Voluptuous Paula Patton is set to be steaming up a newsstand near you as she's stripped down to her underwear for GQ's January issue.

The 36-year-old actress also chatted to the magazine about taking on the leading lady role in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, opposite Tom Cruise, 49.

'I was doing physical stunts, feet in the mud, fingernails full of dirt, shooting and fighting for my life,' she said.

She also talked about her marriage to Grammy-winning singer Robin Thicke, 34 , and her Canadian in-laws, 'Canadians are a lot like us, actually. I’ve figured out how to blend in.'

The actress got to shoot lots of action sequences for her role as Jane Carter in the movie and had to undergo gruelling martial arts, capoeira, kick boxing and weapons training before she could flex her muscles.

Paula admits the timing of the shoot was perfect because it came five months after she gave birth to her son Julian Fuego in April 2010 and whipped her into shape.

She told Bang Showbiz art London’s BFI IMAX premiere last week: 'In the wish to do all my own stunts it was quite a bit of training, especially because I'd just had my son five months prior so as you can imagine, I wasn't in tip-top shape.

It wasn't just about the outward appearance, which of course got affected, but it was about being able to do these stunts.'

Referring to the different disciplines she had to learn, she added: 'Once I felt like I could do those things, I felt like I could really be Jane Carter .'

Paula and Tom are joined in the critically-acclaimed movie by Simon Pegg and Lea Seydoux.

She also praised Tom – who reprises his role as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in the sequel – insisting he was a great support on set.

Paula said: 'It was an amazing experience. Those are the moments you dream of as an actress. He is very generous in that he wants to share the spotlight with everyone and make everyone shine.'

Sexy Mila Kunis scores a one-two punch as she's dubbed Knockout of the Year by GQ


By Laura Schreffler

She sparred onscreen with Justin Timberlake and sizzled alongside Natalie Portman, and now Mila Kunis is finally being honoured for her beauty and talent.

The 28-year-old actress has been named Knockout of the Year in GQ magazine's annual Men of the Year issue.

In her photograph, the sultry star looks dangerous and alluring in a revealing pink bikini top and black shrug.

Her loose, bedroom hair and smoky eye make-up add to the illusion of a vamp.

Next up for the single star, who was once rumoured to have been seeing co-star Friends With Benefits co-star Timberlake, is the Muppets movie.
She makes a cameo appearance in the film, which stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams and Rashida Jones.
She is also starring in Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut, Ted, alongside Mark Wahlberg.
Kunis is currently the voice of Meg, the annoying Griffin family daughter in Family Guy.
She isn't the only star to be honoured in GQ, of course. X-Men: Origins star Michael Fassbender was dubbed a Breakout star by the magazine, while Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon won the Showmen title.
Father-to-be Jay-Z, however, received the best award: he has been dubbed 'King' of the year.
In his interview with the men's magazine, the 41-year-old rapper talks about his wife and how he plans on raising his unborn child.
On announcing wife Beyonce's pregnancy at the VMA's this year, he said: 'It was actually Bey who wanted to [announce] it. You want to be in control of your life.'
Given that both he and his wife are musicians, it isn't surprising that he'd want his child to appreciate what he does for a living.

'There will be a lot of that. And a lot of other records, all pivotal, important records. There'll be Ready to Die, there'll be Illmatic.'
Of course, given that Jay is the 'King', he and his family have to live like royalty, which is why a baby seat is going in his Maybach.
'Yeah [I plan on putting one in]. Wouldn't that be great? That would be a great picture,' he says.

Twilight actress Kristen Stewart oozes old Hollywood glamour in a new photoshoot for GQ magazine

Blood-y good show: Twilight actress Kristen Stewart oozes old Hollywood glamour in a new photoshoot for GQ magazine

She's the demure, often sullen-faced star of one of the world's biggest movie franchises.

And Kristen Stewart appears to be channeling the Hollywood of old in a new shoot with GQ magazine.

The actress, 21, appears to have been styled in a retro manner for the set of pictures which evoke a bygone era, when Hollywood was a little more innocent (on the surface at least).

Kristen, who plays Bella Swan in the Twilight series, is seen reclining in a clingy red dress in one of the photos from her impressive shoot.

Channeling the likes of Kathryn Hepburn and Jane Seymour, the dark-haired beauty ppears perfectly suited to the retro look.

In another shot she poses in a bikini, but not the miniscule kind typically worn by women in photoshoots of today.

The swimwear again appears to have been snatched from a bygone era, Kristen's porcelain skin and dark styled locks matching her poolside outfit.

On the front cover too, she reclines on a sun lounger in the new pictures which were taken by photographer Norman Jean Roy.

Her glamorous makeover was a departure from the star's typical look, which is a lot more casual and 'tomboyish'.

In fact, during her interview with the men's magazine Kristen herself admitted that she'd undergone quite a transformation for the shoot.

She said: 'I looked like a boy for a long time. Now I feel like a woman.'

Miss Stewart recently revealed that she was not initially attracted to one of her new roles, as Snow White, but became interested after realising the new version was a very different take on the classic character.

'She truly does not let her heart cloud her mind,' the Twilight actress told Entertainment Weekly earlier this summer. 'Also I get to have a sword and stuff, and really cool weapons.

'This girl has the amazing ability to channel fear, things that people are typically afraid to do, into this really focused, really charged, driving energy,' she added.

The film - the first in a planned trilogy - is slated to be released in cinemas next year.

