“Yeah. I talk with people. I think it’s important.
I wouldn’t call ‘em a shrink, but it’s good to have communication with whomever, whether it’s a mentor or a therapist or a psychiatrist, whether it’s your mom or your dad or your best friend.
I think at some point I had to say that I deserve to be happy.”
“I hated that whole boho tag. I was either known for being Jude’s girlfriend or wearing my mum’s old skirts. I hope people understand me a bit better now,” says Sienna Miller in Elle UK.
When asked by Elle if she’s in a relationship with Chris Brown, Rihanna says “We’ve always been friends, but we’re very close now.”
According to the mag, shortly after the interview Perez Hilton posted an item of the two of them together in Jamaica.
She was much more at ease than when she was asked about her relationship with Jay-Z.

I had to dig through the Elle Rihanna cover story to find this tidbit but it’s so good!
Make the jump!
Elle was said to have parted company with the editor, “Project Runway” star, author and peddler of BlackBerries on Friday, according to WWD.

Sure Kate looks hot. When doesn’t she?
But what really caught my attention on this cover was the line “Why I choose unpredictable men.”
Talk about perfect timing for Elle UK to hit the newsstand as Kate is back with Owen Wilson!
I had to read the article and share with you some of her very open attitude towards life and her lifelong connection to her husband ex-husband Chris Robinson (You’ll see what I mean):
Some excerpts from the Natalie’s interview:
On Hillary Clinton
You ask people why they don’t like her and it’s because her husband cheated on her! That was obviously not her choice. She’s so much more polished and experienced than anyone else. Last night, a friend, a social worker in L.A. who works with underprivileged kids, was saying how these girls who have never been interested in politics before are so excited that a woman might be president.
On the other candidates
I also like Obama. I even like McCain. I disagree with his war stance—which is a really big deal—but I think he’s a very moral person. I met him and Hillary on the same day, actually, when I went to Washington with Finca [a nonprofit that gives loans to businesswomen in developing countries]. Hillary was by far the smartest person I met that day.
On her own independence and people’s reactions
It’s definitely complicated. I bury it a lot, which is a very common woman thing to do. They say women often preface their statements with “This might sound stupid, but…” It sort of tempers what you are going to say. It takes the edge off so you can still be seen as ladylike. I think I have a lot of that in me. I’m very non-confrontational; I’m definitely a pleaser.
