousers and a white striped button down shirt. She was made to go outside in the parking lot and to get into the stocks. She could not protest because the whole thing was her idea. Her sexy body was secured in the stocks. Bending over as she placed her head and wrists in the stocks. Her shapely behind sticking out in the air. She looked extremely angry as the top of the pillory was lowered and secured. She knew how embarrassing this was going to be. She had chosen the mess herself. She had intentionally made it as disgusting as possible because she was intending on using it to humiliate Pam. Now the mess was going to end up all over her instead. The truth was that she deserved this for trying to embarrass Pam.

The rest of the co-workers gathered around. Buckets and containers were handed to everyone to use on Karen. Jim dare not say or do anything at this point. Karen glared at him in particular. Pam tried not to laugh or show how overjoyed she was. Michael started. He was given a large pie. It was covered in lashings of whipped cream in swirling lines. You could see where it was sprayed into the pie. He thanked Karen for being such a good sport and declared that the messing was to commence. He pushed the pie into her face. Twisting it around. Everyone cheered. As the pie tin fell down the pillory to the ground, the strands of the whipped cream stuck all over Karen’s face. She could only wiggle her nose and move her tongue and lips around as bits of the pie fell down her face. He then took a second pie and pushed it right into her behind. She was pushed forward a bit as the pie smashed into her behind. The pie stuck all over her grey trousers. Some went into the pockets as some smeared down her thighs.



The rest of the staff members pelted her with eggs, tomatoes and cups of spoiled yoghurt. They splattered her all over covering her face, hair and body in layer upon layer of rotten egg, pulp, seeds, yolk and pink yoghurt. She closed her eyes as she was hit by a barrage of spoiled mess.

It was now Pam’s turn. She had to try to pretend that she was not loving every minute of this. There was a massive bucket that Karen had prepared. She was planning on dumping this on Pam herself. She had specially prepared it. It was marked with the word slop. It was not slop though. It was a mixture of disgusting mess. It looked like a thick soup. Almost like a corn chowder. It was quite runny though in places like a chicken noodle soup. She pretended that she was reluctant to do this. Everyone else encouraged her. They started chanting her name in encouragement. Pam lifted the bucket as she approached Karen. “Sorry,” she said. She then began to liberally pour the mess all over Karen. She dumped it all over Karen’s body. It smelled revolting. Pam tried to hide the fact that dumping this sloppy mess all over Karen was extremely enjoyable given what she had endured. She knew that she would have loved to have been the one to do this to her.



Having Pam do this to her was the most humiliating experience that Karen could possibly imagine. The sensation of having this woman who she felt undermined her relationship dumping mess all over her body was about as embarrassing as it could get. The sloppy mess dripped from her face and body.

Finally, there was a bucket filled with baked beans. Pam attempted to lift it, but she claimed that it was too heavy. She asked Jim to assist her. They lifted it together and began to dump the beans all over Karen together. Everyone applauded and laughed as they watched Karen’s tanned athletic body get soaked in baked beans. Her clothes were saturated in mess. Her shirt was nearly see through at this point. Her trousers were covered. Beans poured down her neck and inside of her clothes. Beans dripped down her legs.

She bit her lip in anger. She was extremely annoyed and embarrassed.

Zelina Vega and Paige egged and floured

 These are stills of Zelina Vega and Paige getting floured and egged on Twitch. They are pretty decent for what they are.
