Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey feature on four special Christmas covers of O Magazine.
DeGeneres, 51, told Winfrey, 55, why she wanted to be on the cover. She said: “It got started because I was in a CoverGirl ad that was on the inside cover of your magazine.
“I held it up on my show and said: ‘I’m on the cover of O! I’m on the inside cover, but I’m on the cover.’
“And that rolled into: ‘Well, if I’m that close, I might as well be on the cover’, and I started the campaign.”
Winfrey, who personally interviewed DeGeneres for the December issue of her magazine said: “You started your campaign and I was like: ‘Well, is she really serous?’ So we waited a couple of weeks and I decided you were.”
Here is the photo of Vanessa Hudgens’ cover for the May issue of Self Magazine.
She recently purchased her own home, and is having interior designer Kenneth Brown decorating it with her. He is also doing her boyfriend Zac Efron’s home as well.
Here are a few highlights from the interview:
“I keep a Taser in my purse for self-defense,” Vanessa said. “I’m moving into a house by myself, and it’s scary.”
She talked about not wearing makeup: “Sometimes I feel prettier without makeup. You take it off and you’re like, Oh, there I am! But red lips make me feel sexy . . . It brings out the vixen in you.”
Taylor Swift was on the cover of the magazine’s March 2009 issue.
Vanessa is currently in New York City to watch her boy Zac, as he is hosting Saturday Night Live TONIGHT @ 11:30PM ET/PT on NBC.
Lindsay looking fabulous. The wonders of Photoshopping are aptly displayed here aren’t they?
In other news on Linds…
She’s back on the prowl as TMZ is reporting that SaMan changed the locks on her home over the weekend, their photographers took photos of the locksmith, and Lindsay herself just gave this statement to E! News:
Lindsay tells E! News that she has confirmed that she has split up with SaMan. For those of you who follow her Twittering, you’ll most likely know about how upset she was! Here is her brief little statement:
“We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself.”
Wonder if what went down on the weekend has anything to do with this little time-out…
Lindsay was not invited to the launching of SaMan’s sister, Charlotte Ronson’s new fashion line with JC Penney over the weekend. Lindsay had to be escorted out of the building by security as SaMan left instructions she was not to be let in.
Sources told OK Magazine Linds even knew she wasn’t supposed to go, but tried anyways to get in and ended up being “restrained from coming in by five security guards.”
Miley is the cover girl for the May 2009 cover of Glamour magazine.
Here’s what she had say:
On where she sees herself in ten years: “Hopefully I’ll be settled: making movies, living in a house, maybe even married. I think my mom did everything pretty close to perfect, and I want to be the cool mom that the kids run home to.”
On her boyfriend: “…The best thing that’s happened to me in a long, long time has been meeting Justin [Gaston], because he’s the most respectful and selfless person I’ve ever known.”
On her figure: “One thing that bugs me is people who say, ‘Miley really needs to lose some weight’ or ‘She got her boobs done.’ I did start out really skinny, but you’re not going to have boobs when you’re 12 years old. I’m like, ‘What are you talking about—let me grow!’”
On her Hollywood role models: “I’m a huge Jennifer Aniston fan and a huge Angelina Jolie fan. Jennifer Aniston can put on a plain black dress, with plain makeup and hair, and look so stunning. Angelina always looks so comfortable in her own skin. She’s also changed, going from wild child to being a mom and having a normal life. And Jennifer Aniston bounced back after her divorce. If anything like that ever happens to me, I’m like, ‘Pull a Jennifer, Miley!’ She is so classy.”

Hannah Montana The Movie opens in theaters on Friday, April 10.
Having a 20 year old boyfriend at 16… is a major concern not only for her parents but for Disney. I hope she grows up and matures into a lovely young woman and not a trainwreck… but some of her interviews that she does shows she still has a lot of growing up to do. I wonder what her older boyfriend has in common with her besides enjoying her fame and fortune?
Does Posh think she is walking on a catwalk? Does the woman think she is Supermodel? Is this why every time she steps out in public she struts and poses like she is at a fashion show?
Does she live her life solely to be the center of attention? Is this what this outfit is about?
I have no doubt that she adores her children and hubby David but it’s painfully obvious that her Raison d’être is her love of fashion.
Does she think she is an icon? This picture makes her look like a fashion victim… but I can’t help but love the cheek of her. How she parades around in public with that poker straight face amuses me!
JT is honored with GQ’s Most Stylish Man Award in the magazine’s March 2009 issue.
He talks about who his style icon is: JT said:
“Kate Moss. She looks good in anything. She would look good in one of your T-shirts, in her T-shirt, in a man’s suit, in a huge gown. She looks amazing naked. She even makes nude look stylish. That, to me, is a style icon. She could put a barrel on and it would be some sort of statement.”
The writer of the article closes the interview by saying that Justin always hits the right notes in fashion:
“The guy is the King of Pop—he can wear whatever the hell he wants.”
Other musical artists who are named as honorees at GQ.com, include: Mark Ronson, Kanye West, T.I.
