While she claims to be taller in interviews, Isla Fisher is believed to measure just 5ft 2 (157.5 cm), making her shorter than the average American woman.
Isla Fisher’s shoe size is 8 in the US, 6 in the UK, and 38 in the European. “I’m 5ft 3ins and about 6st 10Ib (94lbs), although I don’t weigh myself – I don’t own scales,” she told The Mirror in 1998.

Height Challenges While Filming ‘Wedding Crashers’
In a 2005 interview with Edinburgh Evening News, she talked about filming the American comedy film Wedding Crashers with Vince Vaughn, who measures 6ft 5 (195.6 cm).
It was difficult to get a rapport in the beginning with Vince though, because my eyes met his belly button, he’s so tall.

You couldn’t make something like Sm:tv Live these days. For starters, Saturday morning kids’ TV is barely a thing any more, cancelled entirely on the soon-to-be-nixed Citv channel, while over on the BBC, it’s relegated to the decidedly more wholesome Saturday Mash-Up Live on Cbbc.
Perhaps this is because – deep down – everyone knows nothing will ever beat Ant & Dec and Cat Deeley’s iconic weekly three hours of Saturday morning mayhem that was Sm:tv Live.
Dec described Sm:tv Live’s goal from the outset when it launched in 1998 was to counteract the “cosier… nice auntie or uncle” vibe of Live & Kicking, the BBC’s Saturday morning show, by being more like their viewers’ “mischievous older brothers and sisters”.
This required them taking some pretty massive risks, like not being quite so nice to the children watching, and pushing the humour to far more grown-up places. It’s highly...

Darren Day won't face the next 'Celebrity Big Brother' eviction. The 47-year-old actor has become the latest housemate to win immunity from the live eviction on Tuesday night (26.01.16) after he successfully downed a tummy-churning cocktail made of beetroot, garlic and fermented fish and managed to identify each individual ingredient with ease. The handsome star is the final housemate to avoid the eviction after axed 'Hollyoaks' actress Stephanie Davis won immunity when she was crowned champion of the buzz round.

From the dialogue to the acting to the action and, well, just everything, this mind-bogglingly amateurish mess from Owen Carey Jones sometimes seems like one big conceptual joke
The Leeds-based director Owen Carey Jones may be Britain’s answer to Ed Wood. Following 2009’s Wiccan-witches debacle The Spell, this cosmically overreaching shambles – so ineptly edited that its title appears a conceptual joke – is Carey Jones’s idea of a globetrotting caper, tracking knock-off jewels first to a shoddily green-screened New York, then Cannes, where France’s flattest performers mouth ripe dialogue (“Gilles, eet eez a diamond mine, not a chocolate factory!”) and literally walk into the furniture. Thereafter, it’s back to Otley for some wholly woebegone action. The prevailing amateurism is such that when Darren Day shows up for a half-day’s work as a perma-angry copper, it is as though Gielgud himself had entered the frame.

Sizzling sexual chemistry or far too much flatulence? It was almost impossible to keep up with Darren Day and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's love/hate relationship in the 2002 series.
