If there is anyone who can make pointy ears and a severe haircut sexy, it's our
Uncle Albert. But for going on four seasons, Albie's had tough competition from the
lovely Jolene Blalock, who plays the Vulcan T'Pol on Star Trek: Enterprise. Next
year, you'll be able to see the out-of-this-world beauty playing a human- a sexy
human- in the movie Slow Burn, as the femme fatale caught between Ray Liotta
and Mekhi Phifer. But right now, you can see her caught on film. ("That's photo
speak for "We took pictures").
Stuff: Is this the season T'Pol finally
gets a man?
Jolene: Yeah, I think so. And I think that man's going to be Connor
Trinnear's character, Trip. The writers have turned me on to- oh for Christ's sake,
what the fuck is it called?- Trillium D. T'Pol is addicted to Trillium D. Since my
character is a drug addict, she's no longer in control of her emotions. So because
of the Trillium D, she might begin a relationship.
Will this also be the
year that your character gets it on regularly?
You mean pon far. That's
where Spock would go into heat once every seven years on the original Star Trek-
this manic, uncontrollable, burning passion of the loins. It's never been established
for females, but in the third season, we established it for T'Pol.
In one episode,
you appeared with half of your backside showing. But people claim your'e nude in
the European version of the show. Does such a fabulously sexy episode really exist?
That
is true. That was part of the massage scene, right before Trip and T'Pol do it. And
I dropped my robe. The full shot aired on the East Coast, but when the network found
out that crack was shown on Enterprise- this was after the whole Janet Jackson
wardrobe malfunction- they freaked out. They cropped it for airing on the West Coast..
Are
you comfortable with nude scenes?
Probably more than most actors. But I have
the same reservations as the next guy. Or girl.
I have no reservations.
Really?
About
you getting naked? None.
[laughs] Thank you.
There are rumors that William
Shatner might guest-star on the show this season. Would you be cool with him coming
aboard?
Bring him on. Bring all of 'em on, I don't care. Let's just meld all
the shows together. This is our last year most likely. What the hell.
Who would
win in a fight: Shatner or Enterprise captain Scott Bakula?
You know
Scott would win. Kirk is old. C'mon [laughs]
What about a moon-pie eating contest?
Probably
Kirk.
Speaking of Shatner, he attended the launch of a private rocket that
could eventually take nonastronauts like you and me into space. Is that something
you would ever be interested in?
Yeah, I'd go anywhere they'd take me. I firmly
believe in what Stephen Hawking says- that if we don't get off the planet, we're
going to go beserk. We have to have more space. And maybe that'll mean that we multiply
and destroy another planet. But you know what? That's mankind. Get used to it. We're
not going to change.
So you're a firm believer in procreation?
Absolutely.
What's really unfortunate for people like me and my husband, who look at each other
and are like, "Are we ready?" We live in a $3 million home. But are we
ready? And then down the street you've got people pumping out babies, and they're
like, "We get more food stamps 'cause we have more babies." It's just like,
oh, how are tose kids going to have opportunities?
Life always finds a way.
Hey,
mine found a way, thank God. Right? Because I was born in the food-stamp neighborhood.
You
finally play a human in Slow Burn. Is this movie hot?
[laughs] Yes.
There's a lot going on in this movie. It's a dark, artsy movie. Each character is
kind of brutal in their own way. I'm up against Ray Liotta and Mekhi Phifer and bounced
between them throughout the movie.
Would you describe your bedroom behaviour
as Slow Burn or Backdraft?
[laughs] Slow Burn, for sure.
Have you tried
a threesome in real life?
No. I'm not into threesomes. I think it's embarrassing
enough just to have a dog in the corner watching [laughing]
Are there any women
you are attracted to?
Uma Thurman. Uma Thruman is the most beautiful woman
walking on the face of this earth. Besides Erykah Badu.
You've been on The
Howard Stern Show. He seems to have a crush on you.
People at work tell
me, "Howard said that he loved you today" or something like that. I don't
get it. But I think he's adorable. I think he's amazing. I mean, it's hot, you know.
It's hot that he thinks I'm hot.
You once told me that vibrators do nothing
for you. Is that still the case?
Yeah. Maybe the one's that I've experienced
are like, that one is too rough. They didn't do anything for me.
I read
that you consider the best sex to be postfight sex- or as you put it, "the makeup
fuck." Do you and your husband fight a lot?
No, we don't. I mean, when
we do, it's always about misunderstood intentions. "But I meant....But I didn't
mean to ..." That kind of stuff. But makeup sex is just as good even after a
fight like that.
And that's what you describe as the best sex? Or have you
found something even better.
The best sex is being with somebody that you
know that you know that you know that you know loves you. You know?
And has
marriage let you explore places where no man has gone before?
Yeah. Every
crater, every- I don't know what else is on the planet. Everything's been searched
out. It's definitely another level.
Sexually, what is the final frontier?
Kama
Sutra. Tantric sex that lasts for five hours. That is something that I've explored.
I'm
usually at warp speed.
