Kate In 'Mean Magazine'
"good evening! actress kate beckinsale is gracing the new cover of mean magazine (there sure are a lot of magazines out there - if it weren't for blogging i wouldn't know half of 'em) she's posing as new wave french cinema actress anna karina (who is still alive at age 67) there's a video the magazine whipped up that shows ms. beckinsale's photo shoot mixed up with footage of ms. karina in the 1967 french film anna (with music from serge gainsbourg) kate is also starring in a new film that released this past weekend called snow angels which looks like a pretty intense drama/mystery - i'm so falling behind on my new year's resolution - i need to get myself to the movies more...if i could just stop playing video games! right now i'm all about super smash bros. brawl on the wii which hit stores today - i can't stop playing it! getting back to ms. beckinsale for a minute - i'm still getting a chuckle over her quote from last week about her lady bits being sacred like a pharoah's tomb - she certainly takes her pussy seriously! (although that quote would have packed more punch back in the day when all the tombs were still free from exploring & pillaging!) tomorrow it's back to the grind but i hope everyone had a swell weekend - i'm totally bummed about losing an hour of sleep but the extra bit of daylight will be worth it! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo! "

As I'm sure you'll agree, Kate looks friggen gorgeous in this shoot. And I'm not the least bit surprised Kate was choosen. She really does have an old school Hollywood essence to her. Not to mention, she did play Ava Gardner. ;-)
Spotted @ STK Restaurant (3/9/08)
"This weekend Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale were spotted leaving STK restaurant in LA. None of their hot husbands were in sight and while we knew Eva and Posh have been friends for a while now — Eva bonded with Victoria during her Spice Girls tour and she was even there to cheer on David at his first game with the LA Galaxy last July, but we didn't know Kate B was part of the clique. The three ladies ate and then headed to the lounge for after dinner drinks with the protection of their bodyguards. Posh even surprised quite a few women when she waited in line to use the "regular" restroom. Could you even imagine opening the door only to see Posh waiting on the other side? Now that would totally be major!Courtesy of PopSugar.com

Kate Talks 'Snow Angels' & 'Underworld'
Kate recently did an interview with one Rebecca Murray this past week in promotion of Snow Angels. Excerpts of the online article can be found below:
“She's got a job that's not fulfilling. She's solely responsible physically, financially for a child. She has a husband who she's separated from who is kind of like another child almost and not responsible,” explained Beckinsale. “She's kind of responsible for her mother. I think she's very oppressed by her life and feels like she was going to get more out of it than she did and disappointed and struggling. Because she's busy and overwhelmed, her life's kind of like a treadmill that she can't get off. She makes certain choices because she's so consumed in the just next thing all the time.”
- “Then [she] finds herself on a really tough journey, things that are happening to her that are going to spoil everything. I think she's a single mother and I've been a single mother and been under the same pressures that she's been under. It's a very common feeling of loneliness and pressure and responsibility that a lot of people I think feel. It's just that Annie's circumstances ramp up.”
- Thankfully, getting into and then stepping back from this character was something Beckinsale was able to do as needed. “It depends on the scene,” offered Beckinsale. “I think some of the scenes towards the end of the movie, it became like Sam [Rockwell] and I going into our corners like a big boxing match. We'd get our little mouth guards out and take a breather and come back. There's not a lot of joking in that because you really want to keep - when there's a great energy that you have and it's working, you don't want to distract from it. It's very easy to be distracted on a film set. There's so much going on and people running around.”
- Despite the film’s dark qualities, Beckinsale says the set was a happy one - thanks to how writer/director David Gordon Green ran it. “…We had loads of fun. He picked a lot of people who were capable of having a good laugh. That really helped…”
- Also fun for the British actress was the opportunity to not have to look like a movie star. Beckinsale says it was refreshing to take part in a movie that wasn’t all about looking glamorous. “I feel less insecure about looking like sh*t seeing as I can do that just waking up easier than the other thing. I don't know. The whole glamorous thing is puzzling to me. I was monumentally ugly until I was about 15 so I still have that mindset.”
- After completing Snow Angels, Beckinsale stayed busy with a batch of other film projects including Winged Creatures with Dakota Fanning and Forest Whitaker and Nothing But the Truth with David Schwimmer. “In Winged Creatures I play a single mother who's a waitress in a diner who witnesses a random shooting murder and becomes affected with post traumatic stress and starts harming her baby. Another light comedy. Then Nothing But the Truth, I play a journalist who exposes somebody she knows as a covert CIA operative and is taken to the grand jury to reveal the source and won't, [and she] goes to jail. It's not Judith Miller. It sounds like Judith Miller, but it's not actually Judith Miller. Kind of a little bit like that.”
On Underworld:
- And what of those rumors of a cameo in the prequel? “They're shooting it right now. It's in New Zealand so probably not. But it's a family movie,” said Beckinsale. “My daughter's dad is the lead and my husband's producing it so I feel like we've got the family franchise going.”
- It’s definitely unusual that everyone gets along so well, and Beckinsale knows she’s lucky. As for how she did it, Beckinsale said, “I think because I pick great guys. I love Michael. Michael's fantastic. It shouldn't necessarily have gone on and on forever with us, but he is one of my absolutely favorite people ever. I think we both felt that it was really important for Lily, our daughter, to have everybody coming from the same place. He loves her and I love her and Len loves her. Everyone's nice. The guys both get along. I do feel like that's my major achievement of the last decade that my daughter is totally unscathed and great. I am proud of that.”

