vampireI am willing to suffer for sexiness. Why else would I wince my way through a wedding in those instruments of torture better known as Jimmy Choos?

I've been plucked, tweezed, peeled, and scrubbed. And no judgement here if a nip/tuck is your thing. However, when a friend of mine got the Vampire Facial, well, I realized there are some things just too damn creepy to do.

I'm all for the Cullen craze, but this takes things way too far. First blood is drawn from your arm. Then it's spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, which are later injected into your face with a needle. Ouch and ewww!

Woman Fired for Being 'Too Hot' Proves Beautiful People Should Avoid the Office (VIDEO)

There's a lot of things that can get you fired from your job. Showing up late, embezzling funds, sleeping when you should be working. But there is nothing worse than being fired from your job because you are too hot. In some cases, being too hot is good for your career. Like if you're a Victoria's Secret model. But otherwise, it's just a pain. Ask Lauren Odes, who was fired from her data entry job because, she says, her employers told her her body was "too racy" and suggested she wrap a "red bathrobe" over her clothing. But nothing could cover up her sexy and she was canned anyway.

Odes says her employers told her: "You are just too hot for this office." Tell me about it, sistah.

Jordin SparksLast night's Billboard Music Awards were nothing short of fab-u-lous. Between Jordin Sparks and John Legend's tear-jerking tribute performance to the late Whitney Houston, Adele's utter domination of the evening with 12 awards, and Taylor Swift making history as the youngest person ever to receive the Woman of the Year Award, there was no shortage of entertaining moments at the big Las Vegas shebang.

There was also no lack of fantastically dressed A-listers, either. From Katy Perry's bold purple frock to Carrie Underwood's fairy-tastic ball gown, take a look at 5 of last night's biggest fashion show-stoppers:

Miley Cyrus Teaches the Art of Skin Tight Dresses

Miley Cyrus tight dressPretty much everything that Miley Cyrus does lately has magically become "newsworthy." Everything that she wears? Forgettaboutit. The latest buzz? Miley's swapped out her teensy gym clothes for something a little snazzier but just as tight. The little gray dress (keyword: little) she wore out in Miami has everyone on the fritz. Surprise surprise: It's skin tight. Oh, did I mention it's super little?

Let's be real, though -- Miley's dress is a staple piece. I actually think it's safe to say that most women in America own something very similar. In like, four colors.

Heck, I know I do.

NEW Dos & Don’ts of Wearing White After Memorial Day (PHOTOS)

Kim KArdashian in WhiteLet's be real: The winter white thing was never really a hard sell. I don't know, it's always just been drilled into my head that white is a SUMMER color and that's probably why. Meh, just not natural. The good news for fans of the crisp clean neutral (like me!) is that Memorial Day is almost here, and that means white is a total 100 percent GO.

However, just because it's time to start wearing white -- doesn't mean there aren't rules. Exhibit A: Look at Kim Kardashian rockin' the white look a week early in London! Combining white on top AND bottom? Total DO. Maybe in years past, I would have said it's too much. But heck, if Kimmy can do it -- then so can we all, right? She looks so fun, so summery!

Check out our list of other dos and don'ts for wearing white this summer, here:

Jessica Simpson's Maternity Line: Leopard Print & Heels, Oh My

Jessica Simpson already designs a $1 billion dollar retail collection for adults, so it's no surprise that with the birth of her baby girl, Maxwell, Jess plans on adding maternity wear to the line. Jessica says the maternity wear will "show off baby bumps." Well, duh. There was no hiding the one had Jess had. During her pregnancy, which seemed to last eons, Jess and her ginormous bump became famous for her mommy-to-be fashions -- sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a not-so-good way.

So it will be interesting to see what kinds of designs she goes with. The line will launch in the fall with jersey knit dresses, sweaters, and vintage print tops. But I'm thinking a green mumu will make its way into the collection too. And maybe these other Jessica fashion favs ...

Demi Lovato’s New ‘X-Factor’ Hair Has Got to Go

Posted by Kiri Blakeley

Demi Lovato is joining the cast of The X-Factor as a judge, and she just debuted her new look at a FOX TV programming event. Demi is a beautiful girl and it would be extremely difficult to make her anything less than gorg. But extremely long blonde hair? That managed it. I'm sorry, the blonde locks make her look 10 years older. Demi is a natural brunette, and in this case, that happens to be the color that works best with her skin and features.

Blonde hair simply doesn't complement everyone. Lindsay Lohan is another example. Her bleached out blonde hair also made her look much older.

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.

Kim Kardashian's Eyebrows Inspire Cutting Edge Beauty Procedure

kim kardashianLadies, put down your tweasers because big, bushy eyebrows are in. And if you are the victim of over-plucking and the hair won't grow back, fear not! There is a hair transplant procedure that's been perfected and the look most women are asking for is the eyebrows of Kim Kardashian.

They are kind of perfect, aren't they? Not too thin, not overly bushy. I bet you are wondering just how this eyebrow transplant procedure goes down. No one wants part of their face being cut open in the name of beauty. Well, some do, but this procedure isn't like that.

Lindsay Lohan’s Brow Blunder Is Impossible to Ignore

Lindsay LohanUsually when I look at Lindsay Lohan, I see that cute little girl from The Parent Trap. More recently when I look at LiLo, I think how excited am for her to be on Glee next week. However, when I look at photos of Linds from an event for A&E last night here in New York City, I think W-T-F.

Oh Linds. I think the dress, it has potential. In fact, I'm ALL about the long sleeve lace overlay. The shoes, they're pretty unoffensive, too. BUT WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR BROWS?!

Someone, anyone -- can you tell me if Lindsay looked in a mirror before stepping onto the red carpet?
