Âåëüâåò: Here's Johnny Fresh from living like a king on Californian golf courses, Jonathan Rhys Myers takes a royal swing at Irish newspapers and tells our LA correspondent Patricia Danaher why he is not amused by the pomp of awards events BARING HIS SOUL: Jonathan Rhys Myers gets to grips with the inner psyche of Henry VIII Jonathan Rhys Myers is very down on the Irish media for reporting his recent woes. After months of trying to speak to him, he finally shows up, early, for an interview with HQ. He is a bit moody and guarded at first. Dressed in a mustard-coloured leather jacket over a white shirt, he looks tanned and fit and tells me he has spent the past week on various California golf courses with his three brothers, two of whom are visiting him from Europe. He is still in a hiatus before beginning filming the final season of The Tudors at Ardmore, with time to brood over the past two years which have seen more in the media about his erratic behaviour and concerns for his well-being than his many professional accomplishments. Earlier this year, he failed to show up to collect two different awards for his work -- at the IFTA event in Dublin in February and at the Oscar Wilde event in Los Angeles. "I just felt I needed time off and I didn't need to go to awards ceremonies," he says, not altogether convincingly, sipping a large glass of orange juice in the garden of the Fours Seasons in Beverly Hills. "You can get slightly waylaid as an actor doing that sort of thing and I'm never that comfortable at them anyway. But you know what Irish newspapers are like, there are always going to be more aspects on your personal life than your professional life, because you're an Irish person so they tend to make up or embellish whichever story, trying to sell newspapers." He won't give me an example, so I invite him to talk about the photos of him falling down drunk on the street in LA that appeared on the night of the Golden Globes in January. "Someone said there were photos of me alright, so I went and looked on the internet and that photo was from six or seven months previously. If I'm not at something, they'll just print an old photo of me. I go out for a night once a year or something like that and it just ends up in the newspaper because you're a celebrity. It's very hard for the media with actors like me, because I don't date other actresses and I don't hang out with movie stars. "It's very hard to find stories about me, because I live an incredibly low-key life. People would like to think I'm a hell of a lot naughtier than I am. I am actually quite a boring guy. I spent the last week and a half playing bloody golf. Me, Jonathan Rhys Myers! If anyone saw me in those stupid golf clothes on the golf course, there would have been a different story written!" Actors are always being asked how like the character they are playing they are in their own lives. Henry VIII in The Tudors is not the first time Rhys Myers has played a king -- he also played a very charming very young Elvis in a CBS series four years ago, for which he was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe. "All actors are frustrated rock stars," he laughs and reminds me that his three brothers are all musicians who play in a band called Suzy's Field. "Elvis was not a great businessman but he was a great artist and he needed somebody like Colonel Parker to get him there. I don't think Elvis would have existed without Colonel Parker, he wouldn't have been anywhere near as famous. So you take the good with the bad. "Henry VIII had the same, first of all with Wolsey and then, after Cromwell, he learned his lesson and he decided to become the manipulator instead. I don't know why people blame a certain politician for what's wrong. You have to look at the advisers. You have to rely on the people that are counselling you very, very much, but that's the same in the whole business." And who counsels him? He won't name any names, except to say he just spent a few months in Middlesex staying with a counsellor, but denies vehemently that he was in rehab. "No, no, no. I was never in rehab. I spent that time in the English countryside with a good friend of mine who is a counsellor, but I wasn't in rehab," he tsk-tsks crossly. In spite of his private ups and downs in the past two years, including the break-up of a long engagement to Reena Hammer, and the sudden death of his mother, Geraldine, Rhys Myers' output has been prodigious and he has continued to make his mark, working consistently with the A-list, such as Woody Allen, Tom Cruise and Jessica Lange. He is animated when it comes to talking about work, but becomes visibly guarded when the interview veers towards anything personal, crossing his arms across his chest and tilting his body away from me. "People say that the film industry is a very competitive industry, but I don't see my enemy," he laughs. "It's not like a tennis match and I've got a guy on the other side of the court. You've just got to be the best actor that you can possibly be. I'm 31 now and I believe everything I've done has been an apprenticeship so far. "It's like the first phase, when I was allowed to play roles that were extraordinary, play roles that were risqué, and make mistakes, have successes, have failures, all of these by the time I was 31. Thirty-six films and three TV series -- that's the apprenticeship. What I do from 31 to 50 is probably my career, so I haven't even started yet."

