Shakira fronts Glamour, talks about Rihanna and Adam Levine

Songstress and “The Voice” coach Shakira is on both the front and back covers of Glamour’s February “hair flip” issue (flip the magazine over and you get a mini-mag full of hair ideas). In an interview, Shakira says that working on a duet with Rihanna was “utopia,” while working with Adam Levine and other men on “The Voice” can be challenging: “I’ve learned I have to be a good sport.” [Glamour]

And Jessica Simpson is on the cover of Redbook’s February issue. She talks about dealing with the criticism she received for her weight gain during pregnancy: “I never listen to it, no matter who the press talks about when they’re pregnant. It’s ridiculous and unfair. I think any woman who is pregnant and creating a life is pretty much entitled to eat whatever she wants as long as she’s healthy. I wasn’t going to let the media take away from what was one of the happiest times in my life.” [Redbook]

Meanwhile, Mindy Kaling, who is on one of four alternate covers of February Elle, blows off questions about why her photo is a portrait while more is shown of the other three actresses who are pictured: “I love my @ELLEmagazine cover,” Kaling (who is reportedly a size 8) wrote Tuesday on Twitter. “It made me feel glamorous & cool. And if anyone wants to see more of my body, go on thirteen dates with me.” [Los Angeles Times]

Denizens of the fashion world including Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour, Cosmo Editor Joanna Coles; models Karen Elson, Karlie Kloss and Hilary Rhoda; and designers Nicole Miller, Cynthia Rowley and Zac Posen attended the Season 3 premiere of “Girls” on Monday night in New York — amid rumors that creator and star Lena Dunham will appear on Vogue’s February cover.
