I came across pictures from yesterday’s shooting of Confessions of a Shopaholic. Isla was pictured carrying bundled up little Olive around. So cute!

Shopaholic On Set Pics – February 11, 2008
I have added 23 HQs of Isla Fisher on the set of Confessions of a Shopaholic yesterday, February 11, in New York City. She is looking super cute and I adore what she’s wearing!
Edit: More pictures have been added. There’s now 48 files in the album for your viewing pleasure.
More Interviews & Articles
The press archives have been updated with two new Definitely, Maybe related articles:
• Isla Fisher has the last laugh
• Fisher making a name for herself
Speaking of Definitely, Maybe, I had the chance to see it today and it was absolutely charming. Even though I am generally not a big fan of romantic comedies, I really enjoyed this one. It had a lot of heart, delived the laughs and the cast was just wonderful. I may be biased but I especially adored Isla Fisher as April Hoffman. The character was multilayered and Isla made her feel very real. Plus, she had the best lines and her chemistry with Ryan Reynolds was great. This is one of Isla’s best performances – certainly one for all fans to see. :happy:
The Times & OK! (February 2008) Scans
Isla is featured in a couple of British mags at the moment to promote Definitely, Maybe (which opened here yesterday), including today’s edition of The Times Magazine and the February 12 issue of OK!. I’ve scanned both mags for the site. Both are pretty bad paper quality but I tried my best to get around it. I’ve also added the Times article here.
Fisher has put in many years of hard graft to get where she is, and it hasn’t all been plain sailing. She was five when she saw fellow redhead Ann-Margret in an Elvis film and decided that she’d like to be a redhead in an Elvis movie, too. “When you’re younger, being a redhead is… well, my two brothers teased me no end,” she says. “So I was really excited to see a redhead on film. But also my mum was in amateur dramatics and I would go every night and sit in the wings and watch her on stage, so… I saw practically what it was like – the excitement and exhilaration of being on stage, backstage, watching make-up being put on, the costume changes.”
Isla Fisher on Jews and Junior
The Daily Telegraph published a very nice and informative article about Isla today. I think it will appear in tomorrow’s edition of the magazine – so Aussies, keep your eyes peeled for Isla! 😉 Check out full article here.
She has already sold two comedy scripts to major Hollywood studios, has voiced one of the characters for the forthcoming Dr Seuss movie, Horton Hears A Who!, and is due to start filming Confessions Of A Shopaholic (based on Sophie Kinsella’s bestseller), as the lead character, Rebecca Bloomwood.
“Although I’ll be focusing on colouring in books for the next few weeks!
“I don’t want to put the pressure on myself to have to race back to something.”
So, did Fisher ever dream she’d get this far?
“Oh, I always thought I’d be living in Hollywood, in a seven-bedroom house with a massive swimming pool,” she grins.
“It’s just that when I imagined it, I always thought I’d be the maid.”
Ryan Reynolds and Isla Fisher Talk Definitely, Maybe
About.com has published a new Definitely, Maybe related interview with Isla and Ryan Reynolds. Click here to view full article.
Fisher found a lot she could relate to in the character of April. “I related to my character in that she was kind of a nomad who didn’t have a strong sense of her own identity. I felt like that when I was in my early 20s. She’s someone who is also afraid of love, and I definitely was like that when I was younger. But other than that, I thought it was a real departure for me to play this apolitical girl.”
Today Show & Live with Regis and Kelly
Isla Fisher will appear on The Today Show on Monday, February 11, and Live with Regis and Kelly on Thursday, February 14, 2008 to promote Definitely, Maybe. If anyone is able to help us obtain video and/or screencaps of her appearances, please do not hesitate to get in touch! Unfortunately I have no way of recording these myself as I am located in the UK.

First of all, thank you all for the lovely comments regarding the site. We really appreciate it and are glad you’re enjoying the site. :happy:
According to one member at the Confessions of a Shopaholic IMDb board, the movie has begun filming and the cast, including Isla Fisher, will shoot today morning at the Sheraton Stanford, Connecticut. It could be just gossip at the moment but perhaps we’ll get a more official confirmation sometime soon. Here’s to hoping some on set pics will pop up!
Edit: Isla has indeed been spotted on the set of Confessions of a Shopaholic holding baby Olive. We are currently trying to get out hands on the full set. Meanwhile, enjoy the preview of the cuteness! :love: Another IMDb member posted the following:
They were filming near my house yesterday near Dollar Dreams on top of the Rent A Center building. From morning till night. And now they are filming on Hancock at the Nest Arts Factory.
