Isla Fisher may play a Shopaholic but she insists she’s just a casual shopper in real life.
Isla Fisher to say she can think of nothing worse than shopping is surprising, considering she plays a shopping addict in Confessions of a Shopaholic. The romantic comedy, based on British author Sophie Kinsella’s best-seller, is directed by P.J. Hogan (My Best Friend’s Wedding).
I wanted to let all of our loyal visitors know that this site will likely not be updated a whole lot until the end of April. I am going to be traveling and my internet access will be very minimal. But I will try and update the site as much as I can, if possible. Also this regards e-mail replies and comments approval. If the hiatus will last longer than a month, I will be sure to update on it again. But rest assured, I will update as soon as I can!
Meanwhile, check out here for the latest news and here for the newest images.
A couple of international magazine pieces have been added to the gallery. Thanks to Kelly and Mirik for scanning them.
And lately her image is plastered across buses and billboards all over the US.
“How am I on a poster?” she wonders when she spots them. And then reminds herself that someone has given her a movie.
“It’s a little unnerving,” she explains.

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

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

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.

I waddled into the meeting and we spoke a little bit about the character. And I pitched a lot of jokes, which ended up being in the movie. Normally, you pitch ideas and people go, ‘Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,’ and your ideas stay in the movie but somebody else gets the job. But Jerry picked me.
