Directed by Daniel Espinosa, "Safe House" hits theaters this Friday, February 10th.

February 7, 2012 at 6:51 PM

During a recent interview for the Television Association Winter Session, Kidman explained that she prefers to keep her personal life out of the spotlight.

The respectable actress told, "Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people's lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions. I think having my life be as private and quiet as possible is a way in which then I can go and play characters. I like the privacy of my life and I protect it quite vigilantly."

   
   
Miley Cyrus Comes to the Defense of Same-Sex Marriage
February 7, 2012 at 6:11 PM
 

She's never been one to hold back when it comes to topics she's passionate about, and Miley Cyrus voiced her positions on numerous issues for the March 2012 issue of Glamour.

Definitely upset after Prop 8 was struck down today (February 7) in California, the 20-year-old "LOL: Laughing Out Loud" actress offered up a passionate defense for same-sex marriage in the magazine while also talking about the rights of Americans and her boycott of Urban Outfitters.

Highlights from Miley's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Glamour!

On the reaction to her tattoo picture on twitter:
"When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my twitter page and said, "All LOVE is equal," a lot of people mocked me – they said, "What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!" And I said, "Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love." The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, "Dude, everyone lay off." Can't people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?"

On her defense of same-sex marriage:
"I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?"

On her boycott of Urban Outfitters:
"One day I read online about the head of Urban Outfitters donating to a presidential candidate who does not support equality for everyone. I was shocked and disappointed that a company with such diversity would exclude such a large group of people. I can no longer bring myself to shop there."

On her father, Billy Rae Cyrus' beliefs:
"We all should be tolerant of one another and embrace our differences. My dad [country singer Billy Rae Cyrus], who is a real man's man, lives on the farm and is as Southern and straight as they come. He loves my gay friends and even supports same-sex marriage. If my father can do it, anyone can."

On the rights of Americans:
"This is America, the nation of dreams. We're so proud of that. And yet certain people are excluded. It's just not right."

Ke$ha Gets a Make-Under for Glamour March 2012
February 7, 2012 at 5:23 PM
 

She's been busy putting together her second studio album ahead of its expected May release date, but Ke$ha made a little time to partake in a feature for the March 2012 issue of Glamour.

The "We R Who We R" hitmaker got a make-under for her mini photo shoot while talking with the magazine about everything from succeeding as a female rock-star to her future in the music industry.

Highlights from Ke$ha's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Glamour!

On succeeding as a female rock-star:
"I know that I have balls. I have bigger balls than a lot of the men that I meet. I'm just a ballsy motherf—ker. I'm not afraid of pushing boundaries. That's what you have to do to become an icon."

On her onstage and real life humor:
"I'm just very amused by five-year-old humor. Don't get me wrong: I do destroy men on a weekly basis. It's like a hobby. I'm like a praying mantis. They f—k me, and then I eat them. But who isn't amused by a giant, dancing penis? Sometimes when I'm sad, I make my assistant put on the penis outfit and bounce around my house."

On her love of body-paint:
"Oh, the body paint stays. It's my favorite thing to do. Sometimes I have parties at my house in Nashville and it's clothing-optional, and we just body-paint each other and run around, and I have a giant bed. I'm very much in touch with that side of myself."

On getting photographed without makeup:
"My makeup is usually left over from the night before. I'm not really worried about the photographs because if I tell my fans not to give a f—k about the haters, then I have to practice what I preach. I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them."

On her future in the music industry:
"Eventually, I would love to be on my deathbed and looked at as an icon. Right now I'm still at the baby stages of my career. But that is the goal."

   
   
Khloe Kardashian Talks Sex Swing, Baby Possibility
February 7, 2012 at 5:04 PM
 

Making her way back home to Los Angeles, Khloe Kardashian flew into LAX Airport from Dallas on Monday night (February 6).

The E! reality star made the trip to do a little promotional work ahead of the February 19th season two premiere of her spinoff show "Khloe & Lamar," which airs at 10PM on E!.

Talking with E! News about the first episode, Khloe revealed that the footage shows her efforts of installing a sex swing atop her and Lamar's bed due to the fact that he seemed disinterested in the love-making department.

"Having an NBA lockout, I think it really made him depressed," Kardashian said of the situation. "And that affected us in other areas, which I didn't realize until later. I was trying to overcompensate, like entertain him more. I was always trying to make him happy. I would think, 'This would made him happy.'"

