Gwyneth Paltrow poses almost naked for Vanity Fair calendar

Once considered the goody two shoes of-Hollywood, Gwyneth Paltrow has showed-her more risqué side by posing naked but for a pair of fishnet tights and Louis Vuitton jewelry for Vanity Fair magazine's August jewelry calendar.
Paltrow, who turns 40 later this year, appears as Miss August in a special Vanity Fair on Jewellery calendar.
Last year, she disclosed that she had followed-an arduous regime to get into shape wearing skimpy shorts to promote her film Iron Man 2.
On her website, Goop, she detailed the process.
After a 7am cup of green tea, breakfast is either a "Think Thin" protein bar or a "Clean Shake" comprising almond milk, powder supplements and "a handful of blueberries (optional)".
Then it is a 90-minute workout followed by a glass of kale juice - "a sort-of grassy-lemonade" - and on to a lunch of "super low carb, low calorie tortilla wraps".
Paltrow's recipe for Lemony Grilled Chicken to accompany the wrap is as follows: "Marinate chicken breast in lemon juice and a tiny (emphasis on tiny) bit of olive oil. Season well and grill. Serve with the steamed vegetable or vegetable salad of your choice."
An afternoon-snack of almonds or organic fermented tea is followed by Anderson's "super-low calorie" turkey kale soup for dinner.
A month earlier, she gave an interview to Vogue in which she said of her enviable figure: "Oh, I had to work hard to get it like this, but now I'm here it's so great because I don't have to think-about it. I can just enjoy life. What a relief that is.
"I can eat-what I want as long as I exercise, which is just as well, because if I put the word 'diet' into my brain, I immediately gain a stone."
Paltrow, an Oscar-winning actress, is married to Chris Martin, the Coldplay singer.
She regularly dispenses fashion advice through her site and recently teamed-up with a shopping website to select a handful of wardrobe "basics". She faced accusations of being out of touch when the price of her "capsule wardrobe" turned-out to be £11,894.
In March, the actress-signed a deal worth £560,000 with Atlantic Records for her debut album.
The move followed one of her roles in a recent film, Country Strong, in which she played a country singer.
She recently sang on the hit television series Glee, at the Country-Music-Awards and at the Grammys-where she performed Forget-You with Cee Lo Green - and at the Oscars, where she performed the nominated song-Coming Home.

5-Year-Old Baby Girl Becomes a Online Makeup Star

By NATASHA SINGH

Madison Hohrine of Hurst, Texas, is an expert at applying lipstick, applying-blush to the contours of her cheeks and applying mascara to her eyes.

She is such an expert, in fact, that millions of people are logging online every day to watch and learn from one of Madison's makeup tutorials.

What they see when one of Madison's videos pops up may surprise them.

Madison is just 5-years-old.

Despite her youth, Madison is a makeup applying, Internet sensation.

Her-tutorials on the video-sharing site YouTube, in which she covers everything from her favorite lipsticks, to what beauty products to buy, to how to bring out the colors in your eye with shadow, have generated over 1.2 million clicks.

Her video tutorial on the intricacies of makeup brushes alone was viewed more than 700,000 times.

Madison became fascinated by makeup as so many-little girls do, by watching her mom.

"I started watching the YouTube videos and she would watch them with me," Madison's mother, Mary Hohrine, told "Good Morning America." "And one day she just asked me if she could record herself just to see what she would look like doing the video."

A few brushes of blush and rehearsals in front of the camera later, and Madison was hooked. 

"Some people don't know how to put-makeup on," Madison explained to "GMA," of her fascination with cosmetics. "You can-put it on your eyes, your cheeks, your mouth -- it's so much fun."

What may surprise viewers of Madison's videos even more than her age, is the fact that the 5-year-old is not the only young makeup guru-turned Internet star.

Popping up more and more frequently next to Madison's videos on YouTube are those of other young girls, ages 3 to 11, who, like Madison, are just as well-versed in mascara as they are the fairytales and-alphabet letters more familiar to childhood.

