Olivia “My Ex-Husband Killed My Vagina” Wilde covers the August issue of InStyle in a pair of figure-hugging jeans. It’s the jeans issue, and I can get behind that because jeans are usually as dressy as I get these days. Olivia as a cover model seems like an unexpected choice right now because she’s not really promoting anything. Remember how she was everywhere a few years ago? Now that “House M.D.” has been off the air for awhile, Olivia’s taken a few steps back to make some movies, and a peek at her IMDb profile reveals that she’s got a whole slew of movies in various stages of production, but none of her projects will hit theaters for at least a few months.
So this issue is mostly about Olivia wearing pretty clothes (although InStyle has only released one editorial shot) and talking about her own style as well as raving about Jason Sudeikis, with whom she got engaged last winter. Olivia sounds quite smitten with Jason as these excerpts reveal:
She’s confident: “I’m pretty comfortable in my own skin. I’m not the neurotic type. I don’t think there are things lurking everywhere to destroy me. I live pretty much in the present.”
Jason Sudeikis is so amazing: “I like having a real partner. It’s the model I grew up with. It’s part of why I was able to take so many chances in my life, because I felt like someone was watching my back. I could never imagine life without someone I respect, someone who offers me infinite possibilities.”
She does worry about this relationship: “There are spikes and dips and plateaus in this business. I’ve seen couples fall apart through it, and it is heartbreaking. You wonder what will happen–will he love me if I’m not as successful? Will jealousy kill us? I know there will be times when Jason is working more than I am, but I’m actually excited by that. I’m excited by what he will become, what depth he has.”
On her personal style: “I used to dress like [bluesman] John Lee Hooker, with wide-collared polyester shirts and corduroy suits. Boys were my role models back then.” Now, she’s a red carpet fixture. “I have the torso of a tall woman and the lower body of a short woman. Who knows what evolutionary purpose I’ve been made for? People always told me I had nice eyes, so I accentuated that.”

I don’t know, man. On one hand, Olivia claims not to be neurotic, but she seems rather upset over the prospect of Jason growing disinterested in her if and when her career cools. That seems like a strange topic to discuss in a style-centered magazine, right?
As for Olivia discussing her hybrid tall/short physique, that can be a real pain as I’ve learned from physical experience. Long torsos and shorter legs generally mean that one’s tummy and back live in perpetual fear of exposure while one’s jean cuffs are dragging on the ground. A good fit is so important. Although Olivia might be exaggerating a little bit as her recent bikini shots reveal a rather proportional body.
Meanwhile, I am wondering how many of you find Jason Sudeikis hot. He’s a handsome and funny guy but still so “meh,” is he not?

She sounds so insecure and neurotic. Do you think dating Chris Evans would be a better option? lol
WHAT? No, this annoying broad doesn’t deserve CE.
They would implode. Neurosis OD. Even House wouldnt be able to fix that.
Ok, I’m a b*tch, but please humor me…
I SO don’t buy the whole “I’m beautiful, but oh-so-insecure” shtick from her.
She’s like the super confident girl in college who discovered that by playing up her perfectly normal and common insecurities she gets bonus sympathy points. Hum, no. Needs a new angle.
I’m with you. I just can’t stand her.
Throwing her ex-husband under the bus like that shows what a bitch she is. She thinks she’s the center of the world, but like you said, pretends to be shy or insecure to be likeable.
She’s obviously more into Sudeikis than he is into her. And can she please stop talking about him in general? I don’t want to know all these things!
Agreed, Liv. Jason Sudeikis is so bland and boring, I’m not sure why Olivia thinks everyone cares enough to hear her constantly talk about him. Okay, so you have a new man that you think is da bomb – none of us care though!
And she is DEFINITELY one of those girls who plays up her “insecurities”, while deep down inside she thinks she’s the hottest bitch around.
Jason’s funny but not hot. This chick annoys me, not really sure why but I can’t help the eyeroll every time I see her.
If this is the “jeans issue” then why is she not in jeans?
