Write a description about one of these photos. Don't write the number of the photo because your classmates are going to guess using your description. Think about colours, places, people, clothing, food and location. Be creative and write a story! What do you think is happening? What happened just before the photographer took the photo?

The Starlet

If I were a movie star... I'd be Natalie Portman

According to the movie star quiz I am Natalie Portman, The Starlet:

"Your simple, sophisticated style reminds people of classic Hollywood stars. Other young celebs party like crazy, but you'd rather see a play or read a great novel. You like to keep your private life private, but if the paparazzi track you down, you smile sweetly for the cameras. You'd never go out for coffee in ripped jeans or old sweatpants, because you don't want to disappoint your publicist (or your fans). You believe celebrities have a responsibility to look glamorous, so you dress up as often as possible."

My friends know I am secretly jealous of Natalie! I hate how popular she is! However, I am actually happy with this result. I think that if I were a Hollywood star I would need to be glamorous!

I have learnt to be patient, so if the paparazzi were chasing me with cameras I think I could deal with it.

I don't think my closest friends would be stars like Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton. I would prefer to hang out with people like Johnny Depp, Scarlet Johansson and Jake Gyllenhaal. I do enjoy partying but I also love to go hiking and swimming. I definately need time alone (I don't like to be around people all day long).

I would like to be in a range of movies from romance to thriller. As far as I know Natalie Portman hasn't acted in a horror film and that is something I would like to try. Also, Natalie and I have different movie choices because I would never like to act in Star Wars!!! aaaah! I really dislike fantasy/science fiction movies.

If you were a movie star....

Lights Camera Action!

If you managed to stay awake you might have seen the Academy Awards (otherwise known as "the Oscars") on Tuesday night. It's an important time of the year for the movie industry as "the Academy" recognises the best actors, directors, producers, script writers, editors and films.

It's also an important time for the magazines and fashionistas!! For some viewers the long walk on the red carpet is all they want to see. Who's wearing what designer? Versace, Gucci, Prada, Dolce and Gabana, Chanel, Dior, Fendi and Armani! The cameras are constantly flashing to get the best shot of the celebrities....

Today I want you to write about your favourite actor/actress. Take the movie star quiz and find our what kind of movie star you are. Do you agree with the results?
