Taking a break from his busy "Vampire Diaries" schedule, Ian Somerhalder garnered himself a little added exposure by
covering the September/October 2012 issue of Essential Homme
magazine.
Looking handsome as ever, the 33-year-old
actor donned an Armani Exchange cardigan for the Matthew Lyn shot front page
while talking about everything from acting to rumors that he wants the lead role
in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" film adaptation.
On the challenges of being an
actor:
"Much of life is like a television show.
You have ups and downs. You never know where it's going to go. And yes, it's
iffy as an actor, because you're at the mercy of the writers' imaginations.
You're ultimately subjected to exactly what they want and you have to deal with
it."
On taking his young audience
seriously:
"If you empower a 15-year-old kid, or a
17-year-old kid who turns 18 in October, who can vote in November - if you
empower that young person to understand what's going on in the world around
them, how certain politics and environmental implications are going to not serve
them very well later on in life - are going to affect the way that they grow up
and their children grow up - you affect that young person. They become
empowered, and an empowered young person is the coolest thing in the world. And
untimely, that's where change comes in."
Gearing up for a busy October as the
spokesperson for Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness campaign,
Elizabeth Hurley turned up the heat by gracing the October 2012 cover of
Fairlady magazine.
Baring her shoulders in a pink tube top,
the 47-year-old actress looked better than ever for the Kim Knott shot front
page while dishing about everything from what makes her lose her temper to
balancing family and work.
On being the Spokesperson for Estee
Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness campaign:
"Every October I go around the world
raising funds and awareness for the campaign. We've raised more than $35 million
to fund 140 Breast Cancer Foundation research grants across the
globe."
On what inspired her to start 'Elizabeth
Hurley Beach:'
"I decided to venture into Beachwear not
only because I've always been obsessed with holiday clothes, but because it's an
area where women, regardless of shape or size, can either look amazing or really
get it wrong. I wanted to come up with some styles that make people look great
and develop a resort collection that would make a woman feel fabulously sexy at
any age."
On balancing work and family
time:
"[My son] has been very well socialized
from a young age and I can take him anywhere. Damian spend a month or so with me
in New York over the summer while I was filming "Gossip Girl," and he loved it.
He made his own short movie and ran my lines with me every night."
With his new movie "Argo" opening in
theaters on October 12th, Ben Affleck scored some added exposure by covering the
October 2012 issue of DETAILS magazine.
The 35-year-old actor looked handsome in
a Dior Homme blue coat and grey suit for the Mark Seliger shot front page while
dishing about everything from his upcoming film to being a working father of
three.
On what made him decide to star in
'Argo':
"I liked the idea of being in the movie,
pushing it forward. As an actor, you can steer a scene in another direction by
playing it a little differently. And honestly? I like being an actor, and I want
to keep having a career. It'd be very easy for me to get lost in directing for a
year and a half or two. It's a business with a very short memory."
On conserving his resources as a father
of three:
"Absolutely. Anytime you think, 'I'm
wasting my time here,' the first thought you have is 'I could go home and be
with my kids.' Now, you may go home and be with your kids and very quickly start
thinking, 'I wonder what's on the work front?' Because running around after
three kids is very trying. Now everything has to compete with being with my
family. I don't want to be a stay-at-home dad. Work is very important to me. I
like to work. So does my wife. But I need my work to mean something to me in
order for me to not be home with them."
Enjoying a fabulous lifestyle teens their
age might dream of, Kylie and Kendall Jenner continue to share candid photos of
their time at New York Fashion Week.
Kylie began with a tidbit of a video
showing the two Jenners practicing their walks for the Sherri Hill show in which
they both served as models. The young Kardashian clan members had more than one
chance to strut their stuff. Earlier today, she tweeted, "Super excited to walk
the Abbey Dawn show tonight!"
Joining the pair on their adventures was
an adorable puppy named Adam, who appears in Kylie's videos and Twitter photos,
keeping the girls company.
On September 9th, Kendall posted an
Instagram photo of herself in a bright pink gown cuddling her furry friend with
the caption, "lil A!" She retweeted a video posted by Kylie in which Kendall
takes a spill while being asked about her photoshoot amongst a sea of
dresses.
Lighting up during intermission, Jake Gyllenhaal took a break from the Off-Broadway production of "If There Is I
Haven’t Found It Yet" in New York City on Saturday (September 1).
The bearded 31-year-old actor wore a gray
t-shirt, jeans, and a black cap as he puffed away during the break in the play
with Katie Holmes reportedly in the audience.
The dark comedy centers on an overweight
British teenager and her troubled family. It is showing at the Roundabout
Theater Company.
After failing on his promise to do a play
after every three movies he made, Jake is eager to return to his roots. At the
age of 21, he made his London stage debut as a sensitive slacker in "This Is Our
Youth."
Of the experience, the "Donnie Darko"
star says, "[w]hat I loved most about working in London, in the theater, there
was a real appreciation of potential. No one comes out of the gate 100 percent
perfect. No one. I have a great sense of comfort onstage because I know taking
risks is appreciated.”
