Emmy Rossum

[pink_lipgloss]

wow she looks totally amazing!!

 

[adorefaith]

the hair & makeup for that shoot are great.....
i dont normally find her face very proportionate or attractive, but she looks good....pretty.....they've puffed her top lip up and lined her eyes.....
ahhh the wonders of makeup.......

 

[lostgirl]

Her face isn't 100% perportionate- she has a wide mouth, a small nose and large almond shaped eyes. But, like so many other beautiful women, it's the way that it all comes together that draws you in. They didn't puff up her lips for the shoot though. It doesn't look like that to me at least. She's always had full lips:

 

[simple_elegance]

agreed, her lips have always been like that.

 

[adorefaith]

i meant that they've drawn the liner/colour above where the natural line of her top lip is.....its a common makeup trip to make lips appear bigger than they are......
i didnt mean puffed it up with any artificial substance.....
if you look closely you can see the liner above her lip.....

 

[lostgirl]

Oh OK, in that case I mistunderstood

 

[sirene]

I loved those pics so much I made some graphics out of them! Definitely a "Portrait of a Lady"!

 

[Yiwen]

She looks like she has Angelina Jolie lips in the new photoshoot.

 

[adorefaith]

your avatar looks great sirene......its actually why i came into emmy's thread.....i wanted to see the full pic

 

[eastsidegal]

Wow, that is an awesome photoshoot! I wish the lips were a tad darker, light pink lipstick is my pet peeve. It always washes people out.

 

[sirene]

Glad I could bring another Emmy fan in here, adorefaith!

^I like how she re-uses her gowns.

 

[Boomer]

her and ex-bf David ....

I'm behind the curve here; didn't know there was an ex- isn't she engaged? Seems like I had heard that recently...

I'm behind the curve here; didn't know there was an ex- isn't she engaged? Seems like I had heard that recently...

There was a rumor about a year ago that she was engaged but that wasn't true. She and David split up about six monthes ago after a year or so of dating.

Here's part 3 of her fan interview from emmyrossumfan
What do you do on a day when you have no "celebrity-thing" going on?
Go on a hike, hang out with Chrissie, sing, take a drive and write lyrics in the mountains, cook for my friends and watch a great movie.

If you could visit any place in the entire world that you have never been to, where would it be and why?
China! I am actually going in June with friends! I am really excited! It's my 2 week vacation this year. I want to see the Great Wall, the terracotta warriors, the Forbidden City.

What is the most beautiful sight you have ever seen or sound you have ever heard?
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen was the Aurora Borealis in Alaska. My mom made me get out of bed in the middle of the night to see it and I was so grumpy but it was definitely worth it!

What is your favorite shampoo?
Phillip Kingsley makes a great shampoo that really takes care of my hair.

If you have a chance would you like to star in a film directed by Ang Lee?
Absolutely! I love Ang Lee, The Ice Storm and Brokeback are two great movies!

What's your take on the Femmys? (That's what we call the "fake Emmys. They're people who pretend to be you on myspace and livejournal and xanga.)
I don't know much about them, but they definitely aren't me. Now I feel almost like I have to prove that I am me.. How ironic. I know I can let you in on a little secret about the making of Phantom that I don’t think I have ever mentioned. The doll in the Phantom's lair that looks just like me is not a wax mold, it's actually me made up as a doll with waxy make-up standing very, very still. The production produced a mask of my face to use on the mannequin but when they put in the fake eyes it didn’t look like me so I suggested that I stand in as the mannequin instead.

Did you get to keep anything from phantom?
I sure didn't want to keep the corsets I can tell you that! I have a lot of the stockings and make-up, some beautiful black suede gloves (that I didn't wear in the film but were made for me and we never used).

Do you still keep in touch with your phantom co-stars?
Yes! Gerry and I are good friends and see each other once in a while when we are in the same town! And I stay in touch with Patrick…he and his wife are having a baby! I am best friends with my dresser from London and we talk and e-mail weekly. You become quite close with someone when they are squeezing you into a corset at 5am for 6 months straight!

What are you doing after Poseidon?
Working on this record, trying to juggle film, music, school, and just being a normal girl with my friends too.

