FHM = For Me Magazine? – Thank You

RichE — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:11:46 +0000

I think you can guess where this is going.

Would any of our France-based readership be willing to buy and send me a copy of December’s FHM? So far my attempts to get one in the UK have come to nothing. You will, of course, be fully reimbursed for your efforts. I’ll even throw in some eternal gratitude

Or do you know a place in the UK where a copy could be obtained?

Please use the contact form to let me know.

Update: I just wanted to post a quick update to say a public thank you to the people that have contacted me regarding this. I’m not going to name names (you know who you are) but I greatly appreciate the time and effort you’ve gone to on my behalf. I am very lucky to have such a great group of people reading my little site. I’m still open to offers though. If I get extra copies I’m happy to distribute them further afield.

FHM France December 2009 – The Interview

RichE — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:35:56 +0000

We are yet again indebted to zoé for her efforts on our behalf. This time she has taken pity on us, the great uneducated masses, and translated Kathryn’s recent FHM interview into English.

Madame Cold

At 40, the heroine of Cold Case has decided to re-open the case “sexy blonde”…

Blonde, cold and sad… in Cold Case, detective Lilly Rush re-opens files of unsolved murders which often contain a fair amount of melancholy. Blonde, fresh and sparkling… in real life Kathryn Morris is much less icy than the atmosphere in the archives of the Philadelphia Police Department. And she proves it by accepting, at just 40, to pose undressed for FHM. Pictures that will quickly join our office files of “hot cases”.

So how was the photoshoot for FHM?

It was really fun! I felt sufficiently confident to play the seduction card, in a way I think sexy!

And when do you feel really sexy?

Since I have confidence in myself and I don’t try anymore to prove anything. I am as I am. It’s the fact of feeling good about oneself and well adjusted which makes one feel sexy. Since I turned 40, I have felt better, stronger. With the experience, but also success, I learned to let loose and not to worry about small things. But it took time. Younger, I was not very feminine. I was shy and a little clumsy!

How did you land the role of Lilly Rush?

At first, I came to Hollywood to make movies (she played the ex-wife of Tom Cruise in Minority Report and we saw her in AI, 2 movies by Spielberg) and I wasn’t thinking of TV. But the producers were sure that I was the ideal actress to portray Lilly Rush and they insisted. I finally agreed to meet Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the show. A few days later, I was on the set.

It has been going for seven years now?

Yes. And after all these years in the skin of Lilly, I learned to love her. I even started to see her as a human being whose evolution I follow as a privileged witness. A TV show, it’s an incredible experiment. It’s difficult, but it’s worth it.

What does it feel to be now classified as a “Hollywood Blonde”?

It is an old stereotype, but I can live with it. And the bleached blonde is so beautiful in black and white movies. But I’m fine with being “classified” like you said next to Marylin Monroe, Farah Fawcett or even Barbie!

You are, however, not really a Barbie?

It’s true that because of Barbie’s measurements, it is said that all the little girls want to have a thin body! America is obsessed by weight. In Europe, you prefer women who have curves.

Speaking of Europe, what do you think of the French?

What matters for a man in the US are work and money. I visited Paris several times and I am under the impression that the French appreciate more beauty, poetry and the good things in life. Especially, they pay more attention to women and are able to understand them, deep down.

We believe that you are currently single?

I had been with somebody for 9 years, which is kind of a record in Hollywood. But our paths took too different directions. We left each other on the air of “I love you enough to let you go.” I always wanted to be an actress. It was, and remains, my priority before romance or marriage. Besides, I don’t feel the need to submit paperwork in a town hall to prove my love or my attachment to someone.

So, what does it take to seduce you?

The way to my heart first of all is by kindness. Be nice. One needs also passion. Finally chemistry is important! But that, we know it from the first kiss! When I fall in love, it is often by noticing little defects of a man, his imperfections, like a scar or a crooked tooth! Ah, lastly, you should also ask yourself whether you have enough self confidence to be with somebody who has success and can earn more money than you. I know it sounds trivial, but if we don’t raise these issues, it cannot work.

Have you ever Googled your name?

Frankly, typing “Kathryn Morris” and searching for information on me would be the best way to become nuts! I am not really a fan of Internet. For example, I don’t like to buy things online, I prefer to go to the store. I own a blackberry and an iPhone, I used them to check my emails, and that’s it. I’m not really an expert in technology.

What are you currently listening to in your iPod?

I adore U2, it’s really the group of my generation. I also like Coldplay. In fact, I especially listen to rock, like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or Blondie.

FHM France December 2009 – Update

RichE — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:58:53 +0000

Stop. Right. There.

Before you, yes I’m talking to you, go any further we need to get something out the way.

Everyone on the Internet repeat after me “thank you zoé”. Got that. All together now: “thank you zoé”. Was that everyone? I’m not convinced. One more time to be sure: “thank you zoé”. It’s people like zoé putting in the time and effort that make this site what it is. OK. On to the pictures.

