I've been looking ahead to what we could read together in our
PopUK Book Club. Several film adaptations are coming up, so I've selected a range of such titles as possible future reads. Some have been published recently while some are classics, and different genres are represented, from the short story to children's fiction to chick lit.

I have to say I've been anticipating this trailer for a while, as Becky Bloomwood takes the step from the pages of Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series of books and onto the screen in
Confessions of a Shopaholic.
The movie stars Isla Fisher as Becky, and — weirdly — Isla's putting on an American accent in the role, which I was a little disappointed about as I love British Becky. Still I think that's something I'll get over fairly quickly if the film's good.

Those of us who watched the
90210 premiere last night got a special surprise in the show's second hour: the first trailer for
Confessions of a Shopaholic! The movie, based on Sophie Kinsella's best-selling book, stars Isla Fisher as the adorable, silly, and sassy heroine Becky Bloomwood.
A couple of things: First of all, I thought Becky would have a British accent, but nope, she's American.

Now that Isla is filming
Confessions of a Shopaholic down in Miami, it's time to break out the warm weather gear. She still managed to look gorgeous in her latest quirky ensemble as she multi-tasked on her
BlackBerry while getting her hair done yesterday, but
cutie Olive had to wait in the wings for her mom this time. She probably didn't go very far — these two have a
Mother's Day to celebrate on Sunday.

Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy flashed some cash at a hot dog stand on the set of
Confessions of a Shopaholic yesterday. As Isla continues to work hard and make friends in NYC — including an
adorably embarrassing interaction with Matthew Broderick — her fiancé is busy
making his new movie and settling issues with his old one. A
judge dropped the lawsuit brought on by two Dartmouth students back in 2006 that were
humiliated by their part in Borat.

After a few weeks off from the, um, inventive (ridiculous) outfits for
Confessions of a Shopaholic, Isla Fisher was back at work in Chelsea yesterday in the typical
pink and
orange. While Isla is continuing to be adorable all over the place, her fiancé Sacha Baron Cohen is back up to his shenanigans making his new movie, Bruno. He apparently
caused a bit of a scene at the Wichita airport and
may have even tricked Ben Affleck.

Confession: we're not digging Isla's
over-the-top costumes on the set of
Confessions of a Shopaholic — the dress could work by itself, but the combination is pretty horrid. Luckily we don't ever have a bad thing to say about the movie's leading lady, who was looking adorable as usual from the neck up while shooting in NYC yesterday. Now that the cold Winter is almost over, perhaps we'll get another peek at cute Olive on the set with her mommy, this time in a Spring dress instead of her
warm baby sack.

Isla Fisher surely stood out in the crowd on the set of
Confessions of a Shopaholic in NYC yesterday. She was dressed up in an uber-poofy bright pink dress and an equally, um, non-understated dalmatian print shawl. Not much for dressing like a wallfower, eh?
