Tilda Hates Children

Oh dear. Tilda Swinton, that actress we adore, has now got one notch against her. Well, let's say a half a notch, because her argument is sound. She recently said in an interview that she does not like the Harry Potter movies and would never appear in one because she's "loath to say anything good about going to boarding school." Hmm. We (or at least I) love Harry Potter, but similarly are not sure how we feel about boarding school. Plus she's probably got some long intellectual theory (or painful childhood experience) all about it, so yes, just a half point from Swinton house. [Showbiz Spy]

Tilda Swinton Has Weirded Her Way Into Our Hearts

When asked about her night of partying after her Oscar win, specifically at Prince's house party, British English-born, Scottish-living actress Tilda Swinton said "Steve Wonder sang 'Superstition,' for God's sake. It was absolutely fantastic." There's a certain tone there, one of a "well, duh!" familiarity that makes us think we might want to be friends with her. She's funny, smart, a bit bizarre, and she's amorously adventurous. It's fun to think that she can be like this, out-there but also grounded, especially after her scary, brilliant turn in Michael Clayton. More »

Crazy Indie Actress in Crazy Indie Relationship

Tilda Swinton is a kinky androgynous weirdo! The Academy Award nominated actress (for Michael Clayton) who starred in the gender-bender Orlando is reportedly in a very open relationship with her husband, playwright John Byrne. Byrne, 67, who is the father of Tilda's twins, has to compete with 29-year-old actor Sandro Kopp for Swinton's affections. The 47-year-old British lass brings Kopp to movie premieres and the like, then takes him back to Byrne's house where they all visit and do very artsy things that I will never understand.
