JULIETTE LEWIS: WORST DRESSED ONSTAGE?

Like Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis seems to vastly prefer being a rock star over being a movie star. Both act mainly to pay the bills. Juliette’s singing is WAY better than her onstage fashion however. She usually wear some kind of tacky spandex outfit – not sexy, but oddly unfashionable and unflattering. Lately she’s been singing with a heavy metal band as well as The Licks. We wonder if all the band members are Scientologists like she is. Above, she performed this week at The Linq in Las Vegas.

JULIETTE LEWIS DOESN’T WANT YOU TO SEE HER FACE

Juliette Lewis likes to walk her dog Teddy while wearing as little as possible. She was soaking up the California sun when she became aware of a paparazzi and pulled her t- shirt over her face, making the pic even more interesting. It’s apparent that touring with her rock band agrees with her – she’s 42 and still has a teenage body. It was just announced at the Berlin Film Festival that Juliette will star in a British heist comedy called “Croak” written and directed by David Thewliss.

JULIETTE LEWIS BLAMES IT ON THE DRUG PUSHERS

Juliette Lewis has been on the road singing with her band for what seems like years, but now she has a new movie out “Kelly & Cal.” She’s doing a lot of interviews and The Daily Beast asked her what the biggest misconceptions about Scientology are and her answer was fascinating. She declared “The mainstream media is funded by pharmaceutical companies.” She was referring to Tom Cruise’s stance against anti-depressants and Ritalin. She went on to say that after Tom talked about that, “the press brutalized him” with Scientology criticism and continues to do so. Really. She didn’t try to explain why tabloids and gossip magazines continue to torment Tom. (Above, Juliette in a scene from “Kelly & Cal”- she plays a punk rocker turned housewife.)

SEE “CONVICTION” BEFORE YOU HEAR ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT

If you have even an inkling that you might want to see “Conviction” with Hilary Swank, Sam Rockwell, and Juliette Lewis, do NOT watch any TV shows discussing the movie or read reviews. The LESS you know about it, the better. There are certain plot surprises and subtleties that have been revealed as the movie is publicized, and it’s a shame! All you need to know is that the story is true and fascinating and the actors are well chosen. We were lucky to see the movie before we knew anything about it and it was captivating and surprising.

JULIETTTE LEWIS IS NOW A SOLO ARTIST

Juliette Lewis is smart – she knows how to travel and increase the odds of her luggage arriving intact. She carries mismatched, beat-up bags – no designer labels here. The expensive looking luggage is the first to disappear or be ransacked. Juliette, who wants to be a rockstar more than anything, just released a solo album WITHOUT her band The Licks, called Terra Incognita, and she’s busy promoting it.
