Amelia star, Hilary Swank, is on the November 2009 issue of Marie Claire magazine. In her interview, Hilary opens up about nudity, ideal movie roles, how she relaxes, divorce, and friendships.

On walking around nude in front of her boyfriend’s 6-year-old son:“You wonder at what age you should stop walking around nude,” says the Amelia actress, now 35. “But he doesn’t look twice. He doesn’t think about it yet.”

Two Oscars Must Get You Any Role You Want? “So not true. I really chase the things that I want. I don’t audition anymore, but I do go after things that I believe in. Someone will say, ‘Oh, I don’t see Hilary in that role because she’s not really that funny to me.’ So I’ll say that I want to sit down with them so that they meet the real person behind the characters. I usually get roles that are not the conventional beauty.”

How Does Hilary Relax? “My relaxation has always been my animals—going to the dog park with them, going to the beach. I always try to carve out time in my day to be with them. On the last set I was on, I would just get a bike and ride around the studio with my dogs chasing me. It just gets me out of my head, you know what I mean?”

Hilary On Divorce & Friendship: “For a long time, I was a loner because [my ex-husband Chad Lowe] was my best friend, and we were really happy just hanging out, he and I. I think it was maybe five years ago that I realized how important my friends were to me, and I realized they were a big part of my letting go. When I got divorced three years ago, I needed them more than ever. I have really good girlfriends. Mariska Hargitay is my best friend.”

Whip It stars Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page look super cute on the cover of  Marie Claire’s October 2009 issue. In their interview the BFF’s talk about their new movie and what it was like working with each other.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

Drew on wanting to take the directing plunge:

“Since I was 6 years old. That’s when I turned in my first script to my godfather. [That would be Steven Spielberg, folks.] He called itTerms of Endrewment—ironically, like Whip It, it was also about a mother-daughter relationship. Subjects like finding your tribe, becoming your own hero, and mother-daughter stuff are what my whole life has been about, so I really understood the strained relationship inWhip It between Bliss and her mom [Marcia Gay Harden]. I think there’s a tremendous amount of guilt that goes on between mothers and daughters, no matter how good or bad their relationships are. It kills girls inside when they think they’re letting their mothers down.”

Ellen on what she got her in the skating rink:

“I was at Sundance with a much freakier film, An American Crime. And one of our producers said, “Oh, I want to talk to you about this movie about Roller Derbys, but you’re probably not going to want to do it because you only like dark material.” And I’m like, “Who the fuck told you that?”

“People who never played a sport in their life do this! I grew up playing sports, but now I feel like I can’t, because if I get injured, I’ll impair whatever film I’m working on.”

On icing each other down after training:

EP: I’d ice-skated before, because I’m Canadian and that’s what you do as a kid, but I’d never, ever been on quad skates. So I trained for three months with a derby trainer. I actually never got badly injured—I’m tough as frickin’ nails.

DB: When I trained for the Charlie’s Angels movies, at night I’d be in Cameron’s bathtub with Epsom salts, just battered, with my leg stuck out to here. And there were days where we’d be like, “How the fuck can we play hooky? I want to go shopping. I don’t want to train anymore.”

On the chemistry between the two girls:

EP: I first met Drew at the Chateau Marmont. And it was a surreal moment for me in my life. You could just feel her warmth and kindness immediately, and the way she carried herself was just so grounded. So then it was like, “Oh, this is going to be great.” And then it went into, “Oh, my God, I’m really crazy about this person.” It just grew and grew and grew and grew and grew.

DB: We didn’t know each other at first, but there was no other person I was going to make the movie with.

On whether or not being besties with the boss was a blessing or curse:

DB: I’m not the boss. That’s why I put myself on the team in the film. Because I don’t want to be sitting on the sidelines as the director going, “I know you’re hurling yourself around that track at 60 miles per hour—don’t worry! Just get in there and do it!” I wanted to understand the pain that comes from falling, the fear of the brain telling you Don’t do this, don’t do this, but the body forcing you to. It was so important for me to be in their skates, pun intended. And when Ellen and I had conflicts, that only deepened our friendship more, because we cared. That’s what real friendship is. It’s not niceties. It’s like, we’re in the trenches together, we’re having a rough day, we’re going to get through it—let’s fucking go!

