Katie Henry — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:31:51 PDT

Ian Somerhalder strikes a seriously sexy pose inside the June issue of GQ. The Vampire Diaries star, in collaboration with Ketel One and GQ, is championing a new cause, "A Gentleman’s Call: In Pursuit of an Idea that Matters." He's one of the famous faces hand-picked as a mentor in the ultimate gentleman’s competition.

Ian's gentlemanly qualities are one of the many reasons he's a top contender to play the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey. Ian even admitted he'd like to play Christian Grey in the E.L. James best-selling novel, and even went as far as saying he's "good with younger women." Who will play Anastasia Steele is also up for debate, however, Lucy Hale and Alexis Bledel seem to be popular choices among fans of the trilogy.

Michael Fassbender's next movie Prometheus is on its way to theaters, and that means one thing - more Michael interviews! He's in the June issue of GQ, which hits newsstands on May 22, and struck a series of hot poses for photographer Mario Testino. Michael chatted about his Ridley Scott action movie, out on June 8, as well as his career. Michael opened up about being disappointed at missing out on an Oscar nomination for Shame, and even spoke about his costar in that film, and current girlfriend Nicole Beharie. Check out all the Michael pictures in GQ, and here are highlights from his interview:

On all the attention about his nether regions after Shame came out: “It’s fun to a point, and after a certain point you worry that it kind of detracts from the movie. But there’s nothing I can do. I just have to laugh it off. I can. Pretty much. Because I take my work seriously but I can’t take myself too seriously. I’m in such a crazy privileged position - shit, this is the pinnacle of the dream when I was 17. Nobody wants to hear really how difficult it is."
On being upset about not nabbing an Oscar nomination: "Ar the beginning people [say], ‘You’re going to be going to the Oscars,’ and you’re like, ‘Whatever, doesn’t matter, don’t think so.’ But after a while it does penetrate. After a while you’re like, ‘Anyway, so I’m going to the Oscars…’ And you start to believe it. And I did. I thought I was going. And then I found out I wasn’t and I was upset. I was very upset by it. The first reaction was ‘What the f-ck…?’ It’s a vanity thing. It does become important to you. And it shouldn’t."
On dating Nicole Beharie: "I’m seeing Nicole, we’re trying to see each other as often as possible. That’s kind of difficult when she lives [in New York] and I live in England . . . Nothing happened while we were filming. We started talking more on the promotion thing. So, yeah, it just sort of unfolded like that.”

Brooklyn Decker showed some skin for the latest edition of GQ, which features Chicago Bulls basketball player Derrick Rose on the cover.

Brooklyn also touched on another pop culture icon, Kristen Wiig, and her role in Bridesmaids. Here are highlights from Brooklyn Decker in GQ:

On identifying with Kristen Wiig's character in Bridesmaids: "I feel like her character is my inner soul. The ways she acts are my inner thoughts, but I just can't express them because they're too nerdy."
On her ultimate crush: "I have a top-five list, and Gisele is my number one. So she can do no wrong in my eyes. . . . Usually, it's guys on my list, but Gisele is just so perfect in every way."
On feeling shame for having a wee crush on Dave Matthews: "I know! I know, I know. My husband is really gonna make fun of me for this."

Jen on marriage: "It’s a growing, literally living thing. There’s going to be growing pains, there’s going to be awkward moments - your lanky phase, your pimpled phase. I think that’s the beauty of a relationship. But if the road starts to [Paul jumps in to say, "diverge"] and one person is growing this way and the other is growing that way . . .

Michelle Williams Shows Skin, Talks Heath in the New GQ

Allie Merriam — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:08:56 PST

Michelle Williams showed some skin in lingerie for the Feb. cover of GQ - see all the Michelle Williams in GQ pictures. The actress is fresh off a big win at Sunday's Golden Globes, where she won best actress in a comedy or musical for My Week With Marilyn. She toasted her new statue at The Weinstein Company's afterparty, but was spotted at LAX yesterday afternoon ready to take off for her next adventure. She opened up to the magazine recently about her experiences channeling Marilyn Monroe. Things also got more personal, as Michelle spoke about Heath Ledger, their first meeting, and more. She told GQ:

On why she and Heath were drawn together: "There's an answer that I know, but I don't want to say . . . Our initial meeting, the circumstances of how we first met, were cosmic or something . . . Yeah, a lot of things happened at once. It's a bit like: we had a lot of things to do because we didn't have a lot of time, or something."
On dealing with his death: "Moments that were strung like beads on a thread . . . and they were very far apart from each other. I mean, it sounds so silly, but a just-right cup of tea. I spent a lot of time taking baths. A lot of tea and baths - double warm."
On giving up the idea of giving Matilda a close sibling: "I really wanted, and I really expected or imagined, that Matilda would have siblings that were close to her age. I wanted that for her. But I couldn't make that happen. And now that she's six, that isn't even a possibility anymore. So something that was making me feel impatient, that's been removed. For whatever reason, that's not our luck, or our path."

Lauren Turner — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:02:02 PST

Matt Damon posed for a playful spread in GQ's January 2012 issue. The actor donned shrunken shirts and showed off his carnival game skills in the photos taken by Ben Watts, which accompany an interview conducted at the Central Park Zoo. The location is fitting as Matt is in the middle of promoting his latest project, We Bought a Zoo, with his most recent appearance on the red carpet at last night's NYC premiere. He said he plans to take a break with his family for the holidays, but in the men's magazine, Matt was all about business. Here's more from Matt Damon in GQ:

On working with George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the Ocean's movies: "Look, if you want to try and GQ it up with George and Brad, good luck! That's pretty rarefied air, and you're not going to bring more charm than those two, so you've got to find something else."
On President Obama's joke about him at the White House Correspondents' dinner: “I have to say, it was pretty funny. Whoever came up with it, it was a terrific joke.”
Director Steven Soderbergh on Matt: "Probably the least vain person in his position out there. He has no interest in protecting any sort of idea of himself as an actor."

Mila Kunis Shows Her Knockout Status by Wearing a Bikini For GQ

Allie Merriam — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:47:21 PST

Mila Kunis donned bikini bottoms for the December "Men of the Year" edition of GQ. Mila was the lone woman to earn a distinction in the issue, being crowned the "Knockout" of 2011. She posed for photographer Terry Richardson both in-studio and at a pool, where she took to a diving board in heels. She broke from shooting Oz: The Great and Powerful to speak with one of the magazine's reporters about moving to the US as a child from the Ukraine. After making the writer a cold remedy that involved boiling wine, vodka, and various vitamins, she also joked about how she doesn't take her work too seriously. Mila said:

On moving to the US from Ukraine in second grade: "My English was a little janky. I didn't have very many friends. And there was this place advertised on the radio as a place for kids to meet other kids - an acting class. My parents couldn't afford a babysitter. They said, 'Great, that takes up our Saturday.'"
On not taking herself too seriously: "I love what I do, but my theory is that it's people who doubt what they do and want to prove it to you, they're like 'It's art. I create art. It's art, art, art.' I'm like, Holy sh-t, are you f-cking kidding me? I run around and pretend I'm someone else for twelve hours; I record Family Guy. Then I get to go home and watch Jersey Shore."

Allie Merriam — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 08:07:13 PST

Jay-Z was crowned "The King" for 2011 in the GQ Men of the Year rankings. Joining Jay-Z on the magazine's list were "Breakout" Michael Fassbender and "Showmen" Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. A lone woman made it into the pages, with Mila Kunis landing the "Knockout" honor. Jay spoke with the publication about the prize and also touched on his work with perfectionist Kanye West on their Watch the Throne. Next year will be an even bigger year for Jay when he and wife Beyoncé Knowles welcome their first child together, and he spoke about their decision to go public with the news and how the little one will fit into their lux lifestyle. Jay-Z said:

Jay-Z on working with perfectionist Kanye West: "I think he just can’t help himself. He puts so much into everything, and he’s like, ‘You have to treat it like I treat it.’ It drives you crazy sometimes - like when you’ve put 75 versions of a snare on one song and he’s like, ‘No!’ and you’re like, ‘Come on, man.’"
On Beyoncé's deciding to announce her pregnancy at the VMAs: "It was actually Bey who wanted to [announce] it. You want to be in control of your life."
On putting a car seat in the Maybach: "Yeah. Wouldn’t that be great? That would be a great picture."
