Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are the cover girls for the latest issue of Nylon Magazine. Here are a few choice quotes from the interview:

Leighton on playing her character on Gossip Girl: “Maybe I’ve known [Blair] somehow or I know her in myself and she needs somebody to portray her in a way that isn’t completely harsh because she could be so hated.”

Blake on how she almost turned down the show: “[I thought] if there are pet monkeys wearing coordinating outfits, that’s not something I’m going to want to be a part of…. ”

Leighton on Gossip Girl style: “Serena is more thrown together and effortless and doesn’t really care, and is just like, has this sexiness to her without trying, and Blair is really uptight and conservative and put together and everything has to be perfect, you know Chuck is kind of cocky and he’s just like, I don’t know, a prick.”

Blake on the weirdness of Internet Message boards: “Yeah, it’s kind of crazy but after the first Sisterhood trailer even came out, um, I guess it’s maybe I’m the only person with long blonde hair in Hollywood. I don’t know, but everyone was like, “Oh, she should be Serena.”

Gwyneth Paltrow opens up about her postpartum depression in the May 2008 cover of Vogue.

“You know, I had postnatal depression after [my second child] Moses,” Gwyn says. “I didn’t know I had it until after it was over. I just didn’t know what was wrong with me…I felt really out of my body. I felt really disconnected. I felt really down; I felt pessimistic.”

According to E! Online, Gwyn has knocked her daily wardrobe down to a few basic items like minidresses and tights, a pair of jeans, two coats and a couple of different-style boots in the winter.

Explains Ms. Paltrow, “It’s like I want to eliminate all of the fuss. I don’t have time anymore to sit there and be like, What should I wear? What goes with this?”

Speaking of trainer Tracy Anderson, apparently Gwyneth introduced her to Madonna!

Gwyn says, “I still haven’t learned my lesson about not sharing my people with Madonna, because she steals them away forever.”

Here is a new photo of Vanessa Hudgens from the May 2008 issue of GQ via Popstar. (Ashton Kutcher is on the cover.)

“If you have paparazzi, you know you’ve gotten somewhere,” the 19-year-old High School Musical star says.

When asked about her nude photo scandal, Vanessa shrugs it off, sayin, “Honestly, you have your ups and downs. But it’s over with and it’s done.”

As for her sophomore album, tentatively titled Identified, she says, “But not to the point where I’m singing I’m so hot! I’m so hot! Boys want me. I’m so hot!”

Vanessa and the gang (including Zac Efron) are currently at a top secret location in Utah shooting the feature film, High School Musical 3.

UPDATE: This new picture is in the May 2008 issue of GQ, not Details!

Uma Thurman keeps it casual at the screening of her new movie, The Life Before Her Eyes, on Tuesday in New York City.

The drama thriller tells the story of teenage friends Diana and Maureen who are forced to make a painful choice when a gunman at their high school confronts them in the bathroom. Uma, who plays the older version of Diana, said she was instantly drawn to the story because she liked the script.

“I was so much reminded of how difficult and lonely it was to be a teenager and that experience,” she said. “At the same time the sort of shocking thing about random chaotic violence can do to our lives and I don’t know, it was very moving.”
