I think this is the best interview I’ve ever seen come from Amanda. It’s down right hilarious. She talks about her “butt crack” scene in ‘Big Love’ and how her parents were sitting in the same room with her watching it and how she thought her boyfriend Dominic Cooper was gay.

This year there are two films based on Nicholas Sparks books hitting your local cinema. On Friday (February 4), fans can see Amanda Seyfried and Channing Tatum fall in love in “Dear John” and, come this March, Miley Cyrus will find love with Liam Hemsworth in “The Last Song.” So, are Seyfried and Tatum feeling a little competitive?

“If ‘The Last Song’ was coming out the same weekend as ‘Dear John,’ we’d have to collaborate on some sort of sabotage mission,” Seyfried joked.

But Tatum notes that there’s no reason for them to worry since the films are opening weeks apart, with “The Last Song” not hitting theaters until March 31. “No, not any more competition than all the rest of his movies coming out,” he said. “I think all his films are very, very separate from one another with one theme: love. We’re not competing for the same weekend.”

With that all cleared up, it seems obvious that fans will love “Dear John” for the same reasons they have flocked to the theaters for other Sparks films: The man knows a lot about love. “Look, he’s got, like, a magic wand when it comes to heartstrings,” Tatum said. “I think he’s a hopeless romantic himself and he just really loves writing about it in really sexy places and really sexy ways. Not to be cheesy or melodramatic — everyone wants to feel loved and that their love is special, and when they read about these once-in-a-lifetime sort of relationships and loves, it’s a great place to go away and escape.”

Amanda Seyfried has revealed that filming her sex scene with Channing Tatum in Dear John was not, as the French say, le comfortable.

“It was freezing and I was nervous and it was so technical. Lasse Hallstrom, the director, said he wanted it to be ‘groundbreaking’,” said the Mamma Mia! actress. “Channing and I were like, ‘What do you mean?’.

“And Lasse said, ‘You know, like you wouldn’t believe it’. If you ever got to watch a love scene being filmed you would have a great time because it’s hysterical,” said the 24-year-old.” There’s nothing sexy about it, but they make it look quite sexy in the editing room.”

Seyfried plays Savannah Curtis, a “buttoned up conservative” gal who falls for Channing Tatum’s John Tyre, a soldier who is on leave.

“My 13-year-old self would be screaming right now if she saw me kissing Channing,” Seyfried said. “When I was a teenager, I was dreaming about Justin Timberlake or Leonardo DiCaprio, who Channing has replaced as one of the sexiest men in movies.

“I’m sure a lot of girls are probably really jealous of me. It’s crazy. Being an actor is weird sometimes because you get used to making out with all these different people.”

That’s not the only love makin’ going on for the actress. Seyfried ups the ante in her upcoming film Chloe with Julianne Moore. She plays an escort girl who is hired by a wife, played by Moore, 49, to seduce her husband, played by Liam Neeson, who she suspects is cheating on her. Seyfried does ye olde lesbian kiss with Moore and shows off her naughty bits.

Allen High School grad Amanda Seyfried has landed on the cover of Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood edition.

The March issue, due out Tuesday, features Seyfried as part of a three-page pullout cover with other young actresses — Abbie Cornish, Carey Mulligan, Kristen Stewart, Evan Rachel Wood, Rebecca Hall, Anna Kendrick, Mia Wasikowska and Emma Stone. The photographer was the legendary Annie Leibovitz. The headline blares: ”A New Decade. A New Hollywood.”

This is the second time Seyfried has been on Vanity Fair’s cover. In August 2008, she was declared part of ”Hollywood’s New Wave” and appeared with Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively and Emma Roberts.

Seyfried stars in three movies opening over the next four months. The first, due out Friday, is ”Dear John,” a romance based on a Nicholas Sparks book about a college student who falls for a soldier.

Vanity Fair wrote of Seyfried:

”She was more dippy than mean in her 2004 film debut, ‘Mean Girls,’ announcing vacantly that her breasts could predict the weather. But it took a most unlikely confection — the movie musical ‘ Mamma Mia!’ — for the world to see Amanda Seyfried in her full, dewy, wide-eyed loveliness. Since then she has become the go-to girl for modern fairy tales, including Lasse Hallström’s ‘Dear John’ and the forthcoming ‘Letters to Juliet.’ But watch for a 180-degree turn in this month’s ‘Chloe,’ Atom Egoyan’s artsy sexual thriller, in which 24-year-old Seyfried plays the alluring, troubled complication in a failing marriage.”

Seyfried will be on ”Late Show with David Letterman” tonight to promote ”Dear John.”

Teen.comTV posted videos of Channing TatumF and Amanda answering fan mail on their youtube channel.

Amanda: Can you describe Channing in 5 words? Grounded, hysterical, unpredictable, punctual, and trustworthy.

Amanda: What’s your favorite book? Wally Lamb: I Know This Much Is True.

Amanda: What makes for a good on-screen kiss? Chemistry.

Amanda: Do you prefer acting in TV or movies? Movies because it’s more intense of course you only get to play this character for so long so you really gotta know your character in and out and have to be able to relate to them as much as possible so yeah it’s more of a challenge for sure. I mean you don’t get much time but the time you do spend working on these movies is pretty magical.

Amanda: If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be? A toasted sesame seed bagel with cream cheese and hot chocolate

There are three additional clips on their website you can view them here.

Amanda: Who is your favorite on-screen romantic couple of all time? Claire Danes & Leonardo Dicaprio (Romeo and Juliet)

Amanda: Dog or Cat? Dog, I have one that is an Australian Shepherd named Finn.

Amanda: Is it harder to do a film adapted from a novel or a musical? Musical, because you have to sing and dance and you have to lip sync.

Amanda: If you can buy one thing everyone to own on the planet, what would it be? A good book. Some classic novel.

Amanda: If you could star in any musical with any singer, who would it be? Josh Groban

It’s not word for but I tried my best!

I love to see some of my favorite actresses with Amanda in the March issue of Vanity Fair. Amanda has done an issue with Kristen Stewart before and Emma Stone replaced Amanda in her upcoming movie Marmaduke. I’m glad to see Anna Kendrick and Evan Rachel Wood on there too!

As if “The Notebook” didn’t already raise women’s romantic expectations high enough, now guys have to deal with “Dear John,” another romance flick based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, which features a more muscular, Abercrombie model-looking heartthrob in the male protagonist role.

Thanks, Hollywood.

Channing Tatum (or “Chan” as he introduced himself to me) plays John Tyree, a soldier who meets Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) when he jumps off a dock and into water to rescue her purse. The two instantly fall for each other and stay in touch when he’s away on duty by writing letters.

Like any other bitter male, I went into my interview with Tatum and Seyfried at their downtown hotel on Thursday hoping somewhat to find a flaw in Tatum. You know, so I could tell my female friends who swooned over him in the dancy-heavy “Step Up” films that he’s an arrogant jerk, a womanizer or, at the very least, a meathead.

Unfortunately, that plan backfired.

“Chan didn’t get much sleep last night because he’s working on a website devoted to expressing love,” said Seyfried, 24, who knitted a hat while answering questions alongside Tatum. “He’s reaching out to the public to share their love stories.”

Tatum, who married his “Step-Up” co-star, Jenna Dewan, is hoping to get the website, postthelove.com, done before “Dear John” hits theaters Feb. 5.

“You can put up a poem, a youtube video of yourself singing a song or a photo of yourself with ‘I love you’ written on your hand,” said Tatum, 29. “I don’t care what it is. I just want a venue for people to express themselves.”
