All you need to know about Isla Fischer is that she stars in the upcoming film, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Here's the movie trailer:
Sarah Jessica Parker and Valentino. His skin is NOT a color found in nature. Its halfway between pumpkin and tangerine! I think he still uses Quik Tan from the 70's.
How crazy! This was my sexy pilgrim costume for Thanksgiving. Of course mine included the traditional pilgrim hat but everything else...identical! Leave it to Paris Hilton to copy me.
Its Miley! Its a felony! (you have to watch The Soup to get it) Miley and her twenty year old boufriend in their matching skinny pants. Don't you think twenty is a little old for a sixteen year old? I do! But twenty is just right for a thirty six year old.....kidding!
Naomi Watts is about to POP! Funny, she never officiallty announced her pregnancy. That could be a pillow in her sweater for all we know.
That beaded gown must be weighing down Nicole Kidman's delicate bones. I cannot come up with anything new to say about her light, pale hair and her translucent and botoxed face.
This is Hugh Jackman's wife, Deborah. Aside from the fact she looks like Phyllis Diller, lets talk about the shoes! NO NO NO! Not with a fancy little black dress. Those might be passable with pants but she needed to go with a sexy heel. Did Hugh not learn anything when he was on Broadway?
First, Wellies aren't cute in Los Angeles. They are adorable in London, in the rain. Maybe in New York when its drizzling. Second, I had a hair dresser tell me once that my hair was just like Heather Locklear's. Seeing this photo clarifies that comment- both of us have thin, frizzy, overprocessed locks.
Oh Britney. Hard to believe that this is the same girl on the cover of the Circus album. Shows you how valuable photoshop is. All you need is semi-decent lighting, a good blur filter and someone who knows how to touch up pimples and viola! Instant beauty.
Blake Lively is gorgeous and I love her hair. I know she gets it colored at the Lukaro salon in Beverly Hills. I'd love to get my hair colored there. I got the best hair cut from Luke O'Connor...anyway- Blake is stunning but that band-aid colored belt does no favors to the sweater and sequined skirt.
Beyonce is beautiful. But the dress leaves me feeling empty inside, like when I eat too many cookies. Is it a House of Dereon creation/atrocity? I have yet to see a pretty dress from there. If you deleted the poofy sleeves and went with a patent leather belt, even a sequined one, it would be an improvement over what looks like a janitor's tool belt with all kind of doo-dads dangling off it.
Reese Witherspoon looking chic and warm in all black. Of course she's on a major press junket for her new movie. Thats why we see her everywhere.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. They are a lovely couple. Do you think they get his and hers Botox in their foreheads?
Blush Cakes have five glorious stripes of color, specifically created to warm your skin tone and give your look a pop! of pretty color. I adore all things pink so its no wonder I fell in love with the Pretty In Pink blush cake. There is also Natural in Nudes and Warm in Sienna. But I like the pink best! I love the way all the colors blend together when you apply it with a big brush. Its perfect for winter when I want my cheeks to look like I've just come in from the cold!

Kenzo Pour Femme is a delicious scent and when I call it watery, I don't mean its watered down. I'm trying to say it has the essence of spring water, something very clean and natural. This fragrance comes in a simply gorgeous clear bottle which is a work of art in and of itself. The fragrance inside combines Frosty Water Mint, Water Lily, Paradise Seeds, Blue Cedar, Infusion of Vanilla Pods. It is a crisp, clean scent that instantly lifts my mood. Good for every day.
Flower by Kenzo Winter Flowers is one of the only perfumes I've ever tried that leaves your skin smelling lightly of powder. It's super soft and feminine. I tested this one my pulse points, couldn't stop smelling myself all day. I went out and bought my mother some of this perfume so she could enjoy it too. It's different from other perfumes because it's got that powdery smell that I'm so fond of. Most noticable on the dry-down.

Sarah Michelle Gellar...I don't mind the pants. In fact, from the ankles up everything is cool. But you can't put fancy shoes with casual pants! Hello, that's basic Fashion 101. Its too much, you have to keep it all in the same fashion genre, if you will. A boot or chunkier shoe would be better.
Rachel Leigh Cook is cute. Check out the neat butterfly purse! I've got my eye on it. It would be perfect with my pink sweater and dark jeans.
I think Cameron Diaz aged about five years in this photo! She must be trying to bring the blonde hair to a darker shade but coupled with the bat wing collar and dark lipstick, she's looking Housewives of Orange County old.
Nicole Richie looks smashing in that bright blue. Several years ago I bought a Cover Girl eye liner called Cobalt Blue. I looked very early 80's chic whenever I applied it. It was the exactly color of Nicole's dress. Not my best look, I admit.
Cute ! Taylor Swift looks perfect and age appropriate in this ensemble.
My fashionista icon, Rachel Zoe! Oh how I've missed her show. I hope Bravo brings it back and soon. I need my fashion fix and I need Rachel to give me a few more catchphrases to add to my repitoire.
