Sarah Jessica Parker: “I worry about what work opportunities will come up” Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that she feels more insecure about her career than her appearance. The 46-year-old actress, who has previously admitted to finding negative comments about her looks “hurtful”, said she is more insecure about her career and family life than being considered attractive. The mum-of-three, who is married to actor Matthew Broderick, told UK magazine Stella: “I try to dress appropriately for my age and I’m a realist about what I look like. “But if those physical things were my insecurities I’d be thrilled. What wonderful problems.” She added: “My insecurities are more substantial than that. I worry first and foremost about my children and their health, my husband and his [health]. I worry about what work opportunities will come up.” The I Don’t Know How She Does It star, who was once voted the “unsexiest woman alive” by men’s magazine, Maxim, added that she doesn’t approve of cosmetic surgery. She said: “There are women who feel that Botox is necessary, but more and more I don’t think it is important for the industry.”

Rob Kardashian has dismissed reports that there is trouble in his sister Kim’s marriage to Kris Humphries already. The 24-year-old has denied that they are going through a rough patch just eight weeks after they wed. He told Access Hollywood: “My sister is completely happy, my family’s never been happier. She just got married so she should be happy.” Rob added that he isn’t bothered by the constant media attention on them. He said: “Not really, ’cause that’s the world that we live in. It’s all about trying to break up newlyweds or trying to create drama over nothing. “That’s just media and like I said, the world we live in, and we have never listened to those comments or else you’re gonna drive yourself crazy and break up your own marriage.”

Salma Hayek: ‘Juice cleanses keep me slim’

stef — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:57:20 +0000

Salma Hayek has revealed that doing a juice cleanse helps her break bad eating habits. The curvy Puss In Boots actress said that despite her love of comfort food, she keeps her fabulous figure by drinking her own nutrient-packed concoction of carrots, apples, beets and lemons. “Carrots and apples give you a super boost of Vitamin A and antioxidants,” she told Us Weekly. “My daughter, Valentina, four, loves this juice, too!” And after getting so much goodness into her body, the 45-year-old said it makes her reluctant to fill up on bad foods and undo all her good work. “When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort – but I don’t like to diet and I’m not good at it,” she admitted. “After doing a juice cleanse, I’m motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. Cleansing is like my meditation. “It makes me stop, focus and think about what I’m putting into my body. I’m making a commitment to my health and hitting the reset button.”

Tatum O’Neal: “I wanted to marry Dustin Hoffman”

stef — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 22:44:17 +0000

Former child star Tatum O’Neal reveals she once had a schoolgirl crush on the actor Dustin Hoffman and wanted to marry him. The 47-year-old actress makes her revelation in an interview with Newsweek Magazine, in which she also pays tribute to top Hollywood agent Sue Mengers who died earlier this month, at the age of 79. The Paper Moon star says she used to go to star-studded parties at Mengers’ home when she was still a teen and “fell in love” with the Tootsie star at one of the talent agent’s dinner parties. “At one of her dinners, when I was 13, I fell in love with Dustin Hoffman,” O’Neal tells the US magazine. “I was seated next to him and, for some reason, he found it really interesting to talk to me. “I thought to myself, ‘I’m going to marry him. He’s my new boyfriend’. Sue could sense my schoolgirl crush and promised she’d set up a movie for the two of us.” O’Neal, whose father is Love Story actor Ryan O’Neal, adds that Hoffman wasn’t the only Hollywood legend she met at Mengers’ parties. “In those early days, you could (and I did) meet Michael Caine, Robert De Niro after he made Taxi Driver, Barbra Streisand, Gene Hackman, Diane von Furstenberg, and even Princess Margaret.” Mengers stopped throwing parties and quit the business when her husband died in 1996, according to O’Neal. But she says celebrities still continued to visit the Hollywood matriarch. “Once, I walked in and someone pulled out a chair for me. It was Tom Cruise,” she recalls. “I looked across the room and saw Jon Hamm and Jennifer Lopez. It was unbelievable to me that even in her late seventies she [Mengers] was pulling this off.”

