Okay. Here goes this one.

#1 is a much bigger 2002 Pirelli tire calendar image of Julia. See my 'November 09, 2001 21:27' post in this thread for the text.
#2 is the "3gals" (from 10 Things) image we've had posted a couple years (eek) earlier.
#3 I do not recognize
#4 Is an autographed 'promo' from "Business of Strangers"
#5 Is a small on the set image of "A Guy Thing"
#7 I do not recognize
#8 Is the habitat for humanity image where she is snacking with the two kids. It was posted by hippiechick October 20, 2000 18:48 in a previous Julia News thread that was closed because it was flooded with pointless off topic chatter. The past has a way of repeating itself.

Methinks there are going to be lines.

Also, the New York papers change their archiving after seven days, want to charge and so I am having trouble locating material.

With the OFFICIAL OPENING in two weeks I would expect a flood of material. New York has four (4) of the top ten papers in the country and USA Today and the Wall Street Journal, both national, may cover this.

Oh, decisions, decisions.

Hey, at least they're throwing INK at Julia! "Better to looked over than overlooked (Mae West)!"

It’s mid-May, and finals week has just ended at Columbia University. Walking near campus, you can almost smell the giddy excitement in the air—or maybe it’s just the stale beer. Like hundreds of her fellow dorm-dwellers, Julia Stiles, rising young Hollywood star and sophomore English major, is packing up and moving out.
The long, narrow lobby if her dorm is dim and dingy, and no doubt home to more than a few members of the insect world. And if location is everything, well, the home of the 21-year-old actress who starred in the box office hit Save the Last Dance, the Controversial Othello update O, and David Mamets’s Sate and Main is next to a parking garage and a stone’s throw from an emergency room. No magazine (including this one) will be showing up to do a gauzy spread on Julia’s glamorous lifestyle.
After a year spent sharing a suite with six other students, you’d think Stiles would be ready for a little star treatment. Turns out, she likes living in noisy, cramped quarter. “A huge part of school foe me is hanging out with people my own age. I don’t get to do that in my work,” she says. “I also like that it’s a completely different world than acting. On a movie set, you have all theses people catering to your every need. ‘Can I get you this? Can I get you that?’ You can become very self-absorbed. In college you have to be self-sufficient.”
It’s not that Julia dislikes being famous; she admits she enjoys the fringe benefits she just insists they won’t change her. “ I don’t that that circumstances change people I think they bring out you’re true character. So I hope to maintain my sense of self in spite of what fame odes in my life. Because so many great things come with fame—even the stupid perks, like a table at a restaurant, getting into clubs, getting baseball tickets. I wear a Mets shirt to an awards ceremony and I get to meet the New York Mets! It’s incredible.”
Occasionally, though, Julia’s worlds collide, with uninviting results. “This year I went to the MTV Video Music Awards, “ she says. “And they sent this white stretch limo to wait outside my dorm room. So I come back from class, and I can see it a block away: this huge gleaming limo, and it says VMA/STILES on it. A sorority house is next door, and I can see these girls snidely looking, and this smart-ass kid from my dorm comes down in a tux and says, ‘I’m ready for my date, Julia. I was just mortified.”
Her fellow students seem to have gotten used to having a celebrity in their midst, and Julia, low-key by nature, usually has no trouble fitting in. But if you’re a college guy trying to strike up a conversation, it can be a little…. Intimidating. “I saw her at this bar with a bunch of her girlfriends,” says Jason Colombo, a handsome, brown-eyes 21-year-old who took International Politics with Julia. “I was like, ‘Do I go over? Do I not go over?’ So I yelled, ‘Hey, Julia, I want to talk to you.’ Already, I feel like a jerk but she says OK. So we start talking, about regular stuff. What I came away with is that she’s smart and funny and not at all stuck-up. She doesn’t think she’s too cool for the Columbia scene.” He pauses, looking slightly wistful. “And she has this smile, “ he says, “one of those smiles that touches you – that makes you smile.”

COMIC RELIEF
After several dramatic, edgy roles, Julia will get to make audiences smile when her romantic comedy A Guy Thing opens in September. She plays Becky, a freewheeling Tike dancer who mysteriously winds up in bed with an uptight guy—who turns out to be her cousin’s fiancé. Needled to say, hijinks ensue. “It’s really out there, full-on comedy,” she says.
Her costar, Jason Lee (Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous), admits that when he first met her, he wasn’t sure she could pull it off. “I was a bit apprehensive,” he says. “She struck me as a quiet, conservative, mild-mannered student. I thought, What if she’s just not funny But she was very funny. When things began to loosen up, suddenly she was being loud and doing accents and quoting from South Park. She’s a cool chick.”
For her part, Julia says that dorm life was good training for A Guy Thing. “As an actor, especially with comedy, you can’t be vain,” she says. “You have to be willing to make a fool of yourself and be silly. You can’t be self-conscious.”
Her director, Chris Koch, agrees. “And I have the outtakes to prove it, “ he laughs.” She has this scene where she makes toast, and during filming, she’d get up there and go for it and improvise. Some of it made us winces, and some of it had us falling on the floor laughing. But she was fearless.”
In fact, courage is something Julia, a native New Yorker, has never been short on. When she was 10, her parents, Judith and John, who run a ceramics company together, took her to see an Opera—about Charles Manson. Julia was so inspired by it that she wrote the director of the avant-garde theater company and asked him for a part. (He hired her.)
When she was 16, she became the youngest writer to be accepted to the Sundance Institute’s prestigious Screen writing Lab. Way before that “when I was little,” she says, “I wrote a letter [then New York City Mayor] Ed Koch saying I knew how to handle the sanitation system. Hopefully, I haven’t lost that spirit.”

