Sarah Shahi

Playing a lesbian on “The L Word” for a year spiked her sex appeal, but it wasn’t till she joined NBC’s “Life” that her acting skills took center stage. Relatively desexualized and increasingly angered by her partner’s philosophical dribble, her character Dani is always on the verge of snapping…but in an extremely comical way. You honestly don’t know if you should laugh or hide behind the couch. Funniest line of the season: “You mention that butterfly and I’m going to find it and rip its wings off.”

In 2011, Kate headlined in the miniseries Mildred Pierce, directed by Todd Haynes. Co-starring Guy Pearce and Evan Rachel Wood, she portrayed a self-sacrificing mother during the Great Depression who finds herself separated from her husband and falling in love with a new man, all the while trying to earn her narcissistic daughter’s love and respect.
The five-part series earned generally favourable reviews, roadcast to moderate ratings.
Winslet won an Emmy Award for her performance.

In 2011, Winslet appeared in Steven Soderbergh’s disaster film Contagion, featuring an ensemble cast consisting of Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law. The thriller follows the rapid progress of a lethal indirect contact transmission virus that kills within days. Winslet portrayed an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer who becomes infected with the disease over the course of her investigation.

Winslet’s other 2011 project, Roman Polanski’s Carnage, premiered at the 68th Venice Film Festival. An adaptation of the play God of Carnage by French playwright Yasmina Reza, the black comedy follows two sets of parents who meet up to talk after their children have been in a fight that day at school. Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz co-star.

In June 2011, it was announced that Winslet has been cast alongside Josh Brolin in Jason Reitman’s adaptation of Joyce Maynard’s 2009 novel Labor Day.

OSCARS 2009
Kate Winslet has won best actress category for her role as a concentration camp guard in The Reader at the 81st annual Academy Awards on Sunday.
Winslet accepted the best actress award for her role in The Reader as a German woman with a secret Nazi past. It was her first Oscar, and she was obviously overwhelmed.

She won the Golden Globe award in two categories: best dramatic actress for Revolutionary Road and best supporting actress for The Reader. In her acceptance speech Winslet paid tribute to her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio and to her husband Sam Mendes, who directed the film Revolutionary Road.

Kate Winslet is probably best-known for her critically acclaimed performances as Juliet Hulme in Heavenly Creatures (1994), Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility (1995), Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic (1997), Iris Murdoch in Iris (2001), Clementine Kruczynski in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Sarah Pierce in Little Children (2006), Hanna Schmitz in The Reader (2008), and April Wheeler in Revolutionary Road (2008)

Born 5 October 1975 she is an English actress and singer.

She has received the Screen Actors Guild Award, two BAFTA Awards, the Grammy Award, and two Golden Globe Awards and has been nominated for five Academy Awards, seven Golden Globes and an Emmy. At the age of 22, she broke the record for the youngest person to receive two Oscar nominations, and each of her subsequent nominations has broken a further record: the youngest person to receive three, four, and five nominations. David Edelstein of New York Magazine hails Winslet as “the best English-speaking film actress of her generation”.

Latest event in her personal life

On 22 November 1998, Winslet married director Jim Threapleton. The two have a daughter, Mia Honey, who was born on 12 October 2000.

After a divorce in 2001, Winslet began a relationship with Sam Mendes, whom she married on 24 May 2003 on the island of Anguilla in the Caribbean. Their son, Joe Alfie Mendes, was born on 22 December 2003. On the Tonight Show on 15 December 2008 Kate said that Joe Alfie currently prefers to be called Travier.

Kate Winslet

Winslet and her husband Mendes currently reside in New York City. They also own a manor house in the tiny village of Church Westcote in Gloucestershire, England. Winslet and Mendes spent £3 million on the secluded Westcote Manor, a rambling Grade II-listed house with eight bedrooms, set in 22 acres.

