Hayden Panettiere is the cover girl for the August 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine. I love this cover of hers. She looks great in purple. In this issue she talks about her father, her parents and dating. Here are the highlights:

On her dad’s 2008 arrest for felony domestic violence against her mother: “I don’t know that I dealt with it any specific way. I mean, it’s hard enough going through it personally within your family, let alone when the entire world knows about it. It put my dad in this light that is so not him. You know your mind goes to: ‘He abuses, he beats his wife.’ For my dad to have that reputation now — which is so not who he is — kills me.”

On protecting her parents: “I know that I’m strong enough to deal. I’m less concerned about myself. But when it involves my family or people I care about, I mean, I’ll fly off the handle for my family.”

On dating: “I don’t know how to date. I’m not good at learning that sometimes you don’t like someone in that way — and figuring out how to deal with that. Because I don’t want to hurt his feelings. Right now, I’m just enjoying having fun. It’s when your not looking for anything that something winds up coming along, whether it’s a best friend or a guy.”

This season’s winner of America’s Next Top Model has her Seventeen cover and spread out. I think this is one of the better covers I have for sure seen, with my other favorite one being Caridee English’s. The spread is actually better than the cover. I’m was really torn this year, I think they had a lot more talent than they did in previous seasons of the show.

Okay, I hate JavaGirl for doing this to me…but I think I have a crush on Robert Pattinson. Oh, and then Pink Sheep of the Family published a really hot picture of him staring into my soul all hot and stuff. I feel so horrible since he is so much younger than me.

Seventeen magazine asked 17 questions to Robert and here are his sexy answers:

When was your first kiss? 12.

Who’s your celebrity crush? Kristen Stewart (he stars in Twilight with her!)

What’s a girl fashion trend that confuses you? Ugg boots! (It confuses me too, don’t worry!)

What’s the girly movie you secretly love? Pippi Longstocking. (I have watched that a million times!)

What’s your TV guilty pleasure? American Idol and X Factor.

Who would play you in the movie version of your life? I’d play it because I probably won’t be employed after this.

What’s your dream job? Being a pianist.

If you could trade places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be? Someone who has lots of respect or power. George Bush, possibly. (Respect?? George Bush?? WTF???)

Who in your family are you closest to? My dog, Patty. (I love guys with dogs!)

What’s your favorite Website? YouTube (Not TEN Gossip…awwww)

What’s the fast food you can’t live without? I like all fast food, but my favorite is probably In-N-Out Burger.

What’s your worst habit? Speaking too much. (I have that problem too!)

What’s the last song you listened to on your iPod? I don’t remember the exact song, but it was something James Brown from the Black Caesar sound track. (My last song, Electric Feel by MGMT!)

What’s the last thing you bought? Toilet paper.

What did you dream about last night? Kristen [Stewart].

How much money is in your wallet right now? Thousands of dollars. (I need to meet this guy!)

Fill in the blank: When I was 17, I was ____________. So much cooler because I knew less about myself.

Ashley Tisdale is the November 2008 covergirl for Seventeen magazine. I think she looks cute and fresh on the cover! Here are some highlights of the interview included in the magazine…

On relationships:Relationships help you learn more about what you want. If one doesn’t work out, you just kind of look at it and go, Okay, well, this is what I did like and this is what I didn’t like, and this is what I did wrong, and maybe I need to be more like this. And so you learn things, and that’s why you grow. And you bring all the stuff that you’ve changed about yourself to a new relationship until you finally find that person you really, really want.

On seeing other celebrities: I get crazy over reality stars. When I see a star who’s an actor, someone like Jake Gyllenhaal, I don’t get very starstruck. I’m like, ‘Oh, well, I’m an actor too.’ And it’s cool because we’re all doing the same thing. But reality stars, you get to know their lives, so you feel like you know them. So, whenever I see a reality star, I’m like, ‘Oh, my gosh!’ I get so freaked out over them, it’s funny.

On her decision to get into acting: [Being in the business] was never something that my parents forced me into. I was just found in a New Jersey mall and it just so happened that I started booking all of these commercials. My mom was like, ‘I don’t know, I guess this is meant to happen,’ but it’s always been left up to me whether or not I wanted to do it.

