Melrose Place’s
Ashlee Simpson, author/actress
Alicia Silverstone and
Friday Night Lights‘
Connie Britton are featured on the upcoming October ’20s, 30s, 40s’ cover of
REDBOOK magazine.
Check out below for some gorgeous shots of the lovely ladies as well as some highlights from their interview where 24-year-old Ashlee reveals sister Jessica envies her for having a baby.
The October issue of REDBOOK hits stands on September 22nd.
Ashlee on how having Bronx changed her: “I’ve grown up so much. The great thing about being pregnant is that you have nine months and it really does prepare you. Your body is changing, and it’s such an amazing time to feel that connection. I did prenatal yoga, which was a nice way to mellow down and focus on me and Bronx. Being pregnant was the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. Except for the cupcakes.”
Ashlee on whether she ever envies Jessica for being “free”: “I really don’t. She’s always saying, ‘Oh, I want a baby!’ Being a mom’s so empowering and incredible. I’m one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that’s where the best moments come from.”
Alicia on life after the huge success of Clueless: “It was overwhelming. And I was really isolated. From 19 to 28 there was a lot of turmoil in my life, but in a stuck way. Then, around 28, my life started to get shaken up. I realized I wanted to grow more and that anything that wasn’t working in my life, I could fix it. I feel like I came into my womanhood. And that was when I got married. I wasn’t attached to the idea of marriage, but something about Christopher and me — when we got married, things got more clear. My life and my decisions.”
Alicia on her role model: “I love Susan Sarandon. She’s such a sexy, sassy, sophisticated woman — and playful. She’s such a great example of what a hot woman is.”
Connie on aging and how she stays in shape: “I’m in an environment where I have a lot of information about how to stay healthy and live a good life. I love vegan and raw food, I love to exercise. If I weren’t in this business, I think I would be aging differently. I’m fortunate because, for whatever reason, I’ve never looked at myself as, Oh, my gosh, I have to be the most beautiful. I’ve always worked from the inside out, not the outside in.”
Connie on marriage and her Friday Night Lights co-star Kyle Chandler: “It’s been fun playing this role on Friday Night Lights. Kyle’s a great TV husband. We have so many conversations about partnership and what that means to us, what our values are. We have the same perspective on conflicts and where we need to make sure we are grounded and have solidarity. Choosing to be in a monogamous relationship is one of the greatest challenges of being a human being. I have a much less conventional view about it now. It’s about the partnership and the choice to make a commitment.”

Alicia Silverstone and her freaky lopsided face.
i’d have to go with the coug.
Alicia is so gorgeous, Ashlee looks good here too. Love the red dresses.
Alicia hasn’t ever looked as good as she did in clueless. Ashlee can look better, her face came out a bit weird on the cover. I agree, connie britton looks the best.
Holy photoshop batman! Do these magazine people even look at the crap they print anymore?
One nice thing about Connie over the other two—she can really act…..
Article 31 of the Iraqi Constitution, drafted by your right-wing Bushies in 2005 and ratified by the Iraqi people, includes state-guaranteed (single payer) healthcare for life for every Iraqi citizen.

Ash-hole has zero personality and no brains, so I’m going with the cougar too.
Wohoo!
The hell is wrong with alicia’s damn eye?
What the hell is Simpson doing on the cover? After her bullshit Elle (I think) “Be Yourself” cover story followed quickly by plastic surgery to fix said self’s nose this bitch should be banned from magazine covers. No great loss by the way.
