Madonna also opens up to HB‘s Naomi Wolf about motherhood, womanhood, growing up and growing older:

“The other day, I was out on the street with Lourdes. She wasn’t feeling well and had a fever. She was wearing her tracksuit bottoms and her T-shirt, and she turned around and was like, ‘Ugh, there’s a paparazzi, and I look like shit!’ I felt for her because, you know, I thought, this is an extra layer. It’s already a challenge to have a teenager, then to have a teenager in New York City, and on top of that, she’s the daughter of someone famous. It’s a lot. I’m aware of it, and I constantly find myself apologizing for it. But it also provokes many discussions with us about what’s real and what isn’t real.”

“I think that the world is not comfortable with female sexuality. It’s always coming from a male point of view, and a woman is being objectified by a man — and even women are comfortable with that. But when a woman does it, ironically, women are uncomfortable with it. I think a lot of that has to do with conditioning…When women are perceived as powerful and doing something they aren’t supposed to be doing, they are often portrayed as sexual predators.”

“For some reason, I feel like I never left high school, because I still feel that if you don’t fit in, you’re going to get your ass kicked,” she says. “That hasn’t really changed for me. I’ve always been acutely aware of differences and the way you are supposed to act if you want to be popular.”

“I find whenever someone writes anything about me, my age is right after my name[," says Madonna, 252]. “It’s almost like they’re saying, ‘Here she is, but remember she’s this age, so she’s not that relevant anymore.’ Or ‘Let’s punish her by reminding her and everyone else.’ When you put someone’s age down, you’re limiting them.”

A wise poetess once told me age ain’t nothin’ but a number. Madonna could be 800 years old — and there’s no proof that she isn’t — but that train’s gonna keep on chugging whether you’re at the station or not. [Harper's Bazaar]

“We are thrilled to have Katie as the face of Ann Taylor,” Christine Beauchamp, President of Ann Taylor Stores, said. “Katie personifies the Ann Taylor brand – smart, talented, incredibly chic, and living a full life with beauty and grace. We admire and respect Katie for her intellect, kindness and enduring personal style.”

Obviously, Holmes is thrilled about the campaign as well:

“I’ve been a fan of Ann Taylor since I was a young girl,” Holmes said. “I grew up loving the clothes…and am really excited to be the face of Ann Taylor for the Spring season. I am thrilled to be part of a brand I believe in.”

A little over a month from turning 50, the actress proves she can still turn heads, including hunky Michael Brager.

Wow, to think that vajayjay is half a century old. I wish someone would throw an Oscar at it already, though.

To think, vaginas with considerbly less age and talent have Oscars and Julianne Moore’s doesn’t.

What’s wrong with the world?

There might be a lot going on in Vogue Russia’s upcoming spread, but the artist’s studio scene is completely working for me! Shot by Tom Munro, ”Mass Cult” really focuses on the bare essentials, getting down to the skimpy mini cocktails and some lingerie. The editorial really pays tribute to some quite incredible heels as well as some breathtaking jewelry (the massive silver chains anyone!?) But despite the great spread idea, I’m a bit disappointed that you can’t see detailing of the clothes or shoes. Enough with the bottom of shoes and the arms in the way!

Something about seeing Gareth Pugh everywhere is throwing me off. Dude is on fire!!! I just hope to see some of his stuff in person someday, I feel like touching it in person will be the closest I get to realizing that female Stormtrooper fantasy itch I need to scratch. Yeah, I’m odd like that…
