Getting in some quality time together, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault checked out the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2013 runway show in Paris, France today (September 27).
And the happily married couple looked cozy as they walked arm-in-arm through the busy streets of Paris Fashion Week, stopping to pose for a few pictures along the way.
In a recent interview, Salma confessed that prior to getting hitched to Pinault, she wasn?t sure there was such a thing as wedded bliss.
"I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable ? that it was something they just put up with for their children."
She continued, "I really enjoy having somebody that I can be weak with. If I'm insecure or afraid, I can talk about it, and he'll give me strength and courage. With us, there's no power struggle. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me, and he feels the same way."

These are some photos of Salma Hayek at the Rome photocall for Savages. I?m also including a photo of John Travolta looking like he?s about to say ?Hey, girl!? in a sassy way. As for Salma? I still don?t know what kind of crack you people were smoking when you yelled at me after I yelled at Salma for describing herself as ?at the limit of chubbiness at all times.? I?m sorry, but I still hate that she described herself that way. That?s an insult to truly chubby girls, and I find it so very patronizing, especially given how crazy-awesome her body actually is. LOOK AT IT. This is not a woman who is one Snickers away from ‘Chubby Tragedy’. For the love of God.
Anyway, there are more excerpts from Salma?s More Magazine piece. She really has turned into Goop. Only richer (haha on Goop).
Salma Hayek is happily married these days, but looking back, she didn’t believe such a feeling would be possible.
“I didn’t think marriage worked,” she tells More in its October issue cover story. “I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable ? that it was something they just put up with for their children.”
But since saying “I do” to French billionaire Franois-Henri Pinault on Valentine’s Day of 2009, the actress, 46, sees things very differently.
“I have a master of decision-making helping me out, so of course my life and my career are better,” she explains. “I really enjoy having somebody that I can be weak with. If I’m insecure or afraid, I can talk about it, and he’ll give me strength and courage. With us, there’s no power struggle. I don’t mind doing things for him because he does so much for me, and he feels the same way.”
Hayek, who gave birth to the couple’s daughter Valentina, 5, in 2007, is a devoted mom, but she also makes personal time for herself and Pinault. Teasing that she has texts which “would surprise you,” Hayek goes on to say, “I can show you a thousand things. But I’m not going to.”

Well, her confession of thinking ?everybody who was married was secretly miserable? is the solace of many single women. I will admit to thinking that sometimes too, when I think to myself, ?Should I regret not settling down at my age? Eh. I?d probably be miserable, just like nearly every married woman.? It?s the way I justify my unmarried status to myself. So? I can relate to that. As for all of the ?But Now That I?m Married, Everything Is Hearts and Candy!? stuff ? meh. She had to stand by as her billionaire husband tried to cheap out on his barely-acknowledged son. Is it worth it?

