Kirsten Dunst looks so cute on the December 2009 cover of Allure magazine.  I thought it was interesting how she talks about Jake Gyllenhaal and how she would like to see him but they aren’t friends anymore. And to be honest I forgot they were even together before. Here are the highlights to the rest of the interview.

Her fame: “My life is totally regular. It’s not like I have a fame that’s a prison.”

Vampires: “I watch ‘True Blood.’ I love vampire stuff — it’s sexy. There’s a danger element, and it’s sensual, what they do. I love the movie ‘Twilight.’ It satisfies the 14-year-old girl in you.”

No guests allowed in her apartment: “My girlfriends will sleep in the bed with me, but no guests. Not long-term, anyway.”

Her role in murder-mystery ‘All Good Things:’ “After this film, I think people will see me in a different light. You can explore stuff inside yourself that you can’t really mess around with in real life, and it is such a release. In ‘All Good Things’ I got to play out things emotionally-I can recognize the behavior that I share with this character, then work things out that I didn’t have a way of expressing.”

Her recent cross-country trip: “After we were done, I was like, ‘Wow, America is so poor.’ You don’t think about it. Just the towns you come across-all that’s there are restaurants and gas stations. There are beautiful stretches of pasture, but for the most part, people live simply. The East and West Coast are so different from the rest of America.”

I followed one of the links to my stories today and I found this December 2009 cover of Gerard Butler for the Australia Men’s Fitness. I think he looks so different with the facial hair. I miss seeing his whole face!

P.S. Doesn’t he have amazing eyes? WOW!

The belated birthday boy, Gerard Butler, is on the November 2009 cover of Signature magazine.  In the magazine they talk about his most recent role, Clyde, in Law Abiding Citizen. That movie is about a Dad bent on bringing justice to the people that killed his wife and child in a home robbery. I have heard great things about this role and even Gerard is saying he’s surprised at the reception it’s been getting.

“It was incredible. I was surprised by how the audience gets on Clyde’s side. I think that we all have this sense of injustice and frustration, whether on a personal level, a community level or a national level. Where we feel like our balls have been cut off and there’s nothing we can do. One reason why 300 was so successful is that you saw your heroes kick ass – but not always in the nicest way.”

And what is more surprising is that he switched roles. He was supposed to be playing the part of the prosecutor but changed and wanted to be the criminal. I think that was a wise decision on his part.

I am a huge fan of Natalie Portman. There is just something about her that is awesome. She is starring in the new movie with Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire called Brothers. I love the trailer for the movie.  She is the cover girl for the Winter 2009/2010 issue of V magazine. Here are the highlights from the interview:

On harsh criticism of her Star Wars work: “My acting was not exactly respected in those films [laughs] but those are the moments when you want to prove yourself again. When people think I suck, it helps.”

On how the internet affects her roles: “[O]nline bulls— interferes with what I want to do artistically. I’m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I’m very opposed to pornography sites and you’re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that.”

On striving to be her best: “To be successful, you need the desire to be successful. Ambition can be a dirty word, but it’s pretty much more important than anything.”

It’s finally out the Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Entertainment Weekly feature. I really love that EW is really into them because I have pretty much saved every issue with them on the cover.

I have read most of the article and on one of the last pages I thought this was really neat. They asked the three of them who their Hollywood Heroes were. Here are their picks and their answers why.

Robert picked Ryan Gosling as his Hollywood Hero. “He chooses things that are so right for him. He has handled his career perfectly. He seems like a nice guy, so people don’t give any hassle, which seems completely reasonable.”

Kristen picked Catherine Keener as her Hollywood Hero. “She does what she wants, man. She’s amazing. She doesn’t have to deal with preconceived notions of her and expectations. People just take her work at face value. She’s great.”

Taylor picked Matt Damon as his Hollywood Hero. “The Bourne series! But I would want to do different things too. Ryan Reynolds or Gerard Butler –they’ll do the coolest action movie and then they’ll do a romantic comedy.”

Carrie Underwood is the cover girl for the December 2009 issue of Lucky magazine. I have always loved Lucky magazine it’s one of the more sensible magazines out there to chose from.

Carrie tells the magazine that she’s a casual dresser in general, “I love dressing up when I’m in front of a crowd but in my downtime, nothing beats a great pair of sweats.” (And just for a fun fact…the outfit she is wearing on the cover is about $3500. It looks so casual in itself.)

Today has become one of those every post is about Twilight days. I am not stopping now. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. The issue is dated November 20th…the exact same day New Moon comes out. That couldn’t have been a coincidence.

And the choice quote in the article?

”Jacob and Bella are so open, and they can tell each other everything. So it was very important for me and Kristen to grow very close before doing this.”

I can’t wait to see this issue. That’s if my mailman doesn’t decide to put a crease through the middle of it like he does every issue.

Taylor Lautner is the cover boy for the December 2009 issue of Men’s Health. Fan girls everywhere are crying that he has all his clothes on. We all know that to illustrate how in shape Taylor is he should have been shirtless, I am sure it would have been a best seller then. I guess it’s worth to note that Taylor is the magazine’s youngest cover star ever. I am glad that he is able to bring back the sexy for the young ones. (That was so wrong it was right.)

Taylor says to the magazine that his transformation is not through. He is making sure that he doesn’t lose weight because Jacob steadily gets bigger through the movie.

“My character continues to grow, so I’d like to pack on at least a few more lean pounds. I was exercising so hard that I began to lose weight.”

I am sure that is fine with everyone. Really I do.

Two more covers have been released for the December 2009 issue of O magazine. I think that I would be very happy if it was Ellen Degeneres and Oprah every month. (Here are the other two that were previously released.)

Oprah on the choice of Ellen for the cover: “Ellen DeGeneres is a woman who can make things happen. When she decided she wanted to be on the cover of O, she pulled out all the stops. It worked—for only the second time in O history, I’m sharing the cover with a woman I adore.”

On why she came out: “Just to say the words was so huge for me. You know, people say, ‘Why do you have to tell everybody, who cares, and why do you have to announce it?’ It’s because it’s your truth and the truth shall set you free.”

On wife Portia DeRossi: “Well, we’re perfect for each other. She is so beautiful and so smart and so funny, and with her, I have that sense of ‘I’m done now.’ I’m settled. I know that part of my life is taken care of. I’ve got love. I’ve got someone who will be with me till the day I die.”

On getting excited for American Idol: “They came to me, and it was a total surprise. I like to try new things because I get bored so easily. And I like the show, so I thought it was a great idea.”

This issue comes out tomorrow. Be sure to get it!

I can’t believe that the issue that Ellen Degeneres has been talking about all year is finally out. Ellen is covering the December 2009 issue of O with Oprah . I think the covers turned out amazing! This is only the second time in the magazine’s history that Oprah has shared the cover with someone else.

What did Oprah say about Ellen while they were doing the photo shoot?

“When Ellen arrived at the photo shoot for our cover, I didn’t have to ask her how she was doing: it showed on her face,” says Oprah. “She radiated the kind of peace and satisfaction that comes only when you’re living at your highest potential.”

I think Ellen is a great role-model.
