The 2009 Bafta Awards and What the Celebrities Wore

The long awaited results of this year’s BAFTA awards and the ceremony to present them has been and gone for another year but still the conversation is on what the stars wore as they proceeded up  the red carpet at the Royal Opera House.

 This year there were many more black dresses than recent years; could this be due to the current economic climate?   There was a huge range of styles worn by the celebrities to different degrees of success and while some look fabulous in the dresses they wore, others have done better in the past!

Starting with the black clad brigade of which there were many, Angelina Jolie and Penelope Cruz both looked stunning.  Both women have “Deep” colouring which means that black is in their colour pallet.  I particularly liked the splash of yellow (a hot colour for this season) in Angelina’s dress.  The only criticism I would make of Penelope Cruz’s dress was the high neck line.  It made her shoulders look bigger than they really are.

Kate Winslet and Emma Watson were also wearing black which could be overpowering for their colouring, but they both wore plunging necklines so the black wasn’t too near their faces.  Emma’s dress was particularly stunning with the gold detail around the neck line. 

Kylie Minogue and Goldie Hawn were less successful in black.  Kylie’s “Soft” colouring would have been enhanced with a softer colour but again the low neckline helped.  Goldie is blonde and over sixty so black is too harsh for her.  A softer grey would have been more flattering.

Emilia Fox is much too small and frail looking for the heavy black dress with a long train which overpowered her in size and colour.

Freida Pinto a pale pink dress that was not the most flattering colour for her “deep” colouring although it was lovely to see some colour and the dress was a lovely shape to show off her curves, she needs something stronger and darker.  Laura Bailey was the height of fashion with lots of ruffles and bright colouring but sadly not the right colour for her either and Amy Adams wore a blue dress that was a perfect shape for her body but the wrong colour for  her auburn hair.  A warmer shade of blue would have been more flattering.

Kirstin Scott Thomas looked truly amazing in her black and royal blue dress; she is a woman who knows how to dress glamorously.  Her “Clear” looks are mirrored perfectly by this stunning dress. 

For me, it was Sharon Stone who stole the show.  She wasn’t the youngest woman present by any means but she looked amazing in a stunning red dress that enhanced her natural colouring and showed off her fabulous figure.

Designer frames sans prescription

Designer frames sans prescription

Designer frames sans prescription?

 

It works for the beautiful Penelope Cruz, who admits to changing a pair of prescription specs that she received from director, Woody Allen into plain glass spectacles.  Woody was admittedly enamored by her beauty, so much so he stuttered through a shoot that they did together recently.

 

Some believe that wearing plain glasses is a slap in the face to those who must rely on prescriptions in order to have good vision.  Glasses have become such a fashion statement.  Even individuals who wear plain old readers can find them in all shapes and sizes in very upscale stores and yes, even discount stores such as the dollar stores found in most American towns.  There are even websites devoted to glasses exclusively sans prescriptions.  Who knew that this would continue to be a trend years after it started?

 

Years ago, it was considered gauche and in poor taste to be seen wearing glasses for the sake of wearing them when one did not need a prescription.  Today, they have become the fashion statement and accessory seen worn by stars and everyday people around town.

 

It is not just the likes of Penelope Cruz who are taken with the idea of beautiful frames to accessorize their faces.  Drew Carey recently underwent laser surgery and continues to wear his black spectacles sans prescription, as they are a part of his signature look.  Everyday citizens are flocking to stores in search of plain glasses.  Men and women are on the hunt for the perfect accessory – and not just one pair – several pairs to complement wardrobes of varying styles: evening and formal attire, business wear, students, and job hunters – they are all seeking the look that comes with a pair of smartly fashioned lenses.

 

What better gift to give than a pair of designer sunglasses, eyeglass frames with plain glass or even prescriptions?

Watch Broken Embraces Streaming Online Free

Broken Embraces (Spanish: Los abrazos rotos) is a 2009 Spanish film by Pedro Almodóvar set in the 1990s and present day. The film centers on a four-way tale of dangerous love, and was shot in the style of a hard-boiled 1950s American film noir[3], more themed to the neo-noir genre. The cast includes many Almodóvar regulars such as Ángela Molina, Lola Dueñas and Penélope Cruz (her fourth film with the director). The film’s soundtrack features acclaimed artists such as Cat Power, Uffie, and Can.

