========================================================== ========================================================== HayekHeaven.net Salma Hayek Newsletter October 2001 http://www.hayekheaven.net Issue 10/01 ========================================================== COMMENTS BY JACINDA October was a busy month with a lot of public appearances by Salma Hayek. Mostly, she has been participating in fundraising events to benefit the victims of the Sept. 11th attacks. Salma didn't smile too much - even when she won Glamour Magazine's Woman of the Year award for breaking down racial barriers in Hollywood. Her Showtime movie 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' received positive reviews and it appears the role of Minerva Mirabal is one of her best so far. I am looking forward to seeing the movie soon. As for other news, her participation in the Salman Rushdie adaptation 'The Ground Beneath Her Feet' is confirmed. Shooting is set to start in January in London. Sounds like yet another ambitious project. In the meantime, the 'Frida' release has been postponed till February. I am afraid the movie won't be recognized with awards due to its release date. The first test screening has been well received though. Recently I felt inspired to redesign HayekHeaven.net and worked very hard on it in the last week. I have to admit that I am more than pleased with the result. I hope you enjoy the new look as much as I do. Stay safe. // Jacinda ========================================================== UPCOMING EVENTS IN NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 17 Glamour Magazine - Women Of The Year Edition at newsstands Photos at the gala: http://hayekheaven.tripod.com/dress_glamour.html ========================================================== WEBSITE UPDATES OCTOBER 2001 NEWSSTAND -=-=LATEST NEWS-=-= TV ALERT: Jay Leno October 17 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' Official Site TIME Latin America Special Issue 'The Ground Beneath Her Feet' shoots in January TV Alert: 'The Concert for New York City' Oct. 20 Leno's Harley raises $360,200 for attack victims 'The Ground Beneath Her Feet' Information 'Frida' Test Screening TV Alert: Rosie O'Donnell Show, Oct. 29 Salma receives 'Woman of the Year' award 'Frida' release in February SEE BELOW -=-=ARTICLES & INTERVIEWS-=-= Home Movies / Essay by Salma Hayek from TIME Magazine Espiando a Frida (Spying Frida) / Cinemania Magazine -=-=TRANSCRIPTS-=-= Tonight Show with Jay Leno Oct. 17, 2001 / Late Night Show 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' July 12, 2001 / TCA Summer Tour Presentation 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' Oct. 21, 2000 / Press Conference PHOTO GALLERIES 194 new photos including - latest photos: Glamour Magazine 'Women of the Year' Awards VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards & The Concert for New York City - 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' & 'Frida' promotional photos - screencaptures Tonight Show with Jay Leno Sept. 28 - screencaptures Tonight Show with Jay Leno Oct. 17 - screencaptures The Concert for New York City - 'Frida' photo coverage TIME magazine MULTIMEDIA -=-=VIDEO-=-= Teaser Trailer 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' New MPG video files: Jay Leno Sept. 28 - Salma signs Jay's motorcycle -=-=AUDIO-=-= New MP3 audio files: Jay Leno Oct. 17 - Full Interview The Concert for New York City Oct. 20 - Salma introduces Jim Carrey FANZONE -=-=FANART-=-= Collage by Remco -=-=POLLS-=-= results for Picture of the Month October & new poll ========================================================== LATEST NEWS October 6 TV ALERT: Jay Leno October 17 Salma Hayek is confirmed to be among the guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno October 17.

October 20 Leno's Harley raises $360,200 for attack victims The celebrity-autographed motorcycle and matching truck put up for auction by Jay Leno drew a top bid of $360,200 that will benefit victims of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The motorcycle, purchased by Leno in July, is a Harley FXDL Dyna Low Rider that has been autographed by dozens of Hollywood stars, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman, Nicolas Cage, Salma Hayek, John Travolta, Sylvester Stallone, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Ellen DeGeneres and Tim Allen. October 20 'The Ground Beneath Her Feet' Information The Hollywood Reporter confirms Salma's participation in the Salman Rushdie adaptation: "Salma Hayek is in final negotiations to star in the rock odyssey "The Ground Beneath Her Feet," producer Paolo Branco of Gemini Films said Thursday. The project, to be directed by veteran filmmaker Raoul Ruiz, marks the first time a novel by British author Salman Rushdie will be adapted for the big screen. Naveen Andrews ("The English Patient") is set to star opposite Hayek in the tale of a love affair between two Indian rock stars that spans several continents and decades. Ruiz and Rushdie co-wrote the screenplay. The English-language movie is due to shoot in the spring, mainly in London and Hayek's native Mexico." October 23 'Frida' Test Screening Aint-It-Cool-News has posted a report on the first test screening of 'Frida' (October 17). The guy who attended the screening gave some very positive remarks about Salma's performance: "Salma plays Kahlo as a party monster, a drinker, a lover, a figher, an artist. It's a pretty big stretch of a role, but she does pretty good with it... possible Oscar nomination, more likely a Golden Globe." His final statement was: "I really liked it, the people at the screening seemed to like it, and if art, biographies, intelligent/creative moviemaking and/or Salma Hayek are among your particular cups of tea, you'll probably like it, too." Sounds great to me. October 27 TV Alert: Rosie O'Donnell Show, Oct. 29 Salma will be on the Rosie O'Donnell Show next Monday. She is promoting her Showtime movie 'In The Time Of The Butterflies'. The Rosie newsletter also says that Salma has been named 'Woman of the Year' by Glamour Magazine. Congrats! October 30 Salma receives 'Woman of the Year' award Salma Hayek has been named one of Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year. Yesterday she was presented with her award by 'Frida' director Julie Taymor. Salma was accompanied by Edward Norton at the gala held in New York City. The other 13 honorees included Debra Messing, Diane Sawyer, Geraldine Ferraro, Bernadine Healy and Tahmeena Faryal of the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan. To be surrounded by such "passionate, fearless" women "in difficult times like these makes me feel very hopeful for humanity," Salma said. "I feel excited and terribly honored. I think it's important to come out to something like this. We have to celebrate womanhood, but now more than ever." In reference to the recent tragic events she said: "You just deal with it, you know. You are careful, but at the same time, you try to live your life very fully and be very grateful for the things you have." November 1 'Frida' release in February There have been many rumors about the possible release date of 'Frida'. Shortly after Salma said on the Rosie O'Donnell Show that she hoped the movie would be released in spring, the Chicago Sun Times reports that 'Frida' is due out in February. Another newsstory seems to support this: Salma did a photo shooting for Vogue magazine and was set to appear on the cover of the December issue. But the feature story has been postponed - which means that Miramax has decided not to release it in December. We will have to wait some more. ========================================================== HayekHeaven.net - established in July 1999 Website design & concept by Jacinda Got something to share with us? jacinda@hayekheaven.net http://www.hayekheaven.net ==========================================================