Khloe also threw out an interesting statement, possibly hinting at something she already knows, as she told E!, "Dallas might bring me a baby," while failing to go into further detail.

Lana Del Rey Postpones Tour
February 7, 2012 at 4:19 PM
 

After receiving harsh criticism from her recent performance on "Saturday Night Live," Lana Del Rey has decided to postpone her music tour.

It is being reported that the "Blue Jeans" singer is looking to sharpen her performance skills while moving onward and upward from the "SNL" incident before setting out on the road in support of her Born to Die album.

"[Lana] and her manager decided to cancel [the tour] after 'SNL,'" a source told Page Six. "They figure it allows time for her to clear her head, then go back to selling tickets. More importantly, they figure, the extra time gives them more distance from 'SNL.'"

Del Rey's next scheduled performance is set for a Grammy event honoring Interscope head Jimmy Iovine this week.

   
   
Daniel Radcliffe Premieres "The Woman In Black" in Paris
February 7, 2012 at 3:48 PM
 

Taking to Europe as he continues to promote his latest movie, Daniel Radcliffe grabbed up the spotlight at the Paris premiere of "The Woman In Black" on Tuesday night (February 7).

The 22-year-old looked snazzy in a grey suit with a yellow tie as he boosted interest in the James Watkins directed horror/thriller ahead of its French release date of March 14th.

The appearance comes as Radcliffe recently voiced his disappointment over "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" receiving only three technical nominations for the Academy Awards.

Venting over the snub to Radio Times, Daniel said, "I don't think the Oscars like commercial films, or kids' films, unless they're directed by Martin Scorsese. I was watching Hugo the other day and going, 'Why is this nominated and we're not?' I was slightly miffed."

He added, "There's a certain amount of snobbery. It's kind of disheartening. I never thought I'd care. But it would've been nice to have some recognition, just for the hours put in."

"I like wearing clothes that look quite put-together. Shirts buttoned all the way up, fitted trousers."

On her most extravagant purchase of a Marni coat:
"I was obsessed with Marni, so efvery birthday and Christmas, my parents would give me gift certificates and I would save them up. To this day, it's my favorite purchase."

On leaning on her sisters to look better:
"I've always borrowed from my sisters, but more now as I have more occasions to go to. They've promised to make me a dress if I get to go to any huge award shows this season."

February 7, 2012 at 1:11 PM
 

He's a pro at dodging questions in which he doesn't want to answer, and George Clooney did just that during a recent interview.

The Insider's Brooke Anderson caught up with the "Men Who Stare at Goats" stud poolside at the Oscar Nominee Luncheon on Monday (February 6).

When asked by Anderson about having children, quick-witted Clooney told, "I want to adopt Shailene [Woodley]. Because she's 20 and smart, and I figure she has a big career ahead and can support me. So, I'm looking to adopt very successful people."

Marcia Cross Covers Easy Living March 2012
February 7, 2012 at 12:23 PM
 

She's in the midst of the final season of her long-running series "Desperate Housewives," and Marcia Cross landed the cover of the March 2012 issue of Easy Living.

The 49-year-old Bree Van de Kamp actress posed for a lovely Robert Erdmann shot spread lining the publication's pages while chatting about having undergone fertility treatment, her charitable work and turning the big 5-0 this year.

Highlights from Marcia's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Easy Living!

On being too understated to be ostentatious:
"I'm very New England [i.e. conservative] about money. I don't buy designer clothes, though I love the 1920s theme of the Easy Living shoot so much, I'm tempted to go on a spending spree!"

On undergoing fertility treatment right after her wedding day:
"I always knew I wanted to be a mom. Before I met Tom, I was trying to get pregnant with the sperm donor, who was a dear friend of mine, from my hometown in Massachusetts. But that didn't work out, I was hitting my 40s and thinking, this is not good. I wanted to experience being a mother so much, partly because my own parents did such great job

On her priorities when it comes to health and beauty:
"when you have kids it's no longer about you. I have no time for the gym. [But] I'm religious about removing makeup and wearing sunscreen. Also, any time a new beauty treatment comes out, we all joke on set that we have to try it – we say we'll do anything as long as it doesn't involve a knife! I never say no to surgery in the future, as I feel like, as I get older, I'm going to face it [temptation] more."

