Miranda Lambert: “Really skinny actresses make me hungry” » Celebrity Gossip

Miranda Lambert

28 year-old country music singer Miranda Lambert opened up in Self Magazine about her weight, saying that she likes her size 8 figure and that she’d encourage really skinny women to eat:

On not wanting to be too thin:
“I don’t care about being stick-thin. I don’t want stuff to jiggle. Really skinny actresses make me hungry—I see them and think, Honey, you need to eat! I’m lucky I don’t have to live like that. I feel my best when I’m a toned, not flabby, size 8. Women come up to me and say, ‘You’re beautiful and confident, and that makes me feel I can be, too.’ I won’t give up what I enjoy to look perfect. I want to find a happy medium between feeling good about my body and still having a beer and some barbecue.”
On hating exercise:
“I absolutely hate exercise. I love it afterward, of course. But my trainer is so nice, I want to do push-ups to please him!”

Malin Akerman Is in Shape

34 year-old model/actress Malin Akerman embraces the cover of Shape Magazine this month, where she opens up about her indulgences, energy levels and her good genes:

On her favorite foods:
“Oh, believe me, I have my splurges. I can’t live without chocolate. Though I barely consider it an indulgence because it’s good for you. I also love a thick steak and french fries. I try not to eat them more than once a week, but if they somehow land on the table in front of me, I won’t hold back. You’ve got to allow yourself the things you enjoy or you’ll just be miserable.”
On drinking alcohol:
“I love to drink wine, but when I avoid it, I have so much more energy – and that’s what I need when I’m focusing on my body.”
On what she likes least about her body:
“I’m not going to lie: I was born with good genes. But when I overindulge, I can get a paunch in my belly. And I’ve always wished I had more beef in my booty.”

… says Malin while posing in various bikinis for the magazine.

Stacy Keibler Gets Leggy and Brings Today’s Quote » Celebrity Gossip

Stacy Keibler

On how working out gives her confidence:

‘Confidence comes from within and as long as you are putting forth a respectable effort to take good care of yourself, you should feel confident about that path. Just be sure to set realistic goals for yourself and design a plan that works for you. Also, remember that everyone gets there at their own pace and there’s no losing when you take charge. Your body begins to change when it burn and shakes…so when an exercise is challenging, I always think ‘feel your body changing’.’

… says 5’11” Stacy (who once said that ‘you can buy boobs, but you are born with great legs’ like hers) in this issue of Self Magazine.

Young Spurs Fan Faces Suspension For Haircut Tribute to Matt Bonner » Celebrity Gossip

Young Spurs Fan Faces Suspension For Haircut Tribute to Matt Bonner

A young San Antonio Spurs fan faces suspension from school if he doesn't somehow alter the image of NBA player Matt Bonner shaved into his head.

Why on Earth someone takes the time to have a likeness of the reserve forward shaved onto the back of their head, no one knows. But it's awesome!

Even more amazing is the fact that the Woodlake Hills Middle School student Patrick Gonzalez could actually face disciplinary action over this haircut:

Because the image is so threatening, and so severe, if the style isn't "fixed" by today, Gonzalez will have to take in an in-school suspension.

This is worse than out-of-school suspension, where he could at least go home and watch Spurs games with Bonner sitting on the bench on DVR.

According to Aubrey Chancellor of the Judson I.S.D. District, officials say the haircut is a distraction and it doesn't matter who it's a tribute to.

"Whether it's the Spurs or whether it's the Cowboys, anything people obviously support, it doesn't matter," she said in a statement Wednesday.

No word if Bonner will shave an image of Gonzalez into his hair in solidarity.

Rohan Marley, Lauryn Hill's Ex, Engaged to Isabeli Fontana! » Celebrity Gossip

Rohan Marley, Lauryn Hill's Ex, Engaged to Isabeli Fontana!

Rohan Marley, the son of reggae legend Bob Marley and ex of Lauryn Hill, has gotten engaged to Brazilian Sports Illustrated model Isabeli Fontana.

Fontana said the couple plans to wed in Ethiopia, where the Rastafarian movement was founded. According to Contact Music, she told Veja magazine:

"Rohan told me we have to return to the roots so the marriage will last forever."

Fontana, 28, has been divorced twice, to model Alvaro Jacomossi and actor/model Henri Castelli. The model has a son from each of those marriages.

Marley, 39, dated former Fugees singer Lauryn Hill, 36, from 1996-2011.

Hill often referred to him as her husband, though their relationship status was never revealed until they broke up. The couple had five children together.

He also has two children from his previous relationship with Geraldine Khawly, who he married during college and was still married to when he met Hill.

He made headlines last year when it was reported that Marley left Hill for Fontana while Hill was pregnant with another child, allegedly to another man.

"Contrary to the numerous reports, Mr. Marley did not abandon me while pregnant with his child. We have had long periods of separation over the years but our 5 children together remain a joy to both of us," Hill said, refuting that rumor.

Congrats to Rohan and Isabeli!

Should Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder Star in 50 Shades of Grey? » Celebrity Gossip

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder

Nina Dobrev hasn't read Fifty Shades of Grey yet, but with her name floating around as a possible fit for the female lead, she might want to get on it!

