Orange Lips Are In!

February 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Orange lips are in! Don’t worry, you read that right. Although some people probably think that orange lips will look hideous, as though you just consumed food laden with poor quality orange colorant, the fact is that runways as well as red carpets have been fun of people sorting orange and peach summer shades. While such a shade would look great when a person is dressed for an award function or is ready to walk the ramp, one wonders whether orange can actually be worn on a day to day basis. Here are a few tips on how you can best cope with this trend!

1. Instead of using an all out lipstick, you should try using a lip balm or stain. Most cosmetic companies offer a range of colors in the form of comfortable glosses and balms. Try on some of these balms as they give a more toned down and natural look instead of the highly glamorous look that simply can’t be worn to work!

2. When someone says ‘Orange’ most people simply imagine the color of the fruit! However, orange comes in a huge variety of hues and shades so you have the freedom to pick one that best suits you. You could chose a soft coral shade for everyday wear or go for a more glamorous shade with hues of red for events and functions.

3. You could also choose to walk the thin line between orange and pink. Peach is often a good color replacement for orange for those people whose skin tone is pale. The color is also not too vibrant and can be easily carried off in formal as well as casual settings. Wearing a glossy shade will enhance the fullness of your lips while providing a more comfortable wear during summers.

4. Always remember that it isn’t necessary for you follow every fashion trend that emerges for a given season. There are several fashion trends prevalent during each season so if you feel that orange isn’t the color for you than simply don’t wear it and go for a more suitable color.

Getting Serious Help With Drug Addiction

January 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Celebrities have been checking into a drug abuse rehab facility on a regular basis for years. Money, a fast lifestyle and a rich environment full of drugs, lead many famous people to seek help. Often the addiction is glorified with celebrities, such as Amy Winehouse who sang about her desire to avoid drug rehab. Too many actors and actresses use drug rehabilitation as if it were a spa treatment that requires constant visits. Lindsay Lohan has been in and out of rehab when ordered by a court to rid herself of a drug addiction. With so many Hollywood types using drug facilities as their private haven to clean up, who’s taking the rehabilitation seriously?

Drug addiction is a serious problem that affects family members, job performance and relationships. Making a choice to stop taking any kind of drug requires teamwork of an experienced staff. When you check into a rehab center, having the support of your friends and family is important. Detoxification is a process that requires a real dedication to follow through from the patient. For the average person who enters a drug abuse rehab facility, no photographers, manicurist or hairdresser is going to pamper you all day. Discovering the reasons for an addiction and finding ways to overcome the addiction will fill your day.

The tabloids are filled with movie stars and singers who are encouraged by the courts, loved ones and Hollywood agents to get clean from drugs. John Belushi struggled with a cocaine addiction and went to many rehab centers. Unfortunately, he was unable to commit to ending his addiction and died of a cocaine overdose at a young age. His friend, Robin Williams had a similar addiction to cocaine and finally got serious about treatment when John died. If you’re ready and want the best possible care from dedicated staff, get help now. An addiction can be overcome with hard work and a focused desire to change.

Minaj Gets the Boot, Thanks to Loving Fans

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 13: Rapper Nicki M...

Rapper Nicki Minaj has tons of fans (“Barbz,” she calls them), and she loves them as much as they love her…even when they get her kicked out of hotels in foreign countries. On January 20th, the 26-year-old was in London for some radio appearances and other press obligations when a massive crowd of her “Barbz” mixed with dozens of paparazzi crashed the hotel she and her posse were staying at.

Hotel security and administration deemed the large crowd a “security threat” and claimed they were disturbing others who were staying at the hotel. One fan was even reportedly injured in a fight during the mobbing and had to be taken away by ambulance. As a result, Minaj returned to the hotel from a press outing to learn that she would have to take her entourage and leave the hotel and find somewhere else to stay.

The rapper did just that, before donning another of her outrageous outfits and heading out for a night on London’s party scene. The switching of hotels didn’t seem to stop her fans—or the paparazzi, for that matter—from tracking her down. She was swarmed again when she tried leaving a nightclub much later that night, calling London and her UK fans “crrraaazzzzyyyyy” in a tweet.

As she attempted to leave the unnamed nightclub, dozens of fans sang her hit single “RightThruMe” as they stood in the frigidly cold temperatures to show their appreciation and love for her. Minaj reportedly enjoyed her fans and the attention in London so much that she tweeted about the possibility of moving there.

Is London ready for Nicki Minaj? It sure seems like it. Sit tight, Londoners, and keep an eye on Nicki’s official Twitter page—if you’re not already, that is. You can bet that if she decides to jump across the big puddle and start a life in London, her loyal Twitter followers will be some of the first to know!