Many themes include noir references such as posters in sets, the lighting and the characters themselves.

The film was accepted into the main selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival in competition for the prestigious Palme d’Or, his third film to do so and fourth to screen at the festival.

“Harry Caine” (Lluís Homar) is a blind writer who shares his life with his personal assistant Judit (Blanca Portillo) and her adult son Diego (Tamar Novas). Slowly, events in the present begin to bring back memories of the past. He hears that millionaire Ernesto Martel (José Luis Gómez) has died; a young film-maker, Ray X, appears and turns out to be Martel’s son, Ernesto Martel Junior (Rubén Ochandiano). Diego is hospitalized after an accidental drug overdose in a Madrid nightclub. “Harry” collects Diego from the hospital and looks after him to avoid worrying his mother. Part of the main storyline is told in flashback as “Harry” narrates a tragic tale of fate, jealousy, abuse of power, betrayal and guilt.

The first flashback is to 1992, when we first meet Magdalena Rivas (Penelope Cruz), better known as ‘Lena’, a beautiful young secretary and part-time call girl. She gets involved with Ernesto Martel, a millionaire financier, in order to make money to help her sick father. By 1994, she has become Martel’s mistress. At this time, “Harry” is still living under his real name, Mateo Blanco, and is working as a film director. The millionaire is incredibly jealous of Lena, but she is determined to become an actress and manages to win the main role in Blanco’s film Chicas y maletas; the film bears many similarities with Almodóvar’s 1988 release Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Martel spies on Lena and Mateo by sending his inhibited, obsessive gay son, Ernesto Martel Junior, to record the production of the film and hiring a lip-reader (Lola Dueñas) to interpret any conversations on set. Despite his pains, Lena and Mateo begin a passionate affair.

Furious, Martel throws Lena down the stairs, but when she survives the fall he relents and nurses her back to health. Lena and Blanco escape Martel’s hold and go on holiday to Lanzarote where Lena seeks work as a receptionist in a tourist hotel. There Blanco takes on the name of Harry Caine. They read in El Pais that Chicas y maletas has received a very poor critical reception. Fate intervenes and both are seriously injured in a car accident, which ironically is immortalized by Ernesto Martel Junior who has been tracking them with his camcorder. Mateo loses his sight and Lena, her life. Judit and an 8-year-old Diego arrive to assist Blanco to return to Madrid, but he wants to be known as “Harry Caine” from now on.

Back in the present, Judit confesses to Harry/Mateo her involvement in providing Martel the number of the hotel in Lanzarote, and later reveals to Diego that “Harry” is Diego’s father. She also reveals that Martel sabotaged the release of Chicas y maletas, producing the film using the worst takes from each scene. “Harry”, having exorcised some demons, decides to return to his life as Mateo Blanco once more. Both the lost reels of Chicas y maletas and Ernesto Martel Junior’s camcorder footage are recovered: Mateo and Diego prepare the film for its long-delayed release. In an earlier scene, Diego and Mateo watch Lena and Mateo’s final kiss on Ernesto Jnr’s grainy video stock.

Wisps of celebrity gossip from a hair salon

Wisps of celebrity gossip from a hair salon

By Sally Hastings

Hairdressing salons must be hubs of gossip. Women like to have pretty hairdos and they also like to gossip. When they meet at hairstyling salons, they gossip.

They gossip about themselves, friends, relatives, neighbours, celebrities and many other people and things. They also like to read gossip about celebrities, in magazines at home and in hairdressing salons.

Have you ever wondered what gossip you might hear in a hair salon full of women celebrities?

Wendy Iles: No. Are you asking me?

Sally: That was just my rhetorical question but, yes, I am asking you what gossip you hear from celebrities while you style their hair.

Wendy: Well …

Sally: You know. You style the hair of leading movie and television actors, top fashion models and other celebrities.

Wendy: Yes, but -

Sally: Well just what do Hilary Swank, Penelope Cruz, Monica Bellucci, Frieda Pinto and celebrities like that gossip about in your salon?

Wendy: Well, I don’t serve people like that in a salon, only in private at their homes or their business premises. I’m based in Paris and I serve clients mainly in Paris, London, New York and Hollywood.

Sally: Who are the celebrities you serve?