Emmy, we already know you as an accomplished actress and singer, but not many people REALLY know who you are. Some celebrities are very well-known, and have been around for the longest time, while others have already experienced the peak of their fame. Still, others like you are near the beginning of the course of fame. What is your take on fame? Does it ever get annoying to have people stop you in the streets when you are stepping out for a quick breath of air (or whatever) and fans immediately bombard you with questions and what not?
Fame is not something I strive for. I strive to work with good people, learn from them, and be the best I can be at what I do. But "fame" does come along with the job, so it's just something I have to deal with. At the beginning, it was very overwhelming to have people recognize me and I didn't know how I'd ever get used to it. Everyone around me was telling me how much my life was going to change, and that was really scary. The truth is, living in NY makes it a lot easier and it hasn’t changed that much. People do come up to me all the time, in restaurants, on the street, at concerts, and it's just part of my life. I love my job, so I have to sacrifice a bit of my anonymity. There is always a trade off in everything.

The camera always manages to capture a bad angle, and people make a big deal out of celebrities caught without makeup. What is it like to have such a reputation, which may easily be shattered by a few untruthful rumors?
Honestly, it's hard when people write things that aren't true, it's hurtful. I try not to pay attention to it or read it.

Do you ever wish to take a break?
Yes!!! I'm a workaholic! Even when I'm on vacation I sometimes read scripts.

Emmy, would you ever consider going to small countries like Singapore for vacations or what not?
Of course! The world has so many amazing places. I want to see as much as I can and I only hope I have time for it all!

What would you say is your biggest accomplishment so far?
Aside from my work, I would say a big accomplishment is that I've stayed true to who I am and not let "fame" affect me.

What is the worst you have ever been bothered by the press?
They chased after my car in LA after a screening of Phantom and almost caused an accident. They chased my car in Germany. But living in New York is easier for me. I can fly under the radar much more easily.

Emmy if you wanted to would you ever become friends with a fan from Ohio? if so come and visit sometime.
I've been to Ohio. It’s a beautiful state. One of my cousins lives in Cincinatti and one in Cleveland.

Out of all the movies you did between the ages of 12-15, which one was the funnest to make?
Songcatcher was the most fun to make. It was my first movie and so I was really excited. It was an “indie” with a budget of about 2 million dollars so it wasn’t fancy and there was a lot of comraderie. We shot it the summer before my 13th birthday in Asheville, N.C. in 26 days. I got to learn ballad singing from Sheila Kay Adams and work in a beautiful part of the country. I loved the character I was playing. It was really hot and humid that summer but the mountains were beautiful and being around real ballad music, listening to Taj Mahal play and Iris DeMent sing and having a chance to record with Dolly Parton was something I’ll never forget. Dolly is an amazing artist and a wonderful lady!.

I would like to know how it felt like, to play a quite emotionally unstable character like Christine whose so manipulated by two men. How did it effect you?
It was difficult playing a character who is on such an emotional roller coaster. At times it was difficult to separate myself from the strong feelings that I was tapping into at work. I found it hard not to bring those feelings home with me at the end of the day.

Christine develops in many ways but I think one of the most important scenes for her would be during and after 'Music of the Night' when she's lying in the Phantom's bed. Because that's her, uhm, 'awakening'. How did you feel yourself after shooting those scenes? Was it difficult to really feel these emotions or not at all? I can only say you did a perfect job and your acting and singing really moved me.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your kindness! Gosh, I'm blushing. I think everyone has sensuality within them whether they are 16 or 60 so it was just a question of my feeling comfortable to tap into it on set. In those kind of scenes, we had a “closed set” (with less crew than normal) which made the actors feel more comfortable. Plus, Gerry is so cute. It wasn't hard to pretend to fall for him!

You've probably heard this countless times before, I'm sure But here's my question for you...I've been trying to get into acting for a long time now, and I'm thinking of getting an agent. Could you give me some advice on how you followed your dream, and got to the place you are today? I would really appreciate any tips you might have.
Here are some specific suggestions . You should go to see agents with a monologue or song prepared. When I was eleven years old, I went to three agents in New York before I found one who wanted to take me and who I liked. Don’t be discouraged. Do any kind of local theater where you might be seen. Even local talent agencies in small cities have connections to the casting directors for the film studios in NY and LA. They put you on tape and send it in for consideration. Lots of actors have gotten big breaks this way. Work on a small independent film if you like the script and think it might go to the film festivals. That’s what I did. Take drama classes with teachers who produce “showcases.”. Agents look for new talent at small theaters, at student showcases and at film festivals. There are some good books on “the method” and Michael Caine has made a good videotape about acting.

Would you ever consider doing another dramatic movie..and if so would you ever go for an oscar performance?
Poseidon is very dramatic. I’m open to doing dramas or comedies if I like the script. There are far fewer good scripts out there than you might imagine. I don't think it's healthy to fixate on awards or on the award season. I just try to do the best job I can so that I can be proud of my work

I remember hearing a rumor that she was doing an editorial spread at the beach. I didn't know she had the cover.
