Wesley Snipes Sentenced To 3 Years

2010-11-26T05:57:00.001-08:00

Wesley Snipes, the actor who performed in the famous Blade trilogy, in a number of classic comedy movies and many other actions, has finally been read his judgement in an appeal case this weekend. Snipes was convicted of fraud related to intentionally failing to return tax to the federal tax commission for the period between 1999 and 2001 which incurred significant dis balance as the actor earned more that 34 million US dollars for that period.
Still a lot is to happen with the case of the actor. Or at least this is what his attorney has implied since after the final judgement was read by a judge in a US court, the quite unhappy defender announced his intention (in relation to the wishes of his client) that he would appeal the outcome in the US Supreme Court. However, the facts remain quite foggy as little is known about the conduct of Mr Snipes and whether he intentionally hid the large amount of tax he was to return to the US services.
Contrary to the words of his defender, in the other hand, the judge it was hightime for the actor to show up and take his sentence seriously as he has three years in a federal prison. Mr Snipes, however, did not show for the trial himself as under the motive he was picturing a movie in another state. This again raised questions as to the belief the actor holds himself and whether his liability is fair according to himself. People still argue that the sentence in relation to the fraud is reasonable since Mr Snipes could have been in much more serious problems if he had not been cleared of the conspiracy and more serious fraud charges raised on him in the initial trial at first instance.

A strange plan for losing weight

2010-10-30T07:07:00.001-07:00

Today I came across something really funny... We have all heard of various types of diets, some of them working, some not, some just not right for us... But isn‘t it strange when we hear something like "wearing a special bracelet will make you lose 10 kgs in 2 weeks"? I heard about this originally when I was hunting around online for Birmingham airport parking. Yellow updates are generally more entertaining stories, that involve the names of celebrities rather than information that will change your life.
However, when "yellowish"tips for losing weight and start to produce sensational "recipes"for weight loss if only someone to read / buy / see, then it becomes dangerous to health.About this time before we started with the presentation of the most bizarre diets that are curious only to read but not implementing it harm.After weakening in prayer by smoking and by drinking a bottle of white wine per day, stumbled upon a new, insanely proposal - diet with blue glasses. All you need for it are a pair of sunglasses with blue lenses.
The logic of the Chinese Yumetay, manufacturer of glasses for weight loss "is this - when you see your food in blue, it will seem tasty and will eat much less.
According to him, even Johnny Depp was a follower of this diet because Johnny often occurs precisely in those glasses and they owed her pretty figure.Fortunately, wearing blue glasses with a meal is not harmful, but do not expect miracles.
Oh, and be ready all you stare. Blue goggles may only be a Johnny. There surely is certain amount of truth in the statement that cold colours make you lose apetite and not eat as much as when you are at a warm-colour atmosphere, but wearing coloured glasses can only ruin your eyes and damage your sight. However, healthy lifestyle and avoiding overeating are the clues to good figure, so you would not need cosmetic surgery.

In life one makes about 400 million feet, carrying their own weight. If you multiply the numbers will prove that "an existence"carrying about 24 million tons of cargo.

X Factor Finalist Receives Death Threats

2010-10-30T05:44:00.000-07:00

As you all know from reading this blog, I am a massive fan of celebrity gossip but sometimes I feel things can be taken too far. When I was driving around trying to find a spot in the Manchester airport parking lot I heard on the radio that X factor finalist Katie Waissel wants to leave the show after she has been receiving death threats.

Most people would say that having the opportunity to take on your dream, being mentored by Cheryl Cole, and have loads of record agents listen to you sing would be worth the hassle that comes with being in the public spotlight. But this has been taken way too far, and no amount of fame is worth the distress that this young lady is currently up against.

The threats started coming with she beat out Gamu during the judges’ stage despite having a very public breakdown during performance. Now I understand that some people can get very ‘into’ these competitions. I myself will admit to being a little too hot headed at times, but death threats? Really? I would have thought that the British television public would be above that. Now, I am in no way saying that Katie should be the favorite to win, but surely she should at least be given the same chance to compete as everyone else. And there is no way that anyone should have to drop out because of ridiculous allegations like these ones.

This is one of those cases where I think that the reality in ‘reality tv’ has gone too far. I’m sure that no one is going to actually go through with these threats, but am a little bit confounded as to why people are making them in the first place. And although I think that reality TV has a lot of answer for, in this case it’s the fans that have gone a step too far.

‘I will never manage England’, says Beckham

2010-07-30T05:46:00.000-07:00

David Beckham insists that although he played on the synthetic sports pitch in his day, he will never be manager for the England football team, however he has not ruled out the possibility of playing for England in the 2012 European Championships. By then he would be one of the oldest football players to play for the country at the age 37. In 2010, at age 35, Beckham was unable to play for England at the World Cup due to injuries and instead he acted as a member of England manager Fabio Capello’s staff team. He has been quoted by BBC Sport as saying that he currently has ‘no interest in becoming a coach’ and ‘no interest in being a manager’ for the team and said that England’s poor performance at the World Cup was due to players’ underperformance, rather than management failures. Beckham held firm the view that Capello could not be held responsible for England’s failures and said that the England team ‘just didn’t perform’ to the standards that were required of them in the most competitive sporting event in the world.

Beckham said that he didn’t believe there was any need for any serious changes in the team, however he did highlight that there were a number of new players waiting in the wings, ready to join the England squad in the future. He also did not rule out the possibility of moving into a managerial position at some point in the future and has said that he prefers to coach children rather than adult football players. Beckham also spoke of how he was proud of his record and contribution to English football, which has spanned more than a decade. He would not know whether he would playing in 2012 until nearer the time, saying that circumstances may change over the next few months. However, he was willing to accept the decision by the manager, whether he is picked or not for the next major tournament.

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston sell their engagement news

2010-07-21T03:52:00.000-07:00

The infamous daughter of the Alaskan soccer mum Sarah Palin, Bristol has been rumoured to have been paid $100 000 by Us Weekly for the exclusive announcement of her engagement to her baby-daddy Levi Johnston. This on its own is not that surprising or shocking with the flocks of other pseudo celebrities earning their salary by selling their souls to the tabloids.

What makes this story jucier is the fact that just beforehand Bristol gave an interview to People magazine, who incidentally are Us Weekly’s competitors, but she forgot to mention her engagement. When asked about her relationship with Levi, Bristol was quoted saying "We’re not totally back together, but I’m not ruling it out . . . I don’t want to get into what’s in store for our future because, who knows?"She also hid her left hand in all the pictures for People magazine to hide her engagement ring. How sneaky is that!

It is rumoured that Bristol contacted Us Weekly herself and offered the exclusive engagement story for a bit of cash. I guess you can’t blame the girl - without an education and with a baby in tow she has little chance to succeed in life, so she is making the most of her one moment of fame to try and secure some funds for herself and her baby (hopefully not just for herself to blow on clothes and botox), but it makes you wonder whether her engagement with Levi is genuine or just a ploy to earn the extra cash. If it is the latter, then you have to give the couple their due. Imagine the amount if money they will earn from an engagement, a wedding and then a divorce? Sounds like a great way to exploit their short lived celebrity status to set themselves up for life! But yet it makes you wonder whether the money is worth losing your dignity over.

No one is safe from adultery

2010-05-17T05:29:00.001-07:00

With the talk of so many men in Hollywood committing adultery, and the recent rise in demand for a DNA Test in our country, it is hard to imagine that anyone is faithful anymore. Some of these men are with beautiful, amazing women, and they still are not faithful. They have no answer as to what causes them to cheat but, there are more of them than ever.

Recently a man that was considered an American icon fell from his pedestal. Tiger Woods has ruined the wonderful image that he built for himself over many years. He is married to a beautiful model and still strayed. He cheated with a grand array of women that have nothing in common except the fact that they don’t mind sleeping with a married man as long as he is famous. Tiger is an amazing golfer and was one of the most well known role models ever. Since the news of his many affairs have surfaced many companies will no longer sponsor him because he is not setting an example they want to be associated with.

Sandra Bullock is an amazing, beautiful woman. She is an actress without compare. She has plenty of money, is a wonderful mother, and has a beautiful home. Yet with all of this she still was not safe from the evil of adultery. The husband she adored, Jesse James, cheated on her. She thought that she had a perfect life and then the bottom dropped out. She was crushed by the selfish indiscretions of her husband.

Hollywood has always been corrupt. There have always been sex scandals but now they seem to have overtaken it. Every time you turn on the television or radio it seems there is another case of adultery coming out of Hollywood being discussed in the media. Hopefully the people there will get their acts together and be the role models they are looked at to be.

Ellen Degeneres has been making people laugh for years

2010-04-28T03:59:00.001-07:00

Ellen Degeneres is often first thought of as a talk show host. Now people know her as an American Idol judge. Some people know that she was an actress. Not many remember her as the great stand up comedian that she was.

Ellen Degeneres started stand up comedy in the early eighties. She did the usual jokes about family or friends but was still in the closet. She later had her own sitcom called Ellen. It was a great show that was full of laughs. On the show Ellen came out of the closet. Everyone didn’t know if it was a part of the show or her trying to come out in real life. It was both.

