Olivia Wilde covers the September issue of Canada’s Fashion magazine, and she’s still making good as one half of the “oversharing couple” alongside fiancé Jason Sudeikis. Sudekis recently told Elle that their sex life meant that he had “the greatest workout partner ever.” This was after Wilde claimed they “have sex like Kenyan marathon runners.” Of course, if you stop to consider that Kenyans are famous for running marathons in very short times, maybe that metaphor isn’t exactly what Olivia and Jason had in mind.
This photoshoot is kind of weird, and I guess it’s a zoo theme (?) because I see a peacock/zebra/leopard motif going on. The interview sort of makes up for it with some amusing excerpts. Once again, Olivia is rambling about how amazing Jason is (although she’s not directly fretting about whether he’ll stop loving her this time around), but she also talks about playing Chris Hemworth’s wife in Rush. (I’m sure Elsa Pataky just loved that.) In addition, Livvy drops some weird talk about how much she supposedly adores Marchesa, which makes me wonder exactly which Weinstein Co. role she’s gunning for. Because nobody in their right mind truly loves Marchesa designs:
Jason is such an unreachable talent: “His skill level is so high. I really have learned a lot from him, especially when it comes to being bold and taking risks as an actor within a role. Comedians are so great about trying things, like doing seven takes in seven different ways and really not being afraid to stumble.”
The usual “moving on after divorce” talk: “It’s really hard to jump into a relationship after you feel you’ve been through a difficult time. I liken it to a burn victim jumping back into a Jacuzzi. It took a lot of coaxing.”
She’s playing Chris Hemsworth’s wife in Rush: “I play Suzy Miller–who was James Hunt’s first wife. Suzy ended up leaving [James] for Richard Burton–who left Elizabeth Taylor for Suzy. My job in the film was to tell the story of James’s tumultuous marriage, which was very Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? messy… I got to wear archive Gucci head to toe through the movie!”
She’s either smoking crack or kissing Harvey Weinstein’s ass: “People remember what you wear. At the Golden Globes in 2010, I wore a brown Marchesa ball gown that people still stop me on the street to ask me about–which I think is so funny. I never thought I’d be recognized for a dress. [Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig] really understand my body and I love when they take risks. I think they’re one of the more adventurous design teams.”

In confusion, I actually had to dig back into our photo agency archives for the Marchesa gown that Olivia claims to be recognized for, and she got the Globes year wrong — it was 2011, which threw me off for a few minutes. But here is the gown that people supposedly want to talk about with her on the street.
She’s so full of it, right? Not only is this dress a Marchesa confection, but it’s an utterly forgettable one at that. Although I do hope Olivia gets her movie role from Harvey because she just put on one hell of a performance in this interview. Bra-vo.

Her insecurities are showing big time!!
Note to Olivia: Most of us don’t give two shits about Jason! You can shut up now.
Again, she’s talking about her divorce. Hasn’t she thrown her Ex under the bus enough times?
She is annoying. She and Jason are so meh.
agree!!!
Iggles, I don’t think she’s insecure at all.
I think she’s one of those women who somehow learnt that by playing up their insecurities, they get extra sympathy.
And all their talk about having great sex… yeah, they either have the sexual history and abilities of a first timer or they’re not having sex, at all. They gush WAY too much.
“New strategy, needed in Olivialand… new strategy in Olivialand, please”
I actually love that Marchesa dress – how often do we see a proper princess ballgown, esp one that is not in white, nude or red? I remembered right away which dress this was – tho I’d say OW’s best look was the white Reem Acra from a couple of years before that Marchesa.
Also that photoshoot is gorgeous. She has amazing eyes.
I love the second photo.
Her RUSH blurb was a little deficient in CHemboy.
That must be why I am so lightheaded.
We don’t see proper princess ball gowns because we’ve moved on from the 80’s.
And thus I am sad.
I absolutely adored that dress too! It’s without a doubt her most memorable “fashion moment” so it actually doesn’t surprise me that people ask her about it.
*whispers* And I actually rather like her too, even though she is hated on this site. I just think she’s one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood and I enjoyed her in most of the films I’ve seen her in. Plus anyone who was on O.C gets a bit of a free pass from me 🙂
I wont tell anyone 🙂 And I also think she is gorgeous (in the face), tho I am ambivalent re: her acting.
(whispers) I’m here with you… I really like her, she is gorgeous.
I really like her and I think she looks AMAZING in this photoshoot. Her face is incredible.
I really liked another Marchesa dress she wore back in 2009 at the Emmys. It looked very light, as if it was floating on her body. It really showcased her back. I think she really works her body type.
Her eyes are amazing…such a natural beauty. She looks gorgeous all made up, or on the beach without makeup.
I don’t think the dress is all that, but it’s definitely better than many of the designs Marchesa puts out.
I do wonder, though, do you get a choice when you’re up for a Weinstein movie? Casting couch or Marchesa?
I can’t figure out for the life of me why this woman is on so many magazine covers. She is very pretty. But…has she ever made a film that didn’t bomb at the box office? I feel like I’m supposed to think she’s a huge star and I can’t figure out why.
Hollywood is still desperate to make her happen.
Like a burn victim jumping back into a Jacuzzi? WTH is wrong with this woman? She sounds dumb as a doornail. And Jason’s skill level is so high? She’s smoking something.
