Britney Spears is featured on the December cover of Lucky magazine, talking about whom she admires, style wise, and what her two boys think she does when she goes off to be a judge on “The X Factor,” reports ExtraTV.com.

Britney laughed, “They try to figure out where I go when I go film ‘X Factor.’ They’re like ‘Mommy’s going off to be a superhero.’”

Britney said she admires fashionista Jennifer Lopez, because she is “a classic beauty,” and Sarah Jessica Parker because “her looks are really bright and funky and young.”

It kind of looks like she’s trying to hold the wig down in the picture below…

Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham apparently has $21,000 to blow on a new nose and a new chin. She’s already gone under the knift before, having at least a boob job. She now got more plastic surgery on her face, and call me crazy, but her nose doesn’t look THAT much different to me (or maybe what I mean is her nose doesn’t look BETTER). Am I crazy? (See a “before” pic below)

21-year-old Teen Mom Farrah Abraham exclusively reveals her new face only in In Touch after going under the knife for two procedures: rhinoplasty and a chin implant.

“I’ve hated my nose since I was 13,” the single mom, who had her first plastic surgery procedure, a breast augmentation, in 2010, tells In Touch. Now, after her latest surgery — performed Oct. 7 in Bal Harbour, Fla., by Dr. Michael Salzhauer, Farrah says she’s thrilled with the results. “I don’t have to hate anything on my face ever again,” she says. “I feel gorgeous!”

And even after spending a total of $21,000 on altering her body ($16,000 on her face and $5,000 on her breasts) Farrah tells In Touch she has no regrets: “I hate that my surgeries cost this much, but it was worth it.”

“There was pain,” admits Farrah, although she insists she “wasn’t insecure” before the surgeries. “But it was very worth it.”

She “wasn’t insecure” before the surgeries? BS! Why on earth would she get plastic surgery unless she WAS insecure? What person, secure in how they look, gets plastic surgery??

If you had $21,000 floating around – would you change anything on yourself?

Earlier this month Kim Kardashian revealed that she wanted to drop a couple pounds, after it was reported she had gained 25 since she started dating Kanye West.

The reality “star”, who just celebrated her 32nd birthday, shared a photo of herself with her pants hanging low and in a workout bra, showing off her newly toned tummy.

“I just wanna chill in my sweats all day!” she wrote when she posted the photo to her Twitter account.

Earlier, Kardashian had told Life & Style magazine that she was “hoping to slim down a little bit,” and used her relationship with Kanye West as the reason she’d gained a few pounds.

“I think everyone goes up and down in whatever that comfortable love relationship phase is where you like to eat out, but now it’s time to get it together again,” she told the magazine.

Kardashian is a believer in Barry’s Bootcamp workout, but she also likes a quick fix. She boasted that she had shed some weight using QuickTrim, (the possibly unsafe) diet pill and shake program for which she and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe are spokeswomen:

“Since I started QuickTrim again a few weeks ago, I’m down 6 lbs!!! Yay best feeling. I was getting discouraged but now I’m so motivated!” she wrote on her Twitter account on Oct. 3.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

People Magazine paid Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel $300,000 for their wedding pictures, and here we’re getting a sneak peek at what the money bought them! The couple posed for this picture shortly after they were married on Friday in Italy. I think the cover is totally cute, and shows Justin’s total excitement. One thing I’m not sure about, though, is Jessica’s pink wedding dress (which is Giambattista Valli couture). Pink? Really?  Don’t you think it’s odd that the cover focuses more on Justin than on Jessica? You can hardly see her dress at all, and what you CAN see looks awfully 80′s. Is that the point?

Judging by their wedding photo, Justin Timberlake was more than ready to jump into his new life with Jessica Biel, springing airborne with joy.

When the couple of five years exchanged personal vows in a romantic Italian ceremony Oct. 19, “it was a really special evening,” Timberlake, 31, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story, in which the newlyweds open up for the first time about their special day and share exclusive photos.

