Rachel reportedly beat out a long list of fellow A-list actresses who wanted to play the coveted role of a mother whose teenage daughter is abducted and feared dead, in the film adaptation of Alice Sebold's 2002 bestselling novel. Skinny actress, phat role!
The Oscar winner, seen here at a premiere in NYC on Monday, gave birth to a son last year, and has apparently lost all the baby weight -- and then some! Oh
Mummy!

Breaking News: We just got word an hour ago: Creative Artists Agency's Jenny Rawlings, agent to stars like Oscar-winnner Rachel Weisz and "Lord of the Rings" principal Viggo Mortensen, is defecting to rival talent agency, Endeavor. (Apparently, in the BlackBerry era, no one can really claim an exclusive: Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily has the story as well, though not more info than what we've been able to glean.)
Normally, such secretive recreancy is de rigeur for the talent agency business. After all, Endeavor made its name in the talent business some years ago, when it lured CAA's Patrick Whitesell to Endeavor from CAA, along with big name clients like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
But in Rawlings' case, the move is all the more breath-taking, because Rawlings isn't just a Rawlings, but a Gabler-Rawlings -- the progeny of CAA managing director Lee Gabler, one of the most powerful agents in the TV business.
The fact that Rawlings is joining Endeavor as an agent has some sources speculating that the senior Gabler might be retiring soon, leading to a reshuffling of the management decks at CAA and leaving the junior Rawlings seeking a firm that appreciated her a bit more for who she repped than who she was related to.
Neither CAA nor Endeavor would comment beyond confirming Rawlings' departure and imminent arrival.
Also unclear is who'll be accompanying Rawlings to Endeavor: While she worked with clients that included Renee Zellweger, Patricia Clarkson and Keisha Castle Hughes, neither agency could say which clients are going with her and which are staying put.

Critics at the Venice Film Festival were extremely harsh to the Darren Aronofsky film "The Fountain." The audience was apparently left perplexed by the film and even booed the film at a screening.
Rachel Weisz, who co-stars with Hugh Jackman of "X-Men" fame in the film, had this to say to say at a press conference. "I think it's wonderful that this film is so different, I would love to work with Darren again." We hope so, as the beautiful actress has more than a professional interest in the film. She is engaged to Aronofsky and recently gave birth to the couple's son Henry in May.
The film, which chronicles a man trying to find the fountain of youth in order to save his wife, has had its share of production woes. Originally, Brad Pitt was attached to the project. Once Brad left the film, the budget was slashed to $35 million and multiple film studios passed on the project, according to the Hollywood trades.
"The Fountain" will hit theaters November 22nd.

