I was in CVS yesterday buying some deep conditioning treatment (sidenote: I may have to switch my hair dye to henna, my hair is beat from Clairol) when I saw the new cover of Star, above. At first I wondered if it was new, because my local CVS gets behind with the tabloids, but I realized I would have remembered it, since it’s genuis. This photo is great, right? Plus it’s on Star, not In Touch, which has run several variations of the “Kris Jenner is a monster” cover. They’ve even done this drunk angle before, and Star must have realized it was working for In Touch so they’re on the bandwagon too. (They also jumped on the “Kim Kardashian pregnancy weight gain” train last week, but In Touch did it first!)

The story inside doesn’t sound entirely new, we’ve heard most of it before, about how Kris drinks in the middle of the day, and how Khloe recorded a video of her mom drunk at a basketball game with the message “My mom is f’king drunk. What else is new?” We’ve also heard that her marriage to Bruce Jenner is on the rocks and that divorce is imminent. Only Star claims that Bruce is ready to file papers and that he’s announced it to their kids.

The Kardashian-Jenner clan spent Easter together as a family this year… but after the festivities, when Kris stepped out for a breather, Bruce gathered the rest of the family for a bombshell of a meeting. He told them he’s divorcing their mom – and already has an attorney drawing up the papers.

“He said he wanted the children to hear it from him and understand why he was doing it,” says a source close to the former Olympian. “He’s so tired of living a lie. Bruce feels like he and Kris don’t even know each other anymore; he compares them to complete strangers living under the same roof.”

After the announcement, Bruce, 65, asked [the kids]… to keep his plans a secret for the time being. But Kris, 57, found out anyway. “Bruce feared her reaction would be bad, and he was right,” the insider reports. She told him she’d make his life a living hell, then packed her suitcase and stormed out in tears…”

“Everyone but Rob was receptive and supportive,” explains the insider. “The whole family was slamming Kris. They’re all thrilled that Bruce is finally filing the papers…”

“The girls have turned their backs on Kris, but Rob couldn’t do it,” the insider adds. “He called his mom and told her that Bruce is filing for divorce – and that the rest of the family is taking Bruce’s side. Kris lost it. She bawled to Rob about how she is all alone now, and Rob told her she would always have him…”

“Kris confronted Bruce – she had been drinking martinis, and she started screaming, calling him a spineless loser for going behind her back. Bruce called her a drunk and said she’s so self-absorbed that she doesn’t know how to love anymore.

“Kris brought up the deal they made about staying together for the sake of their TV show, but Bruce said he’s done pretending,” the source continues. “He straight up said he’d rather be broke and homeless than live another day with her.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, April 22, 2013]

I don’t see Bruce filing for divorce and standing up for himself finally, he’s put up with this sh*t for over 20 years. Does it sound cruel of me to say I hope this is true though? I would love another Kardashian divorce. They’re not a “normal” family that you should root for, but I know I’m going to hell anyway.

Meanwhile, In Touch has released a collector’s edition of the “Kardashian” diaries, which are the journals of the late Robert Kardashian (Kris’ ex and Kim, Kourtney and allegedly Khloe’s father). These were released by his widow, Ellen Kardashian, who has been selling bits and pieces to In Touch for months now. As we’ve heard, the journals detail how Kris was cheating on Robert with a young, kept lover, and how she alternately ignored her kids and abused them when they were young. Ellen continues to dish the dirt about the Kardashians, and has new interviews on Radar Online too. The Kardashians are currently suing Ellen for copyright infringement, claiming that she doesn’t have the legal right to the journals. Ellen claims that Robert left them to her.

Update: of course Kris has denied all this in an overly wordy statement.

