Julia Roberts is looking lovely on the cover of Elle magazine’s September 2010 issue, on newsstands August 11!

Here’s what the 42-year-old Eat, Pray, Love actress had to share:

On her family with husband Danny Moder: "The children became the shooting stars of him, of that thing we have. How lucky we are that we love each other so much that we burst into three pieces."

On behind the scenes pranks with the cast of the Ocean's movies: "Those boys! I was the only girl there. One day George Clooney put these giant potted trees in front of my door so that I couldn't get out to work. I pride myself on being punctual! You didn't want to leave your camera lying around, either, People were breaking into each other's rooms, taking them, and let's just say you didn't want your mom picking up your photos at Walgreens! Photos of unidentifiable body parts."

-On botox/the plastic surgery trend in Hollywood: "It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story… and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office."

Eminem will premiere his “Love The Way You Lie” video featuring Rihanna tomorrow (August 5) @ 9PM ET/PT. Check back then to watch it on JustJared.com!

“Joseph and I worked pretty closely together to make sure we got this right,” commented Eminem. “Trying to make this tough subject work visually is a challenge. It was great to have Rihanna, Megan and Dominic on board for this … .they really brought it and made this video super-powerful.”

Megan donated her fee for her video appearance to Sojourn House, a shelter that provides abused women and their children a safe space to regroup, rebuild, and reestablish their self-esteem and lives. Way to go, Megan!

Check out this new video featuring Kanye West!

“From Civilization to Power,” from Marco Brambilla, pays homage to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescos while depicting Kanye, characters and creatures all in slow motion.

Kanye’s “Portrait of Power” premieres on Thursday (August 5) on MTV after Jersey Shore. “It’s not a video…it’s a painting!!!” he tweeted.

“This is a highly constructed, highly mannered, somewhat religious tabla that communicates the end of an empire,” Marco said, adding that his “work often deals with the seduction and the alienation present in contemporary culture.”

FYI: Video is not safe for work and includes artistic nudity.

Listen to Taylor Swift’s newest song, “Mine”!

The new tune marks the 20-year-old country cutie’s first single from her new album, Speak Now, which hits shelves October 25.

Back in May, MTV asked Taylor what Speak Now is about. “What do you think?” Tay laughed. “Boys and love!”

“I’ve been writing it for the past two years,” she added, “so this summer it’s all about the finishing touches.”

FYI: Tay picked up a VMA nomination earlier this week for her video for “Fifteen”!

The 38-year-old actor plans to bring glitz and glamor to Hollywood Boulevard when the theater opens this fall as part of an expected five-year, $25 million deal.

"Since before I can remember, putting on an extravaganza like Beacher's Madhouse (an NYC comedy variety hit) has been a dream of mine. Now that I have met the creative and gifted Jeff Beacher, this dream is about to become a wild mind-blowing reality at the Roosevelt Hotel in glamorous Hollywood, California," David said.

Jennifer Aniston got a surprise visit from her BFF while at work this morning (August 4) in Los Angeles!

During a break in filming her work-in-progress, Horrible Bosses, Jen had a quick catch-up session with former Friends co-star Courteney Cox.

“Horrible Bosses and Courteney’s ABC drama Cougar Town are on the same lot, so Courteney just stopped by before heading to her own set,” a source exclusively tells JustJared.com. “Looks like Jen’s cameo on Cougar Town is going to happen, everybody’s right next door from each other!”

Courteney also stopped by to chat with Jen’s co-star Jason Bateman! (Jen and Jason have already starred alongside each other in 2006’s The Break-Up and The Switch, out August 20.)

Lindsay Lohan inspired designer Marc Ecko’s new ad campaign for his new Cut & Sew line and even lent her famous face to the new line - but it’s not her body in the shots!

The 24-year-old actress served as Marc’s “digital muse” - her face was superimposed on a model’s body to create composite shots for the new campaign, shot by photographer Zach Gold and also directed on video by Markus Klinko & Indrani for augmented reality sketches debuting on Tuesday (August 10).

"A muse has the ability to inspire the artist to create in ways they wouldn't otherwise contemplate,” Marc said in a statement to JustJared.com. “For better, or worse, they make you feel something, emotionally. I cast Lindsay because people are fascinated with her - they can either feel good or bad things, but they are feeling some type of emotion. She's a pop culture icon."

Ke$ha comes out to support her RCA Music Group labelmate Mike Posner at the release party of his debut album 31 Minutes To Takeoff at NYC’s Greenhouse on Tuesday (August 3) in New York City.

The 23-year-old “Take It Off” singer had reason to smile - she was nominated for multiple MTV VMAs yesterday! “i cant even put into words actually how much this means to me; ) thank you to every single [one] of my fans.. !!!!!!!!” she tweeted.

FYI: Mike will be performing TONIGHT on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!

31 Minutes To Takeoff drops on Tuesday, August 10th!

Check out the movie post for Joaquin Phoenix’s new film, I’m Still Here!

Here’s the synopsis for the film, due out September 10: “The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I'M STILL HERE is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I'M STILL HERE follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician.

“Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.”

Wyclef Jean has announced his intentions to run for the Haitian presidency.

The 37-year-old musician and social activist confirmed the news to Time, saying, “If not for the earthquake, I probably would have waited another 10 years before doing this….If I can’t take five years out to serve my country as President, then everything I’ve been singing about, like equal rights, doesn’t mean anything.”

“I want to be part of a different kind of celebrity,” Wyclef concluded, “one that thinks not just about charity but policy.”

Wyclef was born in Haiti and left with his family at the age of 9 to go to New York City.

20+ pictures inside of Kellan Lutz moving out of his place in L.A…

Ryan Reynolds is set to executive produce and narrate The Whale, a documentary about a killer whale that tries to become friends with humans!

The 33-year-old Canadian actor reportedly signed on to the project because it’s set near his hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia.

In the story, Luna, a baby killer whale, is separated from his family while off the coast of Vancouver. He becomes friendly with humans, “which leads to laughter, conflict and unexpected consequences,” according to Variety.

Ryan’s wife, Scarlett Johansson, is also executive producing!

Drew Barrymore looks heavenly in Valentino as she covers Marie Claire UK’s September 2010 issue!

Here’s what the 35-year-old Going The Distance actress had to share:

On love: “I'm happy to say that, at 35 years old, I feel I know less than ever, but in a liberating way. I'm trying to figure out how to make relationships work. The only thing I know is that there aren't any rules. There should be no infrastructure on how a couple is supposed to work. Life isn't like that.”

On trying phone sex: “Oh, I've had successful phone sex – it can work. I think it's f—ing weird – it's super weird. I totally tried it, though, with a little success at one point in my life, but it was just a thing you try, like wearing orange for a while. I don't think it's something I could live my life with. What makes me happy right now is something very tangible and that's the people I know that I really, really like and love and get such a sense of happiness from. My tribe.”