QuestionsView Results

That young girls are-both using grown-up cosmetics and airing their makeup tips online has some parenting experts raising their eyebrows.

It's weird for a little girl to know about contouring and-makeup and angles," Dr. Logan Levkoff, author of the book "Third Base Ain't What it Used to Be," said to "GMA."

"We have a society-where we sexualize little girls, almost from birth on," she said.

In an age where celebrities, makeover shows and beauty pageants are all the rage, the trend is putting back in focus the question of whether little girls-and makeup is too cute, or too much too soon.

Experts such as Levkofk believe the young girls offering makeup tips online, and the public's fascination-with them, are the result of today's pressure-filled, beauty-obsessed society.

"The fact is all these 'Toddlers & Tiaras' shows, the products, whether it's push-up bras for tween girls or shapeups for girls to firm their butts, all of this-sends the message that our girls aren't good enough," said the New York City-based psychologist.

"It's the message that our-girls aren't valued."

But that is a message Mary Hohrine feels confident her daughter is not receiving.

"She is a normal 5-year-old," said Mary. "It's the same thing as if she's playing dress-up."

Mary says that does not mean she is not aware of the dangers of letting her daughter grow up too fast and so enforces strict rules-when it comes to allowing Madison free reign with the blush, eyeshadow and lipstick she flaunts online.

Though makeup made her famous, Madison is not allowed-to use products or wear any makeup on a daily basis.

"When she asks to be putting-makeup on every day, then I'll be getting worried," said Mary.

Kate Middleton Wedding Makeup Praised by Princess Diana’s Makeup Artist

By Rachel Watkins


Kate Middleton--took the beauty world by surprise a few months ago when the news broke that she would do her own makeup for her and-Prince William's Royal Wedding. It was a fearless move from the Duchess to be, as the ceremony was not only one of the biggest days of her life, but also one of the most photographed and watched events of all time with about 1,900 guests and an-estimated 2 billion viewers.

Now she's a beauty risk taker if there ever was one! But her willingness to play makeup artist also further demonstrated her practical and accessible-nature.
Middleton wasn't unprepared, though, for the Royal Wedding spotlight. She received some serious how to tips in the form of private lessons with London-based makeup artist Arabella Preston. The results were picture perfect, with-makeup that accented the Duchess of Cambridge's natural--beauty glowing skin, eyes highlighted with a slight shimmer, a rosy cheek, and a light-pink glossy lip. Her look was clean and understated, and many beauty pros gave her the thumbs up.
But, according to Hollywood Life, Kate Middleton recently received the ultimate seal of approval--from Princess Diana's own makeup artist, no less. Of Middleton's wedding makeup, Mary Greenwell recently gushed, "I loved it! I was very impressed--with her look and proud that she did it on her own. Of course, I would have loved to do it! But I was thrilled with how she-looked. She did an amazing job."

Greenwell also talked a bit about her opinion of Princess Diana's look. She was a natural beauty and did not need much makeup. Her look was very-simple, gorgeous and polished. Nothing too glamorous, more of a natural look that accentuated her-beauty.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley Transforms Into A Fashion Icon

by Jyll Saskin

You may have heard of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She’s a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Elle Style Award winner, British Vogue cover girl-and CinemaCon’s Female Star of Tomorrow. And she replaced Megan Fox to star alongside Shia LaBeouf in the upcoming "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon." Did we mention she’s a Victoria’s Secret Angel? This beautiful 24-year-old has accomplished quite a bit so far, but she’s still missing one of the industry’s greatest-honors. Well Rosie, it’s your lucky day today. We officially crown you this week’s Style Superstar. Keep reading to find out which outfit-earned her this honor, and which star should take style lessons from Rosie.
Rosie made our jaws drop in an elegant yet ultra-sexy Gucci dress at the Moscow premiere of "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon." The asymmetrical neckline, sheer chiffon skirt, soft chartreuse bodice and-thin belt combine perfectly to create this show-stopping ensemble. It was a tough call choosing between her sleek Michael Kors stunner at the film’s Brazilian press conference, her Dolce & Gabbana pants outfit on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and this Gucci beauty, but we knew this look was a winner-when Rosie managed to steal our eye away from her dreamy costar, Josh Duhamel.

