Jessica Simpson Goes Pantsless and Talks Eric, the Proposal, and More in New York Magazine

Lauren Turner — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:09:51 PST

Jessica Simpson donned a huge blond wig and a draped denim jacket for the cover of this week's New York Magazine. She posed pantsless for photographer Ruven Afanador in its Spring fashion issue and opened up to Amy Larocca for the interview. Jessica's been hard at work on her Jessica Simpson Collection, and with the brand poised to make $1 billion in sales this year, she talked about her success in the industry. She also recounted first meeting fiancé Eric Johnson and recalled the moment he proposed. Here's more:

On first meeting Eric: "Was it love at first sight? No. I don't know if I believe in that. But it was definitely I could love this man. And maybe I already do."
On the proposal: "It was a complete shock, a beautiful shock. It felt great for somebody to be on his knee, and I had to sit on that knee because I was so excited and overwhelmed I couldn't even stand. Knowing that I had his knee to sit on in that moment was very magical. The way I always wanted it to be."
On following the "Artist's Way": "My fiancé taught me that. He'll get up in the morning and just write, so nothing blocks his emotional life. It doesn't even have to be in sentence form; he just gets everything out, and that way he can function without getting in the way of himself, without being aggressive or judgmental. We do that together. Sometimes he takes that hour just reading, we'll get out of bed and just read aloud to each other. He has so many books. Like, just books and books and books and books."
On designing for all ages: "I can fill all different kinds of genres in fashion, music, TV, film, personality. I just relate to all of it. So we reach out to all ages. Like just the other day my nana asked for a pair of jeggings because we sent her a pair of boots that went up to her knee, and she was like, 'For this I think I need a pair of jeggings.'"

Ryan Gosling Heats Up a Cold Winter Monday With a Steamy New York Mag Cover

Lauren Turner — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 13:30:00 PST

Ryan Gosling gives a serious stare on the cover of New York Magazine this week. He keeps the hotness coming in a spread shot by Art Streiber, in which he plays the ukulele like his romantic character in Blue Valentine. Ryan's been promoting the film, in theaters Dec. 31, with his costar Michelle Williams, though he's currently sharing the screen with Kirsten Dunst in the recently released All Good Things. Both of his leading ladies talked to the magazine about starring with Ryan, and he opened up about his work, Hollywood standards, and more:

On Blue Valentine: “The film is like that Supremes song ‘Where Did Our Love Go.’ It’s a mystery and you in the audience are the detective because the characters in the movie are too close to it - they’re not able to see what went wrong, what happened. They still love each other, but they’re not in love: Why?”
On staying in the moment: “I know it sounds dramatic, but every movie I make is the first and last. It’s important for me to think that the things you’ve made, they’re in the past. It’s what you’re making now that matters.”
On Hollywood standards: “Some of us are tired of all the sissies in this town, the ones who go along, flow with the flow, line up where they’re told to line up at. The studios want you to make the same movie over and over again - if that’s the movie they liked, that’s the movie you should keep making.”
Michelle Williams on working with Ryan: “You’ve got to fight dirty, you’ve got to bite his ear, because if I tried to match his energy and speed, I would never win. With all that capacity, Ryan could be a steamroller. I know guys like that, and they take up all the air. I thought, I’m timid and I’m not going to be able to breathe. But within minutes I knew how wrong I had been. He’s incredibly sensitive and generous and will do anything to help you.”
Kirsten Dunst on Ryan: “Ryan is kind and adorable, yet also really dark and weird and manipulative. Everything you’d want in an actor.”

Are Vegetables the New Meat?

Susannah Chen — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 12:50:43 PST

The idea that vegetables should be the star of a meal over perennially-championed animal protein has been a long time coming. It's something we've suspected would happen ever since we learned about non-vegetarian chef Jeremy Fox's vegetable-driven cuisine at Ubuntu.

Today, in "Vegetables Are the New Meat," New York Magazine discusses the vegesplosion, even going so far as to coin the term "vegivore" to describe non-vegetarian eaters who possess "fervent vegetable love rather than ardent meat hate."

