Future Reads For the PopUK Book Club

PopSugarUK — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 02:00:00 -0700

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. Be sure to let me know what you think!

First Glance: Confessions Of A Shopaholic – See It or Skip It?

PopSugarUK — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

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.I enjoyed the trailer — it's fun, light-hearted and looks like it will reflect the comedy and energy of the brilliant novels, but I want to know what you think. When this movie finally makes it to our screens in 2009 will you make the trip to see it?

Movie Preview: Confessions of a Shopaholic with Isla Fisher

BuzzSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:03:18 -0700

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. OK. Second, when the trailer first came on, I thought it was some sort of credit card commercial thanks to all the shopping scenes. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. And third — but probably most important — Isla Fisher looks like she's bringing all of her usual sparkle and charm to the role. Not that I doubted her, really, but I was a little nervous we'd lose her comedy beneath some of those over-the-top outfits we've been seeing. There's a quick succession of scenes at the end — doing a little jig in a dressing room, speaking fake Finnish, and doing something inexplicable with a fan — that just makes me giggle every time.

What are your first impressions? To watch the trailer for yourself, just

Isla's Still Confessing Her Crimes of Shopping

PopSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 11:33:43 -0700

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 Blends in While Sacha Keeps Doing His Thing

PopSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:00:42 -0700

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. While we're sure Bruno will stir up his own trouble, at least the only controversy Isla's creating is with her on set wardrobe.

Isla Still Busy Confessing About Her Shopping Issues

Molly — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 09:58:10 -0700

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. Ha, well it sounds like he hasn't lost his touch after Borat — love the comedic power couple and their adorable little Olive.

Why Isla, What Furry Boots You Have

PopSugar — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:00:48 -0700

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 Doesn't Look So Pleased in Her Pink Cupcake

Molly — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 16:14:55 -0700

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? We'll have to wait a while to see the final product from this one, but those of you who need your Isla fix, she lent her voice to Horton Hears A Who — too cute! — out this weekend.
