Shots Interview
Q:
Have all these fictional explorations helped make your relationships
work in real life?
A:
I have no answers. Am I supposed to say that? This is my first movie
junket. My publicist is freaking out. I don't know. But I am madly in
love with someone. I've always been a serial monogamist.
Q:
What's his name?
A:
Brian Van Holt
Q:
Interesting. Brian replaced Dash Mihok on CBS's For Love or Money, and
you replaced Amelia Heinle, who played your role in the Jack & Jill
pilot. You guys must be on to something. Was it awkward joining the cast
late?
A:
It was fine. They were all great and really sweet about it. We're on our
fifth episode now, so it's over.
Q:
Why was the part recast?
A:
I don't know. Are you looking for some dirty drama? Because I ain't
gonna do it, I tell you!
Q:
Damn an actress with integrity! Okay, moving on...Is series television
work harder than making a movie?
A:
That's such a hard question. The thing about TV is the marathon aspect
of it. It's never ending, so the hours are really hard, and it's all
about pacing yourself and not trying to hit it out of the ballpark every
time - fight for every line, every hairdo, whatever. It's insulated;
it's like an insulated little story, so you can kind of design exactly
what you want to do in that little frame.
Q:
Everybody seems to agree you're on the verge of tremendous stardom. Do
you get recognized on the street yet?
A:
Every now and then, but it's usually a mistake. I have to say, "I'm
not Denise Richards!" We'll see.

Style Interview
Q:
What's your makeup philosophy?
A:
Less is more; most women look more beautiful in their natural state. My
grandmother used to wear so much makeup that there was a line at her
chin. If you're going to wear foundation, make sure it's rubbed
everywhere.
Q:
What do you carry in your makeup bag?
A:
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. MAC Studio powder in C2. Make Up For Ever
No. 2 black eye pencil - that's awesome. Kiehl's lip balm. A silver eye
shadow by Guerlain called Lilas No. 30. Stila eye shadows in Kitten and
Bouquet, and an eyebrow brush by Philosophy.
Q:
So, what do you use every day?
Lip
gloss, Origins Pinch Your Cheeks or Face Stockholm Strawberry blush, and
Make Up Forever pan stick under my eyes. On weekends I try not to wear
any makeup.
Q:
What about when you go out?
A:
Originas Original Skin Base, which gives really light coverage. Nars
Multiple highlighter stick in Copacabana, which you can put anywhere. I
use it at the inner corner of my eyes to open them up. Also, Stila
Kitten and Bouquet eye shadow, and mascara.
Q:
Do you like to shop for beauty products?
A:
Yes - I'm a menace in a drugstore. I'll open the shampoos and smell them.
I usually get bubble bath, anything with lavender in it. I'm obsessed
with lavender.
Q:
And clothes shopping?
A:
I admit it's one of my vices. The irony is that I usually just put on
the same pair of cords with the same little ripped-up tank top. I spend
money on nice clothes and never wear them. But they look nice in my
closet.
Q:
What's your favorite piece of clothing?
A:
It's a tie between what a call a shmatte - a floral dress that's not
really tight - and overalls.
Q:
Any food weaknesses?
A:
I've been obsessed with Blow Pops lately on set, but cheese is my
biggest weakness. If I had to give up cheese or chocolate, I'd give up
chocolate in a heartbeat. Cheese is my favorite thing in the whole world.
Q:
Other than that, do you watch what you eat?
A:
I take everything in moderation. The whole no-carbohydrate thing is a
little bit dramatic. I'm really into cooking right now, which is
probably healthy.
Q:
You have beautiful skin - -what's your routine?
A:
I use Epicuren Discovery facial cleanser, Epicuren Discovery Evening
Emulsion, and Bioelements Equalizer as a toner. In the morning, Decelor
Alpha Morning with SPF 12. It brightens the complexion. I use St. Ives
Apricot scrub once a week. I try to get regular monthly facials at Burke
Williams. I think the key to good skin is drinking lots of water and not
getting too stressed. I'm really terrible about both of these. I hate
water - I'd much rather drink Coca-Cola.
Q:
Do you have a secret weapon for maintaining your skin?
A:
Eight Hour cream by Elizabeth Arden. I put it on anything that's
horribly dry. I use it on my lips and my cuticles. It's literally magic.
My mom wore it when I was little, so the way it smells also has
sentimental value.
Q:
Any beauty obsessions you're willing to admit to?
A:
I do my eyebrows myself, like, five times a day, which is probably a big
mistake. I brush them, because I have huge, old-man spidery brows. I use
Origins Brow Fix. Sometimes when I don't have my Origins stuff, I dab
hair spray on my brows.
