Aniston tells of hair horror
May 26, 2006
AS Rachel in Friends, her hair was her crowning glory and prompted millions
to imitate her.
Now Jennifer Aniston says her famous locks were for many months a disaster
area after an ill-advised decision to have hair extensions.
If Brad Pitt leaving her for Angelina Jolie wasn't enough, the 37-year-old
actress said her hair was ruined by extensions she had fitted soon after
Friends ended in 2004.
At the same time, she was promoting hair products for L'Oreal, which earned
her $5 million between 1999 and 2005.
"I wanted a different look, so I cut my hair," Aniston told Harper's Bazaar.
"Obviously, I wasn't thinking clearly.
"So I decided to have extensions, never knowing that you end up with 400
things in your head that cause your hair to break off.
"Nothing destroys your hair faster than extensions. It's taken a year and a
half to grow out."
Extensions -- real hair or fibre woven into the hair and glued or
heat-sealed in place -- are more popular than ever.
Demand has doubled in three years thanks to celebrities like Victoria
Beckham, Keira Knightley and Peaches Geldof.
But Nancy Dell'Olio, Kate Beckinsale and Christina Aguilera have all been
seen with temporary bald patches caused by extensions.

I thought he had at least one child with him.
I am sure the point of the article was Keira didn't notice anything until
people started asking her. That is the message I got that she didn't mind.

For about three horrifying seconds, when I saw Nicholson in the
audience, I was convinced he was with one of the Olson twins.

She doesn't sound worried and probably did not think about it until someone
asked.

NY POST...PAGE 6
March 4, 2006 -- WITH the Oscars being presented tomorrow night, the
odiferous stench of sour grapes is wafting over Mulholland Drive.
This year, it's mainly coming from the producers of a small,
little-seen Penelope Cruz picture who are mad as hell that the saucy
Spaniard - best known for having briefly "dated" Tom Cruise - wasn't
nominated for Best Actress.
In the Italian-made indie flick, "Don't Move," which had a limited
theatrical release last March, Cruz did her best to look her worst as a
dirty-haired, gap-toothed rape victim who falls for her assailant, a
smarmy brain surgeon.
"Her entire [Best Actress nomination] campaign was sabotaged," John
Lawrence Re, one of the producers, fumed to Page Six. "[The Academy]
voters decided to not take Penelope seriously as an actress. She's
always been a person considered to be exotic and fun. And I have to say
that that worked against her. I don't see any other explanation. She
wasn't even a dark horse nominee."
Re, the CEO of film company Northern Arts Entertainment, raged on about
the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voters. "The voters are
older people you've never heard of. That body of 1,200 voters don't
even go to the movies. They go on word of mouth. So, if everybody is
saying that Reese Witherspoon should win, odds are that's who they'll
vote for. That's how the voting is done."
Everybody is, in fact, saying that Witherspoon will win for her yokel
turn in "Walk the Line." The other nominees up for Best Actress are
Judi Dench, Felicity Huffman, Keira Knightley and Charlize Theron.
Re says Theron shares the same publicists as Cruz, PMK. He claims that
the firm decided it was a safer bet to put all its eggs in the Theron
basket for her role in the chicks-in-coal-mines drama "North Country."
While Post critic V.A. Musetto gave "Don't Move" only two stars,
critiquing that it was "insulting to women," he allowed that Cruz had a
"difficult role" that "shows she can act." Similarly, Times critic A.O.
Scott backhandedly acknowledged Cruz's chops, writing that the role was
her "most credible performance to date" and "suggests she may be a real
actress."
Cruz, who dated Cruise after they starred in "Vanilla Sky," is now
billing and cooing with bottle-blond bongo aficionado Matthew
McConaughey.

