I’m not even going to go into Whitney’s crazy marriage with Bobby Brown or any of those times she made news because her strange behavior from the past!
When I was a teenager, I have to say that I never took to Whitney until the 1992 sound track to The Bodyguard. That song “I Will Always Love You” written by Dolly Parton was the song that really made me appreciate Whitney’s talent.
I always find it so heartbreaking to see people with so much talent have so many issues in life. I mean Whitney is the world’s “best-selling music artist) with over 170 million albums sold and yet, she’s had a very complicated, tumultuous and plain screwed last few years!
When she announced her divorced, I yelled Hallelujah and when Clive Davis from Arista Records declared in March 2007 that Whitney would be putting out a comeback album, I said “thank God”. Now with her second album (I Look to You was released on August 31, 2009) behind her, Whitney seems to be back on track to rebuilding a healthier life for herself.

Self Magazine recession-proof beauty favourites
I was watching the late night broadcast of “The View” and there was another segment on recession-proof beauty products. I’ve already featured a number of these segments on the site and there will be more to come because everyone is far more concerned about budgets than ever before. And women are looking for the best beauty products that are the most cost effective.
All the major cosmetic companies are fully aware that customers are stretching their dollars and that’s why you’ll notice more and more of them highlighting their best valued products.
You’ll also notice that most beauty editors and beauty bloggers are putting to the forefront some of the best deals on the market.

Lloyd Boston’s ‘Closet Cases’: Another closet renovation show?
Gosh, do we really need another closet renovation/wardrobe makeover show?
I personally find that “Closet Cases” is strangely inspired by the Canadian show “Renovate my Wardrobe.”
I don’t know if the producers of the show were aware of the fact that here in Canada we’ve been able to take advantage of the expertise of stylist Peter Papapetrou and designer Glen Peloso for years now. The duo have been dispensing useful tips in how we can better organize our closet and how to update pieces that we like but that are no longer as fashionable as they once were.
Lloyd Boston is the face of closet renovation in America and he’s been everywhere lately promoting his gospel to the audiences of Oprah (the Queen of all closets since hers was designed by Nate Berkus), “The View” and “The Today Show.”

Marissa Tomei used Hoopnotica to get body into shape for the movie The Wrestler
With Golden Globe talk and Oscar buzz we’re all glued to our telly trying to catch a glimpse of our favourite celebs. I watched all the highlights from the 66th Golden Globes Award.
Marissa Tomei is back on the Hollywood scene thanks to her performance in the movie The Wrestler where she plays a stripper.
There’s no doubt that playing a stripper at any age might be scary, but when you have the chutzpah to do it in your 40s, I say bravo to that.

Robin McGraw is helping her fans live a happier and healthier life!
Follow me on Twitter
I know when Robin McGraw is talking about beauty on the Dr. Phil show because my stats go nuts. One year ago I started talking about Robin McGraw (aka wife of Dr. Phil) and I reviewed a few of her favourite beauty products. It took about one hour after posting those original posts to realize how incredibly popular Robin McGraw is among her fans in TV land.
I still think that one of the reasons she’s so popular is because she’s not trying to be someone else and I think people like that about her.
On Tuesday, January 6th, 2009, Robin McGraw joined her husband on stage with a team of beauty expert to once again transform a few fans over 40 (Sheri 47 and Shelly 42) who had let themselves slide to the bottom of the priority list.

She’s Got the Look is looking for models over 35?
Do you remember the 80s supermodel Kim Alexis? She was the blonde with a mole on her left chin. As a young girl and young teenager, I still remember Kim’s face all over the cover of my Vogue magazines as the pretty blonde American model.
A few weeks ago, I was channel surfing trying to get away from the gloom and doom news of the financial markets free falling when I saw this advert for “She’s Got the Look: The modelling competition for women over 35″. I just about died because I thought that Miss Fierce-Tyra-Banks had the monopoly on modelling competitions in TV-land and I thought that the prerequisite 18-year-old-size-zero-girl-with-no-curves was what TV audiences wanted to watch!

Ellen DeGeneres is the new face of Cover Girl Simply Ageless!!!
***I’ve included a short clip from Ellen’s show where she talks about the shooting of the CoverGirl advert at the end of this post***
This is really BIG news! Ellen is the new face of Cover Girl’s newest line of anti-aging products.
As a new generation of anti-aging makeup, Simply Ageless stays suspended over fine lines and wrinkles, making them look less noticeable and providing beautifully flawless-looking skin. It’s been formulated with Olay’s Regenerist serum! And the new age-defying foundation has been clinically shown to positively impact the healthy look of the skin for improved skin appearance over time.
The secret behind CoverGirl and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation is a solid emulsion technology that allows the foundation to stay suspended over skin’s imperfections. As it is applied, the unique Simply Ageless formula works with the skin’s temperature to transform the foundation from a cream to a liquid on contact. The liquid then forms an “invisible suspension system” that floats over the surface without gathering in lines, making imperfections seem to virtually disappear. The CoverGirl and Olay formulas work together to balance skin’s textural and colour variations in order to provide a smooth, even-looking finish.

Ladies, you can get jewellery seen on Lipstick Jungle at the SeenON boutique!
The only thing I like more than watching Lipstick Jungle is talking about how much I like watching Lipstick Jungle.
I’ve reviewed the many reasons why the Lipstick Jungle style and fashion keepsme glued to my telly on Friday nights.
I wanted to remind my readers that the Lipstick Jungle Boutique on SeenOn.com has tones of the beautiful jewellery featured on Lipstick Jungle episodes and I just had to share this with other fans of the Lipstick Jungle show.

My favourite Lipstick Jungle fashion moments of the year!
I have to say that Lipstick Jungle has had the biggest fashion impact on me since Sex and the City. The difference between the two shows is the fact that I can actually see myself wearing many of the fashion and accessories featured on Lipstick Jungle, while Sex and the City was more of a “I cannot believe she’s wearing this” reaction.
I will admit to having many fantasies about walking in 4 or 5 inch designer shoes thanks to the ladies of Sex and the City, but since I’m already quite tall and I walk so ungracefully with anything higher than 2 inches, I’ve used the show’s influence to really take my accessories to another level because Patricia Field (the show’s stylist extraordinaire) has really showed us all how bold accessories can “make” any outfit.

Celebrities have acne, skin discolouration, dark circles AND wrinkles just like the rest of us!
I’m no one to indulge in watching the demise of celebs. I know it’s a popular sport and perhaps, I’d have millions of daily readers to my site if I actually did spend all my time tracking the debacle of celebs or track who got plastic surgery or too much Botox®.
Some days, I do wake up wishing that millions of adoring readers flocked to my site to find out if Jen Aniston found love or if Brad and Angelina are getting ready for baby #7 and #8 or why are Nicole Kidman’s hands looking so damaged and red lately.