If you are young and hip and your name is Rihanna, then I think you can get away with wearing these rubber leggings. If you're a middle aged soccer mom with a cellulite problem, then you must apologize to everyone in your path for causing them undue distress from looking at your rubber clad thighs.
When Jessica Biel wants to, she can look so pretty! Yes on the hair and makeup. I'm undecided about the dress. I think the top portion needs to be hiked up a bit. I like the idea but not the execution.
First of all, she's wearing pumps again. Second, Paris Hilton is in her twenties, thats beyond the point where you are matchy-matchy with your clothes, shoes etc. Did we do that in the 80's? I don't think so. The purse and sunglasses look even more childish than Hannah Montana accessories from Libby Lou.
The photo might be of Melanie "Botox-Plastic Surgery Addict" Griffith but the real star of the shot is the lady on the right. She must be an America's Next Top Model fan, look at how she's smiling with her eyes, coyly looking over her shoulder. That's a Tyra Banks pose.
oh Kate- time to except that your feet are a size 8 not a 7. Kate Beckinsdale's toes are always hanging off the front of her shoes.
Carlos Leon and daughter Lourdes in New York City. I hope she's dressed in clothes from organically harvested material and those lace up boots better be faux leather! I wonder if Madonna imposes her strict rules on Carlos as she does with Guy. If I were either of them, I'd say yes to everything and do what I wanted. Processed food, polyester clothes, tap-water, Spongebob Squarepants movies...non-stop fun!
Here's a trend that I hope never catches on...the fringled sunglasses! Thank you for demonstrating this monstrosity, Beyonce. It's like the trim on the edge of an area rug. Not for me or my sunglasses. You know her song about the single ladies? Then she holds up her hand and says "Put a ring on it!" It's been going through my head driving me crazy all day.
Benjamin Affleck in Africa. I can't wait for the day when I can hop aboard my private jet and bring food and other supplies to people who need help. Of course I'd stay in my four star resort and wear my designer Ralph Lauren safari togs.
Who styled Lindsay? I hope it wasn't Samantha because all she wears is tee shirts and skinny jeans. What does Sam know about fashion? Music is her deal. Lindsay needs to lose the necklace, its too much with the halter of the dress. If she took the necklace off, I'd approve.
Oh gosh. Jessica Biel, what are you thinking? The outfit is too Barbershop Quartet, what with the red of the dress and the white hat. That kind of hat is best worn with a plain tee shirt and jeans, if you insist.
You can tell its Mary Kate because the dress looks like something an old lady might dig out of her armoire for an evening of canasta and Ethel Merman tunes. I can see an old retiree wearing it with a mink turban, reeking of Youth Dew and cigarettes. She'd be carrying a vodka gimlet and calling everyone "darling" in a raspy voice. But no, its MK Olsen.
Okay, I can get on board with this outfit. Its simple, refined and put together. Sarah Jessica Parker comes up with some questionable ensembles but this works for me. Plus, I love pink!
I pick up the kids from school wearing outfits like this. Baggy sweats, a sweatshirt, sunglasses. I get it. I can't pick Jessica Simpson apart too much here.
Reese Witherspoon at the premiere of her new movie which I can't wait to see. I like her dress and shoes. She gets two snaps, a Slurpee and a ride on a unicorn for looking fresh, pretty and put together!
I remember getting my Seventeen magazine every month and Jennifer Connelly used to be in every fashion spread. It totally bothered me. Now she doesn't bother me, in fact I like her. Especially in the movie, The House of Sand and Fog. But here - I'm not a fan of tights. If she wore this with black boots, I'd be content. She should have gone with a nude leg if she wanted to wear those shoes. And I'd like to see a bulky silver necklace along with the knee high black boots, maybe in a patent leather. But who am I to critique?
I expected this Metallic Eye Shadow to be very light and frosty. I was wrong! Its such a deep, rich color accented by metallic shimmer that it's going to be used at night when I want to amp up the glamour factor. I tried a new shade called Indigo Nights which is a deep gray-blue. With dark blue eyeliner and black mascara, it will be my winter evening look! Ideal for the smokey eye that never goes out of style.
This is such a versatile product- wear it on your face or sweep over your eyes. Look at the colors, like shades of the desert! The colors include: candlelight, gold, copper, beige and sand. The limited edition Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick compact is housed in a big compact with a mirror and a faux leather cover. Its so gorgeous inside and out. I havent decided whether I like to combine the colors as an eyeshadow or use them to warm up my pale face.

Can you imagine walking through the airport and having security escort you because hundreds of people are grabbing their cell phones and cameras as you walk by...I mean, it happens to me sometimes but to be Gwen Stefani and have hords of weary travelers calling your name, taking your picture... that would suck! But then you retreat to your mansion, hand the kids off to the nanny and go upstairs to count your millions and it's all worth it. I guess.
I'm not thrilled at Rihanna's choice of dress, it kind of looks like someone is grabbing her side or clutching at the fabric with an oversized brooch. I'm going to give her a pass today though because I'm feeling generous in my critiques and I have a headache.
