Courtesy of InStyle.co.uk I have added the article and HQ photoshoot of Miss Fisher’s InStyle Feb. cover feature. The article is brief but sweet and funny, well worth the read. And the shoot is just gorgeous! Check back as scans will come soon too.

“At the Golden Globes last year, I wore this beautiful midnight blue Hervé Léger dress with a fitted bodice and a huge skirt – it was incredible, like a princess meets a slut,” she says. “But someone stepped on my train and ripped the back. There’s a classic shot where I’m smiling really serenely over my shoulder, but my tush is totally exposed! The Sun called me ‘Isla Flasher’, but what can you do?”

“I think there’s nothing sexier than a handlebar moustache. We have a spare one at home – and I wear it.”

“I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life – it’s pretty hard to wipe the smile from my face.”

Yesterday I asked for Shopaholic stills… And today we’ve got ‘em!

Check out the first seven stills from the movie and an interesting article from USA Today regarding the movie right below.

“I literally jumped up and down when I heard about the movie. I would have been the first one in the cinema even if I weren’t involved. I can’t tell you the number of women who have told me, ‘I am Becky Bloomwood.’ She is humble, sweet, optimistic and gets really excited about things.”

Confessions of a Shopaholic appears to be a breezy romp through Manhattan’s high-end store aisles as its first theatrical trailer premieres Friday, before showings of Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

Especially with accident-prone Becky Bloomwood, the insolvent heroine of Sophie Kinsella’s best-selling chick-lit series, leading the “charge-it!” charge.

But when the comedy opens Feb. 13, with Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers) as the irrepressible spendthrift, it could also serve as a cautionary tale, given that the dreary economic climate isn’t about to brighten soon.

“The consumerism in the movie kind of puts it out there,” says producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who’s taking a break from such manly fare as the Pirates of the Caribbean films for more pink-hued pursuits. “Credit companies gladly will send you a number of cards, you get into debt, and then they come after you.”

Here’s photos from the set of Shopaholic on May 4. Right now Isla filming in Miami Beach, Florida and she has her cute little Olive with her.

I’ve added four new articles/interviews with our lovely redhead, which include some quotes about co-star Ryan Reynolds, and how much Isla liked to work with him. She also talks about her family in one of the article and tells us that she likes bands like Oasis and Nirvana! One of the article contained a new photoshoot picture so click on the thumbnail next to here to view it :blush:

• Isla Fisher’s Definite rise to success
• Funny girl
• Isla Fisher’s latest a labour of love
• Isla Fisher Falls For Ryan

Some fun quotes:

“Everybody is in love with Ryan Reynolds,” Isla Fisher told me. “I just think if you open the dictionary and look up the world ‘smoldering,’ you should see his name. He’s gorgeous.”

“And also being kind of little and having red hair, you get teased a lot, and making jokes is a way to turn it around. I don’t mind making a fool of myself: let’s just put it that way!”

“I still write. I’d love to write more trashy chick-lit. At the moment I just rewrite my own lines, which probably annoys most directors – though, thankfully not Adam Brooks!”

Check out these two new features on Miss Fisher, from ComingSoon.net and USA Today:

• Isla Fisher on Definitely, Maybe
• ‘Maybe’ star Isla Fisher is a new mom, but definitely don’t ask!

Both are great reads, especially USA Today. Isla talks about Hollywood’s body fascism, her love for Juno and privacy. It seems that every single article pays special emphasis on Isla’s decision not to talk about Olive and sort of portrays her like she was being rude about it. I, for one, definitely respect her decision to not discuss her baby and private life in the press.

“I’m choosy, definitely,” Fisher says. “I’ve made a lot of product in my life that I’m not proud of. I’ve had to work. Now that I’m fortunate enough to get to choose, I’m fussy. Now, I don’t have to make decisions as much from fear. It’s given me freedom.”

Last but not least, check out this stunning image from the USA Today article on your left.

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:

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.”

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.”

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.”
