No longer ‘Miss Innocent’

“Am I asexual? I don’t present myself to the world like: everyone has to see my bits. But I wouldn’t call myself prudish by any means.”

Amy Adams is most famous for playing wide-eyed innocents whose sunny outlook enriches the lives of those around her. Just think of toothy Brenda in Catch Me If You Can, heavily pregnant Ashley in Junebug and, of course, Giselle the misplaced princess in 2007′s modern twist on a Disney fairytale, Enchanted. In fact, when Adams announced in December that she was pregnant by fiancé Darren Le Gallo, commentators expressed surprise that someone so “wholesome and pure” had ever actually had sex.

Hearing this, Adams looks taken aback for a second. “I’m not sure how I feel about that,” she laughs awkwardly, looking perplexed as she leans back in her chair in the luxury of the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles. “Am I asexual? I don’t present myself to the world like: everyone has to see my bits. But I wouldn’t call myself prudish by any means.”

The thing is, in this age of Megan Fox-style sexuality-as-a-weapon, Adams’s attitude is actually quite rare, and that’s what makes her attractive to men and relatable to women. “There are a lot of women out there like me,” she nods. “I think it’s something that’s more fun to discover than to put out there.”

Another shameless plug

As I’m sure you’re all aware, Amy news is (understandably) very slow right now. Rest assured that I do check at least twice a day for any new developments and will post them right away if I find anything. In the meantime, I’ve been working on a small little tribute site to a fresh young actress named Brittany Robertson. She’s been acting for several years but has only just really hit my radar with her performance in the new CW show Life Unexpected. If you’re a fan of hers, or of the show, be sure to visit Brittany Online.

Possible Enchanted Sequel

There are rumors going around that there might be a possible sequel to one of Amy’s hit film, Enchanted. Please keep in mind that this is just a rumor, any confirmations and we will let you know!

Disney is hoping to charm auds again with a sequel to “Enchanted,” hiring Jessie Nelson to pen a script for the live-action fairy tale that “The Proposal” helmer Anne Fletcher is attached to direct.

Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld will return as producers.

Mouse House is keen on getting another installment of “Enchanted” on the bigscreen — perhaps as early as next year — after the 2007 pic, which starred Amy Adams, James Marsden, Patrick Dempsey and Susan Sarandon, earned more than $340 million worldwide. It earned $123 million domestically and helped Adams break out. Bill Kelly (“Blast From the Past”) penned the original.

First film had languished in development for years as filmmakers like Sonnenfeld struggled with a way to tackle its comedic tone, musical numbers and blend of animation and live-action sequences.

“Enchanted 2″ fits perfectly with the studio’s plans to make more movies that define the Disney brand. Project is Disney’s riff on its classic fairy-tale features, revolving around Giselle, a princess who is banished from her animated world by an evil queen and thrown onto the live-action streets of Manhattan to fend for herself.

Studio will likely try to bring back the first film’s stars.
