That's not nutty. Getting onto a huge metal, glass and plastic thing that
weighs about a zillion pounds and which moves by incinerating jet fuel in
huge cylindrical things at such a rate that it not only will move that
heavy-ass plane but will accelerate it to 600 MPH until it gets ten miles or
so above the earth where it can go even faster is nutty. The whole idea is
completely insane. It's unnatural. She's right about worrying and she's
right about freaking out on one of those damn things when things go wrong,
which they do quite frequently. Pilots are very highly trained individuals
who must be ready to deal with all manner of things that go completely wrong
and that's not because they never do. Anything from a loose wire in the
wrong place to a malfunctioning yaw damper to a wayward goose can shuffle
you loose the mortal coil in less time than it would take for anything
earthbound to glide to a gentle stop. You'll never have a chance.
Unfortunately, unless she's willing to take a passenger ship to europe she's
going to have to suck it up because the Teleporter is still decades from
development and frankly, it doesn't always work right even on Star Trek.

Sometimes box office has to be the wackiest thing in the world to track.
After a 19 consecutive weekend streak of disappointing results from decent
films, a really bad one comes along in The Fantastic Four and quickly ends
that historic losing streak at the North American box office. As one bad
review after another came forth last week (slowly, Fox knew they had a
barking dog with this one), I wondered how I would recap another sad sack
weekend at the box office. Now, instead of bemoaning bad results, we're back
to trashing bad films. We are looking at YOU North America, wondering why
you decided to support this one to the tune of $56 million, and not the much
better film in Batman Begins.
Yes, the number one film of the weekend is The Fantastic Four, leaving
tracking people fired and forecasters scratching their heads. The $100
million Fox property grossed an astounding $56 million from 3,602 venues
this weekend, beating tracking by as much as $20 million. It had a strong
venue average of $15,546, and as Tim Briody said yesterday, the comic book
flick opened to about $20.8 million on Friday, resulting in a weekend
multiplier of 2.7. Word-of-mouth shouldn't have been great. Not only were
reviews bad, the comic book fanboys were downright furious with The
Fantastic Four, especially at geek-popular websites like Comics2Film and
AICN. For 20th Century Fox, this is their third big film of the summer,
having already scored with Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and
Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Additionally, you can add in some international success
for Kingdom of Heaven. Compared to other non-sequel superhero properties,
The Fantastic Four had great success, landing behind only Spider-Man ($114.8
million open), The Incredibles ($70.5 million open) and The Hulk ($62.1
million open). It is the fifth biggest opener in July, behind Spider-Man 2,
Goldmember, Planet of the Apes and War of the Worlds. Maybe the oddest thing
is that The Fantastic Four opening is not that far off the three-day gross
for War of the Worlds, which ended up with a Friday-to-Sunday gross of $64.9
million.
So what happened here? Why did a film that was tracked to open around $35
million pull a gross $20 million more than its estimate? While some griped
that the marketing was horrible, I can't really agree. The TV ads used
humour and eye candy to attract an audience, and I was looking forward to
the film until reviews begin to roll out last Tuesday. The comic book was
extremely popular even away from the comic book guys - even my wife used to
read the comic, and she is LIGHT YEARS away from your typical comic book
fanboy. I think Fox made excellent choices when deciding what pieces of the
film to use in their marketing campaign, and used blanket coverage quite
effectively. Did the London bombings and Hurricane Dennis keep people home
over the weekend? I don't think so to much extent, but I'm sure the topic
will be covered in BOP's next edition of Monday Morning Quarterback. Despite
the quality of the film (and its impending descent next weekend), The
Fantastic Four delivered the breakout that the box office needed to end its
bad news streak.
Second spot this weekend goes to last weekend's champ War of the Worlds, but
boy did it ever wilt in its second weekend. The Tom Cruise/Steven Spielberg
production earned $31.3 million in its second frame, down a not really
surprising 52%. It had a venue average of $8,005 from 3,910 venues. After 12
days, the Paramount/DreamWorks co-production has now earned $165.8 million,
with more than $100 million coming from overseas markets as well. The film
cost about $130 million to make, and a whole bunch more to market.
Third place goes to Batman Begins, the much better comic book film in the
top ten. After a three-day gross last weekend of $15.6 million, Batman
Begins held quite strongly with a $10.2 million gross and a drop of 35%.
Against a long weekend, drops tend to be higher, as audiences had Monday off
and were freer to see a movie on Sunday night. The re-imagining of the
Batman franchise is working very well. After three weekends of release, the
$150 million WB release has now earned $172.1 million domestically, and is
approaching $150 million in overseas sales as well. It has already passed
Batman Returns and Batman & Robin, and will pass Batman Forever in a couple
of weeks. The original Batman, Tim Burton's version, grossed $251.2 million
in 1989.
Finishing fourth is our other opener, Dark Water from director Walter
Salles. The Jennifer Connelly horror flick did not find the success of The
Grudge this weekend, but did manage an opening over $10 million (although
that may not be right when actuals are released tomorrow). Dark Water, a
Buena Vista release, grossed $10.1 million from only 2,657 venues this
weekend. It had a venue average of $3,811. Like predecessors House of Wax
and Land of the Dead, the PG-13 rated horror film (I'm still not quite sure
how that's possible) couldn't rise above the heavily advertised competition.
