COLIN POSSIBLY ATTENDING DONALD SUTHERLAND 'HOLLYWOOD STAR' CEREMONY...
There's talk on 'Twitter' that Colin Farrell may be attending the Donald Sutherland ceremony to honour him on the Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Taking place on Wednesday 26th January 2011 at 11.30 am.
It's a way overdue honour in my opinion; Donald is an absolutely brilliant actor. My favourite film is "Don't Look Now". The ending scared the hell outta me... in fact, I still have nightmares now and continue to be very wary of small people in red rain macs! lol

'INDEPENDENT' INTERVIEW:' YOUR VOICE IN MY HEAD'...
I've posted the interview for those who wish to read. As expected, predicted, and of course premeditated - the main 'focus' of the interview is based on Colin Farrell, and not actually Emma Forrest and her life, or the work of her therapist Dr R!
I think Colin was proabably correct in his judgement not to read the book because if he had objected to any of the pages and words dedicated to him... Ms Forrest would have probably turned it around to her advantage. And before we know it there would be a follow-up book coming out, which has been 'quickly' thrown together this time 'dedicated' to her self-analysis as to why an ex-boyfriend whom she won't name, but will leave you in no doubt as to who it really is because he didn't allow her write about him in the first place!
INDEPENDENT INTERVIEW
The former girlfriend of Colin Farrell has revealed how she offered the Irish actor the chance to vet her memoir and how he graciously declined.
In 2008 New York-based novelist Emma Forrest found herself inside a whirlwind when she began a relationship with the Castleknock star.
Their romance was only to last a year but it remains a cherished memory for the 33-year-old English writer whose acclaimed memoir Your Voice In My Head is published this month.

Asked what it's like having Hollywoood's leading man at your side, Emma told The Diary this week: "Dating Col is wonderful, so long as you don't leave the house.
"Art galleries you can just about get away with, safe because everyone's looking at the walls. Then it's like the song Paul Simon wrote about Carrie Fisher: 'Someone could walk into this room and say your life is on fire! It's all over the evening news, all about the fire in your life on the evening news'."
Despite this, the pair got on so well that at one stage it was rumoured Colin would convert to Judaism after he turned up at a Hollywood party wearing a Star Of David pendant.
But it wasn't to last.
"Everyone's best quality is also their worst quality and the fact that I've a skin too thin makes me a good writer, but is not useful when dating a movie star. I couldn't hide how much the tabloid chatter got to me. I definitely failed him there," she told me.
However, the former lovers were back in contact lately when Emma asked Colin if he wanted to read her memoir before it was published.
"He (Colin) thought about it for a bit, then sent an absolutely beautiful letter saying he didn't need to. It was such a thoughtful letter that confirmed all the good I'd seen in him. He has a copy if he ever changes his mind," she told me this week.
However, neither Colin nor anyone else is named in Emma's book, which she describes as a "love letter to the psychiatrist who saved my life after I turned up in his office following a youthful suicide attempt".
However, 'Col' could well turn up in the movie of Your Voice In My Head, whose screen rights have just been bought by Jane Eyre producer Alison Owen.
Asked if she would agree to Colin Farrell playing any of the characters in her memoir, Emma said: "I'd put him in any movie -- he's brilliant (or he wouldn't be so f*cking complicated!)"
After splitting with Emma, Colin began a two-year romance with Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curus who he met on the set of Neil Jordan film Ondine and with whom he had a son Henry.
The couple parted last October.

COLIN'S 'BABY MOMMA' GIVES HER FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE THEIR SEPARATION...
Alicja appears on the front cover of a Polish magazine having done an interview entitled: It's My Life! (could almost be a title for a new book... watch out a certain someone!) I have posted a few excerpts from the interview for anyone who wishes to read. Ms Bachleda may not be the most riveting person on the planet, but at least she intends to maintain a decorum of self-decency along with an ethical standard of behaviour towards her work. Colin should thank his lucky stars that at least this is one woman who isn't intent on trying to damage his career in order to further her own...well not yet anyway! ; - D
If Alicja Bachleda had a tatto of personal motto could be "I will cope".
- I can take time. - I can take time. But most often be sitting at home with Henio and watched it grow. But most Often be sitting at home with Henio and watched it grow.
