Heidi Klum Allure Magazine April 2010 Pictures

Amy Grindhouse — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:53:17 +0000

Heidi Klum stars in a photo shoot for the April 2010 issue of Allure magazine.

The 36-year-old mother-of-four is thinner and hotter than she has ever been, and inspires other mothers who don’t return to a teenage waistline after birth to drink the Kool-Aid. Heck, I don’t have no damn babies and these photos make me want to turn back the spiteful hands of time, and re-gain my pre-pubescent waist measurement. Oh, another thing, she appears to have a spider on her leg in this photo. So I don’t think aggressively swatting her leg with a rolled up newspaper would be uncalled for. See her pics, and snippets from her interview.

On taking care of her skin: “I learned not to go in the sun early on in my career. A tan lasts for a week or two before it fades, and the sun is so damaging—it’s not worth it. I put sunscreen on my kids every day before school and before they play outside. They know the routine.”
On ageing: “You have to think about your whole body when you think about aging. In general, you have to be strong—and that starts with nutrition. I have a glass of milk with dinner every night. When I’m pregnant, I drink a liter of whole milk a day my trainer would say that’s crazy. It works for me.
On stretch marks: “I didn’t get stretch marks during my pregnancies, and I wasn’t even moisturizing myself like a maniac.”
On how she’s raising her family: “I’m quite energetic, and I also have sweet children who don’t care that I just had another kid. They want to be into things and be loved and go in Ma’s bed when they get up early in the morning. So I’m always juggling the family and life with my husband.”

Gisele Bundchen in Vogue Magazine April 2010

Amy Grindhouse — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:32:07 +0000

I am aware that as I am writing/ publishing this, legions of mothers around the world are getting their Weapons Grade Ghetto on and kicking some serious ass. So, as I inform you that Gisele Bundchen seems to be showing off about only gaining 30-pounds of baby-related weight, finding it super easy to shake it off afterward, I would like to publicly denounce any rioting. I also take no blame for any murders that take place in my name. That said, I’m child-free, and I feel like I need to jump up and high kick this chick in her (perfect) face, for the things she says about her experiences of being pregnant. Could her birth have been anymore annoyingly perfect? She is the star of Vogue’s cover, photo shoot, behind-the-scenes video, and enormously long interview; all are below.

Bundchen opens up about gaining so little baby weight, staying in shape during her pregnancy, birth, where her son was born, and going back to work.

Benjamin [Brady], her son with husband Tom Brady, was born at their Boston penthouse last December, in warm water in a deep bathtub that overlooks the Charles River: “I wanted to experience the transformation,” Bundchen, 29, explains, squashing rumors that she gave birth at a Boston-area hospital.
A friend from Brazil served as a mid-wife, and both her mother and Brady, 31, were present. Through the birth, she says she meditated: “It was the most amazing experience of my life, feeling him come through my body,” she says. “And once he was born, I never felt so empowered as looking at him and thinking, Oh, my God, we did it together!”
Initially, she and Brady bickered over the baby’s name: “I wanted him to be called River because I wanted something always flowing, immortal,” she says. “My husband said, ‘There’s no way we’re going to call him River.’ But my father’s name is Reinoldo, so it’s a homage to him. And it’s like water.”
During her pregnancy, she says she “gained only 30 pounds”; it wasn’t hard to get her pre-baby body back, especially since she exercised regularly right up until she gave birth: “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week,” she says.
Bundchen also says she was “mindful” about what she ate: “I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals.”
While expecting, Bundchen says she purposely stayed out of the public eye: “I felt like my pregnancy was a sacred moment for me … I didn’t work apart from the contracts I have, and then I only let them use my face.”
Her reaction to going back to work, for an advertising client, shortly after the birth: “I got to the studio and I felt like I was E.T.. Whoa, what’s going on? Hair and makeup? I hadn’t looked at myself in a mirror for a month-and-a-half. I’d been in my house, in a cocoon with my kids, my husband, my dogs. Usually, as I walk through the door into that atmosphere, I already feel different. There’s a button that goes On and I’m On. And when I go On, there is almost no me; there is just a character who is doing all this. This time it wasn’t like that. I’ve been really inside with my husband and my baby, and everything is changed. But the client still deserves respect and professionalism, and I got a little bit concerned because I wasn’t feeling it. Makeup was done, hair was done, and I looked in the mirror and I still wasn’t seeing the person who’s a model. For the first time, I think I actually saw me, the inside, instead of the persona.”