Wendy: Those charming people you just mentioned are among the celebrities I serve.

Sally: Who else, for example?

Wendy: Eva Longoria, of “Desperate Housewives” on television, Maggie Chung, of the movie “In the mood for love”, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dita von Tesse, Charlotte Rampling …

Sally: What do you chat about while you are styling their hair?

Wendy: We engage in cordial conversation to pass the time pleasantly while I’m working on their hair.

Sally: I mean do you hear about Penelope Cruz’s secret romance with or rumoured engagement that other actor, Monica Bellucci’s revealing video on YouTube, or Hilary Swank’s new, multi-million-dollar apartment in New York?

Wendy: You seem to know a lot of gossip about celebrities.

Sally: I learn about them by reading women’s magazines, watching celebrity news shows on TV, following postings about celebrities on the web and receiving news feeds by email.

Wendy: Do you learn much about celebrities by listening to gossip at a hair salon?

Sally: No … What do they tell you?

Wendy: Not too much. I don’t ask my clients personal or prying questions. It 
really depends on the day what they feel like revealing or speaking 
about. They will lead all conversations. I allow them to set the tone.

Sally: I understand: you’re their hairstylist, not a psychologist. You fix what’s on the head, not what’s going on inside it.

Wendy: Sometimes they are just exhausted and prefer silence.

Sally: I hear you are shooting commercials with famous movie director Martin Scorsese in Los Angeles. What have you to say about that?

Wendy: Well, the beauty campaign is very new so no words on that until it’s released. I’m pleased to be working on such a nice project with such a charming man as Mr Scorsese. I feel honoured to be working alongside such an iconic film director as he.

Sally: That’s good news but do you hear of any scandals or secrets about other celebrities, any sensational or embarrassing revelations?

Wendy: Not really. Even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you, not even in a whisper.

Sally: Would you tell me anything like that off the record?

Wendy: No. It would not be professional or ethical for me to tell anybody anything I happened to learn about my clients. I don’t do that. It’s like a doctor doesn’t talk to one patient about another, because that would not be right. He wouldn’t say, “Do you know your neighbour, Mrs Soandso, suffers from in-gown toenails? So I wouldn’t tell you if actress Whatshername failed to win a lead role in a film because on the day of an audition she suffered an attack of unruly follicles.

Sally: So your client’s never tell you any personal secrets or society news?

Wendy: Oh, a client may share a little secret with me at sometime. One delightful client who I’ve been serving for many years told me the other day, “Wendy, you’re the best hairstylist I know but I never recommend you to my friends.” When I asked why, she explained, “Because then their hairstyles would look as good as mine!”

Sally: Who was she?

Wendy: That’s confidential.

Sally: Still I wonder what celebrities might gossip about in a hair salon?

Wendy: You’re dying to know so you ask a hairdresser but, honestly, I can’t answer that one for you.

Wendy Iles is a hairstylist of international renown who began her career 25 years ago in Australia.

Lanzarote Cruz Promotes Holiday Island

Lanzarote Cruz Promotes Holiday Island

A good well publicised movie can really have an impact on the location’s tourist industry – and the news that Penelope Cruz had arrived in Lanzarote to film for two weeks was greeted enthusiastically by the Lanzarote holidays industry.


And their enthusiasm is well placed, as they have seen another European holiday island – Malta – benefit from having its locations featured on the big screen, and the Greek island of Kefalonia was made famous by the 2001 film ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ – and Penelope Cruz was the leading actress in that film, with Nicholas Cage co-starring.


Troy, 2004′s blockbuster hit starring Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom, introduced the world to Malta. Most of Troy was filmed at Fort Ricasoli. The massive fort was built by the Knights of Malta sometime between 1670 and 1693. Many people around the world would have never had the opportunity to see Fort Ricasoli if producers had decided to use props in a studio.


A Different Loyalty, starring Sharon Stone was shot in Fort St. Elmo in Valletta, Malta in 2004. Fort Saint Elmo divides Marsamxett Harbor and Grand Harbor and provides a grand entrance to both harbors. The fort doubled for the city of Beirut in the movie. The Golden Sands Beach was also chosen as a setting for parts of the movie.


Alexander, starring Colin Farrell, Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie and directed by Oliver Stone included shots from Valletta’s Grand Harbor. Grand Harbor is a natural harbor that has been used at least since the Roman times. The harbor doubled as part of the ancient port city of Alexandria in the movie.