With decent reviews on its side, Dark Water will have to hope for an
excellent audience reaction, and shoot for a low drop next weekend against
weaker openers. The chances of that happening? Pretty much nil.
Fox's second movie in the top five is Mr. & Mrs. Smith, as the Brad
Pitt/Angelina Jolie thriller continues to hold nicely after five weekends of
release. The Smiths grossed another $7.9 million this weekend, down a tiny
26% compared to the three-day holiday frame. Mr. & Mrs. Smith now sits with
$158.6 million in domestic sales, and is another film in this top ten to
earn almost its domestic gross overseas as well. Fox is smoking right now,
as its three films in the top ten have grossed a combined $585.5 million.
Not bad for a summer's work, but unfortunately $370 million of that goes to
LucasFilm, as Fox was only paid help for distributing Revenge of the Sith.
Sixth is Herbie: Fully Loaded, as the Lindsey Lohan Disney flick continues
to hold well, smarting only from a disappointing opening frame. Herbie
grossed $6.3 million this weekend, down a slim 29%. The comedy, which cost
Disney about $50 million, has now earned $48.5 million. If its trend
continues, it should finish with about $70 million.
Bewitched lands in seventh this weekend, as it tries to recover from its 55%
plunge last weekend. The Nicole Kidman/Will Ferrell comedy did bounce back a
bit, grossing $5.5 million, down 40% from last weekend. Bewitched now sits
with $50.9 million, as it works toward $65 million before its run is up.
Madagascar continues its march toward $200 million, although it will likely
sputter out before it reaches that mark. This weekend, Madagascar grossed
$4.3 million, down a tiny 21% from last weekend's holiday frame. So far, the
DreamWorks Animation product has earned $179.6 million domestically, and is
approaching $100 million overseas, with some big markets still left to debut
the film.
Even Martin Lawrence's Rebound manages to hang onto a top ten spot this
weekend, thanks mostly to the lack of any arthouse films showing any power.
Rebound grossed $2.9 million, off 43% from the previous frame. At least the
comedy was able to cross the $10 million mark on Saturday, and now has a
gross of $11.4 million.
And we have a historic finish to the top ten films this weekend, as the Star
Wars: Revenge of the Sith spends its last weekend in the top ten, and the
last of any Star Wars film (unless George needs money). Revenge of the Sith
grossed $2.6 million, down 36% from the previous frame. The final portion of
the Star Wars saga has now earned $370.8 million domestically, and almost
$400 million from overseas markets. Revenge of the Sith was able to pass The
Passion of the Christ on the all time list this weekend, and should pass
Spider-Man 2 next weekend.
Overall, I am extremely happy to say that the losing streak at the box
office is finally over. Last year over the same weekend, the top ten earned
about $132 million on the strength of the second weekend of Spider-Man 2 and
Will Ferrell's Anchorman. This year, thanks mostly to The Fantastic Four,
the top ten at the box office earned $137 million, ending the 19 consecutive
weekend losing streak at the box office.

Jennifer Connoly Terrified Of Flying
July 10, 2005, 9:54:26
CONNELLY DESPERATE TO CONQUER PLANE FEARS.
Oscar-winner JENNIFER CONNELLY is desperately trying to overcome her flying
fears because it makes TransAtlantic trips with British husband PAUL BETTANY
extra difficult.
The New York-based actress admits to having nightmares about taking trips
abroad. She reveals, "I'm a really horrible flyer. I'm not superstitious
about anything; I'm pretty much a realist, but flying, I kiss the plane.
I'm petrified. It could be classified a phobia. "For the first 10 minutes of
any airplane flight I'm sort of waiting for that sound that, for me - in my
fantasy - it's like there's a nut that's come loose and it's going to go
into the engine.".
And Connelly's fears were compounded on a recent European trek when the
plane she was flying back to America on was caught up in terrible
turbulence. She explains, "On this trip, it all goes south - there's kids
covered in ice-cream, screaming, it's all madness... We get on the plane and
(there's) the most horrendous turbulence. Shocking. So bad that the flight
attendants lurched to their seats.
"I immediately, on the first loud crash, I go, `What is going on here..?'
I'm a nut... Tears start coming down." .

Brunettes Beat Blondes
Brunettes have triumphed over blondes in a list of the world's 100 most
beautiful women.
The top five in the Harpers & Queen magazine list, compiled by 1,000 experts
from the worlds of fashion, arts and the media, are brunettes.
Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie topped the poll, followed by supermodel
Christy Turlington, Queen Rania of Jordan, film director Sofia Coppola and
domestic goddess Nigella Lawson.
Blondes such as supermodel Kate Moss, Kill Bill star Uma Thurman and Lost in
Translation's Scarlett Johansson are in the top 100, but have been relegated
out of the top five.
Harpers & Queen editor Lucy Yeomans said: "We were really surprised when the
brunettes came out on top.
"But from our panel results, we witnessed a definite shift away from the
traditionally deified blonde stereotype.
"Instead, people with a more unusual and interesting beauty ranked higher.
