Pop Talk: Michael Fassbender Covers ‘GQ’ June 2012
With his new movie Prometheus set to hit theaters on June 8th, Michael Fassbender landed the cover of the June 2012 issue of GQ magazine.
The 35-year-old German actor looked handsome in a suit for the Mario Testino shot spread while opening up about topics including his Oscar disappointment and rumoured co-star girlfriend.
On living in East London, “I always liked the energy ’round here. Traditionally more of a working-class area. A bit of an edginess to it, as well. And the parks are everywhere here. I always just felt like this was the right spot for me.”
On his big break in 2007, landing in Steve McQueen‘s Hunger, “There was something funny about that year. I realized that year somebody left the door open. I’m kind of superstitious – I was born in 1977, it was 2007. I just felt something in my bones.”

Pop Talk: Elizabeth Banks Covers Allure June 2012
With her new movie What To Expect When You’re Expecting set to hit theaters on May 18th, Elizabeth Banks cover the June 2012 issue of Allure magazine hitting newsstands May 22.
Here’s what the 38-year-old actress had to share:
On surrogacy: “Alec Baldwin asked me straight up — I had made a comment about wearing a fake belly, something innocuous and he looked me straight in the eye and asked me, ‘Are you pregnant right now?’ And I blanched totally. Because of course, technically, no I wasn’t. But then, technically, yes, in a way I was! And it was very weird. I thought Alec was reading my mind or something. Well we weren’t telling anyone then, so I said ‘No,’ I thought, is that a lie? Because it wasn’t a lie, and yet it was a lie! Its essentially a test tube baby—its just the test tube is another woman. That you can grow a baby outside of yourself! Its amazing!”
On her role in What To Expect When You’re Expecting: “I did it for my fellow females. I thought I was standing up for all the women who have crazy horrible pregnancies — you know, there’s all these things we’re not allowed to talk about in public.”
On her weight: “Its not good to put in a magazine what I weigh because its too little. People freak out when they hear what I weigh. They think, Oh, you’re too skinny. But I ate a cupcake last night–and I eat broccoli. I work out with a trainer; she kicks my ass.”

On her sheltered upbringing: “You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to f—ing happen to me. Just life. I want someone to f— me over! Do you know what I mean?”
On the gold ring circling her index finger, rumored to be from Robert Pattinson: “Everyone wants to know. Everyone knows already -it’s ridiculous.”
On what it’s like to see herself on screen: “Laurence Olivier was asked, ‘Actors, what’s the impulse? Why?’ And he was just like, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me …’ That was his answer. But at the same time it’s like, ‘Nooo, don’t look at me. Look at some version that I’m going to present to you. Let me control it.’”
On intensity of her characters’ roles: “It’s one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy.”
On the brown contact lenses she wears in the Twilight films: “It’s like I always have sunglasses on — soulless, googly-eyed sunglasses. You can’t feel your eyeballs. They ruined me.”
On riding horses in SWATH: “I hated it. I didn’t take to the whole mentality of f**king ordering that thing around — ‘Go now!’ You have to be an a**hole, basically. Not to say that horse people are a**holes to their horses. But you have to basically tell that thing who’s boss, and I didn’t want to do that. I was like, ‘No, do your thing. I don’t even want to be up here.’”

Rumors surfaced Tuesday afternoon about the departure of Tia Mowry from BET’s hit seriesThe Game. Unfortunately, those rumors have proved to be true.
Mowry, 33, confirmed via Twitter that she would be leaving the show to focus on other projects. She stated:
“Just wanted to let all my fans know that I will not be returning to The Game for season 6. It was an incredible run and I had lots of fun along the way. I am looking forward to my upcoming projects…the release of my book #OhBaby [today!], season 2 of @TiaTameraShow on @mystyle premiering in June, and my @ABCFamily movie coming out in December…more to come!” love u so much”
Tuesday night’s episode, presumably shot weeks ago, did not feature her character Melanie Barnett-Davis.
Mowry’s announcement comes as a surprise to many fans as the show has been picked up for a sixth season, with a reported 22 episodes. Reports have also been circulating that Pooch Hall will not be returning; the 35-year-old actor plays Derwin Davis on the NAACP Image Award-winning series. Hall has confirmed his role on Showtime’s new drama Ray Donovan, but has said he is working with BET on a new contract to balance both jobs.
