Affordable Easy G: Will You Be Drawn To Giuliana's New Clothing Line?

E! hostess Giuliana Rancic is having an incredible time these days. She and husband Bill are anxiously awaiting the birth of their baby via surrogate. The blue bundle-of-joy is due at the end of August.

Meantime, the Fashion police star is busy at the Olympic games in London. There she is in the bottom photo holding her black leather Chanel bag close to her side. The 37-year-old breast cancer survivor is also excited to launch her signature clothing line with HSN in late September.

She spoke with the joeyparkermovement about her Affordable, Easy Collection:

"The main reason I wanted to create a clothing line is because I wanted women across the country of all shapes and sizes to be able to purchase fun, trendy and wearable clothes every day! By working with HSN on “G by Giuliana Rancic,” I am able to connect with my fans and tell them my story. I love that they can call in and ask me questions!

"It’s an extension of the entertainment industry that I am already in, which I love! I also feel that price is very important. I want to be able to reach as many fans as possible with great, affordable pieces. The price range of my collection is $29-$129, which I am very happy about.As far as fashion icons go, I look to both the past and present for inspiration. I love Sophia Loren’s sexy, bombshell style and I also love Jackie O’s traditional and chic style. My collection has a little bit of both in a modern way."

Giuliana says she doesn't want her fans to 'break the bank,' when it comes to looking stylish. Here's a clip of G talking about her new line G on YouTube.

Check out the cute G by Giuliana faux leather & ponte cascade jacket in Luggage & Black, $129.90, HSN and HSN.com. And how about these--G by Giuliana skinny jean in cobalt, $69.90, HSN and HSN.com.

Mama Kelly Ripa Gets Botox Re-Fill When Her Kids Notice

Botox.

It's still the number 1 cosmetic injectable. And yeah, probably 99% of Hollywood lovelies get pinched by the needle every 3-6 months to stay wrinkle-free. So, it comes as no surprise to allegedly hear that even NYC famous Kelly Ripa gets Botox, too.

But in her case, it's kind of unique for Kelly to recognize when she needs a Botox re-fill.

Huffington Post repeated a little tabloid gossip that's been going around. And we're going to share it, too, because we admire Kelly Ripa's honesty in a world of pampered, pretty celebrities.

If this rumor is true, at least the Emmy-award winning daytime host is keeping it real.

As most people know, Kelly and her family spend their summer weekends at the Hamptons. The TV star was reportedly overheard making these remarks:

"I work out absolutely every day. I don't overeat. I try to drink water but I prefer wine, and when all else fails, I get Botox injected right here, right into my forehead, as much as possible."

But that wasn't it. Kelly continued talking about the magic Botox injectable:

"Oh, you know when you really need it?" she said. "It's when my kids start asking me if I'm mad at them, and I go, 'Why do you think I'm mad at you?' They go, 'Because you're frowning.' I go, 'Oh no! I am? I'll be right back!' Give me Dr. Brant: He's the best, he is my real husband," said Kelly.

That's hilarious, if it is in fact, true. Kelly Ripa's forehead looks very smooth, and we don't note any elevens, or those two frown lines in between the eyebrows. Botox is especially effective for ironing away forehead lines and creases between the brows. We do see a few light crow's feet by the outer eyes. And that's about it. At age 40, Kelly Ripa is holding it together well.

If you aren't wild about getting poked repeatedly with a Botox needle, you could try the non-needle Botox. The British have developed organic Natox for $139.99:

No needles organic Natox - pain-free alternative to invasive anti-wrinkle injection products.
Lines become reduced - Smoother and refined skin tone.
Skin becomes more firmer and plump.
Improves hydration.
Creates luminous complexion.

Does it work? Well, some people love it. Check out the Natox website.

We're certain the results would not be as dramatic as the real Botox by needle, but if an over-the-counter beauty product can hold back the frowns for a while, it's worth a shot.

Kate Hudson's Sexy Eyeliner Tip Any Gal Can Do

Actress Kate Hudson wears it. And we wear it every day.

We are hooked on eyeliner, and have been for many years.

Our makeup trick is to use black liner on the upper lid, and dark brown liner on the lower lid.

That little beauty nugget comes from Kela Wong, Rachel Bilson's talented makeup artist.

Here's Kela's advice, and we think it works!

1. Wear black eyeliner pencil along the top lash line only.
2. Then apply a dark brown liner on the bottom.
3. "It keeps the eye open," Kela explains.

Lovely Kate Hudson has her own goof-proof eyeliner beauty tip:

"Put liner underneath the upper lid," she told People magazine. "It makes your eyes pop even more." That is known as the water line.

Beverly Hills Housewife Star Adrienne Maloof: Favorite $8 Beauty Tips

Never a dull moment on Bravo reality TV. We just learned today that Beverly Hills housewife star Adrienne Maloof is splitting from her prominent plastic surgery husband Dr. Paul Nassif. The couple have three sons and have been together for nine years.