What did she and what is she doing:

Winslet’s career began on television, with a co-starring role in the BBC children’s science fiction serial Dark Season in 1991. Winslet became famous worldwide after the 1997 release of Titanic, a massive hit which holds the record as highest-grossing film in history at more than US$1.8 billion in box-office worldwide. It went on to win 11 Academy Awards. In 2005, Winslet appeared in a television commercial for American Express. As part of the “My Life, My Card” campaign, the ad shows Winslet strolling around Camden Lock, in London, as she makes references to all the events that have happened to her film characters: going to prison for murder (Heavenly Creatures), being penniless and heartbroken (Sense and Sensibility), almost drowning (Titanic), losing her mind (Hamlet), having her memory erased (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), and being in Neverland (Finding Neverland).

In March 2007, Leonardo DiCaprio signed to co-star in Revolutionary Road with Winslet as Frank and April Wheeler, a 1950s couple who appear content on the surface but are withering internally. The film will be the first to reunite the notable duo, who have remained close since their first pairing in Titanic.

There are also talks that Winslet’s husband, Sam Mendes and his production company, Neal Street Productions, purchased the film rights to the long-delayed biography of circus tiger tamer Mabel Stark. Winslet has stated that she has been eager to portray this complex woman for three years now and is looking forward to working with her husband on bringing this to the screen.

In 2011, Winslet received the Yo Dona award for Best Humanitarian Work for her work with the Golden Hat.

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince

The pair looked like the picture of perfection, as the British beauty sported a sexy ‘and short black dress, while her hubby-to-be wore a gray blazer and black pants.

Supermodel Kate Moss and rocker, Jamie Hince tied the knot in breathtaking idyllic Costwolds, England on Friday, looking like quite the chic couple, Moss wore a vintage John Galliano gown and blue-soled Manolo Blahniks and Hince looked dapper in a robin’s egg blue suit.

Beeing husband and wife now – good luck to the married couple and their future together.

They took off on Sir Philip Green’s yacht after the wedding and were supposed to be sailing around the Mediterranean for two weeks but came back early, perhaps because of an earthquake in Corsica.

Cameron Diaz Bad Teacher Berlin Premiere

She also was a guest on the German talk show Wetten, dass..?, the summer special filmed on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Held at Coliseo Balear, stars including Jennifer Lopez and Heidi Klum took part in the fun-filled German ZDF TV show taping session. As for Cameron and Heidi’s visits, Miss Diaz has been traversing through Europe to promote her new movie “Bad Teacher” while Miss Klum hails from Germany and has made numerous previous appearances on the popular variety show.

Cameron Michelle Diaz (born in 1972) is an American actress and former model. She became famous during the 1990s with roles in the movies The Mask, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and There’s Something About Mary. Other high-profile movie credits include the two Charlie’s Angels movies and voicing the character Princess Fiona for the Shrek series. Diaz received Golden Globe award nominations for her performances in the movies There’s Something About Mary, Being John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky, and Gangs of New York.

She modeled for designers such as Calvin Klein and Levi’s. When she was seventeen years old she was featured on the front cover of the July 1990 issue of the magazine Seventeen.

At age 21, Diaz auditioned for the movie The Mask, even though she had no previous acting experience, based on the recommendation of an agent for Elite who met the film’s producers while they were searching for the female main actress. After obtaining the main female role, she immediately started acting lessons. The Mask became one of the top ten highest grossing films of 1994, and earned Diaz nominations for several awards.

During the next three years, she had roles in low-budget independent films, such as The Last Supper (1995), Feeling Minnesota (1996), She’s the One (1996), Keys to Tulsa (1996), and A Life Less Ordinary (1997), preferring to feel her way effectively into the business. She was scheduled to feature in the film Mortal Kombat, but had to resign after breaking her hand while training for the role.

She returned to mainstream films with the major movie successes My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997) and There’s Something About Mary (1998), for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for the category of Best Actress — Musical or Comedy. She received critical acclaim for her performance in Being John Malkovich (1999), which earned her Best Supporting Actress nominations at the Golden Globe Award, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards). During 1990–2000, Diaz featured in many movies, such as Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, Very Bad Things, Any Given Sunday, and the successful adaptation of Charlie’s Angels. During 2001, she won nominations for Best Supporting Actress for the Golden Globe Awards, the SAG Awards, the Critics’ Choice Awards, and the American Film Institute Awards for Vanilla Sky, and also voiced Princess Fiona in the movie Shrek, for which she earned $10 million.

