Here is Amanda Seyfried’s spread in April’s Esquire Magazine – she’s one of their “Women We Love”. As for me, I don’t love Amanda. I don’t hate her either. I go back and forth between thinking she’s a cutie with a long career ahead of her, or she’s just a pretty moron who won’t be getting parts very much longer. I really don’t know. In LaineyGossip’s Oscar wrap-up, they mentioned that Amanda was kind a big fail at red carpet interviews. Apparently, when Ryan Seacrest asked why she was leaving Big Love, she told him “I wasn’t working as much as I wanted to, so…” So? You’re a working actress on an acclaimed show! Produced by Tom Hanks! You think she could manage to not sound so snotty?
I hate to say it, but Amanda didn’t come across very well in the short Esquire interview either. Of course, the dude writing about her was about to rub one out (seriously, read the whole piece), so maybe Amanda was creeped out:
Amanda on her diet: “”I’m on a raw-food diet,” she declares, raising her brows to make her eyes even bigger. “It’s intense. And sort of awful. Yesterday for lunch? Spinach. Just spinach. Spinach and some seeds.”
On getting her Australian shepherd puppy: “It’s so predictable. I just left him and I already want to run back and see him. Most of the time I just want to go home and throw the dog a stick. Can anything be more obvious than throwing a stick? I need to be needed. I understand that the need is never with the dog.”
On what kind of girl she is: “I would always tell somebody if they had sh-t on their face. Especially if it’s really feces. Well, I’m a BFF. I play a BFF. It’s what I do. I have an actual necklace from Jennifer’s Body that says BFF. That’s my role right there.”
On moving from Los Angeles to New York: “I sacrificed six years in L. A. I did my job out here. I made the contacts and did the work I had to do. But I came here at eighteen. I’m out of here at twenty-four, and I feel lucky it wasn’t longer.”
On photography: “I learned a long time ago that photographs are not theater. This is not acting. It’s pretending. I pretend I’m looking at a man who is looking right at me, a man who sees me as exceptionally clever and adventurous.”

Once again, could she try not to sound so snotty? “I sacrificed six years in L. A…” Really? Being a working actress in a sea of thousands of girls who would kill to have a fraction of your workload is a “sacrifice”?
The girl’s got a terrific figure though. I’ll give her that.