Just a few months ago, it appeared that everything was just fine. The blonde beauty was happy to share a couple of inexpensive beauty tips. One is for her favorite beauty product. And the other, her go-to-nail shade:

"Define-a-lash lengthening mascara by Maybelline," she tells Gigisaffronever.com. "I have pretty long lashes but this just adds more length without clumping and is a beauty bargain. I also love a pink or nude lip gloss over YSL Rouge lipstick." Define-a-Lash Lengthening Mascara.

I’m wearing “Mademoiselle” by Essie. I love a classic look and neutral polishes are very pretty. I’m also a fan of a french manicure." Mademoiselle ($8.00).

Adrienne Maloof released a statement to RadarOnline.com: 'I'm so sorry that this is happening but my children are my life and sometimes we need to do what's best for them.'

She added: 'It's an unfortunate situation but, I have to have my kids best interest at heart.'

We have since learned that the Bevery Hills Housewives reunion show for Bravo is going to be filming tonight at an undisclosed location, and that Adriennne may bow out.

By the way, Dr. Nassif is asking for the separation.

We wish the couple all the best.

Simple As 1-2-3: Easy-Lites For Great Summer Highlights

If you have light locks and want to go lighter or blonder, have we got an at-home D.I.Y. product!

We have friends who pay lots of money to have highlights put in a few times a year. And most of them complain about the high cost.

Salon pro Marc Anthony has a wonderful highlighting kit you use along with your flat iron. It's called Marc Anthony Easy-Lites Highlighting Spray ($8.99, at ULTA). And BUY 1 Get 1 50% OFF, right now!

Do you desire sexy sun-kissed summer highlights?

This Easy-Lites Do-It-Yourself kit is a super 2-step process, but if you have dark hair, it might not lighten to the degree you would wish for.

This reminds us of the classic, cult fave, Sun-In. But with Easy-Lites, you see immediate results.

Since these are permanent highlights, that means that there is peroxide or bleach inovled. Please make sure your hair is healthy and free of directions ona box of Easy Lites:

"Be sure to read full product instructions carefully before use. STEP 1: On clean dry hair, select a section of hair to be highlighted and spray from root to end. STEP 2: Pass a flat iron over the section 5 - 7 times and watch the highlights appear. Read full product instructions for allover lightening directions."


Watch the excellent YouTube demo by the master, himself, Marc Anthony here.

Our locks are too dark to get a dramatic change, we think, but if your hair is lighter than Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, you could try this.

McDonald's Emphasizing The Skinny Fast Food During Summer Olympics

Let's get down to the truth.....A little fast food never hurt anyone, BUT, you probably won't get skinny visiting the golden arches or any burger palace anytime soon.

Having gotten that out of the way, let's be fair and take an honest look at McDonald's new promotion, 'Favorites Under 400 Calories,' which is now running in conjunction with the Summer Olympics.

Two weeks ago, we were longing for a McDonald's Filet 'O Fish and medium Fries, so, that's what we ordered. Now we find out the meal is ONLY 400 Calories?! Not exactly. Here's the McD fast food run-down:

McDonald's Filet 'O Fish sandwich.
380 Calories
16 gm. Protein
18 gm. Fat
39 gm. Carbohydrates
40 gm. Cholesterol
610 mg. Sodium

McDonald's French Fries (medium).
380 Calories
4 gm. Protein
19 gm. Fat
48 gm. Carbohydrates
0 Cholesterol
0 gm. Trans Fat
270 mg. Sodium

So, our McDonald's meal contained a total of 760 Calories with fat and a lot of Sodium. Yikes! Er...we used ketchup, too.

Plus, we drank a REAL Coke with our lunch. We don't even want to go there.

The bottom line---It's hard to get skinny at a fast food chain, but if you're just picking up a medium bag of fries, 380 Calories isn't the end of the world. Plus, these fries are amazing!

Purple Liner For Sexy, Perfect Eyes Say Olivia And Mila

Movie stars Olivia Wilde and Mila Kunis have some of the prettiest eyes in Hollywood. And they know how to show them off, too.

Okay, let's get a clue here. Most celebrities have professional makeup artists ready to do their stunning faces. And we believe that Olivia and Mila are no exceptions.

Both lovelies have revealed their sexy eyes beauty tip:

Purple eyeliner.

Grab a bottle of that, and you're good to go!

As Olivia Wilde recently told InStyle magazine:

"My eyes are my favorite feature to highlight--and purple really brings them out."

We can see why. Purple liner helps green eyes pop! And both Olivia and Mila have light eyes in the green/hazel shade.

We like Revlon's Colorstay Creme Gel Eyeliner in Plum ($10.49, at Walgreens ). Olivia is a Revlon ambassador for the giant company, but we also happen to believe Colorstay products are very good! And this purple liner is a great one and easy to apply.
