From ShowbizSpy:

X-MEN star ANNA PAQUIN has treated herself to a new bicycle after learning to ride.

The young actress has splashed out on a pink Hello Kitty Retro Cruiser after realising her childhood dream of pedalling.

She says, “I just learned to ride recently. I guess because I was the youngest of three and my parents were really busy, they just assumed that I already knew. Also, we lived on a hill.”

From the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly:

50. The Piano 1993. The closing five minutes - when Holly Hunter’s mute pianist takes two trips to the bottom of the ocean, one real and one imaginary - are enough on their own to earn Jane Campion’s bleak yet beautiful feminist parable a shot on our list

Anna made Maxim’s 2008 Hot 100 list coming in at #50. The full list can be found here. Thanks to my good friend Joliz over at Rosario Dawson’s Official Site for the heads up!

 
 
50. Anna Paquin
You know her as the sexy, troubled, and underutilized Rogue in the X-Men movies. Now she’s leading a heavyweight cast in the upcoming Margaret.

MovieFone ranked the Top 25 Child Stars of all time, and Anna made the list at #13! The full list can be found here.

13. Anna Paquin

At age 11, Paquin became Canada’s first Best Supporting Actress Academy Award winner and the second youngest actress to claim an Oscar, thanks to her role as the daughter of (and interpreter for) Holly Hunter’s mute pianist in 1993’s ‘The Piano.’ ‘Jane Eyre’ and ‘Fly Away Home’ enhanced her rep, but the ‘X-Men’ trilogy gave her adult stardom.

From Bloody Disgusting:

We discovered today that Legendary Pictures held a screening last night for their film Trick ‘r Treat, which was directed by Michael Dougherty. Apparently Warner Bros. Pictures has decided NOT to release it and the horror film is now up for sale to whomever would be interested in distributing it. This does mean that there are no release plans for the film, so until we update you with a new distributor, don’t hold your breath. The film features four interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the one guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband.

This is really depressing news.

Thank you Degigia for commenting about this because it reminded me that I wanted to post about it. The Golden Globes are supposed to be presented next Sunday, January 13th. It’s pretty clear that Anna will not be attending as SAG actors WILL NOT be crossing the WGA picket lines to accept or present awards.

On the other hand, the SAG Awards will still be taking place on January 27th on TBS/TNT at 8pm since the WGA granted waivers for writers to contribute to the awards show. So hopefully she will attend that event!
