On the difference between blockbuster
roles and lower-budget endeavors:
“Bond movies live or die on their
popularity. They force you to care about what people think. And I’m involved [in
the films] on a very deep level. I have it in my mind all the time…So there’s
that kind of pressure, and that’s an enemy in any art form, acting
especially.”
On his role in getting Sam Mendes to
direct the latest Bond installment:
“It’s a very showbizzy story. I was at
Hugh Jackman’s house in New York. It was a soiree – we were in a play together –
and Sam [film and theatre director Sam Mendes] was there. I’d had a few too many
drinks and I went, ‘How do you fancy directing a Bond?’ And he kind of looked at
me, and he went, ‘Yeah!’ And it snowballed from there.”

changes shoes, Katy Perry has fired up L'Officiel magazine with a bright orange
mane.

issue has the "Firework" singer front and center on the Cuneyt Akeroglu shot

pop star headed to Disneyland with pals just days after her reported breakup
with John Mayer.
Ready to move on, she tweeted, "Today I
am promised happiness. Let's do this!"
The happiest place on earth seems to have
cheered her up as she was photographed in Micky Mouse ears at a restaurant and
zapping spaceships on the Buzz Lightyear ride.
Even at 53, Barbie is as hot as ever!
Earlier this year the 2012 Barbie For President doll was released, and Barbie's
latest fabulous incarnation is being dubbed "Drag Queen Barbie," although Mattel
and the drag-queen designers who created her deny that was their
intention.
Life in plastic might be fantastic, but
according to other rumors, Barbie will ditch her artificial skin and miniature
wardrobe when she comes alive on the big screen. There's reportedly a project in
development that will be the first Barbie live-action film, but she'll surely
adapt easily. Since her creation in 1959, Barbie has had 125 different careers
and a steady place in pop culture.

On whether she's bored of being a
bombshell:
"Hell no! I hope I'm 60 and people are
still saying it. I do want people to know there's more, but, yes, I want the
'honk-honk' when you pass me."
On creating her image:
"Starting from the get-go, I made sure I
wasn't perfect. I just wanted to be real. You know, I burp, too, but don't be
offended."
On her NBC summer special 'Surprise with
Jenny McCarthy':
"This was a show that was in the UK for
20 years. I get to help people who've done great things in their community by

The Estée Lauder heiress draped herself
in a Rochas frock for the Jonathan Becker shot front page while posing in a red
Hermes dress and an equally fabulous Etro number for the accompanying inside
spread.
On her sense of style:
"I've always liked simple. Growing up I
wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet.
My grandmother (Estee) gave me a credit card to Ann Taylor when I was 15, and I
went and got cream-colored turtlenecks."
On "Aerin" - the brand:
"I've been in this business for so many
years, and the question of what's inside your makeup bag always came up. It
became what's in your closet, what's on your desk, your dressing
table."
Ronald Lauder on his daughter and famous
mother, Estee:
"I'm very proud of Aerin, and I believe
that however proud I am, Estee would have been twice as proud. She was almost
the same age as Aerin when she started and I know that with Aerin's knowledge in
cosmetics and her fabulous sense of style and taste, her new line will be just
as successful as her grandmother's line was when she started almost 60 years
ago."
