The 48-year-old supermodel - who was once nicknamed "The Body" - is happy to embrace getting older as she doesn't think being younger always means being more beautiful.
"I don't believe that youth equals beauty or beauty equals youth. How I feel, how well I am is more important to me. It doesn't bother me becoming 50 at all, the alternative is death, so that is not an option. I rather like the idea of flowing on with life. I have had amazing life experiences and hopefully another 50 years of experiences ahead of me."
Elle - who has two children, Flynn, 14, and nine-year-old Cy, nine, with former partner Arpad Busson - recently renewed her contract with cosmetics brand Revlon and says it makes her feel the attitude of brands toward older people is changing: "That tells me this is not an ageist society, and Revlon is a modern company."

Kim Kardashian Wants Supermodel Figure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has learned to accept her curvaceous figure, but she still wishes she was thinner and wants to have a supermodel's figure.
"If I could have anyone's body, I'd love to be a supermodel. I'd love to be skinny for the day. It's a process. You have to learn to accept it. You have to learn to like what you see in the mirror, but there are definitely times when I don't. I'm built a certain way and you just can't change that."
The 31-year-old star - who is in a relationship with Kanye West - is "not always confident" about showing off her body, and despite working out at the gym on a regular basis, she has particular hang-ups about her thighs.
"In Hollywood, people are used to stick-skinny women, and that's never going to be me. Growing up, I'd look at those skinny models and feel like I looked different. I'm not always confident. I have hang-ups like everyone else - I've never been a big fan of my thighs. I work hard at the gym to look like this. It's not easy and I have to work at it every day of the year, and watch what I eat."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
"Creating a new fragrance or two each year has been a great way to express the changes I have gone through. Now I have a whole wardrobe of them to choose from, from light and beachy to mysterious and sexy," she said.
Paris - who has an additional 16 product lines - has generated $1.5 billion in sales with her fragrance collection, which is distributed by Parlux, but she admits she never expected it to be so successful: "What started out as just an interesting experiment became a real business very quickly. Every one of the scents I have done is still on the market somewhere. I will keep providing Parlux with new inspirations and will continue to visit our customers around the world."
Despite her busy schedule, Paris insists she is "very involved" with every aspect of creating her fragrances and particularly enjoys promoting her work.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
The 45-year-old actress prefers to go for a natural look and give her skin "a break" when she is out and about, and counts a good "lip balm" as beauty must-have.
"I hardly ever wear make-up. I like to give my skin a break - let it breathe," she said.
Despite going make-up free on regular occasions, Halle admits to being a big fan of using Kinara Spa skincare products and sunscreen, as well as snubbing smoking and excessive drinking to keep her skin healthy: "It's cleansing your skin, watching what you eat, no smoking, not too much drinking, no sugar - just simple. And using sunscreen! If you don't have a good base, then it doesn't matter what you put on it - it's not going to look as great as it could."
Halle - who has four-year-old daughter Nahla - recently opted for a curly hairstyle for her latest film, The Hive, and she sees her new-look locks as a fashion accessory "like a handbag or pair of shoes."

Victoria Beckham Gets Sheep Placenta Facials
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Rumors,
The 38-year-old star makes regular visits to Beverly Hills' dermatologist Dr. Harold Lancer for the anti-aging treatments, which cost $500 and contain gold particles as well as the animal stem cells.
"Victoria is a devotee of Dr. Lancer's products and is someone who always wants the latest and best in anti-aging treatment. She has had the stem cell facial several times already. She visits the office every two weeks when she is in town," a spokesperson for Dr. Lancer told the Daily Mail.
Dr. Lancer - who also treats Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Renee Zellweger - says the treatment gives "instant results" and helps reduce wrinkles.
"The treatment provides instant results. Patients report decreased wrinkles and a glowing complexion. The stem cells interact with your own cells, basically telling them to wake up, produce collagen and stimulate new cell growth. Gold particles are included as gold helps to diffuse the stem cells and acts as the transdermal delivery system to help it work into the skin," he explained.
Brooklyn Decker: I’m Not Great Looking
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models,
The Sports Illustrated model-turned-actress insists she isn't as attractive in person as she appears in her photo shoots and she didn't enjoy seeing herself on the big screen in her new movie What To Expect When You're Expecting.
"I have a glow, but it's good make-up. I cover up spots. Jeez, I'm not all that great in person ... And seeing myself all blown up on-screen? Times a million enlarged? My face looks like it's been PhotoShopped. It's unnerving," the 25-year-old blonde - who stars in the film alongside Cameron Diaz and Matthew Morrison - told the New York Post.
Blonde bombshell Brooklyn - who married tennis player Andy Roddick in 2009 - has previously starred in Just Go With It and Battleship, but admits her transition into movies didn't come easily: "I've taken acting lessons for some time. I'm lucky. I've done three movies. But nobody sees my two years of failed auditions. Lots of rejection - and I'm still trying. When nobody knew my name or who I was, there were a few guest shots but dozens of TV shows and pilots I didn't get. I'm used to the word 'no.'"

"I work out a lot and eat healthily. I think that health is wealth and it's important to keep your body in shape, inside and out. I try to exercise every day, even if it's just for 30 minutes. Even running around after my little one-year-old is like a workout in itself, plus I love to walk everywhere," said Miranda, who has a 16-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom.
Miranda says she enjoys the exercise although admits it can sometimes be hard work: "I enjoy the exercise that I do, so that keeps me motivated. There are times when it's tough, or you don't feel like it but once I get my workout gear on and I'm there I usually find that I can get into it and I enjoy it! I love yoga, I practice Pilates and light weights. They are the exercises that suit me and my body and that I enjoy so I stick to that. I've been doing yoga for over 12 years now - I like the [physical and mental] effect it has on my body."
Tyra Banks: I Used to Get Told I Was Too Fat
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,
The America's Next Top Model host has spoken out in support of Vogue magazine's anti-eating disorders initiative and she has slammed fashion designers for only hiring skinny models.
"When I was a model I was a four and then I started to become curvy and became a six and I got so many letters saying I was way too big and fashion designers were telling me I was fat. My mom got letters from designers saying they are not going to hire me anymore," she said.
The 38-year-old supermodel recalls being shocked at seeing models so skinny they had developed lanugo, a fur that can appear when a person is malnourished, and she is grateful to the publication's campaign for highlighting some of the issues in the fashion industry: "This is a really big deal as it's been an unspoken rule in my opinion that the fashion industry says it's OK to be as skinny as you can just as long as you can walk and you don't faint. I would see girls that had lanugo on their skin, a duck-like fur that comes on your body when you're anorexic when you're body is screaming out for warmth."

Jude Law is obsessed with manicures.
The actor hates it when his nails are not neat and tidy and regularly has treatments on his hands: "I'm obsessed with nail cutting. I've had manicures. I've become a bit obsessed about my nails. Playing a sailor in the play Anna Christie, I had to shove black make-up under my nails and couldn't scrub it all out for two months - it was a nightmare. I'm proud to say that my kids come to me, not their mum, to have their nails cut."
Although Jude takes care of his appearance, he doesn't like it when men appear to have taken too much time to look good.
"Men shouldn't be too groomed. I love the ritual of getting ready for an event, but you can tell when a guy has been standing in front of a mirror for too long. Over-trimmed beards, over-styled hair, perfecting a look for hours and pretending it's effortless - do me a favor! My routine is shower, aftershave and, until recently, trimming my beard, which I've had for nearly a year for Anna Karenina."
