I like Emma Stone. I don’t know much about her beyond the handful of interviews I’ve read, and thus far, I haven’t really gotten a major feeling on her personality. She seems kind of dorky and self-aware, professional and humble… so far. She seems “real” – but this is an industry where “real” is often the product of some hardcore machinations and image-making. What am I saying? I want Emma to remain this wise, dorky, professional, sweet and funny girl for as long as she can, but I’ll understand it if she falls off of the pedestal I’ve put her on. For now, I’ll enjoy her. Emma is the August cover girl for Vanity Fair (how wrong would it be if Emma’s cover was followed by a Blohan cover?!?). In the interview excerpts VF released, Emma sounds… awesome. She even mocks the Tracy Anderson “diet”. I love her!
“I micro-manage,” Emma Stone tells Vanity Fair writer Alexandra Wolfe. “I think I’m a Type A personality who’s trying to convince herself she’s Type B,” the actress says, admitting that she still lays out her clothes and sets her coffee-maker for the morning the night before.
Stone, who confesses she was nervous for her V.F. bikini cover shot, saying, “I usually wear a one-piece,” jokes that her only vices are sugar, wine, and black-tar heroin. “That’s pretty much it, the heroin, the sugar, and the wine—nothing too crazy.”
“Sometimes people recognize me,” Stone says of her public profile, “but they’re more like, ‘Oh, hey!’” As Stone’s star rises, however—the actress will appear in The Help, Friends with Benefits, and Crazy, Stupid, Love this summer—so does the presence of the paparazzi.
“He stands up while I’m walking to my car and is like, ‘Hey, Emma! Listen, I’m going to delete these pics. Here’s my card,” Stone recalls of a recent encounter with a paparazzo. “‘If you ever go to the beach with your friends or walk out of your house in your pajamas, call me.’” Stone, confused, refused his card. “He’s like, ‘But I’m deleting these pictures, see?’ … These guys try to strike up a deal with you so you feel like they’re your friend. I didn’t even know that was a thing—that people would call them.”
Stone, who rarely tweets and shut off her Facebook account after she “got addicted to FarmVille,” admits to Wolfe that she is still grappling with certain aspects of being in the public eye—dating, for one. “Talking about this stuff is pretty new,” Stone, who won’t say if she is single or not, says of being asked by the press about her personal life. The actress concludes that “the only solution I’ve come to when it comes to things like that—the health of my family or dating, really personal things—is not to talk about it.”
As for the pressure in Hollywood to stay thin, while Stone allows that “I’m definitely more conscious of it as I’ve gotten older,” she says that she has not succumbed to extreme celebrity fad diets. “That diet, have you seen it?” Stone asks of the popular trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson’s recommended diet. “It’s like: Eat this diet, which is a palm-size piece of chicken and some beans, and work out two hours a day for the rest of your life.”
The actress, who rock-climbs at Chelsea Piers in New York City, even admits that weight training and Pilates with Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield “brings out anger in me.”
Before her breakout role in Superbad, Stone had dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of acting, enrolling in online classes and working part-time at a dog bakery. “I think three people called my specific cookies inedible to their dogs,” Stone said with a laugh. “I’m not a super-talented dog baker.”
Stone, however, insists she has no regrets. “I did Superbad in what would’ve been my senior year,” she says. “I was playing a senior, and had I graduated I would’ve missed that opportunity, and had I missed that opportunity I wouldn’t be here right now.”
Stone tells Wolfe that she still remembers what she considers her hardest Hollywood moment, an audition for NBC’s Heroes. “I could hear that, in the other room, a girl had just gone in and they were saying, ‘You are our pick … On a scale of 1 to 10 you’re an 11,’” Stone recalls, before Hayden Panettiere—who ended up with the role of Claire Bennet—walked out of the room. “I went home and just had this meltdown,” Stone says, calling the experience “rock bottom.”

I think that’s why Emma seems “real” – she remembers hearing the word “no”. Probably because she was hearing it so much just a few years ago. Too many of these young actors, they don’t remember “no.”
When Emma spoke about her love life, did anyone else get a flash of Andrew Garfield and Emma having hot sex? I did. I want them to be a real couple – just because my idea of them together is really, really hot.
Anyway – congrats to Emma on her first Vanity Fair cover! I can’t say I love the cover shot, but I like that VF is recognizing a young talent (instead of a dead celebrity, or Linnocent).

Aw poor gal. She’s tons better than Hayden. And Hayden was only an 11 on their scale because she fit into their little box of a cheerleader type. That’s all she has going for her. That’s it!

I like this girl, too…thought she was great in Superbad.
but I think she looks better with darker hair.

That interview sounds way too good to be true! She just has really good PR advisers and is smart enough to build a “down to earth” image.

she’s very likeable and talented. I jsut hate they styled her in a way that makes you think of lindsay lohan. Love her so much more with darker hair, it is much nicer against her skin. Very pretty girl though.

I love Emma’s style. For a such a young girl, she really has a sense of what’s cool and works on her and she doesn’t play it safe. Although I have to say, I want to cut the tail off that mullet dress, I don’t care who wears it, that never ever works.

