ELIZABETH BERKLEY ADVISES TEENS NOT TO BECOME SHOWGIRLS

You’d never guess by looking at her that Saved by the Bell actress Elizabeth Berkley was married to an acclaimed fashion designer. Her husband Greg Lauren was an artist who started his own line of deconstructed androgynous expensive one-of-a-kind sportswear sold at Barneys. It didn’t hurt that he’s the nephew of Ralph Lauren. Elizabeth’s style is more down to earth, especially now that she’s a mom to almost five year old Sky, who looks a lot like her. She’s come a long way since Showgirls– nowadays besides acting, Elizabeth has an advice website and writes self help books for teenage girls.

“BLACK SWAN” AND “SHOWGIRLS” HAVE MORE THAN A LITTLE IN COMMON

For those of you who forked over your hard earned money to see “Black Swan” this weekend – and certainly, it WAS a better choice than “The Tourist” – here is a revealing and amusing mashup of the Black Swan trailer and that old favorite “Showgirls.” (It combines the audio of the Swan trailer and visuals from Showgirls.) One might assume “Black Swan” director Darren Arononfsky was a fan of Elizabeth Berkley’s 1995 potbboiler.

Elizabeth Berkley has come a long way since her nude and rude 1995 box office bomb-turned-cult-film “Showgirls” – which happens to be playing on cable around the clock. She suffered horrible criticism after that movie but gradually repaired her career by appearing in independent films and Broadway. She’s been happily married to Greg Lauren (Ralph Lauren’s nephew) for seven years and has a website “Ask Elizabeth” aimed at empowering and advising teenage girls so they won’t make the same mistakes she did. (Above she’s leaving a lunch meeting with her website materials.)