“It was a total fantasy experience,” adds Biel, 30.

One cause for emotion? The singer-actor played the guitar and serenaded his beautiful bride-to-be as she walked down the aisle in a custom, petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown.

“It was an original piece I wrote specifically for the evening and for her,” says Timberlake, who wore a Tom Ford tux he helped design.

The pair welcomed 100 guests, including close friends Jimmy Fallon, Andy Samberg, Timbaland and Biel’s 7th Heaven costar Beverley Mitchell, to the Borgo Egnazia resort in southern Italy for a week-long wedding celebration.

“It was a lot to ask of them to travel, so we figured we’d give our guests a good party!” says Timberlake.

I can’t wait to see more pictures from this pictorial!

Halle Berry covers the NY Times Magazine, and inside the magazine she talks about her upcoming role in the new film ‘Cloud Atlas’. It’s an epic new movie with six plotlines that span space and time. I’m not sure if I’m entirely sold on the movie (watch the trailer below). It looks like it could be good, but I’m leaning more towards it looking more like a hot mess. (Rotten Tomatoes has given the movie a 76%, which is a decent rating, but the movie’s not out yet, so that could change.)

Here’s some from the very long interview, via Celebitchy:

On the paparazzi
it’s not O.K. that they’re doing terrible things to my daughter. One night, after they chased us, it took me two hours just to get her calmed down enough to get to sleep.

On if Cloud Atlas is a “comeback” for her
“I never went anywhere. I just seized the chance to be in an extraordinary filmwith an extraordinary cast, exploring an idea that’s relevant to everyone.”

She’s asked ‘Why have you made such bad choices in men?’
“My picker’s broken,” she says with a laugh. “God just wanted to mix up my life. Maybe he was thinking, ‘This girl can’t get everything! I’m going to give her a broken picker.’ ” She says it’s fixed now.

Something vague about how she’s insecure
“Just because they see my face doesn’t mean they see me. A person’s self-esteem has nothing to do with how she looks. If it’s true that I’m beautiful,” she adds, “I’m proof of that.
“Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child.”

Her struggles as a mixed race child
After her mother showed up for the first time at her all-black elementary school, Berry was shunned. “Kids said I was adopted,” she says. “Overnight, I didn’t fit in anymore.” When the family moved to the suburbs in search of a better education for Berry and her sister, she was suddenly the lone black child in a nearly all-white school. People left Oreo cookies in her locker. When she was elected prom queen, the school principal accused her of stuffing the ballot box and suggested she and the white runner-up flip a coin to see who got to be queen. Berry won the toss.

On proving herself
“I always had to prove myself through my actions,” she says. “Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper. It gave me a way to show who I was without being angry or violent. By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity. I’d turned things around.”

On how her mom helped her with her identity
When she was 16, her mother stood with her in front of a mirror and asked what she saw. “My mother helped me identify myself the way the world would identify me,” Berry says. “Bloodlines didn’t matter as much as how I would be perceived” — as beautiful but also as a black woman in a world in which the images of beautiful, successful black women were notably absent.

How a black counselor became her mentor
“My mother tried hard,” Berry says. “But there was no substitute for having a black woman I could identify with, who could teach me about being black.”

A black school counselor named Yvonne Sims entered her life in fifth grade. She remains one of Berry’s closest friends. “Yvonne taught me not to let the criticism affect me. She inspired me to be the best and gave me a model of a great black woman.”

On being biracial
We speak of her own experience, but also that of President Obama. She hasn’t met him, but she attended the inauguration and feels a connection to another dark-skinned child of an absent black father, raised by a white mother. “Being biracial is sort of like being in a secret society,” she says. “Most people I know of that mix have a real ability to be in a room with anyone, black or white.”

Winning the Oscar didn’t change much for her
“I come from humble beginnings,” she says. “I always felt like the underdog. Behind the eight ball. I learned not to be too high on the hog. Even that night I won the Oscar, I had a fundamental knowing, it was just a moment in time. Driving home that night, back to my house, I felt like Cinderella. I said, ‘When this night is over, I’m going back to who I was.’ And I did.”