Âåëüâåò: Everyday I come home from class to have a quick lunch at home. As I sit down to relax and enjoy my meal, I can’t help but wish there was something better to watch on TV. Between overly dramatic soap operas, Maury and Jerry Springer trying to figure out if a guy named Reggie is some baby’s father, and re-runs on VH1, afternoon TV is nothing but garbage. However, on one of my tireless lunch breaks channel surfing, I stumbled upon the “Martha Stewart Show”. While this show is usually directed towards middle-aged housewives who enjoy gardening, cooking and crafts, her unexpected guest stars make this show surprisingly entertaining for everyone. Even though she is genuinely offering great advice and tips to stay-at-home moms, she knowingly pokes fun at some well-known celebrities and they join in by teasing her as well. I mean where else can you see Ludacris show how he prepares sea bass, while Martha chats about how much she loves his music. Is she listening to the same “Luda” I do? I mean I can’t really picture her singing; “I’ve got h--- in different area codes,” while weaving baskets, but there’s a lot we don’t know about her. On her recent show with SNL’s Seth Meyers, who was a last minute replacement for Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Martha prepared Easter favorite hot crossed buns, agreeing it would be an appropriate nickname for “Tudors” hottie Jonathan because of his lovely buns. Between this and her supposed “thing” with Anthony Hopkins revealed in her interview with Ray Liotta earlier this month, when the actor asked her if Hopkins was a good kisser, it’s evident the blushing host is not as innocent as we always thought. So whether she is coyly making a Q-tip holder with Q-Tip the rapper, or being reminded of her stint in the big house while decorating Easter eggs with Rosie O’Donnell, the “Martha Stewart Show” is a surprisingly funny afternoon talk show that pokes fun at celebrities including herself while teaching valuable tips on being a good housekeeper. I have finally found a show that is worth watching during my lunch break everyday, and as the domestic diva herself would say, “That’s a good thing.” http://www.northernstar.info/article/7480/
Âåëüâåò: Wild? I prefer to play golf -- Rhys Meyers Rumours: I never went to rehab, says Tudors heartthrob Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers loves going on the course (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) Hollywood superstar Jonathan Rhys Meyers has insisted that his bad boy image is way off the mark. The star claimed that far from partying and drinking he actually prefers low-key pursuits such as golf. In an exclusive interview with the Herald, the Irish actor admitted that he has spent some time in Middlesex staying with a counsellor but denies that he was in rehab. Reports have said that Jonathan has taken the title of Irish wild child in LA from Colin Farrell and has had a public battle with alcohol addiction. But the Corkman has claimed that the reality is far removed from this Hollywood lifestyle. "I live an incredibly low key life. I think people would like to think I'm a hell of a lot naughtier than I am actually," he said. "I am actually quite a boring guy. I spent the last week and a half playing bloody golf. Me, Jonathan Rhys Meyers! If anyone saw me in those stupid golf clothes on the golf course, there would have been a different story written!" he laughed. The actor has had a difficult time over the past two years, including the break up of a long engagement to Reena Hammer and the sudden death of his mother, Geraldine. The 31-year-old failed to show up to collect two different awards for his work -- at the IFTA event in Dublin and at the Oscar Wilde event in Los Angeles -- as well as pulling out of appearances on late night chat shows in the US. But he insisted the no-shows were not a sign that he was going off the rails. "I just felt I needed time off and I didn't need to go to awards ceremonies," Jonathan explained. "You can get slightly waylaid as an actor doing that sort of thing and I'm never that comfortable at them anyway." Jonathan, who is famed for his role as Henry VIII in The Tudors as well as starring in a range of blockbusters, including Match Point and Mission Impossible III, said that "all actors are frustrated rock stars". But he denied that he has any difficulty pursuing a career in the intense show business. "People say that the film industry is a very competitive industry, but I don't see my enemy," he laughs. "I think as an actor, you've just got to be the best actor that you can possibly be, keep yourself as focused as possible and be open." "I'm 31 years old now and I really, honestly I believe everything I've done has been an apprenticeship so far," he added. "What I do from 31 to 50 is probably my career so I haven't even started yet," he said. http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/around-town/wild-i-prefer-to-play-golf--rhys-meyers-1722811.html
