Kristen Bell, Betty White and Jamie Lee Curtis share the cover of AARP magazine’s October 2010 issue!

Here’s what the ladies of You Again had to share:

Jamie, on aging and plastic surgery: "There are people who, when you see them on the screen, there's an audible gasp of ‘Oh my God.’ They look terrible—or they've done something to themselves and now look like freaks…There is only one Meryl Streep and one Sigourney Weaver. But I could name 30 other actresses in their [age] groups who aren't working today. Me, I'm getting my a– out of this business in a few years because genetically it's not going to work for me."

Betty, on friendship and women: : "I'm bleeding over losing Ruesy [the late actress and Golden Girls co-star Rue McClanahan], who was my dear friend. But as much as I love my friends, I wouldn't think of going out to lunch with a woman. I can't think of anything less interesting, except hen parties and showers—and I avoid them like the plague."

Kristen, on regrets and wanting to hit “rewind”: "Every experience has made me who I am, but if I had to choose, I guess I would have raised my glove and caught the softball that sent me to homecoming with two black eyes."

FYI: Betty will guest star on TONIGHT’S episode of NBC’s Community!

Sam Page shows off a bit of his chest in a Ralph Lauren Black Label shirt in this shot for August Man magazine’s October 2010 issue!

The 33-year-old actor is currently filming a story arc on Gossip Girl - Sam was spotted smooching Blake Lively on the set last week! Here’s what Sam had to share:

On playing the bad guy: “Playing bad guys is a new thing for me, and I have found that it is true, bad guys have much more fun. THey don’t get the girl, and usually end up dead or doing a stretch in prison, but they do have more fun on camera. I like playing them especially because the real me is quite the opposite. It’s always more fun to play something that is a departure from who you really are. It’s more fun filling out the character form a completely creative place, and to allow a glimpse into the dark side of yourself, one that we all have.”

On his fashion style: “I am a total sneaker-phile. T-shirts and jeans and some dope kicks. However, I do absolutely love to wear a beautiful suit. There’s nothing better than a crisp, well tailored suit. I guess I would describe my fashion style as classic, as I tend to stay away from trends, trendy being the opposite of classic, by definition. Why would one want to dress diametrically as opposed to classically?”

Adam Brody drops by The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to promote his film, The Romantics, on Tuesday (September 21).

They then wrapped up the segment with a long, awkward pause!

Check out the hilarious interview below. Also pictured: Adam, 30, with his girlfriend, screenwriter Lorene Scafaria, at the NY premiere of The Romantics on September 7.

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy may be giving their relationship another go.

Star is now reporting that Jim, 48, and Jenny, 37, have been been secretly meeting for the past month and have been talking almost daily.

"Jenny has told Jim that she missed him, and he didn't want to end it in the first place," an insider reveals. "Jenny now thinks she may have rushed into breaking up with Jim. He can be hard to deal with, but he can also be so sweet and loving and fun… Jim's daughter, Jane, had urged Jenny to take him back all along. Everyone in their circles agrees that Jim and Jenny belong together.”

We agree!!!

Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness pick up their adorable daughter Ava, 5, from school in NYC’s West Village on Thursday (September 23).

The 41-year-old Aussie actor recently wrapped up his new boxing flick, Real Steel, with Evangeline Lilly and Karl Yune.

Hugh recently wrote a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asking her to make sure the Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act is voted on and passed this month. As a father of two, we’re sure the health of his kids is always on his mind. What a great dad Hugh is!!!

Click inside to read Hugh’s full letter provided to JustJared.com…

————————-

“Dear Speaker Pelosi,

“As a parent, I am extremely concerned about the skyrocketing rates of obesity, diabetes, and other serious health problems we're seeing in children today. I am writing to ask you to take quick action to improve nutritional standards for school meals. Please ensure that H.R. 5504, the Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act, is voted on and passed this month.

“This crucial legislation would help schools serve more plant-based foods — fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes — because these foods have been shown to help children maintain a healthy weight and avoid disease. Schools should be able to purchase low-cost fruits and vegetables, and they should also have access to vegetarian entree options.

[JustJared.com exclusive]

“No school should have to serve high-fat pepperoni pizza and hot dogs just because it can’t afford more healthful meals. Out children deserve better. When kids are introduced to healthy foods at an early age, they are more likely to make healthy good choices throughout their lives.

“Please do everything in your power to pass this improved child nutrition legislation. Better school lunches are critical to keeping the next generation healthy and fit.

“Sincerely,
Hugh Jackman“

Alexis Bledel will soon be Saoirse Ronan’s partner in crime!

Alexis, 29, has signed on to star opposite Saoirse, 16, in the upcoming film Violet & Daisy about two teenage hitgirls, according to Variety.

The film centers around the young assassins who are lured into what is supposed to be just another quick, easy job.

They soon run into complications as the man they’re supposed to kill (James Gandolfini) is not what they expected.

The movie will be the directorial debut of screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher, who won an Oscar earlier this year for his work on Precious.

Acting goddesses Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster will co-star in the Roman Polanski-directed movie God Of Carnage.

According to Deadline, Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) and Matt Dillon (Crash) will play their husbands in the adaptation of Yasmina Reza's Tony Award-winning play.

Pic begins industriously enough, as two sets of parents meet to resolve a conflict that began on a school playground, when one child hit another child with a stick in the mouth. Immediately, the meeting devolves, and in a tight and loveless plot, vomiting, violence, fear, pain, and despair bubble up to alleviate any moments of humor with large doses of ache.

Shooting begins in Paris in February! Polanski cannot enter the US due to allegations against him for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in 1977. Yikes!

Angelina Jolie has chosen Bosnian actress Zana Marjanovic as the female lead in her directorial debut — a wartime love story between a Bosnian woman and a Serbian man.

Zana, 27, said that the the screenplay was “fabulous” and she could not wait to start shooting with such a “great actress and humanist” like Angie (she will serve as director, producer and screenwriter).

Hungary and Bosnia will both be used as locations to shoot the movie. Can’t wait!
