Here is Uma Thurman as she films scenes for her latest movie, ‘Motherhood’ in New York City. It is clear to see that Uma is you know, getting up there as she is taking on motherhood roles, but this is what Hollywood is all about, and that does not mean she is any less talented. Uma has been in the woodworks quite a bit regarding her personal life since her heated divorce with Ethan Hawke, but she may be coming out of hiding sometime soon as it is reported that she is engaged to Swiss businessman Arpad Busson. She has recently been spotted with a huge rock weighing down her left finger, a diamond that is described as so big she can’t even fit it through the sleeve of her coat. That’s a pretty big rock! She has been seeing Arpad, who she calls Arki, exclusively since last year and at the Elton John 10th White Tie and Tiara benefit in Windsor, England last night, Uma debuted her new ring. Onlookers said all the ladies were wide-eyed over the size of it but that Uma looked like she was already in wedded bliss with her Arki. Reports are that Arpad popped the question during their UK trip, and they are already planning the wedding. When they get married, it will be the ultimate blended family as Uma has two children with Ethan Hawke, and Arpad also has two children with supermodel Elle Macpherson. Congratulations to the happy couple!
It seems that Uma Thurman has been bothered by a major psycho this year, so much so that when he was caught, he was charged and sentenced to jail. Just recently her stalker has been released from jail, on probation no less, and Uma is more than a little freaked out about it. Her friendly freak goes by the name of Jack Jordan, and was convicted for fourth degree stalking and second degree aggravated harassment. He spent four months in the clink as a result and now has been ordered to obtain psychiatric treatment as part of his New York State parole agreement. Uma’s team tried to get the guy to spend a little more time behind bars, but no dice. The recommendation was rejected, and Jordan was released. He does express some remorse but also said he had no idea his behavior was scaring her. I guess when she said ‘Would you leave’ he wanted her to specifically tell him that she was scared of him. And yes, those words actually came up in the court transcripts. Mr. Koo Koo for Cocoa Puffs seems to have finally gotten the hint after thinking about it for four months so let’s hope he will leave this pretty girl alone for a while, like, forever.
Here is Uma Thurman hanging out with her main man, little as he is, her son Levon Roan as they run errands in New York City. For those that are wondering what she’s been up to, you can catch her in her next movie ‘My Zinc Bed’. But that’s not all this wonder girl has been doing. She has been spending less time in the acting trailers and more in the producer’s chair. One of her most latest works is ‘The Accidental Husband’ and Uma bought the rights to the movie several years ago and has been working with a team of writers, directors, and financiers on the project since 2001. The film is a romantic comedy that contains a little slapstick humor and some physical comedy that is bound to have people rolling in the aisles. Uma has been dedicated to this project as a means of venturing out of her more traditional dramatic roles and to break into a new genre. But that doesn’t mean you won’t see her doing dramatic anymore either as Uma is in love with her work and will go wherever it takes her. But if you want to see a different side of Uma, check out ‘The Accidental Husband’ which opens this Friday.
Uma Thurman fans will get a nice surprise on an upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar. Not only does she do an amazing photo spread, but this 37 year old actress speaks very candidly on what it’s like to be a girl in Hollywood these days. Yikes! I should be so lucky to look 1/10th as awesome as she does at 37! Uma talks to Harper about the gender differences between men and women and beauty expectations in Hollywood, how women MUST be beautiful to survive but men can get away with being a little more interesting. She also talks about her own life transitions, how her children are the center of her universe, and on how blessed she’s been with such a long career. As far as the future goes, she talks about how she always thought she’d go back to school as her interests are broad. Keep that face out of the books for at least a little while longer, Uma. We love ya! Look for her in next month’s Harper’s Bazaar.
