I am not a big fan of Hilary’s makeup. Or Juliette Lewis‘ faces. Or Minnie Driver’s dress.  Just sayin.

Hilary Swank divorced Chad Lowe back in 2006 after being married to him for nine years. But, she doesn’t feel that she failed in her marriage, it’s just the opposite. She says it was successful and that she can continue to have monogamous relationships.

She explained: “A lot of people look at divorce as a failure. I really look at my relationship with Chad as 14 years of success. I will carry him in my heart forever. He’s a part of me. Friends of mine and I talk about this. Does someone come into your life for a certain time, and then you are supposed to go your separate ways? There’s a part of me that thinks that’s true.

“There are friendships that we grow out of. But I believe in the long haul. I believe in having a monogamous relationship.”

That’s a definite adult approach to divorce. Good for her, it sounds like she’s got a good head on her shoulders.

Who was the worst dressed celeb this week? I think Kat Von D takes the cake, but there are definitely some good contenders! Hilary Swank’s neon pink dress is atrocious, and what is up with Katherine Heigl’s see-through sheet dress?

Hilary Swank, the star of the upcoming film based on the life of Amelia Earhart, graces the November 2009 cover of Marie Claire magazine, on newsstands October 13.

On people assuming she can get any role she wants because of her two Oscars:
“So not true. I really chase the things that I want. I don’t audition anymore, but I do go after things that I believe in. Someone will say, ‘Oh, I don’t see Hilary in that role because she’s not really that funny to me.’ So I’ll say that I want to sit down with them so that they meet the real person behind the characters. I usually get roles that are not the conventional beauty.”

On her way of relaxation:
“My relaxation has always been my animals—going to the dog park with them, going to the beach. I always try to carve out time in my day to be with them. On the last set I was on, I would just get a bike and ride around the studio with my dogs chasing me. It just gets me out of my head, you know what I mean?”

On people assuming she’s a loner:
“For a long time, I was a loner because [my ex-husband Chad Lowe] was my best friend, and we were really happy just hanging out, he and I. I think it was maybe five years ago that I realized how important my friends were to me, and I realized they were a big part of my letting go. When I got divorced three years ago, I needed them more than ever. I have really good girlfriends. Mariska Hargitay is my best friend.”
