Chocolate Lover Kim Kardashian
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Kim Kardashian is refusing to let her love of chocolate ruin her newly-slim figure.
The reality star recently shed 15lbs in weight, but is determined to keep her curves in check by making sure she exercises regularly to make up for her indulging in the occasional treat.
“I do love my sweet things and my chocolate but that only means I have to work out harder and more often. That’s the trick - you can have a little of what you like but then you have to balance that in some way. For me that’s exercise so it’s no problem.”
While she is happy to undergo regular workouts, Kim recently revealed she always needs to look stylish when she goes to the gym. The 29-year-old socialite - who recently launched her own work-out apparel brand Bravada International - said, “The line is something that I’ve aligned myself with because it’s something that I wear all the time. I mean, it’s really hard for me to find fitness clothes and the sports bras sometimes don’t fit, or the pants are all different sizes - this line is all only one size and it really does fit all my sisters and they’re all different sizes. It’s so stretchy, and it’s stylish. You wanna look good when you go to the gym. You wanna feel your best.”

Newlywed Lara Stone has been confirmed as the new face of Calvin Klein. The Dutch supermodel signed an exclusive deal with the fashion house to front its campaigns for Calvin Klein Jeans, Calvin Klein Collection and ck Calvin Klein.
“I have a long history with the Calvin Klein brand, and so it was wonderful to work with the house again this year. It’s like being part of a family.”
The deal marks the first time in years Calvin Klein have used one model to front all three of its brands and the firm’s creative director, Francisco Costa, thinks Lara’s perfect for the role: “I conceived my autumn 2010 collection with a self-aware and assured woman in mind. For me, Lara was the perfect choice for the new campaign because she is a woman who epitomizes confidence and sensuality.”
Lara - whose size 6 figure is deemed “curvy” by catwalk standards - has taken the fashion world by storm and is currently the face of Prada’s Infusion d’Iris scent, Louis Vuitton, Jaeger and Eres. She has previously said she thinks her curvy figure has helped her become a success.
“I’m different because I am fat. It would be nice if I wasn’t the only person with t*ts and an a**. If I could have the discipline to be super-skinny I would be. I think of dieting, then I eat pizza. I’m a woman, and every woman wants to be thinner - unfortunately.”

Fashion giant Talbots names Linda Evangelista as the face of their newest campaign.
The 44-year-old supermodel has been hired by the 63-year-old clothing company as it undergoes a re-branding. The mother-of-one was photographed last week by top fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for a glossy advertising campaign which will be launched in September.
“She possesses this timeless yet spontaneous glamour that’s irresistible in our minds,” said Talbots chief marketing officer Lori Wagner.
Linda, who fronted last year’s Prada Fall campaign and is the current face of L’Oreal Paris cosmetics, recently admitted she puts her make-up on 10 minutes. The beauty has learnt so many tricks during her 30-year career she only takes a few moments to perfect her appearance.
“I did my own make-up this morning and it takes 10 minutes, tops! My best trick is to do it in natural light. I keep all my make-up on a huge mirrored tray and I just take it to whatever window is looking good that day.”

Halle Berry Reveals New Perfume
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Halle Berry is launching her third new fragrance.
The Oscar-winning beauty has joined forces with cosmetics giant Coty to produce her new “floral” perfume Reveal. The 43-year-old admits she has been surprised by the success of her perfume range so far - her debut scent Halle by Halle Berry was launched last year and Pure Orchid just five months ago - and wanted to expand it further because she loves wearing different fragrances.
“I’ve always wanted to have my own scent. When I was younger, I never wanted to smell like every other girl in class. Even as an adult, I’d mix different perfumes together. Some days it would be great and people would say, ‘Oh, what fragrance is that?’ And I would say, ‘Well, it’s about five different ones!’”
Steve Mormoris, senior vice president of global marketing at Coty, said, “Halle is an actress and a very emotional person - she loves art and beauty, and she’s a great creator. Halle’s fragrances resonate with the consumer much more than we thought. We are double in size.”

Vanessa Paradis Inspired By Other French People
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
The new face of Chanel handbags, Vanessa Paradis, says French women inspire each other to be stylish.
The actress - who was raised in the suburbs of Paris - doesn’t think France’s capital is any more fashionable than other cities, it’s just that their way of life makes their clothes more accessible.
“I don’t think French women have more style. Maybe it’s because Paris is a city where you walk in. In America, everyone drives, and you cannot see what anyone is wearing when they are locked in a car. Here, everyone checks out each other. We communicate with clothes here more and, as a result, inspire one another.”
The 37-year-old beauty, who is a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld, also revealed how she has given up smoking to help stop the ageing process: “I quit smoking roll-ups, which helps enormously; that’s it. I do drink lots of water, though I like wine - Bordeaux.”
Quote of the Day: Lady Gaga on Feminism
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
“I am a feminist. I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women. The beauty of women, how a woman should act or behave. Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once. There is something mind-controlling about the way we’re taught to view women. My work, both visually and musically, is a rejection of all those things. And most importantly a quest. It’s exciting because all of the avant-garde clothing, and musical style and lyrics that at one time was considered shocking or unacceptable are now trendy. Perhaps we can make women’s rights trendy. Strength, feminism, security, the wisdom of the woman. Let’ make that trendy.”
- Pop singer and fashionista Lady Gaga on her feminist beliefs.