After coming out to the world Ellen went back to stand up comedy with a bang. Her sexuality no longer held her back from speaking about things she knew. She packed audiences and made them roar with laughter. She became a gay icon and a great role model for gays, lesbians, transgender, and straights alike. Her comedy brings people with all different sexual orientations together because funny is just funny, with topics from cartoons to kissing to breast implants this woman can just have them roaring in the stands. She can pack an auditorium full of people and all they do is laugh. She has been called the leader of the gays because gay people find her to be such an inspiration to just be themselves. She has opened many doors for people that have originally thought they were closed.

Her comedy is not biased or prejudice. She does tell stories of some of the prejudice she has received but focuses more on poking fun at herself. We all know that she is quirky but when she tells the stories of some of the silly things she has done your sides hurt from laughing so hard. She is absolutely hysterical and great to go and see.

Shannen Doherty Sued For Taxes??

2010-04-06T08:21:00.001-07:00

Shannen Doherty has been given a $44,000 tax lien by the State of California, according to reports. This tax bill comes days after the actress was the first to be booted off “Dancing With the Stars” on March 22^nd.

Spokespeople and financial advisors for the former Beverly Hills 90210 star has stated that they have only recently become aware of the problem and that the debts will be “taken care of promptly.”

The problems keep adding up for the 38 year old actress, as only a few months ago she was sued by City National Bank for a sum of approximately $85,000. According to the bank, Doherty allegedly failed to make payments on a loan which she agreed to make principle payments on starting on the first of June of last year.

According to court documents, Doherty "made, executed and delivered to City National Bank a promissory note (a contract to provide payment) in the original sum of $90,000.00."

Two months later, Doherty was granted leeway to for her payments, and was given until the first of September to make the payments. However, the star once again failed to meet the deadline.

City National Bank is now allegedly suing the actress for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. They are demanding the total amount of the loan paid back, as well as the accumulated interest as well as court and lawyer fees.

It is unlikely that Doherty will be able to make either problem go away. The accumulated debts will surely be more than the troubled actress can handle, and it would appear that she needed her “Dancing With the Stars” paycheque more now than she ever did before.

Perhaps she can contact some of her “friends” from “90210” to help her out. This is probably unlikely, since she never has been the easiest person to get along with.

Oy Yes, It's 'Hollyoaks'

2010-03-23T03:45:00.000-07:00

I just watched ‘Hollyoaks’ on Channel 4, for the first time in five years, and all it did was show me how old I have got. I noticed over the course of the episode that the cast were regressing in age. Their bright faces and ability to text while conducting a heated argument made me pull out my phone and say, “My goodness–How old am I! This Nokia is five years old!”

I remember back in the day when Hollyoaks was a regular soap. I actually quite enjoyed it, it was any British teenagers dream education. The filming was standard and fine, without any snazziness, and the story-lines were pretty standard love-affairs with the occasional murder spicing things up and providing much needed drama.

Nowadays it’s a murder every day! And the quality of the filming–I mean! It’s as though the cast are made out of best quality china and we haven’t even started on the style yet. Hollyoaks in 2010 certainly has a very modern feel to it–the camera zooms in and out so much that it puts The Bourne Ultimatum to shame on the moving and shaking about front.

Now, I have nothing against any of this ultra-modernism, but it doesn’t accurately reflect an average walk to the shops (unless you’re Katie Price), does it? And that’s my problem with Hollyoaks. It’s just for teenagers! Even those who aren’t teenage look teenage. And I’m fairly certain that if I’m to tune back in in three years time, that will still be the case.

One saving grace is that some of the original cast are still there and yes, they have indeed aged like normal human-beings have a tendency of doing. But still, to me it doesn’t feel like the same soap that started out all those years ago. That makes me old. I think they call that progression, or something–

Fiona Phillips

2010-03-15T09:30:00.001-07:00

I flick through the newspaper, alighting on a page written by Fiona Phillips. I don’t know why this woman infuriates me, but she does. Regularly. This morning she has written a scathing attack on the woman who had an affair with Take That’s Mark Owen. Or one of the women, should I say.

Now, what Mark Owen gets up to in his own time is irrelevant to me, but this weeks newsstands have been rocked by the revelations that pop’s Mr Squeeky Clean, isn’t so clean after all. Me? I couldn’t care less really about his drink problem or his one night stands, or even what his home equity release rate is. It just doesn’t matter to me.

However, what rattles my cage this morning is Ms Phillips banging on about what a nice guy Mark Owen is and how he was forced into these revelations because one of the women he had a fling with was about to break her own story in the papers and Fiona Phillips thinks this is despicable.

Maybe she has a point, I don’t have a very high opinion of people who will sell their souls to the nearest newspaper for a few quid, but let’s get one thing clear, Mark Owen is the one who was cheating on his wife and he was the one drinking copious amounts of booze too. He’s hardly blameless here is he?

What I can’t stand is that Fiona Phillips is actually standing up for him. What about standing up for his wife? What if Fiona’s husband had done this to her? Would she leap to his defence? (Well, she might actually...) I just don’t understand the "Back off, he’s done nothing wrong and women like you make me sick,"mentality of women like Fiona Phillips. Mark Owen has, unfortunately, done plenty wrong so I doubt that it’s very fair for the messenger to be shot. Phillips says that Owen is too nice for his own good and that he hasn’t had a fling since he married last October and that all of his philandering happened before then. Oh that’s all right then.

No wonder so much domestic abuse goes on when there are women like Fiona saying that it’s okay for men to be almost permanently drunk and to sleep around as much as they like. Thanks sister.

First Steps in a Low-Carb World

2010-02-18T09:14:00.001-08:00

The low- carb diet has been around for a very long time and has been praised and panned equally by people looking to fight obesity or for any other medical reason. Many a times than not, it is not the fault of the diet but a proper understanding of it that leads to less than adequate results.

As the name suggests the low-carb diet has reduced carbohydrate content as a result the calorific content is also reduced. This reduction in the calories is compensated to an extent by taking in more proteins. Usually a diet which has less than 50-60% carbohydrate ratio will classify as a low carb diet. However, a person’s sensitivity to carbohydrates may alter this.

Some people follow the thumb rule to cut out all whites like sugars, potatoes, pastas and white rice from their diet when they go for a low carb diet. But there are a lot of white vegetables like onions, cauliflower which are very low carb foods and a great option to eat when on this diet. Find out what can be included and what should be cut down.

The best way to start is to make small and gradual changes in your dietary intake, read up about the diet as much as you can and make a plan that best suits your temperament and needs.

There are many low-carb diets; here are a few of the well known ones:

Atkins
Hampton’s diet
Neanderthin
Rosedale Diet
South Beach Diet
Anne Collins Low Carb Diet

A lot of “diet conscious” people are willing to try out any diet, new or old and equally ready to give it up after a week or two and pan it forever. The only way to make a low-carb diet work is to understand it, plan it and then to stick to it. Don’t give up in between.

By the way, my favourite beauty cosmetician has just opened a clinic for Botox Cheshire, how exciting is that?

Nick Lachey is unable to marry, due to lack of cash?

2010-02-17T03:08:00.001-08:00

Is this at all possible? Well, we know it is. Most famous people aren’t that intelligent. So this should come as no shock to you: Nick Lachey is unable to marry, due to lack of funds!

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo are deeply in love. Insider state that the two have plans for marriage but have insufficient funding for the wedding of their choice. Nick expected his new song called “Coming Up For Air” to pay off, but putting the release on hold, foiled the plans of our economical mastermind. Seeing that this release was put on hold indefinitely, Nick could be in for a long wait. Way to go Nick, putting all your eggs into one basket. Where did the previously earned cash go anyway?

But there’s more. Vanessa in an equally brilliant move, decided to pursue acting and quit her position with MTV. By now it’s painfully clear that it hasn’t worked out quite the way she planned, as she has never been seen in any parts at all. The only parts we did get to see were her sun tanning parts, on the many holidays she took with Nick. Holidays neither had the cash for, but they went anyway.

An inside source claims: "Now they finally decided to be together for all eternity, but the lack of cash coming in foils their plans for having the wedding of their dreams. How very frustrating. Nick wants to provide Vanessa with her dream wedding, but both have no real money flowing in to spend on it".

For some reason we do not sympathize with the two geniuses.

Well here’s a solution for Nick and his bride to be...Have a smaller wedding, come on, if you can’t afford what you want do the next best thing. Well that’s what the rest of us would do. Why spend all that money on an extravagant wedding. Come on guys love does not call upon us to be stupid.

More work related news, I have finally finished all the copy for the vaser liposuction webpage. I am a little conflicted how I feel about this one, any observations or judgements are encouraged

Susan Boyle In Stalker Terror

2010-02-09T01:41:00.000-08:00

Susan Boyle, affectionately known as SuBo by the British media, faced the darker side of fame this week when she returned home from recording a charity single to find an intruder on her stairs. This incident comes just weeks after the singing sensation reported two strangers peering through her back window and has raised fears that Boyle may be gaining her very own celebrity stalkers.

The rise and rise of Susan Boyle has been remarkable. Just twelve months ago she was a spinster living with her cats in a small house in Blackburn, Scotland. Her quirky ways and homely looks had made her a figure of fun to some locals and the only time that she sang was in her local church choir.