Âåëüâåò: LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Rhys Meyers would be relieved to see “The Tudors” end before his character, King Henry VIII, transforms from a robust young man to pudgy old ruler. “I wouldn't be very good at putting on a lot of weight. When I played Elvis (a young Presley, in the 2005 TV movie “Elvis”), I really had to struggle so I would have Elvis' puppy fat,” Meyers said. “I had to keep eating.” Meyers' portrayal of an energetically trim Henry is in sharp contrast to portraits depicting a mature, full-faced monarch, one with an apparent appetite for food as well as marriage. “The Tudors” is in its third season on Showtime. It has unfolded as a flashy chronicle of the early and middle years of Henry's political and domestic life, which included an infamous six wives and the beheading of two. Henry's health has been hobbled as the series progressed, but the cause is a leg injury and not weight. “It doesn't seem to have affected his sexual prowess,” Meyers observed. “Of course, Henry wasn't as sexed up as the show is. But we're not selling it to a 16th-century audience.” Meyers has two scripts in hand for the fourth and final season, scheduled to begin production in June, and has yet to discover how the tale will end. “If I was going to make a suggestion, just go to a certain point and then you have a placard saying, ‘Henry continued to rule and died in the year 1547,'” he said. The Dublin-born actor has relished playing the colorful king, whom he views as an “arrogant, selfish man” who was driven to folly because of his romantic obsessions and determined pursuit of a male heir. The current season includes third wife Jane Seymour (Annabelle Wallis), the woman who was “probably the great love of his life,” Meyers said, and less-cherished wife No. 4, Anne of Cleves, played by pop star Joss Stone. Meyers has the intense, pouty-lipped look that makes him a natural for bedroom scenes. But the episode he singles out involves a grief-stricken Henry and the court “fool,” whom Meyers describes as the only man in England who can speak truth to power. He's played by David Bradley, “a wonderful actor,” Meyers said. The episode, the season's fifth, debuts Sunday. “We get plastered drunk … and I've never done that before, never had to act drunk. It's quite difficult to get it right,” he said. So that encounter trumps filming Henry's flings with a succession of lovely women? “Doing the erotic stuff, it is what it is,” Meyers said. “But it's not really where you get the best of your acting. I have a girlfriend, these girls have boyfriends. So where's the respectful line in doing a sex scene if you really want to do a good one?” He recalled being asked by the director in the first season to touch an actress' breast, and being cautioned by her that she had a boyfriend. “Not anymore,” a cheeky Meyers replied http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090501/LIVING/905010306

The auction will benefit various charities, including The Prince's Trust, a nonprofit founded by Prince Charles that provides practical and financial support to struggling youth in the United Kingdom. Hollywood's awards season nominees and presenters make up the participants of this year's event, and they were asked to showcase their creativity by designing their own jewelry to wear on the red carpet, pieces that would later be offered at the auction. According to Bonhams, celebrities who have signed or designed items include Amy Adams, Danny Boyle and the cast of Slumdog Millionaire, Steve Carell, Kelly Clarkson, Colin Farrell, Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais, Brendan Gleeson, Tom Hanks, Goldie Hawn, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, The Jonas Brothers, Keira Knightley, Hugh Laurie, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Brad Pitt, Mickey Rourke, Steven Spielberg, Tom Wilkinson, Kate Winslet and Reese Witherspoon, among others. Jewelry designer Robyn Rhodes worked with the celebrities and oversaw the manufacturing of the one-of-a-kind pieces. In addition to jewelry, signed Hollywood memorabilia, footwear and handbags will also be up for auction. Gala preview events will take place in New York, London and Los Angeles before a May 28 live auction in the latter city. And given that the