Putting her big hair to good use, Cheryl
Cole recently shot a L'Oreal Paris campaign for which she is a
spokesmodel.
Though Simon Cowell once told the former
"X Factor" hopeful to get rid of her voluminous 'do, the 29-year-old refused to
take the curmudgeon's advice. In her autobiography, Cheryl: My Story, she
described his comments as "irritating beyond belief."
The English popstar is getting the last
laugh. Her bouffant has helped her land promotional deals worth around £12
million.
Just finishing her The Million Lights
tour, Cheryl is feeling stronger than ever. She told Hello!, "I've grown as a
person and as an artist, you can hear that in my music. I feel brand
new."
With production of "Thor: The Dark World"
underway, Chris Hemsworth took time out of his busy schedule to pose for the
October 2012 cover of Prestige Hong Kong magazine.
The 29-year-old actor looked handsome in
a collection of designers including Prada, YSL, and Giorgio Armani for the
Darren Tieste shot spread while talking about topics including fatherhood and
his actor siblings.
On working with "Game of Thrones"
director Alan Taylor on "Thor: The Dark World":
"Awesome. Yeah, I love the way he adds an
incredibly organic element to the fantastical world of Thrones, and I think
that’s what Thor could benefit from. It’s grounded in reality, no matter how
mythical or science-fiction-like it becomes. There’s a truth to it all.
Certainly, working with him now, you can see he doesn’t want Thor or the
Asgardians to seem like some distant race or god-like. He still wants them to be
relatable."
On his actor brothers:
"[Laughs] No, we have a healthily
competitive relationship in everything – as brothers do. Whereas with [acting],
all three of us are so aware of the instability of it all and how much is up to
chance. It’s far more of a supportive relationship [we have in acting] than
backyard football, or surfing, or whatever else we do in our free
time."
On balancing his career and
fatherhood:
"It’s tough, certainly. When you’re all
in one place, it’s like a normal job. The hours can be inconsistent, but at
least when you come home at night, the family’s there. The toughest thing is the
press tours and the travel, which fortunately is only a couple of times a year
for a couple of weeks at a time. So the time I’m away from them can be minimal.
What will become harder is if my wife and I are both working at the same time in
different countries – that’s what we’re going to try not to do. But, sometimes
there’s an opportunity that arises for both of you which you can’t say no to. At
the moment we’re lucky; it’s early days for us anyway."
Making a remarkable career comeback with
the release of her sixth studio album "The Truth About Love," Pink pitched in on
promotions by covering the November 2012 issue of The Advocate
magazine.
Covering her chest with black tape and a
sheer tank top, the 33-year-old singer looked stunning in a corset and blazer
for the Deborah Anderson shot front page while opening up about life as a
celebrity to being credited as Adele's inspiration.
On Forbes magazine naming her the 27th
most powerful celebrity in the world:
“I still look at that sh*t and think it’s
hilarious, I feel my power as a female and as a human being. I definitely do not
feel my power as whatever Forbes was talking about.”
On inspiring Adele to become a
performer:
“That’s so huge for me. I’m a fellow
outcast, and for somebody to say that they were at my party once is like,
Really? That’s so cool, they were there. F*ck, she was 13 — how old does that
make me? If I had to influence anybody, I’m so grateful it’s her.”
On living in the spotlight:
“I’ve definitely gotten used to being
uncomfortable. It’s kind of my thing. I get a little embarrassed sometimes, but
it goes away quickly because I get a kick out of sharing it. I know that I’m an
oversharer and I always tell too much and I always take it that one step too
far, but that’s how I really am. I can’t believe that people are still
shockable.”
On her LGBT fans:
“They’ve been the most loyal part of what
I do. They’ve been my most loyal friends, to be honest. I’ve had a lot of my gay
boys around, but my gay girls are my rootstalk. I should be gay by the way that I look and the way that I am. I
just happen to not be. But it just makes perfect and complete sense.”
When it came time to dress up for
"celebrity day" at school, Britney Spears' niece, Maddie, knew just who to
choose.
The 4-year-old daughter of Jamie Lynn
Spears recreated Aunt Britney's famous Catholic school girl outfit from the
"...Baby One More Time" video that launched her to stardom in 1998.
Brit's sis shared a photo of the
pigtailed one and explained that "celebrity day" is part of her school's
Homecoming Week celebration.
In March, the former Nickelodeon star
opened up to Glamour about their sisterly relationship. "Our bond as mothers],
it's such a big thing, you know? Especially 'cause there's an age gap there --
she's 10 years older. I think if I were just a normal 20-year-old, I wouldn't be
able to relate as much to her."
