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).

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.
Sitting in a plush suite inside New York’s Ritz Carlton and wearing impossibly high Jimmy Choo shoes, 32-year-old Fisher looks every bit as young as she did playing troubled teen Shannon Reed on TV soap Home And Away in the late 1990s.

From Summer Bay to New York City, Isla Fisher has moved on a bit … but what about her dress sense?
Isla Fisher throws her head back and cackles uproariously. Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer, sitting next to her, has just said something mildly amusing that has clearly tickled her. But this isn’t a one-off. Laughing heartily is something that Isla does throughout the 30 minutes
I am in her company; she lets rip at the merest sniff of a light-hearted comment.

The Confessions of a Shopaholic star talks about life after Wedding Crashers, comedy, nudity, living with Borat, and “dry humping the furniture.”
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. The next thing I know, [Shopaholic producer] Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to meet with me. I was six months pregnant [Fisher and her comedian fiancee, Sacha Baron Cohen, have a young daughter] and had already gained about 50 pounds. I could barely walk. 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.

Are you a shopaholic?
No, not at all. I can safely say I am not a fashionista. I see something in the shop and bring it home and it looks terrible. What’s my weakness? I always buy hair bands and then lose them and later find them all around the house in random places.

We’re being hit left and right with lovely Isla articles lately, and today being no different!
OC Register has an article about Isla. In this interview, Fisher discusses the public’s confusion with Amy Adams, what she thought of the notorious nude wrestling scene in the Borat movie and how she reconciles portraying an irresponsible spendthrift during a worldwide economic crisis. There was also a new portrait session (taken at the Shopaholic press conference). Isla looks stunning!
“Not that I wanted to be Meryl Streep, but I definitely admired her. But that wasn’t why I wanted to be a dramatic actress. It was more that I believed that to have a job meant that you had to work at something that you didn’t really enjoy. Since I didn’t really enjoy drama, I therefore thought that I was doing a proper job. I was forcing myself to do something that didn’t seem natural.” – Isla Fisher

 How do you make a superficial spendthrift likable? The star of Confessions of a Shopaholic says she focused on keeping it real.
Isla Fisher, who stars in Confessions of a Shopaholic, has a secret of her own: It was all method acting.
“I’m not anti-shopping, but I shop rarely and poorly,” says the actress, who’s been handed the Herculean task of making a hero out of a woman who can’t say “no” to a splurge while in real life the economy is imploding.
