Gwyneth Paltrow posed for two covers, one for newsstands and one for subscribers, of May's Harper's Bazaar, which is out on April 23. In the magazine, she gets candid about her 10-year marriage to Chris Martin as well as the surprising lesson she's learned from close friend Jay-Z. Gwyneth, who is currently busy promoting her new cookbook, It's All Good, also reveals that she is trying to find a balance between her healthy lifestyle and the real temptations in everyday life. Read on for more from Gwyneth Paltrow in Harper's Bazaar.

  • On plastic surgery: "I use organic products, but I get lasers. It's what makes life interesting, finding the balance between cigarettes and tofu. I would be scared to go under the knife, but you know, talk to me when I'm 50. I'll try anything. Except I won't do Botox again, because I looked crazy."
  • On her friendship with Jay-Z: "I don't hold on to fear as much as I used to, because I've learned a lot about genuinely not caring what strangers think about me. It's very liberating. It's very empowering, and I've learned a lot of that from Jay-Z, because his approach to life is very internal. It's a very good lesson to learn."
  • On her marriage to Chris Martin: "We are growing into very similar people. It's cool, it's good. It's not always easy, though!"

Carine Roitfeld Casts Models, Baby Wildlife in Pre-Fall Story For Harper's Bazaar

Would the Pre-Fall 2013 collections make sense on safari?

Would the Pre-Fall 2013 collections make sense on safari? That seems to be the question Carine Roitfeld wanted to answer in her latest fashion story for Harper's Bazaar, "The Animal Nursery."

Roitfeld tasked Sebastian Faena with photographing the 16-page story, which features models like Kate Upton, Irina Shayk, and Tilda Lindstam and a variety of young animals including a disarmingly adorable ambush of baby tigers.

The story will run in all 26 international editions of Harper's Bazaar, but you can take a look at a few of the images in advance here in the gallery.

Selena Gomez Tells Harper's Bazaar That She Still "Believes in Love"

Selena Gomez gets glamorous on the cover of Harper's Bazaar's April issue, which was photographed by Terry Richardson.

Selena Gomez gets glamorous on the cover of Harper's Bazaar's April issue, which was photographed by Terry Richardson. Inside the magazine, she opens up about her new single life and reveals that she isn't that into going out and trying to meet people. However, Selena does admit that she believes in the power of love, just like her friend Katy Perry. Surprisingly, she adds that she doesn't like to get dressed up outside of red-carpet events and that she "doesn't give a damn" what she looks like. Read on for more from Selena Gomez in Harper's Bazaar.

  • On her casual off-duty style: "I do not give a damn what I look like, I don't. I wish I could pay attention because Gwen Stefani, say, looks flawless. Of course, when I'm on red carpets, I'm nervous, sweaty, and weird."
  • On dating: "[I don't get] asked out a lot. And when I actually look presentable, I'm at an awards show. It's not like I've wanted to go out and look for someone. I'm not really good at that."
  • On believing in love: "I believe in love—yes, I'm one of those girls. Most of my friends believe in love. I went out with Katy Perry last night. She's so fun and  awesome, but it's cool to see someone older believe in love too. She is all about it, and that's how I will always be. I believe in stories like, 'Oh, I met him in Starbucks.'"

Drew Barrymore Hid For a "Solid Six Weeks" After Her Daughter's Birth

Drew Barrymore displays her new-mother glow on the cover of Harper's Bazaar's March issue, which hits newsstands on Feb. 12. Inside the publication, Drew talked about her new makeup line, Flower. She also touched on more personal topics, including how she is trying to find a balance between her public life and the private life she wants for her newborn daughter, Olive. Here are highlights from Drew Barrymore in Harper's Bazaar:

  • On keeping her daughter's birth under wraps: "I definitely needed some time. For a solid six weeks, I was hiding like the Unabomber.  Because I live my life in the public eye, I didn't want that for her. [However], unless I move into a bunker underground, I don't have a choice in this matter. It was something that took me weeks to cope with."
  • On her CoverGirl LashBlast commercials: "I didn't want a cold campaign with severe messaging. I wanted warmth and acceptance and self-love. Nobody's in gold rain or running through a jungle with their lipstick on. It was just me and some great music on a white background. That's every girl, in her closet getting ready."
  • On her favorite things: "I live for makeup and I like wine. These are my truths!"

Jennifer Lopez strikes a fierce pose on one of her two covers for Harper's Bazaar's February 2013 issue, which will hit newsstands Jan. 8. Jennifer, a busy mom of 4-year-old twins Max and Emme Anthony, wrapped a whirlwind 2012 that saw her travel the world on her Dance Again tour. Despite her recent focus on music, Jen will be back on the big screen in her latest movie, Parker, on Jan. 25. Inside the publication, J Lo spoke candidly about her lifestyle, multifaceted career, and even disclosed where her notoriously revealing Versace gown from the 2000 Grammy Awards resides today. Here is more from Jennifer in Harper's Bazaar:

  • On her career: "I'm a singer. I'm a dancer. I'm a performer. I'm an actress. That's what I'm supposed to be doing. It makes me a better parent, a better person."
  • On her beautiful life: "I like the whole idea of traveling, of looking good, and doing it well. I make it as simple and as beautiful as I can because my life is kind of big. So I pack my luggage, or dress myself, or comb my kids' hair, pick up their clothes — that makes our life beautiful, you know? There's something very elegant in that."
  • On her famous Versace Grammy Awards gown: "I have that at home. The other day, my housekeeper put it on a mannequin in my spa, where I get my hair and makeup done. She sent me a picture. She was like, 'You like this dress?' Um, yeah, but I don't know if I like it out in the house!"

