Drew Barrymore graces Harper’s BAZAAR’s March cover, which marks the biggest March issue ever in the magazine’s 146 year history, and inside, she talks about her daughter, Olive, her career, her makeup line, and more.

When she first found out she was pregnant, Barrymore put her film roles on hold and searched for ways to work that didn’t involve being in a trailer, “living someone else’s life through a character. I didn’t feel I could do a lot with fashion because I wear sweatpants that I find on the floor,” she adds. “I live for makeup and I like wine. These are my truths!”

On keeping the details of her daughter’s birth under wraps: “I definitely needed some time,” she recalls. “For a solid six weeks, I was hiding like the Unabomber. Because I live my life in the public eye, I didn’t want that for her. But ultimately she realized that “unless I move into a bunker underground, I don’t have a choice in this matter. It was something that took me weeks to cope with.”

“I know she didn’t sign up for that,” she says about Olive’s being born into the glare of attention that comes with her mother’s 30-plus years of fame. “I had such an exposed childhood,” she says. “I appreciate my journey, but I don’t want that for my kid. Not any of it. It has nothing to do with whether I liked my childhood. I really did. But as a parent, that isn’t the childhood that I’d provide.”

For her successful LashBlast Mascara commercials, Barrymore’s mission was, as it is now, to help women feel good about themselves. “I grew up in a makeup chair,” she says. “And to see the women around me getting ready was so aspirational. It’s about mothers and daughters, a girl watching her mom at a vanity table. I didn’t want a cold campaign with severe messaging. I wanted warmth and acceptance and self-love.”

She wants to apply that same fresh, approachable aesthetic to her makeup line, Flower. “Nobody’s in gold rain or running through a jungle with their lipstick on,” she says. “It was just me and some great music on a white background. That’s every girl, in her closet getting ready.”

Viewers have blasted Mercedes “MJ” Javid for flaunting her curves, but the Shahs of Sunset star isn’t interested in slimming down.

The real estate agent, who varies from a size 8 to 10, exclusively tells the magazine, “I am not ashamed of my body.”

“Skinny is not appealing to me,” MJ admits. “If I were to admire another woman’s body type, it would probably be someone who is very curvaceous and slender in the right places. I think men tend to like it better.” So which celebrity does MJ think has the ideal physique? “Sofia Vergara!”

While the Shahs star tries to eat right and get to the gym for 40-minute cardio sessions as often as possible, MJ refuses to go to extremes when it comes to her diet.

“When I first moved to LA, I went to an internist who told me I was really overweight, and he actually prescribed diet pills,” she tells In Touch. “I went to school and was shaking and having a hard time concentrating in class. I lost weight, [but] it was definitely not a healthy way to do it.”

At the end of the day, MJ admits to having “a love-hate relationship” with her body, something she’s come to accept.

“I am not striving to be thin,” she admits. “The only person that I really want to please is myself.”

OMG I have a love-hate relationship with this show. Okay, I really love it.

Brandi Glanville has written a book, titled ‘Drinking & Tweeting and other Brandi Blunders’. This book would never have made my list of books to read – UNTIL I read a preview of the book! Now I’m a little more intrigued! Brandi just puts it all out there – doesn’t care what anyone does or thinks about it. LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian have GOT to be dying right now.

Brandi Glanville’s never been one to hold back — but she’s REALLY not holding back this time!

Life & Style has the first look inside the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s shocking tell-all, Drinking & Tweeting and other Brandi Blunders (available Feb. 12), revealing new details on ex-hubby Eddie Cibrian’s affair with LeAnn Rimes, her financial struggles, plastic surgery revenge and more!

In her book, exclusively obtained by Life & Style, Brandi writes about the day she found out about Eddie’s affair. “I’m not entirely sure how I ended up on the floor of my closet sobbing…a teary-eyed Eddie found me lying there minutes later, and without saying so much as a word, he started kissing me all over…he pulled off my workout pants and we started having sex right there,” she recalls. “He swore up and down my body that it wasn’t true…that it was completely innocent. In that moment, it was easier to believe him, because I just couldn’t stand the thought of being without him.”

But the 40-year-old, who has two sons, Mason, 9, and Jake, 5, with Eddie, knew there was something going on between her ex and LeAnn after the two met on the set of the TV movie Northern Lights in fall 2008.

“LeAnn had ‘accidentally’ smeared some cake frosting on her top (she was still a bigger girl and completely flat-chested at the time) and asked my husband, not realizing that I was standing behind the both of them, if he wanted lick it off her,” she recalls in the book. “This woman asked my husband if he wanted to eat the frosting mess she’d dropped on her nonexistent chest? … He hadn’t realized I was there, either, and he laughed with hungry eyes at the suggestion.”

