"Look at a picture of me before I was 15. I am a boy. I wore my brother's clothes, dude! Not like I cared that much, but I remember being made fun of because I wasn't wearing Juicy jeans. I didn't even think about it. But it's not like I didn't care that they made fun of me. It really bothered me. I remember this girl in sixth grade looked at me in gym and was like, 'Oh my God! That's disgusting - you don't shave your legs!" she told Vanity Fair.
Kristen also complained that she has "been criticized a lot for not looking perfect in every photograph."
"I get some serious s**t about it. I'm not embarrassed about it. I'm proud of it. If I took perfect pictures all the time, the people standing in the room with me, or on the carpet, would think, 'What an actress! What a faker!' That thought embarrasses me so much that I look like s**t in half my photos, and I don't give a f**k. What matters to me is that the people in the room leave and say, 'She was cool. She had a good time. She was honest.' I don't care about the voracious, starving s**t eaters who want to turn truth into s**t."

Will Ferrell lost his virginity at the age of 21.
The 44-year-old actor - who now has three sons with wife Viveca Paulin - first became intimate with a woman during his junior year of college, and admitted the experience felt like "the way it was supposed to happen."
"In my mind's eye, it seemed like the way it was supposed to happen."
However, the Anchorman actor explained his mother thought he had lost his virginity during his high school years to a girl who was particularly popular with his male classmates. "She said, 'If you slept with this girl, you'd better slap a condom on that pecker of yours,'" he added, speaking in an interview with Rolling Stone.
Will's college years in the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at the University of Southern California also saw him strip off on a number of occasions to impress his fellow classmates. "In college, they had this thing where you'd run naked on fraternity row, and if anyone challenged me, I'd be happy to do it."

Shakira Has Incompetent Parents
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Charity, Kind Acts, Rumors,
Shakira thought her parents were “the most incompetent business people in the world” when she was eight.
The “She Wolf” singer said she was upset and frightened when her father, a jeweler, went bankrupt and had to sell most of the family possessions when she was a child. The experience did, however, lead them give her a lesson she has never forgot about true poverty.
“I couldn’t believe my parents! I thought they were the most incompetent business people in the world! And I was so upset. My dad and my mom took me to the park that day, where all the kids who were orphans are sniffing glue to deal with the tragedy of their own lives and hunger and the solitude of their lives. Little kids, like my age, sniffing glue and barefoot. They just wanted to show me another reality that was much worse than mine. Those images of those kids left a huge impression.”
Shakira, who found fame in her native Columbia as a teenager, later went on to establish the Pies Descalzos Foundation, a charity which sets up special schools for underprivileged children across her home country. She is also a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and regularly performs at benefit concerts around the globe.
In February she also opened a new $6 million school in her hometown Barranquilla sponsored by herself and the Pies Descalzos Foundation.
Madonna Dreamt of Candy Stores
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
The Queen of Pop had strong ambitions when she was a teenager, especially her dream of working in a candy store.
Madonna, who now follows a strict diet and exercise regime, was so “obsessed” with sweet treats as a teenager that she wanted to get a job selling them.
“My dream was always to work in a candy store. It was because of my obsession with candy. I’m not obsessed anymore, now that my teeth are all rotten! I did go to a university for a year and there was a candy shop that I used to go to all the time, an old-fashioned one where all the candy was in these big glass jars. I used to go in there and look at all the candy and think, ‘God, it would be really cool to work in here; I could have candy whenever I wanted.’”
However, the singer’s ambitions changed when she moved to New York in the ‘70s and decided that she wanted to be a pop star, no matter what it took: “When I moved to the Big Apple, that was when I knew that that’s what I was going to do—be a singer and a songwriter and an entertainer. I didn’t care if I had to starve, and live in a room with five guys, and wash in a sink; that was what I’m going to do. And because I lived a pretty dismal life and I didn’t care.”
Sandra Bullock’s Special Lisp
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rants,
Sandra Bullock is having second thoughts on her childhood life choices, wishing she had embraced her lisp.
The All About Steve star is angry “society” forced her to correct her speech impediment when she was a child instead of accepting that “flaws” make people “special.” The 45-year-old star explained:
“When I was eight and had my speech impediment I wish someone had said to me, ‘Don’t change. Be who you are.’ But society is really strong in their opinions. I had a lisp that I had to get rid of, and I had to have speech therapy. I just think, ‘Why? Why did I need to get rid of a lisp?’ It’s that whole, ‘What is normal?’ thing. Why can’t we embrace people as they are? I wish I had realized that the things I thought were weaknesses and flaws were just me. They are unique traits that make special human beings.”
Sandra also blames sexism for making women feel bad about their bodies and personalities: “Why is it that young boys and men are unique and eccentric and are mavericks when they’re different, but women are odd when we are eccentric or different? It’s just not fair.”
