Kristen Stewart looks hot on the cover of June 2012's Elle. She posed for pictures with photographer Tom Munro — check out a preview of Kristen Stewart's interview in Elle. She spoke with the magazine about her impulse to act and why she gravitates toward serious characters. Kristen also spoke about her boyfriend and Twilight leading man, Robert Pattinson, playing coy about a special ring he supposedly gave her. Here are highlights from Kristen Stewart in Elle:

• On a ring she wears that's supposedly from Robert: "Everyone wants to know. Everyone knows already — it's ridiculous."
• On seeing herself on screen: "Laurence Olivier was asked, 'Actors, what's the impulse? Why?' And he was just like, 'Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me . . .' That was his answer. But at the same time it's like, 'Nooo, don’t look at me. Look at some version that I'm going to present to you. Let me control it.'"
• On playing intense characters: "It's one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy."

Jessica Simpson's nude on the cover of Elle magazine's April issue! The host of Fashion Star is soon to be a mother and previously confirmed that her bundle of joy will arrive this Spring.

Jessica revealed to the magazine that she is in fact welcoming a girl with fiancé Eric Johnson. Jessica Simpson's daughter won't have a traditional name, though. She told the fashion magazine that she and Eric are set on a name already. "We're sure . . . It's nothing shocking and nothing you'll have to add to the dictionary. Still, when people hear it, they'll know . . . why." Do you have any guesses as to what Jessica's baby will be named?

Blake Lively strikes a few poses for the new March issue of Elle. The star of Gossip Girl wore some high fashion for a couple of pictures, including a Victoria Beckham dress on the cover, but in other images wasn't wearing much at all. The magazine also rounded up Blake Lively's best hairstyles. In the accompanying interview, Blake spoke about her dreams for a family — including having "trannies" if not daughters — and her friendship with Christian Louboutin. Blake also touched on the men in her life, revealing that she's never slept with anyone who wasn't an official boyfriend. Here are highlights from Blake Lively in Elle:

• On her dating past: "I've had four boyfriends in my whole life. I've never been with anyone that's not a boyfriend. If I spend time with a man, it's because there's somebody that I know well who has been a friend for a while."
• On her dreams for a family: "I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be trannies. Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated."
• On getting Louboutin shoe advice: "When I'm going to an event, I'll send Christian (Louboutin) a picture of my outfit and say, 'What shoes do you think I should wear with this?'"

>> The 2011 results are in: Sarah Jessica Parker, Heidi Klum, and Jennifer Aniston regularly and reliably pulled in the top sales at the newsstand, and Mila Kunis was the year's breakout cover star with some of the best-selling issues across titles.

Jessica Biel wore a Donna Karan New York dress for the cover of Elle's December 2011 issue and inside spoke about her aspirations and career. One topic that the actress wouldn't touch on, though, was her on-again relationship with Justin Timberlake. Jessica has been busy shooting both Total Recall in Vancouver and New Year's Eve in NYC recently. Nonetheless, she's had plenty of time to hang out with JT in places like LA and Las Vegas, as well as a few hours for a chat with the magazine. Jessica said:

• On her status with Justin Timberlake: "A girl doesn't kiss and tell."
• On a role that got away: "The Notebook. That's one that I wanted so badly. I was in the middle of shooting Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and I auditioned with Ryan Gosling in my trailer — covered in blood. [Director] Nick Cassavetes put me through the wringer in an interesting, excitingly creative way. But there's a million that get away. We're gluttons for punishment. It's just rejection."
• On whether she would consider leaving show business: "Absolutely. I'd love to write. I wrote a lot of short stories and poetry when I was a kid. That was my creative outlet. I've written a short film, and I write poetry."

The ladies talk about what it's like working in Hollywood in addition to pinpointing the moment they all decided to become actresses. Here's more:

• Jennifer on baby rumors: "But it's not what you read. There's no desperation. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. I'm at peace with whatever the plan is. But will you hate me if I say I don't want to talk about my relationship?"
• Jennifer on the first time she stood up to a male director: "I threw a chair at a director. It wasn't my proudest moment. He was treating a script supervisor horribly . . . When the director walked in, I threw a chair at him. I missed, of course. I was like, 'You can't speak to people like that.' I can't tolerate it."
• Naomi on her breakthrough role in Mulholland Drive: "It was a game-changer, but I knew I had to be careful. You can get a lot of attention and still be gone in a flash."
• Naomi on becoming an actress: "One of the things was seeing the movie Fame, as cheesy as that sounds. I was like, That looks fun! It wasn't that I wanted to be famous. I just wanted to go to acting class."
• Elizabeth on taking a year off school to make her film debut: "They're all indies, so the shoots were relatively short — it was great because every single film was a genre, and the directors were so completely different. It helped me figure out what worked for me and how I would adapt. It was difficult at times — like a great year of conservatory training. It was that intense."
• Elizabeth on her desire to act: "Watching old Frank Sinatra musicals when I was, like, 6. I wanted to be one of the love interests when I got older."
