CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC

Posted on 2009-01-12

You know you’re going to see it.
Because not since the Devil Wears Prada has a fashion related movie stirred as much buzz. Though leading lady Isla Fisher (wife of Sacha Baron Cohen) will be the star of the big screen, another might capture the hearts of the audience as well: Krysten Ritter.
Fisher plays Becky Bloomwood, a recent college grad with a penchant for overspending, while Ritter plays Bloomwood’s pal and roommate, Suze.
Another movie Ritter is set to play in, and raise some eyebrows, is the upcoming How to Make Love to a Woman; a comedy based on a best-selling novel by adult film star Jenna Jameson which we’ll no doubt also love!