EP: I know this is a cheesy thing to say, but it was magic. And seeing how Drew has established community and friends, L.A. has become … well, I like being in L.A. now. I’m so grateful to this girl. I love her.

Ashley Olsen is in the new September 2009 issue of Marie Claire magazine spilling her secrets about fashion and her sense of style she shares with sister, Mary-Kate.

On having style: “Mary-Kate and I are very aware of trends and style, but at the end of the day, we don’t even think twice about it. It’s just, What do I feel like wearing today, and how do I want to put it together?”

“I think you’re either born with a sense of style of you’re not. Either you care or you don’t. And we love fashion. When we were going to NYU, I think that was the first time we were aware of the power of our personal style. Not the power of it, but the result of it.”

On her sense of style: “Between the big sunglasses and the Starbucks cup and the big sweaters, the hobo-chic thing, we were more shocked than anything. I get it; we were fortunate enough to have really nice clothes, and we put them together in this raggedy way. My mom wears glasses this big”—she mimes massive goggles—”from the ’70s, and you wonder where we got it from? The dark eyeliner, the scarf around the head—it’s just so interesting and natural.” Her family, she says, was “very bohemian.”

On her old taste in fashion: “I look back at the things that we did and the clothes that we wore, and I think, Wow, we really were troupers.”

On her past daily regimen: “It was almost like I was in the army,” Ashley says. “School, work, homework, fly to New York, get in at 2 in the morning, do a morning show at 5 a.m., then another one at 7, then a radio interview at 10, you know?”

“That’s why I look at Britney, and I’m surprised I didn’t end up like her.”

On altering beautiful, expensive designer outfits to fit her petite body: “The amount of beautiful things we’ve ruined—not having the patience for a tailor and cutting everything ourselves … My sister once took an Alaïa dress of mine and just cut the whole thing, and then she was like, ‘I cut it too short.’”

“Mary-Kate and I don’t think about fashion as these clean, beautiful objects. We just kind of wear it and live in it”

On her new obsession-Wii’s Rock Band: “I swear to you, it’s brought out this whole new thing in me. I can be a very serious person, and I take my job very seriously, but at the end of the day, I need a break.”

Fergie takes the August 2009 cover of Marie Claire, on stands now!

In the interview she talks about her new hair color, how she stays peaceful and calm while on tour, her new hubby Josh Duhamel, her album the Dutchess, and staying fit. Here are some interview highlights:

On dying her hair a warm chocolate brown:
“It felt like it was time to evolve,” she says, sharing a park bench with a snorting pug. “I’ve always been blonde, but it’s a new time in my life. Plus, this album gave me more of a nighttime feel, and I wanted to explore that.”

On helpful diversions she uses to stay peaceful when she tours:
“I just put on music, get her on speakerphone, and lay back. Balance is something I’ll always work on.” Out-of-town visitors provide helpful diversions, too. “Well, my boyfriend …” Fergie starts, referring, presumably, to her swoony new husband, Transformers star Josh Duhamel. “Oh my gosh, my boyfriend? I didn’t even say my fiancé! He’s going to kill me,” she says, doubling over with laughter. “I told you we were newlyweds.”

On spending time with her new hubby:
“We order room service and watch our shows,” she says. “We love The Daily Show. That’s our go-to, before we go to bed—gotta get our Jon Stewart on,” she says. “And I love crying at romantic movies like The Notebook. I’m always bawling. Josh is always laughing at me.” At home, she says, “I’ll lie out by the pool, and Josh hits golf balls to Zoe as we listen to music. In the evening, we’ll order Indian or Chinese, turn on the fire pit, and talk about old times—he might tell me what he was doing back in North Dakota when some Phil Collins song came out. We’re pretty chill.” As for the diaper-wearing elephant in the room, kids, Fergie tells me the couple definitely wants them—”just not during this tour.”

On her album the Dutchess:
“I wasn’t trying to be a role model with The Dutchess,” she says, of the stacked-heel seductress she evokes on the album. “But suddenly, seeing little girls in the audience with their moms made me think about what I do onstage a little bit more. I had to watch my mouth, because it can be filthy. It changed things for me.” So did learning that “Fergalicious” is Sasha Obama’s favorite song. When Fergie performed at this year’s White House Easter egg hunt, even the president told her, somewhat surreally, “I can relate to the line ‘working on my fitness.’”