I'm giving actress Monet Mazur's outfit two snaps, a golden egg and a Hostess cupcake. Cute dress, love the belt and I applaud the strappy shoes and simple bag.
The bad: Madonna's Easy Turf dress. She's fifty years old and wearing fake grass? We could play a round of miniature golf on her body. Beware of her "sand trap"!
I don't understand the point of view with this outfit. Katie's shorts seem to say "summer" while the sweater vest/ cardigan say "granny." Her boots scream out "disco fever" and the tight remind us of "school girl chic" and the Birkin bag is clearly "money!" All together, the ensemble cries out "Scientology!" / "fashion victim!"
Even wearing very little makeup Kate Winslet is beautiful. I know she had a beef with Vanity Fair for airbrushing the heck out of her photo spread but really, they can barely improve upon what nature has blessed her with which is a lovely face, pretty eyes and creamy skin.
When I attend an event, I always agonize over what to wear. I want to look my best at all times (in public- private is another story). I suppose Julia Stiles didn't get the memo. Julia would like us to believe she's beyond getting all gussied up for an affair and that she's so not into aesthetics that she'd show up in rumpled jeans and a shirt. A black shirt with a white bra no less.
Remember when Helena Christiansen was thebomb back in the day? She was in the Chris Isaak's Wicked Game video, back when there were videos. Are there still music videos around?
If I knew Frances Bean, I would probably be obnoxious and annoying and call her Frances Beanie or Franny Bean-O. She has stunning eyes, doesn't she? Her and Kelly Osbourne look like they should be distant cousins with their goth black hair, powdery white skin and red lips.
Oh thank you! I feel so much better about myself after seeing Eva Longoria wearing these Spanx! Im not the only one who struggles with pudgy, doughy thighs?
Young unidentifiable actress no. 413. Her name is Camilla Belle and she's dating a Jonas Brother. That's all I've got. Her pink lipstick clashes with her makeup, not to mention the red carpet. I see where she's coming from with the dress, trying to show off her youthful figure but goodness, the shoes! It looks like toilet paper got stuck on the back of them.
Part of me feels sorry for Britney, the other part of me is cracking up at the unflattering picture. I think I've had that sick-drunk-tired look on my face many many times!
What do you do when your stone washed jeans bust at the seams? Nothing! These really are vintage; check out the zippers on the ankles. Amy Winehouse is bringing the 80's back. In her hair.
I had been dying to try the new L'oreal Double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara which features those nifty tubes around your lashes. My interest was primarily in the fact that the tubes slide off, eliminating the need to use an eye make up remover. Second, the lashes are supposed to be 80% thicker thanks to the white base coat which contains lash strengthening properties.
Here's a picture of my Yves St Laurent Rouge Volupte Radiant lipstick in the shade ofRed Temptation. I rarely if ever wear red lipstick but today I thought, why not? Gwen Stefani wears it and so should I. You should too. Labels: L'oreal, Yves St Laurent

Nicole and Joel look nice, normal, healthy. But- I have to point out the long jeans! Doesn't Nicole have a tailor to take a few inches off the bottoms? I hate when my jeans drag on the ground. I get home and they're all filthy and who knows what germs I'm hauling around. I don't understand why these people don't hem their pants. I'm going to assume that they just throw their stuff away after wearing it once.
You can't find anything wrong with Charlize Theron so don't waste time trying. Do you see her shoes? This is what I've been talking about! The strappy shoe is much sexier than the pump. Finally! Someone's been taking my advice!
Love the dress and the red shoes. I appreciate the fact that she's holding her own umbrella too. That's totally unheard of! Usually there's some kind of assistant or minion to hold it.
Can you imagine having a gorgeous mother like Kim Basinger and then you're born ugly? Luckily daughter Ireland is beautiful. I hope she's mended her relationship with father Alec Baldwin! Remember the "rude little pig" comment?
Jennie Garth looks fabulous! Let me see if there's anything I can critique....nope. Love the little accent in her hair. Bravo, Jennie. Where is she, you ask? At the Twilight premiere of course! Her husband stars as one of the Cullens.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes. Count to ten. Think of puppies and rainbows, of prancing unicorns and a leprechau holding a pot of gold. Now open your eyes and view this picture. Yes. It's from the Twilight premiere and these are the stars, Edward and Bella in the flesh. Its Robert Pattinson and his greasy hair that stands on end and Kristen Stewart who looks like she might be a giant bee-yotch in real life.
She's back to wearing the buzzard hive but Amy Winehouse lost all fashion sense somewhere between the Cocker Spaniel bangs and laceless sneakers. Are those stonewashed jeans? A belt from 1985? Do you think if you ask her for a pen, she will reach up and pull one out of her coif? Along with a pouch of crack and a bag of Doritos. And Britney's new cd....
Who's idea was this? I think it was Jaden's. Circus theme? What a copycat of Pink's Funhouse! I'm not sure how I feel about Britney's circus poses and costumes. Do you think she got inspiration from the novel, Water for Elephants? It would have been better if she dressed as a clown. Or Amy Winehouse. See how I come full circle and bring it back to Amy?
