Use What Gwen Stefani Loves For Bleach Blonde-Tastic Hair!

How does SHE get away with it?

We're talking about superstar Gwen Stefani and her enviable, ooh-so-healthy, bleached blonde Hair!



Let's face it----maintaining a platinum do is NOT easy, especially when you keep on bathing your roots in peroxide EVERY 10 days!  That's heavy-duty:

Gwen is blonde-inspired by the original 50's bombshell Marilyn Monroe, and tells Harper's Bazaar that she keeps those pesky roots away, by using a beauty trick the movie goddess lived by:

 "Do you think Marilyn Monroe had to talk about this?" she asks, smiling. "Well, I heard she did hers with a Q-tip every 10 days, so I try to follow Marilyn's rule." I mention that she's never been photographed with dark roots, and she points to the houndstooth fedora she is wearing. "And you'll never see me with roots either."

So then...how does Gwen keep those delicate, easily-damaged blonde locks so super healthy?

Her stylist Danilo uses this stuff, and we found a bottle for just $6.27 at amazon.com!

Pantene Pro-V Ultimate 10 Bb Creme 5.1 Fl Oz.

It's a beauty balm for your hair. It SMOOTHs away the roughness and keeps frizz + strays at bay.

It's a protective styling aid, and by the looks of Mama Gwen's glorious platinum mane, it REALLY works.

Jane Fonda Is 75?! Has Beautiful Skin That Belies Her Age

Okay, we know that longtime actress Jane Fonda has had plastic surgery before. In fact, her most recent trip under the knife occurred about 3 years ago to touch up the eye area, jawline and neck.

And yeah, the Academy Award winner certainly has the funds to get the cosmetic enhancement done, but we think Jane Fonda HAS found the fountain of youth. She looks darn youthful at 75!

And her complexion is lovely! There's the grand dame in Hollywood last evening.

Sure, plastic surgery can LIFT + TIGHTEN, but the wrinkles will not disappear, as the actress explained in her blog,  back then:

...."I swore in 2000 I'd never have anything done again but this year I got tired of not looking like how I feel and I wanted a more refined chin line like I used to have so I changed my mind. I'm still a little swollen but not much and what pleases me is that I won't looked pulled or weird...or tired all the time. And my crows feet are still alive and well."

Adding...."I haven’t done so much that my wrinkles are gone. I don’t want my wrinkles gone. They’re the maps of my life."


So, how do you develop a nice, smooth complexion that can be maintained through one's later years?

By applying either Renova or Retin-A, the most important, prescription skin care cream that actually makes a difference. Both contain tretinoin, a Vitamin A derivative. This ingredient helps ignite cell turnover and softens facial lines + wrinkles over time.

Renova contains a more moisturizing base. Retin-A has a stronger base and can cause more side effects, like redness, peeling, etc.

Pam Anderson + Look-A-Like Kristin Chenoweth Get Matching Pretty Pixie Cuts

Out with the old hair extensions...In with the new, pretty pixie cuts, Pam and Kristin!!

Alright, we don't have proof that either blonde beauty had extensions BUT----the odds are, that there was at least a little faux hair sitting on their heads to give the look-a-like stars a mane with length + volume.

We do know that 46-year-old Pam Anderson is set to run the New York City marathon this Sunday morning, November 3rd. That's right--- a grueling 26.2 miles. Good for Pam! Maybe that's why she lopped off her hair, so she doesn't have to worry about sweating in long, thick extensions?

Pam has always been a blonde bombshell, and even with a boyish, pixie cut, we think she's never looked more feminine and youthful.


Looks very Mia Farrow, circa 1965, the famous Vidal Sassoon cut(below).
Then we have 45-year-old Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth, who also just happened to lop off her hair, too, right AFTER Pam debuted her very cropped style.

We find that Kristin enjoys wearing a similar hairstyle to Pam's, so it's interesting that she followed suit. The two blonde women resemble each other somewhat.

We believe that it's Kristin trying to copy Pam's look. Kristin claims she lopped off her locks to get ready for a new movie role. Either way, she too looks fab in a pixie do. It's not an easy look to pull off.

To give your pixie cut some EXTRA va-va-va-voom, try a little KMS Hair Play Clay Crème ($14.40). This stuff creates a "strong roughed-up texture with a strong yet movable hold with a very matte finish."

Would you chop off your mane into a pretty pixie cut?

OMG! Gisele Bundchen Gets Naked For Paris Vogue November 2013 Issue

Just when we thought Kim Kardashian's newest, over-exposed butt shot was too much for the world to see, now we have celebrated supermodel Gisele all naked, except for her carefully placed hands.

Gisele Bundchen strips down for Paris Vogue's November 2013 issue.

And there we were, placing judgment on Kim K's selfie, and remarking that the amazing physique of Gisele Bundchen would never be shamelessly put on display.

So, we apologize to all the great Kim K fans. It looks like just about EVERY female celeb is getting down + dirty these days. Clothing, or not much of it, is apparently NOT required.

Gisele fans would probably argue that the iconic model's nakedness is done artistically in a magazine as part of her job, and that her photos are NOT selfies.

What can we say...From Miley to Kim to Gisele, nakedness is pretty common at the moment.


Just remember, ladies, when you put your naked self out there, be prepared for the criticism that usually follows.

Some critics are already saying that Gisele Bundchen is TOO skinny to be showing that all off.

We're staying out of that one, this time.

Newlywed Kate Bosworth: This Trendsetter Gains Chic New Style

We have to say...actress Kate Bosworth was a vision in black as she and new husband Michael Polish walked the red carpet Monday evening at the New York City premiere of their new film, Big Sur.

We know....the gorgeous, blonde star is very thin, and there are critics out there who are bothered by her ultra tiny frame, BUT---we think she looks beautiful. Kate has emerged with a chic, new style.

We believe that she is a classy trendsetter.


And look at the intricate 'spinal plaiting' that her stylist created for the movie's premiere. Wow! We can see some faux hair woven throughout, but it's stunning, and Kate looks great!

She looks super glam She's hitting all the right notes with her classic makeup, sophisticated jewelry, and elegant Christopher Kane gown.







And take a peek at the beauty walking hand-in-hand with her suave, movie director husband earlier in the day. They are dressed perfectly for the big city.




Such style!

LOVE is in the air!!

All The Girls Buzzing About Maybelline's New Color Whisper Lip Color

We love drugstore makeup.

There...We admit it. We also love high-end cosmetics. Don't get us wrong. But there's nothing bad about buying brands like Maybelline. Most of us do, and enjoy putting it on.

You've read about our love for Great Lash mascara.  Always adored it, and have the familiar pink + green tube in our makeup bag at home.

Now, we're interested in the new beauty product Maybelline has been advertising lately.

It's called, Color Whisper by Color Sensational. And this stuff comes in 20 amazing shades.
Maybe it's the pretty Cameron Diaz-look-a-like model that is luring us in. Good advertising can seduce us all. But we like the natural softness of these brand new gel-color lip balm/lipsticks. There's nothing heavy about them.

Maybelline describes them this way:
Pure color pigments suspended in a weightless gel.
No heavy waxes or oils.
Soft, sexy gel-color.


And look at all these shades...from Petal Rebel, the one the model is wearing, and also shown in the tube below, to darker shades like A Plum Prospect.

If you HATE heavy lipsticks + glosses, then these new Color Whispers are just that---soft + natural.

A tube will set you back about $7.49.

Not bad for a little lip color, ladies.

Check them out here.
