Weisz defends fiancé's brooding reputation
London, Dec 6 (IANS) Oscar winning actress Rachel Weisz insists her fianc Darren Aronofsky is not the dark, brooding type most people think he is.
Weisz says he is actually fun loving and loves watching game shows. Aronofsky has made some depressing movies like 'Requiem for a Dream' and 'Pi', reports contactmusic.com. She says: 'For someone who makes pretty intense dark movies, he's a very light-hearted, easy-going, light-spirited guy. His favourite TV show is 'The Price Is Right' - for real. One of his ambitions in life is to go on the show and I was trying to fix it for him but there's a very serious audition process.' .

How do you get people at a mall Cineplex to see an abstract meditation on death? Casting Wolverine and a recent Oscar winner may help. The Fountain stars Hugh Jackman as a man seemingly living in three time periods. Did he somehow live forever? And then why does Rachel Weisz pop up in each time? Weisz's main role is Izzy, a terminal cancer patient beyond chemotherapy. The husband, present day Hugh, is a cancer researcher racing to find a cure for her, because no one's thought of that before. Directed by Weisz's husband, Darren Aronofsky, the film gives vague hints about the timelines' connections, intercutting images to trippy music giving audiences an experience beyond life or death.
The Wave: Was your husband reluctant to cast you in this?
Rachel Weisz: It was Hugh's idea.
Look Before you Leap: Fighting Fraud by Making Informed Purchases
It seems to happen about the same time each day around 7:00 pm. I get a knock on my door and I am disappointed to see that the person standing there is not Cindy Crawford or Heidi Klum, but yet another annoying salesperson. Magazine subscriptions, candy, arts and crafts, whatever they are selling, I am usually buying. Thankfully, my purchases from door-to-door sales people don't cost me too much. Others, however, are not as lucky as more and more people are becoming victims of door-to-door sales fraud from purchasing products and services that are illegal, will never be delivered or are incomplete. Therefore, before you make a major purchase, it is smart to get the facts on a business from a completely honest, unbiased and invaluable source of information: the online business search. .
Dakota Fanning's feet firmly on the ground
If you asked Drew Barrymore what she got up to as a 12-year-old, she'd probably spin a yarn about bourbon and cocaine. Ask 12-year-old Charlotte's Web star Dakota Fanning, and the vices are a little different. "Nothing much," she says, peppily. "Just school and piano lessons and Spanish lessons. It's really an interesting language. I took the Mexican Spanish and the French Spanish and now I'm taking Sicilian which is the Spanish they speak in Europe." Fanning has been home-schooled since she was 4, but the Spanish lessons were her idea. That should give you an idea of how precocious she is, if you haven't already had the pleasure of watching her on film. So far she has won a Bafta for her role in I Am Sam, a second nomination for Man on Fire, and appeared genuinely terrified of the aliens in Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise.
