We want to wish Jennifer a very happy 41st birthday! We hope that all her wishes come true and that she spends a wonderful day with her beloved ones!

Entertainment Weekly has confirmed a Deadline report that Paramount has optioned Furious Love, Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger’s recent book about the torrid and tempestuous romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, as a potential directorial project for Martin Scorsese. This is a biopic where casting is everything. While it would nearly be impossible for the starring couple to equal the celebrity of Liz and Richard, they’ll need to be famous enough themselves to convey the magnitude of their onscreen counterparts. Thus, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are logical suggestions, especially since Jolie is preparing to play the Taylor role in a remake of the infamous Cleopatra, where the couple, then married to other people, first sparked an interest in each other. But Cleopatra remake and previous famous marriages aside, I don’t think Brangelina are the best fit. Even in the period costumes and 1960′s hair, I wouldn’t see them as Liz and Dick; I’d see Brad and Angie.
For Burton, I can’t get Clive Owen out of my head. Part of it is the not insignificant resemblance, but the other part is the NSFW scene in Closer where he lashes out at Julia Roberts’ cheating wife. Russell Crowe, Colin Farrell, or Daniel Craig wouldn’t be bad choices either. For Taylor, Catherine Zeta-Jones was once rumored to have a bead on the part when Mike Nichols was rumored to be interested in the project, but Jennifer Connelly gets my vote. There’s something about her specific beauty that conjures up Taylor’s sensual elegance. Maybe it’s the eyes. Scarlett Johansson would be another solid possibility.

Jennifer Connelly made a welcome return to the spotlight for the premiere of her new film The Dilemma, looking her usual effortlessly chic self and showcasing the best maternity wear we’ve seen in a while. This might not be the most dramatic red-carpet look of the week, but we had to share it with you because not only does it show Jen’s understated style at its best, it also proves how maternity dressing doesn’t have to be a chore. Ms Connelly made the most of her growing baby bump in a simple floor-sweeping grey dress, complete with empire waistband and figure-flattering pleats, setting a Hollywood example on how to look good during pregnancy. If you want to steal Ms Connelly’s style then get your hands on a similar dress at Topshop. Yes, grey might be seen as a typical autumn/winter colour but Chloé, Peter Pilotto and 3.1 Phillip Lim all included grey in their spring/summer 2011 palette. So invest now! SD

Dark Water (2005)
I have not seen the original, but the Walter Salles remake is an emotionally devastating character study that gets under the skin because the characters earn our sympathy. This too features a fantastic cast, with such pros as Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, Tim Roth, Dougray Scott, Pete Postlethwaite, and Camryn Manheim grounding this spook story in a reality that is as frightening as any ghost. The story revolves around Dahlia (Connelly), who rents a somewhat slummy apartment after winning custody of her young daughter in a bitter divorce. Soon the apartment begins to suffer inexplicable water damage, along with the usual ghostly visions and sounds. Is the apartment haunted? Is her ex-husband trying to scare her into taking action that would help him regain parental rights? Or is Dahlia’s family history of mental illness finally catching up to her? All three seem equally plausible and equally frightening possibilities, and that’s not even counting the teens outside her complex who always seem to be watching and leering. The film works because Salles makes the everyday world of a working-poor single mother every bit as frightening and exhausting as dealing with the supernatural.

Phenomena
Starring Jennifer Connelly and Donald Pleasance. Directed by Dario Argento.
Phenomena pretty much represents Argento at his most insane, but still rather brilliant. The movie stars a very young Jennifer Connelly as Jennifer Corvino, a young telepathic girl who keeps witnessing murders in her dreams as she sleepwalks. Being helped by a local scientist, played by Donald Pleasance, the situation seems to be getting worse as the murders intensify, and other telepathic abilities manifest in the young girl. This all leads up to a bugnuts crazy climax involving a monster, a chimp and thousands of a insects, making Phenomena about as mad a horror film as they come.

Women love to experiment different hair styles. The hair style a woman choose can make her look beautiful, at the same time ugly. So when you decide to go ahead with a particular look, make sure that it really suites you.
Braids, one of the popular hair styles among women but when it’s their date, they usually don’t opt for it as they think that braids cannot make them look appealing. Trust me, if you try different types of braid looks, you can really be stunning on your romantic date. I would put down here some of the most chosen romantic braids.
Jennifer Connelly’s Braid: Jennifer Connelly’s romantic look can be yours, if you have shoulder length hair.
* You can try this look on 75% dried hair. Apply light styling cream through your tresses.
* Now take a side partition and braid your hair down. Once you reach your ear, add a french braid to and tie your hair. Do the same thing on the other side too.
* Now pin them up into your back.
This style is best for a wine outing.
