Jessica Alba says she felt objectified during her years starring on “Dark Angel.”

The actress is on the June cover of Marie Claire magazine, where she opens up about her early years of fame and her “Maxim-ready” looks.

“I had a show [‘Dark Angel’] that premiered when I was 19. And right away, everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed. I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That’s what people expected…I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!”

But now that she is older, Alba says she is more comfortable owning her femininity and sexuality.

I’ve learned how to own it, but I’m still not very overt. There are some women who dress for men. I dress for myself. It took me some time to get here. Being a mom and feeling grown-up have helped. Now if I’m going to wear something short, it has to have a high neck or a little sci-fi toughness to it, an edge.”

ldquo;I like to get positive attention,” she adds. “But if I have a choice between someone noticing in a negative way what I’m wearing and going, ‘What was she thinking?’ or someone not noticing what I’m wearing, I would rather not make a statement at all and just have a good conversation instead.”

Kristen Stewart is trying desperately to revive her image as an angry, oft-complaining celebrity who once compared having her photo taken to being raped. And how is she doing that? By complaining again of course!

Only this time, the “Twilight” star who is promoting her new film, “Snow White and the Huntsman,” is complaining about her life being too EASY!

In the cover story for the June issue of Elle magazine, the yoing star says of her sheltered upbringing.

“You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to f—king happen to me. Just life. I want someone to f—k me over! Do you know what I mean?”

Yes, Kristen, you made your point.

But she wasn’t done there.

“It’s one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy.”

Back in 2010, Kristen told British Elle a very different story.

“It’s so… The photos are so … I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time, I can’t handle it,” she said at the time. “I never expected that this would be my life.”

Do you think Kristen found her happy place, or are her handlers attempting to revamp her image? If so, they might want to tell her EXACTLY what to say, next time.

He may be a part of one of the biggest action films of the year, but “The Avengers” star Chris Evans said he had his doubts about acting.

The Boston native still lives in his hometown with his roomate and speaks of his dream to live in the woods to Details magazine for the May cover story.

“For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival.  I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot, I took classes. At 18, I told myself if I don’t live in the woods by myself by the time I’m 25, I have failed,” he said.

The actor also says his “daytime person is different than my nightttime person. With my high-school buddies, we drink beer and talk sports and it’s great. The kids in my Buddhism class in L.A., they’re wildly intelligent, and I love being around them, but they’re not talking about the Celtics.”

The actor seems to have a certain dislike for Hollywood, saying he refuses to let his happiness be defined in terms of his acting.

“I love acting. It’s my playground, it lets me explore. But my happiness in this world, my level of peace, is never going to be dictated by acting,” he says.

He adds that the idea of it even made him question whether or not he wanted to accept the role of Captain America.

“What if the movie comes out and it’s a success and I just reject all of this? What if I want to move to the fu*&#@^ woods?”

Actress Penelope Cruz is on the May cover of Harper’s Bazaar, where she opened up about motherhood, her Hollywood idol and fashion.

On her idol, Meryl Streep: “When I first started watching movies and I saw Meryl’s work, that’s when I became obsessed with acting,” Penélope says. “Now I kiss her whenever I see her! She must think I’m crazy.” She recalls a magazine shoot they did together a few years ago for the AIDS charity (RED). “As soon as she got to the set, I had to sit topless on top of her. It was the most interesting love scene I’ve ever done.”

On juggling motherhood and career: “Maybe I’ll make one movie a year, maybe two, but it’s not going to be more than that because I have other priorities now.”

“I won’t go to places where you’re going to find more attention. I go to the opposite.” Her perfect day is “running around with my family at the beach, that’s all.”

On being a ”worrier”:  I am living for every day and trying to have less fear, less worry. But I have always worried about everything; it’s in my nature. It’s the thing that makes me suffer the most.”

Of her red-carpet fashion choices: “All I look for is to be able to breathe!”

“Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence is on the April cover of Glamour magazine, kicking off what is sure to be a media blitz with the film’s impending release.

The star opens up about the role, her diet and adjusting to fame.

On taking on the role of Katniss in ‘The Hunger Games’…

“I gave myself three days. I knew from reading the books that I loved ‘The Hunger Games.’ I just didn’t know if it was worth changing my life for. I’m at a peaceful place right now. The people who used to ignore me at parties, now they’re nice to me and kissing my ass. But nobody’s staked outside my house. I wanted to make sure that when I said yes, I wouldn’t regret it. And I don’t regret it. I would have said no because I was scared, and then I would have been that bitter actress telling my grandkids, ‘I’m the one that turned it down.’”

On getting in shape and dieting…

“I hate saying,  ‘I like exercising.’ I want to punch people who say that in the face. But it’s nice being in shape for a movie, because they basically do it all for you. It’s like, ‘Here’s your trainer. This is what you can eat.’”

“I don’t diet. I do exercise! But I don’t diet. You can’t work when you’re hungry, you know?” 

On adjusting to her life as a famous actress…

“Just recently I started letting myself eat things from the minibar. When we were kids, we would never open the minibar. A $6 Snickers bar? But the other day I was in a hotel and I was staring at a Snickers bar, and I finally just ate it. Then it was like something in me snapped. I opened all these drinks. I thought: I can do it now. Now I’m all grown-up. I can eat things from the minibar.”

Her take on life in the public eye…

“In some ways, it’s a hard life, but it’s a great professional life. I’m doing what I love, and then I get months and months of rest. I have a lot of money for a 21-year-old. I can’t stand it when actors complain.”

Megan Fox is on the April cover of Cosmopolitan magazine and the actress opens up about her marriage and the public perception of her.
On her tough-girl image: It’s because I have tattoos and I say curse words, and apparently, that’s crazy. I think maybe I give off this energy of seeming like I don’t give a f—-, and that’s misinterpreted. But I’m not wild.
On first meeting now-husband Brian Austin Green: “I didn’t know who he was, since I was too young for “Beverly Hills 90210.” But the first time I saw him, I got butterflies. And the first time he casually touched me? There was so much electricity.” 
She continues: “We’ve had obstacles, and we’ve overcome them. I truly feel like he’s my soul mate. I don’t want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe we are destined to live this part of our lives together.”

Jennifer Lopez is certainly no stranger to daring dresses, and this year’s Oscars was no exception.
The actress was presenting with Cameron Diaz when a debate exploded on social networking sites as to whether or not the 42-year-old had a wardrobe malfunction on stage.
Lopez wasn’t the only one dealing with her Oscar attire. Earlier in the evening, E! host Ryan Seacrest was the butt of a messy joke by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who, in his new character as a clueless dictator, spilled what he said were the ashes of Kim Jong Il all over Seacrest’s tux.
Cohen was then escorted away by what looked to be very real security.
But back to Lopez. Do you think she exposed anything, or is the debate simply much ado about nothing?