Why she’s trying to move to France
“I can’t grow my daughter in L.A.,” she tells me. “You take a little child who is just trying to learn about the world and have all these people with cameras chasingafter her, calling things out to her about her mother. It’s starting to make her feel special and different. I want her to feel special and different, but not for the reason of being my child.”

What she’d do if she wasn’t famous
“I’d go to the market with my daughter,” she says. “Go to Santa Monica Pier and take her on a ride. Nothing special. Just live some normal life for once.”

In August of 2008, Christina Applegate made the difficult decision to undergo a double mastectomy, after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Her mother also had breast cancer and survived, and instead of opting for chemo – she opted to have the breasts removed entirely. After having reconstructive surgery, Christina went on to have a baby with her partner Martin Lenoble.

Christina sat down with More magazine and talked about the ordeal, and how losing her breasts was horrible. She wanted to keep her cancer diagnosis to herself, but ultimately decided to share it.

The Up All Night star, who underwent a double mastectomy in 2008 after being diagnosed with the same disease her mother survived, opens up about her painful struggle to come to terms with losing both of her breasts in the November 2012 issue of More magazine, and RadarOnline.com has the details.

“I miss my exquisite breasts sometimes,” she reveals, in reference to a line about her natural mammary glands in the movie Anchorman.

The 40-year-old explains how she was denied the time to grieve, as the media learned about her surgery immediately following the operation.

“The good thing is that we got the information out, but talking about the facts of the disease, I didn’t have to see what was going on with me. I think when it slowed down, all that came crashing down,” she says.

With the help of her friends and family and a spiritual advisor, she overcame what she calls a “total emotional collapse.”

Soon after, she reunited with old friend Martyn LeNoble, and the two quickly fell in love.

“We had always cared deeply for one another when we were friends. And he came and put me under his wing. That was it – he was supposed to come.”

Applegate, who welcomed her first child, Sadie Grace, in early 2011, hopes to have another with her partner, but sadly, it may not be an option.

“Because of some things that happened during my pregnancy, I don’t know if I can. I hope I can. We’ll see,” she says.

I love Christina. I think it’s great she came out and talked about her battle with breast cancer. It’s a very real, honest interview, which is refreshing. Happy that things worked out well for her, and she is happy with her partner and daughter!

Fergie recently sat down with Oprah, and revealed how she was once addicted to crystal meth, and she thanks God for saving her. Fergie said her drug addiction had gotten so bad she became paranoid she was being followed by the FBI and SWAT teams.

The 37-year-old singer said she was able to quit drugs after going to church and making a deal with God. “I started getting really paranoid. So I went one day into this church and I thought that the FBI and the SWAT teams were outside the church…so I had a conversation with God…and I said, “Alright, if I go out there and the FBI and the SWAT team’s not out there, then it’s the drugs and I’m stopping.” I went outside of the church…and there was no SWAT team, there was no FBI, just me and God. And I kept my promise. That day. That was it.”

Fergie began taking drugs as a teenager, starting with ecstasy, and moving on to crystal meth. She told Oprah, “I got into a scene. I started going out and taking ecstasy. From ecstasy it went to crystal meth. With any drugs, everything is great at the beginning, and then slowly your life starts to spiral down. [I was] 90 pounds at one point.”

Fergie claims she was only on drugs for about a year before she quit, and got her life back on track. “What got me through it was a lot of therapy, soul searching, discovering why I took the drugs in the first place, because that’s really what it is,” she said.

Not only did Fergie experiment with drugs, but she also admits to being a “sexually free spirit” during college. She denies being a lesbian, but admitted to experimenting with women. “I never dated women. It was more fun. I think that a lot of women experience this sort of thing in college. Tour was like college in a way. I mean I guess I would call it bisexual or sexually open, free spirit…what have you.” she said.
