(Tim Munro for Allure)Sigh.

Every time we seem to be making progress in the way women are portrayed in magazines, somehow we take a step back.

The latest reminder that we still have a ways to go is that Allure magazine's latest cover, featuring gorgeous actress Zoe Saldana, describes its cover model as "115 Pounds of Grit and Heartache."

While that may be true, readers probably didn't need to know precisely how much "grit and heartache" she possesses.

It's not clear if or how the number fits into the piece since the full interview with the actress has yet to be released but when omg! inquired about the headline, Saldana's rep referred omg! to Allure, who in turn said "no comment."

Whomever is responsible, the decision to showcase Saldana's digits seems so … unnecessary.

Christina Hendricks (Ben Watts)Christina Hendricks did not set out to spend her life working alongside beautiful men like as Ryan Gosling and Jon Hamm. Really.

"I just thought I would work in a hair salon and do community theater," the 38-year-old "Mad Men" actress reveals to Lucky Magazine.

After working as a model in NYC, Hendricks decided to go for it, and now stars in the critically acclaimed TV show, in addition to movies, such as the 2014 thriller "How to Catch a Monster," written and directed by her "Drive" co-star Ryan Gosling. Lucky girl!

Hendricks, who married "(500) Days of Summer" actor Geoffrey Arend in October 2009, acknowledges that Gosling is "handsome." However, she says his appeal is deeper.

(Tom Munro for Allure)Zoe Saldana is so over dating men in her profession.

The 34-year-old, who dated Bradley Cooper until early this year and spent more than a decade in a relationship with actor-turned-businessman Keith Britton, is certain about that.

"Been there, done that, got the T-shirt," she explains in a new interview with Allure.

In fact, she reveals that she's considered having a non-traditional family, so she wouldn't have to deal with Cooper … or any other man, for that matter.

Nicki Minaj (Sebastian Kim/Teen Vogue)Nicki Minaj always seems so confident -- and sassy.

And though she's not everyone's favorite -- Minaj tends to be one of those people you instantly embrace or don't -- the 30-year-old star has a loyal fan following, not to mention her own perfume, a campaign for M.A.C. Viva Glam makeup, and a job as a judge on "American Idol." (She may or may not be returning to the singing competition next season, depending on whom you ask.)

In the new issue of Teen Vogue, the "Beauty and the Beat" singer explains how she developed the thick skin that enables her to be her authentic self, no matter what anyone else thinks.

In case you haven't heard, Kellan Lutz is back on the market.

The 28-year-old best known as one of those blood-thirsty Cullens from "Twilight" and his girlfriend of nearly two years, Australian actress Sharni Vinson, have reportedly called it quits. (His rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

But at the exact moment his relationship has ended, the actor's career is in overdrive. He'll play the ripped main character in 2014's "Hercules," and provide the voice of Tarzan in an upcoming adaptation of the jungle story. This month, he stars alongside Amber Heard and Brittany Snow in the satirical comedy "Syrup," which is currently available on pay-per-view and hits theaters June 1. "Syrup" is about a guy who has an idea for a new product that he thinks could earn him big bucks, but only if he trusts the villainous Sneaky Pete, who's played by Lutz.

Omg! caught up with the hunk about his "Twilight" co-stars, his latest flick, and -- the biggest question of all -- how he maintains such a buff bod!

Miley Cyrus is back.

The 20-year-old singer-actress lost handily to model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley the last time she stepped into the ring for a Fashion Faceoff. Let's see if she can do any better in the same outfit against precocious 12-year-old singer Willow Smith.

Prince Harry and Michelle Obama (Mark Wilson/Getty Images)Britain's most eligible bachelor has begun a week-long tour of the U.S.

On Thursday, Prince Harry landed in the Washington, D.C.-area and promptly rubbed elbows with political heavyweights.

The 28-year-old, who's stateside to promote Britain, support wounded veterans, and help some of his favorite causes, appeared with Obama at a White House event honoring the mothers of service members.

"Well, surprise!" Obama said as she introduced Harry to a cheering crowd of moms and children who had not expected the royal redhead.

The real-life Bieber hits the red carpet. (Rabbani and Solimene Photography/WireImage)Justin Bieber has already taken over this world.

Now the swaggy 18-year-old is headed to the animated land of Springfield.

The Biebs makes a cameo on Sunday's episode of "The Simpsons," in which he'll play himself trying to get into a talent show where Bart is performing.

Bieber recorded his voice for the long-running Fox sitcom way back in August, which seems like eons ago in the Bieber-verse. It was before he and Selena Gomez called it quits (the first time), before he collapsed during a concert, and before he was separated from his monkey in Germany.
