No sexy roles for Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone is a good actress though it seems that people tend to associate her more with sexy roles than serious ones. This year, she wants to make a few needed changes in that image and vowed to not accept sexy roles again. Ever?

Contact Music has more abt this:

Hollywood beauty SHARON STONE has vowed not to return to the roles in which she made her name - insisting she has ditched her "sexy" image for good. The actress, who only last year (06) starred in the raunchy BASIC INSTINCT 2: RISK ADDICTION, insists she now only focuses on serious roles, after deciding to ignore parts which rely on her looks. She says, "I made a decision when I turned 40 that I wasn't going to lie about my age, and that when I chose my films I'd look for different sorts of parts from those I was used to. And that's what I'm doing. "So many directors in my life have wanted to commercialise me or use me as a commodity - they weren't interested in my acting skills. "These days I'm only interested in using my talent and I won't work for anyone who won't accept that. I don't bring the other stuff any more."

Good decision from Sharon. It is always nice to think about greater things and her realization about the roles she is going to accept in her future movies is her way of showing that she has matured (at last) and is now concerned of her acting career. What worries me though is that Sharon might not be able to cash in some dough with this new picky attitude. After all, she became Sharon Stone because of her sexy roles. I hope she comes out from all this with her career still intact.

Jennifer Hudson wins Golden Globe

This is such a great year for Jennifer Hudson, a former American Idol finalist. After losing to whoever that was in that reality contest, Hudson proved that she was made for something greater. And the recent 64th Golden Globe Awards paved the way for her to make that happen. And rumor has it that she is groomed to receive an Oscar too this year. Whew! Jennifer has arrived and she is about to make more waves in the music industry.

Here’s something from Blogcritics:

It happened guys! Jennifer Hudson won herself a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. Now I just need her to win that damn Oscar! And how many did Miss Overexposed double nominee Beyonce win? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Not even the one she and her daddy were expecting to win, Best Original Song — which went to Prince, a no-show (at the time — he showed up later).

After all that talk of how you lost 20 pounds, worked with an acting coach for six months, how you've always dreamed of an Oscar since you were a little girl, how your first choreographer told you you were meant to play Deena, and how different you and Deena are from each other, you still walked away from the Golden Globes with egg all over your face.


Okay, so the script above is more like a bash against Beyonce who was, I suppose, quite confident that she will make it. Poor girl, she was forced to pretend that she was happy and all for Jennifer for winning the award. Well, who could blame her? She is Beyonce, for crying out loud.

Paula Abdul has never been drunk?

Yes. Paula said so herself. Reality Blurred has this to say:

She tells Entertainment Weekly that she was not, in fact, intoxicated. Instead, it was simple misunderstanding. “Last year, when no one understood what I was saying, and even though I’ve never been drunk in my life, I’m accused of filling my Coca-Cola cup with alcohol. Yeah, that was really fun for me,” she said.

Well, I don't know Paula that much but this claim is just hard to believe.

I would leave the bashing to Dlisted!

Let’s assume she’s telling the truth, then homegirl has a major problem with the pills. Because that was not a sober individual on AI last season. Maybe she’s getting high from the hairspray fumes or from Simon Cowell’s pec sweat…but she was definitely not sober.
