Back in June we heard about a jewelry theft on the set of an Elle magazine photoshoot (were a reported $400,000. in jewels went missing) and at the time we heard that Lindsay Lohan, who wore the jewels in the photoshoot, was among those questioned in the disappearance. Dina Lohan, L. Lo’s mother and bastion of verity, went on the record to deny that her daughter had anything to do with the jewelry theft … Elle magazine issued a statement also exonerating Linds of the theft. Today we get to see the photos from that infamous Elle magazine photoshoot of Lindsay rockin’ all the jewels that, not long after she wore them, went missing:

Lindsay Lohan looks all temptress sex vixen in these pictures as she sparkles in front of the camera wearing blinging jewellery and over-the-knee boots. But this is the photoshoot where thieves stole £24,000 of Dior diamond jewellery including earrings and a necklace. The actress, 23, is wearing the bracelets and rings that they did not make away with. Despite the theft, the Mean Girls star still managed to shine in the photos wearing tiny hot pants and a figure-hugging bodice. Police are still investigating the jewellery theft from the studio in Islington, north London in June. A police spokesman said there have been no arrests and Elle magazine, which arranged the shoot, said they did not believe the actress was ‘in any way responsible’. Lindsay, who has dyed her hair peroxide blonde since the shoot, is rumoured to be ready to film Robert Rodriguez’s new film Machete, which is about to start shooting. He dropped huge hints to MTV.com, saying: ‘We’re casting right now, and the script just came out great. There are a lot of people we’re sending it to, big names – but nobody that we’ve signed yet.’ He added: ‘Lindsay’s cool. There’s actually a cool part in the movie for her – if she takes it.’ She told followers on Twitter the hair colour change was for a film role. Replying to one fan who told her ‘I miss your red hair – but you look beautiful as always’, she tweeted back, ‘it’s for a movie I miss it too… I begged (not to have it dyed). LOL.’

Damn, she looks so much better with her red hair (rather than that garish blonde job she just had done) … I can’t wait ’til she dyes it back. Regarding the stolen jewels, I don’t necessarily think that Lindsay had anything to do with the missing baubles … particularly because even if she did nick them, she’d never be able to wear them out in public. Besides, do we really think that Lindsay Lohan is wily enough to be a jewel thief? After the jump, check out a few more photos from this Elle magazine photospread …

Gwen Stefani, currently on tour with No Doubt after taking a few years away from the band, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine. Here is Gwen’s Elle cover along with a few excerpts from her coverstory interview:

On being a mother: “It’s one thing when you have an infant, but when you have this two-or three-year-old going, ‘Mommy, what’s the deal?’ it’s harder. Kingston’s whole thing is, ‘I need, I need.’ He is insane right now. We’re just hoping for the best and that he’s not going to turn out to be a freak, but we’ll see.”

On how her priorities changed from band to family: “I wasn’t even married. Now I’m a wife and a mother of two. It’s a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that’s what it’s like to be together for so long and go through what we’ve been through. I can’t really have that relationship with them anymore. My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That’s a huge, huge thing.”

Gwen really does keep things pretty normal … she goes out with her family, she does her thing, she lives her life. She is one of those very famous celebs that never seems to court attention and, yet, she never shies away from it when she gets it. I think it’s been pretty cool watching her mature into the woman she’s become. I remember when I first heard about No Doubt all those years ago … and seeing her now as a wife and a mother of 2, it’s pretty damn awesome that she’s managed to stay pretty much the same down chick she’s always been. After the jump, check out a photo of Gwen with her littlest child Zuma Nesta from her Elle mag photoshoot …

Ryan Reynolds, who can be seen in theaters now as Wade Wilson/Deadpool in the new film X-Men Origins: Wolverine and later on this year in the films Fireflies in the Garden with Julia Roberts, The Proposal with Sandra Bullock (and Betty White!!!) and Paper Man with Jeff Daniels, is featured in the new issue of Elle magazine wherein he talks about these movies and offers a tiny glimpse into his very private persona. Here is his Elle headshot and a portion of his interview with the mag:

He would never admit it, his manner is so self-deprecatingly Canadian, but there’s something about Ryan Reynolds that is superhuman. Last September, when no one was looking, he married Scarlett Johansson. Their wedding at a small eco-resort on Vancouver Island went off without even a whisper of warning on the gossip blogs. We never even saw a photo. For the past two years, he’s been keeping a work schedule that would make most mortals crumble. He filmed five movies back-toback, with three of them out in the next month. On an ordinary day, he makes Daniel Craig look like Seth Rogen, but to augment his chiseled frame for two new roles, he rose at 4 a.m. to hit the gym and stuck to a steady diet of “chicken and drywall.” It worked. Jeff Daniels costars with Reynolds in the upcoming Paper Man, in which Reynolds plays a 1950s-era superhero, complete with cape and unitard. “I’m looking at him, going, I’m not gay,” Daniels says. “But I’m thinking about it” … On a rare drizzly day in Santa Monica, Reynolds is driving us to lunch in his Prius … Scarlett is in Milan. They just got back from a two-week road trip through the American Southwest. They took the Prius and plugged it in overnight at each stop. As he’s finally off his training regimen, Reynolds gleefully explains, they used the book Road Food as their guide and stopped in tiny towns for authentic, high-calorie fare … Reynolds developed his Obama-caliber deflection techniques through experience. Johansson is not his first high-profile romance. He dated Alanis Morissette for four years; by 2004 they were engaged. Then Reynolds turned 30 and had an early midlife crisis. “I started to feel really reflective,” he says. “I really wanted absolute yesses in my life, as opposed to maybes.” He ended their relationship and set off with a friend for a head-clearing motorcycle ride across Australia. “We were hoping for Easy Rider,” Reynolds says, “but it was wet and awful, and he crashed. I had to double him on my bike to the next town. It looked like that scene in Dumb and Dumber where they’re clinging to each other on a scooter.” Meanwhile, Morissette aired her views on the breakup in her raw 2008 album Flavors of Entanglement … He has not signed on to any new projects yet, although Disney did buy a show he wrote about four brothers, based on the brothers Reynolds, that he’d like to direct. And rumor has it that by introducing Deadpool inside Wolverine, Fox is testing the waters for a Reynolds-Deadpool franchise. “It’s very easy to fall in line and do the same thing over and over again,” he says as we’re getting up from lunch. “You get rewarded for that greatly. But I’m not always jokey. I’m not a hysterical guy to sit and have lunch with all the time. I’m a moody bastard, too.”