What did that even mean??? She sounds sooooo dumb.
…cuz Jason is the first actor to ever do “seven takes in seven different ways”, didn’t you know? O_o
She sounds dumb, like she just discovered real acting or something.
I wanted to comment on the same thing.. what was she thinking? (was she even thinking..?)
she annoys me, so very much..
Like I want to punch a WALL right now.
You know how everyone around here has a conniption when they read a GOOP interview? That’s how I feel about Olivia. She is my GOOP.
Hahahahah @TheOriginalKitten!! Same here!
The sad thing is that I know from personal experience that she IS into deep and consequential subject matters and takes charitable actions that she doesn’t broadcast…
…I just don’t know why this is the personality she presents to magazines. Is it editing or does she try to present a fluffier version of herself?
@ Tiffany
So interesting that you say that…I often wonder about the “real” personalities/thoughts/interests of these celebrities. I feel like most of the time they are selling us on the product, which is usually what their PR machines are pushing on us.
I don’t remember which of you said it, Kaiser or Bedhead, but it was for pics from the Vanity Fair Oscar party from either last year or the year before-I seem to remember the Boz draped all over her weird looking fiancé, Michael Polish on the red carpet….but one of you called Olivia “Boring McSnooze”..she is.
There is absolutely nothing interesting about this woman. Her clothes aren’t all that interesting, her interviews aren’t all that interesting-it gets a little boring when one can ONLY talk about their significant other in what is supposed to be an intelligent, adult conversation, she’s not that pretty to me anymore, although I do love her eyes, because she’s so freaking boring. Nothing interesting or self aware ever comes out of this woman’s mouth-that I’ve heard. Her ex must’ve thrown a block party when they got divorced because living with her (and, I suspect Sudeikis has an ego that she likes/tries to stroke constantly) must’ve been rough.
comeoooooon…..celebrities are not supposed to be smart, or not-shallow, or interesting. We all come on this site do observe some circus, not to actually read something meaningful, dont we?)))
thats why i dont understand when ppl complain))))
Part of an actor’s job is promotion. They have to sell this movie to you. I agree that they aren’t obligated to talk about their personal lives, but they need to talk about the movie. That means doing it in an interesting way, so that people will want to go see it. She’s boring and has nothing intelligent to say about her films, let alone her love life.
they deserve each other and to be pushed out to sea on a raft so we can stop hearing about their love
I was going to say we should put them in a rocketship and launch them into a black hole but your idea sounds more cost-effective.
And then they can devote themselves fully to their love!
Win. Win.
and the weird thing is that they dont seem to have any chemistry when being photographed together
That cover is so creepy..what’s going on with her eye?
the photoshop of the death!
one dimensional and a box of rocks for a brain.
wth is she going to talk about when her relationship with jason sujerkis is over? her burned up vagina being free to get into the hot tub of life? wearing marchesa for a kenyan marathon? her analogies and platitudes hurt my head.
Oh boy. For her sake I hope she has a good support system. The inevitable comedown from the honeymoon phase and breakup is not going to be pretty.
She’s attractive, but those photos look photoshopped to the max.
I keep going back to how the Kenyan runners and dead vagina comment was for a comedy Vagina Monologues kind of thing, so I think it’s hilarious people keep bringing it up like it was in an interview. That dress (but more specifically the shoes) is one of my fave looks on her. The makeup and hair was rough, though. Buuuuut I’m a fan of hers in general, so don’t listen to me.
(I’m so sick of hearing about Jason, though. I JUST DON’T GET IT.)
She later repeated those exact words in an interview (to vulture I think).
CDAN claims that Jason banned January Jones’s name from being mentioned on his recent press tour. I don’t know if it’s true, but it sounds like something he would do.
Maybe he feels guilty. Xander does bear a resemblance to him.
Bedhead,
Was it you that wrote:
“She’s either smoking crack or kissing Harvey Weinstein’s ass:”
Or is that from the mag?
When Olivia Wilde’s career is finally over (very soon my friends) all that will be left of her is a pile of Marchesa tulle and sequins with a dash of Sudekis sweat.
“I liken it to a burn victim jumping back into a Jacuzzi. It took a lot of coaxing.”
What a disgusting comment. Idiotic and insensitive. Go through being disfigured by a fire and all the painful grafting procedures, long hospital stays in the burn ward, and then have someone make a stupid analogy about divorce and regarding a burn victim getting into a Jacuzzi and it takes coaxing. Seriously, Olivia? Go get a hobby and stop giving interviews.
“Of course, if you stop to consider that Kenyans are famous for running marathons in very short times, maybe that metaphor isn’t exactly what Olivia and Jason had in mind.”
Ha! That made me giggle.
They gave her a completely new nose for the cover. The ‘touch-up’ is ridiculous. She looks nothing like herself.
Abominable.
Agree! She looks nothing like herself, I’d never have known who it was if the name wasn’t in the title of the story.
Pssst!! No one actually buys Fashion Magazine — they give it away free and you can usually find it at the dentist office.
I remember that dress! It was featured on many magazine spreads afterwards
I’ve never liked her.
I don’t know. She’s kind of growing on me. She’s a ballsy lady who is proving to be more than just a pretty face.
