Zayn, one of the original members of One Direction, covers the new issue of Billboard magazine. The 24-year-old cutie has already topped the charts as a solo artist with his debut album ('Mind of Mine') and single ("Pillowtalk"), and he opens up to the publication about his sophomore album and overcoming the anxiety which has prevented him from touring.

On His Sophomore Album:
"I think I’m like 90 percent of the way there. But I’m still working on stuff and trying to decide what goes on the album and what comes off."

On Touring:
"It definitely helped identify in my own mind where I want to be as an entertainer. For a long time I’ve struggled with, 'Where is Zayn as a performer?' I don’t want [my show] to be too eccentric or out there, because I’m not that kind of ­personality. I’m quite a reserved person, and I feel like [the vibe] sort of fits me and what I want to do onstage."

On Being Misunderstood:
"I don’t do things that I wouldn't buy into. I try to explain that to people and hope that they understand -- it doesn't come from a place of being arrogant or above anything."

On His Supermodel Girlfriend Gigi Hadid:
"It’s actually not that hard for us. It helps that she’s really organized. Thank God! Because I’m really not, so she helps organize my ­schedule around seeing her."

J-Rod bring the heat on Vanity Fair!!!

In their first photo shoot as a couple, Jennifer Lopez and her beau Alex Rodriguez bring their power couple status and glamorous life to the magazine's December issue, where they dish on their awkward first date, why they feel like they are kindred spirits and why they work better as a couple now than if they had pursued each other before.

On Their First Date
Lopez: "He was sitting there in his white shirt, very confident and manly, but then he was just so talkative! I think he thought I was going to be this loud person, but I'm not. I just listen. So he’s talking, talking about his plans, about how he had just retired from baseball, about how he saw himself getting married again, all these things you wouldn’t normally talk about on a first date. I don't know if he thought it was a date. I thought it was a date."

Rodriguez: "She told me around the third or fourth inning that she was single. I had to get up and go re-adjust my thoughts. I went to the bathroom and got enough courage to send her a text … 'You look sexy AF' "

On Being Kindred Spirits
Rodriguez: "We are very much twins. We're both Leos; we're both from New York; we're both Latino and about 20 other things."

Lopez: "I understand him in a way that I don’t think anyone else could, and he understands me in a way that no one else could ever. In his 20s, he came into big success with the biggest baseball contract [at the time]. I had a No. 1 movie and a No. 1 album and made history. We both had ups and downs and challenges in our 30s, and by our 40s we'd both been through so much. And more importantly than anything, we had both done a lot of work on ourselves."

On Why They Wouldn't Have Worked Years Ago
Lopez: "We had to grow and discover ourselves first. A lot of people I've met in my life, they don’t appreciate what they’re doing and how amazing it is … not the greatness of the house, but the moment of sitting there with someone you love, with a family, with healthy kids."

Rolling Stone magazine is hailing Cardi B as the breakout star of 2017, and the rap siren covers the publication's Hot Issue, where she dishes on her upcoming debut album (which she has yet to complete), the pressures of fame and love. Read excerpts below:

On Her Debut Album: "I got six, seven solid songs that I like. But I wonder if a month from now, I’m going to change my mind. She added: “It’s not as fun to do music. My mind doesn’t flow as free ’cause I have so much on my mind."

On Fame: "I cannot turn my life back around. I’m already a public figure, I’m famous. … It’s like, I might as well keep it going, might as well make the money. People are always going to talk shit — I cannot make myself unfamous."

On the State of Rap: "It’s so sad to say, and I don’t want to be the one to say it, but you gotta follow the trend. This generation loves to get high. They love to be on drugs. This is why they on that shit: They don’t want to think about what you’re saying."

On Fiancee Offset: "We polish each other. I could always ask him, ‘Do you think this is OK to do? Do you think I’m getting tricked?'"

Continuing her usual slayage, Rihanna plays rule breaker for the March issue of PAPER magazine, which marks her first time covering the magazine in nearly a decade with her latest cover coming for her third album back in August 2007. See more pics from her bold shoot below:

Fresh off her Golden Globe win in January, Tracee Ellis Ross graces the April issue of Health magazine, and dishes on confidence and how the love for her body has grown as she ages.

"I love my butt in a way I didn’t growing up," she tells magazine, which is current on newsstands. "I really didn’t like it growing up. It was so much bigger than everyone else’s, and I wanted jeans to look the way they did on everyone else, and mine didn’t."

"I’ve been — to a certain extent — at odds with my body for many years, wanting it to be something other than it was, wanting myself to be something other than I was."

"The comfort in my skin is so much better," she says. "I spent so much of my life, culturally, seeing myself through others because I just didn’t always have the confidence to look at the world through my own eyes. As opposed to the ‘shoulds.’ " Now, the 44-year-old does two big things for her body: “One, talk nice to it. And two, find workouts that make me feel good.”

For the second consecutive year, Vanity Fair celebrates the most compelling, powerful, and talented women in the business with their Hollywood Issue, and some of the actresses featured on the cover include Academy Award winners Lupita Nyong’o and Natalie Portman, five-time nominee Amy Adams and two-time nominee Emma Stone.

Shot by celebrated photographer Annie Leibovitz, the full lineup of actresses also includes Ruth Negga, who is among this year's Best Actress nominees, sisters Elle Fanning and Dakota Fanning, Dakota Johnson, Greta Gerwig, Aja Naomi King and Janelle Monáe.

Academy Award-nominee Taraji P. Henson, Academy Award-winner Octavia Spencer and Grammy-nominated music star Janelle Monáe, the incredibly talented cast of 'Hidden Figures', regally grace the February issue of Essence magazine.

The film, which is playing in select cities now, tells the untold story of three black women's groundbreaking efforts to send the first Americans into space in the 1960s. The women, also known as NASA's "colored computers", broke down racial and gender barriers.

Henson, who plays lead mathematician Katherine Johnson, told the magazine what it meant to her to portray her character. "When I was growing up, people told me out of their mouths math and science are for boys," she told the publication. "Like, no one showed me how to fall in love with numbers. If I had a teacher like Mrs. Johnson, who knows, I might be on the moon."