Did you know that Angelina Jolie is a big wine drinker? In her 20s, I don’t think she was much of a drinker at all, but since she got with Brad and since she’s become a mom to SIX children, Angie loves her wine. I’ve also heard that she loves to sip some vodka drinks when she’s chilling out too, but mostly I hear about the wine. As for Brad… I still think he’s more of a pot-smoker than a wine-drinker, but maybe he partakes in both in equal measure. Anyway, Brad and Angelina released their very first “Jolie-Pitt/Chateal Miraval” wine label. The announcement – that the wine would go on sale – came weeks ago, and the wine actually went on sale yesterday. And guess what? Brangeloonies LOVE some wine. The label sold out within hours.

Nine little letters on the back of the bottle set this rose wine apart from other fruits of the Provence grape harvest: Jolie-Pitt.

The Miraval Rose 2012 was produced at the southern French estate of Chateau Miraval – none other than the property of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

It’s the first Miraval vintage stamped by the Hollywood couple, in a joint venture with established vintner Marc Perrin. The back label even reads “bottled by Jolie-Pitt and Perrin.”

The Perrin family spokesman says the first 6,000 bottles put on sale online Thursday were bought within five hours. The wine sold for $139 for a six-bottle case.

The wine, in a bottom-heavy, champagne-like bottle, goes on sale to restaurants and wholesalers later this month.

There was no immediate comment from Pitt or Jolie’s publicists.

[From People]

Call me crazy, but I think this is a cool little side-project for Brad and Angelina. Obviously, this isn’t some major career move or anything (“I’m quitting Hollywood to become a winemaker!”), but it’s a sweet addendum to their growing brand and their array of side projects. And who doesn’t love a good rosé? I like a good rosé more than I like a good Chardonnay. And maybe I’m the only person around here who can’t drink Merlot or Cab Sauv without getting a terrible headache.

One of my favorite things in the world is a Jennifer Aniston fluff piece. Sometimes a media outlet will just make something up, or just fluff up a simple story about “Jennifer Aniston doing X with Y” for four paragraphs. I also think the fluff pieces are important – they reveal the priorities of Jennifer’s team. Jennifer’s publicist still hasn’t confirmed or denied on the record many of the brutal stories about the uncool Bermuda Triangle, but her publicist will greenlight People Magazine’s totally EPIC story about what Jennifer is eating while she films a movie in Connecticut. I guess it’s noteworthy because A) Jennifer still drinks like a fish, which means she isn’t pregnant and B) It’s nice to know that Jennifer is branching out beyond her normal comfort zone of Cobb salads and straight vodka with a SmartWater chaser (I’m assuming). Behold, Jennifer Aniston The Foodie!!

Jennifer Aniston has gotten quite a taste of Connecticut. In town for the month, shooting her latest film on a Stamford set, the actress, 44, has managed to please her palate by visiting a number of popular local restaurants.

On Feb. 2, Aniston had an array of delectable items at eleven14 Kitchen, an American restaurant at J House Greenwich hotel. According to the restaurant, as an appetizer, the star enjoyed the organic green salad with pumpkin seeds and fennel pollen in red wine vinaigrette. For an entrée, she chose the grilled Amish chicken with pearl onions, fingerling potatoes and mushrooms. For dessert, she indulged in almond dacquoise and chocolate mousse topped with gold leaf.

Sipping on gin and tonic, Aniston dressed casually in black jeans and a black and white print button-down shirt.

Valentine’s Day was ever so sweet for the starlet, whose fiancé, Justin Theroux, provided her preferred meal from one of her favorite eateries in the area, Greenwich’s Terra Ristorante Italiano. Aniston’s order consisted of a tre coloré salad (baby salad, arugula, radicchio, shaved Parmesan and balsamic-lemon vinaigrette) and Parmesan-crusted filet of sole.

“The kitchen was closed, and we made it special for them,” the restaurant’s assistant manager Jean Maxine De Givenchy told PEOPLE.

Then a few days later, on Feb. 17, Aniston and Theroux, 41, headed back to New York and finally found some time to relax. In Greenwich Village, the couple and three pals dined at Il Cantinori, where they seemed “very happy, very casual, [and] relaxed [with] lots of laughing,” according to Tayma Gandur, who dined two tables away from the group.

