Ashley Greene is the cover girl for the August issue of Cosmopolitan. It’s kind of meh, right? Meh bordering on God-awful. Between the wind machine, the pink jeans and the crop-top/bustier, I feel like this is a cover from the 1980s. But what can you really do with Ashley Greene in an editorial for a women’s magazine? Obviously, the men’s magazines know what to do with her – which is why Esquire has a pictorial with Ashley, and a short interview. Maybe my problem is that Ashley isn’t that photogenic? It’s true. Anyway, Ashley is making the magazine rounds because she’s promoting Butter, that film that people have been talking about for what feels like two years. Is it finally coming out? Hallelujah. Ashley is like the sixth lead in the film, though – she’s billed after Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde and Hugh Jackman. Still, she managed to squeeze a cover out of it. That’s something! Oh, I just saw this – she’s also promoting The Apparition, a dumb-looking horror movie in which summoned spirits molest her (or whatever). Some highlights from Ashley’s two interviews (you can read the full Esquire piece here):
On getting married: “I’m not one of those girls who sits at home thinking, By 25, I have to be married. Right now, I’m like I’m 25, I need to book my next movie! My parents have such a beautiful marriage. I’m not someone who takes it lightly. So I’m not going to get married until I know I’ll be with someone forever.”
On whether she has a type: “It’s about chemistry and a connection. I’ve changed so much over the past 10 years. What I wanted when I was 16, I didn’t want when I was 20, and that’s changed to something else now that I’m 25. Having a type is not for me”
Always traveling: “You make five movies with the same people and they really do feel like family. But film those same five movies in different locations, and none of the locations ever really feels like home.”
She’s not really a party girl: The party-girl Ashley Greene, the one who can wear any dress, anytime, and make it look like it’s about to fall off, is not without illusion. Ashley Greene does not drink, doesn’t really party. “In my second year in Los Angeles, when I was eighteen, I wasn’t getting any bookings,” she says, “so I stopped going out, stopped partying. It was a matter of getting to the work. I had to focus.”
Twilight: “What Twilight gave me was years to consider how I wanted to work otherwise.”
She’s 25 years old: She says she looks forward to being thirty. “It’s a good age,” she says. “It’s an age of choices. I know, don’t rush it, right?”

She’s kind of vapid, but she manages to be more clever about some things than, say, Megan Fox. Megan Fox was a genius at saying dumb sh-t just for the sake of getting attention. Ashley might want to try doing that a little bit, just so most people could actually pick her out of a lineup. But it’s a good thing that she’s not a Party Girl. I believe that. I believe that seeing how Lindsay Lohan destroyed her career with booze and blow and crack, I think that changed a generation of young actresses for the better. Lindsay became the cautionary (crack) tale. She became the poster girl for How To Destroy A Promising Career. Ashley and Lindsay are the same age – and although Ashley is incredibly boring and full of herself, I’d rather have a dozen more young actresses like her rather than one Cracken.

This girl…she says the same recycled baloney in every interview! Blah blah…need my next job…blah blah…I pound the pavement….blah blah…just say NO to party, YES to booking next job….blah blah…pretty I am but single too! must work while I’m young.
In some ways I respect her work ethic, and that she realizes she has a shelf life, but damn girl! Vapid and boring and incessantly reminding everyone that you will work for food is so old. She’s so cookie cutter I can’t stand it, but I will give her props for knowing and understanding her role in the Hollywood Eco system.

I’m not sure about her work ethic, she was a guest star at Pan Am and being absolutely nasty and snob to everyone because she is a “real movie star” and the likes of Christina Ricci is just TV Star.

Touche! This girl for sure has a nasty case of big head syndrome, and I’m the best actress in the world delusion. Which I think are more personality orders than anything. But I do think she HUSTLES to get work at all, and if that means buckling down she will. That’s what I meant by work ethic.
The personality on this one leaves MUCH left to be desired. Pretentious little snot is how I would imagine her to be from interviews.

Isn’t she the one who is rumoured to be super promiscuous? Yeah I’m thinking her “type” is anything with a penis

She filmed a movie in my home town, hooked up with several men on set, including my friend, who, lèts say is a cross between John Belushi and Chris Farley (looks and personality wise), and I’ve seen pictures! She posed for his iPhone. Ick. However, he came in the restaurant the guy and I worked in at the time, and was very sweet to the girls who wanted pics and autographs.
Also, she doesn’t photograph well. She’s pretty irl. Talllll, long neck, and very pretty.

“A cross between John Belushi and Chris Farley (looks and personality wise)”??? So a fat funny guy?? He must be rich or famous er something. Disssshhhhhh!!!

She can’t be so vapid if she’s willing to see past the Belushi/Farley look no?
And I like that she mentioned what she wanted at 16 evolved at 20 & 25. Maybe some of these “let’s pop out kids right away” teens will read this and take note. I was just looking through an old friends pics and she had 6 kids by 3 different guys before we turned 30!!!

