“Nowadays children look at everyone in the magazines and they want to be a basketball star or on a television show, but there are only so many people who can do those things. But you still should aim or dream for these things.”

Heidi also lashed out at parents who blame the fashion industry for causing young girls to develop eating disorders.

Kristen Stewart: ‘Twilight Could Make me Mental’

Kristen Stewart thinks appearing in the Twilight series could have made her a “psychopath”.

The 19-year-old actress — who plays Bella in the vampire film franchise — decided to take on different roles while making the Twilight movies to ensure she didn’t become too immersed in them.

“I think I would have been a psychopath by the end of a four-year stint on the Twilight saga without anything like that to change it up,” said Stewart, who who recently shot Joan Jett biopic The Runaways.

(Denied: Kristen Stewart isn’t arrogant!)

Kristen admits she was unaware how much her life would change when she took on the role of Bella, who falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson.

She now finds it hard to complete everyday tasks without being mobbed by fans, but is convinced the interest in her life will die down.

“I have a really strong feeling that this is going to go away, that this is the most intense it’s going to get – and could get – and that it’s fleeting,” she said.

“I’d like to take more walks after work, instead of having to come back to my hotel room and not leave.

“Some nights, I think, ‘You know what? I don’t care. I’m just going to do what I want to do.’ Then the next day I think, ‘Ugh. Now everyone thinks I’m going out to get the attention.’ But it’s like, ‘No, I actually, for a second, thought that maybe I could be like a normal person.’ ”

Stewart recently revealed she hates having to lock herself away in her hotel room.

The Invention of Lying Star Gervais: ‘Lying is Good’

Ricky Gervais insists lying can be good.

The British comedian — who makes his movie directing debut in new film The Invention of Lying — says not always telling the truth can be beneficial because it makes someone else feel better.

“My mum was dying for about a year, and it was terrible,” he said. “And I always told myself that if she asked, ‘Is there a heaven?’ then I would lie and say, ‘Yes.’ I think it’s a good lie — religion, or at least spirituality and a belief in something else, probably started as a few white lies to comfort even oneself.”

Ricky also revealed he is pleased he waited until he was older before finding success as it enabled him to produce good work.

Speaking about The Office — the hit comedy series which made him a worldwide star — he said, “I’d never tried as hard with anything as I did with The Office, and it was one of the things I’m proud of.

“I wasn’t trying to be famous or a comedian, but this opportunity came along when I was 38 or 39. It came late, and I couldn’t have been prouder of it. I remember saying to my girlfriend, ‘Why didn’t I do this earlier?’ And she said, ‘Well, you wouldn’t have been any good at it.’”

Ellen Page loves shoveling goat manure.

The 22-year-old actress took time away from the spotlight after appearing in 2007 movie Juno to deal with her newfound fame, and found completing manual tasks helped her relax.

“I went to Oregon to study permaculture and lived in an eco-village for a month outside Eugene. It’s called Lost Valley. It was amazing and exactly what I needed,” she said.

“You’re learning how to live in a holistic way with the cycles of the Earth. At one point I was digging goat manure and putting it into a wheelbarrow, and while shoveling it, I just went, ‘Oh, my God, this is exactly what I want to be doing right now.’”

Ellen is determined not to change now she is famous, adding her life is so normal she hopes people won’t be interested in hearing about it.

“I’m not a fancy person,” she said. “I love small spaces. I like tiny cars. I don’t buy things, aside from music and books. I don’t get loads of attention and maybe it’s because I’m kind of boring.

“I don’t think I’m boring, but I have different interests. I don’t go out much, not because I’m hiding but because I’m not a big drinker. I go out and have a good time, I go to concerts and stuff.”

The Whip It star added she gives herself a stern talking to if she is ever moody because she does not want to appear spoilt.

I woke up the other day and I was noticing that I was cranky,” she said. “That’s ridiculous. The only times I get conflicted with my job is that I feel so lucky.”
