My jaw has just dropped on the floor at this! It looks like Isabel has turned her talents to singing! Information and videos have popped up online in the last couple of days about Isabel joining forces with actor Lukas Haas to make a song and music video entitled ‘Made For You’. The official Facebook and YouTube pages describe the project as:

Lucas/Lukas is Lukas Haas + Isabel Lucas in their first musical collaboration, Made for You. Filmed and recorded in Lukas’ studio in LA. Directed by Carleton Ranney. Shot and Edited by Real Sprague and Destin Douglas.

Whether or not they’re officially calling themselves a proper band is unknown yet. Their Facebook page doesn’t list a record company yet.

Below is the all-important song/music video itself, as well as the official ‘Making Of’ video in which Isabel and Lukas talk about the project, and the lyrics to the song. I’ve also posted all the information I’ve found on this project so far.

Make sure you visit the official website and apply for the free download!

So Izzy fans, what are thoughts on this!?!

Wow, this is a nice surprise! Isabel is one of a new batch of celebrities featured in Gap’s new holiday 2010 advertising campaign! She is featured alongside fellow Aussie and former Home & Away star Ryan Kwanten, plus model Lauren Bush, actor Donald Glover and a number of other actors, musicians, artists and entrepreneurs.

The stars talk about their personal causes on Gap’s Facebook page, and Gap will be donating $1 to a charity each time a person ‘likes’ one of the videos.

JustJared.com have the first full photo from the campaign, in which Isabel models the sequin zip jacket. I presume these adverts will now be running in the US (and possible worldwide!) media.

I’m currently looking for more info and photos, so stay tuned as I will edit this post with anything else I find!

We have new candids of Izzy! She was photographed at LAX Airport in Los Angeles yesterday, and she looked pretty in a little dress and trademark headband. She even stopped to sign autographs for a few fans, and had a nice big smile for the photographers! I’ve added 17 photos to the Gallery for you.

I’ve also been doing some small content updates – I’ve added a couple of new/old interviews to the Press page as well as some more Quotes (by Isabel, at the bottom of that section). I’ve started work on the Charities page by adding info on Isabel’s involvement with Oz Quest and Earth Hour, although I’m sure more will be added to those parts, and of course the rest of that section will be written up shortly. I’ve also discovered Isabel did some adverts for Aussie accessories brand Diva back in 2005, so I’ve updated the Filmography page with that, and added some info to our Adverts page.

More Charities and Filmography updates coming soon!

As posted about a month or so ago, Isabel was one of the preliminary nominees at the MTV Movie Awards, for her role in last years Transformers. The official nominees have been announced today, and Isabel is in the ‘final’ running for Best WTF Moment! Congratulations to Isabel, this is exciting news! You can vote for her HERE. Unfortunately she did not make the final nominees for Best Female Breakout Star, nor was Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen nominated for Best Movie.

Voting is open until Saturday June 5th, and the show airs live on Sunday June 6th on MTV! Let’s cross our fingers for Isabel to win here award and attend the event…

Thanks to Amanda for an alert about the MTV Movie Awards – Isabel is nominated in two categories!

Best WTF Moment – VOTE!
Isabel Lucas – ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ – We’ve been decepticoned by Isabel Lucas.

Best Female Breakout Star – VOTE!
Isabel Lucas – ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’

Best Movie – VOTE!
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Sadly nothing for Best Villain or Best Ass-Kicking Star though

Confusingly, this is only a nomination for a nomination, in that you have to vote now and those with the most votes will go on to be the final five main nominees in each category. Make sense?! Either way, vote vote vote!!

Thanks to ‘M’ for this alert!

Isabel is nominated for the ‘Aussie Superstar Of The Year’ award at the 2010 Dolly Teen Choice Awards in Australia! She is nominated alongside other rising Aussie stars such as Guy Sebastian, Miranda Kerr and Liam Hemsworth. You can vote for Miss Lucas RIGHT HERE – her category is on the 3rd and final page.

I think this is only magazine-based awards, as in there will be no event/red carpet show. The Dolly site does say that there will be related features in their magazine though, so if you live in Australia make sure you keep an eye on that magazine! I’m not sure when winners will be announced, but I’ll be keeping a look out for further details, and will let you know!

If anyone from Australia can contribute scans of any coverage of Isabel and these awards from Dolly magazine then please contact me! All credit will be given

Read on for a press article from Dolly:

Exciting news – Isabel has won the award for Breakout Female Performance at the 2009 Spike TV’s Scream Awards! This was of course for her role as Alice in Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. Izzy beat out Anna Torv (“Fringe”), Zoe Saldana (“Star Trek”), Lorna Raver (“Drag Me To Hell”), Lena Leandersson (“Let The Right One In”) and Malin Akerman (“Watchmen”) for her deserving win. Congratulations Isabel!

Photos from the event, which took place last night, will be added here at Isabel Lucas Online later today, so stay tuned…

You can now watch a behind the scenes/making of video of the Tourism Victoria campaign advert at visitvistoria.com – click the picture preview below to visit the site and watch the clip.

Hi fans! Today I’ve added a full set of screencaptures from the Tourism Victoria advert video. Hopefully a better quality version that doesn’t have that massive title tag on it will be available sometime. Despite that, Isabel looks gorgeous in the ad, as does Daylesford (the region she’s promoting)! I’ve also added a few ‘stills’ from the advert – these have watermarks on them unfortunately, but they’re still very pretty.

This campaign will be taking all forms – as well as the TV advert there will also be print ads in magazines and online promotional banners etc. I’ll be keeping an eye out for these so stay tuned for further coverage here, as it pops up! As always, contributions of anything from this campaign would be really appreciated

[EDIT] After much searching I’ve found the video! Watch it here. [/EDIT]

HOLLYWOOD-based Australian beauty Isabel Lucas is to star in a multi-million dollar tourism campaign showcasing Victoria as the nation’s premium indulgence and wellbeing destination.

The $7.3 million Daylesford – Lead a Double Life – campaign will kick off tomorrow night on television screens around Australia.

In the TV advertisement, Lucas explores the dual attractions of the region by frolicking at a decadent soiree by night and recovering the next day with a stroll through the countryside and a dip in the natural mineral springs.

Tourism Minister Tim Holding said the state’s industry had held up better than anywhere else in the nation through the global financial crisis.

Last year, for the first time in decades, interstate tourists spent more money in Melbourne than Sydney, he said.

“Melbourne has outstripped Sydney as the preferred destination for Australians,” Mr Holding said today.

“But we can’t be complacent in what are the most extraordinarily difficult circumstances that our industry has seen.”
