Boulder’s babelicious movie star Jessica Biel is on the cover of February’s Vogue, promoting her upcoming movie “Valentine’s Day” and talking about The Real Biel. There was the time she posed near-naked in Gear magazine when she was 17. That got her off the fourth season of “7th Heaven” and shocked more than a few people.
“It was totally embarrassing,” she says. “I had to apologize to everybody, including my parents. It was a big learning experience — learning how to have boundaries, and how to say no.”
“Valentine’s Day” is a rom-com with Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway and Julia Roberts — making it a chick flick that even I’d go see.
Biel, 27, is looking for some dramatic roles and laments that Hollywood only makes “commercial movies, horror movies, big romantic comedies and action movies.” She should know, having starred in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.”
“Those can be great, but you don’t want to do only those kinds of films,” she says. “You can’t live on eclairs alone. You have to have a spinach salad every now and again.”
Biel was in town three years ago and put herself up for auction at a fundraiser for Molly Bloom, the teen who lost a leg in a prom-night limo accident. A guy bought lunch with her at the Palm for $30,000, and another guy matched the offer for dinner with Biel at Elway’s. She continues to be active with her dad, Jon, in the Colorado-based charity Make the Difference Network.
Storey book.
Crested Butte’s breakout singer Nina Storey writes her fans with the news she’ll be at Nissi’s in Lafayette tonight, and then she’s headed to the Sundance Film Festival to play five venues in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 27-30.

Gregg is Brett.
They call Gregg Moss the Brett Favre of TV, except, as a Facebook friend points out, he always goes back to the same team.
Moss confirmed to me via e-mail Friday that he is returning to the 9News Morning Show from 5 to 9 a.m. Mondays-Fridays. The popular biz reporter has left the station a few times in the past, the most recent sign-off was last summer to take a position at Alem International Management, a marketing and event-planning company. He’s going to keep that job and add the 9News gig. And I think he has another job too. I’m tired just writing that.