These are some photos of Salma Hayek and her husband Francois at the opening of the Luc Besson’s Cit du Cinma in Paris two nights ago. Thoughts on the styling? It?s particularly unflattering, isn?t it? I know a lot of you throw shade at Salma?s looks, but I still think she?s a gorgeous woman with an incredible body, and I don?t think any of this does her any favors. Bad hair with weird little bang-lets/fringe and an unflattering and matronly blousy black dress. Topped off with that enormous diamond necklace. I guess Salma wanted the jewelry to be on display, but it feels like the necklace is an afterthought with all of the other stuff we have to deal with.
Now, even though I?m wary of throwing shade at Salma?s beauty, I will continue to think that Salma is rather full of herself, and lacking in some self-awareness. Salma covers the new issue of More Magazine Canada, and some of the interview excerpts are? um?
On not worrying about being thin: “I’m not a skinny girl. I push it. I’m at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I’m happy at all times.”
On her weakness for food: “Everybody has a weakness. Mine is food. If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse.”
On making it as an actress: “I was smart enough to realize that [Mexican soap opera] was not good acting, and I wanted to be a really good actress. I started from the bottom all over again. I was prepared to be unknown, but I was not prepared to be rejected so many times and to be made fun of because I came from a Mexican soap opera. It was almost like, ‘How dare you think you can be an actress here?’ Like I was a stupid person for considering that possibility. God, we set them straight!”
On the happiness she feels in her 40s: “I feel more relaxed. I don’t have to prove something. I don’t have that urge of ‘Something’s missing, gotta get out there and find it somehow.’ I was always dreaming big, but my life is better than anything I dreamed.”
On whether she?s a pushy mom: ?I make an effort to be laid back and often I want to give her space, and then I catch myself doing things. In Paris I had a birthday party with a piata with kids, who were Mexican, they were boys and they were older. She was really concerned she wouldn’t be able to take a candy when the piata broke. I said, ‘Don’t worry’. When the piata broke, she couldn’t get in, I was pushing them, trying to get in. And then I caught myself and I thought, ‘I’ve turned into one of those mothers!’ I moved away. I think I’m a bit of both. I think we all are.?
Valentina?s Olympic dreams: ?She’s into the gymnastics because of the Olympics. It’s amazing how she points her toes, like a little bird or something. She’s doing it every day.?
[From Gossip Center, Monsters & Critics]
Hearing Salma Hayek describe herself as ?I’m at the limit of chubbiness at all times? makes me want to bash my head into a wall. She?s NOT chubby. Having a petite hourglass figure is NOT chubby. I don?t want anyone ? much less Salma Hayek ? to start redefining the word ?chubby?. As for her insistence that she showed the world that she was or is some kind of great actress? ugh. I don?t think she?s an awful actress, but she?s not ?God, we set them straight!?-quality, you know? What Salma has is watchability and a star quality, which is not to be confused with Great Acting.

The tags on these pics said “Salma Hayek photo shoot More Canada,” and I instantly thought to myself, “More Canada?” Who could possibly want more Canada? As far as I’m concerned, there’s too much Canada as it is! You know they’re responsible for “Bieber Fever,” right?
Salma Hayek’s Azziz dress $3990.00, so if you’re going for a dip in the pool, you might wanna
try this Susan Monaco instead. It’s a little more purple than it is red, but it’s only $215, so you won’t feel as bad about soaking it chlorine and other people’s urine.

These are some photos of Salma Hayek over the past few days in England, where she?s been promoting Savages. The photos of Salma and Oliver Stone (where he seems to be too focused on her rack) are from the London photocall for Savages, and the other pics are just from outside of various TV studios where Salma?s been doing interviews. I don?t have any of the designer IDs on the outfits, so if anyone wants to inform me, go right ahead. I?m assuming they?re all pieces from the design houses that her husband owns. While in London, Salma described what it?s like to have unlimited access to all of those clothes:
Salma said: “I am so, so lucky. I am the luckiest girl in the world, really. And still with access to everything I could possibly want I still say ‘Oh dear, what am I going to wear today?! There’s no ending to that question!”
Although her husband’s company owns many of the labels, Salma insists that he still pays.
She said: “He [Franois-Henri] still pays for it, so I feel always like I can’t just go and take anything I want, you know? I could, because he is really nice to me, but I always feel I cannot become that, some crazy woman that comes and takes half the store.”
[From Hello Magazine]
He still pays. I guess that?s supposed to make us feel better? That even her billionaire husband ? who OWNS all of those labels ? still pays for the clothes?
Meanwhile, this interview with Salma also caught my eye. You know how Salma has launched her own skincare line, aimed at Latina skin care specifically? Well, Salma also has some down-home skin care tips. And they seem kind of weird to me.
She is an undeniable big screen beauty and she has a picture perfect face that is clear of any blemishes. However, Salma Hayek admitted that she achieves her skin perfection by never washing her face when she wakes up in the morning.
At 46-years-old the actor looks much younger than her age, and she attributes her less than hygienic regime as the secret behind her skin perfection.
Speaking to Kate Garraway on ITV’1 Lorraine, Salma said: ‘OK, one tip – always wash your face at night. Clean it. You don’t have to wash it, but you have to clean it really, really well at night.’
The From Dusk Till Dawn star said: ‘One strange tip – don’t wash it in the morning, at all, never. Because at night your skin is rebuilding some of the oils that you need to keep your skin young, and it balances the PH. So in the morning if you take them off – you can splash it with water, do something mild – but you don’t want to get rid of that. And if your skin is dirty in the morning, it means you didn’t clean well at night.’
With one secret out the bag, Salma was happy to share even more of her knowledge on maintaining a youthful appearance. The mother-of-one developed her own range of beauty products that she uses all the time and only sells in one store over in America.
She said: ‘I’m not very trim, but I don’t have as many wrinkles as probably I should. But I do use, I use my products but you don’t sell them, I just sell them in only one drug store in the States. And I do a lot of that for 10 years, and I’ve been using that stuff even since before, so I use creams, it’s creams.’
The Mexican born actor stars in new Oliver Stone movie Savages, alongside John Travolta, Benicio Del Toro and Taylor Kitsch. The big budget thriller tells the tale of waring drug cartels and the violence that the narcotics business contributes to society.
Salma said of her role in the film: ‘I am the queen of the most important drug cartel in Mexico. I think it’s important people see that for people who consume drugs and they think, ‘There’s nothing wrong with just a little bit, I’m not going to die from it’, you might not die from it, but you buying it – for that to get to you, a lot of people died. So the people that use drugs somehow contribute to this violence and this business.’
[From The Mail]
I have never heard the ?don?t wash your face in the morning? thing. I need to ask my mom about that, because my mom is the queen of low-budget makeup and skincare fixes, and she has great skin (fingers crossed that I age like her). I wash my face before I go to bed. I wash my face? well, not as soon as I get up, but I get up, eat breakfast and watch the news for a half an hour, then I take a shower just before I ?go to work? (walk to the computer). And I?m washing my face or splashing water on my face throughout the day too, because I rarely wear makeup and why not? Is this the wrong way to handle it? Does Salma?s advice only apply to certain skin types? My skin is pretty oily. If I don?t wash my face a few times a day, I feel greasy.