Christina Milian is one half of Rap-Up’s double magazine cover, T.I. is the other half. It is also the first cover she’s done since parting ways with Island Def Jam in 2006.
The 27-year-old singer broke her silence to Rap-Up and talked about the emotional roller coaster ride she’s been on these past two years. She talks about her reaction to ex-boyfriend Nick Cannon’s marriage to Mariah Carey, and her brand new album on MySpace Records.
On how crushed she was after being dropped from her label:
“It was embarrassing. It was a week after my album [So Amazin’] got put out. I would be in my room a lot of the time crying by myself.”
On the reason she feels as to why she was dropped:
“It was a budget cut, I believe. [Def Jam] probably got rid of projects like mine to spend the money on [Rihanna].”
On who she credits with her getting back into music:
“I bumped into Janet Jackson at a club. We talked for an hour and I was telling her I don’t know if I’m gonna do this, and she was like, ‘Girl, do not let them stop you. I’m a fan and you make good music.’ She’s a person I actually looked up to growing up, so her telling me that really was the day I was like, ‘I’m not gonna let these people
hold me down. It’s time.’”
On learning about ex-boyfriend Nick Cannon’s marriage to Mariah Carey:
“I was surprised like everyone else. I was like, ‘Really?’ It just seemed like a weird match, but I was happy for him. I always feel Nick works hard to get what he wants, whether that be women—that’s how he got me.”
Rap-Up.com has a preview and the Winter 08/09 issue, hits stands December 23nd
Beyonce gave us way too much information on how she gets into character as her alter ego Sasha Fierce in issue #56 of V Magazine, which goes on sale this week. Here she is on the cover. Editor-in-chief Stephen Gan raved about her when he said this:
“Beyonce is a true icon of our time and V Magazine loves everything that she represents, including her new album which lands in about a week! Bruce Weber has captured her classic beauty as well as her fierce onstage persona.”
She had this to say about her alter ego:
“When I’m onstage,” says Beyonce of Sasha, “I’m aggressive and strong and not afraid of my sexuality. The tone of my voice gets different, and I’m fearless. I’m just a different person. It’s a way for me to differentiate what I do onstage from who I really am. It’s a way for me to not lose myself, to keep my life in perspective, because it’s really hard sometimes to stay on Earth when you’re a celebrity.”
She rambled on:
“It’s funny because right before the show I’m under the stage making sure my double-stick is in the right place, my pack is turned on, and my shoes have the stickies on the bottom so I don’t slip—all of these things that are so not glamorous. Then I take my last sip of water, clear my throat, close my eyes, and tell myself, You are fierce. You are fierce. You are fierce! And the second I take that first step and hear that crowd, I kind of transform. By the time I get up to the stage, I’m in the zone. I don’t feel anything anymore. Like if I’m in pain or if I’m nervous it kind of becomes, I don’t know how to describe it, I become that other thing. It’s like I’m ready for war.”
So she says, although I really do think that she is a bit over the top about this alter ego/publicity stunt character/charade. She is a very talented and hard working performer, but let’s face it, if people in general started going on about having alter egos, most would suggest they get evaluated by a shrink!
Sean “Diddy” Combs strikes a pose with his twin girls, D’Lila Star and Jessie James for the October cover of L’Uomo Vogue’s music issue. His daughters will turn 2 years old in December and they are adorable. The man has his own fashion line. Why didn’t he design something for his baby girls to wear other than bow ties? What look did he think he was going for here? Generally speaking, nakedness donning just a bowtie = SEXY photo. Baby girls don’t wear bow ties. The whole premise behind this photo is for it to say “Sexy” which is not appropriate with babies. If he wanted to convey “Dads can be sexy too” … he missed the mark in my opinion.
Diddy sat down to be interviewed for the cover story and he shared his thoughts about the upcoming presidential election, and how important it is to vote. He also chats about his many successful businesses and the evolution of inspiration in creating music.
Diddy said:
“The concept of ‘Black on Black’ in this story represents a level of strength, a level of beauty, a level of sexy and chic that I really want to portray. It’s the future. And it’s not just a race thing; it’s almost a redefinition of the color. Think about how ignorant people actually make the color black represent something negative. Black is so beautiful, I see it in everything I am, as a person, as a man, as a fashion professional. Black is beautiful.”
I’m just wondering why his other child isn’t on the cover?
Here is the cover of the November issue of Marie Claire (via NYDN)
Lindsay tells the magazine:
“At some point … I want to adopt a kid … A child in need or a newborn from another country. I’m not sure yet.”
I’m wondering if she is serious. I just don’t understand this baby trend going on in Hollywood that seems to be spilling over into the rest of America.
Could someone, anyone explain to Lindsay that she is not even 2 years past being coked out and crazy! She should wait at least 5 years before she starts thinking of adopting a child… if ever. With as messed-up a family as she has, and with her celebrity status, what kind of life is that for a child?
She doesn’t strike me as the motherly type… do they do criminal background checks on prospective adoptive parents?!
