V For Demi Moore

Demi Moore in V Magazine



Demi Moore is a typical mom who just happens to move in Hollywood circles.

"My normal day is, I get up with the kids, take them to school, a few days a week I might do Pilates, reading, meetings, and then we always do family dinner at 6:30," she tells the next issue of V Magazine, on stands Monday.

Moore, 45, has three daughters with ex-husband Bruce Willis: Rumer, 19, Scout, 16, and Tallulah Belle, 13.

The famous acting couple have remained friends and do many things together, including walking the red carpet for premieres and taking trips, along with Moore's husband of two years, Ashton Kutcher, 29.

"It wasn't a piece of cake" for everyone to get along, reveals Moore, who posed for celebrity photographer Mario Testino for the V cover story. "It wasn't automatic or easy. It took diligence and effort and even enduring awkwardness, and a lot of general giving on my part and Bruce's part. And really, tremendously, on Ashton's part. Coming into my life, Ashton just wasn't meeting somebody that had baggage. You know, I had trunks!"

Part of the motivation to make her particular family situation work: respect. "It's far more exhausting to be angry and blaming," she tells the magazine. "You can dig deep within yourself and really have a desire for someone else's happiness, which I feel I do have for Bruce and he has for me. He has a joy and appreciation for what Ashton and I share, and for how Ashton is with the girls."

As for dealing with the paparazzi since moving back to Los Angeles, the star of the crime drama Flawless (due in theaters in March) says it has been a challenge.

"When I first moved back to L.A., I had a very difficult time and found that I didn't want to leave the house so much," Moore says. "And then I started to feel, well, I don't want to be isolated and worried that if they're getting a photograph then I'm not going to go and do something. It's difficult when they hang out at the bottom of your street waiting for you to drive by."

That perspective explains her sympathy for some of today's young stars.

"No one has seen it worse than Britney Spears," she says. "How can anyone see that and think that's an OK way to expect anybody to live, no matter where they're at in their life?"

Amy Winehouse Sat Down With 'V' Magazine

British songstress Amy Winehouse sat down with 'V' magazine to talk about her career, the pressures of fame and her in-laws. Here are some highlights from the interview...

Amy on George Michael’s cannabis habit:
“George Michael just smokes a load of puff all the time, I don’t know if that’d be a good influence. I bet he’s really nice though.”

Amy on her sublime ballad with Prince, Love Is a Losing Game:
“He did such a long guitar solo I felt like I was in a Guns ‘N’ Roses video. The only thing missing was Slash smoking a fag in the rain.”

Amy on her promise to not to write a record about the (considerable, in her case) pressures of fame:
“Who wants to listen to an album about having the red tops [tabloids] camped outside your house?”

Amy on her in-laws’ accusations that her relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil is toxic and could lead to their demise:
“I think that was a bit extreme, really. But I love Blake so much—I’m a very lucky girl. I think my mum and dad and Blake’s mum and dad were just really worried about us. At first Blake’s parents couldn’t quite suss out whether my parents wanted the best for both of us or just me, and I’m sure my mum and dad were wondering the same. But Georgette, my mother in law, I love her so much. I’m just like her kid, you know.”

Amy on whether the beehive is all hers:
“Course it’s all real!”
