Bruce Willis covers Esquire June/ July 2012 without the wiglet he re-gifted to his baby girl (same hairline, different day). His interview is pretty much what you would expect from the 57-year-old. There’s something about the fit of a Saville Row suit and how it breathes when you’re shimmying through ventilation shafts that I left out in favour of the insipid cooing because BABIES EDITION.
I can’t say I’m surprised that Adele’s British Vogue Magazine October 2011 cover didn’t sell. Although, I am a little surprised that this information comes from a named Vogue UK editor who’s happy to throw the cover under the bus because ‘music stars haven’t sold at all well.’ Editor Alexandra Shulman admitted during ToMax talks Fashion & Fantasy in London yesterday that Adele’s cover is one of the worst-sellers of all time. ‘Adele is the most popular woman in the world, but one of the worst sellers we’ve ever had,’ said Shulman. ‘I find there has to be a relationship with the person on the cover that goes beyond how they look. Our most successful cover was the millennium issue, which didn’t have anyone on it, but acted like a mirror so you could see your own reflection.’
Charlize Theron covers InStyle June 2012 because Kristen Stewart can only curse through so many interviews at one time. Theron is gushing about her baby boy in the interview some more because he’s the real crux of this promotional trail.
I’d forgotten about Elizabeth Banks, since I guess she wasn’t on my radar at all before The Hunger Games and now that’s old news. But she’s in What To Expect When You’re Expecting too. So here’s the only piece of promo I’ve really seen from her on a promotional trail that’s relied on nulliparous Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship with The Choreographer. I’m MEH about Banks and I’m not in love with a shoot where it looks like she’s got Novacane mouth.
Jessica Alba covers the June 2012 issue of Marie Claire for which she gives an interview about spending the first half of her career in a bikini. The 31-year-old says she spent a lot of her career being ‘objectified’ which made her ‘uncomfortable.’ Which is ‘bulls**t,’ because no one forced her to take those roles and she had on her big girl panties, at 19, in Dark Angel, so she knew the score. In any case, her interview, shoot, and behind-the-scenes video are below.
Tom Cruise covers W Magazine June 2012, for which there’s now an extensive photo shoot although the interview snippets are meager. The 49-year-old tells the magazine of his role in Rock Of Ages: ‘I knew we had to push the sexuality because of the nature of the character and the songs.’ Explaining why he chose a musical, he continues: ’Kate loves musicals. She sings and dances, and we kind of went through the history of musicals together. And Suri loved Hairspray. With kids, you watch everything over and over; I watched Hairspray 15 times with Suri.’ He says his love of music started years ago: ‘You know what? I did the scene from Risky Business around the house. I would sing… and I’d turn the music up. I learned how to dance watching Soul Train. I noticed that if a guy could dance, he’d get a lot of attention and girls would want to dance with him. I worked very hard at imitating those moves.’ And that’s about it, because W spent more time waxing and man-scaping than it did interviewing the actor. But Playboy picked up the slack with its own interview. Not counting the facials or other non-surgical procedures from before John Travolta scared off the help, Cruise tells Playboy he never has and ‘never would’ tweak the face Xenu gave him. The W photo shoot and excerpts from the Playboy interview are below.
