Naomi Watts Recalls Her Romance With Heath Ledger: ‘It Was Beautiful’

Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts is on the cover of More for October 2011, all tousled, soft and ethereal.  It’s a perfect look to accompany a frank and accessible interview in which she discusses a variety of subjects, including her father’s early death, parenting, and how she caught the attention of her current partner Liev Schreiber.   She also speaks fondly about her two-year relationship with the late Heath Ledger, whom she dated from 2002 – 2004.

“We had a beautiful relationship, only a couple of years, but he was a man who was completely full of joy, and there was a lot of laughing and affection. He was really a very special soul and made a great impact on my life. And a great actor, but I know there was so much more to come. And it’s a tragedy for his little daughter.”

Ledger died in January 2008 from a prescription drug overdose, leaving behind his daughter, Matilda, whose mother is actress Michelle Williams.

Did Naomi Watts Recycle This Dress?

Naomi Watts was a vision in casual white at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic.  The fedora is a jaunty addition, and I really quite love her lace-up oxford shoes.  Definitely a fun, very different look from all the sandals and peep-toes on the red carpet these days.

Her dress is cute, if a bit shapeless, but doesn’t it look familiar?  It does to me.  She wore a similar, if not the same, garment at the Israel Film Festival last month.   I know Naomi loves to wear white (and she looks great in it), but how many white, knee-length dresses with asymmetrical hems does a girl need?

Check out more pictures of Naomi after the jump and then tell us what you think:  did she recycle this dress?

Naomi Watts: “I’m Just Like Any Other Woman”

Naomi Watts Attends The New York Premiere of "Nine"

Naomi Watts recently talked with the New York Daily News and revealed that she does the same work-motherhood-relationship balancing act that most of us moms have to do every day:

“I see myself as any other woman.  Every day I’m struggling to get it right, be a good mother and have time for my relationship with Liev [Schreiber]. I’m not sure whether I’m doing any of it right, but I’ve finally got to the age where at least I know that I’m just doing my best.”

And that’s all you really can do. But as I always say when stars try to tell us that they are just like the rest of us… try doing it all for just one day without your staff, and see what it’s really like to be the rest of us!

Naomi has a bunch of movies coming up, including Woody Allen‘s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, Mother and Child, Fair Game, and Dream House.

Penelope Cruz Rounds Up Hollywood For French Vogue

Kate Winslet, Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts, and Penelope Cruz for French Vogue May 2010

Getting actress Penelope Cruz to guest edit the May edition of French Vogue really came with some perks namely Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet and Bono, to name a few. The actresses all appear together on one cover in Gap t-shirts that benefit Bono’s ONE charity. The other two alterna-covers have Penny cozied up to Bono for one and Cruz wrapping herself around Meryl on the other.

There are some notable features thanks to Ms Cruz and her friends – including a collage story from John Galliano about Cruz and her longtime director and close pal, Pedro Almodovar, Cruz taking pics of pals Salma Hayek, Javier Bardem and Sean Penn, a fashion shoot by Steven Meisel with plus size model Crystal Renn (highlighting Renn’s 70′s porn pubes, yes that is true) and Almodovar interview the legendary actress Jeanne Moureau.

Check out the two alternative covers below.

Liraz Charhi Joins Watts and Penn for ‘Fair Game’

musique3

Actress Liraz Charhi is joining Naomi Watts and Sean Penn for the upcoming film Fair Game.

The Israeli actress has been cast in “Fair Game,” the Doug Liman-directed drama about outed CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. Naomi Watts already has been cast as Plame. Sean Penn plays her husband, ambassador Joseph Wilson.

Charhi will play Sawsan, an Iraqi doctor in Cleveland whom Plame sends undercover to Baghdad to gather intelligence on Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program in exchange for bringing her brother to the U.S.

The movie centers on how Plame’s status was compromised because of a leak from the Bush administration, allegedly in retaliation for a 2003 op-ed piece her husband wrote claiming the administration manipulated intelligence on Iraq.

Sounds like a very intriguing film, with some great actors. I’m looking forward to seeing more about this one.

Nicole Kidman & Sunday Rose Cheek To Cheek

Nicole Kidman and Sunday Rose

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban took their beautiful daughter, Sunday Rose down to Australia to celebrate Easter with Nicole’s family.

I think that Nicole looks so amazing.  Sunday is only 9 months old and Nicole looks like she was never pregnant!  She has always been in such good shape and has that natural beauty.

Sunday Rose looks just like her daddy, don’t you think?

Up next for Nicole is a film with her BFF Naomi Watts, Need.  I have enjoyed Nicole Kidman since her early beginnings on Five Mile Creek.  She is so talented.
