Drew Barrymore Hid For a "Solid Six Weeks" After Her Daughter's Birth

Maria Mercedes Lara — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:40:00 EST

Drew Barrymore displays her new-mother glow on the cover of US Harper's Bazaar's March issue. Inside the publication, Drew talked about her new makeup line, Flower. She also touched on more personal topics, including how she is trying to find a balance between her public life and the private life she wants for her newborn daughter, Olive. Here are highlights from Drew Barrymore in Harper's Bazaar:

On keeping her daughter's birth under wraps: "I definitely needed some time. 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. [However], 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."
On her CoverGirl LashBlast commercials: "I didn't want a cold campaign with severe messaging. I wanted warmth and acceptance and self-love. Nobody's in gold rain or running through a jungle with their lipstick on. It was just me and some great music on a white background. That's every girl, in her closet getting ready."
On her favorite things: "I live for makeup and I like wine. These are my truths!"

Meghan Rooney — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:39:20 EST

Selena Gomez covered up her bikini with a jersey to pose for Nylon magazine's February issue. Selena's love life has been in headlines recently. She broke up with boyfriend Justin Bieber and already has a rumoured new love interest, Luke Bracey. She and Luke spent a night out together at a Golden Globes after-party on Monday. Selena will soon hit the big screen in Spring Breakers alongside James Franco and Vanessa Hudgens. Selena shows off her bikini body in the official trailer for the film, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival.

Inside the February issue of the magazine, Selena addresses how the film helped her break out of her professional bubble thanks to Spring Breakers and director Harmony Korine. Selena Gomez told Nylon, "It was my first audition in years. I definitely felt that with my first stepping-out role, I should choose something that I could understand a little more. I was really nervous, but Harmony took a chance with me. He said, 'You live in this bubble, and I'm going to take you out of it, but you have to trust me.'"

Kristen Stewart Says, "I'm a Sensitive, Normal Girl"

Maria Mercedes Lara — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 07:36:02 EST

Kristen Stewart was photographed by Inez & Vinoodh for the cover of V Magazine's Spring Preview 2013 issue. In an interview with the magazine, Kristen spoke about her film On the Road, which is available for DVD release next month. In particular, Kristen opened up about Marylou, the wild teen bride she portrays in the movie, and the difficulties and responsibilities that come with playing a character on screen. Here are highlights from Kristen Stewart in V magazine:

On her On the Road character, Marylou: "Until you really get to know the woman behind the character, it's difficult to connect the dots. I'm a contemporary, sensitive, normal girl, and it's difficult to try and empathise with someone who seems to have a lack of empathy. She seems a bit callous in the book."
On her new attitude: "I have realised that you can close yourself off to life if you put walls up, but it's a difficult thing. So I've gotten quite comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing: it's not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them."
On her responsibility as an actress: "It's a pretty f**king odd thing to want to pretend to be another person and then have a lot of other people who watch you do that. You have this experience of reading something, and if you don't bring it to life, you're basically deleting it. The responsibility is amazing."
