Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the principal stars of The Twilight Saga movie franchise, are featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine in order to promote their upcoming sequel film The Twilight Saga: New Moon. In their joint coverstory interview, K. Stew and R. Pattz talk at length … about each other. To be honest, it’s a cute read … here is their cover of HB mag and some excerpts from the coverstory article:

Rob Pattinson’s and Kristen Stewart’s rooms sit side by side on the thirtysomethingth floor of the Sheraton hotel in Vancouver (”the Couve,” as Kristen calls it), where they are filming Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight saga. They spend a lot of time in their rooms in the sky — two Rapunzels of sorts entertaining themselves behind closed doors — because it’s really, really hard to go out. “There are like 15 different exits in this place,” observes Kristen of the tactics she and the rest of the Twilight cast use to avoid the paparazzi. She adds, “Rob is more frustrated with it, but he’s 23 and I’m 19. He had a couple more years to be an adult and to be independent, whereas just as I was getting to the age when it’s normal to go out by yourself …” She pauses. “But it’s boring because this is all I fucking talk about.” Rob talks about it too. “Do you mind if we sit outside?” he asks as he stands in his hotel room, looking longingly out the window. “I need some air.” It’s a cold, gray day, but who is to deny him some freedom? (And chivalry is not dead, girls. A young man will still lend you his jacket. Maybe because he is British.) Rob doesn’t just face paparazzi, he gets clawing, shrieking girls too. New Yorkers may remember he was clipped by a cab while fleeing from the ladies on the set of Remember Me this past summer. “But at least that’s an experience, something new,” he says. “If it’s just screaming — and I know this sounds so ridiculous — that gets old. But sometimes when there’s literal chaos, it’s like being in a war zone, and that’s kind of exciting. You’re just running through the crowd of people chasing after you and no one knows what’s going on” … At the moment, there is only one thing anyone cares about regarding these two, who, as Twilight’s Bella and Edward, manifest all of our vampiric romance fetishes: Are they dating or what? Well … it’s clear that Rob and Kristen are close — very close. Okay, who is the most romantic then? “I have a no-bullshit detector,” says Kristen, “so I’d have to say Rob is. I think romance is anything honest. As long as it’s honest, it’s so disarming.” Rob chuckles when asked the same question. “Um, I don’t know. What did Kristen say?” You. “No. I’m better at faking.” This is followed by a very long laugh … Of the two, it seems Kristen wears the pants. (While she will admit to one girlish thing, a love of Chanel, her dream outfit is a custom Brooks Brothers suit.) When she ventures into a dress, it might just be covered in metal, like the Rock & Republic mini she wore to the Teen Choice Awards earlier this year. “Everyone was like, ‘Look at your spiky skirt!’” she says with a grin, “and I was like, ‘Spiky skirt? They were bullets, mofo!’” She gets some stick in the media for not suffering fools. “People think I’m trying to be rebellious, but that’s the last thing I’m doing,” she says. “But I would hate myself if I tried to satisfy the people who have a problem with the way I speak about myself, so it’s okay.” “Kristen doesn’t take any slack,” Rob says. “She sticks to her guns — and that’s difficult to do.” He also thinks she’s a better actor than he is. “I don’t really know how to act. I’m kind of guessing everything. … Even though I can conceptualize stuff, she can actually do it. I can make something so complex and then be like, That was pout 27.” He reckons she’s a better judge of character too. “She’ll decide on someone a lot quicker. She has a lot more self-esteem than I do, so she’s like, ‘You’re an idiot and I don’t want to talk to you,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m an idiot too!’ So I’ll talk to an idiot for like three days before deciding.”

The back and forth banter of this interview carries on from there. After the jump, checkout a few photos from Kristen and Rob’s Harper’s Bazaar photospread (the photos are pretty fantastic, I have to say) and read some more from their HB interview …

TV’s favorite ultra-chic bespeckled “geek” Tina Fey is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine … lookin’ very ultra-chic and far from geeky. In her coverstory interview, Fey talks about things as varied as botox, motherhood and Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw. Here is Tina’s fabulous coverphoto and some quotes from her coverstory interview:

On Botox: “You can point any kind of laser at my face, but I don’t think Botox is for me. I think it is bad,” she says. People with Botox “look like their faces are full of candles — a shiny, shiny face. Festive. A holiday candle.”

On her hair: “When I am not shooting, my hair looks like a Halloween wig.” She lapses into an impersonation of a hair stylist: “‘I hate to tell you this, but it’s because you are shooting all the time. You know those old actresses that are bald?’ And I shoot 200 days a year.”

