Kerry Washington Covers Marie Claire, Talks Private Life, Olivia Pope, And Not Feeling Pretty

Kerry Washington Covers Marie Claire Magazine Scandal star Kerry Washington is front-and-center on the latest issue of Marie Claire. In her interview she speaks about her respect for Shonda Rhimes, how she didn’t grow up thinking she was pretty, and how she protects her private life. Take a look below. Kerry Washington on privacy: “Earlier in my career I was much more super-sharey. There were moments when I wanted to process things that were happening to me more privately, and I didn’t have the space to do it, because once you let people in, they’re in and you don’t get to say, ‘Oh, I want this for myself.’” On collaborating with Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes: “I’m very respectful of Shonda’s vision of who Olivia [Pope] is, but she has said that she is informed by the choices I make. If we were waltzing, she’s definitely leading. And she picked the song, and she probably dressed us, but it is a waltz.” On growing up: “I didn’t grow up thinking I was pretty; there was always a prettier girl than me. So I learned to be smart and tried to be funny and develop the inside of me, because I felt like that’s what I had.” Whatever physical beauty Kerry thought she was missing as a teen certainly caught up to her in adulthood… Images via TESH/Marie Claire

Britney Spears to Dump Jason Trawick … as Conservator?

Britney Spears thinks having her fiance, Jason Trawick, as her co-conservator is a total buzzkill for their relationship and wants him gone ASAP, reports say. In that role, he is in charge of her finances and other decisions; the singer has been under the legal conservatorship since melting down in early 2008. “Britney wants Jason removed. He was appointed to the position when she joined The X Factor so that he could be with her at all times while on set,” a source says. “The relationship has been more than slightly rocky in the past few months and Brit attributes that to having her man essentially being one of her babysitters.” “It has killed the romance in the relationship, and she wants to get it back.” Britney split rumors have run rampant in recent months, and this is a big reason why. The legal and business aspect of their relationship has taken over. “Jason is co-conservator of Spears as a person, meaning he controls who she sees, where she goes, etc. Her father has had that role since day one.” “She thinks it should be [Jamie Spears] and only him, and not Jason anymore. Jason is in full agreement and supports her decision,” the insider added. Is a breakup imminent ? That’s unclear, but things have been rocky. “Britney and Jason had planned to get married at the end of December, but they have been fighting non-stop, so the wedding has now been called off.” Things have become so strained between the couple that they were forced to cancel their planned wedding as they struggle to work through their issues. “They are telling their friends it’s being postponed, but they will probably never make it down the aisle. Britney doesn’t think Jason is any fun.” She resents that he acts more like a “second father” than a romantic partner, or equal. For his part, “Jason feels like he is Britney’s babysitter, and it’s pretty much just a business arrangement at this point. Jason does love Britney and the boys.” “He just can’t see himself spending the rest of his life with her.” Meanwhile, as they work out if they have any chance of a future together, one thing they are both agreed on is Jason Trawick quitting the conservator role. “Jason has been talking it over with Jamie and Lynne Spears, and he just wants to get his and Britney’s relationship back on track.” “He doesn’t want to be her babysitter, he just wants to be her fiance.” Tell us what you think … Britney and Jason: Will it last?   Yes! He’s perfect for her and her kids. No, I just don’t see the connection. View Poll »

Allyn Rose, Miss America Hopeful, Speaks on Planned Double Mastectomy

Allyn Rose will participate tomorrow night in the Miss America pageant. Win or lose, however, the Miss DC has a far more important agenda to take care of following the event: she is scheduled to undergo a double mastectomy. The 24-year old is doing so as a preventive measure to reduce her odds of developing the disease that took her mother, grandmother and great aunt. “My mom would have given up every part of her body to be here for me, to watch me in the pageant,” Rose said Wednesday. “If there’s something that I can do to be proactive, it might hurt my body, it might hurt my physical beauty, but I’m going to be alive.” The University of Maryland student plans to show off her roller skating talents during the annual event and then heed the advice of her father, who broached this idea two years after his wife passed. Rose’s mother was first diagnosed with cancer at the age of 27 and Allyn – who does NOT carry the “breast cancer genes” BRCA1 and BRCA2 – says she doesn’t want to wait to find out if she’ll follow tragic suit. If she wins tomorrow, she hopes to serve as a role model. “I’ve been thinking how powerful that might be to have a Miss America say, ‘I might be Miss America but I’m still going to have surgery. I’m going to take control of my own life, my own health care.’ So I guess it’s up to what happens on Saturday night.”
