Yes, it’s true! Julia Stiles has her own blog! I just found out!

Stiles’ agent, Toni Howard, just confirmed for me that the blog; YOU KNOW MY STEEZ, is in fact the actress’s own. So far, the star of “Save the Last Dance” and “The Bourne Ultimatum” has written three posts, one a link to a short film she directed and two about the city schools, which she attended until middle school.

On the blog she is particularly taking a stand for charter schools, and she states her case well. She is also blogging about Oleanna. The blog is fairly new. If you only know Julia from her movies, then her blog will positively surprise you. She is an intellectual concerned young woman. And educated. Some of us already knew this, but it’s amazing to be able to visit the actress’ own blog and find out what is on her mind.

YOU KNOW MY STEEZ

There’s actually a fair amount of news today, but I want to make sure that this doesn’t slip through the cracks: New York Magazine reported yesterday on a new friendship between Joel Klein, the chancellor, and the actress Julia Stiles.

Apparently Stiles met Klein by interrupting him at a recent party where he was reacting to an Obama speech. Stiles stopped him in order to describe her own issues with the city’s public schools. Then she got embarrassed for getting so excited about the education issue:

Afterward, Stiles, mortified (“I have a lot to say and I was wildly inarticulate”), apologized and awkwardly asked for Klein’s e-mail. He took hers instead, saying “I’ll be in touch.” “I’d seen a couple of her movies, but I couldn’t remember her name,” Klein admitted, but he e-mailed her to follow up. “We’re now e-mail pals. She likes what we’re doing on charters.”
