Crushes: Jennifer Tilly

I was in a mood to talk about Miss Jennifer today....

From IMDB:

An actress who always attracts audiences' attention, Jennifer Tilly is by turns funny, sexy, compassionate, compelling and often all at once...

Trivia:

In 2005, won the Ladies-Only No Limit Texas Hold 'Em event at the World Series of Poker, becoming the first celebrity to win an open (as opposed to celebrity-only) WSOP tournament and earn a World Series bracelet. She beat out exactly 600 other women to take the championship.

Personal Quotes

"A way you can get really good abs in film is you get your makeup artist to paint shadows--faux washboard. But if you see me in a movie and I have great abs, it means I have a great body double."

"I have to tell you, I'm not like Demi Moore, where the tears trickle prettily down my cheeks. My whole face screws up and it's like, 'Oh please, get a room.' [on why she never chooses roles that involve crying]"

Some of my favorite pics:

Crushes: Daisy Fuentes

Daisy Fuentes @ Hellboy II: The Golden Army Premiere

I still remember Daisy from MTV's House of Style - there's a show they need to bring back!

Crushes: Carla Gugino

Carla Gugino @ "Get Smart" Premiere in L.A.

She will play Sally Jupiter, the original Silk Spectre, in the upcoming Watchmen movie.

Awesome.

Kylie Minogue - "Wow"

Yes, yes - I know more important things happened this week. I'm busy.

So...Kylie Minogue does one seriously cute turn on Doctor Who, and gets a "sci-fi" bug. More like the 80s, actually...

Kylie Minogue - "Wow"



I'm going to learn some of those steps...

Crushes: Jennifer Tilly

Jennifer Tilly is Lucky in Life & in Cards. Damn Her.

Comedy gold

WalMarts across the country have devoted ACRES of floorspace to products with pictures of Hannah Montana.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

edit 11/10/2008 - I corrected the link...Nyah.

Maggie Gyllenhaal for Agent Provocateur

Maggie Gyllenhaal just did a FABULOUS photoshoot for Agent Provocateur. Most of the other celebblogs are utter hating on her. Whatever. I know that you guys share my love and adoration. (Note: These aren't really her best work - I think that she has Regular Gal Seriously Turned On nailed.)

Just Because

Mary Louise Parker's Nude Weeds Ad:

Just because it's so very cute.

I run hot and cold on Ms. Parker -- loved her in "Boys On The Side" and adored her on "The West Wing" and hated her in "Angels In America" (too whiny).


Wolcott on 'Damages':

...Of American actresses, Glenn Close brandishes the same lack of sentimentality with an even more stainless steel gleam. Where Mirren looks as if she's been through the sexy wringer, Close looks more crisply tailored and hair-brushed with each new incarnation, her superhotshot lawyer in FX's Damages a human slingshot of lean calculation. Containing zero calories of sentimentality ("Never have kids," she tells the firm's latest doe-eyed hire, played by Rose Byrne), Close's Patty executes everything with ruthless exactitude: if Patty and Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly ever raced for the same waiting limo, they'd be peeling Miranda off the sidewalk like a pancake...
