In the late '90s, there were few people cooler than the boy band *NSYNC — at least according to teenage girls. And they thought frontman Justin Timberlake was the coolest! Grinning or trying to look tough from under his curly, bleach-blond hair, and wearing chunky necklaces and jackets coordinated with his bandmates, he seemed to believe the hype. Now 31, however, J.T. reveals to Details magazine that looking back, he thinks he looked pretty ridiculous while working with JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick. "There were many moments in my teenage years where I succumbed to, um, the weirdness of the group I was in," he said. "And in trying to conform — we're marionettes! — I ended up looking like a moron." (As you'll recall, the guys famously played marionettes in the video for their highly addictive song "Bye Bye Bye" and on the cover of their 2000 No Strings Attached album. )

VanCamp on the cover of Lucky (Thomas Schenk/LUCKY)On the ABC drama "Revenge," vengeful vigilante Emily Thorne has her pick of male suitors — from scruffily handsome bar owner Jack Porter to the wildly different Daniel Grayson, who's the preppy, rich son of her archrival — and it doesn't seem the hot love triangle will end anytime soon. So what qualities is her real-life counterpart Emily VanCamp looking for in a guy? Well, for one, that he has daddy potential.

Ben Watts/GLAMOURCountry crooner Carrie Underwood plays the jealous woman well in videos for her angry songs like "Before He Cheats." But the 29-year-old insists that she's not like that in real life. In fact, she and her husband of almost two years, Canadian-born pro hockey player Mike Fisher, who plays for the Nashville Predators, sometimes go weeks without seeing each other due to busy schedules. And Underwood, who's famously dated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and "Gossip Girl's" Chace Crawford, says she doesn't even worry about the long distance — something she couldn't say before. "But he's the only guy I've never had to worry about. Any guy I've ever dated, there would always be that doubt: 'He didn't answer his phone. What's he doing? It's late,'" Underwood reveals in a new interview with Glamour magazine. "I'm not the crazy-girlfriend type, but there was a little voice in the back of my head. I don't have to worry about Mike. I don't think twice. He's going out? I don't care; it doesn't bother me. I don't bat an eye." Underwood even explains that the distance is good for the pair. "We're both independent people, so we can't have somebody around 24 hours a day, seven days a week," she says.

Lawrence Schiller/Vanity FairBy now, you'd think the world has seen every picture of Marilyn Monroe in existence and heard every story there is to tell about the iconic actress, who would have turned 86 on June 1. But the June issue of Vanity Fair proves there's more Marilyn scoop to be had, even 50 years after her death. The magazine has published a set of six never-before-seen suggestive pictures of the star taken by photographer Lawrence Schiller (who was 23 and went by Larry Wolf back when he took the pics) during a legendary poolside photo shoot.

Wrinkle-free McCarthy (Gregg Deguire/WireImage)Most actresses deny they've had any plastic surgery, even if it's just a little Botox here and there — but not Jenny McCarthy. The 39-year-old model-turned-actress says she actually loves getting injections of the filler. "I'm an obvious Botox user," she tells Life & Style. "I tell everyone." But McCarthy is quick to add that a little goes a long way. "I get Botox in my forehead," she says. "I just have my doctor do a little shot."

Author/designer/actress Lisa Rinna hits the red carpet. (Steve Granitz/WireImage)Actress Lisa Rinna is not one to shy away from uncomfortable topics. The "Days of Our Lives" star has talked frankly about plastic surgery, filmed a commercial for Depend incontinence products, and even wrote about losing her sex drive after childbirth in her 2008 advice book Rinnavation. In fact, her latest project, a book called The Big, Fun, Sexy Sex Book, co-authored with sex therapist Ian Kerner, is a handbook for getting the most out of intimate relationships — something Rinna, 48, thinks we should all discuss more. "We talk all day long about diet and fitness, eating healthy and working out and skincare and this and that and the other thing, but we really don't talk about sex and how important it is in keeping a relationship solid, and how important it is for your health, so I thought why not?" Rinna told omg!. "I love to talk about things that are taboo and you're not really supposed to talk about anyway, so there's no reason why you can't get really good information out there."

People has named Beyonce the world’s most beautiful woman. (People) Let's be honest: Hollywood is filled with genetically-blessed women. But who is the loveliest of them all? Well, according to People magazine, it's Beyonce Knowles. The new mom has been named People's World's Most Beautiful Woman 2012 and graces the cover of the mag's new special double issue.

Terry Richardson/Harper's BazaarRevenge can be so sweet. Kate Upton, the 19-year-old model chosen for the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated, Swimsuit Edition was dissed earlier this year when one of the people behind the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Sophia Neophitou, told The New York Times that she "would never use" Upton, essentially calling her too commercial. "She's like a Page 3 girl," Neophitou said, referring to what The Times calls "the scantily-clad voluptuous women" featured in the London tabloid The Sun. "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy." But in the latest edition of Harper's Bazaar, Kate proves the catty commentor and anyone who's ever doubted that she could pull off modeling big-name designers wrong. Upton is absolutely chic as she models looks by Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Gucci, Chloe, and other brands in an Old Hollywood-themed shoot. She poses in and around the Bevery Hills Hotel (she even wears a swimsuit near the pool!) and next to a couple of leading men, actor/rocker Jared Leto and "Parks and Rec" actor/comedian Aziz Ansari.
