Claire Danes Covers ‘Angeleno’ Magazine December 2009

Claire Danes Covers ‘Angeleno’ Magazine December 2009

Claire Danes looks super chic on the the December 2009 issue of Angeleno magazine wearing a crepe “Brooke” dress by Zac Posen and “Claudia” peep-toe heels by Christian Louboutin.

Here’s what the 30-year-old actress had to share:

On learning to cook: "I like making house. A lot. I'm cooking more. I used to say I want to want to cook. But now I actually want to cook, which is a big step forward. I'm pretty nerdy and terrified of straying from the recipe. My friends often make fun of me for that."

On where she finds inspiration for her cooking: "Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and all my special friends on the Food Network. I love watching it at the gym. It's a big fat carrot when you're on the treadmill."

On celebrity gossip: "I totally read gossip magazines if I'm at the gym or having my
nails done. I don't like them. I'm not for them because I don't like being chased by paparazzi. But they satisfy a kind of id, like a grubby, nosy part of ourselves. But I'm wary of it because it's laced with meanness. Especially with the anonymity of the Internet, it's a reflection of our less appealing selves that wouldn't be so apparent if we were all in the same room together."

    7 Things You Don’t Know About Ian Somerhalder

    Vampire Diaries and Lost hunk Ian Somerhalder talks “7 Things” with Newsweek.

    The 30-year-old actor shared, “I auditioned for [Jason Stackhouse on] True Blood and couldn’t rock it to convince [creator] Alan Ball that that was my role. I didn’t get it and I was very bummed. I couldn’t watch True Blood until now because now I have my own role. But before that, I was convinced I couldn’t play a vampire because I blew the audition.”

    Natalie Portman Didn’t Use Pot ‘Till Her 20’s

    Natalie Portman pretties up the January 2010 issue of Marie Claire, on stands now. Here’s what the 28-year-old actress opened up about:

    On being a late bloomer while attending Harvard University: “OK, so I didn’t really go to high school parties and yeah, I didn’t touch pot till I was in my 20s. I didn’t get flat-out drunk until I went to college. But I think that’s a good thing in many ways.”

    On her rumored romance with Sean Penn: “He’s obviously someone I’m friends with I mean, not ‘hey, wassup?’ friends, but we were all on the [Cannes 2008] jury together—Alfonso [Cuarón] and Marjane [Satrapi]—and we had a really great time, and then…It was one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, my God! I’m that person who’s caught in this shitty rumor brigade.’ You can’t win. You don’t say anything and everyone’s like, ‘It’s true.’ You say something, and you’re keeping the story alive. It’s bad, bad news.”

    Padma Lakshmi: Page Six Sexy

    Padma Lakshmi: Page Six Sexy

    The beautiful Padma Lakshmi gets personal on the cover of Page Six magazine, available Thursday (December 3) inside the New York Post.

    The 39-year-old Top Chef hostess, who’s expecting a baby next year but hasn’t revealed the father yet, opened up about being recognized, going easier on her body during her pregnancy and refusing only to eat low-cal foods.

    On being recognized: "I went to a bar mitzvah on the Upper East Side last year, and not to toot my own horn, but I might as well have been Michael Jackson to these 13-year-old boys and girls. There were something like 30 children around me, and they were all practically hyperventilating. I had this swarm of little kids going, 'Oh, my god! Oh, my god!' Kids are so authentic, so pure, and they'd be telling me, 'My sister and I had an amuse-bouche contest, and we need you to tell us who should have won.' I think that's really cool."

    On going easier on her body during pregnancy: "One of the reasons I think I've gained weight pretty quickly during my pregnancy is that I'm not exercising as much as I do normally…I can't. I'm feeling tired, and I have this business to run. You hope that with age, what you pay for in gravity, you gain in gravitas. I'm sure my thighs looked better when I was 25, but I think my mind is better today."

    On balancing diet and exercise: "You can eat and work out, or you can be the person who only eats a cucumber every day. I'd get really irritable if all I ate was a cucumber, so I have to work hard."

