explosive! spending
Mr. Hogan, who directed the 1997 hit “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” starring Julia Roberts, is filming “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” with Isla Fisher in the lead role, for Touchstone Pictures, owned by the Walt Disney Company. The film is based on a literary series that began with the British publication of Sophie Kinsella’s novel with that title in 2000, about a financial journalist with relationship problems and a penchant for overspending.
But the movie is not just for women, the filmmakers insist. “We all have spending habits, a lot of us do,” said Jerry Bruckheimer, one of the film’s producers.

Also in production, from Bruckheimer Films:
Chocolate at Midnight: a story of a woman who has recently broken up with her fiancé, after finding him cheating, but who learns to love herself again by perfecting (and maybe sneaking a bite of! naughty!) her grandmother’s chocolate cake recipe, because “we all eat cake on occasion. A lot of us do.”
Big Girl Panties: the tale of a shy, bookish girl finding her inner diva, and a lot of trouble, in her first real job at a sexy lady’s lingerie company headed by the feisty Meg Ryan. “Who doesn’t like women and panties? Straight dudes LOVE chicks and panties.”
Flying with the Unicorns: starring Abigail Breslin. A young girl trying to sort out the changes of oncoming puberty, while her single mother dies of a wasting disease, must first learn to let go of her troubled past, along with her collection of stuffed unicorns. “Mythical creatures have broad appeal. Look at the Chronicles of Narnia films. Harry Potter. Pirates of the Caribbean. This is totally like those.”
That’s Why They Call Them Periods: starring Julia Roberts. A woman’s early-onset menopause keeps her from pursuing her one dream, finding that great guy and having babies—but after months in China, she finds the love she’s been dreaming of isn’t a man at all. She also adopts six attractive, dependent, loving orphans. Soon she realizes that she, too, can leave her old life, and penises, behind her forever. “I’d like to see Julia Roberts lez out, wouldn’t you? Wouldn’t you??”