“[It was a] calm, chatty night out with friends,” Gandur says, adding that Aniston seemed very happy and content. There was no PDA, but the engaged pair snuggled and sipped on white wine.

Also during her time in town, Aniston popped into L’Escale, the restaurant attached to the Delamar Greenwich Harbor hotel.

“She was having a cocktail,” De Givenchy, who happened to run into Aniston at the spot, says. “I was surprised because she drank vodka on the rocks with a squeeze of fresh lemon [when she dined at Terra Ristorante Italiano]. At L’Escale, too, she was drinking the same thing. She was very happy, and she had some friends with her [and some people from the movie]. I [heard] her saying, ‘Drink up girl, have fun!’”

[From People]

The common themes of Jennifer’s diet are alcohol and salads, but trust me, she has branched out from the days where she would eat the same Cobb salad for lunch every single day. Now she mixes it up with house salads and fish and (gasp!) potatoes. As for alcohol… we’ve got gin and tonics, Vodka on the rocks with a lemon twist, and lots of white wine. THAT is why she works out so much – because so many of the calories she consumes are empty liquor calories.

Bradley Cooper covers the April issue of GQ magazine to promote his role in The Place Beyond The Pines. On this cover, he looks slightly less serial killer-esque than usual, but there’s no masquerading those piercing blue eyes that can see into your soul and dismantle it at the very same time. Speaking of soul-crushing entities, Bradley shows himself to be surprisingly revealing in this interview — moreso than I’ve ever witnessed in any of his interviews. He discusses many topics including his fellow actors, his sober status, and his feelings about his father’s death (from cancer two years ago). On that last topic, he talks a lot, and it’s very sad.

Oh, and Bradley’s also using this interview to try and convince us that he never wanted to win that stinking Oscar in the first place. Kaiser is calling bullsh-t on that one, and I agree that Bradley probably wanted that Oscar very badly, which is probably why he chose to play a lead character in an Oscar-bait, Weinstein Co. film in the first place. However, I can say that Bradley probably knew with all certainty that it truly was an honor for him to be nominated because he had no chance in hell of winning against Daniel Day Lewis, et al. Oh, and I’m issuing a SPOILER ALERT for the third excerpt below, in which Bradley reveals a bit too much about his TPBTB character’s actions, but he does appear to have a bit of a mancrush on Ryan Gosling. Here are some excerpts:

On actors & egos: “[L]et me tell you about actors. Back then, I had a couple of high-profile actor friends who were pretty successful and they were saying, ‘Why are you doing that movie called The Hangover? I read the script and I passed.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, OK. Well, I’m doing it.’ Something I’ve learned: other successful actors love telling one another they’ve passed on a script. And then it turns out the script was sent to them but wasn’t offered to them. Actors are a crazy breed. I feel honoured to be a part of this profession, but I also feel a lot of gratitude that I am not a typical actor. Not at all.”

Why he quit alcohol: “I had my reasons and I don’t like getting into it too much. I’m not going to say I’ll never drink ever again. I mean, who knows what will happen in the future? I just consider… What I will say is that my life was going in one direction and that terrified me. It scared the sh-t out of me. I knew I had to make some changes if I ever wanted to fulfill whatever potential I had as a human being. I felt a huge sense of responsibility to my parents, especially to my father. When I took out a loan to go to grad school to act I could see that deep down he was f—ing terrified.”

On The Place Beyond The Pines: “Who would ever want to be in a movie where you’re the guy that kills Ryan Gosling? Ryan Gosling looks sexy as hell in this movie, too. He’s all muscled out, tattooed up; a super-cool outlaw bank robber who gets to hold a baby for most of the movie. And me — my character, this cop who lies and rats on his buddies — is supposed to turn up 45 minutes into the movie and kill Ryan Gosling? I love Ryan.”

On his father’s death: “Death became very real. And very tangible. Because my father — someone who had been in my life for 36 years is just f—ing gone. I watched him dying and I was there by his bed watching him, breathing with him, and then I saw his last breath and he was gone. I experienced the whole thing. And that was a watershed moment that I was privileged to experience. And it changed everything.”

