They were probably waiting for Paris Hilton, and I just happened to come out. I have never before or since said something like this, because it’s so disgusting, but I turned to her and was like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry. I’m really famous. They need to take my picture. Sucks for you.'” [Page Six]

I didn’t really, by somebody else’s standards, but it’s very nice to hear that, especially as an actress in Hollywood. Nick has said he would divorce me if I got Botox.” So much more at the link.

Q: I heard you once instructed a photographer not to airbrush you — that can’t be right, can it? Emily Blunt: “I told him not to make me thinner. I hate when your legs are three times the length they actually are. I heard they could raise your nipples if you have a slightly see-through top, lift your bum-they can do everything. I can understand there are things like shadows they need to fix after a shoot, but it’s unfair to represent an image of yourself if it’s not true. They’re gonna see what you look like on film anyway, so why try to cover all your wobbly bits in a photo?” [LA Times]

But, the physical side of it has evolved very gradually. I think that’s been a great way to explore a relationship.” — Emily Deschanel, on her Bones character. [Parade]
“I am so happy my parents never made me worry about finding a husband.

I’m with this guy who’s so unafraid to… I think he’s the first guy in a decade who’s given me any kind of compliment, like saying I’m pretty or anything.” — Sarah Silverman. [Page Six]

“I feel bad that people believe this kind of stuff or any random rumor that is taken as fact because ‘it’s on the internet.’ This rumor is particularly ironic because I was actually happy with a business class seat and was offered a seat in first class. A friend of mine was sitting in coach so asked if they could bump him up to business instead of putting me in first. There was absolutely no altercation in any way. There’s been many a time where I’ve given someone in coach my business or first class seat in order to sit next to a friend I bumped into. I really could care less about where I sit on the plane. It’s hard to deal with the rumors sometimes. As a good person with a warm heart, it does bother me. I’m not bigger than feeling pain, embarrassment, stress and worry. Have you ever been lied on??? How does it make you feel??? You wanna tell everybody it’s not true right? Thank you to all my fans who still love and support me even though it’s not the trend right now! I’m sleeping in the studio and I won’t let you guys down!” — Kayne West, on the erroneous report that he threw a fit over sitting in business class. He seems to have abandoned the ALL CAPS, which makes me a little sad. [Kanye Universecity]

“The romantic comedy is dead! I’m out of business! Back on Pretty Woman, they said love stories don’t play in Europe and Asia. They were wrong. The business has changed now: overseas is the bigger marketplace, and it’s easier to sell an action movie overseas. But two things I’m sure audiences all over the world understand: prostitutes and love.” — Garry Marshall, director of Valentine’s Day. [Newsweek]
“Ask me, ‘What do you see when you look in the mirror in the morning?’ and I’ll be like, ‘Someone who is more overweight than I actually am.’ It’s body dysmorphia.” — Lily Allen. [The Sun]