"We encouraged people to vote on the all-round package, rather than on
physical beauty alone, so it was great to see less obvious beauties such as
film director Sofia Coppola making the top five."
THE TOP 25:
Angelina Jolie
Christy Turlington
Rania of Jordan
Sofia Coppola
Nigella Lawson
Uma Thurman
Emmanuelle Beart
Kate Moss
Aishwarya Rai

Hollywood reality check
By LOUIS B. HOBSON -- Calgary Sun
Actors love getting real and for good reason.
Just ask Jamie Foxx who won this year's best actor Oscar for his amazing
impersonation of Ray Charles in Ray.
He joins a long list of men and women who have wowed audiences and Academy
voters by inhabiting the body and soul of a famous or infamous person.
Oscar voters had quite a task in selecting Foxx this year because three of
his fellow nominees also starred in biographies.
Leonardo DiCaprio played Howard Hughes in The Aviator, while Johnny Depp
tackled eccentric writer J.M. Barrie in Finding Neverland. Don Cheadle was
recognized for Hotel Rwanda.
Cate Blanchett won this year's best supporting actress Oscar for bringing
Katharine Hepburn to life in The Aviator.
Blanchett joins a long list of actresses who won their Oscars for playing
real people including, Charlize Theron for Monster, Hilary Swank for Boys
Don't Cry, Nicole Kidman for The Hours, Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich,
Susan Sarandon for Dead Man Walking, Jennifer Connelly for A Beautiful Mind
and Marcia Gay Harden for Pollock.
Last year also found Kevin Spacey playing crooner Bobby Darin in Beyond The
Sea, Kevin Kline as composer Cole Porter in De-Lovely, Liam Neeson as Alfred
Kinsey in Kinsey, Gael Garcia Bernal as a young Che Guevara in The
Motorcycle Diaries and Jim Caviezel as Jesus in The Passion of the Christ.
This year's reality check reveals there are far fewer biographies which
drastically narrows the field of possible Oscar nominees for the daunting
and daring task of getting real.
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (May 6): Orlando Bloom plays Balian of Ibelin who defended
the walled city of Jerusalem during the Second Crusades. Ridley Scott says
"the major characters in Kingdom of Heaven all existed as did this famous
battle, but two steps back from that and everything in our movie is
fiction."
Oscar Nomination Odds: 100 to 1
CINDERELLA MAN (June 3): Russell Crowe teams with his A Beautiful Mind
director Ron Howard to play Depression folk hero Jim Braddock who defeated
the legendary Max Baer to become heavyweight champion. Renee Zellweger plays
Braddock's wife Mae.
Crowe received Oscar nominations for playing real whistle-blower Jeffrey
Wiggand in The Insider and John Nash in A Beautiful Mind proving the Academy
voters love him in biographies.
Oscar Nomination Odds: 10 to 1
THE BROTHERS GRIMM (July 29): In this wild fantasy adventure from Terry
Gilliam, the German brothers who wrote some of the most famous fairy tales
are played by Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. Instead of focusing on their real
lives, Gilliam has turned them into a pair of con artists who are inspired
to write twisted fairy tales when they encounter real dark magic in a dark
forest. What is worrisome is The Brothers Grimm has been sitting in
post-production limbo for more than a year.
Oscar Nomination Odds: 200,000 to 1
THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED (Sept. 30): Shia LaBeouf who starred as Keanu
Reeve's sidekick in Constantine plays Francis Ouimet who, at age 20 in 1913,
became the youngest golfer to win the U.S. Open. Actor-turned-director Bill
Paxton filmed in Canada using such movie and stage veterans as Jackie
Burroughs, Len Cariou and Elias Koteas who have better chances of being
recognized in supporting roles than LaBeouf even if he does all his own
swinging and putting.
Oscar Nomination Odds: 100,000 to 1
JARHEAD (Nov. 11): Jake Gyllenhaal plays former marine Anthony Swofford
serving his term in Kuwait. Joining Gyllenhaal are Jamie Foxx, Peter
Sarsgaard and Chris Cooper, but the real ace up the sleeve for this one is
Sam Mendes who received an Oscar for directing American Beauty. This one
also has the advantage of making indirect comments on the current conflict
in Iraq.
Oscar Nomination Odds: 10 to 1
WALK THE LINE (Nov. 18): Johnny Cash's life always played out like a movie
and it features a cast of characters that include Elvis Presley, Waylon
Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Johnny's wife June Carter and her
whole clan. Joaquin Phoenix plays Johnny with Reese Witherspoon as June and
both are doing their own singing, as well as laying bare their characters'
rawer emotions. Playing Cash moved Phoenix to admit his own alcohol problems
and check into rehab, which will move his colleagues.
Oscar Nomination Odds: 2 to 1
CASANOVA (Dec. 25): Lasse Hallstrom directs Heath Ledger as the fabled
Casanova. It will be a great costume drama and will afford plumb roles for
supporting actors such as Jeremy Irons, Lena Olin and Sienna Miller.
Hallstrom (The Cider House Rules, My Life as a Dog) is a favourite of the
Academy.
