Elizabeth Banks: Motherhood Will Not Stop Me From Acting

Elizabeth Maresal Mitchell born February 10, 1974, known professionally as Elizabeth Banks, is an American actress. Banks had her film debut in the low-budget independent film Surrender Dorothy. Since then, she is best known for her roles in the films Definitely, Maybe, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, W., Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer, The Uninvited and the Spider-Man franchise.Elizabeth Banks admits she's balancing her career and being a new mom to son Felix "not that well," but regardless, she isn't planning to slow down anytime soon.

"I'm not really a break-taker," Banks, 37, told PEOPLE with a laugh on Saturday while promoting her latest flick, Our Idiot Brother. "I'll just keep on going, and then we'll see. You do it. You push through just like any other working mom."

On television, Banks currently stars in the recurring role of Avery Jessup on the sitcom 30 Rock, which gained her a nomination for an Emmy Award. Previously, Banks had starred in the recurring role of Dr. Kim Briggs on Scrubs from 2006 to 2009.
Elizabeth Banks attended the BAFTA Brits to Watch Gala that was held at the Belasco Theatre on Saturday July 9th as part of Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s North American tour.The 30 Rock actress opted for a white, one-shoulder gown with gold button details from Versace. She completed the look with white shoes and a gold clutch, all from the same designer.
I’ll just keep on going, and then we’ll see. You do it. You push through just like any other working mom.”

She continues, “I don’t want to say I take it day by day, but I pretty much take it month by month. My life is now in monthly increments.”
    “All I can tell you is that Effie does have pink hair. When the hair and makeup was finished, we had all these people in the trailer and it was like everybody just got giddy all at once, like, “We did it!” and “This is Effie! It’s going to be awesome!” We were so happy.”

As it turns out, EB had read the book long before it was in talks to become a film:

    “I read the book a long time ago. I was a very early adopter. I’d actually just read a book called The Maze Runner, which is another great book with a similar theme, but it has a male protagonist … my husband and I are always looking for properties to produce. So we had an advance reader’s copy of The Maze Runner.”
Ever since VH1 put together their strange list of title-only relevant music for their fantasy soundtrack for ‘The Hunger Games’, I’ve wanted to put together my own list of artists and song types I’d like to see on the various albums that will be coming out for the movies. I tried picking songs that fit both the various environments of the book and specific scenes. For some, I just love their voices, so I threw something in that would showcase that well.

The studio execs were like, ‘People don’t want to see girls [in the bathroom].’ And I was like, ‘I’m writing from experience! You go to a club and you have to wait in a huge line, so people double up. And, yes, you think you’re only going to take a little pee, but sometimes some poops come out.’ We never got the pooping scene as right as they got it in ‘Bridesmaids.’”

ellie goulding singing at the Royal Wedding

In a recent interview to Standard Magazine singer Ellie Goulding talks about her encounter to the royal couple and how they invited her to sing at their wedding. The forces aligned neatly in May for this episode: Osama bin Laden's death had been announced five days earlier; the show started strong with Fred Armisen as bin Laden and later had Jason Sudeikis as Satan, I've had my real rock'n'roll phase and I don't want to go back to it because I wasn't in a good place then.  I didn't realise where I was heading. And I didn't realise I'd end up here.' In 2011 she will take on her first American tour after the American release of Bright Lights and see the release of her collaboration with Tinie Tempah when his single “Wonderman” is released. And that's my dark side, I suppose, and I have to accept it will never fully leave me. The 24-year-old singer was introduced to the couple in May 2010 after her performance at the Radio 1'...

josh hamilton died,,,when he was trying to catch a foul ball

A tragic accident occurred Thursday in Arlington, Texas, where the Texas Rangers were playing the Oakland Athletics, when a 39-year-old fan fell to his death after trying to catch a foul ball thrown by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. Oh how things have changed in a single year for LeBron James. It's been 365 days since the infamous "Decision" and I'm not sure that time has heeled this particular wound. Still, in the grand scheme of things, you'd have to say James, the Heat, and the NBA don't regret "the Decision"...ESPN might. In one year, the Heat came within a few games of a championship, James shook off some of his critics (at least through the Eastern Conference Finals), and the NBA Finals received tremendous ratings. night died after Josh Hamilton tossed a foul ball to him in the second inning. Shannon Stone, a Brownwood, Texas, firefighter attending the game with his young son, was along the left field outfield wall and fell throu...
