I just wanted to post real quick about what’s going on with updates at this website. First thing, I want to make it clear that I am not abandoning this website at all! I currently picked up a second job during the holiday season, so my time is spent working 14+ hours on most days. When I am off work, I will continue to work on updates for this website and the other websites I run. I will try to update at least 2 times a month, but please don’t hold me to that. Normal updating should resume sometime in January 2009, when my second job will end. Thank you for the understanding and I hope you all have a great holiday season!

I have updated the fan interactions sections with some new entries. Thank you to those who submitted!

I want to apologize for the lack of updates around here. I still have a lot planned for this website and I will be adding them. I just recently picked up a second job and right now I’m just trying to balance that out. Once I get things settled, regular updates will resume. I’m hoping to start adding some things this coming weekend! Thank you for your patience!

Today, November 6th, is Thandie’s birthday! I want to wish Thandie an amazing day filled with family, friends and loved ones.

As reported earlier, Thandie was in attendance at the London Film Festival this week. She attended screenings of the film “Rachel Getting Married” and of course her latest film, “W.”. You can view photos from both event by clicking on the thumbnails below.

I want to thank everyone who commented about the website - I really appreciate your nice words! I have a lot more stuff to add to this site - more event photos and I just finished capping “Run Fatboy Run” - so please continue to drop on by!

Shooting two films back-to-back — W, in theaters now, and RocknRolla, in wide release on Oct. 31 — has kept Thandie Newton busy, but the “condensed” schedule ultimately means she’ll have more time to spend with daughters Ripley, 8, and Nico, 4. Although there was a time in her career Thandie would have likely brought the girls along on location, the 35-year-old actress says that those days are over. “Because Ripley is now at school, and she loves her school, she loves her friends, it’s better for all of us if I just do my work for five days and then come back home,” Thandie said during a recent appearance on The Rachael Ray Show. In any event Nico and Ripley — so-named after Sigourney Weaver’s character in Alien, whom Thandie admired for being both tough and feminine at the same time — are in good hands.

“When my husband is with them when I’m away, they are eating pizza in bed until 10 at night. All of that stuff…it’s lovely.”

Ripley and Nico are Thandie’s children with husband Ol Parker, whom she married in 1998.
