TEN Gossip

Seeing Kristen Bell makes me miss Heroes. I loved her in that show. Maybe in my own little world I could create Heroes over again and get everyone back together. If only, right? She is on the February 2012 issue of Self magazine. Here are the highlights from the interview:

On her favorite exercise move: “Here’s the one that packs the most punch. I call it The Bowler: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, and bend slightly at the waist, holding a 5-pound weight in your right hand. Squat, then swing your right hand up and left, across your body, and sweep your right foot to the left behind you, as if you’re bowling. Do about eight on each side. It’s amazing for the butt cheeks!”

On how she splurges: “Salted chocolate drives me wild. I’m not a big spender, but I do like buying kitchen tools. I’ve ordered all the ways you can cut a strawberry and that ring to cook an egg in a heart shape.”

On her favorite way to relax: “I love to cook. I have a tiny Italian grandmother inside me. If someone walks in, I’m like, “Let me make you a sandwich!” We all have a giving-love language and a receiving-love language. I show love by cooking. When people have patience with me, I feel so loved. Dax is extremely patient with me.”

On being witty like her characters or being serious: ”No way. I’m not funny at all. I’m intensely serious. I mean, I’d like to think I’m funny, but I really can’t guarantee that anyone agrees.”

On which of her habits that she is most and least proud of: ’I'm proud of my patience. I’ve worked really hard to curb my natural impatience by realizing that everyone is doing the best they can. I’m least proud of my ability to be lazy and procrastinate by spending time on my computer or in front of the TV, watching America’s Funniest Home Videos, the greatest show on television. To anybody who pooh-poohs it, I say, ‘Just give it 30 minutes.’”

Cuteness Overload: Ian Somerhalder

Posted: 22 Jan 2012 09:44 PM PST

I’ll wait a moment for your collective sigh. I know I’m sighing myself. Put your hands up if you are jealous of that cat? My hand is up!! Ian Somerhalder really can make anything look cute can’t he? And if that is his cat the cat looks impressed. Does it not know who is holding him? Ian recently talked about his cats:

Human beings love things that are sexy but scary. [I feel sexiest] first thing in the morning, when I'm most relaxed. I have three animals in the bed, and there's fur everywhere in the sheets. It would be a little weird for me to say that I feel sexy with all my kitties. I would be 'that guy.'

Now I usually have my two cats in bed with me and the one sheds all over the place. Now I don’t feel so bad. Ian has the same problem!
