Isla Fisher is Not a Shopaholic

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:40:00 GMT

I haven't seen "Confessions of a Shopaholic" yet, but it's next on my list. A film about a woman whose spending is out of control? Why, it could be my biography.

But star Isla Fisher, who gave birth to daughter Olive in 2007 (dad is Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen) says her personal style is decidedly down-to-earth; more denim and less diamonds.

“Because I am a mum, my uniform is jeans and trainers and T-shirts,” she said. “I was raised as a tomboy with boys and I never really feel like myself when I am really dolled up at premieres and showbiz events.”

In other words, she's not a shopaholic, she just plays one onscreen.

Isla Fisher is A Protective Mother

The Daily Mail did a little piece on Isla Fisher and there's one quote that stood out for me. See if you can find it.

On breaking in to Hollywood: “When I did my first audition for the movie Scooby Doo, they flew me to America first class,” she remembers.
“At the time, I didn’t have any money and then I was flown to LA and put up at the Mondrian Hotel. It was like landing on Mars!”

On converted to Judaism in keeping with Baron Cohen, a devout member of the Jewish faith: ”I love religions and find them fascinating and I find Judaism very beautiful,” she says. “It’s enriched my life enormously.”

On making wedding plans (engaged since 2004): “I’m thinking of not inviting Owen and Vince so I can see whether they can crash our wedding,” she co-starred with them in the 2005 blockbuster hit Wedding Crashers.

On why people take her picture: “We’re starting to have our pictures taken a little more often now, probably because Sacha’s so tall (6ft 3in) while I’m so small (5ft 2in), I’m like a circus freak!”

On living in Hollywood: “Oh, I always thought I’d be living in Hollywood, in a seven-bedroom house with a massive swimming pool. It’s just that when I imagined it, I always thought I’d be the maid.”

On why she won’t talk about daughter Olive: “You know, motherhood is my favourite topic in my personal life and I won’t shut up about it, but it’s not something I want to discuss publicly just because of the amount of attention it draws to a small person who didn’t choose to be exposed.”

On her new romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe: “I think some of the slick, Hollywood romantic comedies where you know in the first act who’s going to end up with who aren’t realistic, but this is definitely a realistic story where all the women are just normal people who are flawed.

“Would my past relationships have made brilliant romantic comedies?” She laughs.

“Comedies, maybe.”

Celebrity parents, take note.

Sacha And Isla Take Some Couple Time

Ah, date night. I could use a date night. But until we find babysitting resources in our new town, I'm stuck with cable and take-out, and living vicariously through Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher.

Good for them for heading out on the town sans enfant. Couple-time keeps a marriage alive, you know. They wouldn't want to end up, like, say, every other set of parents in Hollywood, who only see each other in court and during custody visits. Not that they would end up that way, of course. I'm just saying.
