Lady Gaga Covers ‘Elle’ January 2010

Lady Gaga dons a sexy strapless top on the January 2010 cover of Elle magazine.

On a recurring theme in her work: “I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend. I can show you so you’re not looking for it. I’m dying for you on domestic television - here’s what it looks like, so no one has to wonder.”

On being a former waitress: “I was really good at it. I always got big tips. I always wore heels to work! I told everybody stories, and for customers on dates, I kept it romantic. It’s kind of like performing.”

On using her sexuality: “My album covers are not sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn’t think the photos were commercial enough.The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.”

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."

    Reese Witherspoon: We Must All…Break This Silence

    ”I’ve seen so many people who have suffered in silence and who are embarrassed or ashamed,” Reese said.

    ”You’re not alone and if you reach out there’s someone next door to you in your life who is ready to give you support and care and love and it’s important to know that.”

    FYI: Reese chose a “Aspre” dress by RM by Roland Mouret in autumn red.

    “We are privileged enough to be able to live someplace where we have a lot of nature around us. He’s outdoors as much as he’s indoors. That’s how I was raised, because we were raised in the country.”

    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.”

    WHAT DO YOU THINK of Tiger’s apology?

    Sarah Jessica Parker dons Chanel, Gucci and Stella McCartney for the January 2010 issue of Glamour, on stands December 8.

    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."
