Thandie Slams Celebs
The fame game can grate on some celebs.
Surely it should be about talent rather than posh frocks?
Thandie Newton has hit out at the flim-flam side of stardom.
She said: "Celebrity these days is just about wearing something plunging on the red carpet.
"There's such a hunger for fast-food celebrity. When you ask a kid these days what they want to be they say, 'I want to be famous.'
"That didn't happen when we were little. You wanted to be famous for a reason."
While the Crash star is no stranger to stylish garb herself, she blames attention-grabbing clothing for the rise of the fame-for-fame's sake celeb status.
Miss Newton went on: "I think Liz Hurley wearing that Versace dress (to the Four Weddings premiere in 1994) started it all but anyone can wear a gorgeous dress."
Aahh, how refreshing her words are to our ears.

Thandie praised on BBC
Thandie was the best on the day Graham Norton has just said this live on the BBC
Thandie from BBC Blog
One could not help feeling sorry for actress Thandie Newton who appeared on stage to deliver her environmental message and to introduce Al Gore live from Washington.
Thandie Newton resorted to talking about George Clooney. However the Hollywood A-lister was left hideously high and dry on stage after being told in her ear-piece that Gore was not yet ready.
"I've always wanted to stand in front of 2 billion people with nothing entertaining or interesting to say," she joked before talking about the sexiness of George Clooney.
Desperation got the better of her though as she resorted to telling Wembley a knock knock joke (which I doubt will be included in the highlights of the event).
No one seemed to understand it, nevertheless the good natured crowd gave her a huge cheer anyway as she left the stage.

its Thandie and they still are leather jeans, why is this vanishing?
Thandie Newton Live Earth
British actress Thandie Newton, who starred in the Oscar-winning film Crash, told the crowd:"Someone once said that with power comes responsibility. They did not mean it quite literallybut the fact is we have to conserve power and use it responsibly."
If every household in the UK switched their appliances off instead of leaving them on standby then "we could save enough CO2 to fill this stadium nearly 450 times over", she said.
"All this in a flick of a switch."
She continued: "We have to lead by example, not simply look to our leaders."
tells us another joke please, i think they are leather jeans
Thandie Newton got more than she bargained for, and Al gets the message across, finally...
BAFTA Winning actress Thandie Newton was stuck on the stage without a script, when Al Gore failed to materialize for a link in the States.
With nothing to say, she won the crowd over by claiming that "Coming to live earth increases our attractiveness to a potential mate about 200% - say you've come to Live Earth is a way of saying you're hung like a war lord!" Hmmm, wonder who she's been getting down with...
She went on to tell a joke about a big horse and Londoner which wasn't really that funny but she was just so gorgeous and she dealt with it all so well, it was hard not to love her for it!!

Oh dear...Thandie is having to fill here. Already doing better than Gervais though.
Hope Ricky's learning a valuable lesson from Thandie right now
Thandie making a much better job of "filling" than Gervais did last week.
That's what I was thinking.At least she is trying.
Dance little woman, dance!
What is she on about? She's dying worse than Gervais!
Is Thandie OK what an earth was all that
Afternoon all! Er, how was Thandie better than Ricky G last week? She didn't die on her butt. Good for her.
Poor Thandie.She did the best she could. She's an actress not a comedian or entertainer. Good on her!
"Hung like a warlord"??? What was she blabbering about??
Is she still banging on in the background? I can't see how she was any better thanRicky Gervais - singing "I'm a Londoner"?!!??!!
Yees, that's true, but you'd have thought they could have prepared a filler given that she was linking to a live broadcast!

Exciting times on the stage inbetween bands. It looks like she was meant to be going live to Al Gore but the link didn't seem to be working. Here's some of what she said to pass the time...
"Going to the Live Earth gig is the equivalent to saying "I'm hung like a war lord.... I was hanging out with George Clooney recently and he became so much hotter since he got that little electric car ...congratulations, you're saving the Earth and making yourself more juicy... Al, if you're feeling sexy, will you please come live from Washington..."
Amazing. The power fails, she tells a joke about being a big horse and a Londoner that we didn't even understand

3.48 Thandie Newton is having to fill because Al Gore's not ready. Do the David Brent dance, Thandie! Oh, now she's telling knock knock jokes. This is brilliant.

THANDIE'S NICE GUY
Friday July 6,2007
Mission Impossible star Thandie Newton is relishing filming Guy Ritchie’s latest gangster caper – because she’s the only woman star.
“It’s great, I’m working with all these big men,” joked the petite actress, who is shooting Mr Madonna’s new film, RocknRolla, with Phantom Of The Opera star Gerard Butler and Full Monty actor Tom Wilkinson.
“It is fun and very interesting to have the chance to observe boys doing the boy things. I am very much enjoying being the only girl,” she told us at the Great Ormond Street F1 party at The Worx in London’s Parsons Green.
And Thandie, 34, says that being directed by Guy is a dream. “He is so easy to work with,” she gushed.
“I think people who loved Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels will enjoy this movie – it carries on in that vein but at the same time it’s a departure for him.”
