Baby Kardashian Keeps Kourtney in Shape
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Reality star Kourtney Kardashian credits her baby son with keeping her fit.
The 31 year-old gave birth to little Mason in December, and while motherhood means she no longer has time for the gym, she has found it has other benefits in helping her maintain her figure.
“My fitness regimen is basically non-existent right now. Although taking care of Mason keeps me very active, and I do take him on walks. I do jumping squats while holding Mason and he laughs so hard when I jump with him. I only do like three a day though.”

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,
While she may appear to have ransacked a Spice Girl’s closet, “California Gurls” singer Katy Perry is merely a divided
football fan.

Diane Kruger Embraces Her Flaws
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Actress and Karl Lagerfeld’s good friend Diane Kruger has become less critical of herself with age.
The actress used to strive for perfection growing up as a model but has now accepted that a beauty ideal is impossible.
“I’m OK having dark eye circles and not looking my best sometimes. It’s an attitude in life. I used to think it’s what we all think is beautiful - the perfect body, the perfect face, hair, but that’s negative and impossible to reach,” said the 33 year-old.
Diana also believes that everyone is beautiful in their own way.
“I truly believe that every single person has something beautiful about them, externally or internally. We always want what we haven’t got.”
Although Diane believes she has flaws, she is recently became the new face of Calvin Klein and will front the campaign for the fashion house’s new fragrance, Beauty.
Why Roberto Cavalli Began Designing Clothes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, News,
Roberto Cavalli became a fashion designer after making love to a pretty model.
The Italian style legend admits his first ever runway show was “terrible” because he was preoccupied with one of his female catwalk stars. “It was terrible. It wasn’t designing. I chose a pretty shy model and, of course, I make love with her. That was why I start to be in fashion,” he said, discussing his first show in Paris, France, in 1970.
Roberto decided to turn to art, and then fashion, after being urged by his mother to make up his mind on what career path to follow: “When I was 18, my mother said, ‘Roberto, you should go look for a job.’ I decided art was the only thing I would maybe like. I wanted a sports car and to enjoy life. I knew the more sweaters I printed, the more money I’d make.”
Roberto got his big break in the industry after discovering a unique six-color technique for printing on leather. “I showed people at Hermes in Paris. They wanted exclusivity on my idea. I thought, ‘If my idea is revolutionary, I should get to know the fashion world. I didn’t know anything about fashion, but thought it could be fun.”

Alexa Chung For Lacoste
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Former model Alexa Chung has become the latest face of Lacoste.
The TV presenter is to front a new campaign for the sportswear brand’s new female fragrance, which is set to be launched next January. The adverts will be the first of Lacoste’s to feature a female celebrity face, and sources believe Alexa will do the brand justice.
“Alexa will be perfect in the role and will bring a new audience to the Lacoste product,” a source said.
The 26-year-old beauty is in huge demand in the fashion world at the moment and currently fronts Pepe Jean’s Spring/Summer 2010 campaign as well as having a Mulberry bag named after her. In February, Alexa also launched her debut clothing collection for store Madewell.
“Madewell’s vision is kind of the same as mine. They like laid back styles, they like kind of relaxed clothes - classic, timeless things. So when they asked to collaborate, it was a perfect fit,” she said, commenting on the designs.
The collection had a heavy 60s influence with tea dresses, denim, high waisted skirts and velvet. She also insisted on bringing some British style to the assortment with the pairing of socks and sandals.

Just when we thought that fashion magazines would be more careful about trimming down celebrities for their covers, Rihanna‘s July Elle cover is raising some eyebrows.
Known for her toned yet curvy waist and hips, Rihanna’s waist looks unrealistic and derriere is nearly absent. While some may argue that her stance causes her waist to look smaller, this is true; however, compared to a candid photo during her January vacation, her bottom half still looks larger in a similar contorted pose. Has Elle gone too far in Photoshop?
If you’re still unsure, check out a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot after the jump.
