Career? Booming.

Marriage? Happy.

New movie? A comedy!

Yes, we're talking about the same Jennifer Connelly who became a star with brilliant portrayals of female anguish. The star of "He's Just Not That Into You" and mom of two met up with Glamour to talk about marriage and laughing off bad blind dates.

On honesty in her marriage:
"Neither my husband [actor Paul Bettany] nor I are interested in being sneaky or mincing words. If I break something, for example, I have to announce it. I'm a compulsive confessor. "

[ See Jennifer Connellys entire Glamour photo shoot ]

On being married:
"I had enough time being single to know I have no regrets about being married."

On being sure Paul was The One:
"It was something about the way that we were together. He stood out to me as someone singular and rare and beautiful, and I liked the way he was in the world. I liked the way he was with people. I liked the way he was with my son and the way he made me feel."

On the singles-scene:
"It's been so long since I've dated that I don't understand what's going on anymore with things like Facebook and MySpace. And a friend of mine wrote 'LOL' to me the other day. I thought she meant 'Lord, oh, Lord.'"

On a bad blind date:
"It was horrible! I went on a date with a guy who played his guitar for me and was so full of himself. We had plans to go out to a party, and he was driving and I remember saying, 'You know what? I'm so sorry, but I'd like to go home please.' So I got out of the car and I left."

    She's come a long way since starring in Labyrinth back in the 80's. She still looks the same though! Those eyebrows are her trademark....not everyone can rock those babies like she does. Stop hatin'.