Dude, Tina Fey is the coolest woman EVER!! I’m so happy that her show 30 Rock is doing so well critically because it deffo doesn’t have the ratings to ensure its survival. I’ve always been an Tina Fey fan but I think the whole world fell in love with her when she stepped into the persona of Sarah Palin during the ‘08 presidential campaign. She really strikes me as such a down-to-Earth person … I bet she’s very easy to like in real life, too. And hello … she is a beautiful woman! After the jump, see just how beautiful she is in the other photos from her Harper’s Bazaar photospread …

Janet Jackson is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine which features the worldwide exclusive first interview with Ms. Jackson since the death of her older brother Michael Jackson. Here is Janet’s Harper’s Bazaar coverphoto along with excerpts from her coverstory interview:

Janet Jackson hasn’t watched television since her brother Michael died suddenly in Los Angeles on June 25. She has blocked herself off completely from the hysterical media coverage of his death — who did it, what did it. “It will drive you crazy,” she says. “People can have rhinoceros skin, but there’s a point when something’s going to hurt you. Not everyone is stone, stone. I haven’t watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, How’s Obama doing? I haven’t read a newspaper. On top of that, [we've lost] a family member.” The last time Janet saw Michael was on May 14, two days before her 43rd birthday. It was a family celebration, the Jackson kids were running around, and she and her big brother hung out, ate Thai food, and tormented each other. “We had so much fun that day,” she says, her soft voice almost inaudible. “We kept calling each other after and saying how great it was.” Janet left soon after to start work on Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too. She was on set in Atlanta when she got the call that Michael had died. She immediately returned to L.A., plunging headlong into a private family grief served up to a ravenous public. Of course, one of the most moving images from the memorial service was of Michael’s daughter, Paris, who stepped up to the microphone and said, “Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine” before grabbing her aunt Janet for support. “I was really proud,” Janet recalls. “People said to me that Michael’s daughter speaking really gave them a sense of how he was as a father, in her words. Paris is incredibly smart; they are all so smart. She’s a sweet girl. The kids are doing well. They’re with all their cousins; that family love will keep them going.” After the service, Janet and sisters La Toya and Rebbie went to speak to the fans. Janet, who said a brief and quiet thank-you, was greeted with thunderous applause. “I don’t remember that at all,” she says. “I really didn’t want to say anything. I left that night to go back to Atlanta to film.”

It’s no secret that Janet and Michael were very, very close so I can only imagine how difficult his death has been for her. I imagine the ensuing media frenzy that erupted in the wake of MJ’s untimely and shocking death has made it difficult for her to grieve in private so it makes sense that she would want to plunge headlong into work to keep her head on straight.

Back in June we learned that a new celebrity sex tape had hit the Internets that featured Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and since then she has kept pretty quiet about the tape. But this month, Meester is featured on the cover and in the pages of Harper’s Bazaar magazine and she finally opens up about the embarrassing tape that has been making the rounds online for the past couple of months which, according to her, is “not real”. Here is Leighton’s Harper’s cover and a portion of her coverstory interview:

Leighton Meester understands that being on a buzzed-about show automatically puts her in the spotlight – but she doesn’t have to like it. “I don’t want most of what comes along with all of this,” says the Gossip Girl star in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, on newsstands Aug. 18. One particular downside of fame is a rumored sex tape of the star with an ex-boyfriend that has allegedly been shopped around. “[The tape] is not real, so it makes me sort of sad,” says the actress. “It’s unfortunate that it got carried as far as it did.” Meester says the rumor has taught her some lessons about life. “I definitely understand the nature of people better now and that the mere allegation of something like that could be headline news. People think it’s real because somebody says it is.” But the star has friends who watch out for her. “I feel like my friends are in a cult because we’re like, ‘No outsiders!’ ” she says. “I’ve never been crazy. I’m a very good girl, to be honest. I don’t do anything to hurt anybody. Honestly, all I ever do is work.” At work, costar Ed Westwick is one person who can vouch for Meester’s sweetness – and her natural good looks. “The first thing I thought when I met Leighton was … hell, this girl’s gorgeous. And she was incredibly sweet.”