On working out and going to the gym:
“I’ve been busting my ass, training,” she says, referring to the 17 pounds she gained (and then peeled off) for her role as Saraghina, a buxom prostitute in Rob Marshall’s razzmatazzy big-screen spectacle Nine, which premieres this November. “Being around the guys, they’re like a fraternity—I know what they look at. I don’t want to have a song like ‘My Humps’ and it be sagging down, so I pay attention to that area. A lot.”

Cameron Diaz opens up in the July 2009 issue of Marie Claire about recent plastic surgery, on wanting a bigger butt, sexy girls, and wanting to save the planet.

On her recent noes job, this is her fourth time breaking it:

“S–t just finds my face—it’s crazy.”

As for more plastic surgery, Cam’s not into it however she would like a bigger butt:

I’d love a bigger butt, more meat on my bones,” she says. “I’d love to be more voluptuous. It’s just not my body type.”

Cam discusses the wild girl type that took over our lives pre-Robsten:

“I like sexy girls; I like slutty girls. But sometimes I go”—she mimes a yawn—”if that’s all there is.”

On her mission to bring attention to the environment:

“The planet needs a publicist,” she tells the magazine. “I had this cartoon in my head a couple of years ago when Paris Hilton was going to jail and Britney Spears was falling apart. There’s a woman at a desk talking to planet Earth, and she’s like, ‘I’m going to make you a star!’ And it says, ‘But I’m a planet.’ And she’s like, ‘No, I can tell, you’re going to be bigger than Paris and Britney. When I’m done with you, everyone’s going to know who you are!’ ”

But let’s get real: “It’s the planet, you know what I mean? She should be the one—she should be a star. How do we make this little planet of ours a big star? I want everybody to know who she is.”

Kate Bosworth appears on the April 2008 cover of Marie Claire. The 21 star dishes on getting older, her love life, her beer guzzling party girl side, and practical joke playing.

On getting older and older:

“I just turned 25, which was a weird one. I feel like I had this quarter-century crisis. Whenever I said before that I was 21 or 22, everyone would say, ‘Oh, see, you’re so young.’ And all of a sudden, you hit 25, and people say, “Oh, right, uh, OK.’ And you’re like, ‘Uh, what do you mean?”

On her love life:

“Orlando [Bloom] and I were both in the public eye. So this relationship [with model James Rousseau] has been a little easier that way. And I feel like I’m in a different stage of my life, to be honest. With Orlando, we were younger.”

21 costar Josh Gad on Kate:

“Kate Bosworth can drink anyone under the table. Get a couple in her, and she’s definitely a very fun and crazy girl. We went out to a pub on St. Patrick’s Day. Not only did she pick the place, but she picked the rowdiest place, where everybody and their mother came. And it’s like, ‘OK, she’s one of us! Let’s get shit-faced!’ But Kate is always one step ahead of you. She had a blast, and everybody was just enamored of the fact that there’s a superstar singing and dancing and going nuts. But she was also the first one to be like, ‘OK, I’m out of here.”

21 producer Dana Brunetti on Kate’s practical jokes:
“I was at lunch. And some of the makeup artists, her mother and she were at the table across from us. They kept screwing around — whispering to each other, looking at me. I knew they were trying to f*** with me. Then Kate came over and was leaning over my table. I really wasn’t paying attention to her. And she kept saying, ‘Dana look, Dana look, Dana, hey Dana.’ So I turned around, and I’m like, ‘What?’ And she’s like, ‘Look.’ Her nipple was sticking out her shirt right in my face.”

Here are the first pictures of Christina Aguilera and her new son Max in People magazine. They are so adorable. Christina looks like she will be a really good mom.

Check out baby Max’s nursary on the cover. He’s livin’ it up in that room.

Jessica Alba is on the March 2008 issue of Marie Claire magazine.

In this issue she discusses how she was unpopular in school:

“When I was a little girl, I always wanted someone to look up to. I think identity was a big deal to me because I didn’t fit in with one certain race. I always wanted someone who looked like me, who was a positive role model.”

“I had a lot of haters. They’d unzip my backpack so my books would fall out. They’d tie my shoes together. They’d ‘accidentally’ spill lunches on me.”

Alba also talks about her involvement in the Step Up Women’s Network, a national women’s and girl’s empowerment organization, which she volunteers regularly for.

