“There are some women you could put in underwear and photograph them, and it looks really classy and it doesn’t necessarily provoke a pinup image. But with me it does, immediately, as soon as I’m in underwear. I’m a Vargas girl.” the actress, dressed in Giorgio Armani attire and Yurman jewelry on the cover of W magazine, says of her Armani ads. “I feel intimidated by fashion. I hate doing photo shoots.”

Fox gained her fame from her work in the blockbuster movie franchise ‘Transformers’ and says her main weakness when acting is her nerves. “I have no confidence, and because of that I’m always second-guessing myself.”

As for the entertainment industry, Fox says she’s not very trusting. “I especially don’t trust girls in this industry, because it’s incredibly competitive, and I’m just not interested.”

The edgy actress graces the cover of the latest issue of W magazine, hitting newsstands February 23.

Less than a year after publishing the wildly popular ‘L.A. Candy’, the brainy beauty’s second young-adult novel, ‘Sweet Little Lies’, is No. 1 on the prestigious newspaper’s Children’s Chapter Books list for the week of February 21.

What’s next for the former ‘Hills’ stunner? Lauren and her team, Blue Eyed Girl, will executive-produce a movie based on her debut book!

“Each day the thought crosses my mind that when they get older, my kids are going to look back and think about how they were raised,” Gosselin told us.

“I know they will have a lot of questions about things that may not make sense because they were raised so unconventionally. I don’t want them to grow up and wonder; I want them to know without a shadow of a doubt how much I love them and how much every sacrifice made was worth it for them.”

The reality star and two-time New York Times bestseller is scheduled to release ‘I Just Want To Know: Letters To My Kids On Love, Faith And Family’ on April 23.

“I really wanted to go to college, and it all kind of happened at the same time,” she says about posing for “Gear” magazine, which freed her from her “7th Heaven” contract after the show’s fourth season. “I did this photo shoot. The photo shoot came out. It was terribly embarrassing. I had to apologize to everybody, including my parents. It was a big learning experience — learning how to have boundaries and how to say no.”
In Jessica’s candid interview with “Vogue” contributing editor Jonathan Van Meter, she also explains why she won’t discuss her relationship with beau Justin Timberlake, saying, “It’s the most precious thing I have in my life, and I care about it so much that I don’t care about what anyone says or thinks. … It’s mine. And I really like that about it.”
For her photo shoot, “Vogue” photographer Mario Testino captures two sides of Jessica, going for a bombshell retro look in an Oscar de la Renta gown and as a natural beauty in Ralph Lauren Collection overalls. The second shoot found Jessica keeping company with some wily farm animals, including a runaway tortoise and a rooster that couldn’t quite “hold it” while sitting on her shoulder!

“The more I focused on my weight, the worse my bulimia got,” she says of her past struggle with the eating disorder. “Now I’m more easygoing. I stopped fighting myself and became more forgiving of my body. Ironically, the weight came off naturally through exercise but no dieting.”
She says that she’s the healthiest she’s ever been.
“At my last physical, the nurse took my vitals and said, ‘Wow, you must be taking care of yourself! Your blood pressure is perfect. You’re very healthy,’” she says. “Hearing her say that made me feel better than seeing an ‘ideal’ number on the scale.”

The successful singer-songwriter also acts, has her own custom-made guitars, has a line of dolls and greeting cards, and now says she will come out with a book someday. According to OK! Magazine’s British mag, she has already written a 350-page novel and plans to write her autobiography someday.
“Years from now, it would be cool to write a book about all the crazy stuff and the insane things I’ve gotten to do,” she tells OK!. “My life moves so fast … I have to write it all down, otherwise, I can’t remember where I was yesterday. I will write my biography for sure.”
Between recording, performing concerts, songwriting, acting, and winning awards, we just wonder where she finds the time to write a novel!

This is Spark’s ninth No.1 best-seller and is based on a movie script the author wrote as a star vehicle for teen queen Miley Cyrus. She chose the name, “Ronnie,” for the main character.

The story centers on seventeen year old, Veronica “Ronnie” Miller. Her life turns upside-down when her parents get divorced and her father moves from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina.  Three years later, Ronnie remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father…until her mother decides it would be in everyones best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him.  Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms- first love and the love between parents and children, that demonstrate, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts…and heal them, as well.

This is the longest novel that Nicholas has written and well worth it.  The movie version comes to theaters this April.

For example:

On the “Outsiders” (1983) he wrote, “The climax of it all was the final rumble, where we just didn’t act out a massive gang fight. We really had a gang fight, with fists flying and blood running and guys pounding on each other…Our survival instincts kicked in, and we fought with a kind of primal fury.”

On “Dirty Dancing” (1987) he wrote, “I could hardly even bring myself to say, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” in front of the cameras, it just sounded so corny. But later, seeing the finished film, I had to admit it worked…I even quote a version of it myself these days, saying, “Nobody puts Patrick’s pancreas in a corner.”

On “Ghost” (1990) he wrote, “The best love scenes don’t require what I call “humpage”…You don’t really want to see the characters jumping each other’s bones. You want to see them looking intently into each other’s eyes. In an intimate, personal moment that conveys desire. That’s what I feel is sexy.”

This book is worth reading. You will appreciate his work a lot more.

She has no problem admitting that she has cellulite and struggles with her weight.  She thinks that every woman battles with the same things but they just don’t want to admit it.  She explained to Britain’s Heat magazine:  “Dude, every woman has cellulite, I don’t care who you are.  Any girl who tells you she doesn’t have cellulite is a frickin’ liar!”

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress is reportedly considering an offer of $900,000 to bare all for the adult publication, after initially rejecting a previous offer of $500,000 from the magazine.

A source told Australia’s The Day newspaper: “Playboy has been asking her for years, but it’s only now she’s excited about doing it.”

In addition to the naked shoot, Lindsay – who is dating DJ Samantha Ronson – has other ventures in the pipeline.

The 23-year-old star wants to take a break from acting to try her hand behind the camera.

She said: “I’ve been creating a bunch of shows that I’ve written treatments for and that I’m going to be producing – and that’s more interesting to me.”

However, Lindsay – who has previously had a guest role in US TV show ‘Ugly Betty’ – does have her eye on an acting role that would see her reunite with ‘Mean Girls’ actress-and-writer Tina Fey.

She admitted: “I would love to be on ‘30 Rock’. It’s a great show.”