I’m confused … how exactly is the explicit tape “not real”? If she means that it was prolly not filmed for public viewing then she’s most likely correct but to say that the sex tape she made with her then boyfriend is “not real” isn’t really accurate. Whatever the case may be, Leighton strikes me as the kind of woman who learns from her mistakes and I highly doubt she’ll ever get messed up in a sex tape scandal like this again (unlike, say, Vanessa Hudgens, who clearly didn’t learn her lesson the first time nekkid pics of her made their way to the Internets). Moving on, after the jump, check out photos of Leighton from this new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine where the mag (inexplicably) decided to age her in some of the photos …

The beautiful Halle Berry is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine lookin’ about as purdy as she ever has before. In her coverstory interview, Halle does a bit of promo for her new fragrance while she tells the magazine how wonderful her life has been since the birth of her daughter Nahla Ariela. Here is Halle’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine cover and a portion of her coverstory interview:

One doesn’t want to enter the Berry/Aubry residence in Los Angeles feeling less than fantastic. Because the image that greets you — by the pristine pool, past the vegetable garden, and under a blazing blue sky — could be detrimental to one’s self image. Halle, 42, and her partner, model Gabriel Aubry, who met on a Versace shoot in 2005, and baby Nahla are, to quote that great fashion sage Derek Zoolander, “really, really, really good-looking.” Gabriel, carrying Nahla, bids adieu, while Halle, relaxed in a long black jersey dress, retires to the art-filled pool house to talk

LB: Whose style do you like?
HB: Eva Mendes. She’s beautiful, and she’s sexy and hot, and I love her.

Halle Berry is a beautiful woman both inside and out … it’s hard not to like her. She really does come across as a likable person, who is both talented and savvy. I still don’t get why she’s is so uninterested in marrying her hot man Gabriel Aubry but she appears to be loving her life and living it to the fullest. You have to respect that. After the jump, check out a few photos from Halle’s Harper’s Bazaar photospread …

Scarlett Johansson is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new Valentine’s Day-themed February issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine lookin’ like a $100 bucks! In her HB coverstory, Scarlett reveals that she and hubby Ryan Reynolds are not planning on spawning anytime soon, talks about her engagement and then goes on to talk about career nonsense. Here is her Harper’s Bazaar coverphoto and a portion of her coverstory interview:

Now that Scarlett Johansson is married, are kids next? Probably not. “I’m not pregnant, and I’m not going to be anytime soon,” The Spirit star, 24, tells February’s Harper’s Bazaar. She says she gets a kick out of baby rumors. “I got these calls that I was engaged way before it happened. I’ve also been pregnant several times,” she says. “With, like, sextuplets. That must mean I’ve been eating way too many bagels or something.” Johansson also opens up about her engagement to actor Ryan Reynolds, whom she wed last September. “I wasn’t surprised that it was happening, but anyone being presented with a beautiful diamond ring, as a girl, you just squeal with delight,” she says. “You say you can’t believe it, but of course, you really can.” Despite getting hitched, she says has no plans to put her career on hold. “Every actor wants to work on a Western,” she says of her dream role. “I would run a brothel, like a madam or something. I’m working with what I got. It’s only so long that people are going to want to see me in a corset. So I might as well do it now.”

Man, kids born of the spunk of Ryan Reynolds would be hella cute … I can’t even imagine. I would love for the hawt Canuck to start making babies but I don’t think I mind that the couple are planning to wait a while before they get started on procreating. All in due time, I suppose.

Vicki B., who has been spending a bit of time in NYC after her recent quick trip to the UK, is back home in SoCal and is also featured on the cover of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine wherein she talks about (among other things) how she turns into the character of “Victoria Beckham“. HMMM … its’ not quite as ridic as Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce nonsense but it sorta has the same stink, no? Here is VB’s Bazaar mag cover and a portion of her coverstory interview:

Image is so important to Victoria Beckham that she has it down to a science. As for her lab, “It’s funny,” she tells January’s Harper’s Bazaar, on sale Dec. 16, “I go to the gym now.” Once there, “I run four miles a day,” says the “very disciplined” mom of three boys: Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6; and Cruz, 3. Then, “I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham.’ ” As for what that entails, “I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on the shades. I instantly turn into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it … But it’s a true character because it’s still me.” Most pictures parade her patented pout – dubbed her “Blue Steel” look – though she admits to lightening up: “I have started smiling … I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile.” But what hasn’t disappeared are her trademark high heels, though some have deemed them as impractical. “Oh, c’mon,” she insists, “they’re not that hard to walk in … They’re not uncomfortable! [But] you have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them.” As for how she dresses when the paparazzi are not following her, Beckham, 34, says, “I run around the house in a tracksuit sometimes.” Outside the house – where she likes to take walks with her family – is another matter. “If I go to the supermarket looking like shit, that affects my work. I am selling an image. Plus, I have fun with it,” she says. “I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood.”

LOL! Even tho I give the robotic-looking little sprite a bit of a hard time (all the time), I really do love her. VB is really fab and I don’t always make that very clear. Srsly … the “smile that isn’t a smile”?? Brills! Hahahaha! I love how she talks about going “to the supermarket” as if it were an everyday occurrence. That woman has NO NEED to ever set foot inside of a supermarket, period. After the jump, check out a few photos from VB’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine spread and check out a few pics of her arrival back in LA …
