Beauty & Style All the Rage

Kris Jenner’s New Lips Look Ri-duck-ulous

Hollywood has started a lot of style and beauty trends, but one I wish it would take back pronto is the "trout pout." This is when dermal filler is injected into the lips, making them swell up to thrice their normal size, often the top lip being bigger than the bottom one. I guess this procedure is supposed to make a woman look like Angelina Jolie, but it often just makes her look like Daffy Duck.

The latest sporter of the trout pout is Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, who shows up in a trailer for Keeping Up With the Kardashians with enormous fish lips.

Cameron Diaz's Take on Saggy Boobs Is, Um, Uplifting

cameron diazEver wonder why your boobs are so saggy? Don't worry, Cameron Diaz has all the answers. During an interview to promote her new movie What to Expect When You're Expecting, Diaz waxed poetic about the functionality behind droopy boobies. Drawing from her experience after visiting Africa, the 39-year-old actress explained that breasts become long and stringy so that you can toss them over your shoulder to feed the baby you have strapped to your back. Or, she goes on, if you don't want to throw your bazooms over your shoulder, she says that you can fling them under your armpit.

Her good-spirited take on saggy breasts has a lot of people laughing ... but I think we can come up with a few more funny things pendulous breasts can be used for, don't you?

Talking to Yourself Isn't (Just) for Crazy People

crazy ladyWhen I was younger and had fewer than 8 million things on my mind at any given moment, I used to give my mom a hard time because she talked to herself. Like, all the time. (So did my grandmother, now that I think about it.) Footloose and un-frazzled as I was, it used to drive me nuts when I heard her voice coming from another room and thought she was talking to me:

"What, Mom?" Silence. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Silence. "MOOOOM!"

"Hmm? Oh, nothing, I was just talking to myself."

Aargh!

Of course, now that I'm a mom and karma tends to bite us all in the arse at some point, I find myself having similar solo conversations:

"Now, what did I come in this room for? Oh yeah, the laundry basket. Now where did that soap go ... ?"

Does this mean I'm as crazy as my mother?!

Not neccessarily! Check this out: According to a new study, talking to yourself can actually speed up your thought process.

berriesSo I don't know about you, but I'm thinking of going on an all-berry diet. Okay, not really.

But man!

It seems like every other day strawberries and/or blueberries and/or blackberries are in the news because some expert-type people discovered yet another antioxidant-related magical power.

Today in miraculous berry power news: Apparently eating blueberries and strawberries can the prevent the "cognitive decline and memory loss that comes with aging."

Well, these are truly happy tidings, my friends. Because I am sooo sick of losing my keys. And I'm still in my 30's! I better start pounding the berries asap or I'm not going to remember my own name by the time I'm 50.

The World's Oldest Supermodel Looks Her Age

daphne selfeIn a world where so many women are going to all kinds of extremes to look younger, it's so refreshing to see someone actually embrace the years they've lived and let nature take its course as far as aging goes. And if anyone proves just how beautiful you can be by doing things the natural way, it's 83-year-old model Daphne Selfe.

Can I get a round of applause and an "amen" for a woman who isn't afraid of gray hair or a few wrinkles? Unlike other models who are constantly trying to fight Father Time, Daphne seems to appreciate the idea that even though your looks change as you get older, you don't necessarily get any less attractive. It's all about your confidence and how you carry yourself -- all of which comes from within. She's so sure of herself, in fact, that she just posed as Madonna, even wearing the famous corset that was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier that Madge wore in 1990.

Julia Roberts' Bikini Body Is SLAMMING (VIDEO)

julia roberts bikiniJulia Roberts can't stop, won't stop. The Mirror Mirror star was in Hawaii on vacation with her three kids and husband recently and showed us all that age is just a number. In a tiny black bikini, Julia, who's, ahem, 44 years old, looks absolutely flawless. AND, I love her hair like that, all curly, red, and natural. She's a pretty woman all right (as if you didn't see that pun coming), but she seems to be so down to earth, so loving, and so into her kids that seeing her as a movie star and not just as a regular ol' mom on vacation is difficult. Sure, she's one of the most famous people on the planet who happens to have killer abs, but she's just like us. Only, yeah, better looking. See for yourself!

Grandma & Mom Beauty AdviceWhere do you get your day-to-day beauty advice? Usually it's from magazines, talk shows, websites, that sort of stuff, right? To be honest, beauty blogs are the very first place I stop by during my daily once-around the web. HOWEVER -- I think a lot of us have forgotten that some of the world's best advice comes from good ol' Mom. Oh, and Grandma, too.

Lucky for us, shopping & style site Racked did us all a solid. They compiled some of the best beauty advice from some seriously stylish mommas, rightfully so, because these women have LEGIT seen it all. From remembering to use moisturizer to the right way to apply false lashes, there's no beauty blunder that's left untouched.

Ready, set, watch:

Lindsay Lohan Ages 25 Years in 60 Seconds, and It's Scary (VIDEO)

lindsay lohan

Ok, so there's a new video of Lindsay Lohan that has gone viral, but this time it's not because of something crazy she did or some sort of illegal substance she ingested. And it's not because she passed out in the front seat of a car either. Shocking, I know.

Instead of showing something scandalous, this particular video takes photos of Lindsay from when she was a baby up until the present year, and shows her aging an entire 25 years in only 60 seconds. And believe me, watching one photo morph into the next is really, really creepy.

Christie Brinkley Proves Once Again She's Ageless in Hot Pink Dress (VIDEO)

christie brinkleyNo matter how many times I see pictures of her, I just can't get over how incredible Christie Brinkley looks at 58. And even though common sense tells me she has really good genes and takes impeccable care of herself, I still can't help but wonder if she either has a time machine hidden in her basement or if she's possibly some sort of alien. Those two scenarios make a bit more sense to me.

Because women who are almost 60 just aren't supposed to look that good. When I first saw this shot of Brinkley rocking a hot pink dress and neon heels, I honestly thought it was a photo of Kelly Ripa! Take another good look at this picture -- doesn't Christie remind you of Kelly?

‘Miracle Pill’ Zaps Wrinkles and Prevents Sun Damage -- Really?!

Posted by Jacqueline Burt
on Apr 2, 2012 at 4:42 PM

vitaminsIt's like something you'd see on an infomercial: Tired of wasting your whole summer applying and re-applying sunblock? Want to get rid of those unsightly crow's feet? Thanks to new miracle pill Colladeen Visage, you can say good-bye to wrinkles AND sunscreen -- forever!

But Colladeen Visage isn't the next ShamWow -- not exactly, anyway.

The pill, now for sale in the UK, has apparently been "proven" to both diminish signs of aging AND help the body produce its own shield against the sun's harmful rays.

Guess it really is a miracle pill ... unless ... hey, does this sound a little too good to be true to anyone else?