jewelry up for auction in the event has had a red-carpet history, the jewelry will also have some red-carpet transport for its tour. The items will travel on the Cunard Line's flagship Queen Mary 2 aboard a six-day transatlantic crossing between New York and Southampton, England. The collection will be previewed in an exhibit at Bonhams in London on May 5, followed by the New York exhibition on May 18. "We anticipate an international audience will express interest in the jewelry, footwear, handbags and Hollywood memorabilia," Bonhams and Butterfields Director of Sunset Estate Auctions Carolyn Mani said in a media release. "Bidding could be quite competitive for these one-of-kind items. Bonhams and Butterfields is honored to join this effort." http://www.nationaljewelernetwork.com/njn/content_display/fashion/jewelry-auctions/e3i14c62023ee3459ab6c8dc92cd6745acb

Âåëüâåò: Powered by WP Greet Box After the tour de force from President Obama, it didn’t seem like the night could be any more magical. But as guests walked up the circular drive for the Bloomberg | Vanity Fair after party at the French Ambassador’s residence, the magic continued. It was the ultimate insiders affair: no red carpet or paparazzi gauntlet, just Owen Wilson lounging near the front door talking quietly to a few Washington admirers. With Donald Rumsfeld, who lives down the street, stopping by for a drink, it was a night, a location, and a crowd where anything could happen. Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Vanity Fair Editor Graydon Carter, joining party forces this year, welcomed the exclusive guests. The brave captain of the Maresk Alabama, who offered his life in exchange for his mates, was Bloomberg’s special guest for the weekend. That followed getting the keys to New York City from Mayor Bloomberg the day before. Captain Richard Phillips shrugged off the compliments of celebrities (Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore) and politicos who lined up to shake his hand, but he did pose proudly with another real-life Captain America, Chesley Sullenberger, who safely piloted a US Airways jet onto the Hudson River. Earlier in the day, Phillips and his wife, Andrea, met with President Obama in the Oval Office, after a private tour of the White House. The unflappable captain told Bloomberg it was an “honor to meet the President. He’s a very amazing man and he’s a very down-to-earth man.” His wife agreed, “It was very overwhelming, surreal to actually, be inside the Oval Office … I was so deeply excited to have met the President like that.” After being introduced to the Commander-in-chief, Phillips admitted it was hard to get excited about meeting anyone else after being introduced to the Commander-in-Chief. The dinner that kicked the evening off, the White House Correspondents Dinner, recognizes the stars of the White House press corps, many of whom shined brightly at the Bloomberg | Vanity Fair party afterwards. At one end of the party media veterans – Barbara Walters, Margaret Carlson, Jon Meacham, Jim Bell, Andrea Mitchell, Bill Plante, John McLaughlin, and Al Hunt — rubbed elbows with the new kids on the media block – Katherine Weymouth, Chuck Todd, Savannah Guthrie, Jake Tapper, Lara Logan, Michael Calderone, Betsy Fischer, Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei. And the stars from Hollywood mingled with the brightest lights from stage and screen: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Natalie Portman, Claire Danes, Christian Slater, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, Chace Crawford, Ali Wentworth, Kerry Washington and Denis Leary. Celluloid royalty Jonathan Rhys Meyers could be found in one room, real royalty, His Highness Prince Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein in another, and a Supreme, Justice Antonin Scalia, in yet another. And real rock stars, like Sting and Jon Bon Jovi, mingled with Obama rock stars: Valerie Jarrett, David and Susan Axelrod, David Plouffe and his wife Olivia Morgan, Peter Orszag, Dan Pfeiffer and Sarah Feinberg and cabinet members Shaun Donovan, Steven Chu, Hilda Solis, and Lisa Jackson. Also at the party, Team Obama’s pit crew led by Tommy Vietor and Katie McCormick Lelyvold, Reid Cherlin, Marissa “Ground Zero” Hopkins, Sally Armbruster, Amanda Anderson, Kate Kochman, Katie Johnson and the cool and collected Eric Lesser. Jon Favreau standing next to Graydon Carter looked like he belonged at all Vanity Fair parties. Team Fav favorites Sarah Hurwitz, Cody Keenan, and Jon Lovett who helped pen the President’s dinner remarks, were like the President they serve, modest in their success. The