The 1995 pirate movie, Cutthroat Island, with Geena Davis and Matthew Modine was filmed primarily in Vittoriosa. The Maritime Museum is seen multiple times in the film. Mdina, Fort St. Elmo and the Dingli Cliffs were also settings for scenes in the movie. Water tanks were provided by The Mediterranean Film Studio for use in the sea scenes.


A nighttime scene from Gladiator with Russell Crowe was filmed at Couvre Port just outside Vittoriosa. The remainder of the film was primarily shot at a replica of the Roman Coliseum. The replica was built at Fort Ricasoli on Malta.


And Lanzarote could perhaps replicated Malta’s success as it is similar in some ways, but has a different landscape.


Lanzarote, at 37 miles long and 12 miles wide, has much to offer visitors of all ages. Due to the location of the island and volcanic eruptions as recent as the 19th century, people often describe parts of the island as lunar. Some say it gives them the feeling of being in another world – ideal for some films!


Families with small children find this an exciting way to teach their children about the planets and how each area of a planet can differ from others.


The wonderful climate throughout the year is conducive to a variety of sports activities. Take your pick of golf, diving, horseback riding, tennis and windsurfing. And the weather could, like the landscape, help sway decision makers that Lanzarote could be an ideal island for making films.


As for getting to Lanzarote for the stars, Lanzarote is home to more than 100,000 people and has its own international airport.

Penelope Cruz reunites with Sergio on Venuto

Penelope Cruz reunites with Sergio on Venuto

Towards the end of last month, Screen International reported that Sergio Castellito and Penelope Cruz are to work together again. Penelope Cruz has apparently told the Italian daily La Repubblica that she would appear in the Italian actor-director’s next venture. The film in question is a movie adaptation of the 2008 Italian novel “Venuto al Mondo”, by Margaret Mazzantini.

The last time Cruz and Castellito worked together was in 2004, in the film “Don’t Move”. That movie was based on another of Mazzantini’s novels called “Non Ti Muovere”. The book had released in 2002, and had fetched the novelist the coveted Strega Prize. On the other hand, “Venuto al Mondo” won the Premio Campiello award in 2009. A Spanish version has already been released, while a French one will hit the bookshelves soon. The English version, however, won’t be available before 2011.

The book tells a compelling story of hope and love set against the backdrop of the Balkans conflict of the 90s. The main character is Gemma, a woman who, alongwith her adolescent son, returns to their common roots in Sarajevo.

Cruz was reported as saying that playing the character Gemma would be one of the most important opportunities in her career in films. She also said that although she doesn’t like war stories in general, “Venuto al Mondo” is one war story that moved her to the extent that it hurt. The actress read the Spanish version of the book, sent to her by her Castellito and Mazzantini, who are married to each other.

Meanwhile, the Rome-based The New Agency (TNA), which represents Castellito, confirmed that the director has indeed initiated the pre-production process for a new film and is currently adapting the screenplay together with his wife. The film would be produced by Castellito’s own company, Alien. Financing details have not yet been finalized and shooting is not expected to begin before 2011.

In the meantime, Cruz will be wrapping up the fourth chapter of the Pirates of the Caribbean series and then taking a break to prepare herself for playing Gemma..

Brown-haired Penelope Cruz and Her Fashion

We all know how classy and beautiful long flowing brunette hair is. You can put it up in a bun to go for an elegant and sophisticated look, or you can pull it back by a ponytail if you’re going for a playful mood, or maybe make a braid if you want a casual elegance to your style.

One celebrity with beautiful long brown hair would be Penelope Cruz. Many say that Penelope Cruz is flawless on the red carpet. And thoug her everyday fashion can be classified as classic euro-chic. the looks she creates on the red carpet has always been of high glamour. She has been dressed by the best designers in the industry like Ralph Lauren, Oscar dela Renta, Chanel and John Galliano.

With her beautiful brown hair, she has always been seen with a unique flair for the dramatic. Her gowns were usually floor-length, solidly colored and strapless or with a plunging neckline.

Just like Penelope Cruz, here are some tips on what different great styles complement long brown hair. Brunettes need to choose earth tones, because it goes well complementing whatever undertones or highlights you have in your hair. For example, if you are more on the golden side, then get a golden base with browns in them.

