Eric Picks a Candidate

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Eric Mabius has joined in with the likes of America Ferrera, Ana Ortiz and Tony Plana to take a stand in the current presidential race. While Ana and Tony have been taken part in nonpartisan group to encourage minority voting America has been campaigning heavily for Hillary Clinton.

Eric on the other hand is featured in the music video We Are The Ones by Black Eyed Peas front man Will.i.am in support of Barack Obama. Some of the other celebrities featured include: George Lopez, Jessica Alba, Regina King, Macy Gray, Kerry Washington, John Leguizamo, Tichina Arnold and Ryan Phillippe.

Vanessa Williams in a recent interview stated support for both Democratic candidates but didn’t seem interested in making a public statement of support for either. I wonder what side the rest of the Ugly Betty cast will take?

Worrying that mothers and daughters always have conflict between them but now is happy that she had a girl. “…I’m in a state of innocence where I love everything she does. If she does a poop and I have to change the diaper, I even love that moment!”

She also stated that she doesn’t really feel a need for marriage, though some people need a commitment her and Francois-Henri Pinault might just throw a huge party instead to celebrate their family. Even more interesting Salma shared that she and Valentina live in Los Angeles but Francois still lives in Paris.

Vanessa dishes Botox

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

“I certainly do Botox, which I definitely think that almost every woman that I know has [done],” she said. “And it’s a miracle drug, no cutting, nothing –and I love it. But I also want to act too … so I don’t do it to freeze my face,”

Vanessa Williams

Vanessa Williams admitted to Barbara Walters that she uses Botox during her interview. Kudos to Vanessa for being bold enough to admit she uses Botox. Their are a lot of Hollywood stars that should be so upfront. The annual Oscar edition of The Barbara Walters Special also interviewed Harrison Ford, Miley Cyrus and Juno Academy Award nominee Ellen Page. During her interview Vanessa also discussed her surprise that Barbara even called her since she’s been working in the industry for over 20 years and how Ugly Betty has helped reinvigorate her career. Vanessa also discussed the fact the she misses being in a relationship and shared her experiences with racism while growing up.

The Sisterhood is Back Together Again!

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 movie trailer is now available. All of the main characters have reprised their roles, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel. The story is set 3 years in the future from where the original Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants film ended.

The girls are in college, dating and face more adult problems complicated by their busy lives which keep them apart. The plot is based mostly on the fourth book from the series, Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer of the Sisterhood. The film is expected to be released on August 8 and due to its more adult storyline carries a PG-13 rating. The books series is written by Ann Bashares and would be a great gift for the teen in your life.

Since the original Sisterhood film aired, America has gone on to play the critically acclaimed and award winning character of Betty from Ugly Betty. Blake Lively stars in the popular CW teen drama Gossip Girl, also based on a series of books. America and Amber are both currently campaigning for Hillary Clinton for president and Alexis Bledel starred in Gilmore Girls which just ended a seven year run last TV season.
