After an awards ceremony, sites and blogs dedicated to gossip and style use make balance about the event, the actors and the actresses, the outfits,... etc. And the same thing has been with the SAG Awards, our Michelle is headed the lists of the best dressed at the event among other actress.

Superchismosa.com places Michelle among the best dressed and says: "When you’re as gorgeous as Michelle Pfeiffer big ballroom gowns and splashy fashion statements only detract from the miracle of your ageless beauty.
So big kudos to Michelle for choosing a look that doesn’t shout “I’ve still got it!” but whose classic elegance and perfect fit keeps her from fading into the sunset."

And Egossip.com, another blog put Angelina Jolie, Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Longoria as Best Dressed. About Michelle, they say: "Michelle Pfeiffer was the epitome of sexy on the red carpet last night. Dressed in a knee-length, body-hugging light brown dress, the 49-year-old actress turned heads as she gracefully entered Shrine Auditorium. A sophisticated up-do, simple jewelry and matching peep-toe shoes finished off Michelle's award-winning look."

Also the Spanish magazine Hola (older sister of international Hello) places Michelle among Cate Blanchett, Jolie and Longoria as the best.

Such as I reported yesterday, Michelle Pfeiffer attended the 14th Screen Actor Guilt Awards at Shrine Auditorium yesterday... and she came back to be stunning like always.

Michelle was probably wearing one of the most understated frocks of the evening, she walked the red carpet with an easy-elegant Versace from the pre-fall 2008 collection in brown with Neil Lane's Darkened platinum and diamond chandelier earrings and crocodile clutch. Also she wore her hair up for a change.

After the huge uncertainty about who will be the actress to play Lea in Cheri, Jessica Lage or Michelle Pfeiffer, the movie which will be directed by Stephen Frears with script of Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons) based upon the 1920 novel by Collette.

Now there are new clues... in an interview published in Boston.com, Bill Kenwright, actor, Broadway producer and director, tells:

"I've got a movie starting in a few weeks directed by Stephen Frears and starring Michelle Pfeiffer ['Cheri,' based on a story by Colette]"

So, if it is true, it seems the project should be pretty closed. Let's hope...

Pfans have been able to see the first event of Michelle Pfeiffer this year a new look (I guess the haircut is the inheritance after Personal Effects), alongside husband David E Kelley, and it was yesterday at the opening night of "Come Back, Little Sheba" at Biltmore Theatre in New York City.

Also attended the event Whoopi Goldberg (Michelle's co-star in The Deep End On The Ocean) and actors Elaine Orbach, Frances O'Connor, Sam Waterston, Sherri Shepherd and Tamara Tunie among others.

The play tells the story of Lola, a faded beauty queen trapped in a lonely marriage to Doc, a recovering alcoholic on the brink of relapse. When a pretty young woman becomes a boarder in their cluttered Midwest home, their lives are unsettled as unspoken passions rise to the surface. As the emptiness of their marriage is laid bare, can they find their way back to each other or will they be undone?

Celebrated playwright William Inge explores these powerful themes in "Come Back, Little Sheba", a true American classic about lost hopes and unfulfilled promise, told with unflinching honesty and heartbreaking power.

Emmy Award® winner and Tony Award® nominee S. Epatha Merkerson ("Law and Order," Lackawanna Blues) and Tony nominee Kevin Anderson (Death of a Salesman) head the cast of this new production directed by Emmy winner Michael Pressman, director of David E Kelley's "Picket Fences" and "To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday" written by Kelley and starred by Michelle Pfeiffer.

Gil Netter (“Eragon”), Insight Film Studio’s Kirk Shaw (“Battle in Seattle”) and Tadora´s Christian Arnold-Beutel have produced, with CineFilm´s Tim McGrath executive producing. i

The film has already been pre-sold in over 25 territories including Europe, Asia, and Latin America by Voltage Pictures.

Insight Film Studios was founded in 1997 and it is Canada's largest and most prolific independent television and film production studio and one of the largest producers of film and television movies in North America.

I'd like to thank Insight for the interest and consideration to us for providing us this information a the new exclusive pictures.

According the DailyMail, Michelle Pfeiffer is certainly enjoying her career's second act. Now she's got the awardwinning director Stephen Frears after her to star in a movie where she seduces a young man 30 years her junior. Michelle has just finished the filming of Personal Effects (officially in post-production now) with Ashton Kutcher in Vancouver.

