(Cannes) May 12, 2000 - World famous body
double Shelley Michelle has arrived at the 53rd Cannes International
Film Festival with 496-year-old Count Smokula, Los Angeles cult
figure extraordinaire. The duo is in town to shoot the first
international episode of Freak of the Week for Tromaville.com,
the Internet's fastest growing online community for lovers of
independent culture.
Past webisodes of Freak of the Week shot in
the United States have featured sword swallowing, fire eating,
and a man that devours light bulbs and sticks needles through
his arms. The Cannes edition will continue in this vein, as
host Count Smokula and hostess Shelley Michelle introduce European
performers with strange and unusual abilities live on the Croisette.
Besides being an accomplished musician, Count
Smokula is the 496-year-old host of Los Angeles' popular public
access talk show The Count Smokula Show. His Freak of the Week
co-hostess, Shelley Michelle, is the world's most photographed
woman, having body doubled for such actresses as Julia Roberts,
Madonna, and Kim Basinger. Both Shelley and the Count will be
available for interviews during their stay in Cannes.
