THE CLOTHES (HELP) MAKE THE MAN udiences get their first look at A Quebecois superstar Roy Dupuis as Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire this month, as the dramatization of Dallaire’s book Shake Hands With the Devil hits theatres. And whether or not moviegoers feel Dupuis managed to capture the essence of the Canadian who presided over UN forces during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, there’s no denying that his uniform is spot on. That’s because it is Dallaire’s uniform, the one he wore throughout the crisis that saw hundreds of thousands of Tutsis and Hutu moderates killed at the hands of Hutu extremists. While Dallaire famously battled red tape and bureaucracy as scores died, he is credited with saving tens of thousands more. Joyce Schure, the film’s costume designer, says Dallaire donated not only his summer dress uniform, but also insignia, medals and belts to the shoot because he wanted the movie to be as accurate as possible. “But not his famous blue beret,” notes Schure, “that had been lost along the way.” Schure had to find the rest of the film’s uniforms at army surplus stores — some as far away as Paris, France — because the UN’s uniforms have changed since the events of the movie. “Just knowing what [the Lt. Gen.] had gone through and that those items had had a place in time during that tragedy…” begins Schure. “You know, they say personal items that belonged to man down in the hopes the deed would make people carry an energy or a history, so it Artifact him a legend.

GUIDE TO “Before I won it, I used to go up to the office and go, ‘I want to do those scripts back there — the good ones.’ They’d go, ‘You can’t have those scripts.’ I said, ‘Why? I think that I can do a great job.’ THE BIG SCREEN Now they’ll offer me those roles, or I can ask to be a part of it.” One of the projects Foxx asked to be a part of was The Kingdom, a thriller about a terrorist bombing at an American facility in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that bears striking similarities to the real 2003 bombing that took place in Riyadh. The film was produced by Foxx’s director from Collateral and Miami Vice, Michael Mann, and helmed by actor/director Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights). “As an actor, you always have to be aware of the type of movie you make, but you can’t be afraid to do a movie that some people might consider risky,” says Foxx. “If you find a script that really excites you, the only thing that you have to do is to get into character and let it be what it is. And if it’s unforgiving, let that be what it is too. Whatever it is, ride with that, because when you look back on your body of work, that’s what you’re going to enjoy, the fact that you can go into a character and disappear in a great story.” Foxx plays FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury, who’s ordered to assemble a team of the bureau’s elite agents — Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman) and Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper) — to hunt down the terrorist cell that bombed the compound. But the team’s job turns out to be harder than they’d hoped. The local Saudi authorities are suspicious of Westerners and less than helpful, the heat is almost unbearable, and they’re crippled by political protocol, which appears to be dangerously corrupt. They also doubt the trustworthiness of their Saudi counterparts, informants, and before they know it — each other. But after finding an ally (Ashraf Barhom) in the Saudi Police, the tide begins to turn, and they find themselves getting closer “You always have to be to finding that cell.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON “Men should start wearing three-piece suits, fedoras, pocket watches…. What happened to glamour?”

PAMELA ANDERSON “It’s all such a game when you have stylists dressing celebrities. They’re not going into their closets and putting something on, which is what I do. Which is why I can’t keep up with the fashion Joneses.”

MANDY MOORE “I discovered clothes at 11. I remember going to Gap Kids and thinking, ‘Wow, you can match things and mismatch them!’ I finally got it. This is 10TALK ABOUT what being female is kind of about.” KEIRA KNIGHTLEY “I’m not one of FASHION those people who says, ‘Oh no, I can’t BY SUSAN GRANGER wear that because I wore it yesterday.’ If STARS It doesn’t smell, it’s fine.”

CINDY CRAWFORD “If you have kids, you can’t wear low pants because you’re bending over all the time and your entire rear end is hanging out…. I call it the nanny crack.”