The wooing's at an early stage, but it can be seen Ms Pfeiffer would be ideal to play the 50-year-old courtesan who entices a vain young man into her boudoir, and keeps him there.

The film's called Cheri (that's the chap's name). Pfeiffer, if she agrees, would play Lea. Christopher Hampton has adapted Colette's story Cheri, set in pre-World War I Paris. "He has no experience of sex, while Lea has years of it," Hampton has told.

Frears and Hampton worked with Pfeiffer 20 years ago on Dangerous Liaisons, which as it happens was also about lessons in seduction.

On the other hand, according the IMDb board, Jessica Lange has been for years trying to get the book Colette's Cheri made into a film, a few years back she managed through Bill Kenwright to get Christopher Hampton to write the screenplay. Up to last May they were ready to start production after she finished her run of the play The Glass Menagerie in the West End, but now that Stephen Frears has come on board she has been told that at 58 years of age she is too old to play the 50 years old heroine of the book, they asked her to leave and has offered the part to 49 years old Michelle Pfeiffer instead.

In an interview of 4 days ago, Lange seemed pretty hurt about it but she held her dignity. At the moment Pfeiffer is still considering the project. Many people bet she does agree to do Cheri. Meanwhile, Hampton's hot himself because of his superb screenplay for Joe Wright's Atonement, which landed 14 Bafta nominations, including one for Hampton's screen adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel.

News about I Could Never Be Your Woman in Italy!

Last week we reported about the launch of the movie directly on DVD in Italy the next 6th February with a new title "2 YOUNG 4 ME", now Roberto Fioravanti, a long time pfan of Michelle and this web, reports us about the situation of the movie there, in Italy.

According Roberto, it seems right what I said, several sites announce the editing on DVD (only for renting, at the moment) of "2 Young 4 Me - Un fidanzato per mamma". But... on the other hand, this film is NOW in some theatres in Milan and Rome!!... with the original title.

The distribution company is Andrea Leone Films, a little company owned by the family of the famous Italian director Sergio Leone (the inventor of "spaghetti western" and director of most of movies with Clint Eastwood), dead in 1989, Andrea Leone is one of the sons.

We can found some references of the movie at: CinemaAvvenire.it, LombardiaCultura.it, Cinelandia.it, Film.tv.it and Cinemaz.it.

Besides, Roberto reports us that the film has been rated and approved for release by the "Ministero dei Beni Culturali" (The Ministry of Culture) you can see about it in the following page (look for the title at position No. 192): click on here.

Really I think it is a rare news, knowing the movie will be on stores (or for rent) the upcoming month and in the same time on cinemas... In my opinion, it is really a pity that not many countries have bet on this funny movie such as Spain did...

Thanks Roberto for reporting us.

Since we reported the sad news about the direct-launch on DVD in USA of this damned movie, I Could Never Be Your Woman, there have been more news around the film in the world:

Firstly the movie was already launched in Argentina the past 3rd of January (titled like in Spain: El Novio de Mi Madre -My Mother's Boyfriend-) getting the 6th place in the Box-Office; A good result seeing the number of cinemas where it has been released (many less than the other movies above...). The movie has earned around $75,000.

We can think it hasn't been a flop at all!! Although the reviews haven't been too good.

Other good news is that the movie will be launched too in United Kingdom, Ireland and Malta the upcoming 8th of February... let's hope to see how it works there. Let's remember the nationality of the movie is UK.

And now the bad news: Italy, another important European market also has decided launch the movie directly on Dvd, according Isa who reports us from Italy, it's going to be released on 6th February by "Mondo Home Entertainment" with a new title "2 YOUNG 4 ME - Un fidanzato per mamma" (2 YOUNG FOR ME - A boyfriend for mom")... really awful title...

Thanks Isa for reporting us.

Now a New Year has beggining and we have to add a new name to Michelle Pfeiffer's Style: according San Francisco Chronicle, Michelle, among other celebrities such as Kate Hudson, is fan of Elizabeth Charles, an eponymous boutique stocked with Australia and New Zealand's top labels. Karen Walker and Collette Dinnigan are the only labels most shoppers might recognize; the rest (Scanlan & Theodore, Kirrily Johnston, Mala Brajkovic, Anna Thomas and Ginger & Smart) aren't carried anywhere else in the United States except at Charles' other boutique, in New York's Meatpacking District. "I don't buy anything that's boring or that you can find in the United States," she says. "Everything has to be special.".
