Kate Middleton:Weight Loss Becomes Main Media Focus As Royal Wedding Nears

Poor princess-to-be, Kate Middleton, can't catch a bloody break. With the royal wedding just 8 days away, the media pressure is mounting to incredible heights.

Brideorexia. That's the newest label being pinned to the 29-year-old British beauty who has captured the eye and heartof Prince William.

Can you believe some of the nasty things being hurled her way:
1. Kate Middleton is wasting away. Looks skeletal.
2. Gone from a size 6 down to a sickly size 2.
3. Kate has 'brideorexia.'
4. She's so thin, her dresses just hang on her now.
5. Her face has become too gaunt---her chin is jutting out.

Really now. Even the Irish Times newspaper penned a column on Monday, criticizing the princess-to-be as being TOO skinny as size 6:

....."But Kate’s too thin, that’s the problem. I’m worried about the wedding dress. She was thin enough in the engagement dress. Then last week she appeared in a blue suit, gaunt. Her lovely knees knocking. Her beautiful face haggard. Is this the way the fairy tale ends – at a size six? Here is the wedding of the year or perhaps of the decade. Here is the happily ever after. And here is the message going out to young women everywhere: once you’ve found prince charming you can give up food forever.

This is serious stuff. Kate Middleton is a model of modern femininity. She seems like a nice girl – although she’s an adult and 30 next January. She appears conscientious, dutiful and beautiful – and she is shrinking before our very eyes. Just as her late mother-in-law did before her wedding 30 years ago...."

So...exactly how tiny has Kate Middleton become?

We're not sure. The tabloids claim she stands 5' 11" like the late Princess Diana. But those who went to school with Kate, claim she is not as tall, maybe around 5' 8".

Some reports say that the princess-to-be was a size 6 up until a few months ago, and has quickly shrunk down to a size 2, which would be very thin for such a long frame.

Other British news articles, claim that Kate Middleton has been on the Dukan diet, which favors eliminating simple carbs like sugars and starches from your diet. Instead, you indulge in low-fat, protein-rich foods, with the promise that you can jump-start weight loss and maintain it for the rest of your life.

Yesterday, the princess-in-waiting did a little shopping in London to add a few more pieces to her honeymoon wardrobe.

We can't imagine the insane amount of pressure Kate Middleton must feel, as the eyes of the world await the wedding of the century. So, to the prying media, "Leave Kate alone!"

Would You Undergo Laser Surgery To Stop Chronic Underarm Sweating?

Sweating is normal. That's how we cool down our bodies. But when your sweat glands are out of control, that's called hyperhidrosis. And now there's a newer, quicker way to stop excessive underarm sweating.

It's called, Axilase, a $3,000 procedure involving a laser that actually destroys the sweat glands. And it works, but would you try it?

So far, there is only one doctor located in New Jersey who is zapping folks' sweat glands, to cure this embarrassing condition of constant wet armpits.

Dr. Mitchell Chasin of Bridgewater has performed the minor surgery on 20 patients thus far. And says it is even better than Botox injections.

"It's performed in an office setting, takes about an hour to an hour and a half to perform. Patients are treated with local aesthetic, leave the office feeling perfectly well," Dr. Chasin told 'Good Morning America.', earlier today.

"With Botox, they're always wondering, you know, when is it going to wear off. Now we have an effective treatment that can be performed with minimal downtime," he added.

Destroying the sweat glands sounds wrong to us. But then again, if you have tried everything else, except surgery, and you're still sweating like crazy, then a few thousand dollars to stop sweating for good, might be your answer.

The laser procedure is safe, you're awake during the procedure, and you only need about 1-2 days of downtime.

Kardashian Girls All Get Waxed: Veet Has New Wax Strips For Face

We remember reading that reality star Kim Kardashian and her sisters all get waxed from head-to toe. And that mom Kris Jenner began this beauty ritual when her daughters were young, taking the girls to their waxing appointments.

Certainly, if you have dark hair, you might need a little more help in the hair removal department, than most. And if you are Mediterranean, like the lovely K. sisters, then you know what we mean.

Now comes Veet to the rescue! The well-known hair removal pros have been advertising a new product----Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips for the Face. No prep-time....the strips are ready to use, right out of the box.

Let's be honest. Women don't like talking about a few stray hairs in places they shouldn't be, and this product aims to zap them instantly. So, if you can't afford a big waxing procedure like the Kardashian sisters undertake, you can try this one in the privacy of your home.

According to the folks at Veet, their Ready To Use Wax Strips for the Face really work, because of these reasons:

VEET® has specially formulated these wax strips to act like a liquid during application, coating different lengths of hair, even those as short as 2mm.
When you remove the strip, the wax locks the hair – for effective hair removal.
Suitable for delicate body areas like the upper lip, chin, and eyebrow.
VEET® can give you perfectly smooth skin for weeks longer than shaving. The result is smoothness that lasts up to 4 weeks!

There are 20 face wax strips in a box. And the formula doesn't stink, either. Veet allows you to smell like a bouquet of roses. Pick up a box at drugstores or at drugstore.com, for just $4.99.

O.J. Prosecutor Marcia Clark Looks Younger Than Ever At 57

Who could forget Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial?!

Let's turn the clock back.....that was 16 years ago. We were all glued to our TVs watching the trial of the century, and examining every movement made by the then 41-year-old Clark--- from her courtroom clothing to her makeup choices, and short, curly do.

This morning, Marica Clark made an appearance on Good Morning America to debut her new book, a murder mystery, "Guilt by Association" (Mulholland Books/Little, Brown; pub date April 20; $25.99). And we can't believe how young this woman looks. Amazing!

We would not know that the woman with the brunette sleek bob and high, full cheekbones were the same Marcia Clark during the 9-month O.J. Simpson trial. The new Marcia is now 57. Check out the BEFORE + AFTER photos. We were pretty blown away.

So---does that mean the retired L.A. prosecutor has had either a super plastic surgeon or excellent dermatologist??

We can't say for sure, but Marcia Clark is doing something right.

We suspect that the pretty attorney-turned author is receiving filler, meaning, cosmetic injections like Restylane or Juvederm. These fillers act like plumpers, adding nice fullness and contours to the facial features.

Was there any previous plastic surgery done? Who knows. It's possible. But meantime, she looks darn good. She was toying around with light blonde locks, about a year ago. We are happy to see her return to her natural , dark brunette hair. Her skin looks smooth and youthful.

It just goes to show, that women in their 50s and beyond, can maintain an ageless appearance. And Marcia Clark is proof of that. A little Botox and a few shots of filler CAN make a big difference.
