Beautiful Beverly Hills Housewife Kyle Claims It's Really The Pantene


Beverly Hills Housewife reality star Kyle Richards has incredible hair. And as usual, women want to know if that is all her real hair?! Or are those very expensive hair extensions?

The beautiful mom of three daughters has stated before, that those shiny, healthy brunette locks are definitely all her natural hair.

And we will take her at her word.

Kyle Richards walked the red carpet in plum last night at the annual A Night at Sardi’s Alzheimer’s Association benefit in Los Angeles. And once again, her crowning glory stole the spotlight.

This time she told reporters, that it is one drugstore hair care line that delivers enviable locks:

"This is the same look I’ve had my entire life," Kyle said. "The one time I cut my long dark hair and made it blond, people said I looked horrible, so that was enough of that!" Her secret hair tip? "Pantene! I really do just use Pantene."

And we also dug up this little beauty nugget from Kyle's Bravo blog, an entry made last November:

"I use Pantene on my hair. They changed the formula recently throwing me for a loop, but I’ve always used their deep clarifying shampoo and heaviest conditioner. If they don’t come up with one as good as the one I used to use, I may have to make my own!" she wrote.

We think the makers of Pantene should tap her to be their next shampoo spokesperson.

What we like about Kyle Richards IS her super long hair. Most hair pros would caution women over 40 about having locks that long. They say, that women should not have too much hair dragging down their features. Or that too much hair looks juvenile on an adult woman. And that shorter women like Kyle should wear their hair above the shoulders. And blah, blah, blah.

In our humble opinion, this long, goddess hair, really looks amazing on Kyle Richards. The hair is so glossy and healthy, and not stringy. And the reality star is 42 by the way. More power to her.

Meantime.....Kyle is busy working on a handbag line.

Pregnant Pink Tweets About 'Butchered' New Old Lady Do



"The woman that did my hair butchered it," Pink tweeted on March 13th. "I hate it."

Actually We don't blame her. It's not a flattering do. And don't even get us started on the gray-blonde tint. Very old lady.

Pink---you are only 31. Don't worry about playing around with silver strands right now. Trust us.....those pesky gray hairs will visit you at some point in your life, and then you can decide if you'd like want to keep them. Meantime....please go back to an attractive hair color shade.

We think the color is worse than the Dame Judith Dench pixie cut. But still, it's the do that has the talented pregnant singer barely cracking a smile at the recent movie premier of The Lincoln Lawyer. P.S....Bu we LOVE the hoops! And your face is glowing and pretty.

And apparently, a lot of fans agreed about her new cut. The pop star then added another tweet, "Thanks for pointing out how much you all hate it, too. Helpful."

There are some good things about your new hairstyle, Pink:

1. A pixie cut is a classic---gamine and playful, amd it shows off a woman's neck.
2. Hair grows very fast on pregnant women. So don't worry, if you really are crying tears over this bowl cut do. Hair grows back faster while mom is with child.
3. A very cropped cut is so in-----Emma Watson, Ashlee Simpson, Halle Berry, Kate Winslet, and other celebrities are all wearing some kind of pixie cut.
4. You can always COLOR over a bad dye job.
5. Play around with your new do. Spike it.....Halle does that. And it looks sexy and modern.

By the way, a baby Pink girl is due next month for Mama Pink and husband Carey Hart. This is their first child.

Congratulations.....and here's to a healthy baby daughter!

Julianne Hough's Quickest Way To Stop Cravings And Lose Weight: Gum




Dancer/Country singer/movie star Juliann Hough is doing it all at the young age of 22.

As a professional ballroom dancer, the blonde beauty is expected to have a super fit and stunning body. And we are sure, that her dancing work-out routine is responsible for giving her back a slender physique and flat tummy.

But even Julianne Hough gets sugar cravings, and we all know where that obsession can lead-----The facts show that the more sugar you eat, the more you want. So true!

So, how does the gorgeous gal-pal of American Idol's Ryan Seacrest put a halt to the cravings and hunger pangs??

With a stick of gum. Yep, that's right. Julianne Hough told Life & Style magazine this little dietary nugget:

"I can eat candy like Starburst and Skittles for days," she says. ""To conquer those cravings, I chew gum and drink water to fill me up."

Okay, we're not suggesting you go on a chewing gum and water diet to melt away the pounds, but Julianne makes an interesting and scientific point here.

You CAN lose weight by chewing gum:

Wrigley's gum has a group of researchers that look into the merits of chewing gum. The organization is called WSI, or the Wrigley Science Institute. Yeah, for real. And they conducted a study in 2007, that revealed some amazing things:

"Chewing gum significantly reduced caloric intake by 25 calories and specifically reduced sweet snack intake by 39 calories; salty snacks were decreased by 11 calories. Hunger and desire to eat were significantly suppressed by chewing gum at one, two and three hour intervals after lunch. Participants reported that chewing gum improved their mood by reducing anxiety and stress, and increasing contentment and relaxation."

Hey, we believe that chewing gum DOES cut cravings and helps you lose weight. We chew gum at night, to keep away the desire to indulge in a bad way.

Pop On A Poncho If You Haven't Already:70s Trend Continues Through Spring




Maybe you used to have a poncho. Or maybe you never got into the 70's Bohemian look.

Well, the poncho has been riding a somewhat quiet wave through fall and winter. And now the trend is heating up again this spring. Suddenly, it seems like ponchos are popping up everywhere.

For some, ponchos are lazy and not too stylish. But as we like to say....."This ain't your mama's poncho.". The 2011 poncho has evolved into a chic and elegant-over-the-head go-to cover-up.

