Jessica Simpson Valued Acting Advice from Willie Nelson
Posted on July 12, 2007 at 10:45 am (PST)
Jessica Simpson was impressed by a thespian technique passed along to her by Willie Nelson when they were filming The Dukes of Hazzard.
She reportedly told Harper’s Bazaar:
"Willie Nelson taught me an amazing thing. He memorizes his lines by writing them as a song, and they become a melody to him."…
"In my music career, there have been moments of failure, and with acting, I haven’t had that yet. But music is opening up my heart and every emotion inside of me."
That sounds like great advice! When we think "skilled actor," we think "Willie Nelson."
Of course, the trick would be more helpful if Jess was smart enough to remember lyrics.
Sit tight, Princess. If you didn’t think Employee of the Month was a moment of failure as an actress, you’ve got a big ol’ acting bomb coming down the pike in Blonde Ambition. Congrats!
Lily Allen Calls Paris Hilton Hideous and Amy Winehouse a Faker
Posted on July 9, 2007 at 7:52 am (PST)
Gotta love Lily Allen. She just tells it like it is, even about herself! We like this so much better than when she’s whining on MySpace.
The latest pearls about Paris Hilton, the Sun is reporting, are howlers:
"I think Paris is amazing. I mean she’s hideous, but I think she’s amazing at the same time.
"I love her. I think The Simple Life is genius. I can never figure out if she plays up to it or not.â€
It’s not the first time feisty Lil has taken a pot shot at the blonde heiress.
She once labelled her "useless and hideously untalented" and suggested people who bought her debut album should be killed off.
The Smile singer also rubbished her rival Amy Winehouse’s singing ability.
She added: “I think she has a cool voice. But saying that, I don’t think it’s her real voice.â€
An Amy/Lily street battle to the death may not be a stretch, though it could go either way. Winehouse will either come out swinging, or retreat into private to cut herself.
Tune in tomorrow, when Lily Allen might claim that she was drunk when she did this interview because she’s an alcoholic. Or that she was talking crazy because she was weak from an eating disorder brought on by Hollywood’s unrealistic expectations. Or that she just had PMS.
All revelations are possible with loose-cannon Allen.
