Isla at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party

As I had hoped, Isla attended the Oscars in Hollywood last night, to support her husband’s movie again! Isla was seen backstage at the main event, and then walked the red carpet of the big Vanity Fair After Party. Isla wowed in a cobalt blue dress by Monique Lhuillier, with jewellry from David Webb. After walking the red carpet of the party, Isla enjoyed the fun inside with Sacha, and pals Naomi Watts, Reese Witherspoon & Jennifer Aniston. Thanks to my friend Jen I’ve been able to add a ton of gorgeous HQ photos from the night to our Gallery, so go have a browse of Isla at Hollywood’s big party…

Superfood for Babies: Breastfeeding Report

All women deserve the support they need to breastfeed, if they choose to. Breastfeeding has important benefits for moms and babies everywhere, and can literally save lives in the developing world. Save the Children’s new report, Superfood for Babies, estimates that 830,000 babies could be saved if all women breastfed in the first hour of life. Exclusive breastfeeding for six months could save even more lives. Yet, the report explains, moms face four significant barriers to successful breastfeeding. They are cultural and community pressures, the health worker shortage, lack of maternity legislation, and inappropriate marketing of breast-milk substitutes. Read the press release.

Isla Fisher Makes Raunchy Joke About Giving Birth to Huge Baby at Golden Globes

Isla Fisher Makes Raunchy Joke About Giving Birth to Huge Baby at Golden Globes

Even high heels won’t make up for this height difference! Isla Fisher engaged in some girl talk with fellow Hollywood stars Connie Britton, Julianna Margulies and Carla Gugino at the Golden Globes Sunday night, and conversation eventually turned to baby talk.

“My husband is 6’4″,” the petite Bachelorette actress informed the rest of the ladies while in line for the restroom. “It was nine pounds coming out of my vagina.”

Fisher is married to funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen, and the couple have two daughters together — Olive, 5, and Elula, 2.

Margulies, 46, couldn’t help cracking up at the actress’ quip, an onlooker tells Us Weekly.

Isla to promote “Rise Of The Guardians” in London this Thursday

Isla and her Rise Of The Guardians co-star Chris Pine are scheduled to attend a press junket and premiere for their new movie in London this Thursday. The premiere will be held at Empire Leicester Square. I can’t wait to see her out and about promoting the movie here, and be sure I will bring you as much coverage as I can possibly find right here 🙂

Isla on the cover of Women’s Health magazine!

Great news Isla fans, Miss Fisher graces the cover of the new Winter issue of Women’s Health magazine! I can’t be 100% sure, but I think this is the UK edition. Isla looks fantastic in the new photoshoot, and alongside it is a new interview in which Isla touches on several subjects, including her husband, her body, and her Aussie pals. It’s so exciting to see Isla on the cover of a big magazine again, especially one as different and interesting as Women’s Health!

Below are some released quotes from the interview, and you can see the cover and first two photoshoot pictures in our gallery. I will have scans for you asap.

The magazine hits UK (?) news-stands on Wednesday.



• “After doing that [Wedding Crashers], I had 12 months where I was auditioning three times a day and I didn’t get a single job. That was a real low point. But with hindsight, those movies turned out to be awful, so I dodged a bullet. If I’d got any of them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

• “I never had the chutzpah to just come to LA and make it. I didn’t have that confidence. I’m always surprised when I get a job. I never saw this in my horizon.”

• “I do watch my food. But I’ve been blessed in that I never had any body issues during pregnancy. I loved being able to eat whatever I wanted and the whole experience of giving life. And I never worried about losing the weight afterwards, because breastfeeding burns all the calories up so fast. Breastfeeding – that’s my big slimming secret! That and Spanx. Anytime anyone compliments me on my figure, I’m wearing my Spanx undies.”

• “I’m not actually very good at the maintenance thing. I don’t buff, exfoliate, pluck, rinse, moisturise, suck, bleach, whatever all those women do. I don’t have vajacials. Have you heard of those? It’s like a spa for your vagina!”

