Zoe Saldana, star of “Star Trek” and the upcoming “Avatar”, has quite the mouth on her. Luckily for her, she has quite the face and body to make up for all that swearing like a sailor drunk on swearing juice. Here’s Zoe Saldana in Details Magazine, talking about what it’s like to star in a movie for James Cameron, female action movie roles, and why she’ll stab you in the eye with a unicorn horn if you mess with her TV viewing habits.

Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: The Girls Of Stargate Universe
Oh you knew it was coming. Here I was, innocently studying the last episode of SGU (Darkness), pen in hand, scribbling notes for further intelligent discussion when Blamo!, out came the Boobs. And not just any boobs. Gone was the tension I was experiencing contemplating the poor lost castaways, marooned and airless, followed by lightness and now on a smack-down course with a big ball of fusion. Instead, it was chest high closeup shots of a really magnificent Sci-Fi rack courtesy of the lovely and talented Canadian beauty Julie Anderson playing Vanessa James. I now have tension of a different sort.
BSG’s Grace Park and Tricia Helfer in Maxim Magazine
Yowsers. Why did they cancel “Battlestar Galactica” again? I’m not sure, but someone’s got some ‘splainin’ to do. Until then, here’s Tricia Helfer and Grace Park reminding you why there were some pretty awesomely good times on the Galactica before it all went to shit. The only thing missing, of course, is Katee Sackhoff. What, they couldn’t convince her to do the threesome spread? For shame, for shame.
Stargate Universe’s Alaina Huffman and Elyse Levesque are Steppin’ Out
Here are two more reasons to watch “Stargate: Universe” — Alaina Huffman and Elyse Levesque are on the cover of “Steppin’ Out” magazine. I have no idea what the magazine does, or where it’s steppin’ out to, but it can’t be all bad if it’s giving props to “SGU”, right? Magazine cover featuring the two lovely ladies below.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Jolene Blalock
In the world of notable Star Trek female Vulcans, you’ve got Kirstie Alley from “The Wrath of Kahn” and Kim Cattrall from “The Undiscovered Country”, and then, er, well, that’s about it. Of course, all those past Vulcan ladies took a backseat when Jolene Blalock became, essentially, THE Vulcan female during her stint on Enterprise.
Sci-Fi’s Top 5 Toughest Gals
There is no denying the contribution these characters have made to a genre otherwise dominated by men, and this list represents five of my favorite star hoppin’, cyborg bustin’ and alien blastin’ women in all the universe. They are bold, resourceful, intelligent, sexy and tough as nails. I know I wouldn’t mess with them that’s for sure, but enough jabbering on. Let’s get down to business.
Eliza Dushku in TV Guide
You know, I don’t know if FOX is going to do to Dollhouse what it did to Joss Whedon’s previous show (though from what I’ve read, the chances are 50-50), but one thing’s for sure: the death of Dollhouse isn’t going to do much to stem the tide of Eliza Dushku’s career. Let’s face it, having a weekly show on network TV, even one as lowly rated as Dollhouse, has allowed Dushku to show off all kinds of sex appeal, not to mention a ton of magazine appearances where she’s wearing, shall we say, just enough to show off her tattoos. This one’s from TV Guide, and yes, it makes you want to see Dollhouse if you haven’t been watching.
Diora Baird Out Of Costume
Diora Baird will be featured in a lovely green hue when she appears as an Orion (probably not a slave) in next months Sci-Fi pilgrimage destination “Star Trek” After the jump we have a few pictures from Zoo, a lovely British magazine that obviously appreciates the finer sights in Science Fiction.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Zoe Saldana
According to actress Zoe Saldana, she’s part Dominican, Lebanese, Indian, Irish, and Jamaican. Or just to make it easier, she says she just tells people she’s from Queens. We don’t really care where she’s from or what her ethnic make-up is, we just care that she’s a damn fine actress, a damn fine looking one at that, and she’s in two of this year’s biggest sci-fi flicks: J.J. Abrams’ Trek reboot and James Cameron’s “Avatar”.
Robots And Rapture: The Shiny And Sexy Occupants Of Our Possible Futures
Robots are the ultimate Sci-Fi sex objects. While the human female can be as perfect, they come with certain disadvantages, like free will and a healthy suspicion of males. Synthetic females in film and television seem designed for no guilt attraction. Most are engineered to pass entirely as women, while some wear their feminine chrome in plain view. Disguised, a beautiful bot can perform many tasks, including deluding stupid and smitten males for the brief time it will require for them to be probed, sampled, interrogated or terminated.
BSG’s Tricia Helfer and Jamie Bamber PETA Ads
Jamie Bamber and Tricia Helfer may be enemies on Battlestar Galactica, but they’re buddies in real life because both are concerned about saving animals. For Jamie Bamber, it’s saving the black bears of Canada from being hunted, killed and turned into furry hats, and Tricia Helfer wants to save cats. Because, er, apparently people are hunting, killing, and eating cats. I’m not sure about the last part, but I’m pretty sure about the first two. Probably.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Milla Jovovich
I’m not sure if model turned actress Milla Jovovich ever thought her movie career would be filled with so many sci-fi movies, but sci-fi fans sure are happy that’s how it turned out. Her first big sci-fi role was, of course, Luc Besson’s “The Fifth Element” in 1997. She followed that up with “Ultraviolet” and all three “Resident Evil” movies. Granted, the “Resident Evil” franchise can be considered horror than sci-fi, but let’s face it, those films stopped being scary after part one and has become one big fantasy/sci-fi franchise since. Didn’t they clone the lead character? That sounds like sci-fi to me.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Eliza Dushku
She’s killed vampires, kicked terrorist ass with Arnold Schwarzenegger, battled bitchy cheerleaderse, helped dead people get justice, and now she’s your perfect dream girl in Dollhouse — basically, she can be anyone you want, even if it’s just to piss some people off at your ex-girlfriend’s wedding. And oh yeah, ass kicking. Did I mention that Eliza Dushku does that pretty well, too? So of course, those are the perfect qualifications for our Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight. And even if it wasn’t, well, we would have fudged it to make it fit, anyway.
Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Charlize Theron as Aeon Flux
When you think about it, Charlize Theron as Aeon Flux should have resulted in some good box office. The futuristic actioner had one of the hottest movie stars in the world as its lead, in a movie where she’s required to wear a variety of groovy and sometimes very revealing outfits. She’s also a kickass heroine who just happens to be an elite assassin, and who doesn’t love a kickass heroine in a sci-fi action movie? Geeks love sci-fi movies where the girls can protect and kick their ass at the same time. Plus, the animated movie that “Aeon Flux” was based on was kind of a hit on TV, or at least, had plenty of cult following.
