Is Lindsay Over Already?
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Lindsay Lohan is only 23, but some people think her career is already over! Spike TV has chosen their list of the top ten actresses who’ve passed their expiration date, and Linds was the only name under 30 on the list. The unlucky ladies are:
10. Nicole Kidman
9. Teri Hatcher
8. Drew Barrymore
7. Helen Hunt
6. Renee Zellweger
5. Lindsay Lohan
4. Sarah Jessica Parker
3. Meg Ryan
2. Cameron Diaz
1. Julia Roberts
Admittedly, Spike TV is aimed at the male demo, so they’re choices are based more on “hotness” than acting ability. But you gotta admit, Lindsay ain’t lookin’ so hot these days. Spike was especially nasty when dissing the troubled starlet’s fading film career.
“We don’t want to have to pay 10 to 15 bucks to look at this tore up ho no mo’. Somebody get her a sitcom or a long session of electroshock therapy, just get her the hell out of the movies. Please.” Uh, hasn’t that happened already, guys?

Is Julia’s Reign Over?
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
Julia Roberts was the undisputed queen of the silver screen during the 90s but her best days seem to be behind her. Her last major film was “Erin Brockovich” in 2000, and in the nine years since, she’s been devoting most of her time to her husband and three kids. “Duplicity” was supposed to be her big comeback but it doesn’t seem to be working out that way.
FoxNews reports that the Roberts vehicle finished a disappointing third this weekend, following Nicolas Cage in “Knowing” and Paul Rudd’s “I Love You, Man.” Was she away too long? At 41, is she too old to compete with the likes of Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon? Maybe she has another Oscar-winning performance ahead of her but it’s not easy to be an over-40 actress in Hollywood.

Julia’s Red Carpet Return
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
Julia Roberts has returned the screen after a hiatus to raise her family—and is finding being back in the limelight a bit daunting. At the London premiere of her new film “Duplicity,” she spoke to People about stepping out on the red carpet again. Julia described the experience as “Just terrifying, awful. It’s scary out there – but it’s nice.”
Don’t expect the now 40+ star to get back to the kind of back-to-back film schedule that made her the premiere leading lady of the 90s. She told People, “I don’t have the bug to work, I have the bug to make good movies and those don’t come along very often.”
Well, they certainly don’t some along very often for an actress over 40 in Hollywood. It’s just as well she has other priorities these days.

Julia Loves Being A Mom
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
Julia Roberts has been laying kinda low lately but she has a new film called “Duplicity” coming out next month, so expect to see her on the cover of every rag except “Field and Stream.” She graces the March cover of Allure, looking much younger than her years—and totally PhotoShopped. Inside, she rhapsodizes about her home life with second husband Danny Moder and kids Hazel and Phinnaeus, 4, and Henry, 20 months.
“The key to beauty is always to be looking at someone who loves you, really. One of my favorite things about my children right now, even Henry, who can’t say all the words…sometimes he’ll see me and go, ‘Ma-ma!’ and throw himself on me. Or Finn says he likes my earrings. Or Hazel will say, ‘You look pretty, Mama,’ first thing in the morning. And I realize, that’s all my husband.
?They’re seeing the things that he does and the way that he shares his feelings with me, and the way that I share my feelings with him. The coolest thing you can do for your children is to love each other in their presence.”
Aww, how sweet. It’s always so adorable when these actresses who spent their younger years sleeping their way through every male in Hollywood hit forty and become Mommy of the Year.

This Will Be Great For Lifetime
Thursday, October 16th, 2008
So Momma Spears just doesn’t know how to keep her little mouth shut, as we all knew from her memoir “Through the Storm”. It turns out she is trying to make her book into a movie, which in my opinion is better suited for the Lifetime network than the silver screen. This sort of thing makes me start to feel bad for lil Brit Brit. As if she hasn’t already gone through enough turmoil and embarrassment with this book ordeal, now there’s a possibility of it being immortalized in a poorly acted performance? According to ShowbizSpy, Lynne is trying to get Julia Roberts to play her in the film… um yeah right!? I really doubt that the woman formerly dubbed America’s Sweetheart is willing to play the worst mom of the century. Unless, of course, they plan on spending the mulah to make it an entirely ‘green’ film. Then, maybe they’ll talk.