Oscar Nomination Odds: 10 to 1

BETTANY AND CONNELLY'S LOCATION DILEMMA
Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly are facing a huge dilemma -- he's eager
to move back to his hometown of London, while she wants them to remain in
her native New York.
The "A Beautiful Mind" co-stars, who have been married for almost two years,
currently reside in the Big Apple with their 1-year-old son Stellan, and
Kai, Connelly's 7-year-old son from a previous relationship, but Bettany
admits he'd like to return to British shores.
He says, "I would love to make London my home again. It's what I hanker
after."
Connelly admits, "I don't know. We'll see."

Crying out for more
January 31, 2004
Pass the hankies. Hollywood is using every trick in the book to get you to
see its grim pictures, writes Stuart Husband.
What shall we see at the multiplex this weekend? The Return of the King,
Love Actually ... or a dark, moody tale of emotionally complex, morally
compromised characters dealing with unbearable tragedy and devastating loss?
Hollywood hopes we'll plump for 90 minutes of misery, for this is award
season, that Golden Globe-Bafta-Oscar rollercoaster time when the studios
are judged on their "prestige" projects. But how can the film marketers
entice us away from hobbits and into works that reflect the grown-up world
in all its moral ambiguity? In an arena where "inspiring" is usually a
euphemism for "depressing," and "grim" is the ultimate four-letter word, we
need to be persuaded that feelbad is good.
"The marketing message is that these films may not necessarily be good to
you," says Paul Brett, the director of Prescience Film Finance and a former
marketer, "but that watching them and feeling their pain will be good for
you."
This season's offerings are particularly sombre. Clint Eastwood got the ball
rolling with Mystic River, his gruelling exploration of child molestation
and the murders of innocents, featuring a keening Sean Penn and a catatonic
Tim Robbins.
Penn pops up again in 21 Grams; Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's follow-up to
Amores Perros is a portrait of three lives blighted by calamity. Penn plays
a dying man in need of a heart transplant, alongside Naomi Watts as a woman
reeling from a catastrophic accident, and Benicio del Toro as an ex-con
turned religious fanatic.
There's also Sylvia, the tale of Sylvia Plath and her eventual depression
and suicide, and Jim Sheridan's emotionally charged In America.
Coming soon are House of Sand and Fog (out on February 12), in which Ben
Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly play strangers caught up in a harrowing
life-or-death struggle over ownership of a house, and Monster, in which
Golden Globe-winner Charlize Theron stares the camera down as prostitute and
serial killer Aileen Wuornos, in an unsparing portrait of her life.
Even Cold Mountain comes laden with Civil War gore, and the stellar cast run
the gamut of strained expressions.
"I know that the people whose job is to market, say, 21 Grams, will have
come out of their screening going, 'Right, how the f--- are we going to sell
this?"' says Brett. "You know that one thing you definitely don't want is to
have the words 'grim' or 'bleak' in the review, even if that review is a
rave. That just about kills the movie stone-dead. The kind of audience you
want to attract is cash-rich but time-poor, and they're not going to arrange
babysitters and car-parking and drag themselves out to a movie they believe
is going to depress the hell out of them."
In that case, Robert Mitchell, of Disney, must be reeling at the (rave)
review given to House of Sand and Fog by Variety magazine in the US: "Grim,
review-driven fare ... a bleak denouement." It's his job to market that
movie as well as Cold Mountain.
"With these kinds of movies, we've got to be honest with ourselves," he
says. "We've got to ask: who is the core audience? They're not 'event'
movies that people will go and see regardless. So any buzz you can get is a
bonus. And there's no buzz like award nominations."
With Cold Mountain, he says, its pedigree did a lot of the pre-selling.
"It's Anthony Minghella, it's a kosher literary adaptation, it's epic in
scope, like The English Patient. So people kind of know what they're
getting. The Jude and Nicole stories didn't hurt either."
Thus, the company felt comfortable enough to release the movie before the
statuette season ground into gear. House of Sand and Fog, however, is a
different matter. The novel it's based on isn't well-known; the cast is
solid but not bankable. "We plan to release it as near the Oscars as
possible, by which time it'll hopefully have garnered a few nominations,"
says Mitchell. It earned three. "I mean, it's one of those films that, if
you try to explain it to someone, they'll just sort of look incredulous."
Did he find it depressing?
"It's, um, overwrought at times," he says. "It's a tough one, no question.
It needs rave reviews."
The groundswell of goodwill from positive notices and laudatory poster
quotes can give a "difficult" movie what Brett calls "validation - the 'I
should see this' factor' ". There are several other tricks - no, let's call
them strategies - that can be adopted. The poster itself can centre on an
"inspirational" image - what Mitchell calls "the Shine factor. That was a
fairly grim movie, but you had this poster image of an ecstatic guy throwing
his hands toward heaven."
Then, the quality of the performances can be stressed: Penn, Watts and del
Toro have all been roundly praised for their work in Mystic River and 21
Grams. You can slightly sex-up the trailer: House of Sand and Fog's US
teaser, with its atmosphere of mounting menace climaxing with the
flourishing of a gun, accentuates the action and goes soft on the film's
harrowing tone, while 21 Grams' poetic preview emphasises the film's mystery
rather than misery.
