Cate Blanchett Feels That Her Projects Choose Her
Cate Blanchett sat down with Vogue to share about topics such as her career and her relationshiop with her husband, playwright Andrew Upton .
Cate says that she's not tempted to be cautious with her career choices:
"I'm not very cautious or careful. It's always been more about having a variety of experiences than any planned trajectory...I think that in a way, projects choose you."
Cate has spent the last few years performing and directing plays in Sydney, Australia and now she is currently gearing up to play Blanche DuBois in Tennessee William's 'A Streetcar Named Desire.'
On her relationship with her husband and the time they spend together in the theater:
"We do live in each others' pockets a bit, but that feels natural. It doesn't feel cramped in there at all."
On the benefits that working regular hours has given their three boys:
'There are so few experiences in our manicured, nanny-stated existence that have the quality of circus. Theater still does." And so, when the boys aren't playing with friends, they can usually be found playing backstage. "They're always engaged in the family business, so to speak.'"
Cate's next movie is Robin Hood, due out in May of 2010 and it co-stars Russell Crowe. I look forward to everything she is in. Is she one of your favorites, too?

Cate Blanchett Suffers Head Injury During A Live Performance
Oh my goodness! Cate Blanchett was performing onstage in an Australian production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' when she was hit in the head by a prop.
"There was a minor incident on stage that unfortunately did injure
Cate," he said. "...There was a moment when another actor lifted the prop
above his head and she somehow sustained a minor blow to the head."
Cate reportedly wasn't taken to the hospital, although it sounds like it wasn't minor, according to an eyewitness account.
An audience member tells the Sydney Morning Herald that "she had blood streaming down the back of her head and blood on the back of her neck."
"She acted for about another 30 seconds, then ran into what we thought
was the next scene, but before we knew it the lights were turned on and
we were told there were technical difficulties and everyone had to
evacuate the Sydney Theatre Company."
Although they stopped last night's performance, a theatre spokesman said Cate is expected back onstage tonight. Sounds scary, but I'm glad it wasn't more serious!

Cate Blanchett In In Style Magazine
Today's a big day for celebrity magazine spreads! We just saw Jessica Szohr in Men's Health and now here's Cate Blanchett doing InStyle.
She looks absolutely STUNNING! Really though, this woman can do no wrong. Cate would look gorgeous in a paper bag so it's not as if the stylist for the photo shoot had their work cut out for them, right?
How do we feel about the all-leather skirt/suit outfit? Something you'd wear to work every day right? :)
ONTD.
Celebrities On Stamps?
Oscar-winners Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush and Russell Crowe are all currently featured on special-edition 55-cent stamps in Australia. The stamps show the actors in their most famous roles, and as themselves out of character.
"Something like this - when you see your face on a stamp - says 'wow,' " Kidman said about the honor.
What do you think about this idea? Would you buy a stamp if it had your favorite celebrity on it?

Cate Blanchett's Husband Is Very Much Against Plastic Surgery
Well, isn't this refreshing! Cate Blanchett's husband doesn't want the actress to ever get plastic surgery. Andrew Upton likes Cate just the way she is.
"I haven't done anything, but who knows. Andrew [Upton] said he'd divorce me if I did anything. I'm not a trophy. He likes the vessel, but he also wants to make sure the vessel is full."
In her new interview with Vanity Fair, the actress says she isn't obsessed with her looks because of her healthy upbringing and true love for acting.
"I'm not a spokesperson against the world of injectables," The
39-year-old actress says. "If you grow up in an environment where your
mother gets you a boob job when you turn 18, what hope is there? But I
didn’t grow up in that world."The reason I went to train as an actor was that I was interested in
it for the long haul," she adds. "You can become very self-obsessed,
but you've got to keep looking outward."
Besides, a body is supposed to change after having children... and in Cate's situation, make that THREE children.
"When you've had children, your body changes; there's history to it.
I like the evolution of that history; I'm fortunate to be with somebody
who likes the evolution of that history. I think it's important to not eradicate it. I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person..."
So, is that is for Andrew and Cate or will the couple have more kids? Only time will tell.
"Who knows? Don't close those doors. The world is very overpopulated,
but we do make nice ones. They all look like Andrew. To say
he has dominant genes would be an understatement."
She's so talented and down to Earth. Love this actress!
Cate Blanchett For Vogue
The beautiful and ever so talented Cate Blanchett graced the cover of British Vogue looking as stunning as ever. In the article, the actress confesses that she has a hard time getting rid of clothing - holding onto them until they literally fall apart! Are you like Cate in that sense?
"I've got fewer'dry clean only' clothing these days. Really, I keep
things for a long time because I form attachments to certain bits til
they literally fall apart. My wardrobe's a mess!"
And when asked if she likes the attention, Cate admits that everyone is slightly narcissistic.
We're all narcissistic, we all want people to have opinions of us - good or bad; we all want to be the heroes of our own narratives.
