kim kardashian makes fun of tanning momWho knew Kim Kardashian had such a sharp wit? The reality diva took to Twitter this weekend to mock "Tanning Mom" aka Patricia Krentcil, the extremely tanned lady from New Jersey who has been accused of taking her 5-year-old daughter into the tanning booth with her. Kim posted an Instagram pic of herself with an incredibly deep, dark spray tan, along with the remark, "The tannerexic [sp] mom has some serious competition!!! Lol."

Funny, yes, but still -- talk about about the pot calling the kettle black brown!

Mom Hooked on Tanning Has These Scorched Celebrities in Her Court (PHOTOS)

Did you hear about the tanning addicted mom from New Jersey who was accused of putting her 5-year-old into a tanning booth? The poor little girl raised plenty of eyebrows when she told friends at school that she was sunburned from going tanning with her mom. The woman in question, Patricia Krentcil, is denying the accusations, of course. But regardless of whether she did put her daughter in harm's way or not, I can't help but wonder if she's bothered to look in a mirror to see just how ridiculous she looks.

I can't decide whether she more closely resembles an Oompa-Loompa, a piece of beef jerky, or an Egyptian mummy -- but she definitely has a serious addiction to ultraviolet rays.

And she's not the only one.

DoveDove already has made a name for itself by featuring real women in its advertising.

Now, the brand is taking that body image message a step further with a new 'Ad Makeover' campaign that actually allows women to create ads that Dove then pays to show other women on Facebook.

The campaign comes in response to a survey that showed only 4 percent of women consider themselves to be beautiful.

See how Dove's new Ad Makeover works after the jump.

Kim Kardashian's Bad Skin Looks Familiar (VIDEO)

kim kardashianEveryone has break-outs. Even if you're super rich, all the money and science in the world won't stop your skin from, er, expressing itself with some red spots here and some blackheads there. Zits are one of the world's greatest equalizers and they're a fact of life. Just ask Kim Kardashian. She's got truck loads of money and has access to the best skin treatments in the world, but even she's got some undeniable blotchiness.

We all know that Kim has psoriasis -- I think everyone remembers that episode where she understandably freaks out about the spots on her body. The 31-year-old reality star was just caught leaving a medi-spa in L.A. with an irritated forehead, sparking rumors that her skin condition is worsening, or that she just got some big ol' Botox injected into her forehead.

dollar shave clubFinally, after centuries of over-promising ads that promote unrealistic ideas of beauty, there comes a man whose commercial tells it like it is. Michael Dubin, the man and the face behind the Dollar Shave Club, has taken the Internet, and our hearts, by storm with a hilarious viral ad for his start-up razor company. Oh, it may sound utterly boring, but it's anything but. Dubin is very, very funny, and his cheap razors? Well. They practically sell themselves.

'Glee' Star Lea Michele Is No Rachel Berry & She Has the Tats to Prove It

Lea MicheleEver since she became a bona fide star, it seems like Lea Michele has been haunted by comparisons to Rachel Berry, the character she plays on Glee. Which wouldn't be so bad, except, well, Rachel isn't all that likeable, is she? Speaking as a Gleek, I'm going to go ahead and admit she's kind of prissy and way into herself.

But Lea seems much more fun. So I was glad to hear the actress dishing about all her body art this week to Prestige magazine. And by all her body art, I mean A LOT of body art. This does not sound like a Rachel Berry moment at all!

Cate Blanchett's Answer to Plastic Surgery Is Pretty Sour (VIDEO)

Posted by Mary Fischer
on Mar 7, 2012 at 3:22 PM

cate blanchettIt is always so refreshing whenever a celebrity speaks out and admits that she isn't afraid to let nature take its course and age gracefully instead of resorting to plastic surgery to try and look 21 again. It's just so unrealistic to expect natural looking results after going under the knife to combat aging, which is something that 42-year-old Cate Blanchett recognizes.

The actress recently said that she's against altering her appearance because "you just see the work," meaning that you can immediately look at someone and tell that they've had plastic surgery. And you know what? She's right. Because most people who've had plastic surgery look -- well, kind of fake.

She insists that she "knows what works for her," and even said she feels "pity" for people who decide to alter their appearance. Pity seems a bit harsh, but I guess I understand where she's coming from. Some people will go to drastic lengths to look young. And that's why Cate has found a natural anti-aging secret instead.

FlickrI love sharing beauty and fashion advice with all of you ... but now I need your help.

Over the last few weeks, the delicate skin just beneath my eyes has gotten very dry. I've tried every eye cream I have on the area (including some super-expensive samples), but nothing's really helping. In fact, it's only making things worse -- I woke up this morning with PUFFY skin under my eyes and darker-than-normal circles.

UGH.

That's why I need your help. How do you keep the skin around your eyes moisturized? What do you do about dark circles under your eyes? And how do you eliminate that puffiness FAST?

Let me know in the comments!

Vintage Skincare Tips Are Still Useful Today (VIDEO)

vintage skincareI'm going through a bit of a nostalgic phase. Maybe it's because I've been wearing my grandmother's blond fur stole a bunch, or maybe it's because Leap Day made me yearn for the simpler times when there were only 365 days in a year; whatever the case may be, I'm super into learning about what ladies did way back when. Earlier this week we discovered their Anti-Flirting rules from the 1920s and today we've got a vintage video from 1937 of Hollywood starlet Constance Bennett giving skincare advice.

And me oh my, it's brilliant for so many reasons. Notwithstanding the gorgeous sleigh bed, the maid, and Constance's singsong voice, the best part of the video is that it highlights the fact that women have been doing the same thing for decades.