Emanuel family represented multiple spheres of influence: White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (the butt of one of Obama’s better jokes) his National Institutes of Health bioethicist brother Zeke, and Ari, a Hollywood agent depicted in “Entourage,” who left early to get his son Noah home for Mother’s Day. What was unusual about the party was its low-key, matter-of-fact quality. There was no push to meet and greet the biggest bold-faced name, no jostling for position near the celebrities, no rubbernecking fans. As the party wound down, it was just a group of friends, old and new, enjoying the conversation, the trees lit by red, white and blue lights, and the soft warm May breeze. http://www.whitehousecorrespondentsweekendinsider.com/2009/05/12/inside-the-2009-bloomberg-vanity-fair-after-party/

Plus, the dude played Elvis Presley in Elvis and a David Bowie–like rocker in Velvet Goldmine so you know he can act like a singer. Sign us up! Why he won’t be: As good a choice as he is, we have a feeling Mr. Scorsese will want to save Mr. Rhys Meyers for his Mick Jagger biopic.

Âåëüâåò: Scorsese doing Sinatra: Is this a good idea? News broke today that iconic director Martin Scorsese has signed on to direct a biopic of Frank Sinatra. On the surface, this seems like a natural fit. Scorsese has deep roots in Italian-American culture (Goodfellas), mid-20th century Americana (The Aviator), and has built successful films around charismatic, complicated male characters (Raging Bull, Casino). The problem, though, is that most of Scorsese's best work is raw, kinetic, and contemporary. Think Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy, Mean Streets, The Departed -- even Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. The content of these films matches Scorsese's restless personal energy and roaming-camera shooting style. When he gets into period movies lately the result is -- I'll just say it: ponderous. Aviator and Gangs of New York both felt so freighted by the crushing weight of their historical precision that the films seemed suffocated. I'm also not heartened by the news, from one of the film's producers, that Leonardo DiCaprio is at the front of the line to play Old Blue Eyes. There's no doubt he's a fine actor, and probably a cool casting choice, but the Sinatra film would become the fifth movie Scorsese and DiCaprio make together. (Their fourth, a 1954 thriller called Shutter Island, comes out this fall.) I think it may be time for both men to see other people. And for Scorsese to make a modern film again before he gets so mired in the amber of some idealized 1950s America that he never gets around to helping us make sense of our own crazy 21st century. But what do you think, Popwatchers? Am I being too harsh on Marty, or is it time for him to give the period movies a rest? http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/05/scorsese-doing.html

Âåëüâåò: The Night Variety Here's my story for on the dinner for the print edition of Variety: The arrival of President Obama's administration undoubtedly injected a new sense of energy into this year's White House Correspondent's Assn. dinner, transforming an event labeled the "nerd prom" into something more akin to the Golden Globes. In the claustrophobic atmosphere of the Washington Hilton on Saturday night, the sound of a protester shouting down Donald Rumsfeld was drowned out by the piercing screams of teenage fans as they watched for the likes of Natalie Portman, Jonathan Rhys Myers, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and cast members from "Gossip Girl" to arrive. The surreal D.C.-Hollywood-media mix is an annual ritual, but it was as if everything was in alignment this year. With names like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Alicia Keys, Sting, Jon Bon Jovi and Warren Buffett, even former Secretary of State Colin Powell remarked on the presence of so many good "gets," in his words. At a string of pre-parties sponsored by media outlets, attendees and photographers clamored for a look at the latest VIP, although it was hard to get tell if its was for the Hollywood figure or a cabinet member or someone like Richard Phillips, the captain of the ship seized by Somali pirates. What hasn't changed, however, is the nature of the annual event itself. The President still delivered one-liners fit for Jay Leno. The dinner entertainment, Wanda Sykes, still inspired the after-event consternation as to whether she went too far. The New York Times still boycotted, on the grounds that the cavorting of White House press corps with the administration they cover is a bit too