In April 2009, however, an appearance on Britain’s Got Talent would change her life for ever. Susan’s unique voice, and her down to earth personality, wowed Simon Cowell and his fellow judges and gained her celebrity fans from Demi Moore to Oprah Winfrey. Even British Prime Minister Gordon Brown voiced his approval. Heading into 2010 Susan Boyle had sold more than 8 million copies of her debut album worldwide and has the world at her feet but she is now finding that superstardom can come at a cost.

Susan had been generously working on Simon Cowell’s ’Helping Haiti’ charity single and returned home with a female friend just before 10pm. After entering her house, Susan noticed a young man, aged around 16, dressed all in black rummaging through her clothes. Seeing that he had been discovered the youth pushed past Boyle and quickly ran away. It is not thought that any goods were stolen but West Lothian police are still looking for the intruder whose motives as yet remain unclear.

Susan Boyle has remained unaffected by fame, and her new riches, and has steadfastly refused to move from her small house. "I’m not going anywhere, nobody’s pushing me out of my house", she said defiantly today.

Family members have expressed deep concern at the frequency with which these incidents are taking place, and have pleaded with her to move to a larger home with increased security to match. Susan’s brother John Boyle has even talked of his worry that she could end up like the tragic John Lennon, shot by a malicious stalker. Thankfully, we are far from that scenario now but it seems time for Susan Boyle to embrace her fame, acknowledge the problems that it can bring and ensure her security is as powerful as her voice!

The Joy Of Jeremy Kyle...

2010-02-01T08:57:00.000-08:00

Right, now I want you to be honest... Have you ever seen ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’? Come on, don’t be shy; we have all seen it at least once.

Personally, I cannot stand it. How this little ‘man-weasel’ has become so popular is completely beyond me, but thousands of people watch his show every day. Scary, isn’t it? Yes, there really are that many TV viewers out there who firmly believe this programme is intelligent entertainment. God help us all.

The other mystery is where they manage to find their ‘guests’. How do ‘Jezza’s’ team actually locate these people? Do they drive around the roughest-looking council estates and look underneath hedges and inside waste bins?

There are several intriguing elements to the show-

· ‘Behind The Scenes’ - When ‘guests’ find that it is all too much for them they will often go ‘backstage’. This is a private place for quiet reflection and confidential one-to-one conversation. The only other people who are present ‘backstage’ are the camera crew, Jezza, Graham and several million viewers. All a bit pathetic and contrived really, but there you go.

· Graham - ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ would not be the same without the presence of ‘The Genius’. If a male chav has a nasty habit of beating his partner with a salad bowl then Graham will always get to the bottom of things. ‘You’re angry, aren’t you?’ It is so easy to see why he’s earned the title of ‘The Genius’; the guy’s as sharp as a knife.

· Methadone Program - This is a favourite treatment which is administered by ‘The Genius’ and his ‘Aftercare Team’. It doesn’t matter what the problem is; shoplifting, cheating or compulsive stamp collecting, a ‘Methadone Program’ is often the answer.

· Jezza’s Catchlines - The wit and wisdom of Jeremy Kyle is talked about by people the world over. He is rich with such gems as; ‘Let’s cut to the chase.’, ‘Well, why didn’t you put something on the end of it then???’, ‘Get off your backside and get a job.’, ‘Look at me. LOOK AT ME!!’, ‘Let’s get those all-important lie detector results.’

TV may be a bit crap, but ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ actually manages to plumb whole new depths.

Ski resorts booking sorted out all of you, I am stoked about our winter trip. I need part of the fee by early next week. Sort yourselves out!

Brangelina Time Is Over!

2010-01-26T02:49:00.000-08:00

Brad Pitt, award winning actor and pin up for women worldwide. Angelina Jolie, blood carrying tatooed goddess with lips as large as a family sized car. When they get together it could only mean one thing: Brangelina was born! A couple so globe-conqueringly famous that only one word was needed for them!

Well now, in a move that will surprise nobody, the Hollywood romance of the noughties is off and Brangelina time looks to be officially over. Rumours of splits have surfaced many times before but the sheer detail of evidence that has now reached my ears means that this time the split is for real. Toast me and butter me and call me a muffin if I am ever wrong!

Brangelina, although never married to each other, have consulted a top LA divorce lawyer and have drawn up an amazing contract that will divide their astonishing £205million fortune equally between them. I understand that Brad will get open access to the couples six children but that they will all live with their mother.

The couple have looked relentlessly miserable in each others company for many months. Neither star could even be bothered to turn up for The Golden Globes, despite Brad’s fim Inglourious being nominated for major awards. At this weeks Hope For Haiti concert, Brad seemed to be more cheerful than we had seen him for a long time. Perhaps that was because Angelina was nowhere to be seen but his charming ex Jennifer Aniston was nearby. There is plenty of mileage left in that relationship, let me assure you!

In recent interviews the always candid Jolie has said that she has difficulty in remaining faithful to one man and that Brangelina often fight and that she rips his shirts in anger. The final straw, as far as I’m concerned, was Brad’s continued sporting of the world’s least flattering beard. How could the world’s prettiest man wear a beard that looks uglier than any seen adorning a sleeping face in Central Park? Angelina seems to have grown tired of trying to kiss something that looks like it has come straight from the Klondike gold rush, and with the size of her lips she is sure to have got a mouthful of the matted grey hair every time that she moved in for a bit of passion.

So, Brad and Angelina are now going their separate ways. Good news for gossip columnists and women everywhere. I must sign off now, I am sure that Angelina is in need of comforting and I know just the man that can give her a shoulder to cry on: sensitive, a good listener and beard free. And I absolutely love tatoos!

Just found this contest where the prize is a bit of time in France and fully paid ski holidays. Everybody must put your names forward, I am really wanting to to win this!

Clash Over Casey Johnson's Dogs Brings the Police

2010-01-12T02:02:00.000-08:00

Casey Johnson, the late heiress is making headlines even after her death and this time for her loved dogs. Casey Johnson died on January 4^th and since then Tila Tequila was looking after her dogs. However Tila Tequila the so called fiancée of Casey Johnson has called over cops at her Los Angeles apartment, claiming that Johnson’s closest friends Nicky Hilton and Bijou Philips were trying to break in.

Reports say that Nicky Hilton and Bijou Philips went to Tila’s house to take custody of Casey‘s dogs and some of Casey Johnson’s personal belongings. When Tila Tequila refused to give them things went ugly and out of control. Tila dialled 911 around 2pm and cops arrived to take charge of the situation.

As referees, the cops handed over the dogs and some belongings that included a Christmas blanket, fur coats, some bathroom products and packages of insulin to Hilton and Philips, as Tila wheeled out these items from the house.

Tila Tequila is of the opinion that Casey Johnson’s friends Hilton and Philips plan to put the dogs to sleep beside Johnson as they simply don’t care about the animals. However, Bijou Philips has commented that no such thing is going to happen.

Hilton has organized a memorial for Casey Johnson in her house and it was attended by Johnson’s family and other close friends including Nicky’s sister, Paris. However, Tequila was not invited and it is quite apparent now why. Various news reports say that Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton and Bijou Philips resented Tila’s relationship with Casey and they were not at all fond of Tila Tequila.

Well the question is did she have a will and if so who gets the dogs. Isn’t it too early for these ladies to be fighting over the dogs. This is so Hollywood, no one care about anyone, and it’s all about them. This is how you know that these women have no class.

2009-12-02T02:42:00.000-08:00

Tom Cruise is (apparently) a sex symbol. He has looks to die for and is adored by women the world over. This is all well and good but can he actually act?

His track record is not exactly impressive. Cruise began with the painfully cheesy ‘Top Gun’. Some people rave about this film but I have never understood why. To me it was a boring film about boring ‘fly boys’. I suppose, if you enjoy the typically non-imaginative Hollywood formula, it was a successful film. Personally I thought that it was bland and rather naff.

Over the years, Mr. Cruise has starred in many other wake-me-up-when-it-is-finally-over movies. You will have to forgive me if I miss any out but it is all so exciting that my memory has been affected. He has given us such groundbreakers as ‘Minority Report’ (which could actually have been quite good if Cruise had simply been substituted with some soap-on-a-rope or something), ‘War of the Worlds’ (aka ‘See if You Can Find 2 Minutes of Movie Without a Silly Mistake’) and ‘Mission (not-entirely-stimulating) Impossible’.

In 1994, Tom Cruise declared himself as being ‘a serious actor’ with the release of ‘Interview with the Vampire’. Having read and fallen in love with the book twice over, I decided it best to give the movie a wide berth... Lestat and Tom did not sit comfortably together in my mind.

Tom might look like a ‘goer’ but I would not actually describe him as having a great deal of screen presence. If you put his charisma into an eggcup then you would still have plenty of room to park your car.

And then, of course, there is the Scientology thing... What kind of fool is into rubbish like that for goodness sake (well, Mimi Rogers, Priscilla Presley, Karen Black, John Travolta...). Oh, well.

Finally before I go, I have just became aware of the fact that I have been glaring at my computer screen for the last few days and am really tired of my House Wallpaper, I think it is time for a revamp, these and more updates coming soon

Great Wooden Actors #2 - The Testosterone Trio.

