• 2011 – Session #005 x16 more

Ric O’Barry was in Daytona yesterday with Leilani Munter, who drove a ‘The Cove’-themed car to raise awareness for the dolphins in Taiji. Next weekend, O’Barry will be at a special event in Hollywood where he will be honored by celebs for his activism.

On March 3rd, ‘A Night for the Dolphins‘ will honor O’Barry and raise funds for his Dolphin Project at a private home in Hollywood. The red carpet event produced by Deborah Bassett and hosted by James Costa will feature a cocktail reception, champagne toast and vegan hors d’oeuvres. DJ Kolade and singer Mia Maestro will be providing entertainment.

Celebrity supporters will also be on hand as hosts to honor the dolphin trainer-turned activist. The host committee includes Ed Begley, Jr., Carrie Ann Inaba, Isabel Lucas, Jillian Michaels, Leilani Munter, Wilmer Valderrama, and more.

According to recent information from Bassett, Jillian Michaels will also be auctioning off a private session with her at the event; as well as some other great items donated by people like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, and Kelly Slater. Emmy Rossum is also confirmed, in addition to cast from “Shameless”, the “Twilight” series.

A limited number of tickets are available from Brown Paper Tickets (the event is 21 and over).

Hi

For my tenth birthday my parents took my sister and me out on a big boat to Moore Reef in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. I was deeply impressed by the beauty of the magical underwater land. Fish in all colours of the rainbow… a wonderland of caves and layers of corals, like an underwater flower bed.

Three years ago when I learned that only 1% of Australia’s Coral Sea was protected I was amazed. Even to a 10 year old kid, it seemed obvious that our beautiful coral reefs should be preserved, so…

I’d like to send a message to our federal environment minister…

THANK YOU, Environment Minister Tony Burke for protecting the eastern half of the Coral Sea in your draft plan for this iconic part of our blue Australia.

THANK YOU for banning oil and gas exploration, mining and longline fishing in the Coral Sea Marine Park. And also

THANK YOU for recently noting that the “Coral Sea was a near-pristine area with abundant marine life that deserves protection” (The Australian, January 30, 2012)

HOWEVER Mr Burke….

in your current proposal for the Coral Sea, only 2 out of the 25 coral reefs are fully protected. All the other reefs are open to some kind of fishing or harvesting.

So fellow lovers of our oceans, on this Valentine’s Day I ask you to show your love for the beautiful Coral Sea and please join with me by asking Mr Burke to better protect the coral reefs in our Coal Sea!

Sending your Coral Sea submission to Tony Burke will take less time than brushing your teeth…

Many thanks to you all

Isabel Lucas
Protect our Coral Sea Ambassador

Natalie Portman has committed to her first two movie roles since winning the Best Actress Oscar for Black Swan and taking maternity leave. Portman is joining the casts of the Terrence Malick films Knight Of The Cups, and Lawless. Portman will join Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and Isabel Lucas in Knight of the Cups, which shoots this summer. She will follow by starring with Ryan Gosling, Bale, Blanchett, Rooney Mara and Haley Bennett in Lawless, the film Malick shoots in the fall. It will be Portman’s first time working with Malick, whose The Tree of Life won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and is nominated for Best Picture and Best Director Oscars.

The addition of Portman certainly will create some buzz for both Malick films when the wheeling and dealing begins at EFM in Berlin tomorrow. FilmNation is selling international territories and CAA reps both films for domestic rights. The market hasn’t even started and Deadline has broken stories that Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead the package for the Emmett/Furla Films and Universal co-financed 2 Guns; that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will make his directing debut on a comedy he’ll star in with Scarlett Johansson for IM Global; and that The Devil Inside followup WER will be sold by Sierra/Affinity, with FilmDistrict now an equity player in the film with Incentive Filmed Entertainment. All those films will have action in Berlin and it is looking like there will be a lot of good product. My colleague Nancy Tartaglione will be on the ground in Berlin and Deadline will be all over the market. Portman is repped by CAA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

Chin-Wagging with Isabel Lucas

Australian beauty Isabel Lucas plays a goddess in ‘Immortals’, and after her visit to the Studio, we know why! The soft-spoken actress describes the harrowing fight scenes on set and her amazing Athena costume. She also takes the time to explain some perplexing Aussie-isms for our American audiences. Bob’s your uncle! Hosted by Nikki Novak.
