OMG

Kate Upton ‘Sports Illustrated’ Cover May Have Been Photoshopped -- Yay!

Did you happen to catch a glimpse of Kate Upton's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover yet? Because she looks absolutely ridiculous. That is, ridiculous in the sense that her stomach is flatter than a pancake and there isn't one ounce of flab or cellulite on her body. And don't get me started on the fact that the bikini she's wearing doesn't even really qualify as a swimsuit.

While Kate's amazing figure is definitely enviable, most gals would agree that it's a lot more feasible to have a body like that when you are only 19 years old versus when you are in the whole "mom" phase of your life. Kate's young age makes it easier for us to glance at the cover, do a major eye roll, and tell ourselves that we looked that good too before stretch-marks and saggy boobs took over.

But there may be an even better reason for us not to let Kate's perfect bod faze us in the slightest: There's a chance the cover may have been photoshopped.

Get Kate Upton's Look -- Even If You Aren't a Swimsuit Model

Have you seen Kate Upton's sexy new Sports Illustrated cover? Wow. That girl certainly is a looker. But may I emphasize the word "girl." Kate may be smokin' hot and have a body that we all envy, but it's important to note that she is only 19 years old, which should make all of us 30- and 40-somethings feel a whole lot better about the fact that we may have seen the last of our bikini days. (She'll get hers a few years down the road after a couple of kids. Don't worry).

Let's be honest -- after jobs, marriages, pregnancies, and stretch marks, not to mention the toll trying to keep up with the kids takes on your body, landing on the cover of a magazine wearing a piece of clothing about the size of a handkerchief isn't a look that most of us will be striving for anytime soon.

But getting Upton's super hot look doesn't have to mean stripping down to your skivvies. There's actually an easy way to re-create her style -- when she's more covered up, that is!

Nicole Kidman's Mom Hair Makes Her More Lovable

Nicole KidmanI've long thought that Nicole Kidman's ice queen image has held her back as an actress and as a public figure.

She has always been perfectly coiffed and made up when out and about, and her personality has seemed to reflect that carefully manicured appearance.

And then she had kids with Keith Urban.

Now, Nicole seems to be loosening up -- and I for one am loving it!

For example, check out her messy mom hair after a flight to Sydney.

Can you relate to this 'do? I sure can!

Adele's Grammys Style Inspires Us to Love Our Looks

Posted by Mary Fischer

Wow. Did Adele clean up last night as far as Grammy winners go or what? She wound up taking home six awards for her incredible voice -- not that any of us were surprised. I mean, Adele is really kind of in a class by herself when it comes to talent. Bottom line: That girl can SING.

But aside from her incredible set of pipes, Adele is loved by millions because she is just so down-to-earth and real. People appreciate and admire her for the fact that she has a God-given talent -- and because being a size 2 is not something she's even remotely concerned with. Adele accepts herself for who she is, which is something that more of us really need to learn how to do.

Happy 50th Birthday, Lindsay Lohan!

Lindsay LohanThey say hard living can really age a person --

And no one offers better proof of this than Lindsay Lohan, who appeared to be pushing 50 at a recent New York Fashion Week event.

Judging by her over-processed wig of a platinum mane, matronly dress, frumpy coat, and haggard expression, Lindsay seems to be aging a lot faster than the average 25-year-old.

Perhaps all of those "Red Bulls" she's drinking have something to do with it ...

... or maybe she's simply aging in LA years. Isn't it true that Hollywood actresses age two years for every one of ours? That would make her, coincidentally --

50!

I think this theory explains everything!

What about you?

Victoria Beckham Dresses Like Her Baby Girl to Look Posh

Posted by Mary Fischer

When it comes to avoiding the dreaded "mom frump" look, no one seems to do it better than Victoria Beckham. Honestly -- have you ever seen her look anything less than 100 percent put together? I don't think that she could have a bad style day if she tried.

We were all thrilled when Victoria welcomed her fourth child, daughter Harper Seven, especially since her other three kids are boys. As petty as it may sound, Victoria not having at least one girl in her brood would be almost tragic. She needs someone to pass her amazing fashion sense down to!

Harper is well on her way to being a little fashionista, and Victoria has even figured out how to make her own outfits look better by dressing Harper in clothes that complement hers. Totally genius.

Now You Can Afford to Dress Like Kate Middleton

How amazing would it be to raid Kate Middleton's closet? Well, I guess it would be a thrill for most of us until we went to try on one of her dresses -- only to find that the zipper wouldn't budge. She's a tiny little thing, that's for sure.

I don't think I've run into one person who isn't completely mesmerized by Kate's style, and it's not because of the fact that she's royalty or in the public eye or anything like that. Kate just knows how to put trendy and classy together into one perfect package that all of us totally drool over.

I got all excited when I found out that dressing like Kate is about to get a whole lot easier on our wallets. One of her favorite designers, Jenny Packham, is launching a budget-friendly line of dresses that will retail between $134 and $253. Too bad most of us have no practical reason to wear them.

Rooney MaraRooney Mara has been channeling her Girl With a Dragon Tattoo character, Lisbeth Salander, on the red carpet lately.

Not my favorite look for the actress, but hey.

It's a money maker.

At a recent awards show, though, she was looking fabulous in an eyecatching emerald green dress.

It's a hot color among celebs lately, and I for one am loving it.

Emerald green is a flattering color on just about anyone, and it's definitely going to get you noticed.

Check out some affordable emerald green frocks after the jump -- then tell me this in the comments:

Jennifer Lopez Should Wear Her Bare-All Grammy Dress Again

Posted by Mary Fischer
on Feb 7, 2012 at 8:23 PM

Jennifer Lopez looks beyond amazing after having twins. Did you see her wearing that belly-baring shirt on American Idol a couple weeks ago? Holy hot mama! How in the heck do her abs look like that after carrying two babies at the same time?

J. Lo has always been a huge source of fashion inspiration for many women, and we all envy the fact that she isn't afraid to take risks with her style choices. Remember that super low-cut green dress she wore to the Grammys back when she was dating P. Diddy (or Puff Daddy or Diddy or whoever he was at that point in time)?

That dress was ridiculous, but in a totally good way. And it may be on display now at the Grammy Museum in L.A. instead of hanging in Jen's closet, but she says she'd still wear it if she had it. And I say, good for her! She should wear it, and she shouldn't have to worry about being "too sexy" as a mother.
