Octavia Spencer, who won an Oscar for her role in The Help, stars in ELLE magazine’s November 2012 Women In Hollywood issue (on stands Oct 16th). She's joined by Emma Watson and Elle Fanning who are also featured on separate covers.
Inside, Octavia recalls a moment where she had to take a stand in Hollywood against a producer who bullied her.
“Early on I had to stand up to a producer – I won’t say who, but he is famous, famous. He dressed me down in a crowded office. I told him right there in front of a hundred people, ‘You don’t know me well enough to use that tone’…And then I ran to the bathroom and cried like a baby. But he never addressed me that way again. And he is known as a yeller.”
In the photo above, Octavia wears a Tadashi Shoji cocktail dress (her fave designer) with sheer details and a ring from Harry Winston.

She also revealed that, as she gets older, she doesn’t want to be on a timeline when it comes to finding Mr. Right.

Denzel Washington and wife of 29 years Pauletta look as in love as ever on vacation in Italy
Hollywood is renowned for its short marriages, with stars like Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears leaving their husbands just days... or even hours after tying the knot.
However, one of Tinseltown's biggest actors, Denzel Washington has managed a rare thing amongst his peers - a long and happy marriage.
The Oscar-winner, 57, and his wife Pauletta, 62, looked as in love as ever as they holiday in Portofino, Italy last week.
The couple, who have been married for 29 years and together since 1977, were laughing and joking as they chatted to locals and fellow holidaymakers in the Luguria fishing village.
After walking around the picturesque spot, they stopped by a restaurant for an alfresco dinner.
But with temperatures starting to drop as the autumnal weather draws in, the Training Day star wore a zip-up cardigan with a pair of jeans.
'It's a marathon, not a sprint': Denzel said he and Pauletta have had to work hard at their marriage
Following their meal, Denzel looked happy to sign autographs and pose for photos with fans.
Now their four children have grown up and with a gap in Denzel's busy acting career, the pair are revelling in their quality time together.
Their eldest son John, 28, is an American football player for the Sacramento Mountain Lions, while daughter Katia, 24, graduated from Yale in 2010.
Their twins Olivia and Malcolm, 21, are both thought to be at university as well.
Denzel and Pauletta met in 1977 while the actor was filming his first TV role in Wilma - which she was also starring in - and went on to marry in 1983.
In 1995, they renewed their wedding vows in South Africa with Archbishop Desmond Tutu officiating.
Talking about their long-lasting marriage with Oprah Winfrey in 2008, Denzel said: 'People who say they knew (if their spouse was the one) right away are lying! It's a marathon, not a sprint.'
He admits time apart with months spent away filming has probably helped their marriage rather than hinder it. He explained: 'Hollywood gets a bad rap; it's just a place with some footprints in cement. I don't live there, I live in Los Angeles. But it's probably helped our marriage that we're apart a lot.'

Nice Madea, Tyler Perry Gives Woman A New Vehicle, After Hers Is Stolen
Tyler Perry (who just announced that he was taking his creative talents to Oprah Winfrey's OWN) has been known to be a true giver. Close friends (and strangers for that matter) have shared that he often gives back and shows gratitutde for those that work with and for him. And recently, he gave back to a complete stranger.
According to reports, he donated a new vehicle to a Georgia woman with cerebral palsy after her specially-equipped van was stolen outside Atlanta. What motivated him? Perry told an Atlanta station that he decided to give Alicia Day a brand new van after he saw a news report about the theft this week. Authorities say Day's 2000 Chrysler Town and Country van was stolen from her Decatur driveway sometime Sunday night. Day, who uses a wheelchair, told WSB she prides herself on being independent and works part-time as a greeter at Home Depot. Her mother relied on the van to take Day to work and to doctor appointments. Day said "my mouth just dropped to the floor" when she learned Perry would give her a new van.
(How dope is that!!??) And in non-related news, Tyler is covering the November 2012 issue of Essence magazine.

