A glass of ice cold milk or some semi-skimmed poured onto a bowl of cornflakes is a far cry from the red carpet glitz of star-studded Hollywood events. But Kelly Osbourne is a girl all for a good cause - especially when given the chance to sex it up and
One of the things Im already noticing about NBCs Smash is that, every time I find myself more or less indifferent about the concept of a Marilyn Monroe musical, a song from the dramas developing production debuts and Im lured back into the idea. Last nig

A lot of my critic pals have already watched the four Smash episodes that NBC sent out via screener DVD—something I tend not to do—so I’d heard through the grapevine that “Enter Mr DiMaggio” was the worst of the initial Smashes. But as often happens when
With Ivy (Megan Hilty) firmly in place as Marilyn Monroe, the Feb. 20 episode of Smash focused on Marilyn‘s creative team searching for the perfect leading man to play Joe DiMaggio. And because the drama is never relegated to the stage alone, the plum ro

Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for putting in my hand the same award that Marilyn Monroe herself won over 50 years ago
Thank you for suffering through six months of bedtime stories where all the princesses were read alound in Marilyn Monroe voices.
I want to say thank you for sending me off to this job every day with a hug and a kiss ... and for suffering through six months of bedtime stories where all the princesses were read aloud in a Marilyn Monroe-sounding voice.
for putting in my hands this same award that Marilyn Monroe herself won over 50 years ago. Thank you, I'm honored.

I consider myself a mother first and an actress second, so the person I most want to thank is my daughter . . . for suffering through six months of bedtime stories read in a Marilyn Monroe voice
And for suffering for six months of bedtime stories, where all the princesses were read aloud in a Marilyn Monroe-sounding voice.
Sex and sexuality are a part of nature and I go along with nature. I think Marilyn Monroe once said that.
The policies that she put forward were shared by a number of people in the Conservative Party at that time, but it's how they're communicated. And was it (former French President Francois) Mitterrand that said she had the mouth of Marilyn Monroe and the eyes of Caligula.
She is much more fragile than he would have thought, however, and she lacks confidence, much unlike the ‘public’ face of Marilyn Monroe that graces the front of all the magazines and newspapers of the time.
The image of Andy Warhol holding the Marilyn Monroe acetate will certainly become one of the most iconic images ever produced
The Golden Age of Hollywood’s musicals isn’t exactly the same as the era of goddesses like Marilyn Monroe or Rita Hayworth. But we mix those eras, both their songs and their styles
If My Week With Marilyn is successful, at some point, five years, ten years from now, I think Katy would be perfect to play Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn on Broadway, sing those songs, do the dances
The biggest discovery I made was that Marilyn Monroe was a character she played
I have tried many different things over the years. I did a plastic surgery once. It just brought back bad memories for me so the truth is moi is just naturally beautiful so I do not really have to do that much. It is true. Not everyone is a beauty. I also wear many wigs. It covers up any of the wrinkles...
Marilyn Monroe to me is just the most fascinating person and she had the most interesting life, I feel like it's totally untapped
When I first started researching it, I kind of naively assumed that that was Marilyn Monroe. It was a very carefully constructed persona that she put on. It was an absolute fabrication. Everyone said she had quite an average walk and quite an average voice. It was something she turned on at will. I stil...
The one way Michelle Williams did not embody Marilyn Monroe was that she showed up on time ... Everything else, she seemed to get Marilyn.
Marilyn Monroe is of course this iconic figure and so this allows you to have all this very grand music. She's a very exuberant figure, at least the reaction she elicits from men. And so it allows you for some joyous music as well.
