Monica to visit Bulgaria next year

According to website Sofia OGGI, Ms. Bellucci might be visiting Bulgaria next year in order to attend the Karin Models contest in Varna, during the month of August. This is just a rumour, so nothing’s certain yet.

Also, Monique got invited to join the cast of a new movie (the title is Segno di Dio, based on the novel by Ilia Velchev) that will be shooting in Bulgaria as well.

Jodi Ross’s Uncut Interview with Monica Bellucci

Here’s a nice (old) video interview Monica did while promoting Shoot ‘Em Up, back in 2007.

Is Monica Bellucci pregnant?

According to some romanian websites (including Mediafax), Ms. Bellucci is expecting baby #2 with husband Vincent Cassel. The actress has broken the news she is three months pregnant to her colleagues on the set of The Whistleblowers which she is shooting right now in Bucharest with Rachel Weisz and Vanessa Redgrave.

No comments or official announcements are available from her rep at the moment.

‘The Private Lives of Pippa Lee’ opening in US theaters

The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is opening Friday Nov. 27 in US theaters! Even though Ms. Bellucci has a very small role in it, American fans should not miss this. The film and Monique are getting rave reviews:

“Monica Bellucci is magnetic as a bonkers ex”

“In addition to the always wonderful Arkin, plus a hilarious brittle role for Ryder, there are telling cameos from Moore (as a rebellious ‘aunt’), Bellucci (as a sexy ex)”

“There’s also terrific support from a note-perfect supporting cast that includes Arkin (who has chemistry with both Penn and Lively), Reeves, Moore, Bello, a super-sultry Bellucci”

“A strong supporting cast, including stunning Blake Lively as a young Pippa, Julianne Moore, Winona Ryder and Monica Bellucci, do a decent job.”

“It’s a simply wonderful cast. [...] and Monica Bellucci’s glamourous, drama-queen heiress Gigi who has her own ideas about divorce. (The lavish lunch Gigi organises before promising a divorce – involving a pig, a cow and a gun – is unforgettable.)”

“With these two at the film’s centre, and Keanu Reeves, Monica Bellucci, Maria Bello, Julianne Moore and Winona Ryder in supporting roles, there was never going to be much messing about – the ensemble playing is first-class throughout.”

“Buttressed by a formidable cast (including Winona Ryder as Pippa’s neurotic friend and Monica Bellucci as Herb’s first wife)”

“[...] but underpinning it all is the fine cast (there are striking turns, additionally, from Winona Ryder as Pippa’s absent-minded friend and Monica Bellucci as Herb’s first wife)”

“What Miller’s movie does possess in spades is a spry, oddball streak of humour and an assembly line of funky character parts for cool, charisma-packed actresses like Maria Bello, Winona Ryder, Julianne Moore and Monica Bellucci, who keep the blood pumping”

Monica’s in Bucharest
