Anyone can go gaga

Lady Gaga has an outrageous fashion sense in Tinseltown but insists anyone can create her look. The hot pop star, who wears masks, hair bows and leotards on a daily basis, says her look is so wearable — all her fans should feel comfortable dressing like her. “When it comes to fashion, I always need to keep my fans in mind. Whether I am wearing something that is high fashion and was on a catwalk or a leather jacket I picked up at a vintage store, I need to create things and wear things that my fans can replicate in some way.”

Kylie yearns for a break

All work and no play make Kylie Minogue a dull girl, apparently. Everyone's favourite pint-sized pop star admits she has been working so hard recently that she hasn't gone out to enjoy herself for months, and it is getting her down. “I don't have a life at the moment. I am basically in the studio all the time. It's work, work, work. It'll all be worth it when my new album comes out — and I'm just getting to the exciting bit. But I really need to get out more.”

Benicio, a big softie

Benicio del Toro is seen as one of Hollywood's sexiest men, but one of his co-stars describes him as a big softie. Emily Blunt, who stars alongside Benicio in The Wolfman , says his sexy hard man persona is all an act and he is actually the opposite. “Benicio is awesome to work with. He's a lot of fun. He's a big teddy bear. People don't know that. He doesn't like people knowing that.”

Trust issue

Ever since she was double crossed by her friends on “The Hills”, Lauren Conrad admits she has huge trust issues. The blonde reality star says, “I have friends I don't trust. But that is just part of this industry,” says Lauren. “I have worked with people I don't trust, so I am used to being around people like that. Do I choose to spend my time with them? No. I hate that. But sometimes it is good to keep an eye on these people.”

Control freak

Pop hunk Justin Timberlake is always after perfection in his professional and private life, to the point of distraction. The Rock Your Body singer says he can't help keeping an eye on everything but he has always been that way. “I cannot let go, I'm a control freak,” he admits. “Sometimes it works to my advantage, at other times it's a disadvantage. I can't help it though, it is who I am. I am a control freak.”

Fit as a fiddle

Age is no barrier for John Travolta when it comes to doing his own stunts and it is all thanks to his dancing shoes. The Pulp Fiction action man, 56, says thanks to his background as a dancer in movies such as Saturday Night Fever and Grease , he still has the agility and stamina to be able to do his own stunts. “I definitely feel that being an athlete and being a dancer really helps me with my stunts, even now. It's because stunts are choreographed and you have timing. The more you are used to that kind of thing and moving your body in various ways, the more it helps. If it wasn't for that background I doubt I would be bouncing around as much as I do.”