(On her fellow Aussie stars) “We can all do the accent really easily. And we all look great in a bikini. Including Russell Crowe – no one pulls off a bikini like Russell. I am sort of friends with them all. I just did a movie with Hugh Jackman [Rise Of The Guardians], and I catch up with Naomi [Watts] whenever I’m in New York.”

(On converting to Judaism) “It takes a couple of years of studying. I’ve always been really into family and food, so culturally it was the right fit for me.”

(On Rango co-stars Johnny Depp and Bill Nighy) “He’s like a magical creature – incredibly funny, clever and nice. It’s sort of as if he’s come from another planet. And Bill Nighy is very warm, gregarious and very talented. He played the snake in Rango and was hilarious on set.”

Bachelorette Stars Weigh In On Prince Harry: We’d Like To Party With Him!

The palace may not be pleased with Prince Harry’s recent Las Vegas antics, but images of the nearly naked Royal have earned the Prince a few new fans – “Bachelorette” stars Isla Fisher, Kirsten Dunst and Rebel Wilson.

Access Hollywood caught up with the stars at the premiere of their new comedy in Los Angeles on Thursday to find out if they think the Prince would make a good bachelorette party guest.

“If his butterfly breaststroke hybrid was anything to go by, then yes,” Isla told Access, referencing the Prince’s Sin City weekend pool race with Olympian Ryan Lochte. “I think it’s a pretty funny bit of footage.

“I mean, I wouldn’t want to be in the palace right now,” she added with a laugh. “I’m sure the Queen’s not exactly jumping for joy.”

“Bridesmaids” alum Rebel Wilson admitted she too would enjoy a little Royal blood at her festivities.

“If Prince Harry wanted to strip at my bachelorette party I would allow it,” the hilarious actress told Access. “I mean, I wouldn’t be like, ‘Oh, no.’ I’d be like, ‘Yes!’”

Kirsten told Access the Prince would “definitely, definitely” be fun to party with, but said his naked party photos weren’t exactly shocking.

“[Prince Harry] knew how to party since he was a little kid. Come on,” she said. “He was always that [way], I mean, whatever. He’s having fun, he’s a young guy, big whoop!”

Catch Isla, Rebel and Kirsten in “Bachelorette” — available on video-on-demand now before it hits theaters in select cities on September 7.

Isla cut from Dictator

Isla Fisher has revealed she had a role in her husband Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie but it didn’t make the final cut.

The Perth-raised actress, who is in Cannes to promote her latest film, the DreamWorks animation Rise of the Guardians, was meant to play a Russian prostitute in Cohen’s comedy The Dictator. However, as often happens to the best of actors, footage of the 36-year-old funny girl ended up on the cutting room floor.

“And (Sacha) still expected me to do press for the movie,’ Fisher jokes.

“No really, it didn’t work for the movie. I have been through a thousand edits and I have no ego when it comes to this stuff.”

Fisher recalls the last time she was in Cannes when her husband strutted on to the beach in a mankini to promote his film Borat.

“I am happier to see him on a camel,” she says, referring to Cohen’s publicity stunt last week when he chose an unusual animal to take for a morning stroll.

It was one of a number of stunts Cohen has pulled while promoting his new movie around the world, including during his visit to Australia earlier this month.

New interview with the BBC: Sacha Baron Cohen’s wife admits it’s not a normal life

Sacha Baron Cohen’s wife admits it’s not a normal life

The wife of Sacha Baron Cohen says she doesn’t live a “normal” life with The Dictator actor.

Actress Isla Fisher married him in 2010 and although she admits “it’s not a normal life to lead,” she does love it.

Fisher says: “Obviously it’s not pleasant to say to your husband – instead of ‘Did you pick up the dry cleaning?’ or ‘Did you pick up someone from a play date?’ – ‘Oh wow are we getting sued? Has anyone put a death threat on us?'”

The couple have two young daughters and in 2009 it was reported that Baron Cohen had received death threats due to controversy over his gay fashionista character Bruno.

With that in mind, and being the person closest to him, does Isla Fisher ever feel she can censor the words that come out of Sacha Baron Cohen’s creations?

“Oh, of course,” Fisher reveals. “There’s a lot of, ‘Oh my gosh, no you cannot say that! We’re friends with that person, blah, blah, blah, no!'”