 ”I think these girls can relate to me, to the fact I didn’t have rich parents or any nepotism working in my favor.” Her father was in the military, moving the family from Mississippi to Texas before settling them in Laverne, CA. Alba is Mexican on her father’s side, and Danish and French on her mother’s. “I don’t fit in with one race,” she says.

And although Alba admits that her life is not exactly were she would like to be she knows her problems can’t begin to compare with those of the girls from low-income, high-density neighborhoods, the girls who sometimes have babies to cure their loneliness.

“They aren’t ready to be mothers,” Alba says. “There’s no more ‘you’ after having a kid, but they’re too young to understand that. They see the world in their 10-minute reality. They don’t see the big picture because you can’t have that kind of perspective when you’re that young.”

 A week from now, Alba will announce her own pregnancy.

Alba discusses what she likes least about her job:

“There’s a lot of pressure on women to fulfill certain fantasies. They expect you to be a little bit of a tart, to flirt with all the men. A lot of women do it. But I’m not doing that. I talk with these guys about their wives and kids right away. When they say inappropriate things, I let them, because boys will be boys, but I’m not looking to participate in their conversations.”

Three weeks after giving birth, Christina Aguilera gave her first post-baby interview this morning to Ryan Seacrest on KIISFm.

She admits that she is going “stir crazy” looking after her “stinky” son Max.

She says that he is giving her great inspiration for her next album.”This whole incredible thing that’s taken part in my life, between the pregnancy and the birth, I’ve got so much to be inspired about and so much in my life to write about.I’ve been brain-storming for the last nine months, actually. This next album will have a whole new me, so there’s a lot to look forward to.”

She said Max was “doing amazing”. “He’s so incredible, it’s an unbelievable thing,” she said.

“It’s still the first couple of weeks, every week something new happens. It’s constant changing and he’s constantly changing and doing these incredibly cute things – and stinky things.”

She says another new thing for her is living with Jewish traditions with husband Jordan Bratman – including Max getting circumcised at his bris. “He did have a bris. It was a very sweet experience. We had close friends over to experience the bris with us.”

“We’re such a non-conventional couple we had penis balloons everywhere celebrating.”

She admits to being lucky compared to many other new parents. “I’ve a lot of great help around me. My mother-in-law gives a lot of great advice,” she said.

She also admitted Jordan is much more organized than she is. “My husband is the person who has all the questions [for the doctors], I’ll forget half of them by the time we get in there. He’s really good at staying on top of all the doctors’ stuff.”

She admitts that Paris Hilton did spill the beans about her pregnancy at a Hollywood club before she was ready to tell the world.

“People thought I was trying to keep it this big bad secret for so long. But really I just didn’t wan’t to address it at all. It really wasn’t this big sort of deal.

“Paris did kind of jump the gun a little on it, so she became the official announcer at a club appearance.”

“It was funny. I laughed about it. I was a group of friends ad we all looked at each other a little surprised but we laughed it off. It was actually cute, she did it in a very sweet way so it wasn’t in a kind of tattle-on-you kind of thing.”

Her first interview was to promote a new live DVD. She says she finds it strange watching the shows as she was already three months pregnant. “It’s so weir to watch the DVD back and know that I was pregnant with this little guy,” she said.

The girl can sing and sell records and tickets but unfortunatly she can’t sell magazines.

MSNBC has reported that we won’t be seeing Christina Aguilera with newborn son Max on the cover of OK! magazine as planned because she wants more money than they are willing to pay her. “Christina has an inflated sense of her own value and seems to expect an extortionate amount of money for these baby pictures,” says a MSNBC source.

They saw how poorly her wedding OK! cover and her Marie Claire pregnancy cover did and decided that they were not going to risk losing money again.

And if you think that’s bad, it gets worse:

Says MSNBC: “I’m not sure OK! or much of the industry thinks is a dollar figure that’s worth it. … She hasn’t proven to be a real seller.”
“According to a person familiar with Aguilera’s contract, the terms include a promise that a magazine that buys the Aguilera baby photos may not run photos of Nicole Richie’s new baby. “Christina can’t stand Nicole,” said a source who knows Aguilera. “Nothing would make her more upset than to see those two babies on the same cover, even if it wasn’t at the same time.”

“An OK! spokesperson said, “We don’t comment on the details of potential editorial arrangements with any celebrities.”