Because I am a gigantic goober, I check my google news every morning to see if Ashlee Simpson popped out her little Fall Out Boy. Nope! Not yet. I think Im just interested in what she chooses to name her baby and I want to see if Pete will apply black nail polish and eyeliner to his offspring. I want to believe they will name him something really bizarre. I'll be so disappointed if she doesn't come up with a crazy moniker.
Hollywood Blonde No. 345. I told you there were too many of these to count! This girl is AnnaLynne or Ann Lynne or Anna Lyn or something from one of those Gossip Girls/The Hills/90210/Laguna Beach/Housewives of Where-ever shows. I can't tell them apart.
It's so gratifying on many levels to see Angelina not looking like a perfect, raven haired goddess. Even the guy in the top hat is wondering why she isn't wearing Spanx. See, her shirt is visible through her satiny pants. At least, I think its her shirt causing that ripple in the pelvic region. Either her shirt isn't tucked in smoothly or- stop the presses!- she doesn't have a totally flat stomach. Something looks off and its not Brad Pitt's silky denim pants, fedora or pornstache.

Heidi Klum: It's all good until you scroll down and see the patterned tights. Even so, they wouldn't be so bad with the cocktail dress if her legs weren't capped with those hideous shoes! They have a heel and a wedge. I might be able to replicate those shoes in my wood shop.
Why can't I be invited to a party where you get all glammed up and wear mink stoles, silk gloves and red lipstick? Katherine Heigl and her hubby look like they are from another era- one I'd like to live in for a while.
Salma Hayek and her adorable bambina, Valentina. Her shoes look slightly orthopedic. I think they might be fitness shoes so I'll cut her a break. Plus her baby daddy is a billionaire. Talk about a sugar daddy!
Isla Fischer is so cute. Would you like an escort to your car too? I'm going to insist on a personal security detail next time I'm at Target/7-11/Walmart.
Punky Bewster aka Soliel Moon Frye. Love her! Her dress looks like a jacket but the color is fantastic. She's gorgeous in real life, super tiny but so pretty. Remember her brother, Meeno Peluce? I've probably spelled it wrong but don't bother correcting me, okay?
What is this? Becki Newton needs a wide belt to give the dress shape. I demand to know why Rachel Zoe isn't on the scene? The dress has potential but it offers no definition on the waist. I think it would make a cute top. Pair it with jeans...yes. Leggings, maybe.
Sarah Jessica Parker demonstrates what I don't miss about the east coast- the cold! You have to go outside in a warm puffy jacket, lined boots, a hat, scarf, tuck some mittens in your pockets...look incredibly un-cute and un-sexy. Your nose gets red and your ears start to hurt. The icy wind blows and before you know it, you have snot dripping from your nostrils. Your hands are bright red and your cheeks sting...and I haven't even touched on how you have to scrape ice and snow from the car before you go anywhere.
I'm totally adopting this pose for the holiday cards this year. Just wait and watch. I think Paris Hilton must have six hundred pairs of pumps in her closet. Is there another shoe that reminds you of a secretary besides the pump? I like straps, stilettos, buckles, flats, bows, buttons, embroidery, leopard prints...anything but the basic solid colored pump.
uh oh...here's Lindsay pre-flour dousing. Bravo to Peta for finding something a little less offensive than red paint to throw on unsuspecting fur wearers. Just so you know, I only wear faux fur. So should you see me strolling the streets of Southern California, done up in a luxurious fox stole wearing my mink turban, and chinchilla eyelashes, please realize that it's all faux. I'm an expert at faking it!
Did you see this- Madonna left the kids in Guy's care and gave him a list a mile long about what the kids could and couldnt do/wear/eat. I believe their precious lips are only allowed to drink Kabbalah water (is there any other kind? Fiji? Bah!), they can eat only macrobiotic (no In n' Out burgers for them! No Krispy Cremes), no television ( not even Animal Planet?), synthetic fibers are not permitted (who doesn't love polyester?) and can only listen to music that will fill them with spirituality and peace.
Kate Hudson looks cute....
....I love the color of the dress. It's vibrant and gorgeous. But again with the pumps! Strappy shoes! Maybe something in silver. With a huge silver cuff around the wrist. Perhaps some brighter lipstick and a huge ring with a pink stone. Uh, Kate..call me!
Yes on the shoes! No on the crumpled tissue of a dress. I'm sure Gwyneth dropped a ton of cash on the dress (if it's not borrowed, that is) but I might have been able to find something cuter at Marshalls or even Forever21! Girls like me and Gwyneth, we need to stay away from strapless tops like that one. Not flattering at all! It needs about four solid inches on the bottom too.
In comparison to the girl from that reality show that I never watched and the Kardashian sisters, I'd look like a sad sack middle aged soccer mom in need of Botox and a week or two of detox. I'll never stand in the midst of these bikini clad cuties!
If you are the owner of a pair of fine gams like Chloe Sevigny, then go ahead and show them off. While the outfit looks a little retro 80's- Chess Kind/Canadians of the mall era-, I like the leopard print shoes and I applaud the orange-red lipstick.