Crossing over to role of a lifetime
February 27, 2006
An Oscar campaign demands an arduous shower routine, Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman tells
Christine Sams.
For the high-profile actors involved in this year's Oscars race, it can
sometimes feel like a presidential campaign.
"I haven't had to kiss babies yet or go to Ohio, both of which I would be
happy to do," says nominee Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman, with a laugh. "Of course, I've
never done a presidential campaign, I can only imagine. But I guess it is
[like that]. It's about getting people to see your movie."
When Huffman talks about wanting "people" to see her film Transamerica, she
has 5798 people specifically in mind - the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences voters, who can make or break her chances as an Oscar winner
for the best actress award.
Final voting for this year's awards closes on Tuesday in the US and stars
including Huffman have made relentless public and private outings in the
past month, carefully coiffed and dressed in designer clothes, conducting
high-profile media interviews and turning up for all-important red-carpet
appearances.
And that's not to mention staying squeaky clean - literally.
"I've never taken so many showers in my life," says Huffman, who chatted to
S exclusively from Los Angeles last week. "Your hair has to be clean every
day. I don't know about you, but I wash my hair maybe once every three days.
As a mum I wash my hair about once every 10 days if I'm lucky!"
Despite her serious bid for Oscars glory, Huffman can see the amusing side
of all the pre-Oscars grooming. "I guess the funniest part is sometimes you
put on these beautiful dresses that [then] look completely like crap. I have
to say I do think it's hilarious when that happens. I don't mean I want to
go out looking like that, but sometimes they're just so insane and made for
these six-foot-tall models, which I am not!"
Huffman, 43, is up against Reese Witherspoon'>Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line), Dame Judi
Dench (Mrs Henderson Presents), Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice) and
Charlize Theron (North Country) for the actress in a leading role award at
this year's Oscars ceremony. At this stage, Huffman and Witherspoon are
frontrunners for the prestigious award.
"The difference between Reese Witherspoon'>Reese Witherspoon and Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman is there's a
good 15-year age difference," says Aili Riley, an associate reporter for US
Weekly magazine in Hollywood. "Felicity is even more serious [about winning
an Oscar] because she's been acting for 30 years . . . this acclaim and this
critical success in her career right now is very important.
"In US interviews [where 80 per cent of academy voters live], she's taking
everything very seriously. She used to joke a lot more, she was really
funny - and she still is very funny - but as she's doing the rounds for the
awards shows and the red carpets, she's focusing on staying more serious and
in that 'actor' mode," Riley says.
In Transamerica, Huffman plays the role of Bree - a transsexual man awaiting
sex change surgery. In other words, she is a woman playing a man yearning to
be a woman. When it comes to unusual acting transformations, it has Oscars
glory written all over it.
"This role was the part of a lifetime," Huffman says. "Not only because of
her internal journey where she's holding on to all these emotions that we
all share, despite the packaging. But also because of being a woman playing
a man becoming a woman. That pastry fold-over was irresistible."
The physical transformation was one of the biggest challenges of the role,
including voice training to lower her vocal register and wearing wigs and
make-up that made Huffman look authentically transsexual.
"In terms of being an actor, that was certainly part of the appeal," she
says. "But did I ever think that anyone more than my mother and 10 people
would see it? No."
In fact, the film was such a low-budget production by Hollywood standards
that Duncan Tucker, the writer and director of Transamerica, initially asked
his mother to mortgage her home to finance it.
Because Huffman's role in the independent film has been in direct
competition with stars backed by major Hollywood studios (including
Witherspoon), her Oscars campaign has focused on the film festival circuit,
public appearances and intimate media interviews with presenters including
Oprah Winfrey.
"With a small movie like Transamerica you kind of need the push behind it
because it's an art house film," Huffman says. "We don't have any studio
money behind us."
"They know the first job and most important job is for the movie to be seen
[by voters]," says Ric Robertson, executive administrator of the Academy. He
says the jostling behind the scenes for voters' attention was now the norm
within the industry.
"I mean, this is arguably the most famous award in the world," Robertson
says. "But [the politicking] continues to amaze me and I've worked here for
25 years."
For Huffman, a key asset is credibility. She has decades of experience in
