Isla Moves On To The Cookie Queen

PopSugar — Wed, 02 May 2007 15:57:47 PDT

Isla was looking pretty laid back at lunch at the Farmer's Market in LA yesterday. We haven't heard anything lately about her rumored pregnancy and of course these pictures don't really shine a light on anything either. Audreystar points out that they are not denying it so that's good to know! In other Isla news, the latest film she's signed on for is called The Cookie Queen. It's a comedy about a woman who tries to stop a fifth grader from breaking her 20-year-old record for selling the most Girl Scout cookies. Sounds hilarious and we can't wait to see her funny personality back on screen!

Busy Isla Is The Cookie Queen

BuzzSugar — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 10:47:44 PDT

Isla Fisher has been very busy lately. After starring in the quiet thriller The Lookout this spring, she worked on three comedies: In Wedding Daze (which has also been called The Pleasure of Your Company and The Next Girl I See), she marries a stranger (Jason Biggs), while Hot Rod finds her hopping on a dirt bike opposite Andy Samberg. She also stars in Definitely, Maybe alongside Ryan Reynolds.

Now, according to Hollywood Reporter, Fisher has signed on to star in The Cookie Queen:

The story follows Claire "Cookie" Taylor (Fisher), who holds the record for all-time girl scout cookie sales. When she learns that a precocious fifth grader threatens to end her 20-year reign as cookie queen, she sets out to sabotage her.

This news is awesome. The plot reminds me of comedies that are usually reserved for Will Ferrell and his dude buddies, but now Isla gets to play the central role instead of the kooky hot girl. Or rather, I guess she's now playing the "cookie" hot girl. Ha! (No, this entire post was not written for the express purpose of using that pun.)

Keri Russell Shows Her Growing Baby Bump While on a Cheerios Run!

Allie Merriam — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 09:27:38 PDT

A pregnant Keri Russell stepped out of her Brooklyn home this morning to pick up Honey Nut Cheerios at a local deli. She's about six months along with her second child with husband Shane Deary, and soon their oldest, River, will become a big brother! The cereal may have been for Keri, her husband, or their son, but she has revealed in the past that her favorite craving lately has been for whoopie pie cookies. Keri's baby bump hasn't slowed her down from enjoying NYC. She and her husband were seen last month showing PDA while watching the US Open in Queens. Keri's also lined up another role, besides mother of two. She will star in Austenland, a film produced by Twilight's Stephenie Meyers about a Jane Austen fan who tries to find the perfect gentleman for herself.

Emily Giffin Shares Her Top Moments From the Royal Wedding!

Guest Writer — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 16:15:05 PDT

Editor's Note: The following is a guest post written by Emily Giffin, author of Something Borrowed and four other best-selling novels. For more from Emily, like her on Facebook.

Just as I got up at the crack of dawn with my mother and sister to watch Di and Charles wed, I set my alarm for four this morning, donned my fanciest hat (purchased for Royal Ascot during my years in London), and gathered with my mother and own satisfyingly brainwashed-to-care children to watch this generation’s version of the royal wedding. As we sipped Earl Grey and munched on iced royal-nuptial sugar cookies, I tweeted the action, entranced by every detail of Kate and Will's magical day. Thirty years from now, here is what I will remember most:

A "people's wedding" with pomp and circumstance. Just as the guest list included celebrities, royals, and dignataries, as well as the butcher, grocer and postman of Kate's Berkshire village, the ceremony managed to be both formal and intimate at once, a tricky balancing act. Even the avenue of English field maple trees placed along the aisle (Kate's idea, natch) brightened the somber, thousand-year-old abbey doubling as a final resting place of 17 monarchs. Right out of the gate, Kate proves that she can respect tradition - yet do things her way - with warmth and style.
The dress, the dress! Kate looked positively stunning in her Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen ivory, hand-laced gown. While Diana's dress conjured an overdone child's drawing (no surprise, since she herself was a teenager!), Kate's gown was elegant and sophisticated, wonderfully reminiscent of Grace Kelly. A real, grown-up princess. (And, of course, I'd be remiss not to mention Kate's "something borrowed" - a 1936 Cartier tiara, on loan from the Queen herself, per royal wedding tradition. Beautiful.)
Picture-perfect Pippa and hot Harry. In contrast to the hideously comical, Dr. Seuss-esque selections of the Princesses of York, Eugenie and Beatrice. Oh, no they didn't.
Prince William’s one-liner to his soon-to-be father-in-law . . . “just a small family affair!” I love that he loves her family - another good sign.

A Royal Feast: Lemon Curd Cake

Lauren Hendrickson — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:19:58 PDT

A royal wedding requires a royal meal, and if you're tuning in on Friday to watch this fairy-tale wedding, why not celebrate with traditional British food? Every feast needs dessert, and a light, tart lemon-curd cake is the perfect way to finish an evening. The flavor of the cake is reminiscent of Madeline cookies, and it's layered with a sweet and slightly sour lemon curd and topped with a simple zesty frosting. If you've never made curd, don't fear, it is surprisingly hands off. For the ultimate lemon flavor, be sure to pick up Meyer lemons. This cake is fit for a princess, and perhaps even the queen! To nosh like royalty, keep reading and get the recipe.