You can also propel your movie into the centre of the cultural conversation.
"You want to make people feel they're missing out on huge areas of dinner
party conversation if they haven't seen it," says Tom Grievson, marketing
director of independent distributors Metrodome. This plan worked to dazzling
effect in Britain when Metrodome released Lilya 4-Ever last year. The third
film from Swedish arthouse darling Lukas Moodysson, it was the tale of a
teenage girl from the former Soviet Union lured to the West with the promise
of a better life, but sold into sexual slavery.
"There weren't many laughs in it," acknowledges Grievson. "Most people go to
the cinema to escape, but this was an escape to a very bad place. Grievson
contacted Unicef and Amnesty International and used the movie's storyline as
a way to raise awareness of the problems it addressed. "We got news pieces
broadcast about child trafficking, so it became an 'important film'," he
says. "So we got Lukas's fans coming, but we broke it to a slightly wider
audience because of the charity stuff."
Meanwhile, the poster featured a shot of Lilya 's lead actress, Oksana
Akinshina, looking ravishing rather than ravaged. "Every little bit helps,"
shrugs Grievson. "I don't think that was a con. By the time people committed
themselves to seeing the movie, the groundwork was prepared and they knew
what they were going to get - a great movie by a great filmmaker."
But while a smaller company like Metrodome can take the time to stiffen its
potential audience's resolve, the major studios, who are cranking out two or
three films a month, have no such luxury. "There's a terrible temptation to
cut a few corners," says Brett.
"You know, 'If you liked Calendar Girls, you'll love Sylvia!' But the price
you pay for the 'wrong' marketing is colossal. If there's one thing an
audience hates, it's being hoodwinked.
"But in fact, most studios have as rigid a way of marketing their
heavyweights as they do their genre pieces like Love Actually (all posters
for comedies have a white background, incidentally, I don't know if you've
ever noticed that). It's all moody music, moody lighting, the suggestion
that watching this movie is a morally enriching act; it's a bitter pill, but
you'll emerge cleansed, purified, and immeasurably grateful that your own
life looks rosy in comparison."
Of course, the occasional feelbad movie breaks out to wreak romantic havoc
for a generation. "There's a case for citing Titanic as the ultimate feelbad
film," says Brett. "Boy meets girl on ship, ship hits 'berg and takes an
inordinately long time to sink, boy dies, girl clings to ice, lives to ripe
old age, and never gets over it. And there's Romeo + Juliet as the ultimate
feelbad story. It's no accident that both those movies starred Leonardo
DiCaprio, enabling millions of teenagers to live out their doomed-youth
fantasies."
Such feelbad-mania is still the exception rather than the rule; the
shelf-life of movies such as 21 Grams and House of Sand and Fog will be
determined, in the end, by critical and award buzz. "And you just don't know
which way that'll go," says Brett. "Years ago I worked on a film called My
Life, with Michael Keaton as a guy dying of cancer and decided to record his
life, and Nicole Kidman as his girlfriend. I thought it was fantastic. Then
the reviews were horrible and I couldn't give tickets away. Last year we had
My Life Without Me [released here in May], which had the same premise, but
which ended up getting respectable reviews and doing pretty well. Of course,
it was an indie," he adds. "A tough mainstream movie still seems like an
oxymoron to many people."
It seems the marketers will always have a fight on their hands while
audiences cling to the belief that while feelbad might be good, feelgood is
better.
Somebody kill me: all-time wrist-slashing flicks
Dancer in the Dark
Woman with degenerative eye disease, which she shares with her son, combats
blindness with passion for musicals while saving money for her son's
operation. She's eventually executed.
Requiem for a Dream

Celebrities fight for privacy
By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY
Britney Spears' shopping trip escalates into a paparazzi mob scene.
Courteney Cox pleads with the press to leave her newborn daughter
alone. And Jennifer Lopez refuses to confirm that she tied the knot
with crooner Marc Anthony.
With celebrities feeling assaulted day in and day out by the
paparazzi, the tabloids and even the mainstream media, they're
building walls and trying to restrict access to their personal lives
so they can maintain some semblance of privacy.
Stars' need for seclusion collides with the public's hunger to know
every little detail about them. And the tug of war is being played
out in the media as celebrities become increasingly guarded in the
face of the onslaught:
•Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, who have rarely met a camera they
didn't love, are suddenly sealing their lips about their off-screen
lives. In a USA TODAY interview, The Simple Life 2: Road Trip stars
addressed Richie's previous drug problems but refused questions about
the Hilton sex tape and their boyfriends.
•Lindsay Lohan, whose family scandals and breast implant rumors have
rocked the tabloids, refuses to discuss her personal dramas with the
press. Several major media outlets, including this one, recently
turned down interviews with Lohan after being instructed to refrain
from asking personal questions about her father's legal problems.
(Michael Lohan appeared in court twice last month on charges of
assaulting his brother-in-law in May and a sanitation worker in
December.)
•Popster Spears is so relentlessly pursued by paparazzi that a visit
to a pet store June 20, with mom Lynne and sister Jamie Lynn, turned
into a melee when photographers circled Spears' car as her mother
tried to drive away. One photographer said he was struck by the car,
but it's unclear what really happened. Says Spears' spokeswoman: "The
paparazzi brought it upon themselves by surrounding the car in a
dangerous situation."
