Anna Friel Thinks Her Legs Are Sexy

Posted by taylor blue on July 19, 2009 | No Comments

I was crushed when Pushing Daisies was canceled. I loved the show. And I have to admit that when they showed the last three episodes of the show I didn’t watch them. I wanted to leave the show the last way I remembered. And now I seem to see the cast every where. Anna Friel is in a photo spread for the August 2009 issue of UK Glamour.  I love the photo shoot they did with her.

She is starring in the movie, Land of the Lost, with Will Ferrell, and she said that she struggled with playing the sexy assistant. She decided that her favorite part of her body, that she thinks is sexy, is her legs.

“I personally think my legs are better than my boobs. I was a little worried at first, but in the end, the general consensus was to go with the legs. I was relieved because all the original sketches showed my character with a little shirt tied barely an inch above my midriff. All in all, I’d rather show my legs than my tummy. I find that sexier, and fortunately the director agreed.”

Anna also says she feels the pressure to stay thin in Hollywood these days.

“You do have to stay slim, and you can’t make excuses. Looking good is a serious business and you have to make a decision to go along with it or else you’re just not going to get the work. In the beginning, I had such an awful time that I just wanted to run back home. But, looking back today, I’m glad I stuck it out. I never aspired to be the pretty girl because, if that’s all you’re known for, then you’re going to have a pretty short career.”

I think she looks great. I don’t know what she is worrying about.

Drew Barrymore: When Photoshop Goes Bad

Posted by taylor blue on July 18, 2009 | No Comments

Drew Barrymore is on the August 2009 issue of the Australian Harper’s Bazaar. I like Drew, I’ve followed her career, I have nothing against her but come on now. I have been to about seven or eight posts on this issue and no one has mentioned the bad photoshop job they did on Drew. Are we that blind we can’t see it or do we not want to say something when it’s justified? Saying they did a bad photoshop job has nothing to do with Drew, she doesn’t work for them doing that. It’s crazy what the media as a whole decides to ignore. And what crap they actually post.

Taylor Lautner Does Interview Magazine

Posted by taylor blue on July 16, 2009 | No Comments

Back at the beginning of June we got to see Taylor Lautner taking pictures for Interview magazine. And now the wait is over and we finally get to see some of the pictures. He is in the August 2009 issue. I love Interview magazine. (I even have a subscription to it too!) Here are some of the questions he answers in the interview:

Do you feel like you’re walking around in a different body [since gaining 30 pounds of muscle for New Moon]? I don’t at all. I haven’t noticed much of a change. I grew out of a lot of my clothes, though. I went from a men’s small to a men’s large.

What was your training regimen? I was in the gym five days a week, two hours a day. At one point, I was going seven days straight. I had put on a lot of weight, and then I started losing it drastically, so I was worried. It turned out I was overworking myself. My trainer told me that I couldn’t break a sweat, because I was burning more calories than I was putting on. The hardest thing for me was the eating. At one point I had to shove as much food in my body as possible to pack on calories. My trainer wanted me to do six meals a day and not go two hours without eating. If I would cheat on eating one day, I could tell—I’d drop a few pounds.

What’s in store for Jacob? He’s a lot different than he was before. He transforms mid-story—in the first half, he’s Twilight Jacob. I’m wearing a wig. My character’s very clumsy, outgoing, and friendly. When he transforms into a werewolf, he becomes something very different. It’s like I’m playing a split personality. Which is tricky, because sometimes I’ve had to play pre- and post-transformation Jacob on the same day of filming.

Are Twilight fans as intense as they seem? They are very intense, but it’s cool that they’re so dedicated and so passionate. They’re the reason we’re here doing this sequel. So I’m thankful for the fans. I like meeting them. But, yeah, they’re pretty intense. Sometimes it becomes a little overwhelming.

How does it feel to be a source of worship? I don’t even know. I don’t know if it’s really hit me yet. They’re just passionate for the series and for the characters, and we’re just lucky enough to be a part of this. I don’t think it has much to do with me personally; it’s more because I’m playing the beloved Jacob Black.

Were you a Twilight fan before? I was not a vampire or werewolf fan at all. I’d never even heard of the series. I auditioned for the role, and as soon as I got it, I started reading the books. I’m not a reader, but I really did get hooked on them.

Read the rest of the interview in the magazine when it comes out. I will be buying a copy of this one!

Katherine Heigl Covers InStyle Magazine

Posted by taylor blue on July 15, 2009 | No Comments

Katherine Heigl is on the August 2009 issue of InStyle magazine. Katherine isn’t one of my favorite people but I do think that she did do an awesome photo shoot. Here are the highlights of the interview she did:

On meeting her husband, singer-songwriter Josh Kelley: “I was fed up with trying to be somebody else and got really lucky and met a great guy who loved me for me. It’s hard—I think women have to struggle to define themselves, to find what they want. I keep telling my friends, seriously, write down what you want and make it specific. Like, I’m talking, do you want a beach house in Venice? Be specific and be creative and define not only what you want in your career but what you want in your personal life.”

On family tragedies—her brother’s death in 1986 and her mother’s battle with breast cancer: “Here’s the deal: This is what my family and I have been through, and although we’re not perfect, we are survivors. [My siblings and I] were taught to overcome—although that’s not the right word because you don’t really overcome that kind of stuff, but you do learn to live with it and you learn to live despite it… No one in my family ever said, ‘Life’s not worth living because this happened or that happened to me.’ It’s always worth living. And living well.”

On being criticized last summer for saying the Grey’s Anatomy material she’d been given to work with wasn’t Emmy-worthy: “Now I’ve got this moniker that I’m the foot-in-the-mouth gal, and I keep thinking, In what way? Because I said something you don’t agree with? Because I said something you don’t like? I’m just telling you my opinion. I hate the idea that I can’t be honest about how I feel about things because it’s going to piss somebody off who feels differently. That seems preposterous to me.”

Brad Pitt Says Everyone Lies Online

Posted by taylor blue on July 15, 2009 | No Comments

Brad Pitt is the cover boy for the August 2009 issue of Wired magazine. He had to show up on the cover looking all scraggly with his beard. I’m not so sure what girls see in him. I have never thought he was hot. In the issue he discusses internet and Twitter etiquette. (Does he even use a computer? He looks like the type that wouldn’t need such a mindless thing to entertain him.)

On his thoughts of tweeting a picture of his wife’s butt like Ashton Kutcher did of Demi Moore: “Don’t take a picture of your wife’s butt. That’s silly. Take pictures of other people’s wives’ butts.”

On lying about how much money you make on your online dating profile: “Everyone lies online. In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don’t, they’ll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie.”

On talking on the phone while taking a whiz: “No, you can’t talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation? That’s why you should only text in the bathroom. Just be sure you don’t hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don’t want those followers.”

On sometimes awkward cyber dilemmas: “Who cares if your Warcraft wife is really a dude. If it’s good, don’t check under the hood.”

He’s actually funny in this interview. I might have to go and buy the issue to read the rest of it.

Channing Tatum & His Amazing Abs Do GQ

Posted by taylor blue on July 14, 2009 | No Comments

Channing Tatum might be off the market now, since he just got married this weekend, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t look at his yummy abs. He’s the cover boy for the August 2009 issue of GQ.  You can catch Channing in his next movie G.I. Joe in August but until then see what he has to say in GQ. Here are the highlights:

On his Uncle Bruce’s 300-acre ranch in Wetumpka (33 miles northeast of Montgomery, Alabama): “[It's my] favorite place on the planet, by far. ‘Cause it’s real, you know?”

On how he fell into Hollywood: “I got crazy lucky. Like, sometimes I think I won the lottery or something. At times it feels like the bottom’s gonna fall out. Just ’cause I don’t really know how I got here. But I just keep moving forward, and it just keeps getting better and better.”

On his movies Step Up and Coach Carter: “[They're called] tweeners—you know, those midlevel-budget movies that just kinda do good.”

On G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, out August 7: “This is, like, my first step out into the whole commercial realm. I hope it does okay.”

On being proud of his presidential pick in Alabama, which is largely Republican: “I don’t care. If they don’t like me because I voted for Obama, then f— them. I like horses and I like Obama. Nothin’ wrong with hat.”

I have a feeling he will do just fine in the G.I. Joe market. I just watched him recently in Stop-Loss, he did an amazing job in that movie too.