On how he’s changed since then: “Nothing has ever been the same since. You know William Blake’s Songs Of Innocence? Well, right there, in that moment, the innocence was gone. Done. Never to return. The beauty is that I just don’t sweat sh-t any more. My father gave me two gifts — having me and dying with me. I used to be the kid that got the shakes if I had to talk in public; now, I just don’t get nervous about stuff. I can’t control everything. I watched my father die and I realised that is the way we are all going to die. For me, it was a switch from knowing something intellectually to knowing it by tangibly experiencing it. It rewired my neurological system. It almost did the opposite of motivating me. It was about keeping the main thing the main thing.”

He doesn’t want to win an Oscar: “It would change nothing. Nothing. The things in my life that aren’t fulfilled would not be fulfilled. Career-wise, right now, it’s better that I don’t win one. I don’t want to win. I don’t.”

[From GQ]

Aww, poor Bradley. He’s been hit really hard by his father’s passing, and by all accounts, he’s been taking care of his mom (even asking her to move in with him) quite well in the aftermath. I know he looks like a serial killer, but he does seem like a really nice guy. A really nice guy who still wants an Oscar.

A quiet night with a Swedish Viking and some Mexican beer. Sounds nice, right? These are some new photos of Alexander Skarsgard coming out of an LA grocery store (Whole Foods? Dunno.) with some Mexican beer and a cloth bag full of groceries. Because I love you, I examined the beer – it’s “Cerveza Pacifico Clara: Imported Beer from Mazatlan, Mexico”. Never had it! But I would try it if a Viking offered it to me.

I’m assuming Alex was shopping for his (or someone else’s) Super Bowl party, right? Considering it’s not a keg, I’m guessing it’s not for his own party, but he’s going to someone else’s Super Bowl party and he wants to be a good guest so he picked up some beer and maybe some chips and dip or something. I see a plastic produce bag – maybe avocados? Maybe he’s making his own guacamole? I would love it if Alex had his own recipe for guac.

In other Skarsgard news, he was recently in Sundance to promote his latest film, The East, a drama/thriller/dystopia film. He plays the leader of an eco-terrorist/environmentalist group called The East. Apparently, the Sundance screenings were very emotional and people did like the film.

Also: ARMS. VIKING ARMS.

Here are some photos of Daniel Radcliffe at the Whistler film festival (where he was celebrated for his talent) in Whistler, Canada on 11/30. He looks alarmingly good in those skinny jeans, right? I’ve never really been attracted to the guy (or skinny jeans in general unless they’re on Russell Brand’s legs), but Daniel and skinny jeans make a great combination here. He also looks relatively healthy and clean as well.

Behind the scenes, however, Daniel may not be as healthy as he appears according to a new story from this week’s Enquirer, which alleges that he’s boozing hard and got himself thrown out of a NYC nightclub as a result. Earlier this year, Daniel admitted to filming portions of the Harry Potter movies while still drunk from the night before. At the time, he hadn’t had a drink of alcohol since August 2010. So is he off the wagon, and does Daniel actually need rehab? Here’s the story:

Daniel Radcliffe has fallen off the wagon — and now friends are urging him to head to rehab before it’s too late! The former hard-partying British hunk had two hard-earned years of sobriety until he began hitting the bottle about a month ago, culminating in a drunken argument with a DJ at a New York City club, say sources.

“In my opinion, Danie’s back where he started,” a concerned pal told the Enquirer, “When he drinks, he gets carried away, and that’s exactly what happened to him in New York.”

According to the source, Daniel was “knocking back Jagerbombs” — shots of the liquor Jagermeister dropped in a glass of Red Bull energy drink — before the dustup that got him kicked out of the club.

“It didn’t take too long for a buzzed Daniel to start dancing around and becoming the life of the party,” the source said. “He’s not a mean drunk, but even happy drunks step over the line — and that’s what he seemed to do.