Even after Brandi and Eddie split, the reality star says her ex promised “he would never marry LeAnn, but that was just one of the countless lies he told me.”

For Brandi, her life curtailed, and she found herself homeless, without a dime or credit to her name following their divorce. “I was a jobless, homeless, mother of two living out of her $1,200-a-month SUV and couch-surfing from one hospitable friend to the next,” she explains. “After my divorce — even with the help of Lexapro — I fell into a bit of a tailspin [and an eventual DUI arrest]. White wine became my constant shoulder to lean on.”

Of course, she got her revenge — by way of vaginal rejuvenation. “This pretty intense surgery had an even more intense price tag: $12,000,” Brandi reveals. “A brand-new vagina would be an Eddie-free vagina…. I decided that since Eddie had ruined my vagina for me, he could pay for a new one. I gave [the doctor's office] Eddie’s credit card number.”

Looking back, she appreciates everything she’s been through. “I would like to thank my ex-husband, Edward Cibrian, for giving me all the material I could ever need to write this book and for helping me discover the strong independent woman inside of me,” she writes.

HAHAHA! C’mon, that sounds very interesting! She comes right out and calls LeAnn a big girl with no titties! She also admits that Eddie “ruined” her vagina, and she wanted an Eddie-free one instead! PLUS she used his credit card to pay for it! You gotta love that. Seriously. How funny!

I’m sure LeAnn is going to tell everyone she won’t read it – but you and I both know – she had this thing on pre-order.

Here are some photos of Brandi last week at LAX. Look at what she’s carrying! She’s carrying her own book!!!! What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on a wall at the Cibrian home!

Dakota Fanning lands the March cover of Glamour Magazine. The almost 19-year-old actress continues to try and shed her little-girl imagine, although if you’re wearing a Mickey Mouse sweater, it is rather confusing.

In the article, Dakota opens up about her Marc Jacobs “Oh Lola” perfume advertisement that was banned in the UK for being “sexually provocative”, and how Dakota thinks if you see something wrong with it – then the problem lies with you. (You can see the controversial ad here)

On fame & fashion: “It’s really fun when you’re getting dressed for something. It’s not when you’re in the rain with an umbrella and trying to carry a case of water. Yep, that’s me, alone, coming from Duane Reade. I’m not wearing a bra. Deal with it.”

Being surprised about her Marc Jacobs ad? “Yeah, I was! If you want to read something into a perfume bottle, then I guess you can. But it’s also like, Why are you making it about that, you creep? I love Marc and trust him, and we just laughed about it.”

Could she ever be a fashion designer? “I don’t think so. I mean, I won’t rule it out, because then one day I’ll be like, ‘I said that in Glamour in 2013, and here I am now [with my own line].’ But when you know designers and see the work that they put into making their collection, and how much passion they have for that–I think that’s so amazing. And I don’t have the passion to design clothes. It’s nice to be able to grow up and know what you want to do…. I’m reminded of that every time I make a film.”

On her little sister, Elle: “She’s very uninhibited and will try pretty much anything. Even the way she dresses– she dresses totally for herself. She risks being made fun of…by me, which I sometimes do, because I’m an older sister! But I totally admire her and think she’s very cool.”

I like Dakota, I think she’s very talented. Her younger sister, Elle, is pretty cute as well. I thought these pictures were really pretty. I do think it’s hard to see her as a woman. I think it’s crazy that she’s still just 18… given all she’s done already, it seems like she should be 25 or something!

For the first time, Rihanna has really opened up about her on-again relationship with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, and how despite what anyone thinks, she’s going to do what she wants. She claims Chris will never hurt her again, and if she sees any of his old behavior coming out again, then she knows when to leave.

Rihanna has opened up like never before about getting back together with her ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, and what it means for her public image. “I decided it was more important for me to be happy,” she tells the new issue of Rolling Stone. “I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that. Even if it’s a mistake, it’s my mistake. After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I’d rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it.”

The couple’s public reconciliation comes less than four years since Brown assaulted Rihanna the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards. “When you add up the pieces from the outside, it’s not the cutest puzzle in the world,” Rihanna says. “You see us walking somewhere, driving somewhere, in the studio, in the club, and you think you know. But it’s different now. We don’t have those types of arguments anymore. We talk about shit. We value each other. We know exactly what we have now, and we don’t want to lose that.”

And Rihanna says that if Brown were ever to display a hint of his past behavior towards her, she is ready to walk. “He doesn’t have the luxury of fucking up again,” she says. “That’s just not an option. I can’t say that nothing else will ever go wrong. But I’m pretty solid in the knowing that he’s disgusted by that. And I wouldn’t have gone this far if I ever thought that was a possibility.”

I think it’s pretty messed up that she’s back with him. You just don’t want to put yourself in that kind of situation, I think everyone can agree on that. I hope it never gets to a violent point again, but you have to think that it will.

