I know you guys think I give Amanda Seyfried a hard time. Sometimes I don’t give people enough of a chance, I know. Maybe I overreacted to what I saw as Amanda’s snotty, Paltrow-esque statements like “I sacrificed six years in L. A. I did my job out here. I made the contacts and did the work I had to do… I feel lucky it wasn’t longer.” Oh, and this one, on how she feels about signing on to romantic comedies: “It’s hard because they pay a lot of money. Sometimes, when you want to buy an apartment in Manhattan, you gotta do one or two. But in most cases you don’t need to be doing them—there are enough action flicks to keep you busy.”

So I’m going to write about Amanda’s appearance on the new (?) issue of InStyle Hair. I love that InStyle thought they needed to devote a special edition of their magazine just for hair. I like looking at hairstyles as much as the next girl, but let’s mix it up with some fashion and makeup too! So, Amanda is the cover girl, and on InStyle’s site, this is the sole quote they have from her: “I would chop [my hair] all off for a movie, but the role would have to be worth it.” Because she’s Jennifer Aniston now? Like when you think of famous hair, you think “Amanda Seyfried”. NO, I said I was going to be nice. But don’t you get the feeling that Amanda is a legend in her own mind?

Anyway, here’s more from the interview, courtesy of People Mag:

What is Amanda Seyfriend and Dominic Cooper’s secret to a successful long-distance relationship? Racking up lots of frequent flier miles, of course, but the actors also depend on their computers.

“We Skype,” Seyfried, 24, tells InStyle Hair on newsstands Friday about her U.K.-based beau. “It’s boring, but it’s true.”

For the actress, who admits “there’s nothing easy about” a long-distance relationship, and her Mamma Mia! costar-turned boyfriend, talking to each other with a webcam has become so ritual, “We don’t even sit in front of the computer,” she says.

“The other day, I was cleaning, he was cleaning,” she recalls. “We couldn’t see each other – we were just scrubbing away and talking like we were in the same room.”

But when the two do want to get in some real face time, they hop on planes, though it’s not always easy given their busy schedules.

“I worked hard in 2009, but it didn’t seem that hard,” she tells the magazine. “I spent two months in London with Dominic. I shot in Verona, Italy, [for Letters to Juliet]. I mean, how hard is that?”

So is Seyfriend a sucker for Cooper’s English accent? “To be honest, I don’t even notice it anymore,” she says about her boyfriend of three years. “It was really sexy at first – and I still find it so attractive on other British men – but I’ve been with him now for so long, I don’t hear it. He’s like an extension of me.”

What’s the fun in having a skeezy British boyfriend if you’re not around to f-ck his brains out and listen to his accent? That’s the only reason I’d date a skeezy Brit. And trust me, Dominic is a skeezy Brit – who has been rumored to be romancing several ladies while he and Amanda are apart. But she sticks with him for some reason. Maybe she really is trying to be the new Gwyneth? Only Dominic seems a lot cooler than Chris Martin, honestly. Let me put it this way: I have nightmares about Chris Martin’s bug eyes lunging at me and attacking me, and when I hear Dominic speak, I think “Oh, a skeezy little pocket-sized Clive Owen! Yum.” Big diff.