So Oliver Stone got caught staring at Salma Hayek‘s massive cleavage at the Savages photocall, but can you blame him? Salma’s boobs are so big they’ve got their own gravitational pull, and our eyes are powerless against it. It’s a good thing I can touch type. Otherwise, you probably never would’ve even seen this post.

These are photos of Salma Hayek and John Travolta in France, where they were doing some kind of photocall for Savages, the Oliver Stone film. I was going to talk about Salma Hayek and her unflattering dress, but I can?t find the designer ID, and the dress really isn?t that exciting, good or bad. It?s just kind of dull and poofy and someone with her amazing figure should be able to find better clothes with ease, so it?s a shame.
But I really want to discuss John Travolta?s wiglet situation. It?s getting worse, right? Granted, I think this is the same wiglet he was wearing in New York when he promoted Savages ? this must be his offical ?I worked with Oliver Stone? Wiglet. So even though I?ve seen it before, it never stops being amazing. It never stops being hilarious. I can?t even imagine what it?s like to be John Travolta, with all of those secrets and hidden psychological compartments, so many desires and urges to keep tamped down. And in the end, people are just looking at his wiglet in bewilderment. Carrie Fisher once said about John, ?My feeling about John has always been that we know and we don?t care. Look, I?m sorry that he?s uncomfortable with it, and that?s all I can say.? She said that about his sexuality. But should could have also been discussing his hair situation.

| | Salma Hayek in black Stella McCartney in Deauville: unbelievably unflattering? | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

