Emma Stone Reveals Beauty Secret
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Emma Stone uses grapeseed oil instead of moisturizer.
The Amazing Spider-Man actress claims she is allergic to "almost everything" when it comes to her sensitive skin, but uses the cheap vegetable oil to stay looking fresh and blemish free: "I just use natural grapeseed oil from the grocery store on my face as moisturizer. After the shower, I pat it on, and then I'll use it throughout the day and at night."
There is one side effect of her beauty secret though, as she added, "I pretty much smell like grape all the time."
The actress - who has appeared in comedy roles for films such as Superbad and Easy A - has previously said she is not particularly vain, and doesn't always want to be sexy: "I think a lot of female actors have a real fear of not looking their best. They learn to prize their vanity over a role in which they have to look like a moron. "They're worried they'll damage their sex appeal. Thankfully, I have no problem looking like a moron!"

Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia is the new face of Young Versace.
The 10-year-old child of Cindy and Rande Gerber has been praised by the brand's creative director Donatella Versace, who says the camera loves her: "Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother's footsteps!"
Cindy is also delighted her daughter is following in her footsteps because she has such fond memories of being model for the Italian fashion house: "I'm so thrilled that Kaia was chosen to be part of the first Young Versace Campaign. I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace."
Cindy recently claimed models had a hard time getting work as they now had to sing and act in addition to looking their best. "I just saw the CoverGirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, 'Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.' You have to sing and act, too. There doesn't seem to be as much work specifically just for models."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models,
Tali Lennox's campaign for Karen Millen has been unveiled.
The daughter of Scottish singer Annie Lennox and Israeli film and record producer Uri Fruchtman is the new face of the British fashion label and creative director Gemma Metheringham is thrilled with the "uplifting" campaign featuring Tali: "To sum up the mood of the season, it is upbeat and uplifting, and this is reflected in our new campaign. Our collection has a lightness to it and, as this is the season of the separate. We are encouraging our customers to create their own looks and style using our wonderfully versatile pieces."
The 19-year-old beauty has replaced Victoria's Secret model Jessica Hart as the face of the campaign and Tali previously revealed she is thrilled with her developing career as a model because she never liked school: "I was never really the type who wanted to be at school. I don't believe in the pressure of having to follow a certain timeline. It's great when you're doing a shoot and it's something bizarre; you can feel really confident in a different character."
Dates for London and New York Fashion Weeks have changed in order to avoid a schedule conflict. NYFW will now take place from September 6 until September 13 this year while London will immediately follow from September 14 to September 18.
Moving LFW one week earlier than normal will help to avoid a clash with Milan Fashion Week which kicks off on September 19. "Both committees remain committed to finding a long term solution that would see a confirmed Fashion Season where brands and designer businesses in all four fashion capitals (New York, London, Milan and Paris), can plan for the long term and when exceptional circumstances arise there is dialogue and empathy to find a solution that works for all," said a statement from the British Fashion Council.
Steven Kolb of the Council of Fashion Designers of America added, "We've been back and forth on this. People are anxious and need to know the dates. There's no value for the cities to compete. In the spirit of working together, London and New York are in agreement that we will go in the earlier period, but with the hope that the four cities will come out of this confusion and work together to plan future show weeks. We need to begin to look at the fashion season not as individual fashion weeks, but very much as a global business."
Zooey Deschanel Relies on Bangs For Style
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles,
Zooey Deschanel's style is due to her bangs and eyes. The actress - who is the face of beauty company Rimmel - uses Orible shampoo, conditioner and hairspray to keep her hair looking good, but she struggles to understand why she ever attempts to change her style because always reverts to the same look.
"I'm all bangs and eyes. There have been periods when I've grown my bangs out, but I always cut them back, so it's like, why go through the trouble?!"
The New Girl actress also believes women should be allowed to "express who they are" without thinking about what they wear, so she doesn't see a problem with females dressing in a girly fashion if that's how they want to look. "If you feel like dressing like a girl, there's nothing wrong with that. I don't know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful. That's a very good way to keep women down."

"I wanted to be a good curator for JewelMint because I'm a good friend of Kate's and she's really talented.

Rihanna enjoys working out at 2am. Fitness expert Ary Nunez revealed the Bajan beauty - whom she has been working with for four years - is so dedicated to maintaining her trim figure and toned shape that she has the exercise guru on call at any time of the day in case she wants to train.
"Working with an artist like Rihanna has different demands than most. We train when she's ready...even if we're on the road and it's 2am in the morning. I'm on call 24/7 with her," she said.
During her workout sessions, the 23-year-old beauty tones her core muscles with an array of martial arts, dancing, and aerobic exercises - and Ary, who has worked with a number of celebrities, revealed the brunette singer exercises because she "loves it" rather than through necessity.
"Rihanna is so connected to her body. She used to work out because it was part of her responsibility, but now she works out because she loves it. We focus on the core muscles, and we do a ton of repetitions," she told Shape.
