Angelina Jolie Gets A Leg Up On Hollywood's Leading Ladies




Angelina Jolie.

Talk about getting a leg up.....The woman looks incredible as she makes her unforgettable entrance in a black, dramatic, Versace chiffon gown to the Salt premiere Tuesday in Tokyo.

The busy mom of six cutie-pies, has been making a world tour of her action-thriller flick Salt. She sure has. by reportedly earning $20 million for this movie.

We brought you a few of Angelina's diet and fitness tips here at Beauty Tip Today in an article last Saturday.

Now, let's take a closer look at the glamour of 35-year-old Angelina Jolie. Let's be honest....this is one hot Versace gown. It's a backless beauty. A few days ago, the sexy star wore black leather. Angelina's style is modern and edgy.

The British press has had a field day with Angelina's 'vein-bulging Madonna arms'. Big deal! The actress had a grueling training program for her cinematic role as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent on the run. She performed most of her stunts. We are happy to see that she is in such amazing shape. Angelina Jolie still looks flawless. No one is 100% perfect.

We like Angelina's makeup and trademark cat-eyes. Her look is always dewy and natural.

Here are some of the products her makeup artists have used to create her global appeal:

1. Lancome Le Crayon Kohl in Black Ebony (for lining eyes with definition and creating sexy cat-eyes)
2. Lancome Oscillation Mascara (for long, lush black lashes)
3. Shu Uemura Blush in M Pink 31 (for softness, a warm pink color)
4. Lancome Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling (for beautifully shiny lips with a hint of color)

Lindsay Lohan Locked Up But Still Launches Lucrative Leggings Line


Lindsay Lohan. The young, troubled star may be locked up in jail for a few more days, but she still has the smarts to try and re-launch her image and of course, rake in the cash.

Let's face it. A lot of young girls and young adults don't want to see any time behind bars, but they do want to look like pretty Lindsay Lohan, dress like her, and have her fun lifestyle and money. So, the idea of Lindsay re-launching her leggings/clothing line, 6126, has been well-timed.

We guess you could call it, "a comeback behind bars". Plus, the former child star is planning to give a $1 million post-jail interview, to whichever network would like to pony up the money.

Speaking of money....Don't worry about this confused and infamous, young woman. She's in jail for violating the terms of her probation. It's supposed to be a 90-day stint, but, it's only a matter of time before the crowded lock-up system lets Lindsay leave very early.

As far as the 6126 clothing line, it could be quite lucrative. Industry insiders predict it will produce $5 million in sales by year's end.
"It's amazing to think that someone like Lohan could actually profit from her time in a correctional facility," says MSN Money's Jason Buckland tells the NY Daily News. "One thing is clear: It pays to be dysfunctional."

The fall 6126 line features mainly leggings. A cute pair will cost you about $60. Some feature floral prints and some with sexy, lace peek-a-boo.

You can check out Lindsay Lohan modeling pieces from her new 6126 clothing line on YouTube.

And she has also recently launched a 6126 website.

Angelina Jolie High-Energy Diet And Training Tips For Salt Movie


Angelina Jolie is dazzling audiences in her new action thriller movie, Salt.

The Academy Award winner plays the role of a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt. And Ms. Salt is a kick-butt agent on the run. Angelina does some amazing stunts in the movie, and trained and dieted hard to get in super shape.

So, how did the slender and busy mom tackle such a demanding movie role?

Well, it wasn't easy. But we have some of her fitness and diet tips:

1. Eating a high energy diet of 5 small meals a day. No junk food. And alcohol was only allowed on the weekends. The diet plan broke down into a 70% carbs/30% protein intake. And according to what her stunt instructor, Simon Crane, told Self magazine, Angelina actually avoided cardio.
"Angelina has to have 70 percent carbohydrates and 30 percent protein diet with an anaerobic training regime (as opposed to aerobic), so she can put muscle on without losing weight."