"Kate Beckinsale in 'Celebrity Denial'"
Wednesday, March 5 2008, 13:09 GMT
By Alex Fletcher, Entertainment Reporter
"Kate Beckinsale has claimed that she still finds it hard to consider herself a celebrity.
The actress argued that she spent more time in her kitchen than on red carpets and said she couldn't understand the paparazzi's obsession with following her.
She told Los Angeles Confidential: "I'm in complete denial about being a celebrity.
"I spend 80% of my time in my kitchen and occasionally I'm wheeled out to pretend to be Kate Beckinsale for awards shows.
"I'm not at nightclubs every night but I'll take my kid hiking and several paparazzi will show up and it's like, 'What? I'm not shaving my head in public. You need to leave me alone'."
The Van Helsing star also revealed that she would be willing to look ugly in a movie, as long as the role was a good one.
She commented: "Not necessarily for an Oscar, [but] I would for a great part.
"I don't think you can ever guarantee an Oscar nod. I think if you were doing it for that and you gained 300 pounds and you didn't get nominated"

Allure Excerpts
Having received an request from a reader who lives in a country where this month's Allure has yet to arrive (and is desperately seeking the article with readable text), I came across this short series of excerpts. I'm afraid is isn't the entire article, but I hope it'll suffice for the time being.
This one's for you, Alice.
"I've only ever had about three boyfriends. Only a handful of people have seen into the Pharaoh's Tomb... My best feature is unfortunately a private matter, although I'm told it is spectacular. But you can't really walk it down the red carpet. What can I say?"
Other highlights include quotes about her work:
"Acting requires so much delving into yourself and exposing yourself, so it's sensible to be wondering, Do I still want to be doing this? But I enjoy the work, and everything is so solid at home. I don't care if they say I've had buttock implants. Or not. I don't care. Go ahead! That's the nice thing about getting to the age I am. I could have said I didn't care before--but secretly I did. And now I really don't."
Considering quitting acting to become a doctor:
"I was at the point where I was wondering whether the work I was doing was sustaining me intellectually. I'd had enough of the ludicrous questions. Like, 'Have you had your boobs done?' or 'Have you slept with Colin Farrell?'"
Struggling with her career:
"I sort of ended up in Los Angeles by accident. And it was sort of terrible to be jostled into this position of a fame-hungry starlet. Which is so honestly not me! In fact, I could use a bit more of that because I am such a hermit! So I allowed myself to get really bothered."
Husband Len:
"I have a husband who literally worships me. And cleans the house. And blow-dries my daughter's hair."
