Amanda Seyfried talks about Vanity Fair shoot

"Amanda Seyfried hated every minute of her recent Vanity Fair photoshoot with celebrated fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz, because she had spent the night before throwing up.
The Mamma Mia! star joined fellow up-and-coming screen stars like Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively, Zoe Kravitz and Leighton Meester for a Young Hollywood-themed cover shoot.

Sick Seyfried was a mess on the set of the shoot and regrets not making the most of her time working with Leibovitz.
She says, "It was one of the worst days of my life. I had been ill, I had been throwing up since 4am that day and I had to come in. It was my big moment to work with Annie Leibovitz and I totally crashed out."

She adds, "It was awful, but these girls were so supportive. You wanna hate them because they're your competition but every single one of them were (sic) so cool."

"Despite her angelic exterior, Amanda Seyfried has an edge to her. "I'm trouble, but in a good way," the actress jokes.Ask her about working with dreamboat Channing Tatum in the tearjerker Dear John, now in theaters. He's a stoic soldier, and Seyfried is his true love. They're torn apart by war and family obligations.When she's not dropping one-liners, Seyfried is endearingly unguarded in person. She admits to having her feelings hurt when certain bloggers post cutting things about her, and she talks about the panic attacks she can suffer at airports because she's not a good flier. "I'm a really honest person, to a fault," she says.That's one of the reasons she clicked immediately with her Dear John paramour Tatum. And rather than feeling relief after a press tour that had her on six planes in as many days, she's feeling pretty bummed.

"This is the last day I have with Chan and then we're done promoting this movie. It's sad, because I love him. Because of all the success, you expect him to be a little bit of a (jerk), or at least a little bit vain. And he's not vain," Seyfried says. "This is our last day together. What I would really want to do is go out and get drunk, for old times' sake, but I'm so sick, and that would be so stupid."
"She's self-deprecatingly humble", Tatum says. "She can't accept the fact that she's ridiculously talented and beautiful. And she's hilarious."Seyfried broke out as a dimwit who could predict the weather with her breasts in 2004's Mean Girls. Since then, she has played polygamist Bill Henrickson's daughter in HBO's Big Love. In 2008 she hoofed and sang her way through the musical smash Mamma Mia!, with Meryl Streep as her mom, and last year she was Megan Fox's frumpy best friend in the horror dud Jennifer's Body.
For her, Dear John was the perfect opportunity to co-headline a film.
"I wanted to be the romantic lead in something. When you're playing somebody who's going through a lot — frustration and hardship — you're just purging all your emotions, and it feels really good to do that," Seyfried says.
Since 2008, she has been dating her Mamma Mia! co-star Dominic Cooper, 31, who lives in London. Seyfried, a native of Pennsylvania, is relocating from L.A. to Manhattan this spring to be closer to her family and her boyfriend". Source: www.usatoday.com