2009-11-13T03:35:00.000-08:00

It is only fair that ‘actors’ who are basically clones of one another are written about as one ugly lump.

Yes, I am talking about the vastly repulsive and totally uncinemagraphic ‘talent’ that is Steven Segal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Vin Diesel. These chaps are masters of Ju-Jitsu, Karate, kickboxing and cross-stitch. No-one in their right mind would upset one of these human killing machines. Moreover, no-one in their right mind would want to sit through one of their movies...

It is rather strange to think that anyone would actually enjoy watching any one of these three meat-heads kicking ass. What the actual attraction is of a couple of hours of this crap is a bit of a mystery to me. The films in which they feature are merely vehicles that are shaped around their manly fighting/killing skills. There is no actual story, or at least not one that can be taken seriously.

I think that the main purpose of films starring Steven Seagull, Van-Diesel or Jean-Claude Great Dame is to entertain meatheads who are not famous. They are hugely influential when it comes to people mimicking them for anti-social behaviour purposes; many an ASBO could never have been awarded without their valuable input.

Van-Diesel is the newest recruit in the Chuck Norris School of ‘Kick-the-Living-Poo-out-of-You’ and has already become a huge success in such sentimental modern classics as ‘Pitch Black’ and ‘xXx’. The people just cannot get enough of him it would appear.

I recently heard that Steven Segal was rumoured to be interested in doing some Shakespearean theatre, but the person who told me this is now on different medication and has improved tremendously.

So, the only thing left to consider is which of these tough cookies takes the biscuit? Well, if I could bring myself to actually watching them ‘act’ then I may be able to decide...

A Slight on Sly

2009-11-10T07:03:00.000-08:00

If you fancy having a good laugh then read this post called, ‘A Rocky Road to Hollywood’. Sylvester Stallone really is a wally and, as this article proves, it is incredibly easy to take the mickey out of him. How can anyone possibly take this guy seriously anymore? In fact, how could anyone have ever taken this guy seriously?

In my opinion, when you have spent the last thirty years portraying varying degrees of monosyllabic meatheads it is high time to step out of the limelight and hope that people will forget about it all...

Keep a low profile, ‘Sly’; the proper actors are coming to get you!

Great Wooden Actors #1 - Sylvester Stallone.

2009-10-23T06:41:00.001-07:00

Out of all of the modern actors there are a few that I find pretty annoying; and out of those few there are a couple that strike me as being naff. Narrowing things down even further you are quickly left with Sylvester Stallone.

Yes, Sylvester Stallone, the mainstream ‘hard man’ of the eighties and nineties who has given us a long list of really crap films. How can anyone take this guy seriously as an actor? If you have been unfortunate enough to have seen him ‘act’ in any of his movies then you will know exactly what I am talking about. Let me put it this way; if Sylvester Stallone and Homer Simpson were both nominated for an Oscar in the same film then Homey could eat his donuts without any fear of getting indigestion.

I suppose you have to give some credit to ‘the Italian stallion’ though because-

No, I’m sorry; I just can’t give him any credit. It is just impossible. And fancy being known as the Italian stallion for God’s sake. If people called me that then I would stay indoors!

I have heard rumours that when the stallion reprised his tear-jerking role as ‘Rocky’ (another absolutely ridiculous name), for the twenty-eighth film of the franchise, they had to use CGI techniques on his flabby torso. It is also understood that anti aging skin care products were in good supply.

Apparently Mr. Stallone is a huge ‘sex symbol’. I find this a tad difficult to believe. How can women be attracted to a drooling, mono-syllabic creature that is happiest when stuck to a windowpane with his swollen and sulky-looking lips? Perhaps it was a misprint; yes, that’s it, a misprint. For a moment there the planet was turning the other way and I was in a parallel dimension...

Learning About Lindsay.

2009-10-22T03:36:00.001-07:00

When I saw this blog I read it purely because I had never heard of Lindsay Lohan. I am all for trying to educate myself when I am surfing the net and I was suddenly very concerned that I was not up to date with the world of glitz, glamour and all things celebrity.

After reading this post (and also checking Wikipedia) I was suddenly back with the times. Now I know exactly who Lindsay Lohan is and what she is doing with herself.

The internet is not just great for learning new things; it can also help people (like me) to get with the times...

Regardless, I think that I could have lived without Lindsay Lohan in my life, I think I will just stick with Lisa Edelstein thanks!

Some Facts About Acne Scars

2009-04-24T05:52:00.000-07:00

Acne is a skin problem that hounds not only teenagers but some adults as well. Oil glands in the skin discharge sebum which is an oily substance. Sometimes sebum is spilled under the skin due to breakage in the wall of the gland and mixes with bacteria and dirt causing inflammation or swelling and redness in the skin, which then goes on to form pimples or acne. Generally the face is affected by acne but sometimes acne may appear on the back and chest. Treatment of acne is a painstaking procedure, but your main problem and misery starts once you are over with your acne, because it leaves behind scars which can be really deep and ugly. The depth of the acne scars depends on the skin type and varies from person to person. There are different types of treatment for acne scars depending on the type of the skin and depth of the scars. There are generally following types of acne scars:

1. Acne scars are caused due to increase in the tissue formation of the skin known as keloid and hypertrophic scars. Keloid scars are genetic in nature.
2. Acne scars also occur due to decrease in tissue formation, which means collagen build up is less in the skin. This type of acne scar is quiet common.
3. Acne scars which are large in size with sharp sides and razor-sharp margins are known as depressed fibrotic. Their appearance is similar to chicken pox.
4. Flat scars which are soft, with violet or bluish color are termed as Atrophic macules.They fade with time.
5. Acne scars which vary in size and have edges which are sloping are known as deep soft and superficial scars.
A person can seek treatment like laser treatment and dermabrasion for the removal of acne scars.

Tips For Keeping Your Pores Clean and Clear

2009-04-02T02:46:00.000-07:00

While it is important to make sure that you are taking the proper steps needed in order to treat any current acne you have, it is more important to make sure that you are properly ensuring that your pores remain clear. In order to prevent acne from coming back, you have to make sure that your pores are clean and clear. It is the clogged pores that causes such blemishes so making sure that you are keeping your skin properly clean is extremely important.

Everyone already knows that you should be washing your face in the morning and in the evening but what about the other steps to take? For the women out there, it is important to avoid makeup as much as possible. When it is used, make sure that you are properly washing it off of your face just as soon as you can. It is also a good idea to make sure that you are keeping your hands away from your face. Also, make sure that you are changing your pillow cases at least two to three times a week in order to reduce the amount of dirt and oil buildup on the pillow.

Make sure that you are keeping the telephone handset as clean as possible. The bacteria that can be phone on a dirty handset can transfer to your skin during use and cause your face and pores to become overloaded with bacteria. Be sure to reduce the amount of stress in your life and drink plenty of water. By following these tips in combination with a healthy diet and exercise routine, you will see a fresher looking face in the mirror in no time at all. Don't underestimate the importance of the exercise either. Taking up something you genuinly enjoy like horse riding or rock climbing are good ways of ensuring you do this regularly. So what are you waiting for? A healthy and clear complexion is waiting for you so start treating your skin the way it should be treated and protected.

Becoming Younger Again with Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum

2009-02-16T02:04:00.000-08:00

Have you tried dozens of anti-wrinkle creams without getting any positive results? Perhaps you have become so frustrated that you’ve decided that over-the-counter creams just aren’t where it’s at if you want to get rid of wrinkles. Well, fret not as there is an anti-cream so powerful that it actually does what it promises. This cream is known as Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum.

Okay– I know the name is not the snazziest in the world, but that’s not what matters here. What does matter is what’s inside the serum. In fact, the ingredient combination found in the Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum is so unique I highly doubt you’ll find them anywhere else. Why? What other anti-wrinkle cream has gold in it?

You read that right! Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum actually uses real 14-karat gold flakes to help eliminate your wrinkles. They do this by drawing out toxins that are found on the surface on your skin. From there, the Serum’s collagen-building ingredients begin infiltrating your skin’s cells. Then, after a month or so, the collagen fibers within your skin get rebuilt, which straightens out your wrinkles.

So, how much does Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum cost? Ultimately, it will depend on where you buy it from. But it is possible to get Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum for as low as £19.98, (or $28.95 in U.S. dollars). Such a price is definitely not bad, as some wrinkle creams have been known to go over £34.50. At only £19.98, the cream costs about the same amount as any other brand that you could get over-the-counter.

As far as actually buying the cream, Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum is widely available online. And, unlike other brands of wrinkle cream, Anti-Wrinkle 55 Serum can be found at outlets that cater to an international audience. So, non-US residents don’t have to forego the Serum’s wondrous benefits.

How to Eliminate Stretch Marks

2009-02-12T04:24:00.000-08:00

When the skin stretches out too quickly, the collagen becomes damaged. As a result, stretch marks develop. What are stretch marks? They are the scarred, rigid lines that cause dread in any woman who is experiencing pregnancy or weight gain. And the reason why is because unlike regular bruises, stretch marks are dark and raised. So, makeup won’t do anything to hide them. Plus, they tend to stay around for a long time– unless you do something to stop them.

