Knightley new face of Chanel fragrance
Hollywood and haute couture are often paired in their portrayal of a glamorous lifestyle to which mere mortals may aspire. Scarlett Johansson is the face of Louis Vuitton, and now another hot young Hollywood star, Keira Knightley, is the face of Coco Mademoiselle, one of Chanel's most popular fragrances. Knightley is the star of a Chanel short film directed by Joe Wright, who also directed her in "Pride and Prejudice." See it online at www.coco-mademoiselle.com. In the film and ad campaign, Knightley wears two white gold and diamond necklaces from the "Coco a Venise" collection. For daytime, she wears one wrapped around her ankle as an accessory to a man's white shirt. For evening, she wears one around her throat with a stunning red haute couture gown. With the gown she is also seen wearing the "Dentelle de Camelia" white gold and diamond cuff, valued at $240,000.
The nanny parodies
Scarlett Johansson's character has little in common with Mary Poppins, reports Helen Barlow. The world of the bored elite in New York has long been rife for parody. Now, taking on rich mums and nannies, the documentary filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini have adapted the satirical novel The Nanny Diaries for their fiction-film debut. The movie lacks the quirky magic of their previous effort, American Splendor, but it has a stellar cast. Laura Linney delivers a taut performance as a truly rich bitch and Paul Giamatti excels as the arrogant fat-cat husband. Scarlett Johansson, as always, will have most eyes on her as the nanny with a heart of gold. But isn't that a bit of a stretch? "This is a fantasy, isn't it?" Pulcini muses, "but, in fact, one of the reasons Scarlett told us she wanted to do the movie was that she felt it represented closer to her voice than any movie she'd ever done.
'The Game Plan' is warm and fuzzy, but utterly contrived
"The Game Plan" (PG) "The Game Plan" amounts to little more than a vanity production for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. It is an amiable enough movie and ought to give warm and fuzzy amusement to kids 8 and older, even as it will appear utterly contrived to adult eyes. Handsome and likable in action flicks, Johnson has a long way to go before he can carry a light comedy easily on those huge shoulders. Luckily for him, little Madison Pettis, a gap-toothed charmer, plays his 8-year-old daughter Peyton — a surprise package who turns up at the deluxe Boston bachelor pad of star quarterback Joe Kingman (Johnson), aka "The King" (Elvis is his idol). Note that the movie runs a little long for younger kids and includes brief scenes that gently imply heavy team partying, but in no detail. - Barbie games
