Emma Stone is featured on the cover of the August issue of Vanity Fair magazine wearing nothing but a bikini and I can safely say she is looking better than ever and you can check out the behind the scenes video below.
Stone describes herself as a “Type A personality who’s trying to convince herself she’s Type B,” because she micro-manages everything and even lays her clothes and sets her coffee-maker for the morning before she goes to bed, she also tells the magazine that she deleted her Facebook because she became addicted to farmville.
On the paparazzi: “These guys try to strike up a deal with you so you feel like they’re your friend. I didn’t even know that was a thing—that people would call them.”
On not talking about her private life: “The only solution I’ve come to when it comes to things like that—the health of my family or dating, really personal things—is not to talk about it.”
Stone, who dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of acting, says that the hardest moment she has experienced in Hollywood so far was when she auditioned for Heroes and heard the producers tell Hayden Panettiere that she was perfect for the role, which Hayden ended up bagging.
You can pick up the magazine when it hits newsstands tomorrow, for now though you can enjoy the behind the scenes video below.
As with every disaster that happens the amount of douchebags that come out of the wood works and show themselves off for what they are – a douchebag, just like 50 Cent did with his tweets and Gilbert Gottfried also with his tweets. Because of these people Vanity Fair have come up with a list of the 5 most appalling videos that came out after the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. Here they are:
1. Meet YouTube user tamtampamela. She believes that “God shook the country of Japan, he literally grabbed the country by the shoulders and said, ‘Hey, look, I’m here!’” [“Literally.”—Ed.] She continues, “Oh, it’s just so amazing to see how God can just answer prayers like this.”
2. Are you there, God? It’s us, VF Daily. If we could have one prayer answered, it would be to see this lady sing about Revelation 21:8 (“the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur”) to the tune of “Baa, Baa, Blacksheep,” literally. Your basic earthquake-is-a-sign-from-God response plus one orange T-shirt.
3. If Godzilla could destroy anything it’d be this video. Well, technically it would be the first video in the list, but he would get to this one, too.
4. Be sure to listen to this with your earphones on, please. “American manners,” O.K.? This lady has the following things to say about “Asians in the library”: “I swear, they’re going through their whole families, just checking on everybody from the tsunami thing—I mean, I know, O.K., that sounds horrible, like, I feel bad for all people affected by the tsunami, but if you’re gonna go call your address book, you might as well go outside because if something is wrong, you might really freak out if you’re in the library and everyone’s quiet.”
5. And now, a quick reprieve from the horrors of the four previous videos: the requisite (but brilliant) parodic defense of the library screed. “I mean, you see the thing that I just don’t get: I mean like, she said, ‘I want no one to take offense to this.’”
One word – douchebags.

You can see the full 40 top players in Hollywood at the source below, and by the way there is only 2 women in the top 20 – Jennifer Aniston at 18 and Twilight’s Kristen Stewart at 13. Sexism is still well and alive in Hollywood.
The whole Glee stars on the cover of GQ Magazine has caused a lot of controversy over the past few days because people view it as too racy, hell The Parents Television Council even compared it to pedophilia. But here is 7 covers that are more racier than the Glee cover, according to BuddyTV.
True Blood on Rolling Stone
Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard appeared naked and splattered in blood in a very racy, sexually disturbing cover.
Jennifer Aniston on GQ
If you want a racy magazine cover you need to shed a whole lot of clothes, and Jennifer Aniston took off everything but a necktie for this one.
Demi Moore on Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair broke the mold when they dared to put a nude, very pregnant Demi Moore on their cover.
Britney Spears on Rolling Stone
In April 1999, when Spears was just 17 years old, Rolling Stone came out with this cover. Not only was the photo a lot racier than the one for Glee, but the girl was actually a teenager, not just playing one on TV.
Kim Kardashian on W
It’s all about Kim, and this nude cover with very thin bars that barely cover the naughty bits is certainly more racy than anything Glee has ever done.
The Dixie Chicks on Entertainment Weekly
When the Dixie Chicks caused a commotion by criticizing then-President Bush, this cover exposed them, literally.
Lady Gaga on Rolling Stone
Very revealing and fully loaded, this cover certainly brought out the big guns.
Some of these aren’t racy at all in my opinion, check out the thumbnails below to see some I think are racier than the Glee cover so I would add them to this list.