  • Joanna Coles Has Fired Nine Cosmo Staffers; Kate Lanphear Is Definitely Leaving Elle

    Joanna Coles told us she was "not going to muddle" with Cosmopolitan when she took over as editor in chief in September, but she clearly wasn't referring to staff changes.



    Joanna Coles told us she was "not going to muddle" with Cosmopolitan when she took over as editor in chief in September, but she clearly wasn't referring to staff changes.

    Coles has reportedly sacked nine members of the magazine's team, including seven on the editorial side and two from the photo department. And while she's hired British GQ's Paul Solomons as creative director and Marie Claire's Joyce Chang as executive editor, a litany of other positions have yet to be filled.

    The departures leave Jessica Knoll as the magazine's only current senior editor. When the two first met at a staff meeting in September, Coles joked, "Kate [White] told me you're a rock star. But Kate's gone, so it doesn't matter now."

    Over the last several months, the desks at New York's glossy fashion titles have operated more like a game of musical chairs than anything else. The latest departure in a round of shuffling that started in August sees Elle's style director Kate Lanphear leaving her position. It's unclear where she's headed next.

    The revolving doors started spinning when Sally Singer was ousted as editor in chief of T Magazine at the end of August. She's now back at Vogue as the digital creative director and was replaced by former WSJ. Magazine editor Deborah Needleman in late September. Needleman took WSJ.'s creative director Patrick Li and fashion features director Whitney Vargas with her when she made the jump.

    This week it was announced that stylist Joe McKenna would join T Magazine as fashion director at large. W's Maura Egan has joined T as features editor. Meanwhile, Alix Browne, T's deputy design editor, will head to W Magazine as features director.

    Back at The Wall Street Journal, Needleman's deputy editor Ruth Altchek was named editorial director of the paper's weekend Off Duty section and WSJ. in mid-October. Harper's Bazaar executive editor Kristina O'Neill was brought in as editor of the magazine. Two senior members of Bazaar's accessories team, Kate Davidson Hudson and Stefania Allen, left shortly after O'Neill, but not to join her at WSJ. Bazaar's features director Anamaria Wilson also left in October for a position as vice president of global corporate communications at Michael Kors.

    Bazaar held onto and promoted three key staffers: longtime senior fashion market editor Joanna Hillman was promoted to style director, Nicole Fritton was named fashion market and accessories director, and Elisa Lipsky-Karasz became the magazine's features editor.

    Brides executive editor Anne Fulenwider replaced Coles as editor in chief of Marie Claire. Her first big staff changes have been to promote Nina Garcia from fashion director to creative director and to hire Alex Gonzalez as artistic director. Fulenwider was herself replaced by Keija Minor, becoming the first black editor in chief of a Condé Nast title.

    Speaking of Condé Nast employees, Eva Chen left her position as beauty and health director at Teen Vogue and was replaced by Glamour's senior beauty editor Elaine Welteroth.

    Carine Roitfeld: "No Boss" at Harper's Bazaar

    In her new role as global fashion director at Harper's Bazaar, Carine Roitfeld says she won't be working for the American edition's editor in chief, Glenda Bailey.



    In her new role as global fashion director at Harper's Bazaar, Carine Roitfeld says she won't be working for the American edition's editor in chief, Glenda Bailey.

    "I'm always independent," Roitfeld said in an interview after a talk about her life and work at New York's French Institute this week. "No boss."

    She added that while Bailey is "a very important part of Bazaar," she'll work primarily with Hearst Magazines International president and CEO Duncan Edwards. (Last month when the magazine announced it had hired Roitfeld, it said she would collaborate with the American edition's creative director, Stephen Gan.) Roitfeld will create four stories a year that will appear across Bazaar's international editions. On stage, Roitfeld said, "Suddenly, I've passed from like 50,000 readers [at Vogue Paris] to 11 million readers."

    "When you're talking to a wider scale of readers, you think a bit differently," she told WWD. "You will recognize me in the pictures. My way, my castings, the way I put clothes together, it's very me."

    During the talk, Roitfeld said her new position is a first in the world of fashion magazines.

    "I think it's very interesting because of the globalization in fashion," she said. "Everyone in Shanghai and Berlin can buy the same dress. And now, because of this possibility with Bazaar, the woman in Shanghai and the woman in Berlin and New York, they can read and see exactly the same story. . . . Imagine how exciting it is to be able to talk to all these women, to give them the same knowledge, in a way."
