15 famous friends & former cover stars toast BlackBook's 15th.

To say that Juliette Lewis and I have a past might be correct, but it wouldn't be accurate. Sure, I've caught her rock act four times now, reviewed it twice, and underwent all kinds of maybes before I interviewed her by phone for two different publications. And yes, I'm a longtime fan of her film work. But for two people to have a past, both have to know about it. And until last Thursday, it's highly unlikely that Juliette Lewis even knew I existed, let alone imagined a backstory that comprised spilled drinks, stunned silence, a stilled heart, and more superlatives per column-inch than any Thesaurus. So when I got the nod to meet with the blinding and bewildering star of stage and screen before she and her merry band of mayhem-makers opened for the Dolphins/Bears up at Sun-Life Stadium, I jumped at the chance to add to that past - and to clue her into it in the process.

For anyone who's never had the opportunity to be on either side of the velvet rope at a red carpet, lucky you. Doing the red carpet—whether you're conducting the interview or answering the question— has a tendency to be at once boring and unnerving. Basically, you don't want to be asking folks the same questions the person next to you will ask. As the star, you are forced to listen to yourself answering the same question repeatedly to interviewers who are all perched side-by-side like open-mouthed baby birds. Here's a video of our girl Juliette Lewis and our boy Alexander Skarsgård as they dole out some classic stock answers while repping their animated movie—the dark, dystopian Metropia at the Tribeca Film Festival. Enjoy! (Or don't.)

If you caught our interview with Juliette Lewis, you saw her incarnate famous rebels like Mick Jagger, Bonnie Parker, Bettie Page, and Coco Chanel.

● Jose Canseco doesn’t approve of former flame Madonna dating a 22-year old model. “Oh my god! Doesn't she realize she is 60 years old?” he exclaimed. Madonna’s response: "Jose who?" [NBC] ● Emily Blunt is out of consideration for the villain role in Iron Man 2. Blunt was to play the Black Widow, but due to her contract at Fox, she is forced instead to be in Gulliver’s Travels film with Jack Black. Demotion! [Filmonic] ● Juliette Lewis -- sometime actress, full-time singer -- has ditched her old band The Licks for a new one she’s dubbed The New Romantiques. Look for her/them at SXSW. [NME]

Get ready for an influx of flesh this fall. From exposed bras, to hot pants and transparent tops, fashion seems to be embracing the "less is more" philosophy more and more. While flesh-baring tops have been around for some time, "exposed underwear are an entirely new development," says Style.com (that is, if you discount stick-thin, style-setters like Edie Sedgwick, Kate Moss, and Sienna Miller, who have all sported undies as outerwear). While the trend took root during SS09 Fashion Weeks both in NYC and Europe, it's spread among socialites and boldface partygoers (not to mention the street).