Killer bod!
Good Lord, Amanda Bynes! What did you do to your lips? Amanda is really adorable, loved her in Hairspray. Loved her in that movie where she played a guy in order to get on the soccer team. Im not loving the fact that she's tampering with her face. Hon, there's plenty of time for that once you hit 35.
Cute, Ali Larter. I'm not a fan of the pleated skirt though- looks a wee bit short in the back. She couldn't bend over withouth giving us a peep show. Then I get to the boots and while I like them and might even be convinced to wear them, I think they make the legs look stubby. A shoe for pants, not skirts. Almost an elfin bootie.
You've been wondering if I have any special makeup tips to share, haven't you? Well, the cat is out of the bag. Shauna Sand took all my advice before I could properly write it all down for the general public. I'll sum it up:
Look at Joely Richardson's new little baby! She's so cute. I want one too. I would name her Reagan Olivia and dress her in all organic clothes and snuggle with her all day, giving her tons of kisses.
Maybe I should take my cue from Reese Witherspoon and wear red lipstick. I'm always afraid I'll look too "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" if I wear it. Perhaps I shall give it a whirl. Doesn't Reese look terrific? Costarring with Vince Vaughn agrees with her! Actually the two were rumored to get on each others nerves during the filming of Four Christmas's.
Ignore Diane Keaton's blossoming garden of a dress and slide your peepers over to Linda Evangelista! I just read in my latest People that she confirms use of Botox. I knew it! Everyone is doing it! Aren't you? You should. I should. Peer pressure. I feel like I must begin going for my thrice yearly injections soon. Linda has always been one of my favorite supermodels.
Nicole Richie looks glam and well put together although I think the dress looks a little like a nightie. That fabric is highly unforgiving. You cannot disguise a lump, bump or defect under it. I'd need a full body Spanx if I were to wear it, which I wouldn't.
Julianne Hough looks like she feels better after her surgery. If you watch Dancing With the Stars, you'll know what I am talking about. She's an amazing dancer.
Jewel gets four stars and snap for her choice of gown and gold accessories. Bravo!
Katherine Heigl is going to die on Grey's Anatomy. Why else would she be seeing Denny's ghost? I think he'd smell like cigarettes and beer but I find him cute in a disheveled way. Speaking of cigarettes, Katherine knows its bad for her health to be smoking! I'm guessing Izzy will die of..lung cancer?
Wow, look who it is! Shania Twain. No doubt she's a beautiful woman but enough with the tanner! She's nearly orange. I think Crayola defines the color as tangerine.
Here's Gwyneth P-trow and her little man Moses. I guess she's of the Madonna/Kate Hudson school of thought where you don't cut your kids hair until they are older. I say cut that off right now!
Famke Janssen and her dog. I think his name is Licorice. Cute, no? When I put my dog in a shirt, he ended up peeing all over it. He looked so cute but smelled so bad. I'd pick him up and get wet, it was digusting. I had a red hooded sweatshirt for him but clearly he wasn't into fashion because he lifted his leg in a way that he peed on himself instead of the grass. End of the shirt.
Who styled Fergie? Clearly it wasn't stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe. The dress has potential but it kind of makes her resemble a D-Cell battery in shape. I would have done away with the tights and gone with a different shoe. I'd put her hair in a high pony tail too. The whole look doesn't work for me. I know she reads this blog religiously so I'll just offer up my services right here and now. Ferg, call me!
I think Eva Mendes is gorgeous. I like that she doesn't look like every other Taylor Momson/ Blake Lively/ Gossip Girl/ The Hills cast member. I appreciate her unique look. I do however, get a strong bitch vibe from her. I could be totally off base but I feel like if I were to go up to her, all meek and feeble as I am, and strike up small talk (Hello. Nice weather we're having.) she'd look down at me and say, "Who the hell are you and why are you talking to me?"
I wear this identical outfit all week long. Charlize and I could be twins! Okay, let me back pedal. I don't wear the stretchy pants that are so tight they borderline on camel toe territory. No one wants to see that. Im sure I'd be cited with multiple citizens arrests should I leave the house wearing spandex. But the top, cardigan, cap, flip-flops and sunglasses is how I roll 90% of the time.
Cindy Crawford has admitted to using botox so don't beat yourself up over being over 35 and not looking exactly like her. I have a strong suspicion that she's had a couple of gentle facelifts as well. Plus, a personal trainer to keep herself fit and all the other staff who are employed to make sure she's as cover ready as Zac Efron.
Great dress, Jessica Biel! But the purse and shoes? No. And that picture better be taken in a Las Vegas casino! I have big problems with a carpet that loud and tacky found anywhere else. Back to the shoes. They would be better suited to a high waisted pencil skirt paired with a white blouse. And the bag would be okay if only the shoes were a shade of gray. On a positive note, the top of the dress is divine!

Fergie- more on her later, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. I love Sarah's eye makeup. Heavy black liner, false lashes with a hint of bronze color.
