Swinton Looks Hauntingly Beautiful in Pringle of Scotland Campaign
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Red-haired androgynous beauty Tilda Swinton looks “hauntingly” beautiful in her new campaign for Pringle of Scotland.
The Oscar-winning actress - who fronted last season’s advertisements for the label - has been photographed alongside Turner prize winner Douglas Turner in an abandoned oyster bay in Loch Fyne, Scotland, and her unique look shines through. Talking about the campaign shot by photographer Ryan McGinley, Pringle creative director Clare Waight Keller told Vogue.com:
“There were really two moods that I felt strongly about for this campaign. The first was to use the Scottish landscape in quite a surreal way, where Ryan’s spectacular lighting, especially in the night photography, really captured the haunting beauty of Tilda and her surroundings and the uniqueness of Douglas Gordon in a truly stunning combination. The second was a slightly more boyish, ‘bovver boy’ feel, a bit more casual, hanging out at the back of a bike shed.”

Jennifer Hudson Pleased With Figure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Jennifer Hudson loves her new slimmer look.
The Oscar-winning actress has managed to shed 60 lbs. following the birth of her son David Otunga Jr. last August and her Los Angeles-based trainer Harley Pasternak admits they had an unusual goal for her to aim for.
“Our goal was to bounce quarters off her butt. I think she looks fantastic. She loves the way she looks but she feels really great.”
Harley also claims Jennifer - who was recently announced as the face of Weight Watchers - is so motivated she will often exercise without him asking: “Unprompted, she’ll start running when I’ve just asked her to walk!”
Recently the Sex and the City actress admitted she loved joining Weight Watchers and felt like it changed her life for the better. She said, “I decided to do Weight Watchers. I feel like I’ve conquered the world. It’s a lifestyle change, not a diet. I don’t really diet as such. I actually get up and work hard every day. I make sure I eat right and just make sure I stay focused. It is about being consistent and sticking with it.”
Make-Up Free Jessica Simpson
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Rumors,
Jessica Simpson has appeared make-up free on the cover of Marie Claire magazine.
The 29-year-old star - who came under heavy criticism for gaining weight last year - did the cover shoot, which is also free from retouching, in an effort to challenge pre-conceived notions of beauty. It looks as if she actually brushed her teeth, too!
“I don’t have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business.”
However, the sexy singer, who recently fronted The Price of Beauty - a documentary following Jessica as she tries bizarre beauty treatments across the world - did admit she would still get dressed up when she felt she wanted to: “If I’m in a mood to go out and feel hot and sexy, I want long hair that I can feel on my back. But I also like bed head.”
Recently Jessica confessed she has changed thanks to her acceptance of her body and looks. She said, “There’s always something that I’ve wanted to fix because there’s always somebody who looks better; that’s what we always compare ourselves to. So I think the journey really was finding what was beautiful inside of me and knowing that it’s unique and rare. And it was a very powerful journey. It has definitely changed my life.”
Scarlett Johansson Knows That Beauty is Pain
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Scarlett Johansson is willing to suffer for beauty.
The stunning actress - who is the face of Spanish fashion label Mango - knows looking good can take hard work but says it’s worth it in the end.
“When I was little my mum always said, ‘Pain for beauty.’ That made me realize that, although the process of getting ready for an event is tedious, in the end it’s worth investing the time to have the look you’re happiest with.”
The 25-year-old beauty - famed for her old-school glamour look - also says it’s important to dress in outfits that you feel comfortable in, not whether they’re in fashion or not: “I think the most important thing is to look comfortable in yourself and in your own skin, whether you’re wearing something crazy, high fashion or casual. As long as you own the look, that’s the most important thing.”
While she loves clothes, Scarlett admits to being a shoe addict. She said, “I love shoes. I don’t wear heels a lot, but I love them, and have a ton of them. Shoes are so beautiful - I love the way they are made and the way they make you feel.”
Old Blonde Emma Thompson
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, News,
Actress Emma Thompson was stunned when her daughter told her she was too old to have blonde hair. The Nanny McPhee actress recently dyed her tresses from brunette and while she likes them, 10-year-old Gaia wasn’t impressed.