Lindsay Lohan is featured on the cover and in the October 2010 issue of Vanity Fair magazine, she gave an interview right before she headed to jail and as always it’s full of denial and placing the blame on to everybody else.
On denying abusing drugs: “I’ve never abused prescription drugs. I never have—never in my life. I have no desire to. That’s not who I am. I’ve admitted to the things that I’ve done—to, you know, dabbling in certain things and trying things ’cause I was young and curious and thought it was like, O.K., ’cause other people were doing it and other people put it in front of me. And I see what happened in my life because of it.”
On her alcohol addiction: “If I were the alcoholic everyone says I am, then putting a [SCRAM] bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room, because I would have had to come down from all the things that people say I’m taking and my father says I’m taking—so that says something, because I was fine.”
On the people she used to hang around with: “So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party.”
On wanting her career back: “I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress. And I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible but that’s what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes. I want my career back. I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It’s not fun anyway.”
On moving to Hollywood when she was young: “It was very go-go-go and I had a lot of responsibility; and I think just the second I didn’t have structure anymore I was 18, 19 with a ton of money and no one really here to tell me that I couldn’t do certain things … And I see where that’s gotten me now, and I don’t like it.”
If you smell terrible right now it’s not your co-worker farting, it’s just the strong stench of bullshit coming from Lindsay Lohan‘s mouth. Until this girl takes some responsibility for her actions she will always be fucked up.

For some reason I was always under the impression that Vanity Fair was actually a classy magazine, that was until I discovered they featured some of Tiger Woods‘ mistress in a photo spread. Take a look below, but be careful you might catch something.
Loredana Jolie Ferriolo says she met Tiger Woods through “a matchmaking agency,†and that he paid $15,000 for their first date.
Mindy Lawton worked at the Perkins Restaurant & Bakery near Woods’s home in Windermere, Florida, and frequently served him breakfast. She says that reporters for The National Enquirer began following her after they learned about her affair with the golfer.
Michelle Braun ran what was arguably one of the world’s premier escort services, until the feds shut her down last year. She says she provided Woods with women in various cities on a regular basis.
Jamie Jungers says she was introduced to Woods by a V.I.P. host at a nightclub in Las Vegas. Their 18-month affair ended, she says, when he refused to help her financially.
So basically if you screw a married celebrity you can get your own spread in a fashion magazine, I don’t even know what to say other than this is really annoying.
Monica Bellucci maybe six months pregnant but she is featured on the latest cover of Italian Vanity Fair showing off her growing baby bump in just her underwear.
The 45-year-old also opened up about deciding to have another child, despite how most women are told not to have children at a later age.
On planning her second child: “They told me to have a second child just right after Deva, but I didn’t feel ready. And when I felt ready, I was hoping to have it quickly. But children are not movies that you can organize around a table with a director or a producer.”
On having a child at 45:’”Women who have children late like me are always told how brave they are and it’s true that the older you are the more risks you run both for the child and yourself. But I don’t feel brave I just feel very lucky. I already have a healthy daughter who I gave birth to in Umbria (Italian region) like an ordinary farm wife. This second pregnancy is just as fantastic but I wouldn’t say I was an example to follow.”
On having a natural conception: “Maybe it’s because my paternal grandmother had a child at 47 years old but I think I’m just lucky. I know women who would cross the desert on their knees to have a child. Maybe if that had happened to me and I had difficulty then I would have become one of them.”
I always get a bit freaked out when I see pregnant women posing in their underwear but Monica Bellucci is still extremely hot.

Usually trapped behind a public veil of un-acknowledgment and elephants in rooms, Anderson Cooper’s boyfriend Benjamin Maisani made his big debut at Vanity Fair’s Oscar party.
But miraculously, his name managed to escape the photo agency’s captions.
The Getty-owned WireImage agency took this picture of Cooper, the Seinfelds, and the back of what appears to be Maisani’s head in what is the closest thing to visual confirmation of the pair attending together.
The arrival of the CNN newsman and the East Village gay bar owner together is a milestone because the party was a “very public event,” notes Brian Moylan.
Which is true, in a sense: All eyes are on the party, and there’s a massive photo dump going on in real-time as photographers snap away at guest arrivals and such, uploading pictures to WireImage’s servers before offloading them to People.com and other high bidders.
Why so serious Anderson?