•Upon releasing a photo of their newborn daughter, Coco, Cox and
David Arquette issued this statement: "It is our wish that by making
this photo available, we will protect the privacy of our daughter by
discouraging the unwanted pursuit by photographers."
•Spears, whose romance with Kevin Federline has been the object of
heated media attention, sat down with People magazine for a candid
joint interview with her new fiancé. But Lopez, in the wake of her
overexposed and ultimately broken relationship with Ben Affleck, has
pulled a complete publicity shutout with her third husband, Anthony.
Three days after their wedding, Anthony refused to confirm his
nuptials either to NBC's Today show or ABC's The View. The View's
Barbara Walters, the titan of tearful prime-time confessionals,
praised Anthony for his tight lips: "I'm sure Jennifer respects that.
We'll respect that now."
People as commodities
Most of the magazines and TV shows have not followed suit.
Says Us Weekly editor Janice Min: "A celebrity is like an elected
official. If you're getting paid $20 million a movie, you have to
rely on public goodwill to stay in office. You have to accept the
fact that you're a public commodity."
The public fascination with celebrities leads to a more pressing
question in a Hollywood-mad culture: How much should people know
about what actors and singers do behind closed doors? Is anything off-
limits anymore?
It depends on whom you ask.
•"Having been on both sides of the couch, I think any interview
subject has the right to say yes, no and none of your business," says
View co-host Star Jones.
•"When I'm on the red carpet, I'm prepared for (the attention)," says
Beyoncé Knowles, one of the most heavily covered celebs on the
planet. "But the worst thing is on planes, when you're asleep and
you're woken up by a camera flashing. That's a little bit much. But
what do you do? It's a part of (being famous). Unfortunately."
•"People think because you're famous they have the right to know
everything about you, and I don't think that's true," says publicist
Cari Ross, who handles Jennifer Connelly and Salma Hayek.
Then again, the low-key Connelly has won an Oscar and remains a
critical favorite. There's a big distinction between her and a star
who makes news for her personal scandals — the Hilton sex video,
Spears' quickie Vegas wedding and annulment — and then refuses to
discuss the very antics that made headlines in the first place.
Tight-lipped 'hypocrisy'
"Paris Hilton is where she is, to a great extent, because of her sex
tape and her behavior, which is unbridled. And the idea that she
refuses to talk about it is the height of hypocrisy," says Vanity
Fair special correspondent Maureen Orth, author of The Importance of
Being Famous: Behind the Scenes of the Celebrity Industrial
Complex. "If you have not become known for any kind of talent and
achievement, if you're known for other things, then to me it's fair
game to be asking about them."
Thanks to the war of the weeklies Star, Us Weekly, In Touch and
People, the obsession with celebrities' private lives has reached a
fevered pitch that has little, if anything, to do with their work.
Adding to the frenzy is the fact that today's most saleable and
popular stars — Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston and Tom Cruise among
them — are the most private and least accessible. They may reveal
tidbits about their personal lives in a TV interview with Diane
Sawyer, for example, but are often closed-mouth when doing subsequent
interviews about a new project.
"The less someone is forthcoming, the more people want to know about
them," Min says.
And now that just about every major news outlet — including CNN, Time
and Newsweek —extensively covers celebrities, competition for
interviews is intense, and stars can pick and choose whom they chat
with.
Readers hungry for information turn to the tabloids for whatever
nuggets they can glean about their favorite stars — their loves,
babies, pregnancies, diets, marriages and breakups, even their home
addresses (something that publicists decry having printed). Now,
tabloids are digging into Mary-Kate Olsen's treatment for an eating
disorder, amid rumors that drugs might be involved, which her
publicist denies.
Most of the information comes from anonymous sources, whose
credibility may be dubious.
"I'm very private, and I like only the people close to me to know
certain things about me," says Knowles, who has never confirmed that
she is dating hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.
The same goes for up-and-comer Haylie Duff, who has learned a lesson
from younger sister Hilary.
"I think family questions are OK, but I don't plan on ever talking
about my relationships," says the elder Duff, 19. "After all that
happened with Hilary and Aaron Carter, I've learned it's best not to
even go there. They weren't even dating for that long and people made
it into so much more than it even was."
Some celebs, such as Jessica Simpson, open their homes to the cameras
and spill the beans on just about everything, but then dislike the
fallout. "The abstaining-from-sex question has gone to its limit,"
complains Simpson, who, during a concert at New York's Radio City
Music Hall, nevertheless joked on stage about remaining a virgin
until her wedding night.
Getting ahead of the game
In an effort to defuse unwanted media interest or devalue paparazzi
shots, some celebs sell photos of their newborn babies or their
weddings, with the proceeds often going to charity. That's what the
Arquettes did with Coco's photo, and what model mom Heidi Klum chose
to do after giving birth to daughter Leni in May and finding the
press camped out on her Manhattan doorstep.
