Keira Knightley Campaigns for Women in Afghanistan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Kind Acts,
Keira Knightley and Salma Hayek are campaigning for women's rights in Afghanistan.
The actresses are among a number of celebrities who have put their name to a letter which has been sent to UK Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of International Women's Day on March 8, asking him to assure help in the country.
Afghanistan has a fragile political infrastructure, and while its people are embracing great change in 2014 - with elections and the withdrawal of international troops - many are concerned about how women, whose rights have increased a great deal in the last decade, will be treated in future.

Salma Hayek Searching for Perfect London Pad
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Salma Hayek is house-hunting in London.
The 47-year-old actress and her French husband Francois-Henri Pinault - who have a five-year-old daughter, Valentina Paloma, together - are searching for the perfect pad in the English capital to act as a base when Salma is filming in the UK.
"Francois-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek intend to rent a house in London where Hayek already spends a lot of time, especially for her film career. Pinault will not be domiciled in the UK and remains a French resident," a spokesperson confirmed to The Sunday Times newspaper.
Salma was initially spotted leaving top hotel Claridge's with a top London property agent on Thursday and spent the day viewing family homes in the city's most exclusive areas including Belgravia, Kensington and Notting Hill, the paper reports.

Salma Hayek: ‘I’m a Pushy Mother’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Birthdays, Features,
Salma Hayek can be a pushy mother. The Savages actress used to think she was a "laid back" mom until she had a party for her daughter Valentina - who turned five today - and found she was pushing through crowds of children to make sure her little girl had a candy.
"I make an effort to be laid back and often I want to giver her space, and then I catch myself doing things. In Paris I had a birthday party with a pinata with kids, who were Mexican, they were boys and they were older. She was really concerned she wouldn't be able to take a candy when the pinata broke. I said, 'Don't worry.' When the pinata broke, she couldn't get in, I was pushing them, trying to get in. And then I caught myself and I thought, 'I've turned into one of those mothers!' I moved away. I think I'm a bit of both. I think we all are," she said.
Despite Valentina being the daughter of an Oscar-nominated actress and a billionaire father - French fashion mogul Francois Henri Pinault - Salma thinks her offspring wants to become a gymnast because of the London Olympics. "She's into the gymnastics because of the Olympics. It's amazing how she points her toes, like a little bird or something. She's doing it every day," she added.
Salma’s Husband Settles Child Support
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Legal Issues,
The child support case between Salma Hayek's husband and Linda Evangelista has been settled.
The 46-year-old supermodel has been in embroiled in a battle which saw her ask for $46,000 per month from Hayek's current partner Francois-Henri Pinault. Evangelista was due to take the stand in court on Monday but a deal was struck up before the appearance, according to the New York Post. Although the terms are undisclosed, the matter seemed to have been solved and both sides are said to be happy with the result.
"Everybody's glad for the sake and the benefit of the child that it's done," David Aronson, the billionaire father's lawyer, said outside the courthouse.
The pair have five-year-old son Augie together, while Pinault married his current wife, Puss In Boots actress Hayek in 2009. The two have a four-year-old daughter Valentina together. The businessman also has two other children from a previous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2004.

It’s official: Reese Witherspoon is off the market. The Oscar-winning actress exchanged vows over the weekend with beau Jim Toth, who is also her agent. The two have been dating for about a year and a half.
The ceremony was held at Witherspoon’s California ranch before approximately 100 guests. Renee Zellwegger, Alyssa Milano, Robert Downery Jr., Tobey Maguire and Salma Hayek were among those in attendance.

Attendants included Reese’s daughter Ava, 11, and son Deacon, 7. Both children were produced during her 7-year marriage to first husband Ryan Phillippe, who was definitely not at the event.

VIDEO: Salma Hayek Scared of Snakes, Eats Bugs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Videos,
Salma Hayek is definitely a woman who can keep you on your toes.
Although Hayek was recently caught on camera screaming after a snake spotting, it turns out her fear doesn’t necessarily extend to all things that crawl.
In this interview with David Letterman, the Mexican actress explains how much she loves dining on certain “delicatessens” (her word, not mine) like fried escamoles (ant eggs) with guacamole. In fact, just talking about bug-gy meals is enough to make the 43-year-old salivate.

Salma Hayek Secretly Weds
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Weddings,
If you were one of Salma Hayek‘s Facebook friends, you would have seen a lot of activity in the relationship department this year. In less than 12 months, the actress has gone from “engaged”...to “single”...to “dating”...to married.
This past Saturday, the Frida star and her on-and-off beau were wed in the The City of Lights. The Parisian ceremony, held at a city hall, happened eight months after Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault called off their previous engagement.
Pinault, the father of Salma’s 17-month old daughter, Valentina, and Salma began dating back in 2006. Although they became engaged in March 2007, Salma told Oprah last year that she wasn’t in a rush to run down the aisle. Several months after that conversation, her relationship with the 46-year-old billionaire (coincidentally?) came to an end.
Rumors of a rekindled romance started surfacing weeks before the Valentine’s Day nuptials.

Salma Hayek No Longer Engaged
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Break-ups,
I think I’m going to blame this on the Oprah curse.
Just recently, Drew Barrymore and boyfriend Justin Long announced they had split after nearly a year together. This (fairly) surprising news came just months after the two looked all lovey on the daytime talk show. Now Salma Hayek, an Oprah Winfrey guest back in April, is experiencing relationship woes of her own.
Earlier this year, the Frida actress gabbed with the host about her new baby girl and her fiance Francois-Henri Pinault, a French billionaire. Although the couple had been engaged since March 2007, the two did not seem to be in any hurry to marry.
Salma told Winfrey, “After I got pregnant, I don’t know why, [but] the [ceremony] part of it is not necessary because we have such a huge commitment for each other. I don’t know that we have to go through the rituals.”