The Girls Next Door are moving on, so sad! Here's a little tear for Hef. Kendra is getting married, no more of her rapid gunfire giggle. And Holly is dating that Criss Angel magician dude who also dated Cameron Diaz. What's Hef going to do? Right, twins!
Christina Aguilera changed her style just a tweak by adding clip- on bangs. I guess I admire her ability to...look kind of cartoony and not care what people think of her.
Get used to seeing the kids from Twilight everywhere from now until after the new year. These three will be in the magazines, in commercials, and on television, basically you won't be able to get away from them. You might as well give yourself over to the power of Rob Pattinson's hair now.
Aww look at little Cruz, all dressed like a guide from the zoo. When she gets tired of strolling around, Victoria can fold herself up and get into her oversized bag! Tie the balloon to the handle and it will take her where she needs to go. I do like her boots. She can leave those here for me.
Keith Urban looks like he might share the same hair highlighting technique/shades as Billy Ray Cyrus. Nicole Kidman is back to getting regular botox injections. Her forehead is smoother than a window pane. Her brows are bordering Chola territory and her hair looks a wee bit crispy from the hair bleach. What happened to the lovely red color she sported years ago? If she went natural, I believe she'd look younger.
Wow! Nicole Richie looks fabulous. Her forehead looks tanner than the rest of her face but I'm not going to pick her apart. I love the eye makeup and hair extensions.
Mischa Barton is a conglomerate of ruffles and pleats. I'm not sure what's going on with her costume? It might be leftover from the wardrobe department of Sweeney Todd.
Michelle Tractenberg looks like a wax figure from Madame Toussads. Her skin needs a pop of blush. I'd feel more comfortable if she had more color in her cheeks. I like that necklace and her eye makeup looks great.
You know I always say Maggie Gyllenhaal looks like a Cabbage Patch Kid. Maggie and Peter are going for wild and earthy look. Peter took a week to rough it on the mountain, hunted down some animals (bad! very bad!). He wore flannel and boots and lived off the fruit of the land like a lone wolf man. Then he brought back a few pelts which Maggie sewed to form a very furry, almost Muppet- like vest. He didn't shave because if he had, then the look wouldn't have made complete sense. He should have worn a matching sweater or scarf.
It's a nice cool November day, perfect for a sweater, jeans and open toe boots? These don't make sense to me. Katie Holmes, wear some real boots that will keep your feet warm! These shoes make as much sense to me as crotchless underpants. Or chaps.
These three HSM hooligans? Ashley, Zac and Vanessa. I think Zac seems like the type to wear makeup and get his nails buffed. I will say that Vanessa has great legs and I prefer Ashley with her blonde hair.
Tim McGraw needs to pull a John Travolta and get some hair plugs already. The hat schtick is getting old. I know some women go crazy over Tim McG but I don't get flustery over him. In fact, quite the opposite. Faith Hill is gorgeous but the dress calls for a long chunky necklace.
Let's talk about Angelina's twins hiding in the top of Fergie's dress. What's up with that? I think she's suffocating something in there! Yikes. I suddenly feel like bowling...
Emmy Rossum is looking very gold and purple all over!
Debra Messing usually appears at these functions looking very pulled together. I like the dress but wonder what are we looking at where you can see through the dress? She might have worn a nude slip or something and a neat vintage shawl would have been pretty. Her toes are busting out of the peep in her peep -toe shoes.

Here's a product that does it all. Roc Multi-Correction Eye Treatment diminishes dark circles, smooths wrinkles and gives your eye area a brighter appearance. This contains "Pure ROC Retinol concentrate" as well as anti-oxidant vitamins plus vitamin C. Roc is one of the best brands at a reasonable price that you can buy anywhere.
I have a hard time finding really good, gentle eye makeup removers that don't leave a residue. One that I keep coming back to is by Avene. It smells lightly of roses and is more like a gel than a liquid so it will not run into your eyes or leave your eye lashes wet. For eye care, Avene also offers Soothing Eye Contour Cream and Ystheal Contour Care. Both can be used on the eyelids and under the eyes. I am very good about using eye creams every day and night and like these because they can be used all over the eye area without any irritation. Avene products use the Avene Spring Water to infuse natural radiance without any irritants. I've been using Avene for a while now and really like this brand.
Neutrogena has been around for ages and they keep introducing new products to their line- up of skincare. This is a fantastic brand that you can buy at any major drugstore and is reasonably priced. The Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Night Cream contains "Retinol SA plus Hyaluronic Acid that helps accelerate surface cell turnover with every use." I find this product to work well, it does not cause any irritations, it does not clog pores and the fact that it contains Retinol is a huge plus. I've been reading up on how important retinols are for healthy skin and using this product will help with cell renewal and collagen production- both important in fighting wrinkles!