These are newish photos of Salma Hayek closing out the Deauville Film Festival ? she attended the closing ceremony (Salma in the black dress) and did a photocall for Savages and for her Deauville retrospective honor/lifetime achievement thing (the light dress). I think Salma looked amazing at the Savages photocall ? I love when she does big hair, and I love when she wears simpler dresses and gowns. But I absolutely LOATHE the black dress. I find it offensive that a designer would do THAT to a beautiful woman with a great figure. Oh, just guess who designed this unflattering crap? Just guess. You already know. Stella McCartney!!!! Of course. Of course it?s Stella McCartney. No wonder I?m so offended. No wonder the fit is off and the design looks cheap and the whole thing is ridiculously unflattering.
Meanwhile, THR had a decent interview with Salma at Deauville. I consider the ?for those who are wondering: 46, and no Botox!? statement to be the biggest lead:
Though Salma Hayek may be a bit young for the Deauville American Film Festival to honor her career? “for those who are wondering: 46, and no Botox!” she beamed? at her press conference, she was ready to look back on a career that first began in the 1980s in Mexican soap operas, and transitioned to Hollywood in 1991.
With her husband, PPR capo Franois-Henri Pinault and four-year-old daughter Valentina in the front row, Hayek teared up recalling the serendipitous funding of her ?passion project since I was 14,? Frida, when a private funder wrote a check at the 11th hour, just as executive producer Harvey Weinstein had threatened to take the project over himself.
“I?m going to scare my daughter,” Hayek sniffled. “She?s never seen me cry!” (Valentina didn?t look too worried, snapping iPhone pictures of her mother throughout.)
Looking all the way back to her childhood in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, she credited the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for inspiring her love of movies and acting in the first place.
“I realized in cinema you could have a river made out of chocolate, chew gum and then burp yourself back down to earth, take flowers made out of candy and eat them,” she explained. “I was always a bit sad, being raised Catholic, at the idea that we only got to live one life, so acting was my way of cheating this concept. As an actress, I can live many lives and I?ve been many different people.? Though she added, ?Now I believe in reincarnation so I?m not as anxious.”
Writer-director Robert Rodriguez and his ex-wife and former producing partner Elizabeth Avillar will always hold a special place in herheart, too. “Elizabeth is the first one who called me, after Robert saw me complaining on Mexican TV that there were no parts for Mexicans in Mexico. If it weren?t for those two, I wouldn?t be here today.”
She continued, “I?m grateful to everyone who gave me an opportunity but strangely there hasn?t been that many. I?ve had to fight very, very hard for every silly small role.?
Deauville marks the French premiere of Oliver Stone?s Savages, in which Hayek plays a pot-dealing kingpin, and though Hayek loved working with Stone, who she said let her give a lot of character input, the process frustrated her.
“(Stone) wouldn?t let me do more than one take!” she exclaimed. “The other actors got more than one and with me no. I wanted to spend more time in the character, but Oliver liked what he saw. He didn?t want to play with me anymore!”
Still, the truncated experience is a gauge for Hayek to measure how far she, and other Latinos and women in Hollywood, have come.
“When I started, everyone said there was no chance for a Mexican actress with an accent to have a career. Maybe a maid in a small part, because if it?s a maid with a big part, the maid is blonde! Maybe the wife of a drug dealer with one line or just crying. Today you can be the queen of the drug cartel!”
Though she admitted to having considered quitting acting after the birth of her daughter, Hayek is now happy to extend what she sees as “my maybe 15 minutes left as an actress.” After that, she will take a seat in the director?s chair again, which has been empty for her since the 2003 TV drama The Maldonado Miracle.
Though Hayek doesn?t have any projects lined up at the moment, “it?s what I like to do the most the most the most. But please don?t write about it because nobody wants to hire an actress who wants to be a director. Forget about it, it?s death.?
[From The Hollywood Reporter]
She self-identifies as a Mexican-American actress, yet she ?hardly has any memories of what it is to be Mexican?? I?m half-joking, of course ? I think Salma really did have to struggle when she came to Hollywood, and she really did break some glass ceilings for Latina actresses, especially those with accents. That being said, who remembers those struggles when you?re married to a billionaire, living in France and all of your husband?s friends and colleagues give you clothes and whatever else you want?

Taking a break from the cinematic excitement, Salma Hayek and her husband Francois-Henri Pinault enjoyed an afternoon stroll with their daughter Valentina in Venice, Italy on Saturday (September 1).
Rocking one of her amazing dresses, the 45-year-old actress and her billionaire hubby strolled down the romantic streets as their four-year-old daughter excitedly ran ahead of them.
The pair has already taken in an elegant night at the 2012 Venice Film Festival as they were spotted at the Gucci Awards for Women in Cinema on Friday night (August 31).
Miss Hayek graced the red carpet in a black cap sleeved gown with a deep plunging V-neckline, while hubby Francois-Henri finessed a black tuxedo with black bowtie.