Ponchos don't have to look like homely blankets or tacky tribal get-ups. The fabrics we've been seeing are quite delicate and rich-looking. And like all clothing, ponchos come in high-end and low-end price tags.

We found a variety of them at Nordstrom and Forever21. There's a poncho for every woman's budget.
1. Nordstrom Brazen Knit Jersey Poncho ($42) in viscose rayon. Heather Gray. We love the fluidity of this chic poncho.
2. Forever21 Knit Fringe Poncho ($19.80) in cotton. Fuchsia. We like the open crochet and bold fun, flirty color for casual wear.
Look around. You'll find tons of pretty ponchos out there. Get 70s inspired!

Cameron Diaz Gets Super Sculpted Buff Biceps By A-Rod--How About You?


Ever since Cameron Diaz started getting chummy with Yankees slugger A-Rod, we've all noticed her going sleeveless, more and more. And we've all noticed her new, super sculpted buff biceps.

Just last week on Jimmy Kimmel, the California beauty walked out on stage in a tight, white tank top and suspenders, showing off her ultra-toned triceps and biceps.

Who can blame her? Cameron has worked hard to achieve those sexy, 'bad-ass' arms, and obviously, Alex Rodriguez has been a big influence because the good-looking duo work out together at the gym.

And there's the key: You must stick to a strong weight-training routine to develops guns like hers.

But here's a thought: Has Cameron Diaz over-killed her arms?!

You either love this Madonna-Kelly Ripa-Cameron Diaz look, or you don't.

It's a bulky appearance, and might not look so great with a delicate red carpet gown. But we are sure, many others would disagree with us.

Look at the photos above. The top shows the actress following a gym work-out with A-Rod just a few weeks ago. And the bottom pic shows us her at the beach back in August of 2009.

We wrote about Cameron Diaz' already buff arms back then, and how she got them:

..."Believe it or not, this is a simple exercise routine. And you can get the 3-step plan right from the mouth of her trainer, Teddy Bass. He gave out her toning tips to People magazine.

Bass' three-step arm workout for Cameron Diaz:
Reverse flies (15-20 reps done by stepping into a lunge and raising arms parallel to shoulders), Tricep kickbacks (10 reps per arm done in a lunge, leaning forward with a flat back and extending weights behind close to the elbows)And 15-20 reps of Bicep curls.

Now to get the super sculpted buff biceps by A-Rod, well, that's a much heavier work-out. And we applaud Cameron for going the distance to attain her new toned look

Victoria Beckham's Pregnancy Style: Still 'Posh' Entering 5th Month


Gotta love Victoria Beckham.

The ever stylish, ultra-slender British beauty is still posh when it comes to pregnancy fashion. Reportedly entering her 5th month now, the designer is still wearing sky-high heels

And we're lovin' this: There's going to be a pink baby shower for Victoria. Yes...the 36-year-old mom of three boys is having a girl. And she and hunky husband soccer star David Beckham, are said to be over-joyed with the news.

Victoria Beckham is sporting a baby bump, but that doesn't mean she's going to end up in sweat pants and a big, tent top. No way! Look at the mommy-to-be at London's Heathrow Airport on Tuesday wearing skinny pants and studded Louboutins!!

Just how long the fashionable mama will be able to balance on sexy stilettos without taking big chances with her pregnancy, is still unknown at this point. But right now, Miss Posh ain't sacrificing her stylish moments.

We happen to like Victoria Beckham and adore her style as a serious fashion designer. She makes beautiful clothes. We wonder if she will design a pregnancy line at some point in her career.

Are you loving Victoria's pregnancy style? We can't wait to see what else she will wear when that hardly-there baby bump gets bigger and bigger.

No 'Jenny' Diet This Time Around For Kirstie Alley: Gone Organic




Kirstie Alley isn't calling on Jenny (Craig) this time around. One of the newest cast members to 'Dancing with the Stars,' is on a 2-fold mission:

1. To lose more weight. So far, she has dropped 60 lbs. and kept them off.

2. To dance her butt off on 'Dancing with the Stars,'.

And last night, the popular 60-year-old actress delighted the big crowd that turned out for the opening of the new Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison Store in Los Feliz, Los Angeles..

Let's be honest, taking off a lot of pounds and keeping them off hasn't been easy for Kirstie. But this time around...she ain't calling the Jenny Craig diet people for help. She's 'been there, and done that' diet. And following her 'Jenny' success, she had ballooned up to some 230 lbs. And it's been a frustrating experience trying to shed those extra, extra pounds.

But this time, it's different. Kirstie Alley has gone organic, and it seems to be working well. Plus, her stint as a dancer-to-be on the hit reality show 'DWTS,' should help her melt away more fat.

She told US Weekly magazine: "I've lost 60 pounds, and I have 30 or 40 more to go. And I think with this strenuous, rigorous dance schedule, I think it's going to work."

Well, dear Kirstie, if you are dancing with Max....you WILL lose weight. He is a strict, demanding dancing coach. And sexy, too, we might add.

According to the website, Organic Liaison ..."is a weight loss and diet plan that offers organic weight loss products, natural dietary supplements, and access to online diet and exercise tools to help you lose weight safely and effectively, all while having fun!"

The Organic Liaison store will offer everything organic and yummy.

By the way, 'DWTS' is back for a new season on Monday, March 21st on ABC. And we applaud Kirstie Alley for succeeding with her new organic weight loss plan, and having the moxie to appear on the popular dancing show, where size 0's and 2's are the norm.
