Oprah Tries To Make Point About Aging Beauties In Hollywood.

Oprah. When the talk show titan speaks, most women really listen.

But what was the point of Oprah's show yesterday? She had three famous actresses---youngest- Teri Hatcher, middle- Cybil Shepherd, and oldest- Lynda Evans. The attractive trio sat down with Oprah to discuss, aging, beauty, and what society expects when a woman gets older.

Frankly, we learned very little. We did get to see Teri Hatcher, Cybil Shepherd, and Linda Evans without makeup. Okay, that was a bit frightening, but very honest.

And we can only imagine how difficult it is for a Hollywood celebrity over 40 trying to maintain her looks and still play a significant role on television and in movies.

As the trio explained on Oprah yesterday, the fans expect celebrities to keep that perpetual and impossible appearance of beauty and youth. And that society worships young women and tosses the old for the new. Yeah, we get that. We've all known that for years.

The women say they have found that people tend to be disappointed by what they see in real life, because the public has become so used to seeing actresses as glossed-up cover models, which in reality, they are not. There's a lot of re-touching going on.

But Oprah did not go far enough. The only actress who was very honest about what she has done in the past to stay youthful, was Dynasty's Lynda Evans. She spoke about having a facelift at 50 because she wanted one and was seeing a man 12 years her junior, singer Yanni.

But has Oprah had any work done? Or used injectables like Botox or Juvederm? Why couldn't Oprah come clean?? Why didn't she press Cybil Shepherd further and Teri Hatcher, as well? And is it really a sin to use Botox?

We do expect, and probably foolishly, that our favorite celebrities stay gorgeous and young forever, but that's just the business they are all in. We also expect male celebrities to still look hot, and get disappointed when they are not. We think the same rules apply, although not as harshly.

Celebrities have a lot of money and resources to get the very best in anti-aging procedures and products. We don't think it's bad to try and stay healthy and attractive as we get into our 40s and beyond.

Look at Christie Brinkley, Helen Mirren, Sophia Loren, mama Kardashian Kris Jenner, and so many other women in the public eye. They are proof that women can still maintain sensible beauty when society tries to prove that they are beyond the so-called expiration date.

Salma Hayek Does Juice Cleanses To Melt Away Pounds: How About You?

Sexy actress Salma Hayek says she drinks them to shed pounds quickly. In fact, she believes so much in the detox diet, that she's the proud face of Cooler Cleanse.

"I’ve been doing juice cleanses for 15 years," she tells Us Weekly magazine. Now the movie star has teamed up with her friend and professional juicer Eric Helm to create Cooler Cleanse, a three- or five-day juice detox delivery program. ($58 a day). Detoxers consume less than 1,200 calories a day in six drinks, including almond milk and watermelon-lime. "I always lose weight," says Salma, who does light yoga during a detox.

And there are added benefits. More energy and healthier insides, according to Salma and those who believe in a liquid cleansing diet. She isn't alone, either. Slender celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, and Demi Moore have all admitted to detox diet cleanses. Some have gone on the detox drinks to get in super shape for a movie/tv role or to look slimmer for an upcoming red carpet event.

Most nutritionists and doctors pooh-pooh juice cleanses and any other kind of liquid diet because the calorie count is too low. Consider this--the recommended daily intake of calories hovers around 2,000 for a woman. Dieters will even go down to 1,400 calories. But that's the safe limit. The Cooler Cleanse is allegedly in risky territory at just 1,200 calories a day.

However, detox cleanses like the one Salma Hayek has put her name behind, only has the consumer in the program for 3-5 days, which isn't too long a time.

"My skin glows when I finish day three. And it inspires me to think about what I put in my body," Salma explains.

We think juice cleanses and other detox diets have their place in the world of staying slim, as long as the consumer follows the guidelines and doesn't abuse the program.

No One Wears Neutrals Better Than Demi--Hot Colors For Fall

Neutrals like camel, beige, taupe, grey, and charcoal, are not always easy to pull off in the world of fashion. But Hollywood's Demi Moore wears neutrals better than the rest. And for Fall 2010 into Spring 2011, this is the hot trend. Put your engines into neutral, ladies!

The actress has been putting on the neutrals for years now, with femininity and elegance. Stylists call this year's neutral fashions, a return to lady-like glamour.

We chose to feature Demi Moore, not only because she and Ashton Kutcher are making headlines these days, but for her sophisticated style evolution. The dark-haired actress and mom to 3 girls, has come a long way.

Demi Moore adores wearing a muted look on the red carpet, but in no way, are the colors she chooses ever boring or dowdy. She seems to favor nudes, taupes, and pale greys. And trust us, you won't fade into the background wearing neutrals. Instead, the look is a classic one, that never falls out of style.

Let's take a look. In the top center photo, Demi is wearing an Atelier Versace gown in buff. Oscars 2010.

