I thought this was awesome news in that the photographer, Giuliano Bekor, shot regularly for Lucire. From the Lucire ‘Insider’ section.

Giuliano Bekor, whose credits include numerous Lucire shoots, photographed Hayden Panettiere for her 2008 Candie’s print campaign.

Hayden Panettiere will star in Candie’s back to school 2008 television, print and online advertising campaign, according to the company. Hayden, who is known as an award-winning actress, activist and star of NBC’s hit television series Heroes can now add recording artist to her résumé.
   Following last year’s marketing campaign with Grammy-award winning artist Fergie, the new fall TV commercial will be a direct lift from Panettiere’s first music video, ‘Wake Up Call’, which was styled using Candie’s apparel, footwear and accessories.
   This is Panettiere’s second season with the brand.
   To coincide with TV, a print campaign will feature Panettiere in a variety of sexy and sweet vignettes as she playfully poses with a piano, behind a beaded curtain and in a club-like setting among others. The ‘Wake Up Call’ video and the Candie’s commercial were shot in Los Angeles by famed music video director Chris Applebaum and the print campaign was shot by fashion photographer Giuliano Bekor, whose credits include Lucire, and created by the Iconix in-house marketing team.
   Fans can listen to ‘Wake Up Call’ exclusively at www.candies.com and www.kohls.com/inspire (streaming only) beginning today. The single will be available for download on iTunes beginning August 5. The single is being released by Hollywood Records.

It’s 2008 and two of the three Lucire ‘Insider’ entries are about Keira Knightley. It looks like 2007 was very much Miss Knightley’s year, if all these polls are anything to go by.
   From the Press Association: ‘The emerald green dress worn by Keira Knightley in Atonement has been voted the best film costume of all time.’ The remainder of the story as well as the next nine are at the original post.
   The second, earlier post about Miss Knightley was about her being voted 2007’s beauty icon by the British public, beating Kelly Brook, Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham. It also appears in article form on the site.

A blast from the past. Glynis Barber from Blake’s 7, Dempsey and Makepeace and Emmerdale speaks on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV. It’s great to see Glynis looking so fab as her second cop role comes to an end. The Emmerdale clip is missing between the two videos below. The second video sees Glynis discussing Dempsey and Makepeace and The Graduate.

Actress Lois Maxwell, who played Miss Moneypenny in 14 James Bond films from Dr No to A View to a Kill, has passed away in Fremantle, Western Australia, aged 80. She had moved to Australia to be closer to her son after being diagnosed with cancer, reports the BBC.
   She’ll always be the definitive Moneypenny to me, having grown up through the Roger Moore Bond years.
   What I remember from the Bond histories is that Lois Maxwell was Canadian and lied about her age to get in to the Entertainment Corps of the Canadian Army at 15. She and Roger Moore were classmates at RADA. What did surprise me from the BBC report is that Maxwell also worked as a columnist for the Toronto Sun newspaper.
   She had guest roles in The Saint (playing different characters), The Persuaders, Department S, UFO (where she also played the boss’s secretary) and other actioners in the 1960s and 1970s.
   Here at JY&A we’ll always have a reminder of her as one of the computers is named Moneypenny.
   Farewell, Lois.

 
We haven’t linked this publicly yet, but readers may enjoy a preview of an article on actress Ashley Scott, whom I interviewed last year. We didn’t get to use all the pictures by Andrew Matusik, and there was an error in the print edition on attribution, so the online one fixes these issues. In addition, we’ve updated the article slightly to reflect Ashley’s work on the TV series Jericho, currently screening on TV3 in New Zealand.
   That means we have had three Lucire profiles this year on the website about celebrities with connections with the Carolinas. Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker has North Carolina roots, while Miss New Zealand Laural Barrett and Louisiana-born Ashley have South Carolina ones: Ashley was raised in Charleston, SC, and still believes the Holy City to be one of her favourite places.
