Isla Fisher shows some skin in the new issue of GQ as she continues to promote Confessions of a Shopaholic. The actress has already revealed that she plans on marrying Sacha Baron Cohen soon and now she opens up about working on a new script. She feels there is a lack of strong, funny, female movies and is writing a film called Groupies with Amy Poehler to help her cause. Here's more:
On the movie she's working on with Amy: "It’s about classic, overconfident dum-dums lusting after a band. There’s a restraining order against them, but they’re in total denial."
On her fiancé Sacha: "He’s always funnier than me."
On the rumors she was having difficulty converting to Judaism: "The entire story is ridiculous. I converted three years ago. [When the reporter revealed his partner was Jewish but he hadn't converted] I’m willing to do a circumcision here. Get me a sharp knife and some ice and you won’t even feel it. "
Isla may be humble about her comedic talent, but with her new movie and upcoming projects, it sounds like she'll be getting just as many laughs as Sacha in no time.

Sexy Salma Hayek looked perfectly polished on her way in and out of The Late Show yesterday. The actress is promoting her guest spot on 30 Rock, and she compared working with Alec Baldwin to enjoying a pint of delicious ice cream. She also told a few endearing stories about Valentina, mentioning that her trilingual baby likes things clean and sleepwalks at night. Dave teased Salma about Francois, and even brought up the engagement rumors. Salma didn't deny it but when he asked if there was going to be a wedding soon she coyly answered "Maybe... but then again maybe not." Sounds like we might have been right about our romantic speculation, but unfortunately Salma is still keeping us guessing.
Sneak Peek! More From Nicole's House of Harlow We all adore Nicole Richie, and while many celebrity designer collaborations have fizzled, her costume jewelry line is still going strong. I can see why. House of Harlow 1960 is affordable, unique, and the starlet models it herself — smart move.

Britney Spears was in the passenger seat yesterday as she and her mom Lynne drove around the town of Calabasas, where her rumored new $8.9 million mansion is located. She's apparently ready for a more suburban life, and her new digs offer just that with a rose garden, home theatre and library. Lynne wasn't the only Spears along for the trip, though, as Brit twittered that, "I just took my babies to our new home and they loved it! I can't wait to move in." She might have had an awkward confrontation with her past over the weekend when she ran into JT, but it seems like Brit's all about planning for her future.
