Cate Blanchett was shot by Annie Leibovitz for the December 2009 issue of Vogue US looking like a goddess or a beautiful Oscar statue wearing a golden strapless Donna Karan gown.

The rest of the editorial sees the actress wearing Armani Prive, Oscar de la Renta and the same Valentino dress we’ve seen on Victoria Beckham’s Elle October 2009 editorial and Rose Byrne on the red carpet at the 2009 Emmy Awards.

If you are having a touch of de ja vu looking at Cate’s editorial, that’s because it’s very very similar to the editorial which was also shot by Annie Leibovitz for the February 2009 issue of Vanity Fair.

Here are some extracts from her interview:

On career choices: “I’m not very cautious or careful. It’s always been more about having a variety of experiences than any planned trajectory.”

Only Demi Moore can upstage the gorgeous Anja Rubik.

Demi looks breath-taking on the cover of W Magazine’s December 2009 issue which was shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.

I’ve run out of superlatives to describe how amazingly beautiful this woman is.

She strikes a sexy pose that would even get her husband Ashton all hot under the collar, wearing a Balmain Spring 2010 gold leather and metal mesh dress with exposed hips.

I wonder if she took this dress home to play Tarzan and Jane with Ashton.

Yes the cover has been photoshopped to within an inch of it’s life, but we all know she IS this beautiful.

The rest of her editorial below sees her wearing Givenchy, Armani Prive and Lanvin.

This issue goes on sale November 24.

Here are some extracts from her interview, but you can read the full interview on wmgazine.com.

On using Twitter to transform her public image: “People are much more interested in what I have to say directly, and that really changed the whole dynamic I have with fans…I can’t impress enough the difference in how people are perceiving me. They’re getting to see who I am.”

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson grace the cover of the US edition of Harper’s Bazaar December 2009.

Are they dating?

They have me thinking yes. As many of you said yesterday, she’s not that great an actress. j/k

Plus pictures of them holding hands yesterday at a London airport only adds fuel to the fire.

Her puppy dog eyes give her away as he smoulders next to her especially in the out-takes below.

On the cover which was shot by Mark Seliger, Kristen wears Gucci whilst in the rest of her editorial we see her wearing a stunning Alexander McQueen gown, a gladiatorial Prada look, a sexy Alexander Wang sparkling mini and a glamorous Versace gown.

Here are some extracts from their joint interview:

Robert on his audition: “I was calm and collected, and then we do this thing where we’re pretty much making out. I’ve since tried to do it at another audition, but it completely just collapsed. Kristen was very different from how I expected the girl who played Bella would be. I was kind of intimidated.”

We have been drooling over Thandie Newton’s red carpet choices for such a long time. She is the very epitome of style, class, elegance and sophistication.

Only Cate Blanchett can rival her when it comes to total head-to-toe perfection.

On the cover of InStyle UK’s December 2009 issue - which is out now - Thandie graces the cover looking stunning wearing a white RM by Roland Mouret Maestro wool crepe dress paired with exquisite silver jewelery.

You see Thandie smoldering in her InStyle UK shoot by watching the behind the scenes video.

She opens up to Danielle Hine about her passions: film, family and fashion.

On being a 37-year-old mom of two but still having a ballet dancer’s figure: “That’s genetic! And I’m a Jivamukti yoga freak - it’s food for my soul. When I’m not working, I’ll drop Rip off at school and Nico at nursery, then I go to yoga. I also have an amazing personal trainer, who I see whenever I can.”

It couldn’t have been easy for Rihanna to live her last few months in the spotlight, but it appears that she is stronger, happier and determined to give out a positive message to her young fans looking up to her.

The singer appears on the December 2009 issue of Glamour US magazine looking fabulous wearing a Balmain leopard print sequin mini.

Next Monday the magazine will honor Rihanna at the annual “Glamour Woman of the Year” gala awards ceremony. I’m sure, like me, you are anticipating what she will wear on the red carpet.

Rihanna joins 11 other inspiring Women of the Year winners who are all featured in the magazine, which goes on sale November 10.

Here are some extracts from her interview with Laurie Sandell.

On the ordeal with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown: “I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day.”

On her message to young women: “My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The
positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I
feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women.”

On her personal growth over the past year: “I am stronger, wiser and more aware. You don’t realize how much your decisions affect people you don’t
even know, like fans.”

On her new album: “I’ve put everything I’ve wanted to say for the past eight months into my music. [My new album] is super fearless-which is exactly how I feel right now. I am in a really good place.”

On the red carpet Alexa Chung is not my favourite person, mostly because has a tendency arrive with greasy hair and ankle boots no matter how pretty her dress is.

But when I see editorial like this, it reminds me how amazing the former model is.

In her editorial she wears a sequined red and black Dolce & Gabbana dress which shows off her endless legs.

Her Chanel Resort 2010 sailor chic ensemble is paired with a leather jacket, plus she’s also captured wearing a lace Stella McCartney jumpsuit we’ve seen on the Stella McCartney at the Costume Institute Gala and Victoria Beckham for Elle US October 2009.

The Stella McCartney picture is my favourite look.

This issue goes on sale November 3.

Here are some extracts of her interview with Derek Blasberg.

On whether she will return to the UK once her MTV gig is over: “I don’t know. I went to a wedding last weekend [in England] and when I got back here I was quite relieved to be home in New York. Whoa, I guess that’s the first time I actually said that and meant it “Home In New York”.

Sarah Jessica Parker’s latest fragrance is called SJP NYC.

You will not be surprised to learn that the scent was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw.

In an interview with WWD the actress said “A large part of the inspiration was what I now understand to be people’s impressions of seeing Carrie Bradshaw walk down the street and what feelings that evokes for her and for them - a real sense of freedom and possibilities, a love for the city around her and, of course, fashion.”

SJP NYC will be available exclusively in Macy’s stores in the US from February, and then it will be available everywhere else in May to coincide with the premiere of ‘Sex And The City 2′ movie.

The scent is said to be a fruity, floral fragrance with hints of creamy musks, sandalwood and vanilla.

I’ve never quite understood the allure of celebrity fragrances, so I’m more interested in the fabulous artwork for this scent.

SJP is beaming ever so brightly wearing a strapless Oscar de la Renta Spring 2009 dress with NYC in pink as the backdrop.