“I AM WHAT I AM”
Julia Stiles hardly fits the usual profile of the sexy, young Hollywood up-and-comer, and she admits that it makes her anxious. “I get upset when I see actresses on the cover of Maxim, because I’m thinking, should I be doing that?”
It’s only momentary panic, though. Julia knows she’s not a Maxim kind of gal. She’s the girl who wrote the mayor when she was 8 and made a movie while attending an Ivy League school and is still braving the cockroaches in her dorm. “My mother had this cartoon on the refrigerator for a long time that showed Popeye at a job interview,” she says “And the interviewer said, ‘I am what I am and that’s all that I am. What the hell kind of resume is that?’ I always remember that. You always feel like you have to mold your personality, or the way you look, to fit the Hollywood model. And it’s nice to be reminded that I should remain an individual.”
THE END

this just remionds me of how cool she is.

It’s Dusk at LeMonde, a French bistro on upper Broadway, and Julia Stiles, twenty-one, the lanky, born-and-bread Manhattanite, the brainy Columbia University English major about to enter her junior year, and, oh yes, the Very Big Deal Movie Star, has just come from class, plopped herself down, ordered a cappuccino, and is now girding for a grilling. As smart and well spoken as her persona in films from 2001’s breakthrough hit Save the Last Dance to the new screwball comedy with Jason Lee, A Guy Thins, she’s equally adept at discussing art (“The fact that we have Picasso’s portrait of Gertrude Stein at our fingertips here in New York is incredible”) as she is at less, er, heady matters such as Blankey, her childhood blanket (“I still like to sleep with it,” but if a guy spends the night, “it goes in the closet”). Juggling a “frat boy, but that’s ok” boyfriend with preparations for her latest “dream role”—Viola in this summer’s New York Shakespeare Festival Central Park production of Twelfth Night—the feisty star begins today’s talk with a revelation sure to scuffle feathers of hairdressers across the land.

This is mostly business talk, but it is good for Julia.

Also, "Details Magazine" is using a cover phot of Julia in its renewal ad campaign, but I cannot locate it on the web.

Julia Stiles Signs on as Producer
(Katrillion) -- Julia Stiles can now add "producer" to her resume.

The 20-year-old actress is a partner in a new movie production company called Smithy's Films, according to Variety. The move could help Stiles secure more mature roles.

Other names behind the company include producer Eric Gitter, who was involved in "O," which Stiles co-starred in.

Currently Smithy's Films is involved in two projects, including a science-fiction movie that the company compares to "The Matrix."

Julia will be back in theaters this summer opposite Matt Damon in "The Bourne Identity."

GIRL POWER
Julia Stiles has just added a new title to her resume: Producer. The young actress has teamed up with one of her O producers, Eric Gitter, and home video distributor Steve Scavelli, to form a new production company called Smithy's Films. The New York City-based company will look for potential star projects for 21-year-old Stiles, and the company hopes to serve as a catalyst to move her career out of teen projects and into more mature roles that Julia feels passionately about. Two projects are currently in development, one is a book adaptation and the other is a sci-fi production...

I'm wondering what's up with these two flicks mentioned?

Thanks for the news!

"Sometimes when you look close enough, you will laugh at how stupid it is that you care."
--Einstien

"At the core of the play is Stiles' Viola. The seductively petite young actress has shown and affinity for Shakespeare in several of her movies (Hamlet, O), but the maturity she displays in films doesn't completely carry over onto the stage. She makes an appealingly valiant attempt. And she improves as the play proceeds. But too often, she seems to be merely recitying lines, her vouice outpacing her heart."

-Lawrence Frascella

(Katrillion) -- Julia Stiles could end up in a big-screen musical with "Sopranos" star James Gandolfini.

Stiles, who proved she could get jiggy on the dance floor in "Save the Last Dance," is considering a role in the upcoming "Romance and Cigarettes," according to Variety. The song-and-dance movie was written by actor John Turturro and will be directed by Joel and Ethan Cohen.

Turturro has worked with the Cohen brothers before. He has starred in a string of their movies, including the Oscar-nominated and Grammy-winning musical "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Other actors who are in talks to join the cast of "Romance" are Christopher Walken, who showed off his dancing skills in Fatboy Slim's music video "Weapon of Choice," Susan Sarandon, and Turturro's sister Aida, who plays Gandolfini's on-screen sister on "The Sopranos." Adam Sandler, who starred with Turturro in "Mr. Deeds," is also being considered for a cameo in the movie.