With that being said, what can you do to eliminate stretch marks once and for all? First, you need to take measures to rejuvenate your skin’s collagen production. Cocoa butter does wonders for this, especially for women who cannot afford expensive skin creams. If you then buy your cosmetics online the price drops even further. I myself use cocoa butter on my own stretch marks, and I have noticed that over the past few months they are starting to reduce in size.

However, cocoa butter alone will only get you so far when it comes to getting rid of stretch marks. You need to also think about the pigmentation problem, (as the dark pigmentation often makes stretch marks appear worse than what they really are). This is where skin lighteners come in. Their specialized ingredients will help even out the dark areas on your stretch marks, (even if they can’t get rid of their rigidness).

Finally, you need to consider doing weight-lifting. Why weight-lifting over other exercises? Well, weight-lifting builds muscle, which will help eliminate some of the fat cells that harm your skin’s collagen. Other exercises may burn calories but not fat, which is the main offender when it comes to stretch marks.

In conclusion, don’t think that stretch marks are something you have to live with forever. By following some of the suggestions in this article, you can get your hips, arms and stomach just as smooth as they were before your pregnancy or weight gain.

Nair vs. Shaving: Which is Better for Hair Removal?

2009-02-04T09:04:00.000-08:00

What can a woman do if she wants to get rid of unwanted hairs? Well, laser surgery will remove them permanently, but the procedure can be really expensive for those with limited budgets. The same can also be said for professional waxing, (which needs to be applied more often than laser procedures). This leaves two other options: chemical-based solutions, (such as Nair), or shaving.

Which of these options are better? It depends on what you’re after. I have found that Nair removes significantly more hair, while smoothing out your skin. And, since Nair involves no shaving, you don’t have to worry about accidentally cutting yourself.

However, Nair is not always the best choice if you want to remove hair around your bikini area, or worse, your private parts. This is because the solution burns like crazy. It can also cause an infection if it happens to get inside your vaginal area.

So, in that situation, I would suggest shaving over Nair, though you still have to be careful. Since shaving usually involves shaving cream, you could still risk an infection, (even if shaving cream contains fewer chemicals than Nair). And, there’s also the possibility that you could cut yourself.

Of course, even if you’re not shaving your nether regions, consider that shaving cream usually has a much more pleasant smell than Nair. The last thing you want is to smell like chemicals, a consequence that is possible with Nair lotions. True, the smell doesn’t last long, but with traditional shaving you don’t have it at all.

One should also consider the cost associated with Nair vs. shaving. Nair costs $7 per bottle while a set of razors and shaving cream will cost you around that same amount. But with the latter, you’ll be able to shave for a longer period of time. Also consider too that if you’re in a bind you can use soap as your shaving cream. Granted, it’s not a preferred method, but as long as you’re careful it can still be very effective. What ever you choose out of these two, both of them are cheaper than the home laser hair removal equivilant such as a Tria. Whilst effective, a Tria is going to set you back £675 and that's a good deal on one of those. If you have the money, it may be worth spending on, if you don't, you now know your options.

The choice is yours!

PS - I thought I'd use a picture of a man instead of a woman this time. It brings the message across, but is a little more pleasant on the eyes for us!

Best Ways For Acne Treatment

2009-01-13T02:57:00.000-08:00

Best Ways For Acne Treatment

There are numerous products in the market that claim to treat acne. With so many of them, it is difficult to understand which ones actually work and which ones are fakes. Acne treatment is a very sought after treatment by both men and women. Most of the acne treatments limit to cleansing the outer surface of the skin. They do not attack the root problem of acne. You must therefore look for those products which eliminate the source of acne and also prevent it from further outbreak. A typical acne treatment set will be composed of a cleanser, clearing tonic, a serum and a pores serum.

If you feel that your acne problem is getting worse, it is better if you consult your health care provider. A professional dermatologist will be able to guide you well. If you have mild acne problem, then this can be treated with the help of over-the-counter drugs. You must wash the face at least twice a day with the help of lukewarm water and gentle soap. Over-the-counter drugs that contain salicylic acid can be used. These should be applied during the night time, just before going to bed. These are easily available at pharmacies. These act by removing the infected epidermal layer. During the time when you are applying this medication, it is essential that you take proper measures to protect your skin from sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Topical solutions do not have magical effects and it may take some time before visible results are seen.

In case you have acne which cover more than 50% of your face then you must consult a dermatologist for their removal. At times doctors will prescribe you with medication which is simple but at times a combination of several treatments may be required. Acne treatment is not only skin specific, it is age specific too.

Effective Cellulite Treatment: It’s Just Not As Simple As Cottage Cheese

2009-01-12T08:47:00.000-08:00

With 80% of womankind trying out everything they can to rid themselves of that bunched up fat under the skin cellulite treatment could just be a national pastime of sorts. Cellulite is known by many names such as orange peel syndrome, cottage cheese skin, mattress phenomenon, and hail damage.

The best way to treat cellulite is to adopt a three pronged strategy:

Diet

Exercise

Specific treatment

The first two of these cellulite treatments are pretty much straightforward.

Eat a well balanced diet which is rich in fiber and antioxidants and low in salt. The lesser the fat in your diet, the lesser the chances for accumulation under the skin, or anywhere else! It is a good idea to detoxify your body while cutting down on nicotine and caffeine. Onion is a good diuretic, it helps to release excess water and cleanse your body.

Exercise, especially which is targeted towards the fat in your legs and buttocks will help build muscle and smoothen out those ugly dimples in those areas. Brisk walking, cycling or yoga - regular exercise will increase circulation which is very good for treating cellulite.

Now for the specific treatments for cellulite:
Try a body brush, or an exfoliator regularly to reduce cellulite. Firm yet gentle dry skin brushing before your bath every morning is especially effective.

Use a good cellulite cream which has ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, green tea extract, pentapeptides, coenzyme Q10 and caffeine.

Rubbing warm coffee grounds on the skin and then covering with a wrap for 20 minutes is another effective cellulite treatment. You just need to shower after that.

A brisk massage with coconut oil is also a good home remedy for cellulite.

Lipodissolve removes cellulite from specific locations with injections of a mixture of compounds.

Endermologie is another clinical treatment which uses rollers to massage the skin.

If you are looking for a treatment for cellulite you must remember that there is no permanent cure, even those given at clinics and spas. With a combination of diet, exercise and some good home remedy you could yourself manage cellulite within reasonable limits. Just remember that you need to be regular with the cellulite treatment to see results.

Getting Smoother Thighs with Revitol Cellulite Cream

2009-01-11T03:44:00.000-08:00

Cellulite is a problem faced by all women, even those who are smaller in size. Just look at some of the embarrassing paparazzi photos of celebrities who are size 2 or smaller. And, if you are average-sized or full-figured, cellulite becomes more noticeable because of the increased amount of fat around the thighs and buttocks.

So, what can a woman do to get rid of cellulite? Some automatically think their weight is a problem, so they go to the gym in hopes of exercising the fat away. Well, while exercise is an excellent way to prevent future cellulite from forming, it can’t do anything with your existing cellulite. This is because cellulite consists of bonded fats deep within the skin. Regular exercise cannot breakup these fats, unless your workout is so vigorous it is converting the fat into muscle. And this is not usually possible without dedicating several hours to weight-lifting and other strenuous exercises.

If you cannot exercise that intensely, you could try a Cellulite treatment, but you would probably need several of those to see any results or you could consider another alternative: cellulite cream such as Revitol. What is good about Revitol cellulite cream is that it works quickly, removes toxins that are in your fat cells, helps increase local metabolism so more fat is burned and decreases the size of your fat storage cells.
Most cellulite creams use other ingredients such as caffeine, however Revitol works just as well without it. It also uses a compound called Retinol A which is actually a derivative of Vitamin A. This essential compound conditions and strengthens your skin and connective tissue while it rejuvenates your skin.

In conclusion, Revitol cellulite cream is a good way for treating the infamous “cottage cheese” dimples that virtually every woman gets. This is not to say that you should eliminate diet and exercise from your routine. In fact, these things are still important for preventing cellulite formation in the first place. But if you want to do something for your existing cellulite, cellulite creams are the way to go.

Restoring Youthfulness through Brow Lift Surgery

2009-01-06T05:08:00.000-08:00

The main aim of brow lift surgery is to replace the sagging eyebrows in a natural way. The droop and sag of eyebrows imparts a disgruntled appearance to the face. Brow lift surgery focuses on minimizing the creases, wrinkles and folds along the eye brow region on the face. It also alters the area at the nose bridge and between the eyes. The technique works well on the frown lines that develop with the passage of time. Basically this surgery pulls back the sagged skin to its correct place.

Before carrying out a brow lift surgery, a trained plastic surgeon has to assess several aspects such as:

· Your skin type
· The degree of furrows present in the forehead
· The quantity of skin present in the upper eyelids
· The positioning of the eyebrows
· The hairline location

The most remarkable feature of brow lift surgery is that it bestows a more youthful and fresh look without causing any hair loss and there is also no need to make a number of incisions in the treatment area. A few scars can be seen only in rare cases.
Anyone who wishes to undergo this surgery must not be associated with any existing medical conditions and should be in proper and good health. Irrespective of the reason for undergoing brow lift surgery, you should choose an experienced, trained and qualified plastic surgeon.