Man, I used to think she was SO beautiful but she just seems gross to me now. Amazing what an annoying personality can do to someone.
…and ITA that Jason is NOT hot and the two of them together make me wanna punch a wall.
Gah! Dislike.
I blow hot and cold on her because she is really funny in interviews and I am not invested in her enough to work up a proper hate. But then I read some of her interviews (on CB, mainly) and think she’s a piece of work.
Jason is an odd one too. He is not hot (not bad looking but I would not pick him out in a crowd) but he presents himself as if he belonged in the Sexiest Man Alive.
@J-I think it’s the two of them together that made me start disliking her. When she started talking about her ex and her current sex life with Jason..I don’t know. I thought it was a bit vom-y.
Jason IS that guy that is over-confident. He’s someone who always shoots for the girls that are out of his league and he somehow gets them. Maybe he’s a great guy. Maybe he treats women like gold–that counts for a hell of a lot, but I don’t see anything particularly attractive about his looks or personality. Eh.
I prefer to think he’s hung like a horse and is able to extract the pit of a plum using his tongue? But then, I prefer to think that of most.
@J-I thought about the Giant Dong Factor as well. If this is indeed the case, rest assured we’ll hear about it in Olivia’s next interview.
I don’t find her irritating at all. I think celebs get into a corner, because people don’t want to hear about how great their lives are (sounds like bragging), but then they also don’t want to hear about normal human problems they might have (sounds like they are whining).
Two of my friends who run in different circles both know her (but they don’t know each other), and I hear the same thing from both people: she’s genuine, kind, sincere, funny, and pretty smart.
Since it comes from two separate sources, I am inclined to believe it.
Olivia works A LOT, but none of her films catch on. It’s actually amazing, you’d think one of these projects would give her some amount of success, but no…
Her career is giving off Jen Aniston vibes. She’s making crumby movies and talks about her relationships (past and present) to get attention. Also, talks about her body too much. She’s so pretty! When she talks about her flaws like it’s so hard to be her it’s tough to like her.
JS seems like a d-bag that will leave her for a younger chick in a few years. There’s something so shady about him.
Shame – I thought she was hilarious in ‘Butter’, all bad-ass on a kids BMX
He’s attractive. She is not. I honestly don’t enjoy her as an actress. Even in House I was always waiting for her character to be written off. I still haven’t forgiven her for her terrible performance in Cowboys vs Aliens. That movie was terrible for so many reasons but she herself tops the list.
Sounds like she has good reason to be insecure!
I think she seems full of herself. When did Sudekis date January Jones?
Up until about nine months before baby Xander was born
😉
But was there overlap with Olivia?
There wasn’t an overlap, but Lainey made mention of all of them being at a vanity Fair party and Olivia acting… (surprise!) insecure when January was around.
This is just like when she said something about not being beautiful enough for Jason. It’s fine and absolutely normal to have insecurities but why does she like to advertise hers? It annoys me for no reason.
She does seem insecure in interviews. She also seems really head over heels for Jason, which is great until they are married and reality sets in. Nothing is that perfect.
I cant help but see Jason every time there is a pic of January’s son.
I liked her well enough on House, but her movie characters haven’t been very interesting. The main thing is that her voice drives me nuts. Flat, monotone. I keep mentally urging her to take voice lessons to develop it a bit.
Good grief, does her entire existence hang on this relationship? She couldn’t sound more neurotic if she tried.
Agreed. She comes off so try hardy! Just shut up about your relationship already.
What is she gonna say if they break up? my vagina is depressed? Shush girl!! Tmi already
She should be more concerned about what’ll happen after the marriage license is filed. Didn’t he divorce his first wife because he became a little more famous and he wanted to hook up with other women?
I used to think she was so gorgeous, now I look at her and all I can see is that jaw! It’s very cool that Olivia and Jason seem to have a real, down to earth relationship. The way she describes him, it sounds like they have a great thing going, good for them. But I’ve always felt the comments about her ex killing her vagina? Well, that’s something you say in private to your best friend, not the press!
