Asked & Told: Jodie's got no comment on Out's popsicles

Jodie Foster talks to EW.com about her new movie, The Brave One.

Out gets an actual question and answer in the mix:

Over the next two hours, there's only one subject that she firmly swats away. A recent Out magazine cover featured two models holding up pictures of her and Anderson Cooper's faces in front of their own, under the headline ''The Glass Closet: Why the Stars Won't Come Out and Play.'' When asked if she has any response, Foster says, ''Was that the one with the Popsicle sticks?'' Her thin lips tighten into a calm half smile of reproach: ''No, I have no response.''

Uh, but she thinks Uma Thurman is hot:

I wanted the fake tan in [Inside Man]. I wanted the Manolo Blahniks. You know the Louis Vuitton ad with Uma Thurman where she looks like the perfect Aryan total goddess with slick blond hair and all the jewelry and the lipstick? I took that in and said, ''I want to look like that, only I'm not her so I'm not going to be as pretty.''

Perfect Aryan goddess? Maybe Jodie's been spending a little too much time getting into the mind of Leni Riefenstahl. (If that rumor is still even any good, that is. No word on it I can find since May...)

The only thing that really intrigues me about her new film is how it's clear the "brave one" could have been -- or possibly was -- a role originally written for a man. Go girl, etc. Now show us you've got some brass ones!
