Jennifer Lopez knows how to strike when the iron is HOT...and her timing is exquisite.
The new season of American Idol kicks off this evening on FOX. And JLo is also launching her own health + wellness brand called Body Lab. The megastar has her HBO Documentary "Dance Again" attracting fans too. She also peddled her new book "True Love" a couple of months ago. And now her new movie "The Boy Next Door."
So---it's JLo time---over + over, again.
Jennifer Lopez is NO fool. At 45 she is in amazing shape, so her own brand to whittle your way to a HOT JLo body makes dollars + sense.
Now you can shake your own booty and enjoy some of Body Lab's new healthy items like Jennifer's Tasty Shake Complete Whey Protein Complex ($23.93,1 lb. at, Amazon).
We love whey protein powder, but we don't think you can build much muscle with a small 15 grams protein per scoop here.
The good news---only 90 calories per drink. That's a filling shake and great as maybe a replacement meal.
We applaud JLo for trying to give women some healthy, tasty options.
.
And if this tasty shake could give us all such a sexy bottom without working out, etc., well, we would stock up on all these Body Lab products now!

When Cosmetic Lip Enhancement Goes Wrong In The Name Of Vanity.....
Wow.....Just wow.
Former teen mom star Farrah Abraham is praying this is ONLYtemporary. Apparently, her lip injections took on a life of their on, following a session at the derm's office for lip enhancement.
The mom to 4-year-old Sophia suggested on Twitter today that something went wrong during the injections, landing the former porn celeb in the emergency room. Farrah's hashtags read #botched. #California. #ER. #fix it.
Talk about a duck face---- like the way reality star Kim Kardashian + sisters often pose. Word to the wise......This is scary. And we are SURE that this has happened to other stars who demand instant, BIG lips. Allergic reactions CAN occur.
We have to admire Farrah's honesty here. She could have hidden the problem, er, if she stayed indoors until the major swelling subsided. She did come forward.
Of course, Twitter members are having fun poking fun at Farrah's expense.
So, what dermal filler caused the alleged reaction?
Farrah has stated before that she has tried collagen for a trout pout. A derm will make you take an allergy test for collagen BEFORE you receive the lip injections.
So, it was probably another filler that does not require testing, such as hyaluronic acid, perlane, juvederm, etc,, that might have caused this unbelievable reaction.
This reminds us of the time Kris Jenner came down with a huge swollen upper lip on a 2012 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Kris claimed that a food allergy had caused her upper lip to inflame during a family vacation in the Dominican Republic.
Er,...okay, if you say so, Kris.
So next time you see a celebrity with enviable, very full lips, just remember, it probably took a few needles to pump up the volume. And most of the time, these injections go smoothly + safely.
Should you desire instant, big lips, make sure you go to a board-certified doctor who has experience in this area.

Keshia Knight-Pulliam First To Get Booted Off Apprentice: But Leaves In Style
Gotta LOVE "Celebrity Apprentice," but don't agree with Mr. Trump booting off classy Keshia Knight-Pulliam from the first, new episode last night.
Just wait, Kate--plus 8, you will have your day soon enough, sweetie.
The former Cosby kid, everyone's fave---little Rudy Huxtable, volunteered to be project manager selling pies with her all-female team. Unfortunately, the girls lost, and Donald Trump blamed Keshia for losing the charity task, because she refused to pull personal strings and contact Bill Cosby her TV dad to ask for a donation.
Having said all that, we couldn't get over how very pretty Keshia is. She has BIG, brown eyes with really long lashes.
And we did a little digging and found out her beauty secret. This is what she told BET.com:
We found a tube at Sephora for $27.50.
Great tip, Keshia.

Palmer's New Cocoa Butter Formula Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion For Winter Smooth Skin
We happen to LOVE cocoa butter---expensive, cheap, thick, thin, lotion, cream, etc.
And now we are thrilled about cocoa butter experts Palmer's + their NEW cocoa butter in a can. That's right. In a can.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion. It's available just about everywhere. We found a 7 oz. can for only $5.88 at Walmart.
Just twist + spray. It's really lovely + light. NOT greasy and NOT tough to absorb.
Great when you are finished showering. Spritz and rub in. Smells dreamy, too, if you adore that chocolate-coconut-y cocoa butter scent.
Let's be honest. Winter ushers in dry, frigid temps for most of us, and battling dull, dry skin that is thirsting for hydration is a common, beauty challenge.
This new rapid moisture spray lotion is quick + convenient and absorbs PRONTO!
Cocoa butter happens to be HIGH in fatty acids, meaning it can penetrate deeper into the skin and hydrate from within. Cocoa butter can also be helpful for those with sensitive skin and conditions like eczema + psoriasis. It's a soothing formula.
Spray lotions aren't just for summer, either. This Palmer's cocoa butter spray lotion is a good, beauty budget buy for winter dry skin.

Eye Shadow Just Won't Blend? Try This Quick Fix By Goss Makeup Artist
Eye shadow. It's fun to wear, especially when it GLIDES along your lids and stays put. But often, that is NOT the case.
We don't have a big shadow stash, but we like to switch between dark brown and + dark gray shadows. Sounds boring. But for us, neutrals are simpler to work with.
The problem we often find, is that matte powder shadows are difficult to BLEND. In fact, we observe that eye shadows often escape our lids and DON'T adhere well.
We found a good solution to try from pro makeup artist Wayne Goss who gives excellent demos on YouTube.
His makeup how-to's are FUN + educational. Plus he's such an affable + cute guy with sensible beauty knowledge.
So let's look at Goss Makeup Artist and his quick fix:
Moisturizer. That's it.
Just dab a tiny bit across your eyelids and up to the brow bone and let it sink in.
Wayne says you will notice an IMMEDIATE difference when you try to apply your shadow. It will go on smoothly.
And he's right. Sounds so simple....and it is.
Check out his YouTube demo here.
Wayne Goss is a YouTube rock star with about 1.4 million subscribers, our self included.
