Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, the stars of Slumdog Millionaire, cover the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, with their EIGHT Academy Awards!
In the issue, the magazine chronicles how the small film from India, helmed by a Brit (Danny Boyle) became an Oscar darling.
“Working on the film has sparked a confidence in me, and a passion for acting,” Patel says. “I feel I can hold my head up high now. I feel like I matured five years in the space of five months. I’m 18 and I was at the Oscars yesterday!”
While Pinto, who can next be seen under the direction of Woody Allen, says of her journey, “Now I think that the fruit of the struggle ends up being the sweetest taste possible. I mean, this is strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, bananas–the sweetest fruits in the world put together. It changed my life!”

Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello has revealed a few gem spoilers about Gossip Girl‘s Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) and Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) in his “Ask Ausiello” column.
“Word around the UES is that Serena will soon share something in common with Anne Hathaway. And garnering Oscar buzz ain’t it,” the TV expert writes on EW.com.
Apparently blogs have been saying that Lily and Rufus’ love child died, but Ausiello coyly says that’s “only half of it.”
Ausiello also adds another twist to the GG storyline saying, “I have a sneaking suspicion that Chuck’s mother is alive.”
Blindie’s theory is: Chuck is the son of Lily and Rufus, and Serena is heir to the royal family of some obscure European country, perhaps even a princess! Boy, will that make Blair jealous!

There’s only a handful of shows that feature remarkably complex women enduring and reaching for the stars in a man’s world. And this year’s breakout show is definitely AMC’s Mad Men.
Entertainment Weekly gives props to the three lead actresses in the 1960s-era, Emmy-winning show: Christina Hendricks who plays sex pot office manager Joan; Elisabeth Moss who plays secretary-turned-copy editor Peggy; and January Jones who plays vengeful housewife Betty Draper.
“I love that I get to represent these powerful, smart women from the ’60s who tried to break through the glass ceiling,” Moss, 26, who is up for a Golden Globe and SAG award, tells EW.
While Jones, 30, who is up for a Golden Globe, said, “The episode where Betty finally kicked Don out of the house, the response I got from friends and family was ridiculous!”

Despite the fact that they’re suffering in the ratings race (they nab 3 million viewers on a good day), the cast of Gossip Girl continues to reign when it comes to water cooler talk.
This week, the gorgeous stars appear on three separate covers of Entertainment Weekly, where they discuss their juicy sophomore season.
Blindie’s favorite girl Jessica Szohr appears on the cover with onscreen love interest Chace Crawford, while our guilty pleasure bad boy Ed Westwick shares a cover with the amazingly bitchy Leighton Meester, and Blake Lively and Penn Badgley split their own as well.
”I’m more enthusiastic about these new [episodes], because I feel like this is a little more fun for me,” Crawford tells EW.
But with Nate’s crazy cougar love now in the picture, he’s creating a love triangle with on-and-off-again love Szohr, according to the magazine. ”There’s definitely a couple of scenes where Mädchen’s [the cougar] character and I get into it,” Szohr reveals!
Lord knows Blindie loves a catfight! Remember to CHECK BACK for Blindie’s Monday night Gossip Girl recap!
