"Birth is very challenging in the best way possible. Every fiber of your being is alive. It’s like you are conducting electricity; literally creating something. "I’d like to give birth every year if I could, just for that experience."

-- Thandie Newton

Thandie Newton was offered a part in Charlie's Angels. She turned it down and said she didn't think it would have been a good idea to become that famous.

"In career terms it was a platinum opportunity. Or, as my agent put it, 'a one-two punch'.

I was going to do it for about 24 hours. But then I woke up and it just didn't feel right. It would have meant entering that virtual world of stardom, but I'd been away from home for nine months (filming Mission: Impossible II) and it would have meant another six months away."

Her agent and manager were NOT happy with her decision, so much so that they soon parted ways with her.

"They were appalled. They thought I was committing career suicide."

An actor who doesn't want to be famous?  Now that's an oxymoron if I ever heard one.

Thandie Newton attended the 'Rocknrolla' World Premiere held at the Odeon West End in London wearing a plain white Roman inspired dress. She had to be very careful while walking in the wind as her legs were fully exposed with each step. Walk very slowly Thandie!

What do you think about her choice? Love it or Hate it?

Thandie Newton was photographed at the "10th Anniversary of the The Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care" in London last night wearing a full length black and floral dress. I love her hair and make-up and I want to like the dress, but there is just a lot going on. I'm kind of at a loss. What do you guys think of it?WENN

Who would have known that Thandie Newton was such a prankster? She should hook up with George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon! Simon Pegg (who I LLLOOOOVVVEEE) fell victim to one of her most recent pranks during a press junket to promote Run Fatboy Run. David Schwimmer recalls...

I think the best one was when we were doing the press junket together in London, where the movie opened. Thandie, Simon and I were in three different rooms with all these on camera interviews. Thandie had got there hours before Simon and I, and she had filled every one of his 12 giant bottles of water with vodka. So when he was in the middle of his first interview on camera and he goes to take a (swig) during the interview, a huge gulp and just spits up everywhere all over the interviewer. That was probably the best prank."

Here's new director David Schwimmer and Thandie Newton at the premiere of their new movie, "Run Fatboy Run" in NYC yesterday. My usually lovable David looks a little, um... rough around the edges and Thandie is wearing a black lace onesie. I'm curious if you think Thandie managed to pull the look off, or is it a no go? And what about David's facial hair? Isn't it always shocking when we see our favorite stars with facial hair right? I mean Ross never grew a beard for the entire decade I watched him on Friends!! :)WENN

Ashley Olsen and Julianne Moore were among the list of celebrities who attended the Party for the New Museum on the Bowery sponsored by Calvin Klein designers Italo Zucchelli and Francisco Costa. Julianne is wearing quite the loose fitted dress eh? Maybe she just wanted to be comfortable. I won't say it... I won't say it...I'm telling you, medical buildings and loose dresses bring out the worst in me.Click on the thumbnails to see more pictures of Thandie Newton, Ali Larter, Lake Bell and Maggie Gyllenhaal.SPLASH

I LOVE posting about fashion awards because there is so much pressure to get it right on the red carpet. What do you wear when you are going to THE FASHION AWARDS? Lily Allen, Kelly Osbourne, Kimberly Stewart, Dita Von Teese, Thandie Newton and Stella McCartney all put their best fashion foot forward for the 2007 British awards. Who owned it? Who needed to look twice in the mirror before leaving the house?Click on the thumbnails to enlarge each picture.WENN
