Machete Kills Trailer: Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, and Amber Heard Join the Crew

I know you've been secretly awaiting a peek at Machete Kills, the sequel to 2010's violent campfest Machete, so here it is!

I know you've been secretly awaiting a peek at Machete Kills, the sequel to 2010's violent campfest Machete, so here it is! Danny Trejo returns as the terrifying ex-Federale along with Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba, only this time, they have company. Amber Heard, Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Charlie "Carlos Estevez" Sheen have all joined up. This time, Machete is battling a dangerous arms dealer who wants to launch a weapon into space. If you think it can't get much campier than that plot, wait until you see Vergara's wardrobe.

This actually seems more like a fever dream that Charlie Sheen is having than a real movie, but I'll go with it. The trailer doesn't go much into plot description, but it does offer a mélange of cast members. I genuinely can't tell if this looks like the most hilarious movie ever, or the worst. Thoughts? Check out the trailer for Machete Kills, out Sept. 13, after the jump.

The Fight: Lights Out Delivers a Calorie-Burning Knockout

I was pretty excited when PlayStation announced the release of its new motion controller, the PlayStation Move, for the PS3.

I was pretty excited when PlayStation announced the release of its new motion controller, the PlayStation Move, for the PS3. It's Sony's chance to compete against the fitness- and family-friendly Wii, without sacrificing its audience of hardcore gamers. Being an avid Wii player, I was excited to attend a preview party for The Fight: Lights Out ($37), Sony's fighting game that uses the PlayStation Move motion controller.

Going into the event I was a little intimidated: I was one of the few gals there, and on top of that, had never used the PlayStation Move motion controller. I was also meeting Danny Trejo, the actor I only know through some pretty scary roles. Danny is the voice of the trainer in the video game and is a total sweetheart IRL.

Watch, Pass, or Rent: Machete

Robert Rodriguez's violent extravaganza Machete barrels into theaters today.

Robert Rodriguez's violent extravaganza Machete barrels into theaters today. Danny Trejo plays the title role, a Mexican badass hired to assassinate an anti-immigration senator (Robert De Niro) when a former employer double-crosses him. Together with a priest (Cheech Marin), a resistance fighter (Michelle Rodriguez), and an ICE agent (Jessica Alba), he goes after his would-be killer to get revenge. Oh, and there's also Steven Seagal and Lindsay Lohan in a nun's habit.

The film looks like pure camp from its B-movie vibe to its weaponry. Rodriguez's style definitely requires a certain cinematic taste, but the majority of reviews are positive. So tell me: will you rush to theaters, or will you sit this one out?

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba Shows Off Her Legs and Reveals Honor's "Embarrassing" Habit

Jessica Alba's Versace dress was party in the front and gala in the back for last night's premiere of Machete at the Venice Film Festival.

Jessica Alba's Versace dress was party in the front and gala in the back for last night's premiere of Machete at the Venice Film Festival. Jessica's husband Cash stayed behind and wished her luck from home in CA so she brought her dad as her red carpet date instead. She and her costars helped kick things off the previous evening at a bash honoring Quentin Tarantino. She also wore a flattering coral lip for a photo call yesterday morning. She's every bit the movie star when she poses for the cameras, but Jessica is also happy to talk about her most important role: mom. She recently gushed about Honor's latest milestone, saying, "She loves to identify people's gender. She's funny about it, because she knows what a boy is and what a girl is and what makes them a boy or a girl. She likes to talk about it right when she meets people. It's a little embarrassing. She thinks she's really funny, and she is funny."

Jessica Alba Looks Dangerously Hot at Machete Premiere While Lindsay Lohan Skips Out

Jessica Alba stole the show at last night's Machete premiere at the Orpheum Theater in LA.

Jessica Alba stole the show at last night's Machete premiere at the Orpheum Theater in LA. She posed with the director Robert Rodriguez, who she's already getting ready to team up with again on Spy Kids 4, as well as costars Michelle Rodriguez and Danny Trejo. Jessica arrived in a bright orange low rider, adding to the kitschy, colorful feel of the film. Jessica's husband Cash Warren liked his wife's new ride and her cool castmates. One of the movie's most famous names didn't make the screening — Lindsay Lohan was released from rehab on Tuesday evening, in time to attend the event, but she skipped out on making her return to the red carpet. Still, Alba and the rest of the crew sent LL their best and excitedly talked up the project before it hits theaters on Sept. 3.