"That's why I released the photos of her, instead of having
photographers hunt for them," Klum says. "They always want to shoot
the baby. Everyone wants to know what the baby looks like. They run
after me, like they've never seen anyone with a stroller before!"
Celebrity journalism is an ongoing game, a push-and-pull between
photographers and reporters on one side and celebrity handlers on the
other. To be fair, most top publicists do not impose pre-interview
restrictions or tell reporters, especially those they trust, what
questions are approved or not.
But certain instances in which stars' personal lives have
overshadowed their professional achievements are causing some
publicists to put limits on interviews beforehand, telling reporters
what subjects not to broach.
Such was the case with Lohan's media blitz promoting her gig hosting
the MTV Movie Awards. The outlet either agrees — and risks looking
clueless by putting out a story that ignores the major personal
upheaval in the star's life — or loses the interview.
If you give in, Orth says, "the celebrity has the upper hand."

A Beautiful Mind gives Connelly a beautiful life
By LOUIS B. HOBSON -- Calgary Sun
HOLLYWOOD -- Jennifer Connelly knows the joys and frustrations of house
hunting.
What she doesn't pretend to share are the frayed emotions of Kathy, her
character in The House of Sand and Fog.
Kathy is trying to cope with the depression of a failed marriage and a
continuing battle with alcoholism. She is so emotionally broken that she
even refuses to open her mail which leads to a tragedy of epic proportions.
Kathy loses her house for unpaid taxes which she eventually proves were
unjust.
By that time Behrani (Ben Kingsley), an Iranian immigrant, has purchased the
house for back taxes and has moved in with his family.
Kathy is determined to get her house back at any cost and her actions take a
bitter toll on all the major characters.
"I just bought a house in New York. My little apartment in the West Village
was fine when it was just Kai and I, but when our little family got bigger,
it got really dodgy," says Connelly, who married Paul Bettany in January.
Kai is her six-year-old son with photographer David Dugan.
She and Bettany met on the set of A Beautiful Mind, where she played Russell
Crowe's wife and he played Crowe's imaginary roommate.
Connelly and Bettany's son Stellan was born in August.
"My old apartment was so small it made us all cranky. It was horrendous. We
had to move out.
"It was becoming like a lab experiment where mice begin to turn on each
other if they are forced to live in confined quarters.
"We've bought a wonderful townhouse, but we have no furniture for it. We
have the same amount of furniture we had in the apartment so we have no
couches, no places to sit, so the house is basically these great corridors
leading to empty spaces."
Connelly jokes that "it's great for things like ballroom dancing and
skateboarding."
She says when they get really lonely for smaller digs, they just fly over to
London where Bettany still has his old apartment.
"Paul's best friend Daniel still lives there. I adore him so we've become
one big extended family. Somehow you are expected to live in smaller
quarters in England.
"We stayed there the whole summer while Paul was filming his movie
Wimbledon."
Connelly admits her marriage and new child have been a major adjustment for
Kai.
"Kai has been remarkable. He really wants to carry his little brother
around. He's been so patient with so much of my time being taken over by
Stellan.
"Paul is great with Kai and they are becoming friends."
Connelly recalls that though she and Bettany got along well on the set of A
Beautiful Mind they were "both in other relationships, so we didn't think of
each other in a romantic way.
"Paul realized there was something stronger sooner than I did and was so
understanding while I worked things out emotionally.
"We talked a lot on the phone for about a year before we actually started
dating."
She and Bettany were in a committed relationship when she was filming The
Hulk and The House of Sand and Fog and he was working on Master and
Commander: The Far Side of the World.
Though Kathy is constant emotional turmoil throughout The House of Sand and
Fog, Connelly insists it did not leave her emotionally drained or depressed.
"I've learned through bitter experience that if you get too attached to a
character's feelings it will take a toll on you personally and that's not
healthy."
She says Kathy "is a broken little girl. She's so desperate that she doesn't
really consider the consequences of her actions."
Connelly says she read Andre Dubus III's novel because "it is written in
first person narratives so your sympathies shift as you get to know the
different points of view."
The House of Sand and Fog was made for a mere $16 million US, at a time when
Connelly was coming off her Oscar win for A Beautiful Mind and the
$130-million Hulk.
"I had read and signed onto The House of Sand and Fog before I got the
Oscar, but it's such an incredible screenplay that I probably would have
done it in a heartbeat anyway."
There is already a buzz about an Oscar nomination, but Connelly says she
"leaves that in the hands of everyone else.
"It was an exciting time and the win has opened so many great doors for me.
I'm going to have to find a special place for my Oscar in my new house. I
used to keep it on a bookcase in my apartment. No one actually saw it before
because I lived in such clutter."
Connelly will begin shooting Dark Water in Toronto and New York in January.

Beauty no barrier to actress
Character's looks in 'Fog' unrelated to her problems
By Steven Rosen
LOS ANGELES - By any standard, Jennifer Connelly is a beautiful woman.
"Thank you," she says when informed of this, her small frame dwarfed by the
large sofa she is nestled in at the Century Plaza Hotel here. She stares at
this interviewer, her amused smile brightening her darkly transfixing facial
features - dark hair and eyelashes, green eyes.
