Michelle Williams Is Marie Claire Magnificent

Michelle Williams is surrounded by an ethereal pink chiffon Valentino cloud for the cover of Marie Claire’s February 2011 issue. Williams radiates happiness from the front of the magazine.

The Blue Valentine actress shared with Marie Claire a bit about advice a famous friend gave her:

“To give credit where credit is due, I was sharing a difficulty I was experiencing with Reese Witherspoon, and she said, ‘Yes, I understand, but think about how much more difficult this would be without the luxury of a reliable, steady income.”

Williams editorial and photo shoot for the publication is called “Belle Michelle.” Appropriate, yes?

Andrew Garfield “When You’re Struggling, You Get Stronger”

Andrew Garfield is on the verge of becoming one of the biggest young stars in Hollywood and he’s none too pleased. Garfield, who landed the coveted part of Peter Parker in the upcoming Spider-Man film/franchise, tells the February issue of Details magazine:

“I realized immediately how much hard work it was going to be, and how much of a minefield it was going to be in terms of all the shit that comes with it. Stuff that I would like to not have any part of. I mean visibility and being recognized walking down the street. I’m holding out a naïve and ignorant hope that won’t happen.”

The 27 year-old isn’t ungrateful, just wary of how stardom can change your life. He’s set to have an incredible year not just as the webbed superhero but he’s in The Social Network - which is on every major awards roster coming up and he’s been nominated with his Spidey costar Emma Stone for the BAFTA Orange Rising Star Award. Garfield just wants to continue striving, never resting on his laurels:

“I hope this period doesn’t end. I hope I never blow up. I hope that I have to audition for every single job I want. I hope that I’m always struggling, really. You develop when you’re struggling. When you’re struggling, you get stronger.”

Resisting the fame monster is always difficult but Garfield may just have the formula figured out.

More photos and a behind the scenes video of his photo shoot are under.

Ty Murray & Jewel Are Joyous! A Baby Is On The Way

Jewel and her husband Ty Murray announced they are expecting a baby.

“I took a pregnancy test and it was positive!” the singer, 36, tells PEOPLE. “It was so hard to keep it a secret. I was worried I’d start throwing up on set [of her new reality TV show Going Platinum] and everyone would be like, ‘Oh, she’s pregnant.’ “

The singer and her rodeo star husband are remodeling their 2,200 acre ranch in Texas and turning a guest room into a nursery.

The couple wed in 2008 and have been trying to conceive for two years.

Country Singer Chely Wright Faces Death Threats Because She’s Gay

In May of 2010 country singer Chely Wright announced through a People magazine cover story that she was gay.

The musician made the talk show rounds and said lovely rosy things about the experience. Close to a year later, Wright has changed her tune. The industry and the fans aren’t as pleased as she initially thought and her album sales have tanked to half of what they were before her reveal. Wright also spoke about getting hate mail and being basically ostracized by the Nashville music community.

In an interview with Autostraddle, Wright says:

It didn’t help my career. My record sales went directly in half. If it appears from the outside in that it’s helped my career, it could be because I haven’t talked about the negative. You won’t hear me bitching and moaning on my Facebook about the hate mail I’ve gotten. My life has been threatened. I get nasty letters every day, “I’m through with you Chely Wright, you’re going to hell.” There’s a big difference between press and advocacy and…. sometimes people forget that people who sing or make movies, this isn’t just a hobby for us. This is how I pay my bills. In coming out I had a feeling that it would diminish my wage earning, and that feeling was correct. And, I am fine with that.

The “Single White Female” songstress says the only Nashville artist who publicly supported her was Mary Chapin Carpenter.

For now, Wright says she is determined to forge ahead and make a difference by starting the LIKE ME Foundation which is about inclusion and support for the LGBT community.

No Second Season For ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’

No more “Mama Grizzly” for now…

Sarah Palin will not return to TLC for a second season of her TV show Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

EW is reporting that the former Governor of Alaska and one time Vice President nominee seems to have no plans to do another round of the show that has given her plenty of fans and critics.

Producer Mark Burnett and team are not headed up to film more episodes and if they did and Palin announced her candidacy, TLC would have to provide equal time for her rivals.

Is this the biggest sign yet that Palin has decided to run for President?

Shakira Announces Split With Boyfriend

After close to 11 years together, Colombian singer Shakira announced that she and her boyfriend Antonio de la Rua have parted ways.

Shakira posted a joint statement signed by her and Antonio on her blog stating:

During our almost 11 years together we have loved each other deeply, taken care of each other and stood by one another. They have been the most wonderful years of our lives, and thanks to that love and the respect that we share for one another we have been an exceptional couple and partners.

However, since August 2010, we made a mutual decision to take time apart from our romantic relationship. Throughout this time we have continued to work together hand in hand, have remained close and have kept the details absolutely private until now.

We view this period of separation as temporary and as a time of individual growth as we continue to be partners in our business and professional lives.

The statement goes on to say that they will continue their business relationship and no further comments will be made or addressed publicly.

Is Kendall Jenner Too Young For This Kind Of Modeling?

Kim Kardashian‘s little sister Kendall Jenner is only 15 years old but she’s already a successful model.  Last year she posed for some seriously sexy bikini photos, and now she’s got a gig showing off Marc Clark‘s new t-shirt line.

Do not get me wrong:  Kendall is a gorgeous, gorgeous girl, and she looks fantastic.  But should a 15 year old girl be looking this fantastic?  I mean, these are pretty provocative photos.   And I have to wonder if she’s doing this because she wants to, or if she’s being pushed into it by her family.

See more of Kendall’s Marc Clark campaign after the jump. (Read the article)

Michael Douglas: “The Tumor Is Gone”

Michael Douglas has announced that he is cancer free!   In an interview with Today‘s Matt Lauer that will air on Tuesday, Douglas shares:

“I feel good, relieved…The tumor is gone.”

He will be undergoing monthly check-ups with his doctor to ensure that he remains healthy and that signs of cancer are not returning.   Douglas had announced in August 2010 that he had a throat tumor that would be treated with radiation and chemotherapy.

I’m loving all the good celebrity health news this week.  Cancer is horrible, awful, and I’m just torn up every time I hear about another diagnosis, but hearing that both Adam Yauch and Michael Douglas have beaten it makes me feel a little optimistic.