That cover reminds me so much of the Lohan cover from a few years back where she sort of admitted to abusing cocaine. I really like Emma and I hope it stays that way. She’s hilarious, self deprecating and honest.
I’m with you Kaiser. I’m down with Stone/Garfield sex. I have a BIG crush on him and the thought of them doing it is hot.

I love everything she has been in but my favorite is still The House Bunny and Easy A in a close second place.

LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! My girl crush and pick for A-list glory!!!
And I agree with @Ron, she has great style. She doesn’t try to be slutty or play it too safe.

I want to like her, but I can’t help but find her image very manufactured. She makes fun of the Tracy Anderson diet, but she lost a massive amount of weight when she first started getting roles (compare her figure in “The House Bunny” to now). She wasn’t overweight before in any way, but now she’s stick thin. It just seems slightly hypocritical and manufactured, as if she says she doesn’t like extreme diets and exercise to be relatable rather than because it’s what she really thinks. Maybe I’m wrong and just jaded, though. It’s entirely possible.

Please go back to RED!

I haven’t seen her in anything. She seems nice. I do hope she never does the bangs again. She looks a tad Mena Suvari in the bangs picture. That is not a good look unless you are ET.
Just like Olivia Wilde should never ever NOT do bangs, Emma should never, ever DO bangs.

i have no idea who this girl is but the fact that she called out tracy anderson & goopy on their diet of terror makes me love her.

She sounds pretty great, griping about that ridiculous diet and knowing not to talk about things that are too personal.
The best thing that happened to her was not getting cast on Heroes, that show was pretty awful, and it didn’t exactly launch HP to super stardom now, did it?

Love her – the black tar heroin line is great. I do wish she would go back to RED… and start banging Andrew Garfield. Yes, that was my first thought, too.

She sounds ok, but you do not get or stay that thin without dieting and excercise so that’s nonsense.

She was great in Easy A. And I’m beginning to crush on Andrew Garfield after seeing his great performance in The Social Network. They would make a super-cute couple!

@GeekChic – Well, there’s losing weight a healthy way, which I think she did because she didn’t drop to stick size in two weeks, and then there is the ridiculous unhealthy Tracy Anderson diet. Anything that encourages you not to eat daily any more than a bird could eat in a month should be mocked.

She’s awesome. Why are people soo cynical that they think she can’t be real or that all celebrities are manufactured and such?

Shes great but I HATE that cover shot. Its so cheesy and pin-up and that doesnt look right with her. Idk.

They all look the same, they’re all styled the same way. If someone were to say, ‘Hey, maybe let not do the Beach Blanket Bardot look’, the entire set would melt into its foundations. I’m sorry, I’ve never had any respect for this publication’s cover choices and if someone said ‘Hey, maybe could acknowledge one of the myriad non-white faces enough for it to be more than a half-assed gesture of tokenism tucked in the back there–’. No, that would never happen. Let’s ask Anna, I’m sure she’s game. No disrespect to whoever is on the cover, it’s just that my eyes are blurring over, and the tango of celebrity branding is drained and draining.

What I like about this chick is that she seems GRATEFUL for the roles she’s got. She, unlike Lohan and other starlets seems to understand that there are THOUSANDS of girls just as pretty, young and eager to get into the movie business so she wants to keep focused and make it work. Most actresses seem to think the world owes them something.

I love Emma Stone too! She was fabulous in Easy A and seems like she has a great sense of humor – good pick VF!

She was heavier a year ago so she is succumbing to the Hollywood pressure to be thin but trying to pretend she isnt by bagging on a certain diet. Its hypocritical to be on a cover in a bikini that has been photoshopped but to then pretend weight doesnt affect her.

Having her on the cover kind-of-sort-of-slightly compensates for the other one. Emma is so talented.

I like her but that cover shot is lousy. She looks so much better as a redhead plus I don’t like the way she was styled for the photo-very generic.

I know the blonde hair is natural but it makes her look generic and makes her eyes look HUGE. To be fair, she couldn’t talk about her relationship with Andrew Garfield because he is supposed to be with his ex-girlfriend at the time. A bit of over-lap with Emma Stone. It would be tacky to bring it up. Hope they don’t break up now that they aren’t filming Spiderman. Young love burns hot and dies quick.

I like her, but please-calling out the anderson diet is what I would call major pandering on her part. It’s such a calculated move that screams, “she’s just like us!”
Well, no she isn’t. And the reality is she’s slimmed down SIGNIFICANTLY since Super Bad, she is hardly recognizable actually.
Still like her, but I’m over these young stars saying one thing while their bodies are telling me something different. They all play the game, don’t buy into the rhetoric.

I like her and she is super cute in interviews. She should be so happy she didn’t get the role in Heroes. HP didn’t ride that to any outside success. Sometimes TV is the kiss of death for anyone wanting a movie career.
I don’t like the cover. It doesn’t look like her. Hate the blonde too many blonds. And I have to agree with one of the posters. All the younger actresses are making me feel deja vu. They are all too similar in some ways; Interchangeable.

Well, the interview with Emma Watson was EXTREMELY manufactured, in Vanity Fair and US Vogue!!! And people are so not skeptical of her. Emma Stone is a really nice well rounded girl, in interviews. My friend works in the Hollywood industry and she says that she’s great
