What is it with Hollywood, that everyone who shows up seems to get infected with Charlie-Sheen-Stupid-Ass-Itis? The latest victim is French actress Marion Cotillard, who just won an Oscar for a movie no one besides Hollywood has ever seen (and oh, a couple of smelly French people in France). Brit paper The Daily Mail recently dug up a year-old interview with Cotillard on French TV, where she waxes philosophical on the EEEEEEEVIL American Government, “singling out the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center as an example of the US making up horror stories for political ends.” But wait, it gets better! Keep reading, dear readers.

If the name Marion Cotillard doesn’t sound immediately familiar, don’t worry, it will soon enough. Besides being an Oscar-nominated actress hailing from France, Marion Cotillard is set to take Hollywood by storm, with major roles in big-time Hollywood movies like Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies”, which will star Johnny Depp and Christian Bale! You can’t get any bigger than that, folks. The only thing Marion Cotillard has to worry about is becoming another Penelope Cruz, or that girl in “The Beach” with Leonardo DiCaprio, etc. You know, a promising actress who quickly burns out. If all goes well, we’ll be seeing more of Marion Cotillard, such as this appearance in Studio magazine. Ooh lala indeed.

Ooooh lala, our Random Foreign Babe of the Day is French actress Marion Cotillard, who has been in some high-profile films, including Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s “A Very Long Engagement” and Ridley Scott’s recent “A Good Year” across from Russell Crowe. She’s famous as all heck in France and Europe, but most people wouldn’t recognize her on the streets in the States. Okay, that’s not true. Pretty much EVERYONE wouldn’t recognize her on the streets in the States. Which is too bad for them, because Marion Cotillard is deserving of being noticed. She is, as the kids would say, frakkin’ hot.
