Cosby accusers cover
New York magazine interviews and photographs 35 of Cosby’s alleged victims, supplementing the story with video interviews with six.
The group of women Cosby allegedly assaulted functions almost as a longitudinal study — both for how an individual woman, on her own, deals with such trauma over the decades and for how the culture at large has grappled with rape over the same time period. In the ’60s, when the first alleged assault by Cosby occurred, rape was considered to be something violent committed by a stranger … But among younger women, and particularly online, there is a strong sense now that speaking up is the only thing to do, that a woman claiming her own victimhood is more powerful than any other weapon in the fight against rape.

Kardashian poses for the August/September issue of Complex magazine.
I don’t know if I’m ever gonna feel like ‘Daaamn, you look good. But I’ve never felt as comfortable in my own skin than I do now.
Inside the issue, she talks about the men in her life, her relationship with Caitlyn Jenner, and her sisters:
I am a lion and these are my cubs. Don’t f–k with my cubs ’cause I will rip your head off.

Lennon’s assassination made him a ‘martyr’
In an interview with Esquire magazine McCartney comments on how Lennon’s status changed after his murder:
The Beatles split up [in 1970] and we were sort of all equal. George did his record, John did his, I did mine, Ringo did his. It was as we were during the Beatles’ times. We were equal. When John got shot, aside from the pure horror of it, the lingering thing was, ‘OK, well, now John’s a martyr. A JFK.’ I started to get frustrated because people started to say, ‘Well, he was the Beatles.’ And me, George and Ringo would go, ‘Er, hang on. It’s only a year ago we were all equal-ish.
John was the witty one, sure. John did a lot of great work. And post-Beatles he did more great work, but he also did a lot of not-great work. Now the fact that he’s now martyred has elevated him to a James Dean, and beyond. So whilst I didn’t mind that – I agreed with it – I understood that now there was going to be revisionism. It was going to be: John was the one. I mean, if you just pull out all his great stuff and then stack it up against my not-so-great stuff, it’s an easy case to make.
He also discusses the order of the attribution of the Beatles songs, which was supposed to switch according to the main writer.
The original artwork had ‘Yesterday by John Lennon and Paul McCartney’ and a photo of John above it. And I went, ‘Argh, Come on, lads.’ Anyway they wouldn’t do it [change the names around]…I tell you what, if John was here he would definitely say that’s OK. Because he didn’t give a damn. It wasn’t anything that worried him. But I’ve given up on it. Suffice to say. In case it seems like I’m trying to do something to John.
Marie Claire cover
Ora appears on the July cover of Marie Claire magazine:
I would rip my T-shirts and be really punk and not clean. And I would have blonde hair, really dark eyebrows, red lipstick, lots of fake rings that made my fingers go green. I wouldn’t be smelling that great…. But me and my friends, we were really, like, rebel-y. I feel like I lived a lot when I shouldn’t have.
Vanity Fair cover
Jenner comes out as Caitlyn on the cover of Vanity Fair., appearing in a corset in a photo by Liebowitz.
If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life. You never dealt with yourself,’ and I don’t want that to happen.
In the article she describes doing public appearances after winning the gold medal:
Underneath my suit I have a bra and panty hose and this and that and thinking to myself, They know nothing about me. . . . Little did they know I was totally empty inside. Caitlyn. doesn’t have any lies.
InStyle cover
Kaling appears on the cover of June 2015 issue of InStyle. She talks about her romance with B.J. Novak.
My relationship with B.J. Novak is weird as hell. He is not my boyfriend, but he is not my best friend…I guess you could describe our relationship as a romantically charged camaraderie with loud arguments, but I don’t think Facebook would accept this as a new status.
Elle cover
Theron appears on the cover of June 2015 issue of Elle UK. She talks about her relationship with fellow actor Sean Penn.
Putting aside that he’s my partner, he’s the love of my life. For the first time I felt my work was bleeding into my life and that made it hard.
Glamour cover
Kendrick appears on the cover of June 2015 issue of Glamour. She talks about gender bias in Hollywood and turning 30.
I felt different at 29 because 29, to me, is 30. There are times when I still feel like an actual toddler in a grown-up—well, semi-grown-up—body. But other times I can’t wait to actually be 30, just so I can say things like, ‘I’m 30. I don’t have time for that. F–k off!’
