Demi Moore’s looks may be the source of constant comment, but in her own mind, they’re sometimes a source of anxiety.

“Look, I would be lying if I said I don’t have moments of panic when I look in the mirror and see things creeping in that weren’t there before,” Moore, 45, tells Harper’s Bazaar for its April issue, about getting older. “But now I stop, and instead of focusing on my flaws, I think about all that I have in my life.”

Those rewards are not only tangible, she says, but human: “I have a wonderful marriage, I have three wonderful daughters, I have an incredible extended family, and I have loving, wonderful friends.”

As a result, she says, “when I look back in the mirror, the reflection I see isn’t so bad, because I’m seeing the beauty of my whole being and my whole life.”

Kutcher’s Introduction
In their first family portrait for a magazine, Moore’s daughters by former husband Bruce Willis – Rumer, 19, Scout 16, and Tallulah, 14 – also ring in with their observations on mom and her life with stepdad Ashton Kutcher, 30, who has been with Moore for the past five years.

In terms of initially bringing Kutcher home (in addition to her girls, Moore’s house in Los Angeles includes three Chihuahuas and an elderly mutt named Wonka), Moore admits, “I didn’t bring somebody into their lives lightly. … Being with me isn’t about just being in a relationship with me; it’s about someone stepping into a situation where there is already a huge level of responsibility.”

And the age difference between them? “People made such a fuss about it, you would have thought the world had never seen it before,” says Moore. “Age wasn’t what I was thinking about, but to the rest of the world it was a very big deal.”

Insofar as her initial reaction to Kutcher’s being beside her mom, Tallulah says: “I was in fourth grade, so it didn’t hit me as much as it did Scout and Rumer. But it still hit me a little, and it still does now. I find it weird that people think my stepdad is hot.”

Scout also notices another change that overtook her mother – ever since Moore took up studying Kabbalah. “She has always moved from religion to religion according to the stages in her life,” says the teen. “Kabbalah is the one she has stuck with the most. I respect that she and Ashton are doing it.”

Another Kabbalah proponent, Madonna, is cited by Moore as one of her personal role models, as is Maya Angelou, Katharine Hepburn, Susan Sarandon, Coco Chanel, Oprah Winfrey, Mother Teresa – and her own grandmother.

Ashton Speaks Up
Kutcher is heard from, too. “At first, I didn’t know how it was all going to play out, but everything fell into place,” he says of having an instant family. “We all support each other. I’m occasionally overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity.”

Overwhelmed, indeed, seems the operative word. Adds Ashton: “I am eternally grateful for having them in my life. That makes me want to cry and hug them and cry a little bit more.”

Patrick Swayze, who starred in Dirty Dancing and Ghost, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his doctor says.

“Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far,” Dr. George Fisher says in a statement. “All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.”

The actor’s rep adds: “Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family.”

Swayze, 55, started his career as a dancer before turning to acting. His breakout role was as a Catskills dance instructor opposite Jennifer Grey in 1987’s sleeper hit Dirty Dancing. He also starred opposite Demi Moore in the 1990 blockbuster Ghost.

On Broadway in the ’70s he played the lead role of Danny Zucco in Grease – he returned to the New York stage in December 2003, for a brief stint in the revival of Chicago – before making his movie debut in 1979’s Skatetown, U.S.A. Among his other screen roles were 2001’s Donnie Darko and 1995’s To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, which he played in fabulous drag.

And while Swayze has been happily married to the same woman, Lisa Niemi, since 1975, only last month Scarlett Johansson said quite seriously during her Hasty Pudding roast at Harvard that the man to whom she’d most like to be linked with romantically is, “Probably Patrick Swayze. My dream come true.”

Swayze’s diagnosis was initially reported by the National Enquirer and New York Post, which both characterized the cancer as more severe than Swayze’s doctor has.

Each year about 33,000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas (a large organ that lies horizontally behind the lower part of one’s stomach), according to the Mayo Clinic.

Calling the condition “one of the most serious of cancers,” the facility’s Web site also states, “Pancreatic cancer spreads rapidly and is seldom detected in its early stages, which is a major reason why it’s a leading cause of cancer death.”

In a new interview, Salma Hayek confesses she suffered from diabetes during her pregnancy and that she was hoping for a son – but now she’s loving being a mom to her five-month-old daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault.

“I feel I was born to have this girl,” she tells the April issue of Glamour magazine.

Pregnancy for the 41-year-old, first-time mom was a humbling experience. “I had diabetes while I was pregnant. I became huge. And I said, ‘This is what it takes for me to have this baby, and I really want it.’ Then you don’t know if it’s going to be healthy; you are completely out of control,” she says. “So the experience really makes you humble.”

Hayek’s businessman fiancé, François Henri Pinault, 45, has two children from a previous marriage, and the actress confesses, “I wanted a boy.”

How come? “Probably because I was afraid,” she tells the magazine. “I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters.”

“Now that she’s here, I’m so happy she’s a girl,” Hayek says of Valentina. “And I can’t imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I’m in a state of innocence where I love everything she does.”

She concludes: “I just feel so fortunate to be her mother, and it makes me excited about the rest of my life, because I will get to witness her transformation every day.”
