Sports Illustrated Kate UptonAhhh, the time is here again. Forget Valentine's Day, the 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has hit newsstands across the country, and fellas everywhere are cheering -- ogling over 19-year-old cover girl Kate Upton.

I know it's easy to get distracted. But HELLO, we can't forget what this is all really about, right? THE SWIMSUITS, ladies! This issue is really for us! 

The $180 style Kate's rockin' on the cover from Suit Yourself Bikinis is a little too covered-up for my taste. Not enough side boob going on. That, and who actually wears bottoms that don't require a total "bare floor" waxing these days?

OK. Kidding. Maybe it's my jealousy talking. While I may not be the biggest fan of the cover suit, the ones inside the magazine do actually pique my interest. See the rest of the Kate's spread (get your mind out of the gutter) here:

kim kardashian britney spearsBritney Spears and Kim Kardashian may have different skill sets (one's a singer and one's a ... TV personality? What are we calling Kim these days, even?), but they both know what to do to get attention: cleavage. And I mean clah HEE, veh hedge. The famous pair joined up at Clive Davis' Grammy pre-party earlier this week and evidently rocked out with their boobs out. Britney in a plunging black Herve Leger dress and Kim in an even more plunging slash lifting Antonio Berardi navy gown, the two ladies were a sight to boob hold. Behold!

women wearing heelsThere's no ideal place to get into a tiff with your significant other, but at a black-tie family wedding just before his birthday and Valentine's Day has to be on the list of most inconvenient. But that's what happened with my guy and me this past weekend. We sparred over something which I knew in retrospect would seem really silly: My shoes. I had put together my entire ensemble for said wedding at the last minute, and that meant I was wearing adorable, sexy, but completely new, stiff, and uncomfortable patent leather peep toe pumps all night. When the band started grooving, my instinct was to slip off those bad boys and party rock barefoot. But the BF said it was inappropriate to be sans shoes at a black-tie event ...

After an unfortunate 20 or so minutes filled with me stumbling around whimpering and us trading curt words, I figured out what was really at the heart of his issue with my attempt to ditch the heels.

Makeup Free Friday: Sofia Vergara Looks Natural On Set

sofia vergaraSofia Vergara is one of the hottest women alive. The Modern Family star is not only drop dead gorgeous, but she's hilarious, too. And that accent! Come on. She's got it all. The only thing about her is that she seems to be covered in heavy makeup 24/7. I think she and the Kardashians have the same sort of beauty routine where they stick their faces in a bucket of concealer and then paint their eyes on using black sharpie. They never look bad, but they never look natural.

That's why it's refreshing to see Sofia's makeup-free face. This photo was snapped early in the morning while she was on set, and it's obvious it was taken before she spent any time in the hair and makeup trailer.

New York Fashion Week

The time is here again, it's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week here in New York City. The streets are buzzing with the clickety click of tall stilettos, big name designers are spanning across the streets from Amsterdam to York, and extravagant fashion shows galore are underway at the mother mecca in Lincoln Center.

Thanks to Red Door Spas, I had the opportunity to get New York Fashion Week ready on the Red Door Beauty Bus parked right outside all the action. As a gal who has never really gotten a hardcore glam squad treatment before, I was pumped. Would I come out looking like a totally different woman? Would I grow an automatic 4 inches just being around all those dazzling models?

I was hopeful. Thus, into the bus I went ...

Rachel McAdams Is Trying Too Hard With This Red Carpet Look

Posted by Lindsay Mannering

rachel mcadamsThis isn't easy for me to say -- I'm a hardcore Rachel McAdams fan -- but the 33-year-old star didn't look so good at The Vow premiere last night. She usually kills it on the red carpet so I don't know what happened here. Did she hire a new stylist? Was she super tired and thought that caking on the makeup would help? Was she rendered momentarily crazy by a rogue lightning bolt that struck her while she was blow drying her hair? I have no idea, and no words to describe just how un-Rachel she looked last night.

From the thick foundation to the heavy eyes to the even heavier lips to the dark hair roots, she left a lot to be desired.

What happened to the girl whose style we adored and whose fashions we coveted?

Kim Kardashian & Lea Michele Can Teach Us a Thing or Two About Showing Some Leg (PHOTOS)

Kim Kardashian wears blue slitted maxi skirtIs it just me, or are slits absolutely everywhere lately? I don't think I've EVER bought something with a slit myself, but suddenly slitted maxi skirts and long dresses are popping up in all of my favorite stores, and I'm diggin' it. It looks like I'm not alone, either. Celebs are loving them too. Check out Kim Kardashian (right) wearing a beautiful high-waisted blue slitted maxi skirt out in Miami yesterday. Man, what I'd do to be in the Florida sun right now!

Back to the skirt, though. It's absolutely perfect. Kim wore this gem the right way. That's the kicker here. Yes, slits can be fun. However, when it comes to showing a little leg, there are handful of DOs and a whole slew of DON'Ts.

What do I mean by don'ts? Well, here. Let me start with a little example from Glee star Lea Michele:

Christie Brinkley Turns 58 and Looks Fabulous -- What's Her Secret?

Good grief. What in the world is Christie Brinkley drinking? There's seriously a good chance that she's consuming some sort of elixir sent down by the gods or has found the actual Fountain of Youth or something like that.

Christie is 58 years old today -- Groundhog Day -- and even though she is approaching 60, she gives most 30-somethings a run for their money in the hotness department. There has to be some sort of explanation for how she's managed to stop the aging process -- besides her usual that she's been blessed with good genes.

So what exactly is her anti-aging secret?

4 Reasons Military 'Birth Control Glasses' Shouldn't Get the Boot

Army 'Birth Control' Glasses

When you think of the military, you don't exactly think stylish, trendy, or fashionable -- right? That's exactly why it's a tad ironic that, for years now, they've actually been ahead of the fashion curve with their standard issue Birth Control Glasses (BCGs). OK, that's not their real name. Technically referred to as "S9s," the brown thick-rimmed prescription glasses allegedly make the wearer "so unattractive" that snagging a member of the opposite sex is pretty darn hard.

Now, the military is swapping out their old "unattractive" specs for smaller, thinner framed "5A" glasses. If you ask me, I think someone must have forgot to put their glasses on. Hellooooo! Men in thick-rimmed glasses are H-O-T.
