I received an email about a film made by Tao Ruspoli that Olivia narrates and they’ve asked me to post a link to the film on the website so you guys can check it out!  Spread the word around and repost this if you can.  Here’s a small synopsis/press release that Tao has written about the film and the link where you can see the film:

Behind the Wheel: The story of the LAFCO Bus, now on Youtube!
Seeing film as art is easy. Remembering that art is about challenging the world can be hard. Putting film art into action? Well, that can be damn near impossible for people… but not the members of the LA Film Co-op. Determined to make their own state of the union address and filled with youthful energy, they bought a bus, fit a modern day editing suite into it and headed out from coast to coast, interviewing notable artists wherever they found them.

Bumping into such luminaries as Dead Prez, director Oliver Stone, guerilla poster artist Robbie Conal, among all those citizens just living day-to-day, the Film Co-op has created a profound record for their time. With a new age of change sweeping into America with 2009, Behind the Wheel is an amazing final summary of the Bush years. It captures with joy and anger the spirit of resistance at a time when the majority of Americans felt disenfranchised from a country and a leader who didn’t stand for them. –Write up at the Victoria Film Festival

Olivia Wilde is a princess in real life, and now she’s a princess in the new movie “Year One.”

But her real-life title is waaaaay better than her movie one.

“I’m the Princess of Sodom [in the movie], which is a great thing to tell Mom and Dad,” she tells the July issue of Maxim. “‘Who are you playing this time, sweetie?’ ‘I’m the Princess of Sodom!’ My poor parents.”

In real life her husband, the filmmaker Tao Ruspoli, is Italian royalty. “It’s kind of hilarious, because my husband and I are so not concerned with it. All it means to us is having an incredible family history. But it’s still funny. Everyone on set was like, ‘Princess of Italy, Princess of Sodom.’”

But Wilde made sure to bone up on her research for her role.

“In my family religion was reserved for weddings and funerals, so once I got the role I had to read up on my Cain and Abel,” she said. “Plus, I had to know about Sodom, so I did a lot of research on sodomy. I’ll do anything for my craft.”

And what about being Megan Fox’s famous girl crush? (Fox once famously said Wilde was so sexy “she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands.”)

“She said, ‘I’ve had a girl crush on you for years, and I hope that doesn’t offend you,’” Wilde told maxim. “And I said, ‘Why would it offend me? I think it’s wonderful.’ Then I said something really nerdy like, ‘I should send you a thank you card!’ She said, ‘Yeah,’ and I just kind of withered. Thank you cards are not sexy!”

Olivia is in July’s issue of Maxim and I’ve added scans to the gallery. You can check out the scans below by clicking on one of the images:

Lloyd Grove at the Daily Beast is the lucky guy who got to ask all kinds of questions of Olivia Wilde, newly crowned Maxim hottie.

The dual Irish-American citizen and “House” star, 25, recently topped the mag’s Hot 100 list.

Q: What is your definition of “hotness,” and just how hot are you?

A: “Hot” has become a euphemism for all things positive, making it generally acceptable to use to describe everything from a jalapeño to a drum solo. It’s sort of a useful word.

We don’t have to think of appropriate adjectives for people, places, performances, tacos or objects anymore, as they all fit snugly under the glorious umbrella of “hotness.” So I don’t know how hot I am, but I’m honored to be considered as warmer than the average taco.

Q: What’s your hotness regimen?

A: Fourteen tablespoons cayenne pepper in my very hot coffee each morning.

Q: How did you manage to beat out Angelina Jolie (26), Beyoncé (14), Jessica Alba (34) and Michelle Obama (93)? No false modesty, please.

A: Michelle will always be No. 1 on my list. And as for those other goddesses of hotness, I think they have their own list, up on the next level, called Hotter-Than-the-Earth’s-Core.

Olivia was #1 on Maxim’s Hot 100 2009 as you all now and there was a program on television last night showcasing some of the list. I’ve added the clip of Olivia to the video center and you can watch it below! Thanks to Glamorous Kate for the clip!

It looks like Hollywood has found their newest ‘it’ girl in Olivia Wilde.

Olivia Wilde, our favorite cast member of House, was the number one pick of Maxim’s Top 100 (pushing Megan Fox to number 2). Wilde graces the June issue of GQ and also has a movie coming out - ‘Year One’.

In ‘Year One’, Olivia Wilde plays a sophisticated, seductive princess of some Ancient Roman-esque empire who is toying with Jack Black’s barbarian heart. You might say that Wilde has been training for this role since age 18, when she eloped with-an actual Italian prince. (Wilde’s a real-life princess now.)

“Yeah, it’s all been research,” she laughs when asked whether she got hitched in preparation.

Playing an angelic royal is a big comedic break for the 25-year-old actress-best known for her brooding bi-curious performances on The OC and House.

In June’s issue of GQ - Wilde dishes about the on-set culture of Year One.

“There’s not much to do in Shreveport [Louisiana, where the film was made] except hit the drive-through daiquiri stand,” she says. “So the producers gave us video cameras. David Cross made a film about whether he could make it through a day without walking-because there was no pedestrian activity in Shreveport. He went to Wal-Mart and took a cab from the car to the entrance.”

Wilde, meanwhile, spent much of her time in Louisiana canvassing for the Obama campaign. She’s a public advocate for increasing international aid and for gay rights, and she’s raised money for Doctors Without Borders.

What do you think of Olivia Wilde - the newest ‘IT’ Girl??

Olivia’s in the June issue of GQ magazine. I’ll have scans up ASAP.

House, M.D. star Olivia Wilde, who plays a bisexual terminally ill internist on the show (yes, really), has claimed the top spot in “Maxim’s 2009 Hot 100,” ranking the sexiest babes on Earth.
