Mrs. Eastwood & Company Daughters: ‘Our Boyfriends Are Scared Of Our Dad!'

EASTWOOD.jpg
Introducing a new guy to the man of the house can be super stressful for any teen girl, but it’s a whole new level of horror when your dad is Dirty Harry himself, Clint Eastwood.

The stars of E!’s new reality show, Mrs. Eastwood & Company, Francesca, 19, and Morgan, 15, open up in the new issue In Touch — on newsstands now — about what it’s like having the larger-than-life icon, 82, as their father.

“My guy friends have seen his movies and they’re all scared!” Morgan tells In Touch, adding that her outspoken mother, Dina, is even more frightening to her pals.

“My dad’s not like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna get my gun!’ It’s actually my mom who’s more protective.” Francesca, who dates photographer Tyler Shields, insists their father is more teddy bear than tough guy.

“My dad’s intimidating at first, but now he’s really nice to my boyfriend,” she says. “They’re both guys’ guys, who talk about stuff like helicopters, planes and weapons.”

For more from the Eastwood family, pick up this week’s issue of In Touch and catch their show on E!, Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.

Kristen Stewart & Charlize Theron Interview Mag (PHOTOS)

I am so excited to see Snow White and the Huntsman – it looks epic and wicked! So I am super excited about Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart’s Interview magazine photo shoot and interviews. They seriously love each other and their acting skills. I think after seeing this move I will hopefully get over Charlize as Monster and Kristen as Bella. Amen!! Here is a bit from their interview. You can click and see the thumbnail pictures below. They are gorgeous. Kristen on working with men: “Maybe it’s because I had to start having very intimate conversations with adult men at a very young age in order to get the work, but I’m really comfortable with dudes. I mean, we push boundaries in this business in terms of getting to know people. There are things that directors know about me that people shouldn’t know.” Kristen on fame: “There is this debilitating isolation that [Snow White] feels because she has been locked away in a little cell for seven years. And I can kind of relate to that. There is something . . . it’s not the reason that I wanted to do the movie, but the fans and people who [...]

Adele: March 2012 cover girl of Vogue

Adele

Adele posed for an elegantly put together Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot spread while talking about everything from ridding of the booze to her highly publicized vocal cord surgery. Highlights from Adele's interview are as follows.
On her 'loud' personality: “I am quite loud and bolshie,” she says (British slang for unruly and clamorous). “I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.” Indeed. There is no doubt when Adele is in the building. The rule of thumb for protecting one’s vocal cords, she tells me, is: If people are more than an arm’s length away, you shouldn’t talk to them. “But I am like, Wah! Wah! Wah!,” she says, laughing. “It’s really bad.”
On giving up drinking last May: “Don’t like drinking anymore. I think I got it out of my system. D’yaknowhaImean?”
On her vocal troubles: “I’ve been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I’ve had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.” She flew to London the next morning to see her doctor and was diagnosed with acute laryngitis. After a couple weeks’ rest, she continued her European tour, came to America, and then her voice went again in May. “That was a hemorrhage... a burst blood vessel on my vocal cord. That healed, I did a tour, and then it happened again at my best friend’s wedding on October 1.”
On getting support through her surgery from other artists: “John Mayer had it done at the same time as I did and he really helped me be chilled out about it. Roger Daltrey’s had loads of stuff done; Steven Tyler reached out; Elton John. Lots of artists have had problems with their voices, but you don’t know about it. And they are still singing incredibly well in their 50s and 60s.”
On her six Grammy nominations: “I burst into tears when I found out. And I would love, absolutely love, to win. This record is coming to an end, and that would be the final brick on it.” [gallery=821]

Teresa Palmer Short Shorts Sexy in LA

Showing off her sexy stems, Teresa Palmer was spotted out and about in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (May 29).

The 26-year-old “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” cutie looked amazing in a white sports bra and short shorts as she carried a shopping bag and fumbled with her keys and wallet.

In career news, Teresa recently told press that when it came to scoring a gig in the forthcoming romantic horror “Warm Bodies,” she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“It’s so romantic. It’s set in this post-apocalyptic world and it’s about a zombie who feels trapped in this life. I knew I had to be a part of it. I fought so hard to get that role. I did so many auditions. I was so happy when I got the phone call to say I had got it.”
