Michelle Pfeiffer: We hadn't seen Michelle Pfeiffer on the screen since her impressive, underrated turn as a blonde, poisoning sociopath in 2002's "White Oleander" and we really missed her those five years. Everyone, including fame-oriented actors, needs a break. So, it's understandable Ms. Pfeiffer gave herself a little quality time during the early 2000s, but some of us worried the gorgeous star was going to just flat-out retire. And that seemed unfathomable. Retire? With all that talent? And all that ravishing beauty? Thankfully, the fine-boned, lush-lipped actress came to her senses by making a rather quirky choice for her grand entrance -- as the hilariously evil Velma von Tussle in the musical "Hairspray" adapted from John Waters' original. Pfeiffer was terrific, audiences loved it and the actress was allowed to sing again, something we hadn't witnessed since her wonderful performance in "The Fabulous Baker Boys." Suddenly, we were experiencing a case of Pfeiffer fever as the actress appeared in the fantasy picture "Stardust" and, to anoint her as one of her ultimate movie goddesses, received her well-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The big screen needs Michelle Pfeiffer ... more often. (New Line Cinema)
