Marisa is on the cover of the August issue of Shape magazine! She looks beautiful! Thanks so much to Lisa for letting me know! Will definitely use these photos on a future layout!
The moment Marisa Tomei starts to speak in her distinctive New York accent, you can almost hear her saying her most famous line from My Cousin Vinny: “My biological clock is ticking (foot stomp) like (foot stomp) this (foot stomp)!” It’s hard to believe it’s been 18 years since she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Mona Lisa Vito—she hasn’t seemed to age at all. In her recent film, Cyrus, she plays the single mother of a man in his 20s. At 45, she looks almost too young to play the part. Find out her secrets to looking and feeling young, vibrant, and fit.
1. Detox Your Day
Whether she’s on location for a new film or at home in Los Angeles, Marisa begins every day with the same ritual: drinking a cup of hot water with lemon. “I never got into coffee,” she says. “It may take me a little longer to get going than other people, but this just feels really cleansing in the morning.” She follows that with a boiled egg drizzled with a little olive oil or some fresh berries and granola with whole-milk yogurt. “I find that protein wakes up my brain and gets me ready for the rest of my day,” she says. To maintain that “get up and go,” Marisa keeps high protein snacks on hand. “I’m a person who has to eat!” she says. “I graze every few hours.”

In “Woineshet,” the Academy Award-winning actress chronicles the story of an Ethiopian teenager who spoke out against bride abduction.
Marisa Tomei has played some scene-stealing females in her career. (Btw, thanks for still showing love to My Cousin Vinny, TBS. Very funny indeed.) But now, the Academy Award-winning actress is making her directorial debut with a powerful short film called Woineshet, about a young woman who fought back against bride abduction in Ethiopia. The story comes from Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn’s best-selling book and global women’s rights movement Half The Sky.
“Of course I was familiar with Nick’s column in the [New York] Times, wondering for about a year now, who is this person? Who is the person daring to keep putting front and center, week after week, the rights of women and girls,” Tomei told guests at CARE’s “Half The Sky Live” event last Thursday evening at NYU’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.
Tomei — who co-directed with Lisa Leone — said she was more than thrilled when, out of the blue, she got a call about a film series being made based on Kristof and WuDunn’s book. “They were looking for directors, and someone else had gotten the swine flu, and therefore could I leave for Ethiopia in three days? (Pause) I happened to be free,” she shrugged with a laugh
The trailer for Cyrus has been released! It looks amazing!
Know that scene in ‘Knocked Up,’ where Seth Rogen’s character and his crew attempt to charm the pants off the ladies at the club, showing off cornball dance moves and dropping hilarious one-liners?
Ever wonder if partying with the Apatow boys is actually like that?
Indeed, it is. Last night, ABCNews.com caught up with Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly at Park City, Utah’s Bing Bar. The duo’s at Sundance promoting their dark comedy, “Cyrus,” with Marisa Tomei. They came with a few friends, including “Eastbound and Down” and “Pineapple Express” star Danny McBride and “Eastbound and Down” creator, Jody Hill. (Fans of the HBO series, don’t fear — McBride said season two is on the way.)
Reilly, who’s won acclaim for varied parts in a variety of films, including “Chicago” and the music bio-pic parody, “Walk Hard, The Dewey Cox Story,” has a new role in his sights:
“I want to play a priest,” he told ABCNews.com. “You may see me doing that soon.”
Interesting. If his rendition of a priest is anything like his rendition of a doctor, we’ll be happy.
Then the shop talk stopped and the party really got going. The Roots’ DJ Questlove kept the dance floor bumping with his superior spinning skills. McBride and Hill, clad in Utah-appropriate ski jackets and sweaters, cracked a joke as they wiped their brows in the packed bar/lounge: “It’s so cool that we come to parties and just like, sweat.”
Procter & Gamble, the company responsible for the phrase “soap operas,” is out of the daytime drama business after 76 years now that CBS is making “As the World Turns” stop spinning.
The network announced the cancellation on Tuesday, the day “As the World Turns” broadcast its 13,661st episode. Its last episode will air next September, CBS said.
It’s the second daytime drama CBS has canceled in a year, after “Guiding Light.” They were the last two produced by a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, the company for which the term “soap operas” was created because it used the shows to hawk products like Ivory soap and Duz laundry detergent.
Daytime dramas have been fading as a genre for years with more women joining the work force and the increased number of channels offering alternatives like news, talk, reality and game shows. In tough economic times, paying casts, producers and writers proved prohibitive to networks when there were cheaper alternatives.
The cancellation will leave CBS with only two daytime dramas: “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and Beautiful.” ABC has three soaps left and NBC one.
Through the years, actors Marisa Tomei, Meg Ryan, Parker Posey and James Earl Jones have appeared on “As the World Turns.” The show follows families in the Illinois town of Oakdale.
