Gwyneth Paltrow graces Harper’s BAZAAR’s May cover, and inside, she opens up about family, motherhood, guilty pleasure, and learning to love life in all its imperfections.

I love the cover, I think she looks beautiful. I even really enjoyed the article, which you can read in full here. Here are some bits via Celebitchy:

She’s “over” being in London: Having survived her 10th London winter (she got through January by assigning it “international month,” and amusing Moses and his big sister, Apple, 9, with a visiting Italian chef, Japanese anime screenings, and hand-rolled-sushi lessons, no less), Paltrow admits that her dreams of relocating the family to their recently acquired residence in Brentwood, California, are becoming ever more urgent. “Just to have my kids be in the sun every day—picking avocados, going for a swim,” she says. “Even for two years or something, and come back when they go to senior school.”

Her skin:“I really used to be bad with products, but now I exfoliate every night and use a lot of organic oils on my face,” she confides. (She’s a Sonya Dakar fan.) “And I have a great dermatologist in L.A. who gave me this amazing laser the last time I was there. It’s called Thermage. It’s not invasive. I went out to dinner right afterward and I didn’t look crazy, but it’s quite painful. It feels like someone’s smacking your face with a rubber band that has an electric shock in it. But I would do it again, because I feel like it took five years off my face.”

Contradictions: As it happens, Paltrow and I share a London facialist (holistic queen Vaishaly Patel), which leads to talk of the lifestyle contradictions presented by the high-tech temptations of the beauty business. “I think it’s a mix,” she says honestly. “You know, I use organic products, but I get lasers. It’s what makes life interesting, finding the balance between cigarettes and tofu.

Snooki has lost a lot of weight. A LOT. I don’t think we’ve ever seen her this small!

The actress reportedly lost 42 pounds after giving birth to her son in August. Now she’s fighting back at reports that she used laxatives and starved herself to lose the weight.

The 26-year-old is fighting back at Star Magazine, for calling her “emaciated.” Their source says “all she eats is lettuce and egg whites.”

“Most of her calories come from booze, and she uses laxatives too. It’s scary. She looks emaciated, and everyone is worried sick,” the source told the tabloid.

Snooki has admitted to struggling with anorexia in the past, but now insists she’s losing the weight in a healthy way. She tweeted, “Star mag, shame on u for that RIDICULOUS article. I literally worked my ass off in the gym for my toned, HEALTHY body. Get ur facts right.”

PS: I had to create a ‘Snooki’ category for this post, which made me chuckle.

It’s really sad to me what Octomom will do in order to stay in the public eye. She’s already tried stripping, taken a stab at porn, and has entered rehab. Now, In Touch Magazine has gotten her to pose as Angelina Jolie at the 2012 Oscars, and as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider.

Yesterday afternoon, Brandi Glanville tweeted the photo above, showing her burned face. OUCH, right? Brandi Tweeted, “Doctor said he could get rid of my melasma. It was too hard for my skin. Still healing, it’s been depressing #skinobsessed.” Melasma is a skin discoloration disorder.

All in the name of beauty. What women won’t do to look more beautiful!

This is Brandi’s second burn in the last month or so. Last month, she burned her hand, not really sure how that one happened. The burned hand is a bit much for the front page, so if you want to see it – follow the jump! More »

Do you think that LeAnn Rimes calls the paparazzi and lets them know where she is and what she’s doing? Seems like every time the girl puts on a bikini, she’s swarmed by paparazzi. She likes to act annoyed with the paps, but I’m guessing she actually quite gets off on it. She tweeted photos of herself on vacation, and then tweets “I guess I’ll go for an ocean dip at midnight cause there are at least 30 paparazzi and @kikicaldas has disowned me.” Hmm/

Anyway, these photos were taken in Miami, where LeAnn is vacationing. According to sources, LeAnn is taking a mini vacation (without her husband and his kids) before she begins touring for her new album.

And back to the bikini photos. Dare I say she’s looking better? She got WAY too skinny there for a while, but she actually looks pretty healthy in these pictures!

Jenna Dewan-Tatum has to be one of the cutest pregnant celebrities out there – no? Maybe it’s because she gets to wake up next to Channing Tatum every day. I’m sure that counts for something.

I’d be glowing too if I was married to one of the hottest celebrities out there! The two met and fell in love while on the set of 2006′s ‘Step Up.’ Three years later they got married, and all of a sudden Channing’s career took off, including landing People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” cover in 2012.

Jenna just landed a role on the new TV series ‘Witches of East End,’ and is about to become a first time mom. Glamour Magazine sat down with the pregnant beauty and checked in with her:

On being married to an actor…

“Most actors and actresses are consumed by careers and getting ahead. Channing and I are ambitious, but our relationship comes first. We take everything day by day, saying, ‘OK, how can we make this work together?’”

On her new body…

“I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I’d freak out. But it was really gradual. There’s a reason women are pregnant for nine months; by the end, you’re ready to have this baby. Channing has been great. He takes the route of no confrontation, just support, saying things like, ‘Do whatever you want! What do you want to eat? I’m going to leave it up to you.’”

On parenting styles…

“Who knows what kind of parents we’ll be? We have two dogs, so we’ve had some practice! And as soon as this baby comes into the world, Channing and I will figure it out real fast.”

On that balance thing…

“I think, How in the world am I going to do all this? I have no idea what I’m up against. But I’m as mentally prepared as I can be. It’s an adventure!”

Love her! How do you find your work-life balance?

Gwyneth Paltrow thanks her good buddy and business partner Tracy Anderson with giving her the butt of a 22-year-old stripper!

While talking to reporters at the opening of Tracy Anderson’s flagship studio in Los Angeles, Gwyneth recalled one incident in particular when she was trying on bathing suits, and someone complimented her figure.

“I said, ‘You know, this isn’t so bad for 40, right?’” Paltrow mused of her butt. “And [my friend] goes, ‘It’s not so bad for a 22-year-old stripper!’”

Prior to going full-force with celeb trainer Anderson’s workout regimen, Paltrow claimed she was convinced that there was no way she could change her rear. “Oh, I knew it would never change!” she told reporters. “I had exercised before I had met her … I had done Ashtanga yoga and pilates and I [ran] and I thought I was fit, you know?”

But, Paltrow said, Anderson convinced her that though she was in good shape, she could transform her figure completely through the rigorous routine.

You gotta give it to her. No matter what you think about Gwyneth, her body is ridiculous. Want more proof? Check out her less-clothed pictures after the jump! More »