film, television and stage acting. Her marriage to William H. Macy (whom she
calls Bill), a highly respected actor, is another bonus.
"I don't know if I'm on the same level as Bill, that's for sure, but I
certainly hold onto his coat-tails," Huffman says. "The respect for him is
phenomenal."
But she says there is no competitiveness between her and her husband when it
comes to acting achievements.
"Bill has always cherished me and wanted me to shine and now is no
exception," she says. "Gosh, he's always 100 per cent behind me. He came
with me to England and Chicago, flying everywhere, on these eight-, 10- and
11-hour flights. I married well," she says.
While the star herself seems warm, relaxed and in good spirits ahead of the
Academy Awards - she is cheerfully eating porridge while we're chatting over
the phone - US commentators say Huffman has carefully positioned herself in
the minds of voters as an "actor's actor", away from her globally recognised
role on Desperate Housewives.
"I would say for Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman in particular, she's always tried to
market herself as a very serious actress. Even in Desperate Housewives she's
always been the 'actor' of the show," says Riley."With all the awards for
Desperate Housewives and now Transamerica and the Oscar nomination, I think
she's, even more, going to try and break away from the fluffy side of her
work and going into the more dramatic, serious roles. I think she feels like
she's got a big break in this role and with all the acclaim she's gotten,
she's trying to keep serious and take all of it in. She's getting really
caught up in it, I think."
But Huffman insists she is equally as proud of her work on Desperate
Housewives and is not shying away from talking about her television role
simply for Oscars credibility.
"That's not how I see it," she says. "I love Desperate Housewives, I don't
want to pull the focus away from it. I'm so proud and honoured to be on the
show."
But in terms of campaigning for an Oscar, she's still learning. "I know very
little of this because it's the first time I've done it," she says.
As for winning the prized trophy? "I don't know how it would feel," she
says.
"I know how this sounds, but honest to God it just feels so amazing being
nominated. I just can't believe I get to go to the Oscars as myself and not
as a seat filler," she adds, laughing.
"So the prospect of winning . . . well, I don't really go there. I just
think 'My God, this great movie means I get to go to the Academy Awards.
It's fantastic.' "
The transformers
The path to Oscars glory can mean a demanding physical transformation.
Nicole Kidman, The Hours
When Denzel Washington announced Nicole Kidman had won her Oscar "by a
nose", he was referring to the ugly prosthetic nose Kidman donned to play
writer Virginia Woolf. By playing down her looks - and completely
transforming her face and hair - Kidman gained the ultimate acting accolade.
"I actually would not have cast myself in the role if I was casting the
film," Kidman told reporters. "[But]I think roles fall into your lap at
certain times when they're meant to happen."
Charlize Theron, Monster
After putting on weight and donning special effects make-up, Charlize Theron
switched from being a Hollywood glamazon to a convincing serial killer,
Aileen Wournos. Theron's previous roles had relegated her as a pretty
leading lady, but the Monster role upped her credibility as a serious actor
and Hollywood heavyweight. The actor refused to wear a fat suit for the
role, instead gaining the kilos necessary to portray Wournos on screen.
Hilary Swank, Boys Don't Cry
In one of film's most extraordinary transformations, Swank played Brandon
Teena (otherwise known as Teena Brandon) in Boys Don't Cry. With a story
centred on a young woman pretending to be male - and the ensuing local
controversy and violence towards her - Swank lowered her voice register, had
her hair chopped and donned male clothing. She had previously acted in glam
TV series Beverly Hills 90210, so the credibility leap was one of the most
notable in Oscars history.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Shakespeare in Love
She might have been the girliest of girls, sobbing in her pink dress at the
Oscars podium, but Paltrow posed as a young man for her role in Shakespeare
In Love. Although her character was also shown as a beautiful woman, with
tumbling blonde locks, Paltrow dressed in men's clothing for parts of the
film and changed her voice. It was a convincing portrayal of a young woman
disguising herself to indulge her love of theatre.
Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman'>Felicity Huffman, Transamerica
She might not have an Oscars trophy yet, but Huffman is among frontrunners
this year because of her transsexual role in the indie film Transamerica.
Huffman's mannerisms, voice and physical appearance are entirely altered in
the film, with the actress convincing as a transsexual man wanting to become
a woman, via a sex change operation. She also wears a prosthetic penis for
the role. One of her most memorable lines in the film is when her troubled
character, Bree, says: "I hate my penis, it disgusts me."