In photo 2, we see Demi in a delicate nude chiffon Christian Dior gown. Golden Globes 2009.

In photo 3, the actress looks striking and sexy in a grey, beaded gown. 1995 event.

And in photo 4, Demi wows her fans in a taupe, one-sleeved Lanvin Spring 2010 dress. 2009 event. Demi was already ahead of the game, wearing it first.

Sometimes, a softer shade of color speaks volumes when it comes to fashion, makeup, and nails. And this season, is the time to try some.

Perricone Says Avocado Makes You Sexy And More Good Foods To Keep You Young

Avocados make you sexy?!

Let's put it this way.......if you believe anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone, then you would come to learn that this fleshy, yummy green fruit full of healthy fats, can actually increase libido. Hmmm. We eat one avocado a week. Need we say more?

Dr. Perricone has a new book out--Forever Young:The Science of Nutrigenomics for Glowing, Wrinkle-Free Skin and Radiant Health at Every Age.

Why should we trust him?

Well, he is a best-selling NY Times author. Remember that one? The Wrinkle Cure. Even we have a copy.

And Dr. Nicholas Perricone brings science to the art of beauty. At least, this dermatologist tries really hard to find, through tons of clinical and laboratory research, ways to keep women looking young and healthy, hopefully, forever.

Hence...his newest book, Forever Young. The doctor made an appearance on Good Morning America today, revealing foods that keep you looking and feeling young. And the humble avocado is just one of his picks.

Here are more:

1. Cinnamon. Just an 1/8 of a teaspoon daily, can reap major benefits. Dr. Perricone says that this tasty spice regulates blood sugar, which helps keep skin wrinkle-free. Cinnamon also has strong properties that prevent dangerous melanoma(skin cancer).

2. Watercress. This leafy green veggie is packed with minerals and diuretic properties to help remove toxins from the body. It's believed to prevent against cancer as well as target eye and skin health. Dr. Perricone mentioned on GMA that watercress clears up acne, too.

3. Salmon and other cold water fish. The orange-colored oily fish is full of good protein, which the body needs to maintain and repair itself as we age. Salmon also features omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants that battle inflammation, keep skin looking young.

"I always have considered my skin [my best beauty asset] because I got lucky: I have small pores. I am also very pale so I have stayed out of the sun most of my life."

Really? Small pores? We hate her already. Pores that you can barely see, are hard to come by. Good genes, girlfriend.

L'Oreal's RevitaLift introduces its newest beauty product, Revitalift Complete SPF30 Day Lotion. The 14-product anti-aging line is based on Pro-Retinol.

The L'Oreal RevitaLift ads featuring Julianna in print and on TV, will begin showing in 2011.

Beauty Tips From Newest Desperate Housewives Star Vanessa Williams

Sexy Vanessa Williams is sure to bring a breath of sultry air to the set of television's Desperate Housewives show, when the new season airs tomorrow night on ABC. She is definitely worth tuning in for.

At age 46, Vanessa Williams remains a beautiful, healthy, youthful-looking woman. So, how does the talented actress and singer maintain her great appearance? Please...some beauty tips!

For one thing, Vanessa is a proud and unashamed user of Botox cosmetic. She adores the number one injectable in the U.S., because it keeps fine lines and wrinkles at bay, and gives her back a rested and refreshed look.

"Twice a year I receive Botox injections from a doctor whom I trust very much. I also have some favorite beauty products that I use on a daily basis – Perfekt’s Skin Perfection Gel and Mila Moursi’s moisturizing oil," Vanessa Williams told Essence magazine.

We love that about Vanessa. She's honest about her beauty routine, and not embarrassed to admit, that even Hollywood lovelies resort to cosmetic advancements like Botox:

"It’s no secret that I receive Botox cosmetic treatments to reduce the appearance of the two frown lines between my brows that look like an 11 and give me a tired or stressed appearance."

And the newest Desperate Housewives star also dishes about another beauty tip she's been trying. "My new obsession is this treatment I’ve been getting from The Goddess Repair Shop. It uses micro-currents to firm, detoxify, and metabolize fat. It’s just an amazing machine."

And the gorgeous actress also told Shape magazine, that she keeps her curves by shaking her booty, and by sticking to a work-out routine:

"I work out with a great trainer in New York, Sal Gaglio. I try to weight train at least once or twice a week. I hit the treadmill if I’m not training. I’ll do yoga when I have the time. Also, I do a lot of salsa dancing. That’s a great way to stay in shape and be social.".

As for diet, Vanessa Williams likes to keep it healthy. "Go fresh. Try to steer away from anything that’s pre-packaged, canned or processed. I crave chocolate and sometimes I indulge. But I listen to that little voice when it says stop because you’ll see it in a few days and you’ll have to do more work to get it off."

Can't wait for tomorrow night's Desperate Housewives season opener!