2. Building muscle strength and stamina. Angelina worked out like a mad woman, because the Salt role included daring stunts with safety cables and wire rigs, as you can see in the photo above. That translated into tough, 2 hour training sessions, 5 days a week, including fight training and strength work-outs.

"For her fight training, we got her learning a combination of Muay Thai and Krav Magha (self-defense) very early on," Crane says. "We would then pick the moves she was best at and combine them into a sequence."

We hear that Salt is a great spy thriller flick and that Angelina Jolie does about 99% of her own stunts. And the woman is in incredible shape. In this case, the carbo-loading pays off.

Forever 21 Now Selling Maternity Clothes: Dopey Or Clever Marketing?

Shopping at Forever 21. Sure, the fashions mainly target teens. But then again.....lots of women who aren't teens also buy clothes there. And we've mentioned Eva Longoria Parker before, as one of the hot celebrities who loves Forever 21, saying, that shopping there,"was a guilty pleasure." And Eva Longoria Parker is in her 30's.

So, then, is there a problem with the department store now selling maternity clothes? Will teens who frequent Forever 21 be 'inspired' to get pregnant to buy some cute maternity clothes?!

Well, some people feel that way, including the YMCA in San Jose, California, whose city is one of the 5 selected Forever 21 store locations where the maternity line is being launched. By the way, San Jose, just happens to have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country.

One of the 'Y' staffers claims young girls should not be exposed to maternity clothes at their favorite teen stores.The staffer says that launching the line in the highest rate states, "could not be unintentional, especially since the line is opening next week in Nevada, another state that ranks high in teen pregnancy."

So, there you have it. Is it clever marketing? Or just plain dopey by the folks at Forever 21?!

"Forever 21 did not create, design or distribute Love 21 Maternity to target or appeal specifically to pregnant teens. Any relationship between teen pregnancy rates and the locations of our stores is unintentional," the clothing company stated in a press release.

Hmmm. We think Forever 21 knew exactly which of their stores to offer the new maternity line. However, you can also find the new line right at your fingertips here.

The new Forever 21 maternity line has some cute and affordable pieces. And we are sure, that a lot of pregnant women over 21 will be wearing the clothing, too.

Authentic Designer Shoes Bought For Less Online Probably Aren't

Christian Louboutin. Prada. Dior. Jimmy Choo.
Who doesn't love designer shoes!!

Of course, we all desire the real thing...authentic designer shoes. And many of us like to shop for them online and save some big bucks!

But, let's face some facts:

If you are shopping for real designer shoes on the internet.....watch out! Chances are, those Louboutins, just like the ones Jennifer Lopez wears, probably 'aren't'. In other words: theses are knock-offs from China.

Baby, those ain't the real deal!

Says who?

We saw an interesting segment on Good Morning America earlier today. And what we learned, is that those sexy Christian Louboutin pumps might look like the real deal on the shopping website. But when the shoes you purchased, arrive in the mail, well, the merchandise might not look as appealing. A snakeskin pump might look far too shiny to even mimic an authentic pair. Or the signature red sole of a Louboutin might reveal a bumpy texture, instead of the authentic smooth-as-silk red sole.

GMA's press release on the fake designer shoes:

"Buyers beware! In an age where billions of dollars are spent online on shoes each year, the counterfeit market has picked up on the trend. Fake Christian Louboutin and other top designer shoes are being sold for hundreds of dollars online as the real deal -- even though they are fake replicas from China.".

Maybe you don't mind, and still feel that the average eye cannot determine the real ones from the fake ones. Maybe so, but when you're shelling out $700 for a pair of authentic designer shoes online, well, you would hope you are getting the real deal.

Sadly, more often than not, these shoes probably 'aren't.' And it's so hard to protect yourself from buying an expensive fake replica, that we can't even tell you which online shoe shopping sites are the bad ones. There are so many out there.

Our advice....save your hard-earned $$$. And when you can really afford a pair of beautiful and flawless Louboutins, you'll know it, and head to a 'real store' that sells authentic designer shoes, that you can examine and try on in person.