Madonna and Dolce & Gabbana MDG Sunglasses

Amy Grindhouse — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:35:27 +0000

Madonna is designing eyewear for Dolce & Gabanna. I wish she were just designing regular eyeglasses, so that I could shoehorn in a joke about how she needs the glasses to find little orphan children to steal/ find oily quasi-DJs to molest. She has no reason to make life that much easier for me, and she hasn’t.

The sunglasses, which bear the letter M on the arm, mark the first co-branded collaboration that the design duo [D&G] has ever undertaken. Madonna, who fronts this season’s Dolce & Gabbana campaign, also stars in the advertising images. They were shot by Steven Klein, and will be released in May to coincide with the launch. [All About Madonna]

She’s branching out with her fashion designing, following creative projects like her line at H&M that saw stores damn near raped by over-excitable fans who wanted to get a piece of their idol. I always expect to hate these things, as they’re almost always lazily slapped together and look like twice ran over, dried, you know what. But these aren’t hideous. I’ll have you know, these aren’t hideous at all. It’s a revelation! Pics above show her modelling, and close-ups.

Jennifer Aniston & Gerard Butler W April 2010

Amy Grindhouse — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:20:46 +0000

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler cover W magazine’s April 2010 issue.

The pair are on the cover, with Butler holding Aniston as she sits on his lap.

The Bounty Hunter movie co-stars, aged 41 and 40 (though Aniston is looking arguably younger than 41), were photographed by Steven Klein on a ranch about 45-minutes outside of Los Angeles in mid-January. He plays a cop, and she plays a foxy couture underwear-clad robber running away from the effort of putting on some clothes. There will be seven photographs in their 13-page-long spread.

According to Just Jared she wears an Alberta Ferretti silk chiffon dress, Carine Gilson Lingerie Couture’s silk bra and silk lace briefs, Stella McCartney garters and Lanvin shoes. The article and more photos from the spread will follow. For now, the only details from the W magazine shoot are from Aniston’s hair stylist.

Jen’s hair stylist, Chris McMillan, told the magazine he left her hair dirty for the shoot. “It just created a nice chunky texture,” he said. “The key to Jennifer’s hair is no matter what you do with it — straight, frizzy, dirty — it looks like it actually grows out of her head. She’s someone for whom her hair doesn’t wear her, she wears it.” [The Huffington Post]

The issue will be on newsstands Friday March 19, 2010, of next week.

Kourtney Kardashian & Scott Disick’s Footwear

Amy Grindhouse — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:11:53 +0000

Okay, so this is going to be less about the footwear or other fashions of new mother Kourtney Kardashian. And it’s going to be more about her ridiculously oily boyfriend, Scott Disick. Disick and his girlfriend got photographed, as the pair walked together in Miami, Florida, on their way to eat at the Prime Hotel.

Kardashian is in town to film for reality show Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. They don’t need to film Kardashian’s new mother boobs for the show. They just need to film an entire season of Disick’s stupid choices of footwear. They can start with the above, what my photo agency just calls animal print footwear. That’s like calling Crocs sandals. Wholly inaccurate, and wrong on many levels.

Oscar Red Carpet: 2010 Academy Awards Pics

Amy Grindhouse — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:08:04 +0000

The 82nd annual Academy Awards took place on the night of Sunday March, 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Check below for the red carpet arrivals, of those who attended and looked either sharp as heck or like they’d rolled out of bed and wedged themselves into the nearest couture. The ceremony was slightly more interesting than usual, with the advent of two actors hosting/ opening the show who were an absolute hoot during the height of their popularity in the 1800s (okay, I admit it, that may have been a typo maybe but it stays).

