"Well, it wasn't like we didn't know what we were doing. There were no ovulation kits involved. We were tempting fate, and it worked."
— In her InStyle cover interview, Kate Hudson alludes to the fact that she and boyfriend Matthew Bellamy weren't exactly having protected sex when she got pregnant. Kate, who turns 32 today, says she didn't think she'd have another kid until 33, but she and Matthew "were so in love when it happened."
Tired of saccharine Taylor Swift? Meet the young, blond opposite of sweet Swift, 23-year-old Evan Rachel Wood, who opened up to Esquire about what attracted her to ex-fiancé Marilyn Manson, her bisexuality, and her inked body parts. Here are five things you may not have known about this fair-skinned actress:
In her interview with the Telegraph, 64-year-old Diane von Furstenberg explains the motivation for her iconic wrap dress design, shares her recommendation for Kate Middleton's wedding gown designer, and opens up about her thoughts on plastic surgery.
On her quote from the '80s about designing the wrap dress without zippers for quietly leaving a sleeping man: "Haven't you ever tried to creep out of the room unnoticed the following morning? I've done that many times."
On Kate Middleton: "I think she should go for Alexander McQueen. But you know what? She reminds me more and more of Diana. Everything about her. I think she's there to avenge Diana's memory — that's clearly what William wants. Giving Kate his mother's ring was a great gesture, and I think that theirs will be a happy version of his parents' marriage. But he absolutely chose a woman who was like his mother — that was deliberate."
On utilizing her sexuality in the workplace: "I had good legs and I loved showing them off. Yes, I used the aspects of being a woman to my advantage, but I worked for myself, not a big corporation, so I was lucky to have the freedom to behave however I liked."
On plastic surgery: "Sometimes I think that we've regressed . . . All these women with fake breasts and cosmetic surgery — all that just objectifies us again . . . But I think the pendulum will swing back the other way. The whole point about beauty is its imperfection."
Some may argue that exploiting Governor Palin and her family helped bring attention to my low-rated TV show. I am proud to say you are wrong. My TV show still enjoys very low ratings. In fact, I think the Palin stuff may have hurt the TV show. Let's face it, between Alec Baldwin and me there is a certain fifty percent of the population who think we are pinko Commie monsters.
— In this excerpt from her new book, Bossypants, Tina Fey considers why her Sarah Palin impersonation may have hurt 30 Rock's chances in the ratings. It did, however, win her an Emmy. Does this mean she's not bringing it back if Palin runs in 2012?
"Study hard, but party harder."
— Snooki offered her wisdom to students at New Jersey's Rutgers University. The school paid her $32,000 for the appearance, which included teaching the coeds how to fist pump and judging students' abs in a "Situation Contest."
"I recognized the psalmist gift in her performance. Yet she sang out, 'I kissed a girl, and I liked it,' while thousands joined her. One part of my heart soared . . . the other part broke for the thousands of hungry souls being fed something that didn't nourish their spirit, but fed their flesh."
— Katy Perry's mother, preacher Mary Perry Hudson, writes a lamentation of her daughter's modern pop success. She's reportedly shopping a memoir about how her daughter's risqué career has impacted her ministry. Russell Brand, whom she apparently once called Katy's "foul-mouthed fiancé," should also give her lots of material.
"Even though I am a little brat . . . 33 girls in two months seems like too much even for a 30-year-old."
— Without compromising his virile reputation, little brat and Italian prime minister Berlusconi argues that he's just too old (74) to have that much sex. He's facing allegations that he had sex with 33 women, including an underage prostitute, at his villa where "bunga bunga" parties were held. As for details involving erotic dancing that turned sexual, Berlusconi said: "The girls were just shaking a leg in the disco — alone, as I've never liked dancing."
"Yes, if I was offered a Victoria's Secret contract. You'd have to, wouldn't you? I can't imagine doing it any other way. But, at this point I'm comfortable with who I am now."
— Androgynous model Andrej Pejic told reporters at Paris Fashion Week that he'd consider getting a sex change for the rare honor of a Victoria's Secret contract. Considering he's already walking in shows like Jean Paul Gaultier, he might not have to.
"She's like a fairy princess. There's a brand of red-velvet cake, her mouth is made of that. She smashes you in the mouth [in] those kissing scenes. If I was Ben Affleck, man I'd be pissed off."
— As the whimsical playboy in the Arthur remake, Russell Brand gets around. After kissing Jennifer Garner for the movie, he told MTV's Next Movie her kisses are sweet confections. I think Ben Affleck would take it as a compliment, but I don't know about Katy Perry?
"Anybody who has made a home sex tape knows what feels best doesn't always look best. I remember when I was 19 doing that, and then watching it back and thinking, 'Oh, that looks horrible.' So you have a lot of respect for those actors in pornography, because they are really not just doing it, they're really selling it!"
— Oscar-nominated actor James Franco says he respects the acting of porn stars. He also reveals that in addition to soap opera star, Oscar host, drag queen, and grad student, he can add sex tape star to his résumé.
