From her interview in W, which hits stands April 22

On whether she dreamed of being an actress when she was a kid:

“Oh, no. I wanted to be a zoologist, to study the sociology of animals. But that’s pretty much what I do now anyway. I thought I’d be on the plains of Africa watching lions, but instead I’m in Hollywood watching train wrecks…I’m just kidding.”

On buying a place in Manhattan:

“I’m done with L.A. Those guys [the paparazzi], you can’t get away from them. You have no options because everybody’s in a car. Here, I can walk down the street like everybody else. Not everybody is there to be rich and famous or attach themselves to rich and famous people. People want nothing from you. They just want to say, like, ‘Hey, how’s it going, Cameron?’ I like that interaction. I like to be in a place where I can be open to people and not worry about the consequences.”

On her goals:

“Just kind of taking more time getting to know myself. It sounds so corny that I can’t believe I even just said that, but, you know, there comes a time when you really have to get to know who you are…I’ve just been figuring out what interests me and spending time with people who are important to me and being present in my own life.”

On Vegas:

“I looooove Vegas. It’s such an easy trip from L.A., and there’s always a hotel room because there’s about a billion of them,” she says, before adding with a laugh, “but honestly, you don’t even really need one if you’re just going for the weekend!”

Heidi Montag’s annoying boyfriend Spencer Pratt somehow managed to score his own advice column in Radar magazine.

The column is called “YO SPENCER!” and debuts in the April issue of Radar.

Radar editor Maer Roshan said, “Spencer is never afraid to speak his mind. When asking for advice, it’s good to have someone who will be brutally honest with you, and tell it like it is.”

Ok, now how exactly is Spencer qualified to dish out advice? If anything I think the column will be worth reading just to snicker at the vast pearls of knowledge he throws out there.

Please.

Jodie Foster is this week’s cover girl on Parade magazine and in it she opens up about her childhood, her career and her children.

On Her Early Sense of Responsibility

“I ask myself, ‘What did I miss?’” I had my little rebellions, but they were minimal. So I ask, ‘Why didn’t I rebel more?’ Then I remember — because I was responsible for someone else. That’s why I couldn’t rebel. That’s why I couldn’t get lost for days on end. I always had to work.”

On How Taxi Driver Changed Her Career

“Before that, somebody would say, ‘OK, here are your lines. You go here and do this and that. Just try to make it as natural as possible. With Taxi Driver, I had this eureka moment. I realized that acting could be much more than what I had been doing. I had to build a character that wasn’t me.”

On Her Childhood Attitude Toward Acting

“To me, acting didn’t seem like much of a profession. My mom always said, ‘By the time you’re 16, your career will be over. So what do you want to do then?’ She was correct. Most child actors’ careers end early. They’re lost.”

On Life After College

“I saw leaving college as an opportunity to do something different with my life. I always thought that becoming an academic was going to be my path. I could’ve gone to New York, but I went back to Los Angeles because it was where I was from.”

On What She Looks for in a Movie

“I make dark dramas, movies about people living in desperate fear who then overcome that fear and find a heroic side to themselves.”

One Raising Her Children

“Boys are easy. I mean, there are just a lot of bruises when they’re young. With boys, you get a lot of accidental jabs in the eye and stepping on your feet, and those tantrums they cause when they don’t want to leave the toy store.”

“But my boys are getting older now. They go to school all day, and then one wants to do T-ball and the other wants to do karate, so they’re actually gone until four-thirty. I want them to have curiosity about things they don’t know, and a desire to see places bigger than where they grew up.”

Danity Kane’s new promo shot for their new album “Welcome To The Dollhouse” (also very original) that’s released on March 18th.

And thank you Shyne for pointing out that Britney’s photo idea was taken from a 1966 Esquire shoot with Angie Dickinson.

I guess they do this a lot..

Thanks Kevin

Tina Fey, how can you not love her?

Tina made the cover of Parade, and in it she talks shop – with a dash of saucy sarcasm, of course.

On not being able to have it all:
“I think my generation has been slightly tricked in that you’re really encouraged to try to have it all. And sometimes your body will not let you wait as long as you want.”

On her 43-day maternity leave and return to Saturday Night Live:
“I had to get back to work. NBC has me under contract; the baby and I only have a verbal agreement.”

On how she intends on capitalizing on her fame:
“I often feel like a complete fool. I’m here laboring over this tiny show so much, and around me people are making money by the fistful. It’s like, ‘Oh, man, how can I turn my personality into a line of crappy products?’ Rachael Ray sells, like, spoons. I could sell pencils.”

I’d buy your pencils, Tina.

Vanity Fair spotlights funny women in it’s upcoming April issue. Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman and Amy Poehler adorn the cover as the Queens of Comedy.

Sarah does her best Amy Winehouse, which I thought was perfect because I have mentioned in the past how much they look alike. Jenna Fischer is Lindsay Lohan (center) and Wanda Sykes channels Lil Kim. Chelsea Handler (second from left) and Sandra Bernhard (left) are also spotlighted.

Kelly Osbourne graces the cover of this month’s UK’s Fabulous magazine, and in it she talks about what makes her who she is.

Kelly on love. “I’ll go out with a boy and get papped with him and all of a sudden he’s my boyfriend. That doesn’t work for me. I want to be taken out for dinner and know something about them before they become my boyfriend.”

Kelly on boys. “I don’t trust boys – love can make you blind. I’ve fallen head over heels twice in that ‘love is blind’ way and got hurt. Now I’m so guarded that when it gets to that point, I jump ship. I’m frightened I’ll get hurt again.”

Kelly on growing up. “I’ve lived life at a faster pace than most 23 year olds. I’ve grown up a lot in the last year, largely because I’ve done so much stuff. I’m not mature but I’m street-smart. I’m not well read or well educated in the academic sense, but I’m savvy and I can look after myself.”

Kelly on being a brat: “Hell yeah, I can still be a brat, but I have words with myself when I’m being brattish because I know I shouldn’t. I have nothing to complain about – I’m very fortunate.”

Kelly on her personality. “Every day I feel different. I’m not insane, but people think I’m different because I’m not a sheep and I’m not afraid to say what I think.”

Kelly on addiction. “Addiction is a gene. I was born an addict and I’ll always be an addict, but I’ve learnt to live with it. There are different levels of addiction, whether it be drugs, spending money, overeating, or painting your nails 17 times a day. It’s an addictive gene and you have it the rest of your life.”

Kelly on fashion. “Getting dressed in the morning is one of my favourite things. That’s why I enjoy presenting Project Catwalk. I love fashion and I have wardrobes for different moods. I wear what I like and try not to follow trends. I’m stubborn and I don’t want to look like anyone else.”

Kelly on her icons. “Women in the ’50s put themselves together well. There’s such a lack of that now. Marilyn Monroe, Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani look good but I’d never steal their style. I have my own.”

Kelly on her parents. “I’d never make a big decision without speaking to my mum. I’d never make a big career decision without talking to my parents. I tell them what I think, they tell me what they think, then I decide what I wanna do.”

Sidenote: Kelly has offered pal Amy Winehouse a place to stay after she completes rehab. Kelly has told Amy that she can stay in the guest cottage at the family’s home in Buckinghamshire, England. It’ll be interesting to see if she takes her up on it.
