Blame Game

Jessica Biel

When actors are going through a dry spell in their careers, it's only natural to lash out and blame someone else for their lack of an employment status. Obviously it wouldn't make sense to hold themselves accountable for the injustice (because that's just crazy talk), so they move on to their fellow Hollywood constituents. Jessica Biel is going through a similar type of situation and recently decided to make Anne Hathaway her own personal scapegoat and blame the actress for taking all of her potential roles. In an interview with the December issue of Elle magazine, Biel stated, "There’s a million [roles] that get away. [Actors are] gluttons for punishment. It’s just rejection.” Biel recounted how she desperately wanted to be Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, but lost the role to Academy Award nominee Hathaway. "I was gutted. I mean, to work with Christopher Nolan in that kind of a role..." Biel said while recalling the loss. Biel also said she dreamed of starring in the upcoming adaptation of Les Miserables, but once again, was overshadowed by Hathawau. Biel stated, "I felt terrified when I auditioned for 'Les Miserables,' the movie that Tom Hooper is doing. I was terrified to sing in front of him. I auditioned for Fantine and I sang 'I Dreamed a Dream.' I didn't get it. And I would have loved it." But Hathaway isn't the only one Biel accuses of raining on her parade -- she also has a bone to pick with Rachel McAdams. According to Page Six, Biel also auditioned for the lead role in the romantic classic, The Notebook, but was tossed aside when producers cast McAdams for the part. "That’s one that I wanted so badly," remembers Biel. "I was in the middle of shooting 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' and I auditioned with Ryan Gosling in my trailer—covered in blood. [Director] Nick Cassavetes put me through the wringer in an interesting, excitingly creative way." Now it's hard to know the real reasons why Biel wasn't cast into any of these desired roles, but the actress has a few theories as to why she's not a director's number one choice. In an interview with Allure magazine in 2009, Biel explained she's simply too good looking for most roles, saying, "It really is a problem. I have to be blunt." I mean, who wouldn't enjoy working with that?

Playing the Field

jessica biel


Dennis Quaid is the latest actor to join the soccer comedy PLAYING THE FIELD and will star alongside: Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel and Uma Thurman, directed by Gabriel Muccino. The film follows a semi-pro soccer player turned little league coach (Butler), his ex-wife (Biel) a soccer mom (Thurman) who has a crush on Butler and a rival coach in Dennis Quaid. Strangely enough this story was supposed to be about little league baseball, but turned into soccer so that it could reach a wider international audience. Shooting is set to start later this month in Louisiana with a release most likely to come next spring or summer.


I’m not sure why exactly, but I just really like Dennis Quaid. He reminds me of my childhood because I just couldn’t get enough of INNERSPACE back in the day, which would explain why I love Meg Ryan as well- not so in love with Martin Short though. Hmmm, weird.

Happy Birthday

Jessica Biel


Jessica Biel is celebrating her 29th birthday today. Jessica was born in Minnesota and grew up in Colorado where she was trained as a singer. She started her musical career at the age of nine when she performed in musical productions of popular shows including The Sound of Music, Annie and Beauty and the Beast.


By age 12, Jessica was modeling for print ads and starring in television commercials while she kept up her search for the next big thing. Her next big thing came in the form of the highly-successful and morally sound TV series 7th Heaven, a show where she played the role of Mary Camden , the daughter of a pastor; she was just 14-years-old.


While shooting 7th Heaven, she got her debut in the film industry when she acted opposite Peter Fonda on the award winning movie Ulee's Gold.


Jessica eventually buckled under the pressure of the "good girl" role that she played in 7th Heaven and after leaving the show she immediately launched into filming movies such as starring roles in The Rules of Attraction, Cellular and Blade: Trinity.


She is a University graduate from the Tuft University in Massachusetts and is also involved in several charities, one of which is PETA.
