Jessica Biel has said that she would have loved to star in The Notebook.

The actress revealed that she auditioned several times to play The Notebook‘s lead character Allie Hamilton, a wealthy young woman who falls for a boy (Ryan Gosling) from the wrong side of the tracks.

Biel recalled that getting passed over by The Notebook by director Nick Cassavetes was especially tough because she truly loved the story of star-crossed lovers.

She told Elle: “The Notebook – that’s one that I wanted so badly. I was in the middle of shooting Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I auditioned with Ryan Gosling in my trailer – covered in blood. Nick Cassavetes put me through the wringer in an interesting, excitingly creative way. But there’s a million that get away.”

Rachel McAdams went on to land the starring role in The Notebook, earning critical acclaim and award nominations for her performance.

Biel also explained that she’s hoping to explore other interests besides acting as she gets older.

“I’d love to write. I wrote a lot of short stories and poetry when I was a kid,” the star said. “That was my creative outlet. I’ve written a short film, and I [still] write poetry.”

Biel next stars opposite Josh Duhamel and Ashton Kutcher in New Year’s Eve, which opens on December 9 in the US and the UK.

What the hell is this? Did someone drop a stack of flyers over Southern California promising gifting suites? Is this movie just a bunch of celebs crawling out of their homes like zombies mumbling “paaaaycheck, paaaaycheck.” Because that’s what it sounds like.

Actors Jessica Biel and Gerard Butler treated the cast and crew of their new film “Playing the Field” with cupcakes.

Both the stars, who are shooting for the new film in Shreveport, Louisiana, ordered over 100 cupcakes last week for all the people working on the film.

“It’s a wide variety of cupcakes she (Biel) and Gerard ordered for a Friday treat… (Biel) is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people,” people quoted a source as saying.

The film, directed by Gabriele Muccino, also stars Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dennis Quaid.

I have had a bit of a swap around with the Current Projects.  Two new projects have been added and Jessica also has a long list of  ‘In development’ projects on IMDB, so these have also been listed.  Check out her IMDB, for more information on projects old and new.

Here is a bit of synopsis of some of her latest projects she is working on….

Nailed
An original political satire about a naive small town waitress who accidentally gets a nail buried in her head, causing erratic and outrageous behavior that leads her to Washington DC. There she falls for a dashing, but clueless, Congressman who searches for the courage to save her.

Jessica stars alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and James Marsden.
