Gwyneth Paltrow Covers ‘Harper’s Bazaar’

Gwyneth Paltrow looks stunning on the July 2008 issue of Harper’s Bazaar - just divine in pink! In this issue, she talks about having to stay in shape.

“All the negative things have actually ended up being really positive because they’ve kick-started me into thinking how I want to look for the rest of my life.”

You better speak on it Gwyneth! Many people in the entertainment industry try to break people down by mainly by criticizing others weight. I stay fit only because it is healthy - I love having a clean body and soul. Staying fit doesn’t mean you have to be a size 0 or a size 2. You can be a size 12 and still be healthy and fit.

Did Leona Lewis Diss Mariah?

British sensation Leona Lewis covers the July issue of Blender magazine and I love the cover. However, I hate when people compare her to Mariah Carey, saying ’she is the next Mariah’. I only mention Mariah in this post only because of the cover tag ‘Look out Mariah, Leona is Pop’s Next Megastar’. Just because Leona can hit notes in the whistle register doesn’t mean she is the next Mariah. Both women have their own style.

“I don’t wear little mini skirts and low-cut tops. If you want to show your bits off, it’s up to you. When I was 18, I had a few glasses of Alcopop — they’re bubblegummy drinks with a bit of alcohol — and it was gross. I’ve tasted champagne, which is gross. And I tasted wine, which I don’t like.”

I notice that when many singers come on the scene, they embrace the girl next door look, but then years later they shed that image for a more sexed up image. But then again, there are some that don’t shed it, but embrace it with a little sex appeal, i.e. Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff. Thoughts?

Angelina Jolie Covers ‘Vanity Fair’

The splendiferous mother-to-be Angelina Jolie graces the cover of July’s issue of Vanity Fair. She is just stunning! I know she is ready to have her babies - yes, you already know she will be having more kids!

On being pregnant with twins: “I love it. It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing. Also, I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depend-ing on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”

On her international family: “When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other. I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”

On daughter Shiloh’s birth: “We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing…. I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn’t find it a sacrifice and I didn’t find it a painful experience. I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do.”

Renee Zellweger Covers ‘In Style’ UK!

Love muffins this month’s issue of UK In Style (July) features Renee Zellweger as its cover girl, a just splendiferous cover girl I might add! Here are some of the highlights:

On working with George Clooney: “It was a no-brainer. I heard George was making a movie and I said, “When?” If he had asked me to make peanut butter sandwiches for the catering, I would have said, “Crunchy or smooth?” It’s never less than great with him. And poor me, I had to watch guys throwing a football all day. Yeah, that was horrible. (Chuckles) Talk about living the dream.”

On being a happy person: “I’m fortunate. I think I was born happy. If I have a bad moment, it doesn’t take me long to switch the gear back. I say, ‘That sucked,’ and move on. There’s a lot I want to do. I want to be better at things. I want to know more; I want to understand more. I want to figure out what it is I’m supposed to do. I’m on the road, but I know it’s not the whole road.”

On being Fulfilled: “I’m not about “If only””, she says of her life. “I know the reality of things and there’s always good there. There’s no yearning with me. There’s intention.”

On acting and liking her job: “I like the struggle of my work,” she continues. “I like that it’s ridiculous and that it matters to me for reasons I can’t verbalise eloquently. I like it when you’re shooting in 47 degrees below zero and everybody looks the same and it’s hilarious and we’re getting done what we’d hope to do that day.”

On being conscientious: “I care about what the path I tread looks like. That matters to me – not how other people perceive me. I don’t want to be cruel or belittle people. That’s not part of my constitution and I’m very glad that it isn’t.”

Is Tyra Banks The Next Stepford Wife?

Nope, but she is on her way to be the next Martha Stewart - her hero as she covers the New York Times Magazine . The big hair is a bit much, but her face is fierce.

Her brand, like her trademark ‘tough but still smiling’ smile, is consistent in all her shows: serious about the frivolous; empathetic and empowering; and always, always aimed at young women, across all races. It’s girly TV with a punch.

I can see Tyra being at the top with Martha and Oprah. Do you think she has what it takes?

Kristin Davis Covers UK Marie Claire!

Love muffins check out Kristin Davies who did a cover interview for the July issue of UK Marie Claire, which is a special Sex and the City issue. In the interview one of the main things she talks about is her former alcoholism.

On sex and shopping: “I’m not really a shopper so that’s the easy one. I have to say definitely good sex. What makes good sex? Oh my god. I think you need to feel free and to feel free you have to really trust the other person. Erm, and you have to have that strange, mysterious chemical connection.”

On not really feeling like an adult: “I guess, at some point I felt like I would feel like an adult. Certainly it’s very different to be 43 as opposed to when I was young and 43 seemed really, really old.”

On facing her own mortality: “This is going to sound strange but I really didn’t think I would pass 30. I don’t know why or whatever, I just didn’t. It’s a very weird thing to say, I’m sorry. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I was drinking so much as a youth. You know, I drank a lot when I was teenager and I don’t drink anymore because that’s when I thought, you know, I’m gonna end up a car wreck. I just had a fatalistic viewpoint of the whole situation at that point.”

Christina Covers US Magazine!

Christina Aguilera looks stunning on the cover of the June issue of US magazine and wasn’t afraid to talk about her cup size.

“I’ve never fit into an E-cup before…I look at my husband and go, ‘Guess what size this bra is?’ And when I tell him, he’s just amazed. We keep the tags that prove it, to look back for memory’s sake!”

Recently Christina left the recording studio in Hollywood, California. I am super duper excited about her new album. I’m not the only one right?
