Shopaholic On Set Pics – March 9 & 11, 2008

First of all, apologies for the recent downtime. I have been moving the site to a new server due to the rapid growth of the contents and popularity. Everything has been checked and I believe we have no errors. However, we’re only human and bound to make a mistake so if you come across anything that isn’t loading, not there, broken links, etc, please let us know and I’ll get it taken care of! Hopefully the site loads smoothly for everyone now.

The lovely Isla Fisher has been busy filming Confessions of a Shopaholic in New York City. I’ve added two new sets of photos of her on the set in a very interesting bridesmaid dress. First she was filmed being a bridesmaid on Suze’s (Krysten Ritter) wedding and then yesterday Hugh Dancy and Isla were pictured filming a kissing scene and bursting in laughter after each take. Very funny! :love: I truly cannot wait to see this movie, I bet it’ll be fun and colorful.

I have also updated most sections of the site with new quotes and trivia bits. :happy:
