I'm surprised you didn't post that pic on that Quinn's blog, since you and she are such good friends. A bit more appropriate perhaps.

Thandie asks celebs to go green
Thandie Newton has launched a one-woman campaign to persuade Hollywood's gas guzzlers to go green after trading in her BMW for a hybrid Toyota Prius. The star recently teamed up with environmental campaigners at Greenpeace to pen letters to celebrities asking them to switch to greener cars, and now she's planning to confront them one by one to drive her message home. http://www.thefashionspot.com/forums/
She says, "I'm sure a lot of them (letters) were dealt with by their publicists. I didn't want to be judgmental, like, `How dare you have a four-by-four.' It was more like, `Just in case you don't know... these are some facts about the environment and why it turns out four-by-fours aren't that great to have in the city.'"
Newton made the switch herself after she realized she was polluting her children's future. She says, "I thought, `F**k, what do my kids really need: a healthy planet or a big car in the city?'"
 
Thandie outraged over Crash hand r*pe scene. credit celebrity stink

Actress THANDIE NEWTON is still upset CRASH director PAUL HAGGIS wasn't straight with her about the film's controversial "hand r*pe" scene - because she'd have portrayed her character differently if she'd have known. The pretty Brit's character is violated by MATT DILLON's cop in the gritty Oscar-winning film, and she admits she was perhaps a little naive to shoot the controversial scene without knowing exactly what Haggis wanted in advance.

She tells Giant magazine, "When I read the script, that scene... was really sparcely written... I'm sure this is because otherwise they wouldn't have gotten funding: 'He puts his hands inside her skirt.' I thought it was more like, 'He suggests what he could do.'"

But her suspicions were raised when Haggis left the scene until the end of the shoot and then couldn't look Newton in the eye when he briefed her about the shot. After quizzing her about the underwear she had on, and suggesting she might be more comfortable wearing "boy shorts," the writer/director told his star, "We need the scene to really, really, really drive the point home," according to the actress.

She now regrets not finding out more about the controversial scene before filming her character's reaction later in the movie - something she had already shot. Newton adds, "I would have played the bedroom scene (with TERRENCE HOWARD) very differently. I would have played her as traumatised, not furious."

That dress is Tom Ford for YSL from FW 2002. I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna post that on the "When Stars Wear Runway Looks" thread. :flower:
