Reese Witherspoon is the cover girl for the November 2009 issue of InStyle magazine. Reese has always been one of my favorite celeb moms. In the interview with the magazine she talks about Jake Gyllenhaal, divorce and  her time off. Here are the highlights.

On spending time with Jake: “Jake is a great cook, he does a lot. We spend the weekends outside of LA, where I have a farmhouse. We have chickens & we grow cucumbers & tomatoes. It reminds me of where I grew up in Tennessee.”

On divorce: “You reconsider certain things, but you just have to keep going, You have to keep it together for your kids and yourself too. I’m trying to learn from the things that have happened in my life, live more in the moment, and have more fun.

On her time off: “I try to exercise every day. I like to run for about an hour, and I’m big into working out with girlfriends.”

Jake can cook? I can only imagine how cool that would be.

Jennifer Connelly is the October 2009 cover girl for the UK version of InStyle magazine. You have to love the photo shoot she does with the magazine and especially the 8-inch heels. I have been staring at them trying to figure out how it would even be possible to walk on them.

The actress is married to actor, Paul Bettany, and they have one child together, Stellan, 6. She also has a son from a previous marriage, Kai, 12.

Kellan Lutz with his darker hair, for his role as Emmett in Eclipse, was at the InStyle Magazine’s Summer Soiree on Thursday night. It seems like none of these guys can sit still for one moment. They are filming their movie in Vancouver plus running around every where else too. It’s nice that they aren’t so lazy.

InStyle has given us a sneak peek of Taylor Lautner’s photo shoot for an upcoming issue of the magazine. It’s really a huge tease since all we can see is what he wears in the pictures. I know this photo shoot will be awesome.

They do list five things that you didn’t know about Taylor…and I have to admit that I didn’t know any of them.

1. He doesn’t have a Facebook orTwitter account, though he says plenty of people pose as him online.
2. He’s a major Red Bull fan and drank it throughout our shoot.
3. His favorite band, U2, is performing in Vancouver this summer, where he’ll be shooting Eclipse!
4. He can’t live without his leather jacket, so stylist Matthew Edelstein pulled this John Varvatos jacket for the shoot.
5. He drives a black BMW 5 series but is more into football than cars.

Leather, football, fast car…he seems like any girls dream!

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.”

Leighton Meester is featured inside the pages of the March 2009 issue of InStyle. I am beginning to like Leighton so much lately and realize she is nothing like her Blair character in Gossip Girl. This season seems to be focusing on Blair and how cool or not cool she is. About time! Now we need to get her back with Chuck!

More of Leighton after the jump…

I thought the photoshoot of the Twilight cast was good in Vanity Fair but this one for InStyle looks really good too. Robert Pattinson is so irresistible in these photos and Kristen Stewart looks amazing. It’s only six more days until the movie comes out. Who’s gonna be my date and take me??