Celebrities’ Homes in Italy

January 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

From the winding canals of the romantic city of Venice to the sun-kissed vineyards in Tuscany, Italy casts a spell on all who visit this enchanting and beautiful country. Sights such as medieval buildings, cascading fountains in city squares, Baroque cathedrals, the Vatican, and Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the Last Supper inspire appreciation for all of the beauties the country has to offer.

These beauties are among the many reason that people – especially celebrities – vacation in Italy. If you stay in a luxury hotel Italy room, not only will you enjoy the sumptuous food and wine, but also have the possibility spotting celebrities such as Jay Leno, Leonardo Di Caprio, Tony Danza, or Danny Divitto.

Many celebrities stay in their luxury homes or luxury hotel rooms in Italy. Lake Como, a lake of glacial origins in Lombardy, Italy, is a popular retreat for wealthy people and celebrities. The lake and surrounding area cast a spell over George Clooney and Clooney now owns a home there. Portions of Clooney’s blockbuster film, Oceans Twelve, were filmed at his villa.

After the Formula 1 races, race-car driver Michael Schumaker relaxes in his home in northern Italy. Helen Mirren has purchased a 500-year-old castle as her luxurious place of residence in Italy. Heidi Klum often vacations at the beaches of Portovenere with her husband and four children.

As you wander the streets in Cortona, you might see Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun. Mayes purchased a villa in the Tuscan countryside and renovated it. Debi Maza (of Batman Forever fame) and her Italian-born husband own a 14th century home in Tuscany.

If you are riding a gondola on the Grand Canal in Venice, keep watch for Woody Allen’s palazzo. And if you are in Venice in the odd numbered years, you can also enjoy the Venice Biennale, a festival of music, art, dance, cinema, and architecture.

It’s true. This is Oprah’s last year on her world-famous talk show. But you already knew that, didn’t you? If you’re a fan, of course you did! In her final season as host of “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” Oprah Winfrey has yet to disappoint when it comes to her ever-popular daytime talk show which is the highest-rated talk show in worldwide television history.

The same surprises, heart-warming stories, and celebrity interviews that have been a part of the show since it began on September 8, 1986 are very much a part of this final season. All of your favorite segments—Oprah’s Book Club, Remember Your Spirit, and Tuesdays With Dr. Oz among others—are still a part of the show, too. It’s all there, making this season just as spectacular as the previous twenty-four.

Except for one thing.

During her show on January 21st, Oprah revealed a bit of a surprise that would come on her show this Monday, January 24th. Winfrey is planning to planning to stage what can only be called a family reunion of sorts. That does’t seem too surprising, right? Of course not. Not for Oprah Winfrey who, at the beginning of this final season, flew three hundred of her favorite guests to Sydney, Australia with her when she went to record shows there.

So, what’s the big surprise, then? Oprah claimed that, during this family reunion, she will be revealing a family secret that she says she’s been hiding from everyone for months now. In a clip for Monday’s show, she stated that what she would be revealing “shook me to my core” and that the revelation would beed “the miracle of all miracles.”

That was all she said, though, to the dismay of many of her faithful viewers. So, for those of you waiting to hear about this “miracle of all miracles,” don’t forget to tune into Monday’s show.

Celebrity Superheroes: How They’re Helping Others

When it comes to celebrities these days, the seemingly constant news flow about who is in which upcoming movie, who was nominated for what award, who is marrying who, who is going to or avoiding jail time, and who is having a baby with whom is just some of what we see in all of the news channels each day. Sometimes it’s just too much to handle, wouldn’t you agree?

With so much of today’s celebrity gossip being nothing but stories full of defamation—that’s what we all secretly love, isn’t it?—and other things that make us feel better about ourselves as “normal” people, it can get old very quickly. With most people thriving on this type of information, that’s mostly what we’ll see. Supply and demand, you know.

What we rarely see is how celebrities are using their fame to get good things done. Those celebrities are out there, but in our search for the “dirt” on other celebrities, we don’t always see the good things that celebrities do. It’s happening right now, and hardly any of are noticing.

So, who are the stars who are using their fame and celebrity status to accomplish good things around the globe? Read on to see a few of them.

  • George Clooney has been spending lots of time and money in raising awareness of about recent situations in the Darfur region of Sudan. He helped create a documentary and donates all proceeds to the International Rescue Committee.
  • Natalie Portman is heavily involved with an organization called One Voice Movement, which works to find ways to end the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict.
  • Brad Pitt founded the Make It Right Foundation to help build New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He’s also heavily involved with the ONE campaign, which works to combat global poverty and preventable diseases.