Wow. I like her and think she’s beautiful. Quite normal, pleasant personality.
Same here. I’ve never really read her interviews so I’m probably not getting the issue, but what I’ve seen of her she seems like she might be a bit of craic to be around.
She has always bugged me. Some chicks just seem to enjoy the attention way too much, and she is one of them.
And also….She needs to STFU
So sick of celebs that talk too much!
I definitely do not find him hot. When I have gorgeous men like Ewan McGregor or Jon Hamm to look at, this dude doesnt even register. He comes off like a grown up frat boy to me. And I only even barely find him funny. He mostly annoys me in anything I watch him in. Lol obviously not a fan!!
There’s so much photoshop in that picture it doesn’t even look like her. Whose hair is that anyway? It’s not hers.
I came here to say this. The photoshop is ridiculous here.
She is so weird about Jason, right? Maybe he’s the aloof type and it enthralls her and also makes her feel insecure. It’s a bit strange though.
Actually it’s NICE that an actress is talking about career anxieties in a ‘Woman’s Issues’ magazine. How many ‘I like to wear Valentino and moisturize and do pilates’ interviews do we need?
Also, she will be in RUSH, opposite Hemsworth, in a couple of months.
Does RUSH open in Russia the same time as the US? You, me and Marty must go see this at the same time along with the rest of his harem and have a proper hen party the next day.
Why is she on the cover of a magazine?
(I think he’s hot).
looks like not much competition around these parts for him………
Oh man… The worst mistake you can make as a woman is let a man know your insecurities “will he leave me for someone younger? Will he be bored with me? Will he stop loving me?” Whatever you feel, don’t advertise it. Because plenty of times you’re just putting ideas in their heads, like hey, maybe I AM too good for her, should I play the field more? It’s best to just keep that stuff to yourself. A girl with low self-esteem and paranoid is very dumpable. He’s supposed to feel like he’s the lucky one. Not like he’s the one doing you the favor.
It’s just sad to see the way seemingly intelligent women react and change when they’re in relationships. They just immediately assume the co-pilot role. That is what sets us back so much.
Also I think it can cause a bit of resentment. “Does she really distrust me so much?” “Does she really think I’m so shallow?”
Sometimes those insecurities become self-fulfilling prophecies in a way because you’re so insecure and constantly doubting yourself, your partner, and your relationship, it can put a wedge between you two. It’s kind of self destructive in that way.
Nothing hot about him. He has that uncle/dad vibe about him. I liked her till she started sounding like some insecure woman whose life revolves around some man. She used to present herself as a strong intelligent woman, now she sounds like some kind of desperate housewife.
She sounds like someone who was desperate to get married…finally found someone who would marry her and now is terrified he will leave. The absolute STANDARD for being insecure.
Except Jason will be husband #2
“There are spikes and dips and plateaus in this business. I’ve seen couples fall apart through it, and it is heartbreaking. You wonder what will happen–will he love me if I’m not as successful? Will jealousy kill us? I know there will be times when Jason is working more than I am, but I’m actually excited by that. I’m excited by what he will become, what depth he has.”
She saved herself with that last sentence, but really, if these kinds of thoughts go through your head you probably have no business getting married. I mean, how will they manage if something really bad happens, like a serious illness? It should be a natural instinct to want the best for the person you love and give them your unconditional support.
She does have a long torso/short legs, however her body and face is quite feminine and pretty. Jason is funny probably which goes a long way.. as long as they are happy good for them, though she does sound extra neurotic..
Why is he wearing tennis shoes with his tux??? He looks like a bro to me, not hot.
they are both meh
Jason Sudekis bothers me. I get a “I’m so much cooler and smarter than you” vibe from him.
He probably won’t care about her success but if she’s going to be doing this constantly, just asking, begging for attention and “pls pls pls tell me you love me” it’s soon going to get rather boring and that he might care about. Get some self esteem girl!
