Salma Hayek Gets Oscars
Wake-Up Call, Dog Saves Her Life
Salma Hayek will get an early wake-up call next Tuesday (23Jan07) after
signing up to announce the Oscar nominations live at 5am in Hollywood.
The sexy star will join Sid Ganis, the President of the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly
Hills to read out the 2007 Oscars list.
Salma Hayek received a nomination for Best Actress in 2002 for her
portrayal of artist Frida Kahlo in Frida. The Academy Awards will take
place on 25 February (07). Salma Hayek has her dog Diva to thank for
saving her life hours before the Golden Globe Awards on Monday (15Jan07)
after the pooch alerted her to a gas leak. The actress was trying to
sleep off a headache when Diva woke her up by grabbing at her sleeve -
and attempted to get Hayek out of the house. A groggy Salma Hayek
immediately smelled gas as fumes filled her home. The day got much
better for Salma Hayek - Ugly Betty, the hit series she produces,
claimed two Golden Globes, including Best Television Comedy. |

Salma Hayek is one hot
date
Italian alcohol company Campari has taken a leaf out of Pirelli's girlie calendars by making its
own with Salma Hayek. Shot by celebrity snapper Mario Testino, the

figure-hugging black dress, draped in expensive jewellery and
good-looking blokes.

pouring herself a drink.Only 9999 copies of the Salma Hayek calendar, to

Salma Hayek
Nude Scene in ‘Ask the Dust’ Wins Best of 2006
Salma Hayek’s superior nude
scene in the critically acclaimed (but probably just for Salma being
nude) movie Ask the Dust has won her the highly touted (not really) Best
Nude Scene of 2006. It would be great if you had to accept your award
naked, eh?
Hayek competed with Bai Ling, Gretchen Mol & Kyra Sedgewick to win the
coveted nude accolade. I wonder what Salma thinks about all of this….
What do you think- Who would you like to see do a nude scene in a movie? |

Look Like
Salma Hayek - At Least Dress Like Her
Go ahead, admit it -- TMZ
won't tell anyone. You've got a major jones for Salma Hayek's artsy,
boho-sexy portrayal of Frida Kahlo in 2002's "Frida," and now eBay is
giving you a chance to satisfy it by bidding on two items from the film.
You can bid on a white dress Salma wore in the film as she waited for
Diego Rivera (played by Alfred Molina) at the university chapel or the
shoes she wore while visiting her father. (Think of all the fun you can
have re-enacting both scenes!) Both items come with certificates of
authenticity.
Regardless of which item you covet, either would make a great addition
to that Salma shrine we know you've erected in your closet. |

Produces
The
actress turned television producer Salma Hayek has a hit on her hands.
"Ugly Betty" was just picked up for the full television season because
of the shows resounding success, which has a lot do with the incredible
America Ferrera. Albeit, Salma isn't one to sit on the sidelines for
long. She's be guest starring on another episode of "Ugly Betty" during
the November sweeps.
This isn't the first television show that Hayek has appeared on.
The last time Salma Hayek appreared on TV, Bill Clinton was in office
and no one had ever heard of Ross and Rachel. The year was 1993 and the
sitcom she briefly appeared on was called "The Sinbad Show," which she
was promptly written off of after only a few episodes. |

Penelope Cruz
Shares Oscars Excitement with Salma Hayek
Penelope Cruz celebrated her
Oscar nomination last night by hitting Hollywood with best pal Salma
Hayek, who was upset she wasn't allowed to read the Spaniard's name out.
Hayek joined Sid Ganis, the President of the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts & Sciences, at the nominations announcement yesterday morning, and
when she spotted her friend's name on the card, she begged to be able to
read it out.
After yelping, "Yes," when Ganis read out her friend's name, the Frida
star told reporters, "I wanted to say her name. I fought for it, but
they wouldn't let me." As soon as an emotional Cruz saw the video
footage of her friend at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills,
where the nominations were read out, she excused herself in the middle
of an interview with TV show Extra to call Hayek. As cameras rolled
yesterday, Cruz could be heard saying, "You're coming out with me
tonight. To dinner. To celebrate." |

Salma Hayek
Contemplates Love
Salma Hayek's new movie, "Ask
the Dust," is the sort of thought-provoking story that seems to
inevitably lead to broader contemplations about the meaning of true
love.
Appearing on The Early Show Wednesday, the actress told co-anchor Harry
Smith about her character, and about the film's poignant message. Set in
Depression-era Los Angeles, the movie was written and directed by Robert
Towne, best known for the movie "Chinatown." The story is based on a
book by an Italian American writer named John Fante, who wrote about the
prejudice he observed in the first part of the 20th century. |
