Reese says Jake is fabulous

"Reese Witherspoon graces the April 2009 cover of Elle. Here’s a snapshot of how the mag’s interview:

On her divorce from Ryan Phillippe: “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 boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal: “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy. Unfortunately, he’s not in the movie, so we can’t really talk about him.”

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.”On her reported Type A personality: “I don’t think I’m a control freak. I think I’m just fearful. I operate from a lot of fear, like, of things being lost or forgotten or neglected. Losing the spiritual rather than the physical. It’s so funny to me that somehow I’ve been portrayed as a very, like, closed-off or uptight person. I’m very open.” Source: Justjared.buzznet.com

Pearly white smiles

"Dr. Jeff Golub-Evans in New York City says pearly whites are the ultimate fashion accessory these days:

"If we think of models, beauty pageant queens, Sarah Palin, talk show hosts, news anchors and more and more just regular folk walking down the street white teeth have become a fashion accessory. It's something that's become a must-have."

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry recently released an annual survey of celebrity smiles.
The association voted Angelina Jolie as having the "sexiest celebrity female smile" and Kelly Ripa as having the "sweetest celebrity female smile".
The AACD also voted Clive Owen as the male celebrity with the sexiest smile, and Jake Gyllenhaal as having the most innocent male celebrity smile". Source: www.3news.co.nz

Gay lip-locks

"But last night Marge Simpson cast threw caution to the wind when she enjoyed a lingering lesbian kiss with one of her friends.

The blue-bouffanted matriach, voiced by Julie Kavner, planted a smacker on her attractive friend's lips in the living room of her family home in Springfield while husband Homer looked on.

However, viewers should not worry that Marge is going to run off with her glamorous friend because it transpires that the smooch is all a figment of beer-swigging Homer's imagination.

The lardy father had been panicking about the disasters that could befall his family after his insurance expires but soon started day-dreaming about his wife locking lips with another woman.The show has been broaching lesbianism more over the last few years and revealed in 2005 that Marge's disapproving older sister Patty was a closet lesbian, who consequently gets engaged to a female golf player Veronica".

Sean Penn and James Franco kissing in the subway in "Milk".

"Fresh from his Best Actor Oscar win for portraying slain gay-rights leader Harvey Milk, Sean Penn joined politicians and activists in California on Tuesday to push for a day to honor the man he portrayed in Milk.


Harvey Milk Day on May 22 would not be a holiday, but teachers would recall how the San Francisco supervisor fought for equal rights before his assassination more than 30 years ago.

"It is important that we remember Harvey Milk for his spirit, his courage and his activism", Penn, dressed in black, told reporters gathered in San Francisco's Tosca Café, which shares the name of Milk's favorite opera. "Harvey taught us the importance of standing up for what you believe in. He showed us the value of never giving up, and he proved that action creates change."

Penn was joined by politicians and civil rights leaders, including gay-rights activist Cleve Jones (played in Milk by Emile Hirsch). He said that so many have been inspired by the story since Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar proposal by state Sen. Mark Leno last September that the governor is unlikely to reject the measure a second time".

Jennifer Aniston in Elle's interview

"In "The Good Girl", Jennifer Aniston plays a Madame Bovary for the Wal-Mart age. She's an adulterous small-town wife named Justine Last who works in a tacky department store and has a disastrous fling with a fellow cashier.

It's a great role for Aniston. With her casually seductive movie-star face and perfect, curvy figure, Justine looks out of place in her scenes -- just as she's supposed to. Justine is a frustrated 30-year-old checkout girl at the Retail Rodeo of Wasteland, Texas. She's a sexy pearl among bland swine in a bleached-out, styleless mid-American cul-de-sac, working in the wrong job in the wrong town, married to the wrong guy (John C. Reilly as pothead house-painter Phil), and eventually mated with the wrong lover as well (Jake Gyllenhaal as writer wannabe Holden Worther).

The movie is a dark comedy about false dreams and lost illusions -- and, thanks to a fine cast and a smart script, it's an effective one. Director Miguel Arteta and writer-actor Mike White, the acidly clever but inwardly tender duo behind "Chuck & Buck" and this movie, make Justine an anti-heroine at the same time they make fun of her and her world. They make Wasteland, Texas, the quintessential town to escape -- except that in this film, the characters seemingly can't".

"When asked if she ever had the desire to "set the record straight", presumably in reference to the much-publicised break-up of her marriage to Pitt three years ago and his subsequent marriage to Angelina Jolie, she replied: "I don't owe anybody my side of the story.
"There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story."
Rather than the "funny, quirky, pretty roles" she usually gets offered, she said she would enjoy being the next Bond girl.
"I'd love to do an action move. James Bond! Glamour! Daniel Craig! ****-loads of fun!"Speaking about her new film, a tear-jerking story about a destructive Labrador, co-starring Owen Wilson, she told ELLE Magazine: "What's great about this movie is that it's a true story.
"It's not pretty. It's about the reality of a marriage.
"It's a portrait of those moments, which everyone has, where you hit a snag. People go to Mach 5 – "We're done! This is over! We can't recover!" – when, in fact, it's beautiful.
"I think breakdowns equal breakthrough. You go further."