If you haven't tried anything from the Body Deli, I urge you to do so. This stuff is the bomb! I love it, love it, love it! It's all natural and made without any harsh chemicals. If you want organic skincare, this is for you. Flash Flood gives combination/oily skin a surge of moisture but is light enough to to not clog pores. It has a delicious scent and contains anti-oxidants. I've been getting several reader requests for all natural skin care so I want to point you right to the Body Deli for organic, pure products that work. Every time I visit their website I see many, many things I want! I am such a lover of all things rose and they have this Rose Euphoria Body Souffle I am dying to get my hands on....Labels: Avene, Neutrogena, Roc, The Body Deli
Check out my review of this book on Page 2 Reel.com
Ugh! Mickey Rourke looks like a leather glove that was left out over the long cold winter then burned over the long hot summer and grilled like a hot dog. And driven over with a tractor trailer a few times. Then spun out in the dryer.
You're probably wondering if I look as stylish as Seal and Heidi as I trapse through the airport. Well, the answer is.. of course! Leather bag? ha! It's a canvas backpack for me!
Lucy Liu picked out a great dress- or is she styled by Rachel Zoe? I now know that celebs have their stylists chose all dress, shoes and accessories for all events and press junkets. Speaking of Rachel, when will her show be back on? I'm going through withdrawls.
What would your response be if you saw Mary Kate Olsen in the flesh? The world would stop as I stared at her, taking in every nuance like the socio/anthro/biologist-student of all humans that I am. I expect she would be small in stature, fascinating as she sucked on her cigarettes and balanced enormous glasses on her elfin face.
Yeah yeah, John Mayer, whatever! I'm zeroing in on the dude in the UFC shirt. My husband loves the UFC. I feel like every darn weekend we're watching half naked guys wrestle each other to the ground with their faces in each other's crotches! I'd bite down. CHOMP.
I applaud Jessica Biel for going out in public without a lick of makeup on her face. But let's be honest, I've seen the photos of her as a teen and she's had lip injections and a nose job!
Helena Bonham Carter always looks like she's two steps from eating at the soup kitchen but her baby, Nell, is gorgeous. I love chubby healthy babies!
I think the photo-retoucher just swapped out Mariah Carey's head for Whitney's. A lazy day at the studio. Every diva needs an album cover with a thigh-high bathing suit and endless legs. Mine's being put together as I type this.
I want to say that Heidi Klum looks a wee bit frightening without her makeup but the truth is that I'd look like a scary monster from a horror film in comparison and thats WITH my makeup.
Careful on those spiked heels, Eva Longoria! I'm going to admit something to you- I think she's hilarious on Desperate Housewives.
Demi and Ashton! They look cute and happy.
Britney and her son, Baby Cheeto. I just remembered Fudgie the Whale for some reason. Probably because I have no problem imagining Britney ordering up one at Carvel.
Ohhhh, someone needs an oil blotting paper or maybe some powder! Catherine Zeta Jones has quite a shine going on. Where is her personal assistant to carefully remove that excess grease?
For your showering or bath taking pleasure, might I suggest Suave's Exhale line? I am obsessed with the Lavender-Vanilla body wash and lotion. It smells amazing and leaves my skin so soft. I've sniffed the Juicy Tangerine which is heavenly and a nice base for citrus based perfumes. Also available is Lime Verbena and Sandalwood and Cinnamon. How can you resist? Both the body wash and lotion for under five dollars? And these bottles arent small. What a tremendous value. In fact, I'm giving body wash and lotion to all friends and family this holiday season.Labels: Suave
You know, I've only walked a red carpet once or twice but now I think I have a new way of approaching it. A new position to test out next time I find myself in front of photographers and fans. Jack Black, thank you for showing me a most graceful way of posing. I've been doing it all wrong.
Stop what you are doing! What's more important than gazing at Angelina Jolie's post-twin body? Her legs are so long and snappy, like uncooked spaghetti noodles.
Mischa Barton makes some rather unusual fashion choices like this green Snuffleupagus inspired skirt. I wouldn't know whether to lay down in it or pet it.
Either this is a very perculiar camera angle or Victoria Beckham's head is growing.
I'd hate to stand next to these two for fear I'd look like a character from a horror movie. Nicole "botox" Kidman and Charlize "weed smoker" Theron will star in a film together.
Perhaps this butt grazing lace- up dress was purchased from Frederick's of Hollywood? Sienna Miller looks like she might be trying out to be in the next Girls Next Door. She certainly has experience-- with lots of men.
Oh Meg Ryan. Always appears slightly disheveled and pale. Like Kirsten Dunst. Lumpy and kind of wrinkled. To be fair though, Kirsten is rather pretty in real life.
I don't know of one female who isn't planning on seeing Twilight. Now, I hear the secret to Rob Pattinson's cuckoo hair is that...he doesn't wash it. You think thats product in his hair? Its a build up of oil, dirt, and whatever else you can imagine. I bet smells disgusting!
The skin and hair are amazing! Uma Thurman looks gorgeous. What are her secrets to such lovely skin?
That's pretty bold of Kate Moss to wear such teeny shorts. If I wore those, which I wouldn't, but if I did, Im quite certain people would point, stare, laugh and gag. Maybe even retch a little.
Even in pregnancy, Jennifer Garner has a very low key minimalist style.