Acne and Scars? No Worries!

2009-01-02T02:41:00.000-08:00

Of late, have you been ignoring the acne on your face? Have friends or family members tried to helpfully provide medicinal tips to deal with your acne? The wisest thing to do is to diagnose the cause of your acne, because if left untreated it may lead to pitting scars on your face.

Like any disease, many people around the world are affected by this condition. Acne also commonly affects teenagers and people aged 25 to 30 and 80% of the victims are women. Nobody likes to have any scars on their bodies, let alone the face which is the most visible part, and the appearance of acne scars can be quite distressing for those affected. The good news is it can be treated when properly diagnosed and when medication is taken on time as per the dosage prescribed by a GP or dermatologist.

Not all acne leads to scarring, as many would assume. Some people need mild treatment, like avoiding direct sunlight and by taking lots of water, while others may require medical treatment depending on the severity.

Though some opt for alternative medicines, allopathic is one of the most preferred medicines for acne and scars. It is recommended that you consult with your doctor about the potential side effects of any medication before consuming the dosage as some people may be prone to them.

Your diet and food habits can be one of the primary causes for acne. Occasional intake of fried and oily food is fine in moderation but when it becomes a habit your skin starts showing damaging symptoms. It’s a good habit to keep track of your food intake and avoid those foods that your body rejects. Remember - prevention is better than cure.

Diminish Acne With Natural Skin Treatments

2008-12-09T01:46:00.000-08:00

For those of you who suffer with acne prone skin, there is hope out there to diminish your acne and regain a clear complexion. Many people turn to an acne treatment such as lotions or cleansers to fight their acne, but there are more natural waysto help. These ways are as simple as changing your diet.

Believe it or not, coffee is a big promoter of acne and should be limited. What coffee does is stimulate the production of cortisol, which is a type of steroid. If you must drink coffee, try to limit it to no more than one to two cups a day. Less if possible. Some herbal teas are a better choice, especially green tea or white tea. Try a cup of these brews instead.

Another method for people with acne prone skin is to keep a well balanced diet. Your diet has major affects on your skin. A good diet which includes eating food rich in antioxidants like fruits and vegetables are very helpful in diminishing the outbreaks of acne and blemishes.

Smokers are at higher risk of having acne. Studies have shown that people who smoke have a higher probability to get acne than non smokers. Avoid smoking if at all possible to help decrease the chances of getting this skin condition.

Another huge promoter of acne is stress. When your body is under stress, it produces hormonal steroids which are known to cause skin problems such as acne prone skin. It is obvious that you cannot avoid all stressful situations, however you can try simple techniques to stay calm during these times like take a few deep breaths or counting to ten. Your skin will thank you for it.

If worse comes to worse and these natural acne preventers are not working, then chances are you will need to find a reliable acne treatment. This is where acne fighting cleansers and lotions will come in handy. They have a daily skin care regimen that you can follow to prevent and cure acne blemishes. You can use these treatments along with the natural methods above to ensure soft, smooth skin.

The Why And How Of Tummy Tucks (abdominoplasty)

2008-11-20T06:05:00.000-08:00

We live in a fast moving world that demands immediate attention to one’s problems and speedier gratification of woes. And personal gratification abounds especially in areas that concern one’s personality. Thus, it is no wonder that men and women crave for beauty more than life itself and having an enviable body is what every person, young or old, dreams of having. Among the myriad of beauty enhancing tips and medications, the tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, redresses the need for quick and easy flattening of one’s tummy by surgery.
What is not possible immediately by exercise or weight control is now suddenly made possible by something known as the tummy tuck surgery.

A tummy tuck surgery removes excess fat and skin and also restores those muscles that are weakened or separated. These are usually caused by pregnancy, aging, significant fluctuations in weight, heredity and past surgeries. The operation by itself lasts between 2 to 5 hours while recovery is usually within 2 to 4 weeks depending upon the individual. Strenuous activities can be undertaken only after 4 to 6 weeks and fading and flattening of the scars require about 3 months to 2 years.

There may be side effects like temporary pain, bruising, swelling, soreness or numbness and may last up to several weeks or several months. It is however, technically perfect and long lasting. Yet there is a note of caution here. After a tummy tuck surgery a person should be wary of any major fluctuations in body weight. This could negate any benefits experienced after the surgery.

In spite of all the advantages of tummy tuck surgery, a great deal of risk is also associated with it. Factors like blood clots, infections, poor healing and skin loss could become aggravated depending upon the individual. A poor post surgical performance can even lead to a second surgery. Again, it is not a real substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program and is only a short cut to a flat stomach.

Skin Care for Dry Skin Problems

2008-10-17T03:58:00.000-07:00

Dry skin can give a very coarse and rough look to your skin and can be very difficult to treat. There could be various reasons for the dry skin problems, from the diet taken, hereditary problems, dehydration, climatic changes, and many more. The skin gets dehydrated very quickly and after washing tends to tighten up. Here are a few things you can do to treat your dry skin and have beautiful looking skin

Quit using tap water to wash your face at it does more damage by making our skin drier due to the deposits in them. Making use of mineral water under such circumstances is the best possible solution after which the entire skin should be carefully and gently patted dry with a soft towel or cloth.

The combination of hard water and harsh soaps are very detrimental for anyone with dry skin problems, as they seem to remove the little amount of sebum and moistness present on the skin’s surface. Using moisturizers allows you to replenish the skin pores with the water, whereas the natural oils present protect the outer surface.

Regular moisturizing and massaging of the skin may do it some good by stimulating the glands and keeping the skin supple. Generous amount of cleansing with oily products will help the skin to get replenished with the sustenance that it had been craving for.
It would be a good idea to apply baby oil on your skin before moving into the shower, as it is the best kind of help for an individual serious about dry skin care.

It is necessary to moisturize your skin twice daily, so that the skin gets lesser chance to dry out.

There are several different dry skin care methods and products around so it is up to you to choose the best among these solutions that is right for you. Whatever products you choose must be selected carefully and their use stopped immediately if any side effects are noticed.

Bare Minerals Makeup (fine for acne prone skin)

2008-10-17T03:26:00.000-07:00

I have been using the Bare Minerals makeup system for several years now. I could not ask for a better product that suits me! It is a very light makeup that feels light on your face but just adds an overall glow and accent to you. My favorite aspect of it is that it takes me all of five minutes to put on. Plus, there is no intricate application– a brush here, a brush there, and you are absolutely glowing.

The only disadvantage I would list about this product is it can be a bit pricey if you have not been a big makeup wearer in the past. Personally, I used to get whatever was on sale at Walgreens and wear that. However, for the investment, you get a full kit that looks better and feels better than any of those stores have.

The BareMinerals base foundation includes SPF 15 and is supported by the Skin Cancer Institute. The Mineral Veil is the finishing product that just makes you look “glowy” and warm. With my old makeup, if I was in a hurry, it always looked like I was putting it on sloppy. With the BareMinerals kit, even a hurried brush looks pretty darn good, if I must say so myself. It just makes me light up!

This may sound silly to some of you child-less people out there, but this stuff is completely non-toxic. Alright, my kids are a bit adventurous and like to put on mommy’s makeup sometimes. Well, when it is ALL OVER their face, I am not really concerned about their safety because the BareMinerals set is all natural ingredients. It sticks true to its namesake but keeping minerals in the ingredient list and nothing else.

Even though I am getting older, I have acne prone skin. I tend to have acne breakouts once or twice a month. The Bare Minerals set does come with a concealer that blends the redness, so the puffy redness is not noticeable. With most concealers, there is a “heaviness” problem in that it feels like you are wearing a brick on your face. The concealer, like the foundation, is light as air.

Skin Care

2008-03-27T02:35:00.000-07:00

I am one of those unlucky people who suffer from dry skin. This, in fact, is a problem I've had from a very early age. When I was young, I suffered from Eczema, which caused both myself, and my parents, a lot of concern - it was a daily regiment of ointments and bathing in special solutions. I won't go into any horrible details but, needless to say, it was far from pleasant. Nowadays, I'm happy to say, this condition has all but disappeared. The after-effect of this, however, means that most of the time I get very dry skin.

A friend of mine with similar problems, has been using dermatitis treatment with Gloves in a Bottle, and supplementing it with Skin MD Natural shielding lotion. They've reported back great results, so that's something I'm definately going to have to look in to.

Exercise/Massage your Face for a more Youthful Look!

2007-11-30T09:06:00.001-08:00

When you’re engaged in your daily facial skincare routine, you might like to consider adding a little bit of exercise to the process. Whether you call it facial yoga or facial exercises, you should find that spending the small amount of additional time it takes to complete these does help to tone up the muscles in your face, and so help you in a crusade to maintain a youthful appearance.

The exercises only take a few minutes and they are quite simple to complete. Some of the exercise involve you using your hands/thumbs to stretch the skin – for example sliding your thumbs between the corners of your eyes and your temples (eyes closed of course) to aid in your fight against lines created by crow’s feet, or by shaping your mouth in various poses – such as making an exaggerated kiss or pout to make the muscles work and so tone them up. There are websites and books that you can look at to see how to do these simple exercises, or if you have a regular facial from a beautician you could ask them to show you any exercises that they think might help with any specific areas you are concerned about.