The 50-year-old star - who is married to actor Greg Wise - said, “She says, ‘It’s got to go,’ and I say, ‘Look Gaia, I am only 50, I will get rid of it when I’m a bit older,’ and she says, ‘You are too old for blonde hair, mum.’”
However, Emma is adamant the blonde tresses will stay but admits there will come a point when she can no longer carry off the look: “When I am about 60 I will just shave my hair off and go salt and pepper. You can’t have blonde hair at the age of 60.”
The Love Actually star has previously admitted she likes getting older because she feels more relaxed about her career. “I feel that my age and station give me a certain amount of leg room. I’m not cramped by fear of failure or I think it would be good to fail. I’ve done it spectacularly from time to time. I think it’s a help getting older because you worry so much less about that.”
Megan Fox Likes to Blend In
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
While she may attend red carpet events in major leg-exposing dresses, Megan Fox hates wearing attention-seeking clothes when she’s a normal girl on the street.
The Transformers beauty - who is regarded as one of the world’s sexiest women - says that she can’t don “interesting” outfits when she goes out because she doesn’t want people to recognize her.
“If you wear anything interesting, you become instantly noticeable. I have this gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana white trench coat for winter, but I can’t wear it without drawing attention to myself. And I try to hide. I want to be unseen.”
Although she is a huge fan of singer Rihanna‘s flamboyant look, Megan, 23, says she’s could never go out dressed like that: “It would be nice to be like Rihanna and go to Burger King in six-inch heels and a mini-dress. It’s admirable. But I don’t have the motivation. I have lots of casual clothes and one side of my wardrobe is oddly grown up: pencil skirts and Prada turtlenecks for when, once in a while, I feel like going in that direction.”

Reality star Heidi Montag wanted size H breasts - to match her name.
The Hills
actress
celebrity, 23, recently had her boobs enlarged as one of the 10 cosmetic surgery procedures she had last year but settled for a smaller size than what she asked for.
“At first I kept saying my boobs aren’t big enough. I wanted 800 cc’s and I ended up getting about 650 cc’s. 800 is the largest size that they make. I kept saying like a crazy person for eight weeks, saying I want them bigger I want them bigger. I think I’m good with them now… They’re triple D’s or F’s pretty much, I wanted ‘H’ for Heidi but that didn’t really happen that way.”
The bubbly blonde also talked about her procedures, which she had done all on one day. She told Access Hollywood, “I almost died after my procedure. I had too much Demerol like Michael Jackson did and my breathing was five breaths per minute which is like almost dead. I was in an aftercare center, there were nurses that were supposed to be tending to me at all times.”
Among the operations Heidi undertook were fat injections in her cheeks and lips, neck liposuction, buttock augmentation, a nose job and a mini-brow lift.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
We weren’t the only ones worried about our additional holiday pounds—Kate Moss is worried about her figure after over-indulging in Thailand.
The supermodel, who is currently in the Asian country on an extended New Year break, has been tucking into plates of fried food and is now starting to regret her actions after piling on some pounds.
A friend of the 35-year-old beauty said, “Kate’s been a bit naughty on holiday. She decided to spoil herself, so she’s been ordering egg and chips a hell of a lot. Now she’s staring to regret it. She’s having to leave the top button of her jeans undone in the evening and is worried she’s put on timber.”
Although she has been over-indulging with the food, Kate has been exercising on her break as she recently learned a synchronized swimming routine.
A source said, “Kate has spent five days solid preparing for this synchronized swimming display. Underwater music was piped through her hotel pool, allowing her to practice her moves and refine the art of water ballet.” The catwalk queen is taking the swimming so seriously that she has been studying from a guide book to help her perfect her moves.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Country and pop sensation Taylor Swift doesn’t like her body.
Despite her glittering film and music career, the 20-year-old starlet isn’t confident with her appearance and is inundated with insecurities about her face and body.
“I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realization that everybody does that - even the people that I consider flawless - then you can start to live with the way you are. I’ve read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you’re like ‘How do you have?’ Name one thing wrong with yourself and they could name a handful.”
However, Taylor has vowed to beat her insecurities and learn to love her body.
“I don’t really want to be that way. I’d like to try to maintain confidence and stay okay with who I am because I don’t really want to change it. Everybody has insecurities - everybody - but hopefully you can overcome them.”