Pictures of Ryan Seacrest, Mariska Hargitay, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Paula Patton and Robin Thicke, Zac Efron, Amanda Seyfried, Tina Fey, Zoe Saldana, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Rachel McAdams, Sigourney Weaver, Kristin Stewart, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Queen Latifah, Robert Downey Jr and Susan Downey, Keanu Reeves, Matt Damon, and Luciana Barroso, Kate Winslet, Jeff Bridges, Gabourey Sidibe, Sanda Bullock, Miley Cyrus, Suzy Amis and James Cameron, George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis, Cameron Diaz, Carey Mulligan, Demi Moore, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jennifer Lopez, below.

Taylor Swift Elle Magazine April 2010 Cover Pics

Amy Grindhouse — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:54:52 +0000

Taylor Swift covers the April 2010 issue of Elle magazine’s US edition.

The Grammy-winning singer is actually the star of two covers for Elle, the second of which can be found below. In the issue, she manages to avoid saying anything scandalous. Or wearing anything scandalous. Or doing anything remotely noteworthy. She’s so deliciously vanilla with everything she does, you kind of wish she would just go buck wild for once and strip in the middle of a shoot or something. No such luck. She only really talks about how having at least half-a-dozen paparazzi shoved up her backside, at any give time, stops her from making mistakes and how she gets material for her songs from her relationships.

Her interview, second cover, a pic from her shoot, and behind-the-scenes video.

On who she thinks is hot: “Um, well…Taylor Lautner.”
On if she’s fearless: “I overthink everything. I overanalyze everything.”
On one of her biggest fears: “Me making a bunch of bad decisions and embarking on a painful, slow, devastating tailspin.”
On media scrutiny: “I’ve had countless opportunities to do some really bad things. And then people start combing through everything I do trying to find the next mistake and misperception, which leads to more scrutiny. Like, if I go to a bar, even if I’m not drinking, who’s to say that a source isn’t going to say that I was doing something I shouldn’t have been doing? So it’s not only about your own moral compass, but the moral compasses of other people that you don’t know.”
On yearning to visit Nashville as a child: “I just got it into my head that there was this magical place that I needed to go to because that was where dreams come true.”
On sourcing material from her romantic relationships: “I like to categorize the various levels of heartbreak. I’ve only had that happen once. A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums.”

Chloe Sevigny for Elle UK Magazine April 2010

Amy Grindhouse — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:43:49 +0000

Chloe Sevigny covers the April 2010 issue of Elle UK magazine. She looks rather subdued, and not as crazy-ass as she usually does in all her other photo shoots. In fact, seeing her look this toned down is kind of like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs. Or like seeing Lady GaGa without all the weird crap she usually wears.

Chloe Sevigny on how hard it is to find a man: Men are intimidated by me… My friends say, ‘You have to find someone more famous and successful than you, or someone who’s so happy with their own life they can handle the attention you get. I want to be worshipped and adored, but then again I also love to be ignored. Hurgh! It’s the same old, same old.
On the future: Getting older doesn’t bother me at all. Well, other than the baby pressure. I do want to have a baby.” [OK Magazine UK]

Kirsten Dunst V Magazine #64 Spring 2010 Pics

Amy Grindhouse — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:28:43 +0000

Snaggletoof covers the latest classy issue of V magazine. My beloved Kirsten Dunst manages not to snag her teefs on the fancy outfit she’s wearing, as she pulls her modelling 101 pose out of her butt (see video for tutorial). The photos for these magazine covers are always breathtaking. Actually, V magazine covers are pretty much the only ones I care about, or that I am excited to see. Mainly as they have so much work that goes into them, clearly. But also they’re so heavily stylised and they pick really great people. Unlike some less-prestigious mags.

Video showing how one would pose, should one be a 16-year-old amateur model.

The additional V Kirsten Dunst covers, for issue #64, and her spread, below.
