It’s a weird and gloomy morning here in Southern California, so I thought I’d cheer myself up with some hotness and share it with y’all. I’m partial to shaved heads, so Jason Statham is right up my alley. One our photogs spotted the Transporter star taking a leisurely walk around his neighborhood in L.A. yesterday. Up next for Jason is his new movie Death Race, which will be released this August. What’s Death Race about, you might be wondering (as I was)? Well, it’s about an ex-con Jensen Ames (Jason) who is forced by the warden of a notorious prison (played by Joan Allen) to compete in the post-industrial world’s most popular sport: a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory. Yes, definitely another action-packed thriller for Mr. Statham. It’s definitely right up his alley. Anyway, check out more pics of Mr. Death Race taking himself for a walk below.

Yes, that’s Ron Jeremy joining the picket line and yelling at Jason Statham. Ron, along with other famous folks from the porn industry, were all part of a scene for Crank 2. No Pay, No Lay, the signs said, so I guess the scene was supposed to feature a bunch of prostitutes on strike. Amy Smart was also on set yesterday, looking hot as always, as was Jason. He definitely does bald well. Jason must love doing sequels because he just signed on to do a third installment of The Transporter. If you loved the first two, then you’re in for a treat for the third one. Action flicks are definitely Jason’s forte. Check out the other awesome pics from the Crank 2 set below.

I’m finally getting around to editing the hours of Crank 2 video footage we’ve gotten over the last couple weeks. As the clip shows, Bai Ling wasn’t too happy about the pictures of her and her glass cutters hitting the net last week. I’m sure you’re as surprised as I am to know she has some shame, but that’s no reason to assault the paps. If you really want to see Bai’s nipples again, you can see our previously unposted pics after the jump. Say what you want to about Bai’s nipples, that shouldn’t take away from the freak show we witnessed on the set, which you can see in the video. Apparently, someone likes to chop up bodies and keep them in the upstairs closet of a Los Angeles brothel. Go figure. Yes, you read that right. Severed heads, arms and legs came flying out the second story windows in the clip above. Enjoy!

We’ve got more video for you guys to check out. Last time it was Amy Smart. This time around, we’ve got Bai Ling. She’s always been eccentric, wearing weird stuff, and she’s definitely not afraid to let the girls out. We’ll be posting more on that later. For now, here’s a scene from Crank 2 that we got last week. Enjoy.

In case you didn’t know, Crank 2 has begun filming in Los Angeles, which is where we caught an angry looking Jason Statham with co-star Bai Ling. Other than the bloody nose Bai’s sporting, it’d be hard to differentiate her outfit from something she normally wears, being that this is much tamer than what we’re used to seeing her in. And not to ignore all you ladies out there, check out a shot of Jason’s ab after the jump.

Check out more after the jump….

Update: Lionsgate has asked us (super nicely I might add) to remove the Amy Smart pictures. And to be honest, I was happy to do it. I was feeling kinda dirty about posting them to begin with!

I also have to make a few corrections from my previous post.

First, the first Crank movie did pretty well making $44 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo, with a budget of only $12 million. I’ll let you do the math there. So it’s likely the movie has a much higher budget than I might have been led you to believe. Apologies.

Second, the first Crank movie was shot in the same manner as the second one is being shot, on video. Having said that, the camera that director Mark Neveldine is actually shooting with is the awesome Red One camera, which is much more awesome than mine. Apologies.

Lastly, I just rented the first Crank movie, which I’ll be watching later today to see what the hoopla is all about and see for myself the benefit of rollerblading videographers, which I’m told is how they got much of the cool shots in the first Crank movie done.

In conclusion, Amy Smart is hot. I know this. You know this. So I’m sure many of you will be upset to see we pulled the images. But like I always say, Never underestimate the power of a polite request. And I’m looking at you Paramount.

Get it? Rated XX. Pretty clever huh? Not so much? Well, it sounded clever to me but I may just be delusional after almost sweating to death sitting in my car all day to get these pictures for you, so be grateful! It was almost 100 degrees today! Anyway, Crank 2 has begun ‘filming’ today and I use the word ‘filming’ loosely considering they’re capturing this thing on hand held video cameras. I’m not sure what the budget is on this movie is but the camera man was actually rolling around on roller blades taping one of the stunt shots! No, I’m not kidding. I got some video of this stuff too so check back later. At one point, I almost felt like asking the crew if they wanted to borrow my video camera because my camera was probably a bit nicer than the one they were using. No, I’m not kidding. Enjoy more of our girl Amy below. I’ll have more stuff for you later but be warned, this might spoil the movie for you.

Check out the pic below! How do you get this job? What will it say on the credits of this movie for this guy? Is there a union I have to join to get a gig like this? How do you put this on your resume? So many questions.

Then there’s the cop below. Do you think he’ll tell his wife the truth when she asks him what he did today? ‘Yeah baby, I had a topless Amy Smart jump on my back over and over again all day.’ Oh yeah, that’s Jason Statham being Rodney King’d on the bottom of that dog pile.