"All I've heard is that it's very scandalous, to say the least," the Vampire Diaries starlet told MTV. "I haven't read it, but I'm intrigued ... who knows?"

"I mean, well, I guess we'll have to see."

With co-star and real-life boyfriend Ian Somerhalder expressing interest in the role of Christian Grey, it's no surprise Dobrev has been linked to Anastasia Steele.

Working with Ian a second time isn't as appealing to Nina as you night think, though. She said if she did play Anastasia, she'd prefer another guy.

"I don't know if that's a good idea," she said of herself and Somerhalder both starring in the movie adaptation of EL James' erotic love story trilogy.

"I think it's best for any of the actors on The Vampire Diaries to kind of do their own things ... and create new characters ... if it's the same people, the fans will alway see me as Elena and they'll see him as Damon if we do a film together."

"I think it would be better [if] either he should get it or I should get it, but I know that apparently he's really great for the role, so I hope he gets it!"

Another pair of famous vampires, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, have been talked about at length as good fits, especially considering that James initially modeled the books after Edward and Bella from the Twilight saga.

Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette: Protecting Ricki is Priority #1 » Celebrity Gossip

Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette: Protecting Ricki is Priority #1

Emily Maynard wouldn't reveal if she gets engaged on The Bachelorette this season, though she says she "was happy before the show, but really happy now."

She also says the road to the final rose was secondary to protecting her little girl. On a conference call with reporters, she described how that influenced things:

"If I was a single 26-year-old without a daughter, I'd be doing the same things the other Bachelorettes did. But Ricki is always at the forefront of my mind."

"I wouldn't get in a hot tub on a first date in my everyday life so I sure as hell am not going to do it on [TV]. I like to keep Ricki sheltered to a point."

"She's not at an age where she can even begin to understand the reason for the cameras. I told her it was for a very elaborate home video that she could watch way down the road. ... Ricki's life was not really affected at all."

"She was very protected throughout the entire process. She didn't see the guys. I got to spend a lot of time with her, take her to school and do all my mom stuff."

As for how Emily Maynard finally came around to doing the show?

"I had a million reservations and I said no to anybody who would listen. But time went on, we started talking again, and they were so accommodating that it was [too] great an opportunity to pass up," the 26-year-old explained.

"I had a great group of guys. I had the time of my life and learned so much about myself. It was the best experience getting to travel and to give Ricki the opportunity to see things she wouldn't have otherwise."

The guys came in having an image of me in their head but as they got to know me better, they all said, [I was] nothing like they thought. It was a good thing."

"I'm feisty and sassy. It takes a little bit for me to really feel comfortable but I've never been called 'boring' in my normal everyday life."

As for which guys make it to the end? The Bachelorette spoilers we've compiled so far give you a fairly good idea of who the leading candidates are ...

She's just been named the most powerful female celebrity by Forbes magazine while slated to begin a world tour and her new film hits theaters this Friday, but now it appears as if Jennifer Lopez is backing out of her position as judge on "American Idol."

I know she's gotten lots of offers to do movies and other things."

Now that her return is up in the air, let the multimillion dollar negotiations begin!

Brooklyn Decker Talks Horse Name, Family Aspirations

She has two new films, "Battleship" and "What to Expect When You’re Expecting", due out on May 18th and, as part of her promotional blitz, Brooklyn Decker landed herself a feature in the June 2012 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

The 25-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit beauty donned designer dresses from the likes of Bottega Veneta and Proenza SAchouler for the Miguel Reveriego shot spread while dishing about everything from where she got her name to family aspirations with tennis pro hubby Andy Roddick.

Highlights from Miss Decker's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Vanity Fair!

On where she got her name:
“I’m named after a horse. My mom’s best friend had a horse named Brooke, so my dad suggested ‘Brooklyn’ as a more formal version, and it just stuck—and now I live in Brooklyn part-time, so go figure.”

On her long-term plans with husband Andy Roddick:
“I think that I’d like to try to be a superwoman and have kids and work, so we’ll see if I can actually accomplish that. But, if we’re talking dream scenario, that would probably be it.”

On not being in demand when she first started modeling:
“There were countless jobs I didn’t get because of my figure. I wasn’t that successful as a model, ever. I just had a few clients that really embraced my curves.”

On walking away from modeling at the height of her career:
“The Sports Illustrated cover was the last thing I shot. That week, I told my agent, ‘You know what, I really ...I don’t want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.’ And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment.”

Billy Bob Thornton Talks Angelina Jolie Regrets

He’s not the most traditional celebrity, and Billy Bob Thornton confessed he made a big boo-boo when it came to his marriage with super-hottie Angelina Jolie.

The “Monster’s Ball” star noted that he struggled to think he was “good enough for her” and finally just “blew it.”

Thornton explained, "She has one way she wanted to live her life and I had another way to live mine. I was just too insecure. I felt like the Phantom of the Opera hiding in the catacombs. People actually said that I didn't deserve to be with her."

"When you're in a relationship, any two celebrities or whatever, you know, I think that puts on a lot of pressure. When Angie and I got married, during that time, I was more famous than she was to start with and then she becomes this big thing, it's hard in these relationships.”

"We had a great marriage and I chickened out because I didn't feel good enough. That's all that happened. It was no big deal, we never hated each other,” he added.