    Anna Kendrick: George Clooney Knew To Stay Away!

    Anna Kendrick hits the red carpet in a classy white Jenny Packham confection at the premiere of Paramount Pictures’ new movie, Up In The Air, held at Mann Village Theatre on Monday (November 30) in Westwood, Calif.

    The 24-year-old actress has been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for her role in UITA and exclusively had this to share with JustJared.com literally up in the air during a flight from NY to LA:

    JJ: What was it like working with George Clooney? Did he pull any pranks on set?

    AK: No - I think George understood that I was 23 and from Maine and never been involved in something this big and he went really easy on me. I think, you know, when you’re Matt Damon and Brad Pitt, you can handle being pranked. I think he knew I would’ve broken down crying and embarrassed myself!

    JJ: What was your favorite prop from the set?

    AK: Good question! I liked my computer. I got to be very mean to my computer - it was very serious typing. (During one scene, she bangs on the keyboard with her fingers.)

    JJ: If you had a romantic storyline in another movie, who would you cast?

    AK: Oh my goodness! Well, I’ve had a crush on Julian Casablancas from The Strokes since I was fifteen and they do that all the time, put musicians in movies, so I would cast him.

    JJ: You started on Broadway in High Society - would you ever return to the stage, and what are your favorite musicals?

    AK: My favorite Broadway musical is a show called Parade, which is really dark and there’s not even really a role for me in it, but I love, love, love that show! And I haven’t done it in so long - it’s sort of daunting - but every time I see a show, I want to be back on stage!
    ——————-
    Up In The Air, which has garnered an impressive 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, opens in NY/LA this Friday (December 4) and everywhere on Christmas Day!

    FYI: Anna accessorized with Neil Lane jewels, a Swarovski clutch and Christian Louboutin shoes.

    Tiger Woods Releases Apology Letter

    Tiger Woods Releases Apology Letter

    Tiger Woods just issued a statement on his official website. Check out the full apology letter from the 33-year-old professional golfer:

    “I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

    “Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. [My wife] Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

    “But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.

    “Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.

    “I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.”

    On having it all: "It is the eternal conflict of every working woman. …The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people; I want to be a great mother, and I want to feel good when I'm at work. But it is hard."

    On being a new mom to twins Marion and Tabitha: "It's been amazing but complicated because of my current work schedule, which I have enormous regrets about."

    On raising her children: "I don't want my children to feel they have a sense of entitlement. I want them to work hard and be challenged."

    On long-term relationships: "When you are younger, you get swept away by grand gestures. … When you have children and years invested, it's much more complicated. It's the day-to-day stuff; the kind of parent you are, the kind of partner you are. It's the little and big things as opposed to just the big things."

    Kate Hudson Covers Harper’s Bazaar January 2010

    Kate Hudson is white hot on the January 2010 cover of Harper’s Bazaar, on stands stands December 15. Here’s what the 30-year-old actress opened up about:

    On pregnancy, engagement and break up rumors: “I’m not pregnant. I can’t go two months without being pregnant, engaged, or breaking up because I’m too needy, which is always the one they love. I’m not needy. You kind of have to laugh it off, but it can kind of screw up other things around it.”

    On why she doesn’t talk about her relationships : “I have a child, and there are people involved, and it’s unfair to talk about somebody else, especially when you’re not in that place yet to be discussing those things. If I was sitting here with a belly out to here, I’d be talking about what the relationship is and how important that is in my life right now.”

    On not feeling pressure from family or friends to avoid Alex Rodriguez because of his past mistakes: ” I don’t really have friends like that,” Kate says. “My mother never shook anybody’s hand. She has kissed and hugged her way through life. [My family had] an open-door policy. We were never afraid to bring the wrong person home. They were always open to our failures.”

    On the photo of her and A-Rod kissing: “There’s a guy that’s shooting probably 60 frames a minute. That was a sideswipe on the cheek. That wasn’t even a kiss. I quickly kissed the cheek. And I remember one of the headlines the next day said, MAKEOUT SESSION. What is wrong with people?”