“Daniel was whooping and hollering and bullied the DJ into playing a Dusty Springfield song. When the DJ told him to chill, Daniel gave him a hard time, and that’s when the management threw him out.”

Daniel, 23, who shot to fame playing boy wizard Harry Potter in the popular film franchise, admitted he had a drinking problem and gave up booze in 2010. “He knows he shouldn’t drink, so this incident was an eye-opening relapse,” said the source. “Daniel is very embarrassed and even considered going back tot he club to apologize.”

While Daniel has vowed not to drink over the holidays, his close friends are urging him to take even more drastic measures. Said the source: “They want him to get into an established booze rehab — and cut out drinking for good.”

[From Enquirer, print edition, December 31, 2012]

Even if this NYC nightclub account is true, it doesn’t really sound like a really bad situation to me. In fact, Daniel would have gotten kicked out of a nightclub for a far lesser offense than Rihanna’s recent escapade where she didn’t get kicked out at all, but that was because she shouted, “Don’t you know who I am?” and then continued to dance on tables unabated. By the way, I’ve never understood why anyone, drunk or sober, would ever dance on a table. That’s just weird to me.

At any rate, it sounds like Daniel realizes he was a bit of a brat about a Dusty Springfield tune, and maybe this will make him sober up for another lengthy spell. He probably doesn’t need rehab — but he does need better taste in music.

Here are some photos of Amanda Seyfried looking gorgeous in front of the Ed Sullivan theater ahead of her appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” This was actually a pretty atypical television interview for Amanda because she pretty much let loose from the very beginning and confessed to Letterman that she was completely drunk. Yeah, I’m sure the Les Miserables producers loved hearing that, but it’s better than the alternative, which is the socially awkward Amanda that comes out during most print interviews.

Also (and even though Amanda tells Dave that she has a habit of drinking before talk shows), I’m pretty sure that Amanda hadn’t had anything to drink during this terribly stilted Craig Ferguson interview from 2010 (when she was promoting Letters to Juliet). Back then, the pressure wasn’t on because Amanda was riding high on her Mamma Mia! success and promoting a romantic comedy that was sure to (and did) succeed. Now, Amanda has had more than a few underwhelming rounds of box-office returns (Red Riding Hood, In Time, and Gone), and the pressure is on. Could this have pushed her to the bottle, or is she just messing with us? Here’s the details from Us Weekly:

Amanda Seyfried really loosens up after a few drinks!

The actress appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman Dec. 11 to promote her new movie, Les Miserables. During her interview, however, the 27-year-old admitted to being a bit tipsy.

“I’m pretty drunk. To be honest with you Dave, I’ve had about three,” she deadpanned. “I’m a big fan of whiskey. I had some Midleton. [My costar] Russell Crowe gave me some Midleton for my birthday and I had some of that before I got here. And then your lovely colleagues had some Jameson waiting for me [backstage].”

She added, “I have to go on record saying I’ve never done a live television show — after noon — without some kind of liquid courage.”

While Seyfried recognized that she might “have a problem, maybe,” the starlet has no intention of staying sober for TV interviews. “You know what? It really gets me through, and I really wanna enjoy my experience out here because it’s special.”

When the TV host jokingly asked Seyfried is she’ll ever end up in rehab, she giggled and replied, “No!”

According to Seyfried — whose ex-boyfriends include Dominic Cooper, Ryan Phillippe, Alexander Skarsgard and Josh Hartnett — she’s been on a bit of a bender. “I don’t drink often. I swear, I don’t! I’ve been with the [Les Miserables] cast a lot. . . and it’s really fun because we all really like each other. None of us really drink.”

Before the interview ended, Letterman toasted the star with another glass of Jameson — her fourth — before signing off.

[From Us Weekly]

I like that she’s admitting to “liquid courage” in the form of whisky, which is probably better than I would have done … a few margaritas. Does she really seem “lit” though, or is she just faking it? I can’t tell. Here’s a video clip of Amanda’s “Late Show” appearance. If she’s truly drunk, then she maintains pretty damn well.