Pride and Passion as Keira falls for cad
by CLEMMIE MOODIE, daily mail
08:07am 24th February 2006
Thankfully, Keira Knightley appears to be faring far better off screen with
her new boyfriend Rupert Friend, who played the treacherous Mr Wickham.
The couple, who started dating in December, were spotted kissing and
cuddling as they took a romantic stroll along the beach in the Bahamas.
"Keira and Rupert only had eyes for each other," said a holidaymaker. "They
were holding hands and looking wonderfully content. The setting could not
have been any more romantic.
"At one point they stopped walking and just hugged for about five minutes,
before turning around and gazing out to sea."
Miss Knightley, 20, is in the Bahamas to film her latest movie, Pirates Of
The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
This is her first serious relationship since splitting up with her boyfriend
of two years, Jamie Dornan. The couple separated in August but have remained
in close contact.
Friend and Miss Knightley are said to have become chums when filming Pride
And Prejudice but did not meet up romantically until her relationship with
Dornan was officially over.

Keira looking fine in Silk
Posted by Clint Morris on December 20, 2005
Foxy Keira Knightley will go from wearing corsets to, um, wearing corsets.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Pride and Prejudice" stunner will star
in "Silk", based on the book by Alessandro Baricco, says KeiraWeb.
Set in 19th Century France, the film will tell of a married silkworm
smuggler, Herve Joncour who travels to Japan to collect his clandestine
cargo. While there he spots a beautiful European woman, the mistress of a
local baron, and they fall in love. When Herve's wife begins to suspect
something is up, a black cloud starts to mask the unrequited love.
Michael Pitt, who played Jen's one-time boytoy Henry on TV's "Dawson's
Creek" and that Cobain-esque character in the recent "Last Days", might play
the husband character.
Bookcrossing.com says of the book : France, 1861. When an epidemic threatens
to wipe up out the silk trade in France, Hervé Joncour, a young silk
breeder, has to travel overland to distand Japan, out of bounds to
foreigners, to smuggle out healthy silkworms. In the course of his secret
negotiations with the local baron, Joncour's attention is arrested by the
man's concubine, a girl who doesn't have oriental eyes. Although they're
unable to exchange so much as a word, love blossoms between them, a love
that is conveyed in a number of recondite messages. How their secret affair
develops is told in this remarkable love story. As haunting as a strain of
passionate music, Silk is an enchantment, an exquisite narrative and
stylistic tour de force..
The film, to be directed by Francois Girard ["The Red Violin"], will be
before the cameras next Spring. Yep, KK's going to film it in-between
"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

Now watch her lather up the Hollywood foreign press association in the
coming weeks in pursuit of more "shocking" triumphs. An ambitious young
thing like her can go far in this business. More mock humility girl,
and some risque dressing at the various fetes and you've got a fighting
chance of winning the prize.

- (about wearing a corset on Pirates of the Caribbean) "I had a Scarlet O'Hara thing, she gets her waist down to 18 and a half inches - so I thought I would try that. For 5 minutes it's fantastic - you have this tiny waist and fantastic cleavage, but oxygen deprivation is a big problem!"
- "The problem for me was that by being in the film the magic was broken. I loved the first Star Wars film and my mum was really into it too, that's why I took the part. But the Force wasn't there W_hen we were filming it, and they didn't have real light sabres, which annoyed me."
- Her role as the decoy queen in Star Wars was kept secret in order to not spoil the surprise, it was maintained through the promotions that Portman played both the Queen and the decoy.
- The similarity between her and Natalie Portman, meant that during the filming of The Phantom Menace, their own mothers could not tell them apart once in makeup.
- Trained in dancing.
- One brother, Caleb, born in 1979.
- Mother is actress-turned-author Sharman Macdonald, who wrote 'I used to scream and shout' and 'The Winter's Tale'
- Member of the Heathham House Youth Project.
- Daughter of actor Will Knightley.
