Confessions Of A Shopaholic Movie

Isla Fisher, who stars in "Confessions of a Shopaholic," has a secret of her own: It was all method acting. "I'm not anti-shopping, but I shop rarely and poorly," says the actress, who's been handed the Herculean task of making a hero out of a woman who can't say "no" to a splurge while in real life the economy is imploding. In the film, which opens Friday, Fisher plays a financial journalist named Rebecca Bloomwood who will stop at nothing to satisfy her retail addiction.