On turning 50:
"Turning 50 is huge... It's monumental. But not in terms of beauty. People spend so much time talking about turning 50 in the sense of turning grey or eyes starting to droop, but what most people fail to talk about is that it means your time is running out. It's about recognizing how precious time is. That's why I'm not looking to find another TV series at the moment."

On helping charitable causes:
"I feel an obligation to give back. What's been hard for me as an actress is understanding that putting on a dress and makeup, which I don't like doing that much, and showing up actually supports charities... Before, I used to do much more volunteer work, which felt more meaningful."

   
   
Sarah Michelle Gellar: Banned From Visiting Eli Manning
February 7, 2012 at 12:04 PM
 

Stepping out for a promo appearance, Sarah Michelle Gellar was spotted at SiriusXM Studios in New York City on Tuesday (February 7).

Having quite the busy week, Miss Gellar dropped by the "Late Show with David Letterman" the previous evening - during which time she revealed that security barred her from saying hello to Letterman's other guest of the night, Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

Chatting about the ordeal, the light-hearted star explained, "His security wouldn't let me near him. It was weird."

She added, "I was trying. I was like, 'No really, I'm just a big fan.' I think that's where I went wrong. 'I just want an autograph and a lock of his hair!' But they said 'no.' Awkward."

Meanwhile, Miss Bullock recently opened up to Deadline about what drew her to her latest 9/11-themed feature film, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close."

She told writer Pete Hammond, "The way the story was written through Thomas [Horn's] character Oskar's eyes, really inspired me, because it allowed you to feel things as an innocent, rather than as an adult."

Sandra added, "Knowing everything that we knew about the (9/11) events and how much pain it caused everyone and this child's desire just to understand, "Why?" And there is no answer. It also shows a healing — how it bonded people together that you would never expect to come together."

Kelly Ripa Covers Good Housekeeping March 2012
February 7, 2012 at 10:31 AM
 

She hosts her very own morning talk show now that Regis Philbin has retired, and Kelly Ripa finds herself adorning the cover of the March 2012 issue of Good Housekeeping.

Set to hit newsstands on February 14th, the 41-year-old spoke with the magazine about everything from her husband, Mark Consuelos, and parenting to how she powers through her days and what keeps her so slim.

Highlights from Miss Ripa's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Good Housekeeping!

On her husband, Mark Consuelos:
"He's kind of awesome. I think he makes me better. He makes everything in our lives better."

On her best qualities as a wife:
"I don't give him a hard time about seeing his friends. Or for doing things independently, like taking a weekend biking trip with his racing friends. He doesn't need to take me everywhere or do everything with me. I'm very much about us having our own separate time. And I don't give him a hard time about not doing things around the house, like taking out the trash."

On her exercise routine:
"I work out every day. It's part of my life. That's one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time. I'm usually done with work around 11 A.M., so I have time before I pick the kids up from school. I do it more for my insides than my outside, but the outside gets a nice benefit, too. I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise. And I don't have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong."

On keeping her energy up:
"I think exercise has everything to do with it. Before I started exercising, I was exhausted all the time. I remember when Joaquin was about 7 months old, I was carrying him up the stairs, and was completely winded when I got to the top. I thought, I've got to figure this out, because I shouldn't be exhausted like this. My husband encouraged me and said, 'If you worked out, you'd feel so much better, and it would quiet your mind down.' Because I'm a worrier. And he was right. I started out three days a week, walking for a half hour on a treadmill; then it was five days a week, and then I started jogging. It was like a drug. The gateway drug is the treadmill."

On having another baby:
"That's the one constant discussion in our house. The kids are always asking, "When are you going to have another baby?" I don't want to gild the lily. We've been so lucky. Our children are healthy and happy. My job is ideal for raising children, but now I have three kids with after-school activities and homework."

On working with Ryan Gosling:
"He's your dream costar. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film."

On body image:
"It doesn't matter what you have or what you look like. It's something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that's not all of me. I feel it's important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don't like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that's what happened to me. When I am complimented on things that I didn't like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that's when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you."

On her idols, Julianne Moore and Annette Bening:
"I have a girl crush on them. I'd kill to have half the careers they've had after 40."