A pregnant Rache Weisz also shined
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
(Mar. 5) -- Keira Knightley proved to be fashion royalty at the Academy Awards. She wore a wine-colored, one-shoulder gown by Vera Wang that hit the right balance between youthful funkiness and movie-star glamour.
The 20-year-old wore her strawberry blond hair in a loose ponytail, and she had on a one-of-a-kind necklace with emeralds, rubies and diamonds from the 1960s she chose from the Bulgari archives.
Michelle Williams modeled herself after classic screen sirens, wearing a yellow chiffon gown with tulle pleats surrounding the V neck.
On her arm was Heath Ledger in a classic bow-tie tuxedo, down to the white pocketsquare.
The other Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe looked like a superstar couple she wore a gown with rows of silver beads and he was dressed in a three-piece suit with a black tie.
Felicity Huffman wore a supersexy black gown by Zac Posen with a plunging V neck, keyhole back, sheer panels on the side and pleated bodice and hem.
For Rachel Weisz, who is 7 months pregnant, comfort was important in picking her long, slinky black gown with cap sleeves which also showed off significant cleavage. "My friend Narciso Rodriguez made me three dresses and I chose one this morning," she said. Her Chopard emerald-cut diamond demi-drop earrings had round white diamond studs.
Carmen Marc Valvo custom-designed Queen Latifah's black strapless gown with tiers of soft, diagonal ruffles.
Jessica Alba, who was caught by the cameras touching up her Dior lipgloss, chose a tight gold Versace halter gown with floral beading that she said "fit like a glove," and Jane Seymour was in a champagne satin halter gown with jeweled accents on the bodice by Pamella Roland.
Sandra Bullock and Amy Adams both picked gowns with pockets. Bullock's navy gown was by Angel Sanchez and Adams' chocolate brown gown with ribbon applique was by Carolina Herrera. Adams even borrowed Herrera's own aquamarine dangling earrings.
Charlize Theron's forest-green, handpainted gown with a bow on one shoulder was designed by John Galliano for Christian Dior. She said the leather silk satin fabric was "insane" but some might have said that about the too-big bow.
Jennifer Lopez was in a lighter green gown with a fitted bodice that laced up in the back like a corset.
Ziyi Zhang picked a Giorgio Armani gown fresh off the runway: a black scalloped seashell-shaped lace bustier with jet beading worn with a gray Swarovski crystal encrusted full crinoline skirt. Hilary Swank was in a sweetheart-style black strapless gown by Versace.
Jennifer Aniston was in a black tank gown by Rochas with a long train and a vintage platinum-and-diamond Bulgari necklace from the 1930s. Makeup artist Angela Levin, calling Aniston "a sun-kissed angel," emphasized her eyelashes with a not-yet-available Chanel mascara.
Nicole Kidman was in a cream-colored strapless gown with beautiful delicate embroidery, and Naomi Watts wore a nude-colored, one-shoulder gown with frayed fabric on the top by Givenchy. As the model in jeweler David Yurman's new ads, Watts' rose quartz-and-diamond earrings and a rose quartz ring were made especially for her.
Jennifer Garner wore a halter-style, hand-embroidered Michael Kors gown in nude-colored tulle featuring Swarovski crystals and sterling silver flowers.
Jada Pinkett Smith was in a bright blue strapless column gown by Roberto Cavalli. "I just wanted to be a little vibrant and a little sexy on the carpet," she said. Husband Will Smith chimed in, "That's my wife in the dress. It becomes difficult to notice the dress itself."
Salma Hayek had on a slate blue gown, and her hair was long and loose.
One of the biggest misses of the night was Helena Bonham Carter. Her off-the-shoulder, tea-length blue satin gown was fine but her bed-head hair and clunky white shoes were not.
Oscar.com fashion analyst Tom Julian was a fan of Meryl Streep's plum V-neck gown with long sleeves that she wore with dangling earrings. Julian also noted that the shape of the Oscar gowns shifted to full skirts from the more formfitting styles at the award shows earlier in the season.
As for the men, George Clooney was trying to be sarcastic when he told E!'s Isaac Mizrahi "I'm very stylish," but he indeed was in his Armani two-button peak lapel tuxedo.
And the directors of "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," Nick Park and Steve Box, wore oversized striped bow ties, which somehow seemed a perfect fit.
The Oscars were presented at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles.

Reese Witherspoon as singer June Carter in "Walk the Line" and Philip Seymour Hoffman as author Truman Capote in "Capote" won lead-acting awards Sunday from the Screen Actors Guild, while the ensemble drama "Crash" pulled off an upset win over Brokeback Mountain" for the overall cast award.
Rachel Weisz of the murder thriller "The Constant Gardener" and Paul Giamatti of the boxing drama "Cinderella Man" received supporting-acting honors.
"Oh, my God, y'all. Sometimes, I can't just shake the feeling that I'm just a little girl from Tennessee," said Witherspoon, who plays Carter during her long, stormy courtship with country legend Johnny Cash. "I want to say my biggest inspiration for this movie obviously was June Carter. She was an incredible woman."
Hoffman had gushing thanks for his "Capote" co-stars.
"It's important to say that actors can't act alone, it's impossible. What we have to do is support each other," Hoffman said. "Actors have to have each others' backs. It's the only way to act well is when you know the other actor has your back, and these actors had my back, and I hope they know I had theirs."

By the looks of her disappearing frame, Rachel Weisz is really getting into character for her role in the Peter Jackson directed film, "The Lovely Bones." And no, it's not the Nicole Richie Story!