Although there are mixed opinions as to whether or not these exercises do benefit the skin, if you use a moisturizer at the same time (no skin on your body should be dragged so the cream or lotion will help your hands glide across your face so you can gently stretch it) you are not only doing the exercises, but as you work the exercises, you will work the moisturizer deeper into the skin and so it will hydrate the skin making it plumper.

Whether or not you believe the exercises will work, you will find that they do mean you are giving yourself a mini facial massage, and this has the added benefit of relaxing you. The massage stimulates the facial blood vessels and relaxes the muscles so that it improves the skin’s elasticity. This should help you keep any wrinkles or lines at a distance, or improve the appearance of any you already have. Use an aromatherapy moisturizer for an even more relaxing experience as you exercise and massage your way to younger looking skin.

Anti Aging Injections

2007-09-10T09:20:00.000-07:00

There are many ways of helping to maintain your youthfull looks. Creams, diet, changing the very lifestyle you lead is exteem but proven to work. If you however are in a business enviroment where you your time is limited but you have a little more money to spend, you might want to think about having anti aging treatmets, such as botox injections or perlane or restylane. While these are more expensive than creams or exercise (which is free) it certainly takes the hard work out of looking young.
I found an interesting video of about it on you tube, I'll add it below for any of you readers who might consider this as an option.

Effect of Stress on Skin

2007-08-02T05:25:00.001-07:00

Stress is a necessary evil of everyone’s life. All of us have to bear stress at one time or other of our’s life. Whether you're stressed about your job, a family member's health, a crumbling marriage or your first child going off to college, stress has a sneaky way of showing up on your face and skin. Think of it as your body's way of communicating what's going on inside to the outside world. There's even a name for it: psychodermatology.

Studies find that stress triggers 62 percent of psoriasis episodes (an inflammatory skin condition), with flares occurring within days of the emotional upset. Most hyperhidrosis episodes (in which you sweat excessively) are related to stress, and 94 percent of episodes in women with rosacea—a skin condition marked by excessive redness and bumps on the face—have an emotional trigger. Thus, you can see the very strong mind/body connection that exists between our emotions and our skin health. The connection is probably related to the immune system and the way it reacts to stress. Short bursts of stress—like those from a good workout—can improve your skin. But, when you're exposed to chronic stress—stress that just won't stop—or a lot of stress all at once, your immune system can get overloaded. The result? Negative effects on your skin. So it's important you learn to recognize the stressors in your life and modify your reactions to them. Relaxation techniques, biofeedback and breathing training can help you cope better with life stresses and reduce their effects on your skin.

Do you have Vitiligo .. leucoderma ?

2007-06-14T02:16:00.001-07:00

It is a common skin disorder, in which white spots or patches, caused by destruction or weakening of the pigment cells in those areas, appear on the skin.

The first sign of vitiligo is appearance of white patches or spots (depigmentation) on the skin. The skin remains of normal texture, and there is usually no itching or other symptom. These patches are common in sun-exposed areas, including the hands, feet, arms, legs face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches to appear are the armpits and groin and around the mouth, eyes, nostrils, navel, and genitals.

In addition to white patches on the skin, vitiligo may result in white hair growing in on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard. In extremely rare cases, vitiligo can affect eye color or the pigment of the retina.

The depigmentation can be either limited to one or only a few areas , or on only one side of the body, or on different parts of the body.

Taking Care of Moles

2007-06-06T04:05:00.001-07:00

Most of us have moles some where on our body (including torso, face, arms and legs or at obscure locations such as the scalp, under the nails, in the armpits and around the genitals) they are usually harmless collections of pigmented cells called melanocytes on the skin. Moles can be cancerous in rare cases.

Most moles are harmless and don't require special care. If a mole is irritating or unattractive, however, one can get it removed. All moles that are removed should be examined under a microscope because doctors can't always tell if moles are pre-cancerous or cancerous just by the way they look on the skin. One should monitor moles for changes in size, shape, colour, texture and sensation that may indicate a problem. To take care of moles, the following can be done:

Avoid sun exposure; apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 to minimize the risk of skin cancer.
Wear the protective clothing like hats, long sleeves to avoid sunrays that damage the skin.
Makeup can be used to conceal an unattractive mole.
Some times there is hair on the moles, these can be either trimmed or permanently removed.

Care should be taken while cutting a mole; the area around the mole should be clean. A dermatologist should be consulted if the mole doesn’t heal properly

Kate Bosworth nipple slip

2007-05-08T02:23:00.001-07:00

Kate Bosworth was spotted leaning over some person's baby with her nipple possibly showing. Nobody was able to tell for sure, but than again, the existence of the actual boob, where the nipple would be located, is doubtful! I mean the woman is wearing a sleeveless top, that should be tight and when she leans, there is so much space between her and the top, that you can stick a log through there! There are only two types of women in this world: there are the ones with big boobs, highly appreciated in society, and the ones with no boobs who always get made fun of! And, sadly, Kate, you are being laughed at! The fact that you were unable to develop big boobs, and still became famous, will be severally punished! As up to this point, for the rest of the time people will know your name, everybody will be laughing at you for having such small boobs! And such small nipples! And you can’t even get a good nipple slip with what you got!

Anastacia looks pretty good in a bikini

2007-05-06T08:30:00.001-07:00

Anastacia was spotted in Mauritius Lounging around in her bikini. Now, Anastacia isn’t very famous, she has few music videos and the style she uses doesn’t appeal to the majority. But the important thing is that she has big boobs and she exposes them well in a bikini. That’s why paparazzi take pictures of her, and that is why I’m writing this article! It doesn’t take much to get attention, otherwise nobody would have heard about Anastacia unless maybe she came up with a cure for cancer! But that would be an ideal world where Paris Hilton would like to keep a low profile, Lindsay Lohan would be an Amish virgin and Britney Spears would be introduced to birth control! Yet, nothing is fair and thus the fact that Anastacia gets pictures taken of her in a bikini is very interesting! The world is coming to an end and I honestly can’t wait!

Self-care for dermatitis

2007-04-29T05:03:00.001-07:00

Red, cracked, itchy or sore hands could be more than just a cold-weather dry skin problem. It could be a sign of dermatitis.

Hand dermatitis is characterised by flare-ups of itchy, sore skin that is red, brown or grayish in colour. In some cases, the skin may also be swollen and develop blisters and sores. But it is easily treatable with self-care, or medications. Hand dermatitis comes in various forms, including contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis is a reaction to some cell-damaging irritant or allergen such as soap, perfume, cosmetics or cleaning products.

Dyshidrotic dermatitis usually occurs in response to stress and is characterised by a rash that typically starts on the sides of the fingers as small, itchy bumps, but can affect the feet as well as the hands.

Atopic dermatitis indicates an allergy to something in the environment and may occur together with symptoms of asthma or hay fever. This condition is usually genetic, and may also be particularly severe during the winter months. It is not limited to hands. It can affect just about any area of the body, although it usually affects the skin in the bend of the elbow and the back of the knees.

Researchers from the University of Kansas Medical Center found that this condition affects about 10 per cent of women and 5 per cent of men in the US, and as many as one in three healthcare workers and cosmetologists whose hands are in frequent contact with water. The disease can be very disabling, depending on its severity. It can also have an emotional impact, due to the stress that can be caused just by the prospect of shaking hands with another individual.

People affected by the condition should refrain from washing hands too frequently to avoid the progression of hand dermatitis. Affected individuals should use lukewarm or cool water when washing hands or bathing, they should use a hypoallergenic soap, and should frequently apply a moisturizing cream or ointment.

Prescription treatment is also available for those severely affected by hand dermatitis. Corticosteroid-containing ointments or lotions can provide some relief of itching as well as treat inflammation. Antihistamines and oral corticosteroids are also available to help ease intense itching or swelling. In any case a dermatologist should be consulted before taking any treatment.

Are We Skin Washed or Brain Washed?

2007-04-24T03:41:00.001-07:00

Walking around the beauty counters at the department store I have to wonder how much of the information we are being fed about skincare is actual fact, and how much of it is money-making hype. We are told to cleanse, tone and moisturize – that means that we need to buy 3 products, none of which could be called cheap and many of which could fund a small deposit on a house! Looking back to the days of our grandmothers, and even our mothers, they did perfectly fine with old fashioned soap and water, and witch-hazel if a little “extra” help was required.

I think women today are being brain washed into thinking that our skin needs these chemicals, when in fact, what it needs is good nutrition! If you eat and sleep right, your skin will reflect that. Increase your drinking water intake and you’ll see just as big an improvement as the top skincare manufacturers tell you their product will achieve. It’s not a good shopping life.

I’m occasionally tempted by a pretty little pot of cream, but it’s the packaging that lures me into the purchase. I’m sure that my diet and drinking water intake do far more good than a potion or lotion ever could!

Surveillance team for Nicole Kidman

2007-04-24T01:25:00.001-07:00

Nicole Kidman, (40), is now having a surveillance team which is located outside her Sydney mansion, to provide her with 24 hour close observation, as she is worried for her own safety.

