Head on over to YouTube to view the New York, I Love You trailer. Scarlett has, of course, written and directed one of its 12 segments and you can see a couple of frames of Kevin Bacon here, the star of her segment. I think the trailer looks really cool and I cannot wait to see Scarlett’s directorial debut!

MTV revealed today that Scarlett will present at the the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, which will air live on September 7, 2008 at 9 p.m ET.

Speaking of public events, Scarlett will not attend the September 19 Vicky Cristina Barcelona premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival, unlike previously mentioned. She will not be promoting the movie in Europe. I believe she is still expected to appear on the Stand Up To Cancer telethon on September 5. And then New York, I Love You will premiere in Toronto on September 6. I am not sure if she will attend the premiere.

Here at handbag.com we are working on a campaign with Cancer Research UK called handbag amnesty. The aim of this project is help raise money to fight breast cancer. In order to do this we are asking a number of celebrities to donate a handbag that we can auction off.

All bags donated to the Handbag Amnesty will be auctioned on eBay from Friday 3rd – Sunday 12th of October to tie in with Breast Cancer Awareness month. Open to everyone, all proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK, the largest single funder of research into breast cancer, one of the most common cancers in the UK.