During 2003, Diaz received another Golden Globe nomination for Martin Scorsese’s epic Gangs of New York, and became the third actress (after Wedding costar Julia Roberts) to earn $20 million for a role, receiving the sum for Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Her next movies were In Her Shoes (2005), and The Holiday (2006). She was preparing to work again with The Mask co-star Jim Carrey for the film Fun with Dick and Jane, but resigned to feature in In Her Shoes. Diaz reportedly earned $50 million during the period of a year ending June 2008, for her roles in What Happens in Vegas opposite Ashton Kutcher, and the Shrek sequels. In 2009, she starred in My Sister’s Keeper and The Box.

During 2010, Forbes Magazine ranked Cameron Diaz as the richest Hispanic female celebrity, ranking number 60 among the wealthiest 100. Also that year, Diaz was cast as the female lead in a live action/animation hybrid film version of The Smurfs, and as well as voicing Princess Fiona for the movie Shrek Forever After, also reunited with her Vanilla Sky co-star Tom Cruise in the action/comedy Knight and Day, and on the 14 January, she played “Lenore Case”, the journalist in the remake of the 1940′s film, The Green Hornet. She was listed among CEOWORLD magazine’s Top Accomplished Women Entertainers.

Now the 38-year-old is starring in Bad Teacher, quaffing liquor, dropping F-bombs and giving the degenerates of The Hangover a run for their debauchery, at a time when the tides of taste appears to have turned.

Case in point: The sleeper hit Bridesmaids, a female-driven “anti-chick flick” that grossed more than $100 million in its first month of release. Bad Teacher’s fortunes may reveal whether Bridesmaids is a fluke or if the glass ceiling has truly been shattered.

“Women have always behaved badly. I think probably worse than men. Maybe men just don’t have the stomach for it. They don’t want to see it on film because they just can’t take it,” Diaz says. “Any of my guy friends, when I tell them what women really talk about, they don’t want to hear it. But maybe it’s time ” People are willing to laugh at those things.”

Opening Friday, Bad Teacher stars Diaz as Elizabeth Halsey, a foul-mouthed, hard-drinking public school educator desperate to get breast implants so she can sink her claws into some unwitting sugar daddy.

Mel is one of the most hated men in Hollywood these days, thanks to recordings of drunken violent rants and his reputation as a woman beater, but Mel Gibson has an ally in Jodie Foster.

Jodie Foster The Beaver Mel Gibson

The “Silence of the Lambs” actress seems to be able to look past all of Gibson’s faults to see what she calls a brilliant man, a beautiful talent, and a loyal, loyal friend.

Foster told press, “From the moment I met him, there was such a connection that I knew we would be friends for the rest of my life.”

Jodie directed and costarred with Mel in “The Beaver.” We work exactly in the same wayt. We’ve had so many conversations about the topics the film explores.

Gibson’s personal struggles were the very reason Jodie cast him in the role. “I knew he could relate so much to Walter’s struggles that there was no way he would play it as a comedy. That Mel’s character be dramatically consumed in this internal struggle was very important to me.”

Wikipedia says: Storage Wars has been renewed for a second season and is currently filming a twenty episode season. Bob DeBitetto, President and General Manager of A&E and BIO Channel, stated, “Storage Wars has garnered critical acclaim and has risen above the competition. Premium storytelling and amazing characters have set our show apart.”

Brandi Passante in Storage Wars

In alphabetical order, the buyers are:

• Dave Hester, “the mogul”, owner of a large thrift store, with a number of employees, and the best financed of the group. Hester sometimes drives up the bidding just to assert his dominance.
• Darrell Sheets, “the gambler”, and his son Brandon. Darrell occasionally clashes with Dave Hester.
• Jarrod Schulz, “the young gun”, and his wife Brandi. They run their own thrift shop, and have the least in the way of financial resources.
• Barry Weiss, “the collector”. The oldest of the bunch, he is more interested in finding unusual items to keep.

Brandi Schulz is a very smart and beautiful lady. Its great that she is on Storage wars. She totally makes the show worth watching and should have her own show!
