Salma Hayek and the Lack of Judgment

Lately, it seems as if Salma Hayek has lost her touch.

Until her trip to the Sierra Leone, she seemed to be slowly and surely building her career, culminating in her recent success bringing telenovela Ugly Betty to American television and her work providing products and services to mothers in developing countries. But her stint as a wet nurse ignited controversy.

And now she has made one of the biggest mistakes a person can make: she got married on Valentine’s Day. How tacky. And this is the kiss of death for a marriage. The only thing worse is getting each other’s named tatooed. (Don’t believe me about the tatoos? Ask Angeline Jolie, Heather Locklear, Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton, and Halle Berry.)

What do you think of our lady Salma these days? Think she was silly in getting married on Saturday? Think the brouhaha over her breast feeding incident was much ado about nothing?

Women Are Moving Beyond Their Franchises

Last week (was it really only a week ago?), the latest in the Underworld franchise was released, sans Kate Beckinsale. Now, there is talk of making a third Tomb Raider film without Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Rumors are swirling that Megan Fox will be the new Lara Croft.

These two women gained worldwide fame since the release of their action films, and now they have moved to more artistic endeavors.

Jolie has been ever-present at awards shows the past couple years, with her roles in A Mighty Heart and The Changeling.

Beckinsale has been very open lately about the fact that she made the Underworld movies and the abyssmal Van Helsing simply to make money to support her daughter. I am glad for Beckinsale that she can return to the types of movies that make her proud, not rich. My husband, of course, isn’t sure why anyone would bother seeing an Underworld movie with Beckinsale. (He is not alone, as one writer likened her decision to hatred of men.)
