Rachel McAdams Yogic Diet for ‘Sherlock Holmes’ Film

Rachel McAdams needed to do lots of yoga to fit into her ‘Sherlock Holmes’ outfit.

The actress had to wear a lot of tight-fitting corsets for her role as Irene Adler in Guy Ritchie’s new movie about the British fictional detective and admits it was a struggle to get them on.

She said, “I wasn’t allowed to take that corset off! I had to rely on yoga exercises! Don’t get me wrong, I’m such a girly girl, I was in heaven being dressed in these incredible costumes. But it was like something out of ’Gone With The Wind’. I’m holding onto the trailer door trying to eek out just a little bit of space so that I can speak properly. Each morning, they tried to make me laugh and on the laugh they’d yank – that’s how they managed to squeeze me in every day.”

Rachel also joked she was so desperate to be in the film, she had to beg Guy for her part.

She quipped to Total Film magazine, “I hunted Guy down and camped on his doorstep until he relented! OK, no, we had a chat in a garden and it went from there… Fortunately, it worked out for me.”

State of Play Movie Trailer

State of Play is a political thriller directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, Tony Gilroy, Peter Morgan, and Billy Ray. The film tells of a journalist’s probe into the suspicious death of a Congressman’s mistress. Russell Crowe plays the journalist and Ben Affleck plays the Congressman. Support comes from Helen Mirren, Jason Bateman, Robin Wright Penn, Rachel McAdams, and Jeff Daniels.

Yeah, I know, Russell Crowe movie, but one thing I’d note: it’s based on the BBC Mini Series of the same name, which is arguably one of the best mini-series to come out of the UK this decade. The trailer does look good, although they’ve cut the 6 hours of the original mini-series into 2 hours for the film, and naturally Americanized it. I’m willing to give it a shot.

State of Play comes out April 2009.

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling Are So Over

Le sigh, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling have split up for good! Boo, everyone seems to love them, but it’s another case of relationship-death-by-Hollywood, with an insider saying that “‘Rachel is too controlling. They broke up the first time because of their busy schedules — and that’s the problem again.’”

Why can’t Spencer and Heidi go this way? I’m inclined to believe that Spencer even enjoyed having Heidi get fired (see evil grin here), and I’d love to be reporting that news instead.