unprofessional. And as is always the case, the fete puts deep-thinking policy makers into ball gowns and tuxes, and just about everyone scrambling to see and be seen with anyone who can incite a flash bulb. "It is one of the most self indulgent evenings of the year," Powell, who has two children in entertainment, told Variety. By most accounts, Obama passed this first major test of presidential humor with flying colors. "Most of you covered me," he said to the journos. "All of you voted for me. Apologies to the Fox table." Then came the quip that got the greatest laugh, at the expense of chief of staff Rahm Emanuel: "Tomorrow is Mother's Day. This is a tough holiday for Rahm. He's not used to saying the word 'day' after 'mother.'" More questionable --- if only because D.C. isn't quite used to her sharp tongue --- was after-dinner entertainer Wanda Sykes, who toned down her language but didn't spare much when it came to Rush Limbaugh. "He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason. He's not saying anything different than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight." Another joke elicited some soft groans: "Governor Palin is not here. She pulled out at the last minute. Someone should tell her: That is not how you practice abstinence." Palin's husband, Todd, was at the Fox table. Afterward, White House senior adviser David Axelrod called Sykes "very entertaining." "She walked it to the line, but I thought she pulled it back," he said. Conservative commentators grumbled, and Bill O'Reilly darted off refusing to give his take. Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele was more restrained. "Wanda Sykes is Wanda Sykes," he said, before warning, "I think Rush will have a few things to say in the coming days." The event drew no where near the GOPers of the Bush years --- one attendee called last year's event "glum" --- but figures like Newt Gingrich mingled at the pre-dinner parties. A beaming Rumsfeld seemed unfazed as he entered to the woman's shouts of "War criminal! Arrest this man!" right in his face. Asked about it by Variety, he threw his hands up in the air and said, "They are out front demonstrating about animals... It is life in America." But as much as the superficial trumped seriousness, there were unmistakable signs that the governing class isn't going to be consumed by the glitter. At a party at the Corcoran Gallery of Art hosted by Capitol File, Emanuel kept his distance from the red carpet. There's also the case of an official from the Naval Heritage Museum, who watched as her workplace was taken over by a smattering of celebrities and politicos for a Creative Coalition/Capitol File screening of Barry Levinson's new doc, "PoliWood," on Friday. Shaking her head at a rope line, she said, "Too self important for me," and left. As fascinated as they may be with each other, these are two worlds that just don't entirely equate. At a pre-dinner brunch at the home of media entrepreneur Tammy Haddad, Val Kilmer told her he was "probably not" going to run for governor of New Mexico, as he had been considering, according to Politico. Soon after that, he walked into the party, spotted Christian Slater, and rushed over to hug him, saying, "There's one of my kind." http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/latestnews/index.php?id=13893
Âåëüâåò: Movie star Colin Farrell has been voted one of the world's top sex symbols -- for gay men. The renowned woman-iser, who said he hated his one on-screen kiss with a man, has now taken his place among the world's gay icons. Farrell was in good company in the hot 100 listing, compiled by popular gay and bisexual website AfterElton. Heart The list included Barack Obama -- and fellow Irishman Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Dubliner Farrell was number 66 in the poll, with Rhys Meyers well ahead at 44th. The Cork-born Tudors' star polled ahead of Clive Owen, Jude Law and Orlando Bloom. They can both take heart in polling well ahead of stars such as George Clooney, who lagged behind at number 73. Farrell is currently dating Polish singer and actress Alicja Bachleda, his co-star in the forthcoming movie Ondine. Although the top 100 was dominated by straight men, nearly 20pc were gay, including those in the top three. Actor Neil Patrick Harris, of Starship Troopers, was number one, followed by Torchwood star John Barrowman and Brothers and Sisters' actor Luke MacFarlane. Last year's poll-topper Jake Gyllenhal dropped to fourth, with X-Men's Wolverine Hugh Jackman in eighth. http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/around-town/womanising-movie-hunk-colin-outed-as-a-gay-icon-1742942.html