And yet in a certain type of movie, beauty can pose a problem. In prestige
Hollywood films with a literary or theatrical pedigree, filmgoers - often
older and less willing to suspend disbelief than the kids who flock to "The
Matrix" - may argue with the casting of a glamorous actress as a troubled,
working-class character.
That criticism dogged Michelle Pfeiffer as a waitress in "Frankie and
Johnny," adapted from Terrence McNally's play "Frankie and Johnny in the
Clair de Lune." (Kathy Bates had played her in the off-Broadway production.)
Despite having won an Oscar as Virginia Woolf in "The Hours," Nicole
Kidman's inherent poise and elegance made the intended audience suspicious
of her as a college janitor in the recent "The Human Stain."
Connelly, who won the supporting-actress Oscar for 2001's "A Beautiful
Mind," could be facing a similar issue. In the new "House of Sand and Fog,"
adapted from Andre Dubus III's somber and cautionary novel, she plays an
angry, confused, emotionally insecure cleaning woman.
Connelly's Kathy is just ahead of homelessness - struggling to reclaim a
Pacific Coast family house auctioned off by the county in a tax
misunderstanding. A recovering alcoholic also trying to quit smoking, she
has a broken marriage and is close to despair. She lets her mail - including
notices about her house - pile up unopened.
An Iranian immigrant - a proud former colonel (played by Ben Kingsley) in
the Shah's air force - purchases the home as she tries to get it back. A con
frontation between her and his family escalates to disastrous levels. What
Dubus had in mind, and what appealed to director Vadim Perelman and his
co-screenwriter Shawn Lawrence Otto, was a metaphor for America as a house
divided by prejudice and cultural misunderstanding. It is a relentlessly
downbeat view.
And within the story, Kathy is a loser. But might Connelly be, well, too
beautiful to play such a character? "It's hard to address something that I
haven't encountered," she says.
"From the inside, I can't even see what I look like. I hear people saying
things, but I certainly don't experience myself in that way. I have days
when I'm completely riddled with insecurities and self-doubt. So it doesn't
seem to have any bearing on it to me."
Besides, she says, Kathy's problems aren't related to her appearance. "I
think people with all sorts of physical attributes have this sort of thing -
despondency, despair, depression. I tried to make her as true to that as
possible. I love the fact this character is riddled with contradictions.
She's not the kind of person you usually find as a protagonist in an
American movie."
Connelly has been working steadily since debuting in Sergio Leone's "Once
Upon a Time in America" in 1984. But it's taken a long time to gain notice.
Her first breakthrough occurred as Jared Leto's girlfriend in the
nightmarish "Requiem for a Dream." She was nominated for an Independent
Spirit Award. "A Beautiful Mind" followed - she played Russell Crowe's
wife - and she was finally a star. (She subsequently married her co-star,
Paul Bettany, and gave birth to a son in August. She also has a 6-year-old
son.)
"It wasn't like a magic pill - winning an Oscar - that suddenly made me feel
all better about the work I did," she explains. "I can see some things I do
that I'm happy with, but I see first the things I'd like to change. I think
I always bring that with me. That's the way I function. Not that it's a
great way to be, but it's just the way I'm wired.
"It's a bit personal to go into, I suppose," she says, of the way she feels
conflicted as an actress searching for her character's center. "All choice
is loss. As the (Wallace Stevens) poem goes, there are 13 ways of looking at
a blackbird - at least. So when you look at it one way, you lose all the
other interpretations you could have made. I tend to mourn the loss of all
the others and wonder if there was one that would have been better. I
torture myself with that thinking.
"This movie was frightening to do, because I thought she (Kathy) was a
character who wasn't modulated," Connelly says. "Her despair was untethered
because she had no one to connect to, and it was starting to spiral in on
itself. She was someone who was watery, in the sense that she was spilling
over all of the time and could hardly contain the outpouring of emotion she
had. It was a daunting task to feel like you had to put this (performance)
out there that felt so raw and uncontrolled at times."
Connelly, it should be clear by now, is a remarkably serious actress.
Besides approaching her acting decisions with a psychoanalytic intensity,
she chooses her projects very carefully. While her previous film, "Hulk,"
was - in hindsight - just another summer comic-book adaptation, she saw it
as an art-pop experiment. So, too, did its director, Ang Lee.
"I was interested in that because of Ang Lee," she says. "I loved 'The Ice
Storm' and I liked the fact it didn't seem to make much sense to me that he
was doing this movie. I thought it was really brave and ambitious of him.
And I thought that's a far more interesting way to spend your time than
doing another reductive movie in which everything feels safe and has been
done before."
If the director brought her to "Hulk," the story brought her to "House of
Sand and Fog." "It was a really interesting story, politically sound with
interesting characters, and I love seeing a movie that has antiheroes as
heroes," she says. "And I liked the fact that after I got to read the
, I felt I wanted to go home and hug my son. It felt like one of those
good kinds of tragedies that shake you up and sort of knock some sense into
you.
"Part of the story's tragedy is that these characters start to see each
other as human beings toward the end of the film, but at that point there's
so much destruction - and it's so emotional - you feel their demise is
inevitable. It's a valuable time for a movie like this to come out and
hopefully spur on some conversation."