LipShine is a fantastic lipstick that behaves like a gloss. It gives your lips a high shine although it looks just like a simple lipstick. It's not sticky like a lipstick or dry and it doesn't get cakey on your lips. Hooray!

Next time, may I suggest waterproof mascara? Amy Winehouse is a mess. Entertaining to watch but a train wreck just waiting to happen. Or should I say a crack train?
Scarlett Jo. Newly married, I suppose I could call her Mrs. Ryan Reynolds.
Yes, this is one of the pictures from the photoshoot that's supposedly been photoshopped to the high heavens. You can't deny that Kate Winslet looks like Catherine Denueve here. With or without the erasing of any blemishes/dark circles/imperfections Kate may have, she is stunning.
I just love Julianne Moore's vibrant red hair. Her little girl Liv is the spitting image of her. 
Well...Im a little speechless. I don't know the designer of the dress but I think it might be Apple. It does sort of look like an arts and crafts project using left over lace from Halloween, dish towels, gorilla glue and a stapler.
Glad to see Fergie is getting her exercise. I bet that weinie dog really sets the pace with those squat legs. I watched Dogs 101 on Animal Planet and they profiled these dogs. They like to go after badgers, burrow into couch cushions and dig up carpet. I like saying it: weiner dog.
Gretchen Mol is super cute. I love that she's an actress and she's beautiful but she's not all up in your grill. I dislike her sons name: Ptolemy. I would totally pronounce an exaggerated P just to be annoying.
Eva Mendes. You know I think she's lovely. Her hair looks fantastic although her face looks angry. Grrrrrrr.
Christina Applegate on set of Samantha Who? I didn't watch the show until recently and now Im a fan. Its funny and cute and she wears great clothes. My heart breaks over her breast cancer diagnosis and mastectomy. Thankfully she's healthy now.
Chloe Sevigny. Such an independent spirit! I love that about her. She's not traditionally pretty but she's got a look that's unique and an uncompromising style and I dig it. I can't believe she dated that guy with the greasy hair who looks like he has a raging case of syphilis though. Vincent..something. He sold his sperm on ebay. Do you think it was sent FedEx and packed with dry ice?
This Pro-Collagen Marine cream is wonderful. Its rich and smells great, makes my skin look smooth and even, bright and well rested.
I've been on a few cruises and each time, I wander into the spa and see Elemis products on display, usually in a back lit case. Very intriguing. Elemis strikes me as a very high end, luxury brand. To be honest, I thought it was a brand only available on cruises, specifically Royal Caribbean. I didn't think I, little me, would ever get to try them. But lo and behold, I had the opportunity and am not disappointed! In fact, I feel like a pampered queen and I like it. There are so many products to choose from depending on what you need or want. Lately my concerns hover around anti-aging and keeping my eyes from looking crinkly.Labels: Elemis

The first time I dyed my hair, I was about fourteen, maybe fifteen. This certain horrible, mean boy, who teased me during my entire childhood, made fun of my hair (among other things) and then and there, I decided I would color it. I was born with light blonde hair and throughout the years, my hair became darker and darker until it turned into that color which is neither blonde nor brown. I bought some kind of dye in Light Ash Blonde and over the utility sink in our basement, colored my hair. I read a Danielle Steel book while I waited for the color to develop, I remember it well. It was a long time ago and I haven't seen my real hair color since.Labels: Clairol Perfect 10
At first, I wondered where the tutorial was...? Then I realized you have to lift the front cover of the box which opens to detailed instructions on how to achieve perfectly sexy rock star eyes using the colors in the box. Ahhhh, got it! I love the look of a smokey eye. With Rocker Eye, you can get the look using the heavy metal colors and double ended brush. This set includes three shades: 1980's Eyecolor which is a deep silver, Rock Star is a dark gray, and Black Leather which is rich black. Remember Stella on Project Runway? I have to call it Black Leatha, like Stella would.

Kate Beckinsdale and family looking spooky. I think even in costume Kate is stunning! Look at her adorable little girl.
Lauren Conrad. I have yet to see The Hills...is that the show she's on? I love her strong red lips!
I just wrote about this book here.
Jen and Violet- smile for Ben. You know the Affleck family loves their Starbucks! I love coffee, it can come from the 7-11 and I am perfectly happy.
Heidi Klum always has the most elaborate Halloween parties. I suppose my invite got lost in the mail this year...? I had my costume all ready to go! Pink is a sexy sad clown which goes along with the theme from her Funhouse cd, which is very good. I've been listening to it since last week.
Jada Pinkett Smith is not in costume. She carries a very expensive Birkin bag.
Reese Witherspoon, another Starbucks fan. Love her simple chic outfit.
I just- what? I can't- don't- I cannot even express how I feel about Priscilla's poor paralyzed face! I read somewhere that she had a motor oil injected into her face to cure the wrinkles. I'm all for a little Botox or Juvaderm, maybe a nice subtle lift but injecting weird things into my face, I'd have to just say no! She used to be beautiful.
