Shopping with Penelope and Salma
|
Posted by Jacinda @ 01:00PM December 17
Contributed by Margaret
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."

Today Ashley Judd and racecar driver Dario Franchitti are marrying at Skibo Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Salma Hayek and Edward Norton arrived a few days earlier in Inverness. ET caught up with them at the airport - some footage is likely to be on the show tonight.
Both were surprised at the press interest they had generated. When asked if they were here for the wedding, Mr Norton said: "It's a private affair, so I'm not going to really talk about it now."
I hope the media is respecting their wishes for privacy so that Ashley and Dario can share a beautiful day. Congratulations and all the best wishes to the happy couple!

| Frida @ Cannes or Berlin Film Festival?
|
Posted by Jacinda @ 04:10PM November 17
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.'"

Posted by Jacinda @ 03:55PM November 15
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..

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 set for a release in February.
Another newsstory seems to support this:
Salma did a photoshooting 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. However, here are 2 new promotional black and white photos.

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."

'Frida' Test Screening |
Posted by Jacinda @ 6:06PM October 23
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.

'Hotel' / Toronto Film Festival |
Posted by Jacinda @ 3:29AM September 26
Info compiled by Morris
Salma Hayek arrived in Toronto to promote her upcoming movie 'Hotel' shortly before the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon.
Co-star David Schwimmer and Salma didn't attend the press conference for the movie as they felt it might appear "frivolous" for them to do so.
Instead they rented a car together with David Arquette and drove to Chicago where they were allowed to catch a flight to Los Angeles.
Director Mike Figgis said of his actors joining him:
"They felt as a mark of respect that they didn't want to do that, which I entirely endorse. I had reservations myself. [..] It is quite difficult for actors to be on a stage answering questions in the best of circumstances and I think that they were very concerned not to be in a situation of any kind of frivolity. I think they're devastated and didn't want to put themselves in that position."
The film festival's official website posted a report on the press conference.
Even though most activities of the festival were cancelled there was a screening of 'Hotel'. We found three reviews that give the movie mixed response. All of them include MAJOR SPOILERS and one of them even gives away the ending of the movie.
If you still want to read them follow these links: Variety (mixed positive/spoilers) | AICN (mixed/spoilers) | Hollywood Reporter (negative/major spoilers)
The first two reviews describe Salma's performance as standout performance of a terrific ensemble cast which includes a cameo by John Malkovich. The last review is very negative and even states the movie might not get a distributor.

Shampoo Commercial Shoot in London |
|
According to this news story from Yahoo! News Salma's stay in London was even busier than we had thought:
"ON THE GO: Salma Hayek isn't finding time for leisure. She finished "Frida," her long-planned Miramax biopic of late Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, on June 22, rushed to Europe for a three-day shampoo commercial shoot and then ... Without a break she rushed right off to the Mexican hamlet of San Miguel des Allendo to begin "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" with Johnny Depp, Antonio Banderas and Mickey Rourke. The film is part of Robert Rodriguez' "El Mariachi" trilogy and, in fact, was originally called "Desperado 2." Salma and Banderas are reprising their roles from the 1995 film. The original, 1993 "El Mariachi," about a revenge-minded Mexican musician, was filmed in Spanish with a Mexican cast." |

Casting Rumors: Spiderman/Geisha |
|
Recently two huge casting rumors occured. According to the Mexican radio station Exa FM Salma will have a cameo in 'Spiderman' - possibly as one of the villains.
The Mexican newspaper Dictamen reported Salma mentioned at the press conference for Harrods in London that she would star as a Geisha in a movie to be shot early next year in China.
Might this be Steven Spielberg's 'Memoirs of a Geisha'? Remember these news are only rumors, the information might as well be not true. However I thought you would be interested to hear about it.
Thanks to Victor and Armando!
