After three years' worth of "Twilight" films and comparatively few sightings of the saga's supporting actors in the wild, it's sometimes easy to forget that Ashley Greene is not actually a red-eyed, mop-haired, clairvoyant member of the undead. But here's a good reminder that the actress who plays Alice Cullen is, in real life, a grade-A hottie and generally normal human being: She's Allure magazine's November cover girl! And inside, she offers up a few choice quotes about her early years in Hollywood, her "Twilight" co-star and whether or not she really and truly is feuding with Demi Lovato.
The answer to that last one, by the way, is absolutely not.
"I’m really happy that she’s doing well," Ashley said, explaining that the rumored angst between her and the Disney star was all just a bunch of media hooey. "She and I never had a problem with each other, but, you know, it doesn’t go away... Jen Aniston still gets asked about Angelina Jolie."
Yep, that's pretty much Hollywood Life Lesson No. 1: The media loves a good catfight, even if they've got to invent one. And we get the sense from Ashley's comments that she's made her share of rookie mistakes as an up-and-coming star.
"I was out until 2 a.m., and I was gaining weight, it wasn’t anything crazy, but there was a certain point when I realized I wasn’t booking," she admitted. "I was photographed coming out of clubs a lot, and my mom made a comment like, 'Wow, is that really what you want to be known for?'"
And then, of course, there was that whole "naked picture" thing. But in this case, apparently, there was no nay-saying from Ashley's mom—or anyone else in her family, for that matter.
Said Ashley, "One of my family members said to me, 'Ashley, everyone does it. You’re just famous."
Hey, that's a good one! Remind us to try that the next time we find ourselves in a pickle. "You don't understand, Officer—we're just FAMOUS."
