Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, who recently turned into a sexy redhead (photos here), poses as a sexy surfer on the cover of the latest issue of Self Magazine (March 2010). The 20 year-old actress is determined to focus on enjoying life doing what she loves the most (save the whales!), claiming she will not turn into Lindsay Lohan a messed-up party girl.

Hayden has been really busy with a new project (a documentary titled “The Cove” about whale and dolphin slaying) and a new love (boxer boyfriend Waldimir Klitschko – photos here). Hayden believes she is making a difference (watch video below). She is a fantastic role model.

“The Vampire Diaries” star Nina Dobrev is one very stylish girl who confesses to make her own jewelry with antique silverware (what?) and be inspired by 19th century style. The 21 year-old had such a fresh and cool look that the show creators adapted her own personal style for her character. Funny! I always thought Elena had a fabulous fashion sense…

Here are some highlights from Nina Dobrev’s Self Magazine interview:

On being a leather lover: “The creators [of Vampire Diaries] adapted my personal style for Elena. We both wear KRMA leather jackets all the time.”

On making her own jewelry: “I was in a diner when my fork bent out of shape. So, I wore it as a bracelet! Now I look for antique silverware to make into jewelry.”

On taking inspiration from the 19th Century: “I also love fashion from the 1800s. The hoop skirts, the silk and velvet…they were breathtaking. Literally! I’ve learned that when I’m wearing a corset, breathing is a luxury.”

Super cute teen country sensation Taylor Swift is the new cover girl for the March 2009 issue of Self Magazine. Taylor talks about gifts, fans, being honest and the type of music she likes to hear when doing a photo shoot.

We heart Taylor! She is absolutely adorable, down to earth and super talented too. Here are some highlights from Taylor Swift’s Self Magazine interview:

On her birthday presents: “They’re all giving me things because it’s my birthday. These are the coolest shoes ever! (of the new Christian Louboutin’s SELF gave as a birthday gift). And he (Ken Paves) gave me bangs. Bangs and heels…best birthday ever!”

On her fan-friends: “If I sign an autograph for someone, I don’t put them in the category of ‘fan’ and keep them at arm’s length. If we strike up a conversation and we like the same things and we have the same sense of humor, then they’re my friend. It doesn’t matter how I met them. The people who go to my MySpace page are the people who make me happiest. That’s why I like to make videos for them. I like to thank them as much as possible. And when they come to my shows, I like to give them hugs.”

On being honest and truthful: “I don’t think honesty is ever something you should regret. I figure if I’m going to cover things up and try to hide the way I feel and try to be perfect all the time, people are going to see through that. And also, if you’re trying to change yourself all the time to adapt to what you think you should be, you’re going to run out of the things to be after a while.”

On her photo shoot playlist: “I made a playlist for the photo shoot because you always have to have really cool dance music and music with a really awesome beat to it. You need to be in the right energy and mood so I made a playlist that I am very, very proud of. I left my iPod at home, so we had to makeshift one, all the necessities. Jesse McCartney, Justin Timberlake—both are absolutely pivotal to the success of a photo shoot. Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, Beyonce—very, very necessary. It’s a pretty good playlist. They are so good that you can listen to them over and over. You can’t do a photo shoot without music.”