Of course, brunettes have to remember to look very professional during work days and job interviews, so I suggest a feminine shirt layered with your favorite tailored suit. If you are wearing your hair on top of your head in a bun, add a girly touch like pale pink camisole with lace, so as not to look like a gaudy librarian.

During casual days, wear a skirt and a silk shirt, or even some dress pants that are of matching colors. You can wear your hair in a braid, which makes you look sophisticated, yet fun and still a hint of gentle softness.

On a night out with your girlfriends, you can tie your hair up in a fancy do, or just a ponytail and wear a short skirt with a cute tank top. If you want to wear a more daring top, then pair it with a comfortable pair of jeans.

Never forget about accessories. Because they can make or break one’s outfit. Because you are a brunette, silver and gold colors are your best bet.

How Penelope Cruz Leverages Her Fear to Create Mastery

How Penelope Cruz Leverages Her Fear to Create Mastery

Copyright (c) 2009 Valery Satterwhite

“When I start a movie, the first day, I feel like a duck.” – Penelope Cruz, Academy Award Winning Actor

Penelope Cruz makes no secret that she’s terrified when she embarks on a new project, a new role. Inner thoughts of not being talented enough and anxiety over the sureness that she will be fired for one reason or another engulfs her mind as she prepares for those first few days on the set. While there is the occasional thespian who musters the temerity confidently to embody a character at the onset, Cruz is certainly not alone among actors who begin insecure and fearful they may not be able to deliver the performance the Director is looking for.

Fear and panic are not great external forces; they are powerful internal ones, generated deep in the part of the brain that is home to what I playfully call the Inner Critic. The Inner Critic is that egoic part of you that means well, wants to keep you safe, yet is woefully misguided. Preferring to keep you secure in your current comfort zone it will block you from stretching into the unknown. Every time you choose safety you reinforce what you terrifies you.

Unfortunately many talented people in every creative endeavor freeze and succumb to their fears. They Find Excuses And Reasons (F.E.A.R.) not to take on challenges, quit or hold back on the fullest expression of their creation. Have you ever faced an opportunity you wanted, perhaps even longed for, but were afraid? What went through your head at the time? Did allow your fear to hold you back or did you harness and leverage your fear to propel you forward beyond fear and into performance mastery?

Actors like Cruz acknowledge their inner fear and trepidation as they turn and focus that energy into their creation. As a committed actor, acting is more important to Cruz than giving in to her fear. Like an alchemist, she turns that fear into courage to push herself to even higher levels of excellence with each performance.

“I haven’t lost the normal fear and insecurity that comes with acting, and I don’t want to lose it. Every time a project starts, it feels like the first time. You have all these experiences that have been accumulating, yes, but it’s still new, still fresh, and I love all of those feelings, all of them. Especially the fear. Because I need that fear. I use it as fuel.” – Penelope Cruz

If you surrender to your fear, let it overpower you, you destroy the creative passion that burns within you. If you try to suppress your fear, tension will build and become blocked impulses, responses, emotions and thoughts. This is the death knell for an actor.

If you acknowledge your fear and release that depth of emotion into your performance, into your art, into whatever it is you what to bring forth into this world you will experience a life-affirming richness of fulfillment. You fear will disappear as you embracing the foreboding nightmare and mindfully step through it with every fiber of your being. There is nothing more thrilling and exhilarating than the fullest expression of your creative potential.

“Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom.” – Marilyn Ferguson, American author, editor and public speaker

She made her Hollywood debut in All the Pretty Horses in 2000 and had her first Hollywood lead role the same year in the fantasy romantic comedy, Woman on Top.

Penelope became the target of media tabloids in 2001 when she appeared in Vanilla Sky (a remake of her 1997 film Abre los ojos) and began a highly-publicized affair with Tom Cruise, which lasted for three years. The hot and sexy actress also dated her Sahara co-star Matthew McConaughey from 2005 to 2006. Currently, she is dating Spanish Academy Award-winning No Country for Old Men actor Javier Bardem, her co-star in the upcoming Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

In 2006, Penelope received highly favourable reviews when she starred in Volver. She won a Best Actress ensemble award at the Cannes Film Festival and has been nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and BAFTA Award.
