Chace Crawford, Penn Badgley and Ed Westwick are the new cover boys for Details Oct. 2008 issue. The teen idols from the CW hit show Gossip Girl were photographed by Steven Klein.

Some snippets from the"OMFG - IT'S THE GOSSIP BOYS" article, coutesy of Details Magazine:

CHACE

Chace is cheerfully reeling off the indictments against him. "Model turned actor, dime a dozen, eye candy, doesn't know what he's doing ... and Perez Hilton says I have 'gayface.' So on top of everything else, I have to overcome gayface."

Chace, whose demeanor is friendly and relaxed, says he loves his job. Good thing, since he, like all the principals, is under contract for another six seasons. "It never really gets frustrating," he says. "Sure, sometimes you just want to have a scene where you're drunk or having fun. I'm hoping for a fall from grace for Nate. Five years from now, I better have murdered someone!"

PENN

Penn, who's 21, is funny and articulate, if prone to the occasional conversational misfire that makes you want to hand him a rewind button. Example:

Penn on the paparazzi: Sometimes it's like, I wanna walk my dog, and I can't, because there might be photographers.

Me: You have a dog?

Penn: No. Everybody else does, though.

"People who don't know me that well often think I'm a bit of an asshole and take myself too seriously," he says

ED

That's me," he says. "Batman. I am Batman." He leans forward, liking the ring of it. "I am Batman."

"Secret identity?" I ask.

"Oh, yeah," he says.

"So who are you right now?"

He smirks. "Pure Bruce Wayne."

Carrie Underwood is the cover girl for Allure's October 2008 issue. She was photographed by Michael Thompson in Memphis. Famed art director Paul Cavaco of Keeble, Cavaco & Duka conceptualized the shoot and Diego da Silva did the hair.

You can see behind-the-scenes snapshots on the Allure website via this link. Some snippets from the accompanying interview, courtesy of Allure Magazine and Daily Stab blog.

On an unfaithful guy in her past:

“I don’t want to name names, even though he probably deserves it, but he fooled around,” she tells the magazine. “Oh, yeah, and lied! It was one of those things that everyone knew but me. He was a good liar. Nobody would come out and tell me. And he seemed perfect in every way.”

On splitting from Chace Crawford of “Gossip Girl”:

“We didn’t have a fight. No one cheated. It plain didn’t work.”

On how being famous makes dating harder:

“You never really know why somebody wants to be around you, or if they do genuinely like you,” Underwood — the winner of the fourth season of American Idol — tells Allure magazine in its September issue. “I wish everyone had a label on their forehead so you could automatically tell their intentions. Sometimes you just wish that no one wanted anything from you.”

On how her ex Tony Romo, who is currently dating Jessica Simpson, still calls her sometimes, but she doesn’t always pick up the phone:

“The phone will ring and it’ll be him, and I’ll maybe not answer. We were both small town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame.”
