Kaley Cuoco invites us to fly the friendly skies in Watch! for July/August 2011.   The magazine partnered with American Airlines to photograph Kaley in what they’re touting as the “first ever in-flight fashion shoot.”  I am not sure I believe that no one has ever had that idea before, but no matter:  Kaley always manages to look amazing.

Oh and by the way, Watch! is a magazine all about CBS, published by – you guessed it – CBS.

What’s new for The Big Bang Theory‘s hottest star?   She helped introduce the upcoming fifth season of the show at Comic-Con last week.   She’ll also appear in The Drew Peterson Story, a Lifetime movie about the former Illinois police sergeant who is accused of killing his third wife.  Peterson (Rob Lowe), is also suspected in the disappearance of wife #4, Stacy, played by Kaley.

Check out Kaley’s other Watch! cover, plus behind the scenes video (via ETOnline) from her photoshoot after the  jump.

Portia de Rossi – pardon me, Portia DeGeneres – is the clean-living cover girl for the July/August 2011 issue of VegNews.   I don’t know about you, but I didn’t even recognize her in this photo.  I can’t even figure out what it is exactly, but I stared at this magazine in line at the grocery store for a long time, and keep looking at it, and I still have to rely on the caption to tell me for sure that this is Portia.

She talks about her choice to live a vegan life and curiously compares it to being gay.   Portia says:

“Listen, I think it’s more difficult to be vegan than gay.  I think people have a harder time accepting it; people feel more uncomfortable with a vegan at their dinner table than they do a lesbian. It’s confronting. It’s kind of suggesting that what someone else is doing is bad or wrong, and it hits them on a more personal level. … If somebody is sitting there eating a steak watching you eat polenta, they’re thinking that you’re trying to preach to them or you’re trying to convert them in some way. Whereas with being gay, I don’t think anyone’s concerned that that’s the agenda. ‘Hey, Mom, you also have to be gay. I’m gay and so should you be!’  Certainly when I told her that I was vegan, it forced her to look at her habits.”

Well then.

OK, for starters.   Even though Portia’s purportedly talking about what other people think of veganism, are her comments actually describing what she thinks of flesh eaters?  I’ve got lots of vegan friends, and I’ve never once felt that their dietary choices force me to look at my habits.  Years ago, I followed a vegan diet for several months for health reasons, and never felt that I was confronting anyone or suggesting that they were wrong with my choice of diet.

But that’s not even the main beef – pun kind of intended – I have with what Portia’s saying here.  She’s equating sexual orientation and diet.  By and large, for most people, how you eat is a choice.  Unless you’ve got food allergies or other health reasons that mandate you eat in a certain way, you’re choosing the foods you eat.  Most LGBT people, on the other hand, would tell you that their sexual orientation is not a choice.    I wonder if Portia feels it’s a choice for her?

Drew Barrymore is the star of Neiman Marcus‘ The Art of Fashion campaign for Fall 2011.   Photographed by Norman Jean Roy, the campaign will appear in a 16-page insert in the September 2011 issues of Vogue, Vanity Fair and W.

It’s worth noting that Drew is the first celebrity in 17 years to front this seasonal campaign; normally, the gig goes to a professional model.  I think Neiman Marcus made an excellent choice.  Drew looks amazing.

Designers highlighted in the shoot include Burberry Prorsum, Carolina Herrera, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors and more.

Rosario Dawson shows of a fabulous, beach-ready bikini body on the cover of August 2011′s Shape.   She looks incredible!  Rosario tells the magazine a few of her secrets to keeping herself healthy in body, mind and spirit.   Here’s a sampling of her wise words:

On dealing with change. “[It's] going to happen.  It’s how you process it that makes all the difference. With the right tools, you really can feel like you’re turning a page and starting a new chapter.”

On not feeling bad about the occasional indulgence. “The stress you put yourself through for having a treat is probably a thousand times worse for you than the sugar you just had.”

On her new favorite exercise – Pilates. “After just a couple of weeks, I noticed a physical change, especially in my posture. Now I stand differently, I sit differently. I don’t love working out, but I can honestly say I miss Pilates and how it makes my body feel. And there’s nothing like it when those endorphins kick in.”

Rosario currently stars in Zookeeper, out in theaters now.  For more of her interview, visit Shape Magazine.  And don’t forget to go behind the scenes with Rosario’s cover shoot after the jump.

The news of Amy Winehouse‘s death is reverberating through her family, friends, fans and the music world and many have taken to twitter to express their grief.

Kelly Osbourne, a long-time friend of the troubled singer, shared her feelings of loss and heartbreak at losing her friend.

“i cant even breath right my now im crying so hard i just lost 1 of my best friends. i love you forever Amy & will never forget the real you!” she tweeted.

The cause of Winehouse’s death at age 27 is still under investigation but she has struggled with addiction in the past. Kelly and Amy’s father helped checked the “Back to Black” singer into rehab back in 2008.

Winehouse has had a few more tries since then to get sober and stay but as recently as last month, it appeared that the singer’s addiction reared it’s head again. Amy was booed off stage in Serbia and had to cancel the remaining tour dates.

But twitter being what it is, someone raised the question to Kelly about helping Winehouse. Osbourne responded angrily:

“are you f****** kidding me you have NO idea what you are talking about! it would be in your best interest to shut the f*** up!”

Osbourne is leaving twitter for a little while and sent one final message to friends and fans.

“i miss my friend! im going to be off twitter for a while thank you for all your support! #pray4amy”