Cosmopolitan cover
Deschanel appears on the cover of June 2015 issue of Cosmopolitan. She talks about achieving success and not posing for a ‘body after baby’ tabloid photo shoot.
Haven’t we all seen those pictures of a sexy new mom in a bikini after one month? I will not be that person. I’ve always gone my own course and never been someone who had the need to be super skinny. I like a healthy look. I don’t buy into that skinny-is-better mentality.
Harper’s Bazaar cover
Stewart appears on the cover of June 2015 issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK. She talks about fame and having sex scenes in a movie.
Fame is the worst thing in the world. Especially if it’s pointless. When people say, I want to be famous – why? You don’t do anything.
Hollywood Reporter cover
Portman is interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter and appears on the cover: On Netanyahu:
I’m very much against Netanyahu. Against. I am very, very upset and disappointed that he was re-elected. I find his racist comments horrific. However, I don’t — what I want to make sure is, I don’t want to use my platform [the wrong way]. I feel like there’s some people who become prominent, and then it’s out in the foreign press. You know, shit on Israel. I do not. I don’t want to do that.
On Ramsey leaving Jane Got a Gun, just days before the shoot:
I’m as mystified as I think everyone was, and it was pretty devastating. I mean, maybe she’ll speak to it one day. I don’t know. I got there one week before we were supposed to start, in Santa Fe, and it seemed like there had been stuff going on that I had sort of been sheltered from. And yeah, it was really, really difficult, and we were lucky that [director] Gavin [O’Connor] came on so quickly. She didn’t come on [set]. I saw her like the week before, but on the first day, no. I can only imagine something very difficult was going on for her, and it was devastating.
On married life:
The disappointments are always in myself, and like, when you’re faced day to day with someone looking at you, it’s like a mirror that you have to yourself, and you can see your own good behavior and bad behavior. And it’s a beautiful challenge to be the best person in the mirror that you can be. I mean, I don’t beat myself up over it, but I’m not always as generous as I feel like I could be.
Marie Claire cover
Azalea appears on the cover of May 2015 issue of Maire Claire. She speaks out about her decision to embrace her flaws.
I hope women think, Iggy Azalea actually has a body that is relatable to my body…and you should feel f***ing good about that…I’m a little scrappy for sure, but I like that about myself. Even with paparazzi pictures of me looking like complete s**t, and people are like, ‘She should try harder,’ I’m like, no. There’s something to say about not being so contrived all the time. You should hold on to that as long as you can.
SELF cover
Whiteley appears on the cover of May 2015 issue of SELF magazine. She talks about how she coped with daunting work schedule during filming of Mad Max and about being an actress.
I never set out to be an actress…I’m always open if something great comes along, but it’s not where I see my long-term future.
WSJ cover
Mulligan appears on the cover of the May 2015 issue of WSJ magazine. She talks about about early career struggles and regrets she has about roles she has accepted and rejected.
My parents were really protective and didn’t think this was a particularly solid career. They didn’t exactly forbid me, but they wanted me to go to university. I had other plans...We have this running joke in my family about how they were right. They say, ‘See, we told you that you were never going to make it.’ They have all proverbially eaten their hats.
Vogue cover
Mulligan appears on the cover of May 2015 issue of Vogue. She talks about her preference to keep her personal life as private as possible.
I have always felt that the less people know about me, the better. The more similar you look job to job, the more they relate to you from your previous roles That’s why I’ve done loads of really stupid things to my hair in the past to try to not look the same.
American Baby Cover
Hewitt appears on the cover of the May 2015 issue of American Baby. She talks about motherhood and her second pregnancy.
Because so many of us are busy or driven, we forget to take care of ourselves. But when you’re pregnant, it’s all about you – and that baby inside of you. Enjoy a nap; for some reason our generation thinks we can’t do that.
Glamour UK cover
Kendrick appears on the cover of May 2015 issue of Glamour UK. She talks about her role in Pitch Perfect 2 and why she still finds posing on red capet uncomfotable.
Every year that goes by, I think that my on-camera smile is going to get easier…And it’s got worse and worse, to the point where I’m giving that Britney Spears terrified smile, where the lips are upturned, but there’s nothing but fear in the eyes.