Âåëüâåò: The tropical north is a great place for fashion designers to find their mojo. Some say there’s something in the water, others say it’s the tropical humidity. Whatever the reason, Far North Queensland is well known as being a breeding ground for innovative fashion designers. Names such as Lana Michalenko, Linda Jackson, Vikki Hatton, Grace Lee, Vanessa Goggan, Jillian Zamora, Karlie-Jay, Vivienne Francine and Ailsa Rollo immediately spring to mind. Then there’s Stacey Cotter, who we haven’t heard much of for a little while, but who is living the dream. Now 25, Stacey, originally from Mareeba, is the design manager at Timothy Everest in London. The brand has been labelled "the leader of the new bespoke movement" and his designs have been worn by David Beckham, Pierce Brosnan, James McAvoy, Jay-Z, Colin Firth and the Kaiser Chiefs, to name a few. After her studies at Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE in Cairns, Stacey moved to Brisbane to further her studies. At her graduate show, Stacey was awarded the 2005 Italian Scholarship to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Polimoda Campus in Florence, Italy where she completed the International Fashion Design Program. After graduating from Polimoda, Stacey moved to Paris for a few months and was offered a job with European fashion company Miro Radici in London as the menswear designer and shortly afterwards was approached by Timothy Everest. With his quirky and quintessentially English take on menswear, Marks and Spencer called Timothy Everest "the UK’s number one suit designer … whose work is the definition of modern, premium tailoring". "My role includes overseeing the research of current and predicted future fashion trends, sourcing seasonal inspiration in order to create a mood/theme for the season, designing the collections, preparing design presentations for our collaboration projects, licensees or for manufacturing, liasing with collaborating partners, Marks and Spencer, or our licensees in Japan regarding the collections and overseeing press requests," Stacey says. She has travelled to Florence, Milan, Germany and Paris for her job and also commutes between London and Paris with her partner each month. "Working in luxury fashion I do get the opportunity to attend lots of fun and interesting functions. Last year I attended a fashion show and cocktail party where Claudia Schiffer, Pixie Geldof and Erin O’Connor were special guests. At the MAC makeup party, Dita Von Teese rode a giant mechanical lipstick," she says. "Last week I stepped outside my place to see Vivienne Westwood being filmed on the corner of my street. Ten years ago as a teenager on the Tablelands I never would have imagined the life I am currently living. "Yes, sometimes I do pinch myself when I realise where my career in fashion has taken me. I am on the journey I dreamed of." As for the future, she hopes to someday have her own as a successful fashion entrepreneur. "The thing I noticed most when I first came to Europe and what set my style apart was that I wasn’t afraid of colour. I wear bright vibrant shades and colourful patterns whether in summer or winter – a style trait I credit to living in the tropics. I guess this stems from the fact our seasons are less obvious in FNQ then in Europe so we tend to transcend seasons. "Here there is more of an unwritten rule about what colours you should wear in winter and although many European designers include bright colours in their AW collections, it is not very evident in the sea of black in the streets. Maybe dark autumnal shades do trick you into feeling warmer but vibrant colours have a huge impact on your mood especially in cold drizzly weather." And many of latest bunch studying at TAFE Cairns want to follow in Stacey. Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE’s fashion courses are well regarded as having produced top names and giving students skills that can take them to the top of their game. Teacher Yvonne Turnbull says just 20 students a year are chosen to undertake the Certificate IV fashion course, but the number of success stories is astounding. It is one of only four TAFE colleges in the state to offer studies in fashion and she says it gives students good skill foundations and an insight into what the industry entails. Students focus on design, pattern-making, sewing and marketing. Yvonne says the talent in this year’s course is astounding and it was tough to pick out individuals to highlight for this update on young fashionistas. Evie Schillmoller, 18, says the main reason she is studying fashion design is because of her own body