Lil Kim Teams Up With Rihanna Producer
”Give me an inch I’ll take a yard/ Oh lighten up y’all know I was comin’ back real hard.”
Check out the above pic of Rap icon Lil Kim enjoying the company of record producer Verse Simmonds recently, shared with fans via the social networking site Twitter.
Verse, for those who don’t know, is most renown for the contributions his ‘Juggernauts’ played in producing Rihanna‘s provocative number ‘Man Down’, which featured on her 2010 LP ‘Loud’ and remixed by Kim for her polarizing ‘Black Friday‘ mix tape.
Prompting speculation that the pair are to collaborate, the shot was reportedly snapped in a recording studio weeks after the MC promised the release of new material to fans during New York Fashion Week.

The newly married NBA Baller Matt Barnes would like to apologize for dropping a few homophobic verbal bombs this summer-that were caught on tape. What happened? A few months ago, Matt was arrested (the cops and Matt had some past beef with each other) and was hella pissed. During his arrest, he was caught calling the arrested officier a 'f*gg*y' and a 'p***y'. Here's the clip:
WATCH:
The clip leaked earlier this week and Matt would like to apologize for his choice of words. He told TMZ:
"I would like to apologize for the unfortunate language I used. I know that certain words are extremely hurtful. I meant absolutely no disrespect to anyone. This comment, spoken in the heat of a difficult moment, does not accurately reflect my actual point of view."
What do you think of his apology–should we forgive him and move on?

Lolo Jones the Olympic hurdler sends 'offensive' tweet to paralyzed footballer who challenged her to a race
Olympic athlete Lolo Jones has become embroiled in further controversy after she told a paralyzed former football player to 'get checked for a concussion' because he had 'clearly been hit in the head'.
The hurdler joked about head injuries to former Rutgers player Eric LeGrand after he challenged her to a race on Twitter. What she didn’t know was the defensive tackle was paralyzed in an October 2010 game.
After LeGrand, 22, tweeted to Jones 'Want to race me?' on Tuesday night, she replied: 'Get Checked for a concussion. Clearly, u’ve been hit in the head... Cos u arnt beating a track athlete.'
Tragedy: Eric LeGrand was paralyzed during a game for Rutgers college in October 2010
When other users informed Jones of LeGrand’s injuries, she wrote: 'Great I’m gonna get murdered for that tweet. When I had no clue who that dude was. Just responding to any athlete who challenges me to a race.'
LeGrand tweeted that he understood what had happened and didn’t take it personally, saying: 'All good.'
As the incident continued to reverberate across social media on Wednesday, LeGrand later posted that the reaction was 'ridiculous'.
He wrote that 30-year-old Miss Jones is a 'great person who misunderstood what I tweeted. People stop bashing her it’s not right'.
Several of the tweets were later removed.
LeGrand broke two vertebrae and suffered a serious spinal cord injury on October 16, 2010, during a kickoff return.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, under former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, signed LeGrand as a symbolic gesture in May. He now works in broadcasting.
LeGrand’s Twitter bio describes him as a 'Defensive Tackle for Tampa Bay Buccaneers,' though the photo shows him in a wheelchair.
Jones wrote on Twitter that because she was viewing the page on her phone, the picture was too tiny to see clearly.
Jones finished fourth in the 100-meter hurdles at the London Olympics in August amid criticism that she receives more attention and endorsements than her results warrant.
Four years earlier in Beijing, the American came in as the favorite and was in position to win gold when she hit the ninth of 10 hurdles and wound up seventh.
Miss Jones was at the center of another Twitter storm earlier this year, when the 30-year-old hurdler announced that she was still a virgin on the micro-blogging site.
She also became embroiled in a nasty catfight with teammates during the Olympics after they suggested that their medal success was overshadowed by Jones because of the hype around her personal story and a nude photo-shoot for ESPN magazine in 2009.
Dawn Harper, 28, and Kellie Wells, 30, who finished second and third respectively in Olympic 100m women's hurdles final, spoke bitterly about Miss Jones, who finished in fourth place.
