While we can't help but admire Jessica Biel's beauty, apparently her looks are the worst thing to ever happen to her.

In an interview in the June issue of Allure Magazine, Biel explains that her beauty actually hampers her career.

Blake Lively is 5’10.

Put her in some bangin’ Louboutins and she’s reaching basketball player status.

Add to that a face beaten down with pancake makeup and a few hours in the wardrobe trailer, and what do you have?

“I feel like a tranny a lot of the time,” the 21-year-old Gossip Girl star tells Allure Magazine.

“I’m large, they put me in six-inch heels, and I tower over every man – I’ve got this long hair and lots of clothes and make-up on."

Former Disney star Hilary Duff and Transamerica’s Kevin Zegers are in negotiations to play Bonnie and Clyde in the indie drama, The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.

The film is reportedly not a remake of the 1967 classic starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty (although Duff does look a ton like Dunaway and even did an Allure shoot paying homage to her in the iconic role in last year’s May issue) but a retelling of the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow.

Ummm, that’s what the original was too.

Here’s what kills us about actresses talking about their weight struggles: none of them are Oprah.

It’s true! None of them have ever ballooned over 200 pounds, and they rarely take their struggle public for anything but PR.

We love Anne Hathaway, but in this month’s Self she talks about the amount of weight she lost to appear in the movie The Devil Wears Prada, and, just like with Ali Larter whining in Allure, we’re annoyed.

Heroes star Ali Larter, 32, who most people remember as the ho who wore a whipped-cream bikini in 1999’s Varsity Blues, is Allure’s July cover girl.

The model-turned-actress and Jersey girl (bleeech, on both counts) talks about how she once had to have her thighs duct-taped before a photo shoot because “they were a little too round” and how she was once told to lose weight on a film.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
