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.”

“New Girl” star Zooey Deschanel is on the May cover of Marie Claire magazine, where she talks about her dating life and whether or not she wants to be a mother.

On whether she’s dating: “Honestly, I’m just going through a divorce, so I don’t really think that’s something I want to get into now. I don’t have time to date. I literally – don’t-have-time.”

On not wanting children: “That’s never been my focus…My sister [Emily] was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff. I like kids, and I like being around kids – but it was never an ambition, something, like, I need…I like working. That’s what I like doing. I like to work.”

On being bullied as a child: “I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I’m the same person. Certainly you change, and you change perspective, you have other experiences. But isn’t it funny – I can still remember when I was treated differently from the way I’m treated now.”

Mariska Hargitay is on the May cover of Good Housekeeping magazine, where she talks about the long, arduous and emotional process to adopt her children.
The television star shared the details and even got emotional when discussing it.
“I’m not gonna lie,” Hargitay says. “There were wrenching moments. I say to everybody, ‘Adoption is not for the faint of heart.’ “
Hargitay was all set to meet her new baby and even held her in the delivery room. For two days, they bonded with the newborn and picked out her new name. But then in a shocking turn of events, they birth mother decided she wanted to keep the baby.
“The birth mother changed her mind,” Hargitay says, her eyes welling up at the memory. “It was nothing short of devastating. But…this is what I’ve come to understand about life: It was probably the greatest, happiest ending. I mean, it was so painful for us, but it was deeply joyful and deeply right for her.”
Later, they located another expectant mom who allowed the actress and her husband to be in the delivery room, which she says was “storybook.”
“Peter and I held her, and then the birth mother and I hugged for a long time. That was profound. That was one of the most meaningful moments I’ve ever had in my life.”
A few days later, another baby born prematurely was available for adoption and the couple jumped at the chance.
“I don’t really know what to say about it, other than it was a no-brainer. Peter and I both thought, Let’s do it! I’m in!” she says. “It was like…a miracle. And I don’t use that word lightly. I’ve never made a bigger decision so quickly. The whole thing happened in a total of two days.”

“Biggest Loser” host Alison Sweeney is on the cover of Redbook magazine where she talks being normal, fame and staying in shape.
On life in Hollywood:
Thank God my life is normal. I work hard to make it normal. My husband and I don’t want Hollywood drama. I go to the market and do the dishes. I’m not treated differently because I work on TV. Ben [Alison’s son] only recently realized I was somewhat famous. He Googled me.
On her husband of 12 years:
My husband and I have known each other since kindergarten…I had a crush on him in school, but we never dated. Then we saw each other again after high school, and there was something instantly familiar about him. I’m a very shy person and was very closed off. But he allowed me to be myself. And there’s a safety in that.
On Staying Fit:
Fitness is not an option. Its part of my job…If I didn’t bring my duffel bag with me, I wouldn’t work out. I’m running my first official half marathon this weekend. So I need to get in my workouts after I’m done here for the day. If I go home, I know I’ll get distracted.
On her on-the-go lifestyle:
“If I get six hours of sleep, that’s a good night…You’ve got to go while the getting’s good, which it is right now. Maybe in 10 years, I’ll be a stay-at-home mom.”

All may not be well in the “Community” on NBC.

An angry voicemail left by the show’s star Chevy Chase for the creator Dan Harmon leaked this weekend and the war of words is ugly, according to a report from Deadline.com.

Chase reportedly walked off set last month without filming one of his scenes. Although sources later told Deadline that the show was “suffering through a non-script day,” Harmon did not think it was funny and sought retailiation at the wrap party.

In front of Chase’s wife and daughter, Harmon reportedly gave a “f—- you, Chevy” speech and encouraged the crew to join him in saying “f—- you” to the star, Deadline reports.

Chase reportedly left the party immediately and proceeded to call Harmon and leave a profanity- laden voicemail for him, criticizing his writing and telling him, “I don’t get talked to like that by anybody, certainly in front of my wife and daughter” and calling him a “fat f——-“

According to Deadline, sources said the blowup was “inevitable,” as there had been tensions on set for some time.

It’s unclear whether or not the show will continue with Chase.

On taking time off:

“I see people who are on tour nonstop, and I think, When are you just a person? When do you go grocery shopping?” she says. “I don’t ever want to not buy my own groceries!”

On being vegetarian: 

“I’ll never eat meat again, because I look and feel better without it, but if I could raise my own cows and chickens and produce my own eggs and cheese, it would be awesome! The food would taste better, because the animals would be happy.”

On feeling confident:

“In the beginning, my biggest fear was being criticized. Now I’m a lot better with saying, I feel good about myself and that’s enough.”

Megan Fox and her husband Brian Austin Green, yes, the guy who played the keyboards on the original version of “Beverly Hills 90210” in the 1990s, were snapped “enjoying” themselves on the beach in Hawaii.

We put “enjoying” in quotation marks as Fox is not smiling in any of the photos.

B.A.G is (of course). But she is not.

HOT SHOTS: Megan Fox on the beach in Hawaii.

Perhaps she relies on her tattoos, most of which are visible when she wears her teeny weeny bikini, to send out the good vibes.

If only we knew what they said….
