========================================================== ========================================================== HayekHeaven.net Salma Hayek Newsletter November 2001 http://www.hayekheaven.net Issue 11/01 ========================================================== COMMENTS BY JACINDA Looking back at November.. after a long long time, we finally had the pleasure to read an exclusive interview with Ms. Hayek. She gave some interesting insights on her upcoming movies 'Hotel' and 'Frida'. After all, she seems to be confident about the 'Frida' release. The movie might even have chances to premiere at a prestigious film festival like Cannes or Berlin. The most striking news of the month popped up in the same interview with The Evening Standard. I am talking about the Bond girl news. Apparently, HayekHeaven.net was the first source to spread the news that Salma is currently considering a role in Bond20. Let's hope there will be official news to confirm her participation real soon. Besides, I had the chance to see two Salma movies this month: 'In The Time Of The Butterflies' and 'La Gran Vida'. I have to thank Ed Seawright for sending me a copy of Butterflies. What a great movie with a top-notch performance by Salma! This should keep critics quiet for some time. :) // Jacinda ========================================================== WEBSITE UPDATES NOVEMBER 2001 NEWSSTAND -=-=LATEST NEWS-=-= Concert For New York City Raises Over $30 Million Fulfillment Fund Stars 2001 Benefit Sabera Foundation Documentary Screening Frida Fashion in Harper's Bazaar 'Frida' Release New York Times 'Frida' Report Mick Jagger Performance & Album Release Party Frida @ Cannes or Berlin Film Festival?

The dollar figure is the sum of ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, domestic and international TV rights, merchandising, auction funds and donations made through a toll free number and the Internet. The Robin Hood Foundation expects a new stream of money to come in starting November 27, when Columbia Records releases a double CD featuring performances from the event. All proceeds from "The Concert for New York City" are going to the Robin Hood Relief Fund. To date, Robin Hood has disbursed $4.75 million to organizations helping victims of the World Trade Center attacks. Donations can still be made by calling the Robin Hood Foundation directly at 212-227-6601. November 10 Fulfillment Fund Stars 2001 Benefit A private charity gala sponsored by In Style magazine and BvIgari, 'Stars 2001' was part of the opening of the $615 million Hollywood & Highland entertainment complex, where the Academy Award will be held next year, in the 3,500-seat Kodak Theatre. On Thursday, the by-invitation-only event honored DreamWorks partner Jeffrey Katzenberg with the Fulfillment Fund's Stars 2001 award for his educational contributions to Los Angeles youth. 'Stars 2001' benefits The Fulfillment Fund, raising over $2 million for disadvantaged students in Los Angeles County. Over 1,200 guests attended, among them Salma Hayek. November 11 Sabera Foundation Documentary Screening Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz supported a charity event of the Sabera Foundation. Together with Melanie Griffith and Tom Cruise, they presented a documentary on children in Calcuta. Penélope Cruz has been collaborating actively with the association for several years. Salma Hayek and Edward Norton were among the guests to support the charity event. Other guests included Cameron Crowe and his wife Nancy Wilson, Mike Myers, Mena Suvari and Mia Maestro. November 12 Frida Fashion in Harper's Bazaar The November issue of Harper's Bazaar (with Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover) features a beautiful photosession by Nathaniel Goldberg that comes along with an article about Frida Kahlo's sense of style: "Madonna collects her self-portraits, Salma Hayek will soon play her on the big screen, and this season, fashion designers are paying tribute to her unique bohemian style. Suddenly, the woman who once inspired Schiaparelli and was embraced by Picasso and Marcel Duchamp 60 years ago is electrifying the world again..." November 15 'Frida' Release There have been many rumors on a possible release date for 'Frida'. In the last weeks, I've received tons of mails asking for official information. People are concerned that the movie won't make it in time for the upcoming award season. On behalf of all the fans, I've written to Miramax. They were very kind and answered really quickly. Their answer can be best summed up with this quote: "We're hearing good things about it. We don't have an official release date yet." So, nothing has been decided. I will keep you posted.. November 15 New York Times 'Frida' Report As part of a 'Style & Entertaining' supplement, the New York Times features a very interesting article on Ashley Judd's participation in 'Frida'. It is basically a set report with a couple of beautiful photos and lots of nice details on the making of the movie and the friendship between Salma and Ashley. November 16 Mick Jagger Performance & Album Release Party Salma Hayek was one of the guests at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles for a performance by rock legend Mick Jagger November 15, 2001, to showcase Jagger's upcoming solo album "Goddess in the Doorway." The performance, which featured the single, "God Gave Me Everything," was taped for an upcoming documentary and ABC special "Being Mick," scheduled to air on Thanksgiving Day. November 17 Frida @ Cannes or Berlin Film Festival? In an interview with the London Evening Standard, Salma Hayek talked about the release date of 'Frida': "This film took six years to make. I want to take my time to do it the best it can be done. We will adapt the release time to the movie, not the movie to the release time.' She is hoping to take Frida to either the Cannes or Berlin Film Festival but, perversely, seems in no hurry to show Hollywood her film-making abilities. 'No, that's what's so weird. I'm not desperate for it to come out. And I discovered I don't really want to talk about it. Everyone wants to know about my personal triumph of making the movie but to me, it doesn't feel like that. It feels like an accomplishment, but not like I made a grand thing happen.'" November 17 Bond, James Bond Salma Hayek is considering a role in the next Bond movie. Being asked if she isn't trying to get away from roles like that, she said: "Yes, but it's being directed by Lee Tamahori, who made one of my very favourite films, Once Were Warriors." November 17 Hotel Screening @ Regus 45th London Film Festival As part of the London Film Festival, a screening of 'Hotel' is scheduled for this Monday, Nov. 19 at 9pm. Mike Figgis has completely re-edited the movie after its screening at the Toronto Film Festival. The new version is shown at the Odeon West End 2, Leicester Square, WC2H 7NA. For ticket information call 020 7928 3232. November 18 Brothers Quay to direct 'Frida' hallucination sequence "Julie Taymor has recruited the Brothers Quay to direct a hallucination sequence, using their unique (read as "bizarre") style of miniatures/dolls and stop-motion animation." Source: UpcomingMovies.com November 22 'Spy Game' Premiere Salma Hayek and Edward Norton were among the guests to attend the premiere of 'Spy Game' in the Westwood section of Los Angeles, Nov. 19. The movie stars Robert Redford and Brad Pitt, who has been a close friend of Norton since they co-starred in 'Fight Club'. November 30 Halle Berry & Salma Hayek the new Bond girls? Variety recently reported that Halle Berry was set to star in the upcoming James Bond movie. Her participation is not confirmed yet due to scheduling problems with 'X-Men 2'. Berry would play the villain, while Salma might star as Bond's love interest. According to the Scottish newspaper Daily Record, Salma is in final talks. Hopefully, there will be official news soon. Remember nothing has been confirmed yet. November 30 Launch party for 'Reach Your Peak' Salma Hayek was one of the guests at the launch party for 'Reach Your Peak' in New York City, Nov. 27. ========================================================== HayekHeaven.net - established in July 1999 Website design & concept by Jacinda Got something to share with us? jacinda@hayekheaven.net http://www.hayekheaven.net ==========================================================
