Amy Adams buys a house with future husband

Hey everyone - before I get started on this new blog entry about Amy Adams, just wanted to thank you all for your lovely "welcome back" messages.; reading them truly made my day! I already know I won't be able to update the blog every day like I used to, but I'll try my best to do it at least once or twice a week. Anyways - back to what interest us more: Amy Adams.

I've just been informed that Amy has bought a house with future husband Darren Le Gallo. I have no idea where it is located, but my personal guess is on L.A as she spends most of her time there. I could be totally wrong though. She told PEOPLE magazine that given the slumpy economy, any time she wants to buy anything, she thinks: "This could be a whole set of towels or an extra cushion on my bed!' I'm being very practical now that I bought a house."

Despite suddenly being thrust into the limelight, in 2006 for her Oscar nomination in "Junebug", it wasn't as dramatic a change as the one Amy experienced last year with Enchanted so she's very cautious about her private life.

"Before Enchanted it was very manageable,'' she says. "Suddenly you realise you are not a private person any more. But it's OK ... it's just jarring, you know, to realise everything you do can be scrutinised.''

Amy Adams and co-star Meryl Streep attended a special screening Friday of "Doubt" at Brown's Hotel in London (see picture above and video here). They have now both arrived in Paris where they're going to present the drama "Doubt" Monday evening at the Theatre Edouard VII.

Amy Adams to attend Parisian Premiere of "Doubt"

Announcement x-posted on the "Amy Adams Fans" forum:

Hey guys!

Long time no see - how's everyone? God I miss you all! I've been pretty busy lately due to my new stressful job (I hate coming home late and leaving awfully early in the morning!) but I'm hoping to come back online more often. I know I have not updated this blog for a while and I apologize for it.

Sounds like it's been amazing for Amy these past few months. What did I miss? I was so excited to learn about her Golden Globe nomination! Seeing her work recognized on a regular basis for such a high distinction is wonderful. Bring on the Oscars!

Just wanted to inform you that the French Premiere of "Doubt" is on Monday January 19, 2009 in Paris. Meryl Streep, John Patrick Shanley and Amy Adams are all attending. They are expected to be on the red carpet at 7:30PM. Movie starts at 8:30PM. Here's a picture from the Theatre (they're going to put a giant screen). I'll try to leave work early as it is not very far from where I am.


Anyways- I better go or I'll be late for work! Take care everyone ;o)

Amy Adams and James Marsden sing "Let's' Misbehave"

Amy Adams and "Enchanted" co-star James Marsden attended the fourth annual "A Fine Romance" on November 9th -- the marriage between movies and Broadway, benefiting the Motion Picture and Television Fund.

The program launched with Jonathan Groff, then Kristin Chenoweth and Hugh Jackman duetted "Anything You Can Do" from "Annie Get Your Gun" from the stage into the audience -- preceded by the film's version. Neil Patrick Harris followed, as footage of Frank Sinatra's weddings to Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, then Alan Cummings and a clip of the Rock Hudson wedding. Amy Adams and James Dearden convinced us on on "Let's' Misbehave." The incomparable Donna Murphy and Zachary Levi followed the footage of Jimmy Cagney carboning, "I"m a Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "Give My Regards to B'way."

The screens lit up with footage of "West Side Story," and Audra McDonald and John Lloyd Young convinced us we were in a B'way palace. Everyone delivered like it was opening night on the Great White Way. Catherine Zeta-Jones returned in a slinky silver gown to deliver "Can't Help Lovin' That Man of Mine" from "Showboat" as footage showed the showboat -- as I saw it filmed -- steaming through Lot 3 of MGM (now a retirement community). Victor Garber and Donna Murphy gave us a lotta "Little Night Music" to recall fondly. James Marsden a la Frank Sinatra was backed by a gorgeous chorus line and "I Could Write A Book." And we could write a rave. Kristin Chenoweth took us memorably to "The Little Shop Around The Corner." And "Carousel" made an auspicious turn with Audra McDonald and Hugh Jackman as "If I Loved You" was again loved by this 2008 audience.

A timely (Proposition 8) theme was noted by Mauceri as he introduced the "Hairspray" reprise with the energetic Elijah Kelly and a dancing chorus of 12. Katherine proved terrific tap terping as well and at 9:45 the entire cast finale'd to "That's Entertainment." It certainly was. The show was produced by Dan Jinks and Lauremce Mark. Adam Shankman directed and choreo'd...Wolfgang Puck's platoons served the pre- and post-party but Wolfie was not on hand, as he was helping his son Byron celebrate his Bar Mitzvah with his friends at the Pacific Design Center. The adults helped him launch the day at Spago after the religious service. Mazel tov.

Amy Adams is crowned "Queen of Shaba"

Variety reports that Amy Adams will star in the indie drama "Daughter of the Queen of Sheba" for producers Susan Cartsonis and Matt Williams (What Women Want).

The script, written by Karen Croner based on the bio of NPR correspondent Jacki Lyden, centers on how a woman uses her mother's madness and delusions to empower herself.

Lyden was NPR's first correspondent on the air in the aftermath of 9/11 and went to Afghanistan soon after the Taliban fell. She's working on a book about the secret lives of a small group of Iraqi friends and reported on the slaying of her translator by an American soldier.
