Beyoncé Is No Sasha Fierce, Says Pal
Originally posted 12/05/2008 09:00AM
They costar in the new film Cadillac Records, but Gabrielle Union and Beyoncé go way back.
"I've known her since she was a teenager!" Union told PEOPLE at Ideal Bite's "Best in Green" Awards on Thursday. "It's been nice to see that her music and her lifestyle choices and her acting choices have all evolved as she's gotten older."
Most notably? The development of Beyoncé's stage persona, Sasha Fierce.
"Beyoncé is quiet and reserved, very Southern, sweet and polite," Union said. "If someone told me that girl was gonna go on stage and do the kind of performances that she does, and be so fiery, and this quintessential and iconic entertainer, I'd be [in disbelief], like, 'Yeah, okay!' "

Angie Harmon once skinny-dipped with her husband, Jason Sehorn, on a private beach in Bora Bora. But now the Women's Murder Club star is stripping down in front of the entire world. Harmon is one of five celebs – including Gabrielle Union, Jill Scott, Zoe McLellan and Ana Ortiz – who shed their clothes in Allure's May issue.
And Harmon says the photo shoot isn't about selling sex, "It's about showing the female body in a positive, beautiful way." And singer-actress Jill Scott agrees, telling the magazine she hopes her pictorial inspires other women. "Here I am, naked in a magazine at size 16 ... We are all beautiful, each and every one of us."

Trying to decide whether to shop for a new dress or donate more to help the tsunami victims in South Asia? Worry no more. Malcolm in the Middle star Jane Kaczmarek and husband Bradley Whitford (The West Wing) once again have gotten lots of top-shelf stars to donate their Golden Globes looks, to be auctioned off via their organization Clothes Off Our Back – and this year, proceeds benefit the UNICEF Tsunami Relief Fund. Nominee Kate Winslet (for best actress in a film comedy for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) has agreed to donate her gown, as have Desperate Housewives' Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman (both up for best actress in a TV comedy). Looking for something more mature? Nominees Blythe Danner (for best actress in a TV movie for Back When We Were Grownups) and William Shatner (for best supporting actor in a TV series for Boston Legal) are also donating their togs. Warm up your wallets: The auction begins Monday on the Clothes Off Our Back Web site.

Breakin' Up with Gabrielle
Originally posted 04/27/2004 9:00AM
Though Jamie Foxx's character in the upcoming romantic comedy Breakin' All the Rules (due May 14) pens a book about leaving a significant other, in real life, costar Gabrielle Union has her own sage advice on the subject. "My first tip is not to use random excuses like, 'It's not you – it's me' or 'We're going in opposite directions.' You leave people wondering for years and it carries over into their next relationship," Union, 31, tells Daily Insider. "If you were just honest and said, 'I started hating the way you dressed' or 'I can't stand the fact that your mother calls every morning and you actually take the calls,' then they can go into the next relationship with a clear conscience. The second thing? Change your numbers. Cut off all contact. You have to go cold turkey and allow the other person to not be able to linger. That desire to just have one little roll in the sack, (it) won't hurt – yes, it will. Finally, out of kindness, don't debut your new date in areas where you run the risk of running into your ex. It's just evil." Well, okay. Did you get all that?
