Hemingway & Gellhorn co-stars Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen grace the cover of W magazine’s May 2012 issue. Inside, Nicole discusses the HBO movie and husband Keith Urban’s throat surgery.
On Hemingway & Gellhorn: “I knew nothing about Martha [Gellhorn], but I’ve always been drawn to unique women who are willing to take on the world. The exciting thing about this film is that you see her discovering her nature. At the beginning, she’s a lot of talk. She knows that she’s either got to get her hands dirty and become what she pretends to be or she’s a fraud. In the end, Gellhorn out-Hemingways Hemingway.”
On husband Keith Urban‘s throat surgery: “All of those things make you closer. It was sort of profound: to go without his voice, and then to finally hear his voice. What if he sounded different? I was there for his first words, and then we cried. How many people experience their husband’s first words? If that doesn’t bring you closer, you’re not breathing.”

On dressing for the red carpet: “All I look for is to be able to breathe!”
On her character: “[I'm a] worrier. I am living for every day and trying to have less fear, less worry. But I have always worried about everything; it’s in my nature. It’s the thing that makes me suffer the most.”

Zooey Deschanel graces the cover of Marie Claire magazine’s May 2012 issue wearing a Gucci ensemble. Inside, she discusses her dating life, not wanting children, and being bullied as a child.
On her dating life: “Honestly, I’m just going through a divorce, so I don’t really think that’s something I want to get into now. I don’t have time to date. I literally – don’t-have-time.”
On not wanting children: “That’s never been my focus. My sister [Emily] was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff. I like kids, and I like being around kids – but it was never an ambition, something, like, I need … I like working. That’s what I like doing. I like to work.”
On being bullied as a child: “I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I’m the same person. Certainly you change, and you change perspective, you have other experiences. But isn’t it funny – I can still remember when I was treated differently from the way I’m treated now.”

Forget revamping your wardrobe or your beauty routine this spring. Now that Anna Sui has launched a line of bedding, we suggest you work on sprucing up your bedroom. The bedding line is inspired by a vacation Anna took in India last year, a place that is known for its bright colors and bold prints. When Anna mixed this inspiration with her own signature style, the result is pretty magical: pillow covers, sheets, and quilts, all in a bohemian purple print. The prices are pretty amazing too. You can outfit your entire bed for around $400, or you can pick up just a couple of pieces and use them as accents. To check out the full collection, head to AnnaSui.com.
Lauren Conrad graces the cover of Glamour magazine’s May 2012 issue wearing Blumarine briefs. Inside, she discusses girls in Hollywood, body image, and what keeps her grounded.
On girls in Hollywood: “I knew people who called the paparazzi on themselves! Their point of view is ‘They’re going to photograph me anyway, and this way I get paid half of what they make.’ ”
On body image: “On the vacation to Cabo, I wore a bathing suit on the beach for the first time in years. Usually I’m just petrified. A couple of years ago someone zoomed in on my cellulite and it was so mean. I took it really personally. I haven’t worn a bathing suit in L.A. in years because of that.”
On what keeps her grounded: “For me, the best way to stay grounded is to surround myself with friends and family who knew me way back when. There’s nothing like cleaning my mom’s dishes or taking out the trash to remind me that I’m no different than anyone else.”

It isn’t unlike Karl Lagerfeld to choose someone totally unexpected for an ad campaign. Consequently, when it was announced earlier this year that British socialite Alice Dellal would front the new Chanel Boy Bag campaign, we weren’t surprised—and we’re sure you weren’t either. Now, the images have finally arrived. In one, Dellal appears to sleep peacefully on a love seat, her Boy Bag locked in her grasp. In another she leans against a dining table, her Boy Bag over her shoulder, her hair parted to one side to reveal her signature shaved ‘do. So, the question is: do you like seeing someone new and unexpected in the Chanel Boy campaign? The jury is out.
Jennifer Lopez appears on the cover of Vogue magazine’s April 2012 issue. Inside, she discusses her manager, Benny Medina, and being a parent.
On her manager, Benny Medina: “I just think of him as a real, creative soul mate. He’s been the most consistent man in my life besides my dad. We love each other. People always ask about all the men I dated, and I am like, ‘You know the Benny and Jennifer story? That’s the real story here.’ ”
On having twins: “They do something to you where you want to do everything right for them,” she says. “And obviously no parent does everything right. It’s this weird thing that happens where you are striving to be as good as you can be so that they turn out well. And that requires that you be a really great, evolved, aware person in every moment. Which is pretty awesome. But it’s also putting tremendous pressure on yourself—which is why women feel so guilty!”

And now… for a collaboration that makes so much sense we wish we thought of it: Free People has teamed up with Rickenbacker on five one-of-a-kind guitars. Each instrument has been decorated by hand by Free People’s artists, which means they feature the retailer’s signature, whimsical touch—one is covered in multicolored mosaic tiles, another has neon flowers, and yet another is covered in a rainbow design. So, why exactly did these two brands come together? For charity, of course! Each guitar will be available for auction on CharityBuzz.com, all in support of Music For A Cure.