More…

On her favorite body part: I think my legs are my favorite body part. My mom has really nice, long legs that are skinny. I’m short, though, like 5′3″, but I have such long legs that people think I’m taller.

(I thought she was at least 5′8″!!)

On what her backup career would be: When I was younger I used to pretend to write scripts. I was going to be a writer; if I had gone to college it would have been for writing, not for acting, just because I was doing acting classes anyway.

On the paps: At first I was so defensive toward them, and, like, Get out of my way, please don’t take pictures of me, because I just don’t like the idea of it. I want to be known for my work rather than when I’m going to Coffee Bean or shopping. However, I’ve learned to deal with it by releasing the stress at the gym and just smiling and giving them what they want, because when you do that, they treat you differently.

America Ferrera is Seventeen magazine’s October 2008 cover girl. Here are some of the highlights of the interview.

On being friends with Sisterhood costars Blake Lively, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel: “One of the most wonderful experiences I’ve had with girl relationships was working with them on Sisterhood. I’d worked with other girls before and it was pretty catty. But this time, I thought, I don’t want to feel judged or defensive. So before we started shooting, I was like, I’m just going to show up to work and be professional – not their best friend. But a couple of weeks into shooting, Amber and I started talking. She’s a hippie and I thought we had nothing in common – and now she’s one of my closest friends!”

On Gossip Girl being a bad influence: “Close, genuine female relationships are not what generally gets depicted in movies and TV shows. Like, if you’re watching The Hills or 90210, all the backstabbing shapes the way we act – you go to school, and you think your job is to find a sworn enemy and be jealous of each other. I mean, I love Blake [Lively]; she’s a wonderful friend of mine, but shows like Gossip Girl kind of condition us to be mean.”

Blake Lively is the August 2007 cover girl for Seventeen magazine. I’m not sure what happened with this cover because she is so pretty and this cover is not!

Here are some highlights from the interview:

On her real-life high school compared to Gossip Girl: “Oh, my goodness, my real-life high school experience could not be more different than Gossip Girl. Burbank feels like a small town in the big city of L.A. So for a fun night out, we would go to school fund-raisers. I was very involved in school – I was class president! And all of my friends were good – nobody was too wild. The kids on Gossip Girl enjoy getting a great education, but they couldn’t care less about school itself. But I think at the core, everyone deals with similar things in high school: jealousy, people making up rumors, dating someone you shouldn’t, or wanting to be with someone who’s unattainable.”

On her most awkward moment on Gossip Girl: “Chace and I had to do that scene in the first episode when I’m sitting on his lap on the barstool. Then they call, ‘Cut!’ and I just have to sit on the lap of this guy I met two weeks before! And I’m like, ‘So, you want to get some pizza tonight or something?’ What do you even talk about?!? It’s not as romantic as people think it is.”

On playing Guitar Hero: “I play in tournaments in Brooklyn. I’ll cover myself in sailor tattoos and dress like a rock star. Everyone else dresses totally normally and must think I’m a complete freak!”

On being compared to a hotel heiress: “I once heard someone say that I’m similar to Paris Hilton – since I have a dog and blonde hair, that must mean we’re alike. “It’s a dumb thing to say. I dont think that makes Paris and me similar … I don’t go to clubs, I don’t party, I don’t dance on tables, and I don’t like sex tapes.”

On her relationship with her on-and-off-screen boyfriend and how actors fall for each other: “Penn [Badgley] does these silly dance moves, and he’s very witty and quick, so it’s fun to have sharp banter with him… When you’re saying these words [from the script] that people are making you say to one another, nothing about it is real or genuine. So if two people connect outside their characters, then that’s how they get together.”

On being passionate: “When I care about somebody, whether it’s my best friend or somebody who I would date, I give them all of my heart. I’ve just been so loved, and I’m used to really loving people and trusting them.”

Blake Lively says the comparison to her and Paris Hilton is just dumb!

“Since I have a dog and blond hair, that must mean we’re alike. It’s a dumb thing to say. I don’t think that makes us similar,” the Gossip Girl star says in the August issue of Seventeen.

“I don’t know her, but I don’t like being compared to anyone by somebody who doesn’t know me. I’m my own person. I don’t go to clubs, I don’t party, I don’t dance on tables and I don’t like sex tapes.”

I honestly think that Blake is nothing like her. I like Blake…and I don’t like Paris!
