Definitely no Bond girl
Posted by Jacinda @ 12:55PM January 16
"Bond girls. Tabloids and Internet sites were rife with fierce speculation over which women would share the screen with Brosnan, but eventual star Halle Berry actually snagged one of the coveted roles without even auditioning. ''I wish all my roles came as easy as this one,'' Berry said. (The other female Bond lead is a newcomer, British TV actress Rosamund Pike, who will be making her big-screen debut.) Still, other actresses did come close, director Lee Tamahori said. He really liked Salma Hayek, and British pop star Sophie Ellis Bextor was "dangerously close" to getting a part." Source: USA Today

The Daily Telegraph has reported that Saffron Burrows, Salma Hayek and Sophie Ellis-Bextor have all auditioned for roles in James Bond 20. With Pierce Brosnan unable to attend the auditions actor Colin Salmon, who plays Charles Robinson in the series, took his place.

Sophie Ellis Bextor came along too but I can't tell you any more it would be more than my job's worth."

Penelope Cruz talks about her shopping habits: "Cruz has already mastered the art of shopping in Beverly Hills, which she practices often--a little too often, she admits--with her friend Salma Hayek. "Salma and I have a very similar problem with that," she says, laughing. "Maybe it would be better if it were only one thing, like shoes, but I seem to get into trouble everywhere: Fred Segal, Barneys, Maxfield, vintage shops, the stores on Robertson Boulevard. It's not just what you buy, though--it is the whole ritual of shopping with a friend." Source: InStyle Magazine

I added a gallery with brand-new photos from last night's Critics' Choice Awards. Salma didn't win, but the nomination was already a great success.

January 9, 2002
Right now, not too much new material seems to be around. It was refreshing to find these vidcaps today. They were taken from ZZ Top's music video for the song 'She's just killing me' (part of the soundtrack for From Dusk Till Dawn). I have never seen the complete clip. If anyone knows where to find a copy of it online, please let me know. Here are the vidcaps: pic 1 | pic 2 | pic 3

Time to have a look back at the year. 2001 has had a lot of surprises to offer. Here's our recap on the highlights for Salma's career.

December 25, 2001
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Enjoy your time with your families and friends. Here is a sound file sent directly from the North Pole. I guess, Santa likes Salma just as much as we do. ;) The clip is from her appearance at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno promoting Dogma in 1999. I also made a transcript and a second one from Letterman 1998. Stay safe and happy, Jacinda

My first Christmas present arrived some days ago. I bought myself a huge package of Salma clippings. :) Thus I am going to scan a lot in the next weeks. First of all, I made a transcript of an article called "The Velocity of Salma". I am not sure in which magazine it was published, but it's definitely from 1999. If you want to know why Salma tiptoes on wooden floor, read on..

December 16, 2001
I made two videoclips from the Academy Awards 2000. Salma was presenting the Scientific and Technical Awards. Unfortunately the site with the screensavers was shut down. I will upload them some place else asap.