Megan Fox lands the March cover of Marie Claire UK, and here are some images from the mag. Megan Fox is changing, no? I swear she’s had a lot of work done on her face. Her cheekbones have gotten bigger, for sure. What other work has she had done? Her lips?

Anyway, in the magazine, she opens up about being a mom. She recently gave birth to her first child with husband Brian Austin Green, and she can’t wait to have more kids.

While the devoted mother-of-one is grateful for her successful Hollywood film career, she has admitted all she wants to do is spend time with her four-month-old son Noah and hopes to give him siblings as soon as possible.

The ‘This is 40′ actress said: “I’ve never been validated by work or fame or Hollywood or any of that. I recognize the blessings when they come – like, I recognize I’m so lucky to work with Judd [Apatow] – but the ultimate satisfaction for me is being with my son. I just want to give Noah as much of myself as I can. And I want to have more kids. That is where my heart is.”

Megan, 26, confessed having a baby has been a lifelong dream and she is now finding it a struggle to juggle her filming commitments with motherhood because she feels work has become redundant.

She sighed: ”All I wanted to do my whole, whole life was have a baby and, now, I’ve finally done it… It’s very hard for me to do this stuff, because I feel like this isn’t my job any more. My job is to be with him.”

Fox also credited Noah with helping her battle against OCD, explaining: “When they come out they are covered in all kinds of stuff. I took him right on my chest and, from that moment, nothing he does freaks me out. I don’t want to give him a complex.”

The brunette beauty also revealed the secret to her marital bliss with ‘Beverly Hills, 90210′ hunk Brian Austin Green – who she wed in June 2010 – claiming it takes hard work and a good dose of tolerance because the pair are polar opposites of each other.
Megan told Marie Claire magazine: ”I just think we got lucky. I believe he’s my soulmate. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t take work, because we are very, very different. ‘But we are tolerant of each other and we try to be patient with each other, and I don’t try to turn him into me and he knows not to try to turn me into him. He really is amazing. I should never, ever even think about complaining.”

I really liked her interview. I found it interesting that she doesn’t need Hollywood, but for some reason I believe her. She does seem so much different since becoming a mom. She seems more real…. well, except for that face.

Miley Cyrus used to be Disney’s little darling, when she played Hannah Montana for years. A new, edgier, Miley is emerging as she gets older, and the actress insists she was never squeaky clean to begin with. The 20-year-old posed for a series of racy pictures in the new Cosmopolitan.

In the interview, Miley opened up about growing up as a Disney star, and how she always tried to be herself, even if that meant shedding her clean image at an early age. “Some of the worst things that have happened in my career, like things getting leaked, have actually been what’s best for me, because people knew when I was on that show that I was really growing up. I never faked anything. I never played the Disney game of smiling and being a princess and then suddenly having a hard time, saying, “That isn’t who I really am.”’

Miley’s getting ready to make a music comback, but her main priority right now is her fiance, actor Liam Hemsworth. “Number one is my relationship with Liam,” she said. “That’s what I feel the most confident in because you never know; there’s so much hype behind my new record, but it could come out and, worst-case scenario, everyone f***ing hates it.”

Miley still can’t believe that she’s marrying Liam, because she often finds herself gawking over how hot he is. “I’ll literally look at him and be like “You are hot, dear god!”’ she said. “The other day, I turned on the pool heater and it was steaming, and he walked outside and took off his clothes and jumped in the pool. I was like, “I’m gonna faint – the hottest guy of my life is in a steaming pool. This looks like a Playgirl shoot.” So I took a photo and made it the background on my phone. My best friend grabbed my phone and was like, “Who’s that? He is so hot!” That’s my hubby!’”

Miley’s new album sees her collaborating with a surprising array of artists, including Mary J Blige, and the star focuses so much on her individuality that she feels there is ‘room for everybody’ in the music industry.

‘Katy Perry’s been my friend for f***ing five years, and I’m not ever gonna let our work get between that relationship,’ she said.

‘If Katy sticks with being Katy, and Ke$ha is Ke$ha, and Rihanna is Rihanna, and I’m me, there’s room for everybody. The problem is when people look at Gaga and say, “Oh, that works; I’m going to be like that.”’

She added of her latest musical venture: ‘It’s almost like being a new artist and trying to make a first impression. I think the best thing I could have done was take those two years off to really live, because now people don’t think of me as who I was on the TV show.’

What’s your take on Miley? I don’t really love her – or hate her. I just think she’s sorta there. I can appreciate her honesty, and ability to shake things up, like shaving her head. I like her who-gives-a-s**t attitude. With celebrities these days, it’s nice to see someone who’s just going to do and say whatever they want, and don’t care much about what anyone thinks.
