Gwyneth Paltrow graces the cover of V magazine’s summer issue, hitting newsstands May 15.
The screen siren, who stars in two summer blockbusters, Iron Man and Two Lovers with Joaquin Phoenix, is featured in a series of stunning photographs shot by renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti.
In the mag, Gwynnie talks about motherhood and says she’s learned a lot from fellow celebrity mommy Madonna. “Through thick and thin she’s a constant in my life,” says Paltrow. “It’s like we have some karmic thing. She’s a great woman. She’s taught me a lot.”
As for how she balances work with being a busy mom, Gwyneth keeps it real: “I have an amazing nanny. I didn’t have one till Apple was 14 months old, but then, because we were going on tour, we found someone fantastic. She’s been with us ever since.”
Nonetheless, motherhood hasn’t trampled all over Paltrow’s fashion icon status. “I’m always interested in fashion,” she says. “It’s part of who I am and how I express myself.” So, what’s in her closet? “Well, today I’m wearing a Balenciaga jacket, a Rick Owens T-shirt dress, and Lanvin flat boots that I’ve basically worn every day this winter. I wear a lot of Balenciaga. I find it really chic and easy to wear. I’ve gotten really into Sonia Rykiel lately, so I might wear a pair of jeans with a blazer by her. And I have my school-run uniform: leggings with boots and a sweater dress, or a long T-shirt and long cardigan.”

Photographed by Craig McDean, big screen beauty Charlize Theron graces the June cover of W magazine.
Inside the mag, the 32-year-old actress hits out at film fans, claiming modern audiences are obsessed with “fluff.”
Miss Theron is bitter her most recent movie The Valley of Elah underperformed at the box office and is frustrated she can’t find more roles playing strong women, like in 2005’s North Country, and Monster - which won her a Best Actress Oscar in 2004.
Says Charlize: “I asked Michael Seitzman, who wrote North Country, ‘Why don’t you write these kind of stories more; these roles for women?’ He said, ‘There isn’t the demand for it.’ It’s not necessarily Hollywood’s fault. People don’t go to see these movies. I think it’s a bigger problem. We’ve become completely fluff obsessed.”

Filed under: Carmen-Electra, magazines
With two marriages down and one to go, Carmen Electra is a pro at attracting the opposite sex. And now the man magnet is offering some tips for us mere mortals (of the female variety) on how to lure a strapping young man.
June’s Cosmopolitan magazine dishes the details in its upcoming issue. Here’s a sneak peek:
Be Ready
Carmen suggests keeping a “sexiness kit” in the car or in a drawer at work so that you have what you need when you’re faced with a situation that calls for some extra prepping. The essentials: “Perfume, lip gloss, and a pair of heels” because they’ll help you better showcase your legs. Knowing you look hot also boosts your all-around confidence.
Channel an Icon
When looking for a little style inspiration, Carmen recommends browsing the Web, believe it or not. “Google movie bombshells,” she suggests. Her own idol is Ann-Margret, whom she discovered in junior high when she saw the fiery singer-actress-dancer in the movie Bye Bye Birdie. “I watched it over and over and studied how she moved, how she talked, and her expressions,” she says.
Let Him Know You’re Interested
On a date, feel out chemistry — literally, says Carmen. “Accidentally” making physical contact, whether it’s using his shoulder to steady yourself or picking an imaginary piece of lint off his shirt does two things — it gauges his interest in you and lets him know you’re comfortable around him.

Filed under: magazines, Scarlett-Johansson
Looking more trannylicious than last night’s ANTM reject, bride-to-be Scarlett Johansson graces the June issue of Paste magazine.
Inside the pages, the 23-year-old actress chats about how she’s been influenced personally and professionally by her five “dads”: Woody Allen, Bill Murray, Tom Waits, Barack Obama and Bob Dylan.
On Bill: “It was difficult working on that film. First of all, I was 17, and I was going through my own shit—graduating from high school and figuring out what I wanted, what was important to me, finding my independence. I was in Tokyo, which was totally foreign to me, and I was working insane hours. It wasn’t like Bill and I had so much in common that we could have this great personal relationship. We were at totally different stages in our lives, and I don’t think he was necessarily so fascinated by what I was going through. But we were fortunate that we had a lot of chemistry between us.”
On Woody: “He’s very modern in his way of thinking and has a great enthusiasm, a hunger for what he does. I think part of that is nervousness about the passing of time, a sense that this life is not enough. He’s just so full of ideas, and it’s inspiring to see somebody who’s in the autumn of his life but hasn’t lost any of the passion for storytelling. We talk a lot about relationships, whether it’s people that are together intimately, or friends, whatever—how people are with one another. He’s fascinated by human nature, and so am I.”
On Tom: “At first it was like, ‘What this weird music that your dad listens to?’ But Tom Waits’ music somehow oddly appeals to a kid because records like Small Change have that circusy, carnival-act vibe. The songs are very cinematic. I think as a kid I was attracted to that in the same way I loved “Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!”—one of my favorite Beatles songs. It really lets a kid’s imagination take flight.”
On Barrack: “It’s been so exciting to get out there and talk to kids—and I say ‘kids’ meaning my peers—about why I appreciate Barack. He’s confronting health-care issues that affect young people. You know, most of my friends don’t have insurance. They’re working as photo assistants and stuff like that. These kids on the campaign trail asking questions, they are so well-informed. They’re asking really specific policy questions. It impacts whether they decide to vote for Clinton or Obama, or decide to register as independent or support McCain. They have real concerns, and they want answers. I love that part of it. So that’s a whole other aspect of this life that’s been fun and inspiring.”
On Bob: “I’ve been fortunate enough to never be the biggest media sensation. I’ll do anything to avoid it. It’s so gross—that whole tabloid shit is disgusting and awful. And I feel bad because sometimes people don’t court it and they get it, and you don’t know why. People are interested in them. Maybe they’ve become America’s sweetheart at some time, and they have their personal life, but then people get hungry for that, too.
“If you have somebody waiting outside your house for 32 hours, it doesn’t matter how many days you’ve clocked in on the movie-star meter. You’re still a person living your life. I can understand how that must have been for Dylan, who’s such an icon. I’ve been fortunate enough to mostly come out unscathed.”

Elisabeth Hasselbeck shows off her post-pregnancy bikini body on the cover of the new Fitness magazine.
The View’s resident conservative trained especially hard just for the cover shoot.
“Body image has nothing to do with scale numbers, it’s how you feel inside,” Hasselbeck, who turns 31 this month, told Fitness magazine. “This is the first time I’ve felt free from that, because I am working out in a way where I feel so strong that there’s no room for those doubts.”
She adds: “I finally told myself … ‘I’ve got some curves, I’ve got a bubble butt, but I don’t mind, because it’s what powers me forward when I run.’ “

Cate Blanchett graces June’s hugely popular Eco Chic issue of Marie Claire UK.
Inside the mag, the new mom discusses green issues as well as her personal life, such as her husband and filming for the Inidana Jones movie.
On her husband: “We’re unnaturally close… He was the first person I was romantically involved with who I could talk to about how I work. I have actor friends whose partners don’t provide any constructive criticism. But I get support in all its forms from my husband… I really hope he gets that from me, too.”
On Indiana Jones: “This is one my kids can definitely see… Dash watched takes with me on set and he was really impressed as I was by ‘the guy in the hat’, as he referred to Harrison Ford.”
On the future: “I firmly believe we all have the capacity to think big thoughts and are ripe to be inspired. I’m an optimist. I believe we’re ready as a generation to seize this opportunity to make profound environmental changes for the better. After all, what’s the alternative?”
