When Will ‘Shopaholic’ Isla Fisher Catch A Break?
2:00AM STV | Any armchair economist can sit down today and point out last year’s indications of a New Depression. The one he’d likely miss occurred when Isla Fisher nabbed the lead in Confessions of a Shopaholic. More »
Isla Fisher Chooses Stardom Over Judaism, But All The Other Converted Actresses? Some Fine Lookin’ Jews
10:55AM Molly Friedman | When choosing between months of intensive studies spent hunched over a Torah preparing for your kiddushin (that’s betrothal for you goyum, which are non-Jews for you…non-Jews), and becoming a big star, it seems Isla Fisher has decided to go with the latter. As the Daily Mail reports, the potential redheaded successor to Lucille Ball’s slapstick throne has put off the conversion process in order to complete filming Confessions Of A Shopaholic. And fiance Sacha Baron Cohen’s ultra-religious parents just don’t see what all this movie stardom fuss is all about. The wedding date has reportedly been postponed, Cohen’s gone back to making Israelis cry as Bruno, and the wee Cohen baby is presumably in the hands of the only au pair they could find who hasn’t seen Borat. But Fisher isn’t the first actress to undergo conversion to Judaism for a guy — from Liz Taylor to Connie Chung, a diverse handful of stars became Jews in the name of love, though not every shattered chuppah led to a happy ending… More »
What Would Happen
8:35AM Molly Friedman | If The Devil Wears Prada knocked up Sex and The City: The Movie and they had five kids? Besides the birth of our worst nightmare, that is?

The British books, penned by Sophie Kinsella, starred a clumsy heroine who manages to be even less likable than Bridget Jones.

Isla Fisher Has Had A Healthy Baby And Is Kicking Goals In Hollywood, But What Really Matters Is The Size Of Her Arse
11:16AM Clem Bastow | What is the most important thing that a woman in the public eye can do with herself after having children these days? Raising them right? Being a good mother? Taking time off work to bond with her new family? If you answered “yes” to any of those options, you are WRONG.
The most important thing, der fred, is to regain your pre-pregnancy shape, dummy! *giggle*
Yes, the “baby weight” brigade has their eye firmly fixed on Home & Away export, Isla Fisher, who recently gave birth to a daughter with fiance Sacha Baron Cohen.
Wearing fitted jeans and a transparent kaftan top, the 5ft 3in tall star looked svelte once again now she has shed the enormous baby bump she was carrying until October 17.
The Wedding Crashers star is thought to have lost the extra pounds naturally through breastfeeding.
“The enormous baby bump”! Which was, incredibly, CARRYING A BABY INSIDE IT. Whoda thunk she wasn’t just eating all the pies?
Honestly, this obsession with “baby bumps” and pregnancy/post-pregnancy weight has got to be the most odious of all the unpleasant aspects of the celebrity circus. Can women catch just a small, nine-to-twelve month break from the photo editor’s magnifying glass? Is that too much to ask? More »