shape. Tall with a large bust and narrow back, she says she finds it hard to find clothes to fit. Evie says she learnt to hand sew with her mother and grandmother but is learning new skills courtesy of her studies. She describes her current style as "alternative wear" and she likes using recycled materials because she is environmentally conscious. Ultimately she says she would like to have her own boutique. Madison Achilles’ career path probably was fore-ordained as her mother also has undertaken the course and is a dressmaker. "I’ve always been into fashion and making my own clothes and I’ve been making jewellery for a few years now," Madison, 21, says. Her own taste leans towards lace-ups, corsets and anything well fitted. She took a year off from studying after finishing school, saying she didn’t want to jump into more study straight away. Madison enjoys jewellery design as she says it is more personal. She also says having her mother’s influence is handy, though their styles are vastly different. Madison says her mother’s style is classy and elegant, while her personal style is gothic, funk-rocker. Leah Gardiner, 25, yearns for women to dress in a more lady-like style. Her personal taste leans towards the 1920’s era of fashion. "I just like the whole lady-like thing, pretty hairstyles, low-waisted belts. I don’t think it’s really been re-done and it should be," Leah says. "I was really close to my grandma when I was little and she just taught me that way." Leah says she has always been interested in fashion and has undertaken several design courses in the past few years. Ultimately she aims to own her own business. Grace An says she fell in love with the world of fashion when she inherited a sewing machine from her sister at the age of 14. Her studies are being funded by a $3000 fashion scholarship. She says her style is ethereal, girlie, soft and with plenty of pastel colours. "I was never really a smart student in class, but I was always arty," the 18-year-old says. Her mother did any family sewing by hand as the family did not own a machine but in year nine at Cairns State High School Grace started putting clothes together for the school’s acclaimed CAD fashion parade. After completing this TAFE course, Grace hopes to move to Brisbane or Melbourne to further her studies and ultimately have her own label. http://www.cairns.com.au/article/2009/05/20/43195_lifestyle.html
Âåëüâåò: If you’re standing on a Hollywood film set playing opposite Jack Black, you might be tempted to conclude you’ve made it as an actor. But not Chris O’Dowd. The 29-year-old from Boyle, Co. Roscommon has an Irishman’s caution about counting his chickens. “I’ve seen so many actors on top of the world fall off a week or two later,” he tells the Irish Voice. “It’s a practical thing. I think you’re only as good as your next project so I won’t be patting myself on the back just yet, you know?” But he has every right to be pleased with himself, nonetheless. O’Dowd recently won the role of Edward Edwardian, the English-sounding military leader of the Lilliputians in the film version of Gulliver’s Travels. The film, a knock-about comedy on an epic scale, is currently being shot in London. O’Dowd plays Black’s main rival and arch nemesis. In a bit of casting that Jonathan Swift might have appreciated, it’s the Irishman who’s the villain of the piece. “In Gulliver’s Travels I play the military commander of the Lilliputians (the nation of six inch people that Gulliver towers over). He’s a comedy baddy engaged to a princess (played by Emily Blunt) and he tries to kill Gulliver (played by Black). A lot of mayhem ensues.” O’Dowd admits he’s completely wowed by the epic scale of the big-budget Hollywood film. “It’s a very big set and it’s filled with a very fun group of people. But there’s also a lot of freedom in it creatively and I’m having huge fun making it. Being this sort of posh prancing English style of commander barking orders and running around is about as much fun as you’d imagine,” he says. Part of O’Dowd’s appeal is his unlikely sex symbol status. Although there’s no doubt that O’Dowd is very good looking, he’s still very approachable, and not at all the kind of humorless alpha male Irish actor type more commonly plastered all over a Hugo Boss commercial, say. There’s even an online group now, the O’Dowdles, who spend all their free time enumerating his charms. Asked if he thinks he’ll become the next Colin Farrell or Jonathan Rhys Meyers he sighs and says, “I will need sharper cheekbones.” http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/Life-in-the-fast-lane-with-Chris-ODowd-45694242.html?page=2
