Please check out the gallery, I will be updating the gallery without making an update on the frontpage. Updates will be slow for a while as I am reading for several exams at the moment.

Check out the Wall Street Journal, Julia wrote about The New York Mets for their weekend section! It’s great to see her talent on paper as well as on the screen. She definitely knows how to get my attention.

Yes, it’s true! Julia Stiles has her own blog! I just found out!

Stiles’ agent, Toni Howard, just confirmed for me that the blog; YOU KNOW MY STEEZ, is in fact the actress’s own. So far, the star of “Save the Last Dance” and “The Bourne Ultimatum” has written three posts, one a link to a short film she directed and two about the city schools, which she attended until middle school.

On the blog she is particularly taking a stand for charter schools, and she states her case well. She is also blogging about Oleanna. The blog is fairly new. If you only know Julia from her movies, then her blog will positively surprise you. She is an intellectual concerned young woman. And educated. Some of us already knew this, but it’s amazing to be able to visit the actress’ own blog and find out what is on her mind.

- 02/18: NY Fashion Week : Milly Fall 2009

View the album to see more pictures from the event. More pictures coming up shortly!

Julia spoke about Fashion Week:

“Um, it’s really funny to me,” she said, spinning to face us. “Because it’s like, I’m sort of relieved that I don’t work in fashion! Everybody seems stressed out all the time.”

There’s actually a fair amount of news today, but I want to make sure that this doesn’t slip through the cracks: New York Magazine reported yesterday on a new friendship between Joel Klein, the chancellor, and the actress Julia Stiles.

Apparently Stiles met Klein by interrupting him at a recent party where he was reacting to an Obama speech. Stiles stopped him in order to describe her own issues with the city’s public schools. Then she got embarrassed for getting so excited about the education issue:

Afterward, Stiles, mortified (“I have a lot to say and I was wildly inarticulate”), apologized and awkwardly asked for Klein’s e-mail. He took hers instead, saying “I’ll be in touch.” “I’d seen a couple of her movies, but I couldn’t remember her name,” Klein admitted, but he e-mailed her to follow up. “We’re now e-mail pals. She likes what we’re doing on charters.”

I’ve finished converting the FKA Projects to wordpress, and the new section is up now and can be viewed under Career.

edit:
The Website and Julia sections are also done

Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles are set to star in David Mamet’s Oleanna at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. The show replaces the previously announced Uncle Vanya as the third production in the Taper’s 2009 season at the Los Angeles Music Center, due to casting complications. Previews for Oleanna start May 28, with opening night set for June 5. The production, directed by Tony winner Doug Hughes, will play through July 12.

Pullman is perhaps best known for his roles in the films Independence Day, Lost Highway, Sleepless in Seattle, Ruthless People, While You Were Sleeping, The Grudge, Spaceballs, Scary Movie 4 and the recent Bottle Shock and Noble Son. He has appeared on Broadway opposite Mercedes Ruehl in Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?, for which he received a Drama Desk Award nomination. In 2007, he earned a second Drama Desk nomination for his appearance in Albee’s Peter and Jerry in 2007 at Second Stage. Pullman was also nominated for a Helen Hayes Award for the 2006 Kennedy Center production of The Subject Was Roses.

Stiles starred in Oleanna in London’s West End in 2004. Her additional stage credits include the 2002 Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night, James Lapine’s Fran’s Bed at Playwrights Horizons and The Vagina Monologues off-Broadway. Her film credits include I Love You, I Love You Not, 10 Things I Hate About You, Save the Last Dance, Mona Lisa Smiles, two David Mamet films (State and Main, Edmond), as well as The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.

Oleanna is a gripping account of a power struggle between a male university professor and one of his female students. Premiering in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1992, it has since been produced in London and New York and was made into a movie in 1994, starring William H. Macy and Debra Eisenstadt.

I have decided to only use wordpress from now on. The site is on a semi- hiatus because I need time to update all the pages within the site, but the gallery still works perfectly.

edit:

Website section is done.

you should be able to comment now.

While I am making time to update the gallery, I found some new pictures from an event Julia attended about two months ago:
