The divine Sarah Jessica Parker came by TheFindGreen’s eco-stop on Sunday with the rest of the cast of her new Miramax movie, “Smart People” – Dennis Quaid and Thomas Haden Church, which will open in April. Ellen Page is in the movie, too, but she’s still on the road promoting “Juno” – which has now made over seventy million dollars in wide release.
SJP’s pr asked that she NOT be asked about the summer’s sure-to-be blockbuster “Sex and the City” movie, which it seems journalists are rabid to know about. “It’s really flattering,” laughed SJP, in her Fiorentini and Baker motorcycle boots, and the Sundance uniform of dark leggings, parka and big sunglasses. “But ‘Smart People’ is a great movie, too, and it’s not like I ever only play one character.” “I can confirm that,” noted Quaid, whose character, a down on his luck professor, falls for SJP’s emergency room doctor in the movie. “Sarah Jessica is NOT Carrie Bradshaw. It just proves what a good actress she is. America is
convinced she’s a hard partying fashion star. She might be a fashion star,
but she’s a serious mom and actress.”
“’Smart People’ is about well-educated people who are not at all good at matters of the heart,” SJP told us. “And I do think that smart people tend to complicate things sometimes. Or at least, women do.” “Yeah, men don’t do that,” laughed Quaid. “We’re really very simple. We just need our basic needs to be met.”
SJP’s hair was darker than usual, and ironed flat and superstraight, by hairdresser to the stars David Babaii, who was accompanying her on her promotional trip. “I just shot my new L’Oreal Commercial,” noted SJP, “and when I do that, my color always changes - a little or a lot.
It’s always a fun experiment!”
Speaking of hair products, David Babaii is about to launch a new line of green and ecologically correct hair products with client Kate Hudson, called “David Babaii for Wild Aid” in
March. (You can read more at info@davidbabaiiforwildaid.com).
They are free of sulfates, animal products, and are a luxurious blend of natural ingredients that still smell amazing. “I am very attracted to delicious smells,” Hudson told me in a recent interview, “so if I was going to promote a product, it had to be good for the environment, good for my hair, and it had to smell yum. And it does.”
Adrien Grenier visited the Studio to play "Guitar Hero" on the showcased Nintendo Wii's with photog Kevin Mazur, who had just shot his portrait. They rocked out to
Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love” – which was pretty amusing, because Grenier actually plays guitar and sings in a band named The Honey Brothers, which played on Sunday afternoon at a Sundance lounge on Main Street. Meanwhile, he used whatever non-jamming moments to promote his
new indie movie “Adventures of Power,” in which he plays a daydreaming
drummer – or more correctly, “an air drummer who dreams of being the world’s greatest air drummer,” he told us. Grenier, one of the most eco-minded celebs in Hollywood, checked out TheFindGreen’s eco-search engine, and will no doubt be shopping on there for his L.A. home – “and everything else,” he said.
You can see the celebs starting to slow down on Sunday – perhaps that’s because of several nights of late night partying.
Saturday night’s late late party at the Park City Yoga Studio hosted Paris Hilton, Jason Patric, Eliza Dushku, Armande Assante, The Black Eyed Pea’s Will I Am, and Maria Bello. “A hangover is just part of the Sundance experience,” actress Emily Mortimer told us.
After promoting movies all day to outlets like
People, Entertainment Weekly, CNN and Variety, they dine at La Terrigo on
Main St (we spotted “Nip Tuck’s” Dylan Walsh there), Chimayo and even
something called The Pizza Joint,where we spotted Maria Bello and her
supermanager John Carrabino, dining on slices. “It’s good to slowdown a
little,” said Carrabino. “The festival is total adrenaline.”
Mena Suvari stopped in the suite to promote “Mysteries of Pittsburgh,” an all-sold out movie at Sundance, based
on Michael Chabon’s famed book, while the movies with the big buzz remain U2’s 3D movie – the fest’s mega hot ticket – and the doc “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,” which HBO purchased today. Young hot actors Michelle Morgan (“Diary of the Dead”), Ben Foster (“Mysteries of Pittsburgh”), and the cast of “American Teen” also
visited TheFindGreen’s locale on Sunday.
And what’s the best pick me up at the festival that’s keeping everybody going? Izzy’s Pomegranate fizzy soda, which everybody’s living on. Nothing like a little free radical protection with your carbonation. – MG
