Amanda Seyfried Covers Elle, Red Riding Hood (Photos)

Actress Amanda Seyfried covers the newest issue of Elle, which you'll be able to pick up on March 15.  I've been a huge fan of hers since watching her debut episode on Big Love back in 2006.  Then of course (and in no particular order), there's Alpha Dog, Mean Girls, Mamma Mia, Jennifer's Body, Chloe, Letters to Juliet (just to name of few) and now Red Riding Hood, which hits theaters this Friday, March 11.

In the newest issue of Elle, Amanda dishes on her favorite on-screen kisses, breaking up with boyfriend Dominic Cooper, on being inspired by actress Meryl Streep, and on those rumors of romance with actor Ryan Phillipe, she quips:

"Um, yeah. I’ve been ‘seen’ with him."

Speaking of Red Riding Hood, Amanda hit the red carpet premiere in Hollywood on Monday at Grauman's Chinese Theater.

Queen Latifah Covers Parade

 

Is there anyone who doesn't like Queen Latifah?  I mean, she's beautiful, smart and funny, as well as hard working, AND she's hosting the People's Choice Awards on January 5th.  Really - what's not to love?

In the January 2 issue of PARADE magazine, this fabulous femme fatale dishes on what her future holds, including her film career and her quest to have kids.  The Queen also gushes on growing up in New Jersey, and even offers up some advice for future royal, Kate Middleton:

“Make sure you have a sanctuary, because everybody in the world is going to be in your business. He happened to be born a prince; you happened to go to college and meet him. You’re two kids who fell in love. I just hope you have a happy life. And don’t take anything personally.”

Taylor Lautner Covers GQ

Some highlights from GQ senior editor Mickey Rapkin interview with actor Taylor Lautner:

Lautner on what it felt like to present at the Oscars, with Kristen Stewart:

“I would have passed out if she wasn’t there!” Lautner says. “You’re looking down and you’re talking to George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio—and they’re listening to you!”

...on having to audition a second time for the role of Jacob Black:

“I’m in the gym, and I’m doing reps, and I’m reading the books, and I’m studying the character. I’m just saying to myself, ‘I want this role. I love this role. I’m not gonna lose it. And I’m gonna know it better than anybody, and I’m gonna do that extra rep, because I’m gonna be Jacob Black.’ ”

…on being careful about his rep as a “beefcake”:

“Originally I was supposed to take off my shirt. The script [of Valentine’s Day] said we were walking into school and Willy takes off his shirt. I said, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. He’s gonna take off his shirt in the middle of school? No, no, no. The reason I took off my shirt for New Moon is because it’s written in the book that way. And there’s reasons behind it.”

Chely Wright Confirms Gay Rumors

 

Country music singer/songwriter Chely Wright has confirmed she is gay.

People.com recently announced a celebrity planned to come out as homosexual in this week's issue of its magazine.

The announcement sparked much media speculation about who the star would be.

"There had never, ever been a country music artist who had acknowledged his or her homosexuality," Wright, 39, told People. "I wasn't going to be the first."

She went on to say she later experienced a change of heart.

"Nothing in my life has been more magical than the moment I decided to come out," Wright said.

The award-winning musician is to publish her memoir, "Like Me," later this week. She is also to release "Lifted off the Ground," her first album in five years, People.com noted.

Miley Cyrus Covers Parade

 

This Sunday in PARADE Magazine, Miley Cyrus talks about falling in love for the first time, facing controversy, and more.

Here's a sneak peek:

Miley calls her 19-year-old Aussie co-star her “first serious boyfriend," but what about Nick Jonas and Justin Gaston? 

“Nick and I were so young. We really did have a genuine love, but it wasn’t like this. We met when I was 12. I didn’t know who I was. I know who I am now and am so content and full of purpose.” As for model Justin Gaston, “He was a good person, so carefree. All I know is that I am so happy right now. I wasn’t last summer after I called it off with Justin and went away to film The Last Song. I cried all the way there. The last thing I was expecting to do was to fall in love. I went there thinking the summer was about me and getting focused on my career. But I guess God was like, ‘Girl, here is this amazing guy.’ ”

Miley says her faith is very important, but:

“I don’t necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday. Because now when I go to church, I feel like it’s a show. There are always cameras outside. I am very spiritual in my own way. Let me make it clear, though—I am a Christian. Jesus is who saved me. He’s what keeps me full and whole. But everyone is entitled to what they believe and what keeps them full. Hopefully, I can influence people and help them follow the same path I am on, but it is not my job to tell people what they are doing wrong.”

Robert Pattinson Does DETAILS

 
Actor Robert Pattinson covers this months issue of DETAILS and commands center stage in the magazine's March 10th Anniversary issue.

An interview with screenwriter Jenny Lumet and very steamy photo shoot by famed photographer Norman Jean Roy, make this an issue worth picking up when it hits the streets on February 23. 

Pattinson offered up some rather strange insights into his feelings on the female anatomy:  

"I really hate vaginas.  I’m allergic to vaginas.  But I can’t say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot , so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours...Thank God I was hungover."

In the meantime, access the slideshow and video on DETAILS.com, where additional outtakes from the shoot will be posted next week.

Michael Douglas on Parenthood: I Was No Angel

 
Not long ago, actor Michael Douglas sat down with AARP magazine for a little chat about family, his relationship with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, and well, his appreciation of Cialis and Viagra.

In the March/April  issue of AARP, the  two time Oscar winner also reflects on his career, pressures of the Hollywood biz, and the repercussions it can have on a family. Douglas also managed to share a few personal photos, as well as his insight on mistakes he made as a father, and lessons he learned during a career that has spanned decades. 

Douglas also spoke about his eldest son, Cameron, who is currently incarcerated in New York on felony drug charges.

Below are some highlights of the interview:

On Raising His Son Cameron, Who is Facing Drug Charges:

"I'll assume whatever responsibilities I have to. Would it have been better to have been around more? Absolutely. There were absences, and I was no angel. Cameron has a lot of life ahead. He now recognizes his own demons and struggles. He's a tough kid...Still, he's in a federal prison, and you've got some big, bad boys down there."

On Family, Life, and Love with Wife Catherine Zeta-Jones:

"I made a conscious effort, with Catherine being younger in her career, to say, 'Do what you've got to do and I'll follow you.' At least in your head, your fire burns as brightly.  Let's not kid ourselves.  But God bless her that she likes older guys.  And some wonderful enhancements have happened in the last few years – Viagra, Cialis – that can make us all feel younger. We have a deep understanding with each other rather than having to worry about fulfilling one another's expectations.  She knows what it's like to come back at night wiped out.  And it's all right to have silences."

On Parenting at 50+ in Hollywood:

"My career was the most important thing in my life, followed by marriage and children. And it's completely reversed now.  I never anticipated starting a family and the joy of raising kids at my age. I wince when I think I'll be close to 75 when my daughter is 16.  I'm not going to be able to physically chase the boys away."

On His Relationship with Father Kirk Douglas:

"I was the product of a divorced family.  My dad was always torn; he was working really hard and would want to see us.  But then, with all his Kirk Douglas passion, he'd try to be a father for a week, a summer, whatever.  It was tough."