I'm the perfect case study: a diner who enjoys eating meat, but can't stop extolling the vegetable. After all, there's nothing more stunning than a savory tomato tart or marinated baby vegetables. Are you a vegivore, too?

Well Said: Katie Holmes on Media's Scrutiny of Her Marriage

"It’s there, it’s one of those things. My big concern is what does he have going, what do I have going, what are we going to do this weekend. It must seem weird, I guess, having so many people watching. It is weird. I get it. But you just, you know, smile and nod.

- Katie Holmes graces the cover of this week's New York magazine. Inside she talks about Suri's fashion sense, balancing schedules with Tom Cruise, and the public's never-ending fascination with her marriage.

Katie Holmes Talks Fashion, Marriage, and Suri in New York Magazine

PopSugar — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 09:15:00 PDT

Katie Holmes is on the cover of this week's New York Magazine chatting all about her Holmes and Yang clothing line ahead of the upcoming Fashion Week. The working mom has been busy shooting The Kennedys, but she's also going into promotional mode as the release date for her The Romantics nears. Conversation touched on Katie's roles, but things progressed to talking about her well-dressed daughter Suri and life with Tom Cruise. Katie said:

On Suri being into clothes: "I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up. And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, 'I want this sleeve cut,' and it's like, 'Okay, we'll cut it.' She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was 1½. Tom and I went to the Met ball a couple of years ago, and I had this beautiful red gown and these royal-blue shoes that I wasn’t planning on wearing, but Suri made me put them on and so I was like, 'Okay, I trust you.'"
On balancing her schedule with Tom's: "We have quite a schedule, you know? We don't say, 'When I'm working, you don't work,' or anything like that. Last year he was shooting Knight and Day and I was shooting The Romantics, and we'd just fly to see each other after we wrapped. And we homeschool Suri - she has a teacher who is with her every day. We like the one-on-one education. I'm happy that my daughter is strong-willed and determined. You really have to go with what the child is wanting."
On dealing with all the interest in their marriage: "It's there, it's one of those things. My big concern is what does he have going, what do I have going, what are we going to do this weekend. It must seem weird, I guess, having so many people watching. It is weird. I get it. But you just, you know, smile and nod."

To see what Katie has to say on working with Tom, Suri getting older, and playing Jackie Kennedy, just

On working with Tom: "Well, we do collaborate on everything at home. But I mean, he's Tom Cruise! His body of work is incredible. Every movie he's done has done really well. I look back, and everything's a classic. I definitely come home and say to him, 'So, imagine a scene . . . how would you play it?' And he's helpful and sweet and gracious. He's quite an incredible human being."
On Suri growing up: "Her first set was Lions for Lambs, when she was 9 months old, and now she's 4 and she's so creative and she's so bright and so special. Whatever she wants to do, I know she's going to be amazing at it. I've already started my applause, and I will be applauding for the rest of my life."
On playing Jackie Kennedy: "I'm just focused on creating a character as much as possible without knowing what was going on behind closed doors. In my own life, it's just something that's there. We luckily have security so I can focus on motherhood and work and other things."

Loving Children and the Act of Parenting Are Not the Same

babysugar — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:00:57 PDT

Is there a difference between someone who is good at parenting and a good parent? The cover story of this week's New York Magazine takes an in-depth look at recent research showing that the addition of children can negatively impact a parent's happiness and attempts to answer the question of why.

Titled I Love My Kids. I Hate My Life, the feature suggests that mothers have more choices than ever before and with that comes expectations – both real and perceived – that parents must be perfect in all aspects of their life. This added stress impacts the way women view their relationships with their spouse and their children. The author concludes, "Loving one’s children and loving the act of parenting are not the same thing."

Do you think the two must go hand in hand?

Perfect Pair: Tracy Morgan and Betty White on New York Mag

BuzzSugar — Wed, 19 May 2010 10:00:00 PDT

In a move that can only be called pure comedic genius, New York Magazine has joined 30 Rock's Tracy Morgan and Saturday Night Live hot commodity Betty White for the cover of its latest issue, doing a Freaky Friday-style swap (gotta love Morgan in White's old lady house dress!). But the real kicker is the title, "Was It Good For You?" Bawdy, just like White. Check it out in all its glory when you
