Quote of the Day — Bill Maher Knows What a Woman Wants

Emily Shur / Corbis Outline

“They are more like you than not like you. Treat her like you would a friend, and you’ll wind up with a lover. What women want in a man, more than anything, is authenticity.” Bill Maher’s very astute observation to Men’s Journal on what a woman wants.

Hayden Panettiere Covers Women’s Health Magazine

Hayden Panettiere covers the October issue of Women’s Health Magazine to promote her upcoming television series, Nashville. Though most of the interview is relatively boring, there is one funny quote about her form of exercise involving avoiding elevators to appease her anxious friend. Read below.

Hayden on having inner- and outer-beauty

“People can tell when you’re happy with being you and when you’re not. It’s only cheesy because it’s true. As I’ve gotten older and grown into my body, I’ve started realizing that the way you carry yourself and that light coming out of your eyes are the most attractive things about you.”

Hayden on why she does her own vocals for Nashville

“I always said if I was ever going to do music again, I’d do country. There’s honesty and truth in it.”

Hayden on the camaraderie among country singers

“L.A. is more cutthroat, but in Nashville they want you to do well. You see it with the stars. When they’re performing, they’re all cheering for each other.”

Hayden on being physically criticized by the media at 16

“I was mortified. It gave me such body dysmorphia for so long. But I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion, not a fact. And it has always made me feel better.”

Hayden on getting over her fear of the ocean to swim with humpback whales

“When you’re there and you’re in it, it’s less intimidating. ”

Hayden on how she amps up her beauty routine

“You wouldn’t wear baggy clothes on top and baggy on the bottom. If I do smoky eyes, I go for soft pink lips.”

Hayden on her work with the Whaleman Foundation

“I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet.”

Hayden on how she creatively works out

“My best friend, Amy, has an elevator phobia, so we always take the stairs. We will walk 12 flights. It’s less embarrassing than getting into an elevator with her.”

Hayden on detoxifying her body and mind with Bikram Yoga

“It can be tough, but you’re sweating out toxins and water weight.”

Hayden on counting her blessings, not calories

“I find out that when I’m overly concerned about what I eat, I stress out my body and put on weight.”

Oprah to Usher: “Do You Have Sex to Your Own Music?”

Of all the questions Oprah asks Usher in her upcoming interview, the most interesting whether he “makes love to his own music.” My guess is that he answers yes, since Usher reeks of narcissism. But I will certainly tune in to find out.

First Look: Usher on Oprah’s Next Chapter

Heidi Klum Responds to Seal: “I Didn’t Cheat”

I owe Heidi Klum an apology. I naturally assumed that when the news broke that she’s “fornicating with the help,” as Seal suggested, that she had an affair while married. But after watching her very likable interview with Katie Couric, I’ve changed my mind. There’s something about Klum that reads as genuine. As for Couric, it’s still unclear to me whether her face is permanently stuck in the form of a smile. Watch below.
