Porn Star or TV News Anchor?
Speaking about his decision to cast porn star Sasha Grey in his call-girl movie The Girlfriend Experience, Steven Soderbergh said TV anchors look like porn stars these days. See if you can tell the difference!
Soderbergh told the Wall Street Journal that he didn't expect much of a reaction by casting a world-famous porn star in his sex-free story of a Manhattan call girl, because:
"It's so mainstream now.... When you look at people who are transmitting the news to you on television they all look like they're in porn, the way they're coiffed. It's really crazy. There's this like hyper-grooming thing going on now, men and women.
Maybe it's because cable news and your typical Van Nuys porn flick are made with the same production value, but we think Soderbergh may be on to something. So, we turned to our own video whiz Mike Byhoff — the only person we know who spends all day alternating between watching porn and cable news — to put together a photo line-up.