I swear, I can’t type on my iPhone to save my life. No, he was NOT attractive and he is definitely not rich. He really isn’t that funny either. Very obnoxious. My point is, she was a little…promiscuous. But hey, most people are in their early 20s. Like I said, very nice to the girls who wanted her autograph and to take pictures with her

Isn’t she only 5 5″? I consider 5 11″ and up tall, her height would be pretty short.

I never have insider information… like, ever. SOOO… this is exciting for me. Ashley Greene drinks plenty (ALLEGEDLY, hehe). I have no insight on her personality, love life, etc., but I have a friend who got tanked with her in New York. He texted me “Doing shots with Twilight girl,” and I texted back, “OMG, Kristen Stewart?” “No, the other one.” “Anna Kendrick?” “Nooooooo” “Thirteen chick?” “No, Ashley Green.”
Yup. So there. I can have my five minutes of feeling like a badass industry insider and call BS on some spoon-fed publicist-written quote. Oh, it feels divine.

Maybe she was wearing heels? Because she was taller than I am (5’7″). This was like 2 years ago, so I’m kind of fuzzy on what she was wearing. I do remember her neck being VERY long though, which could give the illusion of height.
Katija, that’s awesome

She photographs a hell of a lot better than Stewart, IMO.

I like the black and white shot. Her cheekbones and eyes look more exotic than usual for her, pretty.

The nose is so jacked – the surgeon cut away too much of it on the sides and it ruined her whole look. It’s definitely photo shopped on the magazine cover. Also, it looks like she is wearing Depends in the black and white photo.

I kind of like the fact that she’s not a partier and realizes that it doesn’t get you anywhere. She has gotten way too thin though.

She’s lost so much weight. What happened ???
I think that she’s stunning, jacked up nose and all but she’s so basic it hurts. She has that obvious beauty and nothing sets her apart from the other brown haired, skinny white girls in Hollywood. Twilight was the best thing to happen to her and Apparition looks shit.
I think she’s a great model and should stick to that. Her DKNY shots were so pretty but her acting leaves much to be desired.
Have to hand it to her PR though. They’ve been working over time to make this bland, vanilla actress happen. She radiates basic. The interview was…meh.
As for partying…you can still party as long as you know your limits. Partying doesn’t mean you’ll become like Lohan and it’s really annoying that female celebrities are shamed for doing normal things like partying, drinking, smoking and having sex. Because of this, the new crop of young female actresses are all trying so hard to come across as down to earth and look like wholesome. Last year was all about pretending to be nerdy and geeky. This year is all about being a wholesome, non-partying, non-drinking virgin (not saying that Ashley is pretending). That’s why Blake Lively has to talk a out how few men she’s been with, that poor girl can’t even walk on the road with a man without being called a whore.

Crystal I am shocked that it doesnt bother you that her mouth is open in ALL of her dkny shots. Ashley looks good in that one position and that is it. Shes basic

Also…“What Twilight gave me was years to consider how I wanted to work otherwise.” That’s it?? All it gave you was time to decide what other (better) stuff you wanted to do? Wow, way to look a gift horse right in the chops.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought the same thing. I mean, granted, the source material sucks and it’s not much to work with. But without it, we wouldn’t know about her or her jacked nose.

You have a strangely warped view of Ashley. She is gorgeous and photogenic and looks great on the Cosmopolitan cover. She also doesn’t sound vapid at all. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

Welcome to Hollywood 101. Try and turn what is almost a cameo, but on a blockbuster franchise, into a “career”. I think we all have the right to mock this poor girl for believing her own PR. She might be pretty, but so are hundreds if not thousands of other young women with the same dream. She might have gotten a foot farther in the door than most by being born under a lucky star and winning the role of Alice; a bit part that required no acting skills whatsoever.
However, the main ingredient missing from her recipe is acting talent. No matter how she mixes her batter, watches her cake bake, it ain’t risin’. And in the end she is left with a flat, tasteless, goin’ nowhere fast career.

oh Ashley, always the Bella wannabe, she really must hate Kristen, because outiside of her &Rob and to an extent Taylor, nobody give a crap about the rest of the cast, she has a good pr team that keeps getting her deals, she has lost so much weight, she is cute, but that nose is very distracting.
She really does believe she is a huge star, comparing her relationship with Jonas to Brangelina and Aniston situation, lol really Ashley? and during BD1 promo she probably thought she was Bella promoting all over the world with Rob instead of Kristen

Insider info: She’s totally promiscuous. Before Jackson Rathbone got with his current GF Sheila, him and Ashley got back together for a brief period of time. (this was after Joe Jonas) This was around the time that good ol Gerard Butler crooked his little finger at her. She cheated on Jackson with 9 different guys during their brief rekindled romance. The girl is certifiably insane, and thinks anyone not in the business is beneath her.

Funny you should mention Lindsay Lohan. Pretty sure ashley was papped leaving the Chateau Marmont with Lindsay a few years ago. I wouldn’t necessarily buy her no party story.

So she stopped partying when she was 18, okay, but does that mean she was underage when she was partying hard?
