From Summer Bay to New York City – The Isla Fisher interview

From Summer Bay to New York City, Isla Fisher has moved on a bit … but what about her dress sense?

Isla Fisher throws her head back and cackles uproariously. Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, sitting next to her, has just said something mildly amusing that has clearly tickled her. But this isn’t a one-off. Laughing heartily is something that Isla does throughout the 30 minutes

I am in her company; she lets rip at the merest sniff of a light-hearted comment.

EW Interview

The Confessions of a Shopaholic star talks about life after Wedding Crashers, comedy, nudity, living with Borat, and “dry humping the furniture.”

EW: Your character in Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca Bloomwood, is a plum role. How did you get cast in the film?
Isla Fisher: I was a huge fan of the books and I was sent the script –- I think it was an early draft — but I didn’t really think about it again. The next thing I know, [Shopaholic producer] Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to meet with me. I was six months pregnant [Fisher and her comedian fiancee, Sacha Baron Cohen, have a young daughter] and had already gained about 50 pounds. I could barely walk.

Are you a shopaholic?
No, not at all. I can safely say I am not a fashionista. I see something in the shop and bring it home and it looks terrible. What’s my weakness? I always buy hair bands and then lose them and later find them all around the house in random places.

Shopaholic Footage Caps Galore

Now that I’ve seen the movie, I have made screencaptures of all the online clips, trailers, tv spots and featurettes from Confessions of a Shopaholic. If you haven’t seen the movie and wish to avoid spoilers naturally be cautious upon viewing. People who already have might notice there are several missing scenes. I certainly hope these will make the DVD!



Shopaholic UK Premiere

Isla attended the UK premiere of Confessions of a Shopaholic on Monday. She wore short black Jasmine Di Milo dress with sequins and a low back. Fisher accessories with a gold clutch by Lara Bohinc and chic Jimmy Choo Seattle strappy sandals. She looked incredibly beautiful as always!

Speaking of the movie. I managed to catch it myself this past weekend and really enjoyed it. It’s a really delightful movie. And of course, what can you not love about Miss Isla? She is so hilarious, a genuinely funny comedienne you root for all the way. Isla’s commitment to the character and her willingness to make a total fool of her self is why you love Rebecca so much. A must see for any Isla fans!

Confessions of a Shopaholic is now playing in North America and opens in the UK on Friday, Feb. 20.
