Posted on Categories "Confessions of a Shopaholic", Gallery Updates, Public Events No Comments on Isla at Jerry Bruckheimer’s Walk Of Fame Star Ceremony

On Monday Isla made a low key appearance at the ceremony to unveil famed Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Bruckheimer produced Confessions Of A Shopaholic, and Isla voiced her praise for him whilst promoting the movie, and also revealed that he hired her a trainer to help her get back into shape after the birth of her first daughter. Isla looked cute at the event in a little black top and a beige skirt. We have HQ photos for you in the Gallery, most of which are thanks to our lovely friend DeA:

Isla on Daybreak and This Morning in the UK

Posted on Categories "Now You See Me", "The Great Gatsby", Gallery Updates, Public Events, Videos No Comments on Isla on Daybreak and This Morning in the UK

Whilst in London to promote Now You See Me, Isla appeared on talk shows This Morning and Daybreak. She went solo on This Morning, and talked about Now You See Me, the stunts in that movie and her co-stars, and also about The Great Gatsby. She also explained the rumour about her and Sacha complaining about Leonardo DiCaprio’s noisy party at Cannes – they did crash the party and pretended to complain, but it was a joke – and Isla let slip a (slightly) naughty word when recounting the story, which she was very apologetic about! Over on This Morning she was accompanied by Jesse Eisenberg, and they chatted about similar things, plus their careers. Isla looked pretty in an outfit from Australian fashion label Lover.

And we have all the coverage for you! To start with, screencaptures and stills from both shows are in the Gallery, and I’ve also uploaded both interviews for you in our Video section. Links to everything are below…..

Isla & Sacha at the AFI Life Achievement Award Honoring Mel Brooks

Posted on Categories Gallery Updates, Personal, Public Events No Comments on Isla & Sacha at the AFI Life Achievement Award Honoring Mel Brooks

Earlier this month Isla popped up at the AFI Life Achievement Award Honoring actor/director/screenwriter/producer Mel Brooks. She was accompanied by her husband, and the couple smiled for cameras during the event. Even more exciting than that though (for me), was seeing Isla and Sacha with Martin Scorsese – what a picture!! Sacha previously worked with Scorsese on Hugo, and I hope that Isla too will have the chance to work with the director someday (soon). Isla was also snapped with writer/director Judd Apatow, and actor Cary Elwes. Style-wise, Miss Fisher opted for a sparkly black dress and blazer for the event. Check out the HQ pics in our Gallery.

I will catch up on missing Gatsby/Now You See Me interviews/videos/etc. asap in the coming weeks.

Isla Fisher: I battled shyness

Isla Fisher: I battled shyness

Isla Fisher learned to laugh at herself to help her make friends when she was younger.

The redheaded star is known for playing loveable characters in romantic comedies such as Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic.

Off screen she is also famed for her wicked sense of humour, but Isla admits she hasn’t always been so bubbly.

“I went to something like six different schools before the age of 12, so I was always the new girl and had to make friends quickly,” she recalled to the UK edition of Cosmopolitan.

“It was difficult at the start because I was very bookish – I was literally sat in the corner reading books, with no friends. So I learnt to be funny and to take the p**s out of myself in order to ingratiate myself. I think it’s one of the best skills in life.”

Isla began her career on TV soap Home and Away and landed her first big movie role in 2002’s Scooby-Doo.

Now starring in movies such as Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, the 37-year-old is a firm believer in fate.

“I’ve had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general I’ve found that when it comes to getting jobs, what’s meant for you can’t pass you by,” she explained.

“I’ve tried to follow that philosophy because otherwise you can drive yourself crazy when you’re out there presenting yourself and you get so much rejection.”

Isla brightens up the cover of the July issue of UK Cosmopolitan magazine, with another brand new photoshoot and interview! Check out quotes from the interview and a behind the scenes video below, and find scans from the spread in our Gallery. Needless to say, Isla looks fantastic in the photos, and it is once again great to see her on the cover of a big magazine!



Pick up a copy of Cosmopolitan now.

Cosmo also have an article about how to get Isla’s hair here.

Isla Fisher opens up to Cosmo!

Star of The Great Gatsby, and Now You See Me, Isla Fisher is the perfect Cosmo cover star! In the July issue she reveals all about the rejection she experienced at the start of her career, and how she overcame it.

You’d think having a famous husband like Sacha Baron Cohen, you’d be sorted in Hollywood. But apparently not! Isla revealed exclusively to Cosmo: “I really have had no help. In fact, the one time I did ask for help was after my agent in LA fired me. I was auditioning for all sorts of things but kept getting told ‘no’, so she just fired me! So anyway, I said to Sacha, who was my boyfriend at the time, ‘Can you ask your agent if they’ll represent me?’ And his agent said, ‘No way.’ It was the only favour I’d ever asked, and I was like, ‘OK… great’. But it spurred me on.”

Looking at Isla now – especially in this month’s Cosmo – you’d never realise she was once a wallflower. Speaking about her childhood, she said: “I went to something like six different schools before the age of 12, so I was always the new girl and had to make friends quickly. It was difficult at the start because I was very bookish – I was literally sat in the corner reading books, with no friends. So I learnt to be funny and to take the piss out of myself in order to ingratiate myself. I think it’s one of the best skills in life.”
