Jennifer Connelly

Since 1999, Shane Acker has been fixated on a post-apocalyptic world inhabited only by stitchpunks (Acker’s term) and the robots that hunt them. While studying at UCLA, he began work on a short thesis film which became an eleven-minute animated piece entitled 9. The short, about nine puppet-like creatures who inherit the earth after machines destroy humanity, was eventually nominated for an Oscar, won a Student Academy Award and, on 9-9-09, the big screen version landed in theaters with the voice talents of Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly and Christopher Plummer.

Jessica Biel has been named Revlon’s newest Global Brand Ambassador.

That’s a fancy way of saying she’s their new spokesmodel and is going to make a buttload of money convincing women who will never look like her (no matter how hard we wish and pray) that using the same mascara and foundation will bring us one step closer to her level of beauty. Timberlake not included.

She joins the ranks of Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and Jennifer Connelly, who have also shilled for the company.

Biel’s ads will begin running in Spring 2010.

Back in December we were shocked and disappointed by how skinny Jennifer Connelly had suddenly become.

Now her husband, actor Paul Bettany, is explaining her wasted appearance is due to grief.

Connelly lost her father, Gerard, recently and has been so depressed, she’s withered.

The same thing happened to Angelina Jolie after she lost her mother last year.

Our sympathies go out to Jennifer.

Sarah Paulson attended the premiere of her new film The Spirit at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood last night looking like she’s got a bit of the Jennifer Connelly/90210 syndrome.

When did she get so thin?

Her face is so gaunt we fear she’s hiding some serious boniness under her questionable calf length dress.

Are you okay, Sarah?

With spindly arms, vanishing breasts and legs so twiggy they make her shoes look like tanks, an alarmingly thin Jennifer Connelly arrived at last night’s New York City premiere of her new film The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Has someone been watching too much 90210 and getting the wrong idea of what “right” looks like?

What happened to the voluptuous stunner ever boy in America wanted to fly around on his jet pack like the Rocketeer? She wasn’t even this skinny in Requiem for a Dream and she was a junkie in that film.

Actress Jennifer Connelly, 37, has been named a new celebrity face of Revlon. Other Revlon women include Halle Berry, Elle Macpherson, Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes and Jamie King.

“Jennifer Connelly is a modern, dynamic and intelligent woman. She is an accomplished wife, mother and actress and her successes complement the spirit of the Revlon brand,” said David Kennedy, Revlon’s President and CEO. “We are elated to have Jennifer join the Revlon family.”