Monica Bellucci graces the latest edition of Italy’s Vanity Fair with her gorgeous baby bump.
The 45-year-old Matrix star is set to welcome her second daughter this spring. Already mom to 5-year-old daughter Deva, Monica opens up about having a child in her mid 40s and her “beautiful and simple pregnancy.”
On waiting to have her second child: “They told me to have a second child just right after Deva, but I didn’t feel ready. And when I felt ready, I was hoping to have it quickly. But children are not movies that you can organize around a table with a director or a producer.”
On conceiving her children naturally: “I didn’t need [fertility treatments and surrogate mothers]. Who knows, maybe my grandma having a child at 47 has something to do with it. It’s about luck. I know women ready to cross the desert on their knees to have a child. If I had problems [with conceiving], I’d be one of themâ€
On her husband Vincent Cassel: “Vincent is helping. The more time passes by, the more I love the man he has become. When I met him he was a 28-year-old boy, now he’s a man with a great sense of responsibility who makes me feel good. Deva needs him as she needs me. I always think that if something happens to me, Vincent is gonna be with our daughters. A woman can say ‘I’ll have kids on my own,’ and lots of women do it, but having a partner beside enriches both us and the children.”
On natural childbirth: “I’ll want to talk and scream in Italian when I deliver.”

Anna Friel is hot, sexy and gorgeous there is no other words to describe her.
Well you can add another word to that list – giving. Yes she is very giving because in the August 2009 issue of Vanity Fair magazine, she goes topless.
The cover says she is “in pearls… and a minimal amount of silk and lace.” Hot. Enjoy these pictures, the nsfw photos of Anna Friel will be after the jump.
For some reason Vanity Fair have decided to put Jessica Simpson both on the cover and featured in the new issue of their magazine.
For the past year she hasn’t been looking too good but I have to be honest and say in some of these pictures she does look cute, probably thanks to photoshop but oh well. Here are some bits from her interview:
On her relationship with her dad/manager Joe Simpson: “If I’m going for advice for anything in my life, I go straight to my father because he has the answers. I can talk to my dad like he’s my manager, and put ‘Dad’ on the back burner. We’ve been doing it since I was 13. So, at this point, we’re in a good rhythm. A lot of people find it strange, but it’s the only way I know. And I don’t care to know another way, because it suits me. And we’ve done a pretty dang good job.”
On the medias treatment of her: “When it comes to media criticism, that’s just something I have had to train myself – literally train myself – to ignore. Because I’m the one up there onstage, and I can feel the energy of the crowd. And I know when I did good. And I know when I did great. And there wasn’t one time on this tour when I felt like I butchered it. I mean, the way people make it sound, I should have never been singing in the first place. It comes with what I do and I know that every day the media’s going to challenge me, is going to want to bring me down. But I feel like I’m at such a place that I own myself, and it’s authentic. I own that authentic part of myself, and none of those words are harsh enough to make me believe them. I can’t imagine saying some of the things people have said about me about anybody else.”
On her faith: “I’m spiritual. I live off the faith that has been instilled in me, that has never left. I’ve never let a stumbling block actually make me fall. We all go through trials, but not one thing has ever made me question God. I have a great relationship with God. I can talk to him, get mad at him, frustrated with him. But, ultimately, my faith is what defines me.”
On her business: “The Jessica Simpson Collection is a $400 million business. My mom and I are creative directors. We have hundreds of people working, but nothing gets by us. It’s adorable and it’s affordable. What’s amazing right now, during this recession, is that, somehow, the business keeps growing.”
On ex husband Nick Lachey and Newlyweds: “I have not spoken to him in years. In all honesty, I believe it did not affect our marriage, Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish. It made me understand what marriage is, what love is, what commitment is.”

Even though the rest of the country is in a recession, Madonna brought out the bling for the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party.
They don’t call her the “Material Girl” for nothing, you know. She earned the nickname last night as she literally piled on the diamonds for the post-Oscar festivities.
She was seen wearing millions of dollars worth of Neil Lane diamonds to the Vanity Fair post-Oscar bash.
Here’s a run-down of the jewelry she was sporting, along with those big guns:
• A black and white diamond chain with 500 carats of the shiny stones
• A diamond bangle with 25 carats of diamonds and platinum
• An onyx and diamond bracelet with 50 carats of diamonds
• A pair of diamond pear shape earrings of 20 carats each
• A square diamond and onyx ring
And if that wasn’t enough, she piled on even more diamond jewelry for her private party. She was said to have put on a cross and chain with 100 carats of diamonds, along with bracelets with 50 carats of diamonds, long diamond earrings worth $1 million and a gigantic diamond and platinum ring.
It’s all borrowed, of course, but it was a bit of overkill.
