The star is wearing a pink Versace Fall 2008 one-shouldered gown in pink, a colour which really suits her English rose complexion. (A figure of speech, I know she is American).

The magazine is out on June 17, but here are some extracts from her interview.

On cutting her hair: “I was very, very attached to my hair. I grew it when I was pregnant. I still had hair from when my father was alive. I made it like a talisman. And then I was ready to let go of it, and so I chopped it off and … aaah!”

On how her pregnancy differed from her mother’s: “I may force myself to do it one more time because the result is so worth it. And also my dad said to me that his only regret in life was that he had only two children and he didn’t have more… My mother loved each [pregnancy] to bits; she felt alive and beautiful. I wanted to throw up all the time.”

On being very open to adoption: “I do feel we’re so fortunate, and we kind of owe it to humanity. We have a lot of love to give and a lot of resources.”

On her support for Barack Obama: “I don’t feel there’s any lip service with [Obama]. I don’t feel like he’s one of those jaded politicos who say one thing and are talking out of both sides of their mouth. I also feel we’ve done such damage to our reputation – and as someone who lives outside America for half the year, I overhear things that I wish I didn’t overhear. A lot of people in the West think that we’re not very sensitive to the rest of the world, and I think that having a president called Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 says that we are part of the world, and we don’t want to make unilateral decisions about the fate of all of us. I just pray to God that he wins.”

Here is the rest of her editorial.

Proenza Schouler Fall 2008 & Versace Fall 2008

In her editorial she talks about preserving her childhood, how she stays grounded and her boyfriend James Rosseau.

On her career during high school: “I didn’t want to be the ‘child actress.’ Some strange little part of me knew I had to go through those challenging teenage years and not be interrupted by Hollywood. I shot a few things over summer holidays like [TV series] Young Americans and Remember the Titans, but I wanted to take the time to study.”

On how she stays grounded: “Once you go through the experience of being dragged through the mud, you don’t ever give a sh*t ever again. Being a public figure there’s always this fear. ‘Do they like me?’ It’s a high school thing. My tips are: 1. Don’t read anything [written about you] — it’s all full of sh*t. 2. Have good people around you. 3. Laugh.”

On helping boyfriend James discover his musical talent: “He has always played and written music — it’s the poet in him. I would always hear him strumming and say, ‘James, you have to give this a go.’ Being in a creative field, I understand how nerve-wracking it is to put yourself out there. My best friend’s husband is a music producer and has a studio here. He’s Dutch, James is British. I knew they’d smoke a lot of cigarettes, drink red wine, and have a blast recording the album.”

Here are some stunning pictures from her editorial.

For the June 2008 edition of Harper’s Bazaar, former Hollywood wild child, Nicole Richie talks about staying in, mellowing out, and having a child of her own.

Here are some extracts from her interview:

On what surprises her most about motherhood: “Hmm, I would say how fun it is. Everybody talks about how difficult it is in the first three months, but I absolutely love it.”

On her boyfriend Joel Madden: “Yeah, for being so opposite, we could possibly hate each other. We were friends first. We just have fun together.”

On how many children she wants: “I want five children, twin boys and three girls. I’ve wanted that since I was a little girl.”

On a Lionel-Joel duet: “Sure, why not? My dad really respects Joel as an artist, and they’re both really great songwriters, so you never know.”

On marriage: “One day, yeah – not tomorrow, not today. We are committed to our family. I’m 26. I’ve definitely had a very eventful year. So right now, it’s about me enjoying my time with my daughter.”

Mary-Kate Olsen on Nicole: “Nicole is one of the most loving and nurturing mothers I have yet to come across.”

Father Lionel Richie on Nicole: “Motherhood has given her all the keys to understanding how her mother and I were trying to raise her. Now it has come full circle.”

Here is the stunning editorial, shot at Lionel Richie’s Beverly Hills home.

Bill Blass Fall 2008

Fergie has been very busy lately, what with getting engaged and dodging daily pregnancy rumours, and she has also recorded the opening song for the long-awaited Sex and the City movie. The song is called Labels or Love, and it is truly awful. You can listen to it on the You Tube clip below.

Fergie said “I grew up watching Sex and the City, and I know a lot of my girlfriends did as well. We felt like these characters were our friends, so to be a part of this project has been amazing. I’m such a fan of the show and am very flattered they asked me to be involved”.

I wish they hadn’t.

Since her April 2008 editorial in Tatler magazine, which was her first official portrait, we have seen a lot more of the young royal out and about in London.

Here are some extracts from her interview:

On her sister: “Like all sisters we have silly arguments about unimportant stuff, but we do love each other to death.”

On her parents: “They are the best divorced couple I know. They just always went out of their way to make us feel loved and secure.”

On her Grandmother the Queen: “Supergran. Truly one of the most amazing women ever. She is also very funny….All I can say is that she has this air of magic about her. She is incredibly wise. What doesn’t she know?!”

In her interview she says, “These people are fascinated by me, but I haven’t done anything, if you’re a big Nirvana fan, a big Hole fan, then I understand why you would want to get to know me, but I’m not my parents.”

Smart kid.

The rest of the editorial is themed to depict various movie theme’s.

On Giorgio Armani: “…the thought of being associated with Giorgio Armani, the man; the artist; the icon. I mean, he’s an adjective, you know what I mean?”

Giorgio Armani has 3 words for Cate, “Bella, intelligente, sensibile”. AGREED, Agreed, agreed. That is why I love her.

Giorgio Armani first dressed Cate for the 2005 BATFA Awards and their working relationship/friendship as developed. I truly believe he designs with Cate in mind as his collection is perfectly in tuned with her style and sensibilities. I wonder if he will make a maternity collection for the now pregnant Cate.
