Keira Knightley

Knightley is atoning for her recent lack of profile by signing on for her West End debut this December. She'll play an American film star (not the biggest of stretches, granted) who becomes the object of affection for a disillusioned playwright in The Misanthrope.

Isla Fisher

The pint-sized Aussie is doubling her fun (and workload), signing on to star in two big screen projects. The first, Life Coach, centers around a woman who ends up counseling the titular professional, while the second, an as yet untitled romantic comedy based on a French script, is being kept under wraps. We're gonna go out on a limb and say it involves a cute meeting, witty repartee and ladies singing into their hairbrushes.
