heather graham

Heather Graham admits to dabbling with witchcraft, and she’s so taken by magic potions and spells she had penned a spooky script about her interests.
She says, “I have this group of friends and we get together and we call ourselves The Goddesses and we wish for things and then a lot of amazing things have happened to all of us. It’s five girls and one guy… He’s a witch.
“We burn things… We did this thing where we were honouring the elements of earth, wind, air and fire… You do spells.
“We did this thing where we were calling on the wind and the air and this whole storm started on my roof… It was amazing… It’s empowering.
“One of my friends, she didn’t have a lot of money and she was like, ‘I want a better apartment,’ and we were doing these spells for her and then her dad just bought her an apartment.”
And Graham feels U.S. President Barack Obama owes her and her friends a huge debt of gratitude for helping him win last year’s (08) election.
She adds, “My friends really wanted Obama to be elected so we all did a spell… and then he got elected… It worked out good.” 

Penelope Cruz


Even movie stars such as Penelope Cruz feel insecure at times. The gorgeous actress has been recently promoting her new film, “Broken Embraces,” at the Cannes Film Festival in France and insists that she needs to feel “scared” to do her Oscar winning best.
“Every time I am making a movie I feel insecure, and I feel scared, and that’s part of the way I work-if one day I would be on the set feeling too secure, that would really scare me,” the Spanish actress explained.
“Broken Embraces” stars 35-year-old Penelope playing as an actress who is stuck in the middle of her film director lover, Pedro Almodovar, and a rich, coldblooded businessman.
The movie mixes comedy and drama, but Penelope says the comedy in the film was harder to perform than the drama.
“It’s a very delicate and subtle tone, especially with Pedro,” she said. “He’s like an orchestra director -very, very precise.”

Elisha Cuthbert


Elisha Ann Cuthbert is a Canadian actress and former foot model. You might have seen her fighting terrorist plots on Fox’s hit series 24 or in her movies Love Actually and Old School. The racy comedy The Girl Next Door  portrays her as a former porn star making a new start in the suburbs. Some may also remember her as co-host of the children's educational series Popular Mechanics for Kids. Her career began in 1989 at age of 7 by becoming a model. She grew up in Montreal, Quebec, and as a result is fluent in French. At the age of 17 she moved to Los Angeles, California. Elisha Cuthbert is currently engaged to Trace Ayala, friend and personal assistant to Justin Timberlake

Kristen Stewart


A fervent surfer who bears a striking resemblance to the young Jodie_Foster, Kristen Stewart was poised to become a preteen star with her role opposite Foster in David_Fincher's atmospheric thriller Panic_Room (2002). A resident of Los Angeles, Stewart's nascent acting career got off to a promising start when she was cast in two vastly different films. Eschewing fluffy kids' movies, Stewart played troubled single mother Patricia_Clarkson's tomboy daughter in independent film darling Rose_Troche's tough examination of suburban angst, The Safety of Objects (2002).
Stewart subsequently got her first taste of major Hollywood success with Panic_Room. Replacing the original child actress cast as divorcée Meg's sullen, diabetic daughter Sarah, Stewart became an even more felicitous choice when original star Nicole_Kidman dropped out and Foster stepped in. Though critics were less than ecstatic about the film, Stewart still garnered positive notice for her believable presence as Foster's offspring
