"I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then." - Clarissa Vaughn, The Hours (2002)

FANSITES
Current

Nicole's Magic Nicole's Magic: Nicole Kidman
Since: March 2002
Favourite Performance: Virginia Woolf in The Hours
Where to start with Nicole? I started this site as a way of getting to know more about Nicole, as my interest in her had picked up in 2001. It was my first proper fansite, but I already knew what I wanted in it and how I wanted to run it - there were no fansites for her that had proper fan interaction so I basically wanted something fun and that other fans could kind of relate to (as opposed to the other very scripted and 'cold' fansites for her). So as I've built the site up over the years my interest in her has increased, to say the least. The best thing to say about this site is simply that I have put my heart and soul into it, as cliched as that may sound. Now, in 2010, my interest in Nicole is not what it was 'back in the day' due to obvious reasons (just look at her) so it can sometimes be hard to update the site, but looking back on her older work reminds me how incredible she is.



Kate Hudson Heaven Kate Hudson Heaven: Kate Hudson
Since: June 2003
Favourite Performance: Penny Lane in Almost Famous
Miss Hudson <3 Kate is like the exact opposite of Nicole and I've always tried to make the site a reflection of Kate's personality - fun and laid-back. I had wanted to make a Kate site for a while before I actually did it, and the emergence of other KH sites put me off for a while. When someone said they wanted to co-web a KH site with me, I decided to go for it ... unfortunately that person disappeared offline soon after! But I decided to keep the site going myself, and have actually really enjoyed it. This is probably my favourite site to work on, possibly due to the fact that Kate always looks amazing and happy.



Sienna Miller Online Sienna Miller Online: Sienna Miller
Since: August 2004
Favourite Performance: Caitlin in The Edge Of Love
I joined this site in August 2004 a few weeks after Katy created the site. I had noticed Sienna because of her relationship with Jude Law and her style - like everyone else did. I admired her confidence, carefree-ness and 'boho' style, and while I am no fashionista, Sienna's laid-back, fresh and independent approach to style really appealed to me. Over the years her career has really taken off and I genuinely have a huge amount of respect for her career and the film choices she has made. While my interest in her career has gone up, my interest in her style has gone downhill. And then there is the very unfortunate tabloid/paparazzi-friendly side to her, which is best not to go into here! On the verge of closing in 2008, I now have a renewed interest in the site. I'm planning to revamp it and then proudly promote it as a career-only site - choosing to ignore the trashy gossip.



Blue Jewel: Naomi Watts Blue Jewel: Naomi Watts: Naomi Watts
Since: December 2005 originally, re-opened August 2007
With: Jess
Favourite Performance: Cristina Peck in 21 Grams & Betty/Diane in Mulholland Drive
When Jess mentioned she also wanted to make a site for Naomi I decided to go for it and start the site that I had been contemplating for a while. Plus, I had admired the unique touches Jess had bought to her sites for a while, so it was great to work with her. Since the opening I've worked hard to build up the site into an extensive resource - this is taking longer than I had expected, but it's going to happen! There's lots of work to be done on the content and gallery, but I am determined to get it done as I think Naomi deserves a comprehensive tribute site. Motivation for the site comes and goes because Naomi often doesn't do much, but I take advantage when it's there!



Maria-Bello.org Maria-Bello.org: Maria Bello
Since: April 19th 2008
Favourite Performance: Anna Del Amico in ER
Before I started this site I wasn't particularly a 'fan' of Maria - I'd only seen one of her movies and I knew very little about her - but I'd read a short interview with her and I immediately took to her. As a result of that, and the buzz around her at the start of 2006, I decided to buy a domain for her, intending to build a fansite so I could learn more about her. As I've worked on the site my interest in her has increased. I will admit that I don't love any of her movies in the way I do ones by Nicole, for example, but I have a huge amount of respect for her talent and lack of inhibition when it comes to taking a role. Her fearlessness, her down-to-earth-ness and the fact that she doesn't seem fazed or affected by Hollywood makes me admire her. She's taken on some fantastic roles recently, and as well as mixing up the genres she does, she's also spending more and more time doing charity work, and genuinely interested and involved in it.



Isabel Lucas Online Isabel Lucas Online: Isabel Lucas
Since: July 2009
Favourite Performance: Tasha in Home & Away
I saw Isabel's first episode on Home & Away and thought she would be an interesting addition to the show, and over her years on the show she become my favourite character, and a really valuable part of the show. After she left the show, I heard about her moving to Hollywood and her Save The Whales protest in Japan and was excited that she might be about to become a star in the US. Just before Transformers was released I decided to bite the bullet and make a site for her, and I am so glad I did! I have so much admiration for her and I love working on the site.



Admiring Susan Sarandon Admiring Susan Sarandon: Susan Sarandon
Since: December 2009
Favourite Performance: Louise in Thelma And Louise
I'm a fairly new fan of Susan's. I've been aware of her over the years but once I started to hear more about her political activism I gradually started to pay more attention to her. Susan is an incomparable force in her industry, and she really needs no introduction. I thought she needed a fansite to promote and support her, so, partly inspired by Simply Streep, I decided to start one. It's currently a newsblog only, but I'm hoping to build it up into a complete and comprehensive fansource for her in time.



Glamour Reese Witherspoon Glamour Reese Witherspoon: Reese Witherspoon
Since: December 2009 (originally opened Nov '01)
Favourite Performance: June Carter Cash in Walk The Line
Glamour Reese Witherspoon is my all time favourite site, and really, the site that inspired me to get into fansites. When Mycah gave up the site to Lisa I offered to come on board to help out, although a few months later Lisa decided to leave. I now own the site myself, and am aiming to re-build the site into the most complete resource for Reese. I just hope I can keep the magic of the site going, after the incredible work of previous owners Riikka and Mycah, and of course the site founder April!




Upcoming

Isla Fisher Isla Fisher - Opening 2010(?)
This is a definitely, maybe project LOL, as in it will probably happen but I just don't know when yet! I've been a fan of Isla's since Home & Away in 1994/95 so she's really a face that I've grown up with. I'm really eager to start a site for her simply for somewhere to share my love for her. And as I've been a fan for so long, I want it to be a perfect tribute and something I am really able to put everything into because I feel that she deserves that.
