Cate Defends Herself in Elizabeth's Spirit

PopSugar — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 16:04:18 -0700

Cate Blanchett's dress wasn't doing much to squash those pregnancy rumors, joined by costars Geoffrey Rush and Abbie Cornish at a photocall for Elizabeth: The Golden Age in Australia today. She and her husband are set to take on the roles of artistic directors for the Sydney Theater Company in January, but are receiving backlash for not being properly qualified. When asked how Queen Elizabeth would have handled the situation, Cate said,

"She was a great patron of the arts... under her reign, Shakespeare and the English language flourished. So I can only hope that under our patronage, Australian writing at the Sydney Theatre Company flourishes in a similar way."

Cate has always struck us as one of Hollywood's more poised and graceful stars. We're sure that her dedication and talent will shine through no matter whether her role is on the big screen or behind the scenes at the theater.

Cate Brings Elizabeth to Rome

PopSugar — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 06:50:48 -0700

Cate Blanchett took Elizabeth: The Golden Age abroad Friday for the Rome Film Festival. First stop for Cate was a photocall for the film where she glowed in blue and gold. Cate then took her look up a notch to walk the red carpet in a dress that made her standout but not necessarily in a good way. Cate has been reflecting on bringing her famous character back to the big screen and while in Rome admitted the role would have been pretty difficult to turn down. She said, "It would have been perverse to refuse to play in the sequel. It's undeniable that Elizabeth I is an extraordinary woman in history."

We're happy Cate came back as Elizabeth even if the sequal wasn't as good as the first. To see more of Cate, sadly without her costar Clive Owen just read more

Johnny and Orlando seem to be just fine promoting Pirates without Keira, even if Johnny keeps insisting on wearing wacky spectacles. At the moment they're in Japan, charming their faithful followers back into the theaters. Johnny seems to love Pirates just as much as we do and says he's open to doing another one. As for this installment, he says "It's been a great experience trying to discover who Captain Jack was, getting slapped around by the Disney people - it was all fun."

It's the Golden Age of Elizabeth Premieres

PopSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 07:45:00 -0700

Cate Blanchett continued her world tour of Elizabeth: The Golden Age with a screening at the London Film Festival last night. Once again, Clive Owen was missing, but in his spot was a different British co-star, a Sienna-less Rhys Ifans, as well as Heather Graham. Cate has openly discussed her initial hesitation to reprise the role of Elizabeth, but it became hard to say no once she knew who else was involved. She said, "When I knew that Geoffrey Rush was on board, and Clive Owen was willing to be a part of it, the project as a whole seemed appealing."

TIFF Is Chock Full Of The Hotness

Molly — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 13:36:28 -0700

From Brad and Angie to Matt and Ben, the Toronto Film Festival brought out all the big names this weekend - and here are some more of the pretty little faces. Quite the marquee of names descending on the Canadian city - there are some lucky folks who probably got some amazing celebrity sightings out of it. Clive is always a treat while Cate and Kate both looked adorable in pink (and loving Bosworth's shoes). Naomi, of course, looked great but sadly still had no Liev by her side. Also, I'm definitely not complaining about a little Javier Bardem or Stephen Dorff - am I right or am I right, ladies?