Fox Studios, who care a lot for their leading lady, has ordered the security guards to protect her from the paparazzi.The security team is parking in a solar-paneled mini-van with tinted windows outside of Kidman’s Darling Point estate, with open eyes on every move of the paparazzi, who hang around her.

The van will stay, as long as Kidman is in Australia, for her latest role in the film of the director Baz Luhrmann “Australia”. Production will begin next week and Kidman is intending to stay in her home country for the rest of the year.

Do you think that Kidman will pay from her own cash to keep the security with her after the movie is finished?! Or does she feel safer in the US?! It’s known that she is Australian but has dual citizenship of Australia and the United States.

Microsoft launched Windows XP and Office for US $3

2007-04-20T01:41:00.001-07:00

Microsoft has launched an inexpensive educational software package available to governments that purchase and supply computers directly to primary and secondary students for their personal use at home and for schoolwork. It will be released in the second half of 2007 and will be sold for mere US$3 to qualifying governments. The product release is part of the expansion of Microsoft’s Unlimited Potential program. The package includes Windows XP Starter Edition, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, Microsoft Math 3.0, Learning Essentials 2.0 for Microsoft Office and Windows Live Mail desktop.

Microsoft founder and Chairman Bill Gates has made this announcement in Beijing, China and said that the expansion of Unlimited Potential will focus on three areas: education, innovation, and jobs and economic opportunity. This means that that will help bring social and economic opportunity to about five billion people who are not yet realizing the benefits of technology.

"Over time, students won't need to have textbooks. The cost of (the tablet) will be less than buying textbooks, and yet the experience of using it is dramatically superior to what you would have had with a paper-based experience," Gates said.

Microsoft and others are working hard to reach out to the developing world through lower-cost technologies such as cell phones and television to provide basic computing and educational opportunities, according to Gates.

Incessant Swelling of Migrants Population- A Danger in coming??

2007-04-19T11:28:00.001-07:00

There was a net increase of 185,000 in Britain's population due to immigration in 2005- the equivalent of an extra 500 people a day, according to official figures published today. The Office of National Statistics estimate that 565,000 migrants arrived in Britain in 2005 intending to stay for at least a year. This is the second highest total recorded since 1991 and was partly fuelled by the EU accession of Poland and the other former communist east European states in April 2004. The annual level of migration from Britain has risen each year since 1998, when 251,000 left in the first full year of Tony Blair's government. Although the largest single increase in new migrants to Britain came from Poland, with 57,000 arriving in 2005 compared with only 17,000 the year before, more long term migrants actually came from India. A breakdown of the occupations of new migrants also shows that 170,000 of them describe themselves as 'professional or managerial' and only 143,000 intend to work in 'manual or clerical jobs'. Work is the most important reason for immigration to Britain with 28% having a definite job to go to and 15% of those who came said they were looking for work. The latest government estimates for the long-term immigration trend to Britain assume that it will continue at the slightly lower level of 145,000 a year.

At such level of immigration and emigration can we even imagine what can happen to our work force or our economy? Well the scene is not bad now..but it may be, if these things are left unchecked. Migration is not bad, but if it grows unabated, unchecked then probably it might cretae a problem for all of us. If we try to analyse the statistics we can see a alarming rate of swell in migration, be it In or be it Out. The maximum emigrationn for example is in employment area where foreign labour account for the maximum percentage. These things are hampering our economy as the resources being occupied by foreign labour drain the currency out of the country rather it remaining with us. Our people are loosing out jobs at the event of foreign labour. This is just an example. There are many more linked things liable to occur due to this sudden increase in migration factor. The government should take these things seriously as it is a matter of notional economy and security of british citizen's interest.

Hormones Affect Our Skin

2007-03-28T08:57:00.001-07:00

Many skin conditions we try to combat through the use of beauty products are in fact a cause of inner changes produced by our hormones. One of the most important female hormones that affect our skin is estrogen, the hormone that basicaly gives us the characteristics of being a woman.

Estrogen is the main cause in skin aging, this is precicely why when a woman finds that menopause has occurred, she starts feeling the results of it not only inside her body and mind, but also on her facial tissue. At menopause the production of estrogen is significantly reduced, so it triggers changes such as dry skin, lack of elasticity, a slitter pale face color when estrogen levels are very low.

There is another hormone that causes the dryness of our skin, even before major changes such as menopause. It's called thyroxin and it's being produced constantly by our tirode gland. Dry skin is usually treated with the help of beauty products, but the cause lies within our body and a proper treatment can eradicate it form its roots.

One of the most common skin conditions we have to deal with ever since our young ages is the acne. Surprisingly, it's caused by a hormone that many people don't even think it should exist in the body of a female. Yes, you guessed right, it's testosterone a male hormone that, however, is a major hormone also produced by female reproductive organs. When its levels are high as in our teenage years or fertility periods, our skin undergoes its effect and becomes affected by acne. But don't wait for it to go awat by itself as sometimes it might require the use of some beauty helping products or ,when it becomes chronic, even medical advice.

Brain Tracy’s ‘Eat that Frog’

2007-03-02T23:22:00.001-08:00

I have just finished reading a book on the Big A's recommendation our resident jazz singer. Strange really, it is little like Bill and Ted's time management book. It does have a strange charm to it though, usually I can’t read this type of thing.

The core concept is incredible easy to grasp it uses the metaphor for work tasks as frogs, so the most painful the certain task is, the larger and warter the hopper is, the harder it would be to bring your to eat. The main concept is really easy to comprehend, if as soon as you get up is eat the largest and ugliest frog everything else that day is going to go a lot better.

The book contains 21 simple rules. All the rules reinforce the main frog eatting idea. I really enjoyed the book.

Here is some other cool stuff I found by reading other blogs. Michal has started a website for her Jewish speeddating in London have a look. A quick plug for a website I have done some work with recently court house cosmetic surgery.

Hiring a new guy

2007-02-27T08:40:00.001-08:00

Well I have just done my first interview and to be honest it wasn't that hard we just just chatted really, he wasn't that profience. He is what I would like to describe as a motivated school leaver. Someone who I can mold to fit in with how I see the system working!!
It was odd to see the CV it had sections like this:

During school I was made a prefect because I was trustworthy and a good communicator. I was chosen to represent the school in speaking to local MP Bob Spink and took part in an after school English Extension Course at Seevic College before I enrolled there.

It's the kind of stuff I would write I msuppose but it is very odd to be the interviewer rather than the interviewie.

On a positive note.
Well I've totally finished the acne treatment part

Serious nasal problems

2007-02-27T08:17:00.001-08:00

Except for cramped quarters and a man behind me who had some serious nasal problems (he sat by me, changed his mind, and then sat behind me - lucky me!) my trip was cool. Oh yeah, i would not advise taking the bus on a friday night or saturday evening. No empty seats friday night. Lincoln tunnel madness saturday.

But it was an adventure. It was spontaneous - well, sort of. It was fun. I got to see the james muppet and miss heidi as well as my long-lost buddy claire - she's a honey. Everyone was soooo sweet to me. I crashed at smith, which is really lovely, although i did remember why i was glad to have moved off-campus originally - vomit on the front porch and led zeppelin at 3am plus much screaming. In amherst the next day was extravaganja, which was weird, to say the least. Lots of white teenagers with bad dreads, lots of hemp and deadhead products, some families of assorted natures, and lots of squishy doggies. Also a band that covered, among other classics, mr. Wendell by arrested development. Plus a long lecture from a droning libertarian. All in all, Good Clean Fun for the Whole Family.

Saturday night was also an adventure. I am all about frigging adventures these days. However the joey ramone vigil at cbgb's is making me very sad.

The parentals are whooping it up in the bahamas for dad's 74th. They bought straw hats and danced in the town square; my mom even got her hair braided! It makes me very happy to know that they are finally living for themselves, and i can't wait to see the pictures. Send some major positive vibes for the mama quitting smoking after 50+ years and maybe i can convince to go ahead and take yoga after all.

In other news, my neighbors confronted me last night about whether or not they "bothered" me - there's some legal stuff pertaining to this i won't go into, but suffice it to say little meek me was just like, um, well i HEAR you... It wasn't so much that i was afraid of them as that i didn't want to hurt their feelings, which is, if you've ever heard them screaming at each other and throwing shit, ludicrous of me. Overall, a lesson to me to be more honest. Maybe.

Good news on the work front.

I discovered something hysterical on google today that has lots of truth behind it. Somebody posted a petition against pop chavs and those who made them famous � don't you think it is about time someone said something? I couldn't agree more about these talentless small brats that are using up far too much space on the radio waves. Whatever happened to a group finding success because it actually has talent? When I use the word talent, I am not talking concerning wiggling boobs and prancing around on stage whilst acting as if they are singing. The band should be able to sing, or be profieceint at a least one instrument. Could you imagine Nipple Erectors, Flowers Of Romance, or FX getting on stage with nothing however pasties on and showing off their tits? They sure do not! And they don't have to since these groups have talent. These brainless morons can't sing are being forcible fed to the masses and I'm sick to the back teeth with it!