Here are some photos of Shia LaBeouf out for a walk (for whatever reason) on Pacific Coast Highway in September. Isn’t that a good way to get run over by a non-braking Lindsay Lohan? Well, Shia is doing his best to become a hot mess on his very own because he just got into a random bar fight in London. This isn’t the first time he’s flown into someone else’s fists (and vice versa), but it’s been nearly two years since he’s let his temper get the best of him. Shia is obviously — what with all of the gross, literal sex he’s having while filming Lars von Trier’s N-mphomaniac — under so much pressure that he couldn’t help himself when some dude pulled the hat (the one in these pictures) off his head. I mean, it’s a hat. Who does Shia think he is, Raylan Givens? I wonder if Bob Redford will pat him on the back after this silly fight:

Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf got into a scrap — while drinking in a student pub in a scruffy South London suburb.

Regulars at the Hobgoblin in New Cross were stunned when the Transformers actor walked in with Mia Goth, his co-star in new film N-mphomaniac.

Shia, 26, spent several hours drinking and happily posing for photos with fans. But the mood turned sour when a student prankster pinched the star’s baseball cap – a souvenir from Laos in Asia – and refused to give it back.

A scuffle broke out and drinkers had to separate the pair before Shia left in a taxi. Police were not called.

One witness said: “No one could believe that a well-known Hollywood star had rocked up at a bar in dingy SE14. Everyone was getting their photos taken with him.

“The scrap all started when this guy took his hat. I think he was just joking, but Shia didn’t like it.

“The guy just took it off him and wouldn’t give it back. He tried to get it back and they ended up tussling. It was handbags really. But it shows that even Hollywood stars can’t avoid grief down this way.”

Landlord Mark Harris confirmed Shia was in the pub with model and actress Mia, 19. Mark said: “Her mum lives just down the road. She came down to see her mum and he tagged along. He did get a bit frustrated and there was a bit of a scuffle.”

[From The Sun]

Radar Online adds to the story with a faux-poor Shia stance about how Shia thinks everyone starts crap with him just because he’s famous. According to one of Shia’s (nameless) pals (are there any other who grant “exclusives”?), Shia thinks that this dude who stole his baseball cap was just trying to egg him on, and “it’s not [Shia's] fault” that “he lost his temper,” right? Further, “Shia believes he is picked on by people simply because of his fame. He feels he gets victimized for who he is and says that people often try to start a fight with him just for fun. He only wants to have a little downtime after a hard day of filming and wants to be treated with a little bit of respect.” Yeah, okay. Shia’s had a hard day of work with all of that actual sex going on at the set. You’d think instead of placing himself in a situation where he’s very likely to punch someone for a variety of reasons that, you know, he’d just roll over and go to sleep after the “O-face.”

Johnny Depp is 49 years old, and he’s definitely starting to look his age. While it’s true that we all get older and lose our (presumably good) looks at a certain age, it certainly seems like a sudden deterioration for Johnny in recent days. Of course, I’ve been secretly theorizing that Johnny’s been on the downswing for the better part of the past decade, and nobody has noticed the issue onscreen because he’s been wearing wacky costumes in his movies for so long. Then Johnny was actually required to wear normal dude clothing for The Tourist, and he looked like crap. Obviously, it’s hard to tell what anyone looks like underneath that Jack Sparrow costume with its eyeliner, dreads, and pirate teeth, and Johnny’s been using that fact to his advantage.

I also remain convinced that if Johnny gave himself a good scrubbing (he looks so grubby in his civilian gear) and lost those bloody scarves, he’d probably instantly lose a few years in appearance. Johnny, however, allegedly believes that if he stops boozing so much, he’ll retain his youthful glow. That also makes sense, but since he’s been a hard boozer for decades, is it too late to undo the damage? Here’s the story from this week’s Star:

He boasts his very own vineyard in France and a world-class wine cellar, but Johnny Depp is giving up his drink of choice and going on the wagon in hopes of preserving his famous good looks. “Johnny’s tried to quit drinking before, but this time he is really serious,” his friend tells Star. “He even gave a pal six of his most expensive bottles!”