Damn, I guess I never realized how much this guy works. He’s going to be in so many movies this year and might appear in a Deadpool franchise sometime in the future? When does he have time to enjoy being married to Scarlett Johansson? It’s easy to see why Ryan is getting cast in all of these movies … there is something very likable about him (despite his claims that he can be a “moody bastard”) and the fact that he’s got amazing abs prolly doesn’t hurt either. I’m really amazed at how low profile he manages to keep his life. You really don’t see him out and about often. I guess some guys really can have it all … a happy relationship, a great career and a semi-normal sounding life. Who knew?

Yesterday we got our first look at Megan Fox on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine and today we get to enjoy a bit more from the mag. Elle.com has yet to publish their full interview with Megan Fox but, in addition to offering a few more photos, they have posted a few questions and answers from her coverstory interview. Here is one of the newly released photos and her interview answers:

On getting down to 99 pounds while shooting Jennifer’s Body: “I decided I would turn myself into a zombie. I got super, super skinny, stayed out of the sun for four months, and got to where I was losing my eyelashes and my eyebrows.”

On misbehaving while growing up: “I was grounded for all my childhood. Not most–all. I wasn’t doing anything particularly crazy. I just never appreciated authority figures preaching to me.”

Still, these interview answers do not provide too much insight into Miss Fox but I’m hoping we’ll get more meat when the full interview is released. After the jump, check out two more photos of Megan from her Elle magazine photoshoot …

Transformers star Megan Fox, who is already appearing on the cover of the new issue of Esquire magazine, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine. Altho Elle has yet to publish their full interview with Miss Fox online, they have provided us with a few photos of check out. Here is Megan’s Elle mag coverphoto and a brief snippet from her coverstory interview:

On maturing early: “I’ve lived the life of a 35-year-old since I was 18. I’m so suspicious of boys-slash-men. I just don’t like them or trust them.”

On giving male writers an amped-up version of her past: “They’re boys; they’re easily toyed with. I tell stories and have them eating out of my hand.”

HMMM, she is really trying to push that vixen persona, ain’t she? But, you know, she’s young and vampy enough to pull it off … to a point. I’m curious to read more from this Elle interview. This snippet doesn’t really give us much so I’m hoping all the interesting bits are still to come. While we wait for her interview to hit the Internets, let’s check out a couple photos from her Elle magazine photospread …

Zac Efron is featured in the new issue of Elle magazine where he talks about things as varied as Leonardo DiCaprio and condoms from his mom … tho the two subjects are not necessarily related. You may recall that last December we saw a photo of Zac posing with a fan inside a store that sells adult products … well, his mom also so those pics and decided to lend a hand with his sexual awakening. Here are a couple of photos of Zac Efron making his way out of his humble abode yesterday morning, casually flipping his hair in the warm SoCal sunshine which kinda has nothing whatsoever to do with his Elle mag interview … but are fun to look at nonetheless:

On sitting next to Leonardo DiCaprio at a Lakers game: “We talked the whole game, and he was just everything I thought he would be: smart, levelheaded, charming, hilarious. You know, the older-brother vibe. That sounds so cheesy.”

On the photos taken of him and girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, in what appears to be a sex-toy shop and the Christmas present he received from his mother after the rumors hit: “My mom is like, ’Zac, what did you buy in a sex shop? ‘I was like, ‘Mom, calm down, it’s not a sex shop.’ She wouldn’t have any of it. She’s like ‘I knew you were being sexual!’ But she understood. My stocking was full of condoms this Christmas. She buys me the economy box.”

Aww, what a good mom. Whether or not Zac is actually doing the nasty with Vanessa Hudgens (I kinda smell a Jiley situation between Zanessa as well) I think it’s great that Mama Efron is advocating safe sex for her son. I wish more parents would do the same … for the health and safety of their kids. But I digress … flip that hair Zac! If that’s how you get that sexy hair look, then flip away!!

Reese Witherspoon is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Elle magazine. In her coverstory interview, the Elle interviewer tries to get Reese to talk a bit about her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal … but she doesn’t fall for it ;) Here is Reese’s coverphoto and a portion of her interview with the mag:

On her divorce: “Very humiliating and very isolating…But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions. When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think, Are they crazy? I’m never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I’m like, Nothings ever gonna make sense again.”

On being a young mother: “When I first had Ava, I couldn’t afford [help]. And it was so hard. I was out in Los Angeles, living [away from my family]. I really didn’t have any friends. And I had a baby. No one else who was 22 had a baby. I couldn’t go out.”

In all honesty, Reese really strikes me as a very sweet woman … one that is entirely wrong for Jake Gyllenhaal, but a sweet woman that I quite like. She deffo strikes me as one of the more genuine actresses in Hollywood. After the jump, check out another photo of Reese from this issue of Elle and read what little bit she has to say about her manfriend Jake Gyllenhaal …