Stewart also appears as MaryLou in the adaptation of Jack Kerouac film On the Road, and stars in penultimate Twilight instalment Breaking Dawn, which will be released in November.

'I wouldn't wish myself on anybody!' Mila Kunis smoulders on the cover of GQ but insists she's not girlfriend material

She is the hottest actress on Hollywood right now, playing a sexually confident woman in the upcoming comedy Friends with Benefits, and now smouldering on the cover of men's magazine GQ.

But Mila Kunis insists dating her is no picnic.

Despite recently accepting a blind date with a US Marine, the 27-year-old star says: 'I wouldn't dare wish myself upon anybody at this point in my life!'

Dismissing the persistent rumours that her on screen romance with Justin Timberlake spilled over into real life, Mila reveals she is single following her split from long-term love Macauley Culkin in January.

The gorgeous brunette blames her busy lifestyle. She tells GQ: 'My shooting schedule is crazy. I'm a nomad till January.'



Mila rose to fame in That '70s show but saw her star explode when she appeared alongside Natalie Portman in last year's Oscar-winning ballet drama Black Swan. Now she is starring in the naughty rom-com Friends with Benefits, in cinemas next week.

Kunis and Timberlake play friends turned lovers who attempt to avoid the emotional complications sex inevitably brings to a relationship.

Mila believes a 'friends with benefits' relationship simply cannot work in real life. Asked if she's ever tried it herself, she tells the magazine: 'I haven't, but I can give you my stance on it: It's like communism - good in theory, in execution it fails.

She adds: 'Friends of mine have done it, and it never ends well. Why do people put themselves through that torture?'

Only time will tell if the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star will be keeping things strictly platonic when she goes on a date with a sergeant she is accompanying to the Marine Corps ball in November.

Just last week Sgt. Scott Moore, of the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines in Afghanistan, posted a video to YouTube asking Mila to be his date to the ball.

In the daring video he says: ‘I just want to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps ball on November 18 in Greenfield, North Carolina with yours truly. So take a second, think about it and get back to me.’

Shown the video by Fox411 during promotional duties for Friends with Benefits, Mila's co-star Justin Timberlake encouraged her to accept.

He said: ‘Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? You need to do it for your country. I'm going to work on this man. This needs to go down.’ Mila accepted the invitation.

Mila, who moved to Los Angeles from the Ukrainian SSR with her family when she eight, names Tina Fey and Lucille Ball among the females in Hollywood she looks up to.

She admits that good looks can sometimes distract from the work of female comedians.

'You want the attention to go to the joke itself rather than be distracted by who's delivering it,' she tells GQ. 'But look at Bridesmaids. That movie's full of beautiful women who are hysterical. I'm so proud of those ladies.

'You have no idea how hard it is for a woman in this business. A lot of people don't even think women are funny. It's f***** up, but you have to deal with guys like that. I've learned to roll with it.'

'They used to call me kipper lips', Rosie Huntington-Whiteley opens up about school bullies while posing topless in GQ magazine

She’s been doing the rounds in a series of glossy magazines since being named the Hottest Woman on Earth by Maxim, but Rosie Huntington-Whitely wasn’t always so popular.

The model-turned actress has opened up about her battle with former school ground bullies, who would call her ‘kipper lips’ and ‘t**t lips’.

The 24-year-old revealed the taunts while stripping down to a sheer deep red gown and bikini bottoms for the July issue of GQ magazine.

It’s not the first time Rosie has posed for the magazine, but this time she admitted: ‘I was teased about the way I looked at school.’

While being photographed topless with her arm covering her modesty, she said: ‘I got teased because of my lips.


‘I used to get called T**t lips – because I had big lips but no breasts. And then I was called Kipper Lips.

‘There was a big group of girls that was Devon’s answer to Mean Girls, and they would storm the bathrooms shouting, ‘I’m going to f****ing deck you, Lips! See you on the school bus’.

‘And boys didn’t really go out with me.’

Despite the grim portrayal of her childhood, the Tavistock-born beauty did say she had fun with friends too.

‘We’d hang around in soggy jeans drinking cider. I did long for the city. But I was a very outdoorsy kid.

‘Until I was 15, riding was my thing – I was horse-obsessed.’

But her whole life suddenly changed when she was 17 and started a summer internship in the back room of a modelling agency.

The Victoria’s Secret angel soon caught the attention of agency bosses, who turned her into a model.

‘I was shocked. I used to see all these supermodels walking into the agency – tall, elegant glamazons. I was just a big lump from Devon.

‘But within a year I was travelling to America, being booked for French Connection, Tommy Hillfiger, Abercrombie & Fitch. I started to make serious money.

‘Suddenly school didn’t seem quite so important.’

Since her big break, Rosie’s modelling career has sky-rocketed and seven years later, she has transformed into an actress for Michael Bay’s latest film.

She replaced Megan Fox in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, out next month, and plays Shia LaBeouf’s girlfriend in the film.

The modest star says that although she doesn’t think she’ll become the next Meryl Streep, she’s willing to work hard for a shot to make it big in Hollywood.

‘Would I like even a sniff of Angelina Jolie’s career? Yes. Do I think I have a future in this business? I certainly hope so. And I’m going to work damn hard to make sure I do,’ she said.

Rosie, who currently dates Jason Statham, added: ‘I’m not standing here and saying I’m an amazing actress or that I’ve had a heap of thespie training. But you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.’

The July issue of GQ is out next Thursday and GQ has exclusive footage of Rosie on its new iPad app out in June.
