“No, I think looking back, I’m actually more pleased that I did it, because I got it out of my system. And I think it was very brave, in the face of a lot of closed minds.

—James McAvoy to Marie Claire Keep reading »
“I hired trip ropers for roping lessons for my cowgirl show. I hired a bull rider to teach me how to ride my mechanical-bull lipstick. And yeah, I smoked opium the traditional way to ‘get a feel’ for my Opium Den show. Research!”

“We were together for about 20 hours and I would say 15 of those hours were working on Kate trying to convince her to cut her bangs. I felt like she was hiding behind that front piece. My haircuts are $950. The color would have been about $500, and the extensions, which were great length extensions, would probably cost about $5000. I wanted to make sure I took her from being really ordinary to really extraordinary!”

And I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don’t mess with things like that. I guess deep down, I really felt like either [pregnancy] is not going to happen for me or it is. You know what I mean? And if it is, it will. And if it’s not, it’s not going to.”
– Jennifer Lopez opens up to Elle about her traditional views on building a family. [Us Weekly] Keep reading »