Zachary Quinto comes out in honour of bullied teenager

stef — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 22:11:06 +0000

Star Trek actor Zachary Quinto has said a gay teenager’s suicide motivated him to come out. Quinto, who is best known for playing Spock in the 2009 film reboot of Star Trek, says he is gay. In a blog post on his official website, the 34-year-old explained why he decided to come out after hearing about the suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, a gay teen from Buffalo, New York. Jamey took his own life back in September, just months after making a video clip for the ‘It Gets Better’ project, a campaign that is aimed at preventing suicide among bullied gay teens. Quinto, who also made an ‘It Gets Better’ video, said: “In light of Jamey’s death, it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality.” He said he was ‘eternally grateful’ to Rodemeyer for acting as the catalyst that made him want to come out. He added: “Now I can only hope to serve as the same catalyst for even one other person in this world.”

Andy Warhol’s Rolls Royce goes under the hammer

His artwork can fetch up to $100 million but how much will his car be worth? Pop artist Andy Warhol’s brown Rolls Royce is to go under the hammer at Bonhams auctioneers in January. The 1974 Silver Shadow Roller was one of Warhol’s proud possessions and he marked it with a personalised number plate saying ‘A Warhol’. Warhol rose to international fame in the 1960s. He died of complications after routine gall bladder surgery on February 2, 1987. He bought the car new and kept it until he died 13 years later. It was sold by the artist’s family a year later and has had two owners since. It comes with a copy of the original New York Certificate of Title bearing Warhol’s name.

Kate Middleton has reportedly turned to snacking to help get her body baby-ready. The Duchess of Cambridge dropped from a UK size 10 to a size 6 after getting engaged to Prince William last year. Now she has apparently managed to get back up to a size eight in an effort to get her body healthy before starting a family. “Kate Middleton knows people have been making unkind remarks,” a source told Now magazine. “She’s tried all sorts of approaches but nothing seemed to work. Now she’s finally found the solution and it’s one that any woman would kill for: snacking. “Her philosophy is that every time she’s offered a biscuit or a sweet treat she says ‘yes’. “She’s gone up a dress size and is now an 8. She and Prince William are yearning for a baby. They feel ready. Kate’s read dozens of books on the subject and knows she needs to take care of her health.”

Elizabeth Olsen reveals fame game almost put her off acting

stef — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 21:02:27 +0000

Elizabeth Olsen has revealed that she almost gave up on her acting dreams after seeing her famous sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley struggle with the pressures of fame. The 22-year-old actress, who says she grew up in “such a normal family” where “the idea of being an actor was always a realistic thing”, tells Nylon magazine that she saw the media being “abusive” to her twin sisters, especially when Mary-Kate sought help in rehab. “I thought I really didn’t want to be in this industry,” she tells the US magazine. “They turned 18 and what was going on in her life – I’m talking about Mary-Kate – was all over the news and I didn’t want to be a part of it. I just thought, ‘This is such b*******’.” The Martha Marcy May Marlene star – who poses in a Chanel jacket and denim shorts on the cover of the magazine’s October issue – credits her father for keeping the family grounded – and for ensuring that she never became jealous of her super-successful siblings. “I have to attribute the way I have always looked at it to my father, because he was a really good influence on us,” she says. “It was always very important to him that his daughters be financially independent. He wanted us to know that we could take care of ourselves, because he never liked the idea of us needing a man.” She adds: “And witnessing how my sisters can take care of themselves financially was a great model to have. I consider myself lucky to have such a normal family.”

Actor Mark Wahlberg said a movie version of hit show Entourage is the ‘goal’. The 40-year-old star is an executive producer on the show and spoke to Extra on the 2011 Emmys red carpet about the possibility of a movie version. He said: “Yeah, for sure. You saw the way it ended. After the credits, Jeremy Piven’s character is in Italy with his wife and he gets a big phone call. “I think that’s obviously going to cause a lot of tension within his relationship. And the guys are going to have to go back to where it started. We’ve been talking about the movie non-stop. That’s the goal.”
