Emmanuelle Chriqui Opens Up To Women's Health Magazine
Emmanuella Chriqui, one of the stars of 'Entourage,' recently opened up to Women's Health Magazine. She has a lot to say about the state of diversity in Hollywood today!
Embracing her uniqueness:
“There’s been a massive shift of consciousness. We have an African American president, there’s been a huge influx of Latin talent in mainstream music and film, and there’s a real audience for international films like Slumdog Millionaire. Guess what? The girl next door isn’t necessarily blonde and blue-eyed anymore. So I don’t feel like I need to morph into that All-American thing. Now it’s about accepting who you really are and being proud of that. When you have confidence that’s what becomes attractive to other people and makes them want to work with you and spend time with you.”
“There have been some incredible things that I’ve lost out on because I don’t fit the {all-American} mold. It can be frustrating.”
After filming Zohan, Chriqui tried to audition for another part and the producer wouldn’t see her:
“It was like, ‘NO – not the look we’re going for.’ Period.”
Scrutinizing her exotic appearance:
“I’ve thought to myself, ‘What hair color will make my hair look lighter but won’t look weird?’ or ‘Are these contacts I can wear to not come off quite as exotic as I am?”
Tons more after the jump!
Celebrities Arrive To The Costume Designers Guild Awards
Quite a few celebrities attended the 11th Annual Costumer Designers Guild Awards held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills last night looking phenomenal. Of course it's a Costume Awards ceremony so several ladies were on their best fashion behavior.
- Kristin Davis looked classic in a red cocktail dress.
- Emmanuelle Chriqui wore a lovely white floor length gown with jeweled halter.
- Jennie Garth was golden in a Grecian inspired gown.
- Melissa George choose a nude floral off the shoulder dress and complimented it with a Old Hollywood hair style. Very Veronica Lake.
- Debra Messing was probably one of my favorite looks last night with a peach bejeweled strapless gown. But what do we think about that tiara?
Who's look did you like the best? Least?
