“Gossip Girl ” star Blake Lively  graces the cover of Allure magazine’s October 2010 issue.

Lively, 23, shares her thoughts and views.

On her role in The Town: “This part was originally supposed to be for a 37-year-old woman – she’s a mother – but when I read the script, I knew I had to have the part. It was selfish of me. I worried I would ruin it for other people. But I had to try it.”

On wanting a family: “I want babies. Lots of babies. Of course!”

On being insecure about her acting ability: “You make your mistakes on a bigger screen for everyone to see. I’d look at what we shot on a day and it was like, “Oh, gosh, I’m terrible.”

On her goals beyond acting: “I want to have a brunch place, a bakery, and a Southern restaurant – because my family’s from Georgia – and then I want a place that is all-over-the-world cuisine. I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it’s the best way to get to know a culture. It’s what people bring to the family every day, what they break bread over – it’s a very intimate thing.”

Vanessa Hudgens has directed herself into a more mature image in the cover of the upcoming August issue of Glamour.

Hudgens, 21, graces the magazine sporting a tight-fitted black vest, revealing her sexy bod. She paired the vest with a beaded belt and jeans as she highlights the mag’s special denim issue.

Together with Vanessa, the “High School Musical” star is seen carrying two cuddly kitties. “I love animals. Love, love, love, love animals. I have a toy poodle, Shadow. She’s a little whippersnapper! And I love little monkeys,” she told the mag.

In an interview with Glamour, Vanessa talked about her topless photo which surfaced into the internet in 2007. She shared, “I think that it has made me stronger. But it still hurts. It sucks because [the photos were] supposed to be private, but at the same time a lot of actresses do it [in movies]. Eventually, I’m sure that I will [too]. But I don’t know if I would be able to do it now.”

On her views about her Disney girl image, Vanessa said, “It’s so funny. Because before ‘High School Musical’, I wanted to be a nitty-gritty actress. And ‘High School Musical’ came along, and, I was like, ‘Oh my God, fun!’ ” She continued, “But the more we did it, the more prude I became… When I am around kids and they come up to me, of course I am going to act a certain way, but at the end of the day, I’m doing this for myself. I’m going to be doing movies kids can’t watch.”

Vanessa Hudgens shared that she will have her more mature image shown in her new movie “Sucker Punch.”

She will be playing Blondie, a tough and edgy girl. Meanwhile, Vanessa will deal with a squeaky clean teenybopper to an HIV-positive stripper in a play “Rent” for the Hollywood Bowl in August.

Angelina Jolie is thinking of quitting acting for good since she’s much happier in her role as a mother and a humanitarian.

The Hollywood starhas just completed shooting her latest movie, “The Tourist” with Johnny Depp, and still has several projects lined up including a big-screen adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s popular Kay Scarpetta novels.

However, Jolie, who has six kids with her partner Brad Pitt, admits she’s growing weary of acting and might not “do it much longer”. She tells Vanity Fair magazine, “It’s (acting) not the most important thing in my life. Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things.”

“So I’m very, very grateful, it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury… But I don’t think I’ll do it much longer. Because I have a happy home… I got back from work last night, and everybody was playing music and dancing and I suddenly found myself dancing around with a bunch of little fun crazy people.”

In addition to that, she believes she will “grow old” with Brad Pitt, because he’s the only man to make her feel “safe”.

She  refused to accept the proposal of Cougar Magazine to pose in their magazine.

The actress claims she had nothing against the big cat but she just doesn’t like the term ‘cougar’ since its popularly  used to describe an older woman who likes to date younger men.

“I was asked recently by a significant magazine for women over 40 to pose with a cougar and I refused to do it because I felt it was insulting and they took away the cover. I think that ‘cougar’ has a negative connotation and I don’t see anything negative about… sexuality.”

Earlier reports had Kim Cattrall vowing never to wed again, because marriage isn’t “necessary”. she said, “I’ll never marry again. I don’t want children. I am self-sufficient. If I decide to spend time with someone then I will. If marriage means something to someone else then I guess it could be a… negotiated point. But I really don’t feel it’s necessary.”

Actress Megan Fox has encouraged young women to ask advice from a therapist before making a decision to have plastic surgery.

According to the “Passion Play” actress, cosmetic procedure won’t cure any insecurity issues.

The “Transformers” beauty claims she has nothing against the medical practice, but for her, she fears that females are often looking for a quick fix to their vanity worries instead of dealing with the problems deep down.

She tells Allure magazine, “I would encourage anyone to first speak with a therapist, to try and figure out where this want comes from, because a lot of times it’s not related to your teeth or your nose or your chin; the surgery is not going to alleviate that insecurity for you.”

“If, then, you feel, ‘This is something that I want to do,’ then do it. It’s amazing that we have the technology to do the stuff that we do.”
