Claire Danes is on top of the world right now with an Emmy nomination for her lead role in HBO’s biopic Temple Grandin — now all she has to do is decide on the perfect red carpet look! HollywoodLife.com sat down with Claire, 31, Aug. 17, inside NYC’s famous Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal, where she unveiled Valspar Paint’s new hi-def colors. While there, she EXCLUSIVELY divulged who she’ll be wearing to the 2010 Emmy Awards!
“Zac Posen is making my dress. We were just working on it yesterday.”
As for how it is coming along, Claire revealed, “the color is the big question now … what color is it going to be? The actual shape is determined but the actual color … I don’t know. I think certain colors work better on me than others.”
After meeting Claire in person, we can tell you that any color will look unbelievable on the blonde stunner. But she jokingly told us there’s one color she won’t be wearing!
“I don’t think I’ll be wearing chartreuse [a mixture between yellow and green],” she said laughingly. “It’s still kind of a mystery … we will see!”
This is Claire’s second Emmy nomination, the first was back in 1994 for her role as Angela inMy So Called Life. So we had to ask Claire what it was like to be nominated for a second time!
“I was so pleased that the movie was successful creatively and then I was pleased that people connected with it and liked it,” she says. “And more than anything I was pleased that Temple recognized herself in my portrayal. This is all a lovely addition to that.”
Temple Grandin on DVD will be released in the US on August 17, 2010.
Stardust, the 2007 film from Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn, will finally get a Blu-ray release onSeptember 7, 2010.
Based on the prose and illustrated comic book series by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess (which was later released as an illustration-free novel by Gaiman), Stardust is a sprawling fantasy epic staring Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro.
While the film may have underperformed at the box office, it truly was one of my favorite films from the last decade and helped to solidify my helpless crush on Claire Danes. Stardust was a charming action-adventure that felt like a natural inheritor to the throne of The Princess Bride. Full of swashbuckling, sky pirates, witches and wicked monarchs, Stardust is the type of fun fantasy that audiences rarely get anymore.
An HD-DVD copy of the film has sat in a place of honor in my DVD collection for the last year after I traded in my DVD copy for a HD copy of the film at an unbelievably low price. Who says good things didn’t happen when HD-DVD lost the great format war of the late ’00s?
I’ll be more than happy to trade in my HD-DVD copy for a new Blu-ray version, though, especially at the promise of new special features for one of my favorite films.
Speaking of special features, supplemental material will include a commentary by Matthew Vaughn and co-writer Jane Goldman, two making-of features (“Crossing the Wall” and “Nothing is True…”), a collection of deleted scenes, a blooper reel and the film’s theatrical trailer.
The Stardust Blu-ray carries with it a $29.99 SRP, but is pre-selling right now at Amazon.com for $19.99.
June 10 – Film and television actor Claire Danes introduces an innovative new inclusive dance/theater piece commissioned by VSA from Tamar Rogoff Performance Projects. Rogoff draws her choreographic inspiration from Afternoon of a Faun and dancer Gregg Mozgala’s first-hand experience with cerebral palsy to create a creature that inhabits two worlds simultaneously. As Rogoff’s Faun moves through the seemingly disparate spheres of the operating room and the forest in the company of dancers, doctors, humans, and nymphs, the curse of separation between medicine and art is gently lifted. Dancers Emily Pope-Blackman and Lucie Baker, as well as Dr. Don Kollisch, round out this cast.
Claire Danes has admitted that she is “pretty low-maintenance” when it comes to her daily beauty routine.
The actress, who is the new spokeperson for eyelash-growing product Latisse, has revealed that she rarely wears any make-up and wouldn’t have it any other way.
Speaking to People, the 31-year-old said: “I don’t typically wear make-up during the day. I’m so accustomed to wearing make-up in my work… it’s probably the reason why I am less inclined to wear make-up in life.
“I’m pretty low-maintenance, which is another reason why Latisse is so great, I can afford to be lazier – it does all the work for me.”
Danes added: “I’ve worked with such skillful make-up artists and hairdressers that, ironically, I’m that much more ignorant about how to apply make-up myself.”

Claire Danes covers Vs. magazine’s Spring/Summer 2010 issue!
Here’s what the 30-year-old actress, who posed for photographer David Vasiljevic, had to share:
On what she looks for in a project: “I think it is really clear when a script is good and you can determine that by just reading the first fifteen pages. I look for something that is imaginative and truthful; a coherent and engaging story and a character that undergoes a transformation no matter how modest.”
On My So Called Life and the attention it still gets:“It is not something I am remotely ashamed of – quite the opposite. I feel really lucky to have been part of something that continues to resonate so many years after.”