    On ex Chris Robinson: “Chris is a great dad. I feel really lucky. When we first met, it was so immediate. I had no question in my mind I was supposed to marry him and have children with him.

    “That, to me, is the tough thing to get right,” Ryan continued. “And that’s something that [Iron Man] did get right.

    “You see why this guy’s in the suit, and that’s what’s interesting to me. Not that he is in the suit, but why.”

    Rihanna: Photo Leaks Were ‘Humiliating’ and ‘Embarrassing’

    Rihanna visits Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on KIIS FM in Hollywood on Tuesday (December 1) and takes a photo with a lucky fan.

    Earlier, the 21-year-old Barbados beauty spoke about her nude photos being leaked earlier this year to NYC radio station Hot 97 and called it “humiliating.” Here’s what RiRi revealed:

    On the nude photos leaked earlier this year: “They were for my boyfriend at the time….if you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him.”

    On feeling like she’d lost her privacy: “It was the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to me. I just felt like my whole privacy was taken before that [with the other photo leak] and then, when that came out, I thought, ‘Oh great, so now there’s nothing they don’t know about me and my private life.’”

    On support from her mom: “I was nervous [but] when the world is against me she’s always there supporting.”

    On what she’s learned from her relationship with Chris Brown: “My whole relationship with him was a learning experience. There was a lot of insecurity and a lot of control issues. In relationships in the future I know how to watch out for certain things. A lot of those were signs. I learned that in the end.”

    Mila Kunis Covers BlackBook Magazine December 2009

    Mila Kunis models a sexy pair of gold studded cuffs in BlackBook's Dec 2009/Jan 2010 "New Regime" Issue (as styled by Anda & Masha). Check out some interview excerpts from the 26-year-old actress:

    On ballet training for Black Swan, her new Darren Aronofsky-directed ballet drama starring Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder: "I just skipped about 10 years of ballerina training and started as if I'm a professional. (laughs) Every day, I tore the ligaments in my calves and I would think, What am I doing to myself?"

    On being secretive for Black Swan: "I just feel like such a douche because I can't talk about it. It's not even that big of a deal. It's a f—ing movie. It's not like I'm saving the world."

    On her rumored sex scene with Natalie Portman in Black Swan: "It's two girls making out, and guys have a thing for that. And Nat is like every guy's dream. She's a nerd's idea of heaven. The whole thing is silly, but I can see why people care."

    On being an actress: "I didn't come to L.A. to become a famous actress. I lived in L.A. and I was an actress, and it was just like, Who am I? I loved what I did, but I didn't like the judgment that came with it. It took me until I was 21 to realize that this is what I was going to do. I finally decided I'm not going to be embarrassed to write 'actress' on my medical forms."

    On the prospect of marrying her boyfriend Macaulay Culkin: "Not to say that I don't believe in it, but it's just not something that's important to me. But I will have children. I'm too selfish to have them now, but when I do, I don't feel like I need to be married. I need to have a person in my life who will care for me and my children—nothing else."

    Brittany Murphy: I’ve Never Been Fired!

    Yesterday, actress Brittany Murphy was plagued with untrue reports about being fired from the cast of The Caller.

    A rep for the 32-year-old actress has cleared up the rumors and released this statement: “The allegations currently circulating on the internet about Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack read like a fictional plot from one of the 50 plus movies Mrs. Murphy has successfully completed without incident. She was not nor has she ever been fired from any job big or small. Mr. Monjack did not engage in any alleged scuffles. Though due to creative differences Mrs. Murphy and the production mutually parted ways. As far as wanting to allegedly ’sabotage this project’, to the contrary Mrs. Murphy wished this production nothing but the best. Puerto Rico gave Mrs. Murphy a brief insight into its wonderful culture and warm people. Mrs. Murphy would like to take this opportunity to thank the public for their continued support.”

    And there you have it!