For anyone concerned about the content, don’t be. The cover image, seen previously, is as “much” as it gets. I’d say they are actually missing an image: the obligatory looking over the shoulder shot. As I suspected these are by the same photographer as the Télé 7 Jours photo.

6 new images are in the Gallery.

Now go out and buy a copy. Immediately! Heck, buy 2!

Update: The 6 images have been replaced by larger, slightly better quality versions.

FHM FTW? – Update x4

Huge thanks to Lester for bring this to my attention.

This came as a bit of a shock. We even questioned the authenticity of the image. Thankfully it looks to be genuine. Various places are reporting this.

It appears that Kathryn will be appearing an the upcoming edition of FHM, possibly just the French edition. And from the look of the picture, appearing quite a lot

You can find an article (in French) about it at PurePeople.com, and a Google translation of it into English HERE. The full text and the translation can be found after the jump.

I very, very, very, very much look forward to seeing errr… more.

I don’t think there is much more I can add to that without making you think a lot less of me

Update: Slightly larger image above.

Update 2: Slightly larger again image added to the Gallery.

Update 3: New large version of cover added to the Gallery.

Update 4: I’ve very quickly edited most of the text off the cover image and added the result to the Gallery.

La comédienne américaine Kathryn Morris, 40 ans, célèbre pour son rôle de l’agent Lilly Rush dans la série à succès Cold Case, s’est livrée comme jamais en photos et en interview dans le nouveau numéro de FHM.

Lors d’une série de clichés sexy où la jolie blonde se dévoile totalement – notamment en couverture de laquelle elle ne porte qu’une petite culotte -, Kathryn Morris irradie cette nouvelle édition du mensuel masculin. Extraits.

“Cette série photos était vraiment fun ! Je me sentais suffisamment en confiance pour jouer à séduire… d’une façon que je pense sexy. C’est le fait d’être bien dans sa peau et épanouie qui fait que l’on se sent sexy. Depuis mes 40 ans, je me sens mieux, plus forte. Avec l’expérience, mais aussi le succès, j’ai appris à plus me lâcher et à ne plus m’inquiéter des petites choses.”

“Au départ, j’étais venue à Hollywood pour faire du cinéma (on a pu la voir en ex-femme de Tom Cruise dans Minority Report et dans un petit rôle dans A.I., deux films de Steven Spielberg, ndlr), et je ne pensais pas à la télé. Mais les producteurs étaient sûrs que j’étais l’actrice idéale pour incarner Lilly Rush et ils ont insisté.”

“Après sept saisons dans la peau de ce personnage, j’ai vraiment appris à l’aimer. Je commence même à la voir comme un être humain réel dont je suis l’évolution en témoin privilégié. Une série télé, c’est une expérience incroyable. C’est difficile, mais ça en vaut vraiment la peine.”

“Ce qui compte pour un homme aux Etats-Unis, c’est le travail et l’argent. Je suis venue plusieurs fois à Paris et j’ai l’impression que les Français apprécient plus la beauté, la poésie et les bonnes choses de la vie. Surtout, ils font plus attention aux femmes et savent les comprendre, en profondeur.”

“J’étais avec quelqu’un depuis neuf ans, ce qui est un record à Hollywood. Mais nos chemins prenaient des directions trop différentes. Nous nous sommes quittés sur l’air de “je t’aime assez pour te laisser partir”… J’ai toujours voulu être actrice. C’était et cela reste ma priorité, avant la romance ou le mariage.”

L’interview complète et les charmantes photos de Kathryn Morris dans le nouveau numéro de FHM, actuellement en kiosque. Malheureusement le magazine va s’arrêter fin décembre.

In a series of sexy shots where the pretty blonde is totally revealed – including the cover of which she is wearing only panties – Kathryn Morris radiates this new edition of the monthly men. Some extracts.

“This series was really fun photos, I felt confident enough to play to win … in a way that I feel sexy. It’s being good about yourself and who flourished because we feels sexy. Since my 40 years, I feel better, stronger. With experience, but also the success, I learned to let go more and no longer worry about small things.”

“Initially, I came to Hollywood to make films (we could see the ex-wife of Tom Cruise in Minority Report and in a small role in AI, two films by Steven Spielberg, editor’s note), and I thought not on TV. But the producers were sure that I was the perfect actress to embody Lilly Rush and they insisted.”

“After seven seasons in the skin of this character, I really learned to love it. I even began to see as a real human being that I am changing in a privileged witness. A TV series is a incredible experience. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.”

“What counts for a man in the United States is work and money. I came to Paris several times and I feel that the French appreciate more the beauty, poetry and good things of life. Above all, they pay more attention to women and know how to understand, in depth.”

“I was with someone for nine years, which is a record in Hollywood. But our paths took different directions too. We parted to the tune of” I love you enough to let you go”… I always wanted to be an actress. It was and remains my priority, before the romance or marriage.”