Johnny so loves drinking that he sports a “Wino Forever” tattoo on his arm to cover up his “Winona Forever” ink — but he is now changing his priorities. “Booze is really drying and aging to the skin — Johnny’s lucky to have good genes, but he knows his looks are his meal ticket.”

[From Star, print edition, October 22, 2012]

No more “Wino Forever”? What an end to an era. As for Johnny’s fear that he’ll lose his “meal ticket” if his looks go … well, look at what happened to Marlon Brando, and people still hired him. Maybe Marlon didn’t get the really high-paying gigs towards the end of his life, but he certainly wasn’t going hungry. In any case, Johnny should take a good look at Keith Richards, for this is his future.

Lana del Rey and her entirely manufactured self (including those lips) appears on the cover of GQ UK’s October issue. Lana was named the “Woman of the Year” at last week’s “Men of the Year” event, so she’s naked in the photoshoot, which makes sense I guess. Sure’s, she’s got a nice body, but it still remains a mystery why Lana gets so much attention when it’s clear that she’s merely the latest pop flavor of months that have already past. Here are some excerpts from Lana’s speech at the GQ event, where she discussed boob groping for a good cause and her troubles with alcohol:

She landed the title of GQ’s Woman of the Year at an awards ceremony last week so who could blame Lana Del Rey for oozing confidence. And it is clear that the 26-year-old singer is comfortable in her own skin stripping off to appear nude on the cover of next month’s magazine.

The Video Games singer is seen sat on the floor completely naked with her legs crossed and only her long fiery locks to conceal her modesty. Wearing nothing but bright red lipstick Lana is seen tilting her head in a seductive fashion towards the camera.

In another shot she is seen dressed in a white basque smelling a rose while in another a man is cupping her breast. At the GQ party last week Lana revealed exactly who the hand belonged to. Introduced by Boy George, who kindly compared her sultry persona to that of Marilyn Monroe, she took the stage and thanked editors for bestowing her with the title.

Shifting on stage, she hummed, her words hanging with monotone expression: “We had a beautiful shoot in Monaco and I had a really interesting interview – for a change – and I was reminded of why I love to sing and why I wanted to become a writer. And also,” she continued, “Paul, the creative director, was very hands on with the shoot.”

As laughter rumbled through the audience, Del Rey made reference presumably to the British magazine’s creative director, Paul Solomons. “In fact, if you see in the magazine – in the middle of the spread – you’ll see a hand hoisting up one of my boobs,” she added. “That’s Paul’s hand. Couldn’t have done it without him.”

Speaking to the magazine Lana speaks out about what it is like living in the spotlight and says: “My life is just f&@&ing different. I never wanted to lead a normal life. I was always a secret thrill-seeker.”

The flame-haired singer also talked about her battle with drinking. She said: “Alcohol was the first love of my life. I have a dark side but the dark side was winning every time.”

Lana has recently revealed she is quitting the recording studio to write Hollywood scripts and she even enjoyed dinner with British actress Carey Mulligan, 27, in LA last month.

[From Daily Mail]

Wait, they totally buried the lead there. Lana is quitting music to become a screenwriter! This is huge news if only because it means that we won’t have to listen to her “music” anymore. Otherwise, I don’t care too much about what she says. Everything about this girl sounds fake, and even her statements on alcohol (she claims to have been a hard drinker at age 14) sound like she’s embellishing them to sound edgy. Is that insensitive of me to say? I do fully sympathize with those who have a problem with alcohol and have lived through the hell of getting back onboard with life, but I just don’t buy much when it comes to Lana del Rey.

Here are a few photos of Lana wearing a white Wayne Cooper dress at last week’s GQ Awards event. Kaiser’s correct — it does look like a wedding dress.
