Da PRIMISSIMA - Coetanea di Brosnan. Di buona e ricca famiglia del Sud (Georgia). Inizia come modella. Anche per lei il grande successo arriva grazie a James Bond, nel 1983, con Mai dire mai accanto a Sean Connery. Bella da morire, nel 1986 diventa il sex symbol planetario grazie a Nove settimane e mezzo di Adrian Lyne. E' anche brava e lo dimostra in Appuntamento al buio (1987) di Blake Edwards e Batman (1989) di Tim Burton. Negli anni 90 il declino, a causa di scelte sbagliate (rifiuta il ruolo di Basic Instinct, andato poi a Sharon Stone e quello di Boxing Helena che gli costerà di penale 10 milioni di dollari) e di una relazione tumultuosa con Alec Baldwin. Si dedica anche ad operazioni finanziarie in grande stile, acquistando, a capo di un gruppo di investimenti, la cittadina di Braselton in Georgia. Sembra determinata a lasciare il cinema. Ma intanto deve superare una difficile depressione e perfino una forma acuta di agorafobia. Nel 1993 sposa Boldwin e diventa madre di una bambina, Ireland. Nel 1994 Altman le affida un ruolo in Pret a porter, poi nel 1997 vince l'Oscar per L.A. Confidential, nel ruolo di una delle più memorabili dark ladies della storia del cinema. Nel 2000 il romantico ed esotico Sognando l'Africa e l'horror Bless the child, nel 2002 è la madre di Eminem in 8 mile, e la donna di Al Pacino in People I Know. Vegetariana, combattiva animalista, adesso è la protagonista del thriller Cellular con un partner giovanissimo come Chris Evans.

Hollywood action thriller "Cellular" will hit digital screens in China's cinemas on 15th April. Since the Chinese translation of the movie' name "Cellular" clashes with Feng Xiaogang's New Year film "Cell Phone" in 2003, this movie has adopted another Chinese title when promoted in China. Though with a same name with Feng Xiaogang's film, this Hollywood tale tells a totally different story. This thriller begins with a man recieving random wrong number to his cell phone that sends the young man into a high-stakes race against time to save a woman's life. It directed by David R. Ellis and stars Chris Evans, Kim Basinger and Jessica Biel.

Kim Basinger goes nuts for mutts - Animal lover Kim Basinger and her only child Ireland shared a mother-daughter day for a canine cause at the Nuts For Mutts dog show in Los Angeles on Sunday. Kim, who hosts the mixed breed extravaganza, has been a longtime supporter of the fun-filled fundraiser. Dressed down in a sweatshirt and baseball cap, the all-American beauty, microphone in hand, kept things rolling with her nine-year-old daughter at her side. The Oscar winner joined fellow stars such as Beverly Hills 90210's Tori Spelling and The Hours actress Alison Janney to cheer on enthusiastic pups competing for such tongue-in-cheek titles as Best Kisser, Fastest Eater, Most Vocal and best Mystery Mutt. Money raised by the event benefits New Leash On Life, a non-profit organization that rescues and rehabilitates homeless pets.

Whedon on filling the Wonder-Bra - Joss Whedon caught up with TV Guide this week and announced that he's still a few month's shy of finding someone to fill the "Wonder" Bra. Says the former Sunnydale resident, "Everybody is in agreement that casting is not an issue right now. It's not a vehicle to be built around a particular star. We want to write the thing, find the right character and then figure out who should play her. There are various famous people whose names have come up, because that always happens, but you know, we're talking about Wonder Woman here. Those are tough booties to fill." So, Kim Basinger? "I think we will go a little younger than the traditional idea of Wonder Woman," he says, adding that the new Princess Diana will likely be in her early twenties and played by someone outside the Buffyverse. "It's a movie, not a party for my friends." Sounds like rumoured frontrunner Jessica Biel might be in with a chance after all.

Whedon Woos "Wonder Woman" - Joss Whedon has tackled ghastly aliens and dastardly vampires. So, why not work on something Wonder-ful? The Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind has officially lassoed the writing and directing job on Warner Bros.' big-screen version of Wonder Woman, the studio announced Thursday.  "We are excited about working with Joss," Warner Bros. Pictures President Jeff Robinov said in a statement. "He brings great energy and creativity to the process."  Added Whedon: "Wonder Woman is the most iconic female heroine of our time, but in a way, no one has met her yet. What I love most about icons is finding out what's behind them, exploring the price of their power."  Whedon has a thing for iconic female hero types, considering he dreamed up kick-ass vampire nemesis Buffy and helped write the script for Alien: Resurrection, featuring the E.T.-battling Sigourney Weaver.  The live-action Wonder Woman will be produced by Leonard Goldberg and Joel Silver, the Hollywood mogul responsible for setting up the The Matrix trilogy at Warner Bros. "When Joel and I began discussing the character, I realized there is a woman behind the legend who is very fascinating, very uncompromising and in her own way almost vulnerable," says Whedon. "She's someone who doesn't belong in this world, and since everyone I know feels that way about themselves, the character clicked for me." Created by DC Comics' Charles Moulon during World War II, Wonder Woman was the first female super to score her own comic book. Wonder Woman is the alter ego of Amazon princess Diana, who lives on the uncharted Paradise Island. When a pilot named Steve Trevor crashes nearby, Diana rescues him. Upon learning of the battle with the Nazis, Diana returns with Trevor to help topple Hitler. She derives her superhuman strength from a magic belt, can deflect bullets with her bracelets, uses her tiara like a boomerang and has a golden lariat that forces people to tell the truth. She also flies around in an invisible plane. The original comic was set in the 1940s, as was the first season of the Lynda Carter-starring TV series in 1976. In the subsequent two season, however, the show was updated to the present day. Whedon is still trying to work out the details of his script, including the setting and how to make Wonder Woman palatable to movie-going audiences that generally don't dig female superheroes (Catwoman and Elektra, anyone?). It's not the first time Warner Bros. has attempted to resurrect Wonder Woman. Six years ago, the studio put out a nationwide casting call for a statuesque beauty to fill the spangled bustier in a TV remake, but that project was eventually shelved due to script problems. No word yet on who'll play Whedon's leading lady Diana, but the Internet rumor mill has been churning out names like Rosario Dawson, Jessica Biel, Buffy vets Charisma Carpenter and Eliza Dushku, and even Kim Basinger, for an older, wiser Wonder Women. Warners didn't announce a timetable for the new Wonder Woman. Whedon, meanwhile, recently wrapped Serenity, a Universal feature based on his short-lived small-screen series Firefly that's due out in September.
