    Oh my goodness. I seriously hope she did this for a film role and for no 'religious' reasons.

    She's got a nice scalp though. LOL.

    Nothing compares!

    Nothing compares to yooooooooooou.

    Is she going to stomp on picures of a religious figure now on SNL?

    She did it for her role in the movie "V for Vendetta". A little odd, but she still looks good even without the hair [face_love].

    Here's a page with the picture from TFN.

    That's right. She's doing it for the movie adaptation of that comic. I totally forgot.

    I know that everyone's thinking Asajj when they see Natalie's new (Vin)Diesel-do...

    ...but after looking at one of those cool Jedi wallpapers from Rabbitooth.com, anyone think that Bai Ling would be a good casting choice for Ventress, even if she is(or was, as she was edited out) playing that Episode III senator?

    If they stick the character in the TV series, it would be a great way for LFL to make up for having to edit her out along with poor Katie Lucas... :)

    Thoughts?

    I'd be surprised if she would sign on to do anything Star Wars related now. It doesn't sound like she took the news very well.

    On the other hand, does LFL really need to make good on anything? I mean, it's not the most attractive part of the acting business, but it happens to a lot of people.

    I saw a concept drawing of her as Asajj when they first announced Bai Ling in SW. She would have made a good Asajj, but I owuld have wanted someone like Scary Spice from the Spice girls. Before you butcher me, I am thinking of an athletic but more feminine actress than Grace Jones. Get it?

    Scary Spice might be cool for that but I don't think she could ever do the correct accent. Her's is such a thick northern English one. Really distinctive.

    Gary, you need to stop being so picky when it comes to Asajj Ventress. Meri and I are starting to think our theory is right ;)

    Bai Ling would have made a great Asajj.

    Scary Spice = no talent.

    Then again, I really don't think Hayden Christensen's very talented either.

    Yeah there were a few photo manips of Bai as Asajj. She would be very good in the role, IMO. She kicked some butt in Sky Captain (even if she was basically a female Maul)

    It took me a while to try and remember where I had seen this actress before, but what about Devon Aoki? She was recently in Sin City and would make a very good Asajj Ventress.

    "2 Fast, 2 Furious". :)

    I think she might be a little young for Asajj.

    She's the same age (23) as Natalie Portman.

    That girl looks like an asian Presley daughter!

    She is cute, but when I think asajj, I wouldn't cast Asian. I'd rather go Indian (from India)or Middle eastern. It would be a tribal look.

    So, like, Sarita Choudhury(from "Mississippi Masala")?

    Or Parminder Nagra("Bend It Like Beckham")?

    Yeah, Parminder could work... :)