Speaking of which, Fergie could take a fashion lesson from her hubby’s hot colleague. The Black Eyed Peas singer once again-earns a spot in our Style Superstar feature...as worst dressed of the week. The styling of this avant garde Louis Vuitton look is all wrong. To rock this leather/fuzzy jacket no easy feat, mind you she should have kept the rest of her outfit understated, sleek and simple. Yeah, we know, "understated," "sleek" and "simple" are three words that don’t exist in the songstress’ vocabulary. The black tights ruin the gladiator sandal-boots, the leather belt and cleavage ruin the-elegance of the jacket, and the severe red lips and silver evening bag turn the whole thing into costume territory. Her one-saving grace? Changing into a playful, polka-dotted Marc Jacobs-frock later on.

Kristen Stewart's Makeup Secrets Revealed

By Jessica E.

Kristen Stewart-- attended the premier of the movie A Better Life at the LA Film-Festival on Tuesday. She was escorted by Taylor Launter, her co-star in the Twilight movies. The pair attended the event to support the new movie directed by Chris Weitz, who also directed New Moon.

According to the Daily Mail, her current boyfriend, both in real-life and on-screen, Robert Pattinson, was nowhere in sight. Pattinson is currently in Toronto filming his latest movie, Cosmopolis.

Stewart looked absolutely radiant as she posed for pictures in a black V-neck shirt and jeans. Her hair fell softly around her face and her make-up was subtle, yet stunning. For hair like Stewart's, ask your stylist to cut layers-that begin at your jaw line. Apply a heat protectant spray and blow-dry your hair. Use a round brush to add volume and slightly curl the ends of your hair towards your face.

Her beauty routine prior to the event involved mainly Covergirl products according to Hollywood Life. Stewart's celebrity makeup artist, Fiona Stiles, revealed exactly how she achieved Stewart's look for the evening. To get the look, start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply foundation and powder that match your skin tone, then use a soft pink-colored blush on the apples of your cheeks to create a rosy glow. Next, apply bronze-colored eyeshadow along your lid. Use a plum-colored shadow to help define your eyes. Line your waterline with black eyeliner and apply just a touch of eyeliner along your top lash line. Complete your eyes by applying two coats of black mascara. Finish off the-look with a neutral-colored lipstick to add a subtle touch of color and shine.

Stewart shows that just a little-makeup can go a long way in achieving a casual yet beautiful look. Stewart's highly anticipated movie Breaking Dawn Part 1 is set to be released to theaters in November 2011

Makeup kit packed into a gun is for stylish Females

Dangerous-women would never carry around something as girlie looking as a purse, but they still want to look their best. To solve this dilemma, Dutch jewelry designer Ted Noten has created this scary looking pistol, but instead-of bullets, this gun packs seven essentials no femme-fatale would want to be without.


Each Seven Necessities Gun is built around the products of a different cosmetics house, so you can have a Dior gun or a Chanel one depending-on your loyalties.
In addition to lip gloss, mascara, and some perfume, the gun also holds a small piece of gold bullion for those quick escapes to Switzerland, and a thumb drive where you can store the contents of your little black book.


It also has a pill -holder where you can put some Viagra for those chance romantic seductions, although adding that without a condom holder would seem to be the only truly dangerous feature of the gun.


Whipping out the gun to touch up your makeup on the New York subway-would be pretty dangerous by itself, although at $11,500 to $17,000 a pop, chance are you'll probably be in a limo rather than on mass-transit.
