Sexy Sofia Vergara Plastic Surgery-Free? Makes Fun At Madonna's Face

Botox. Fillers. And plastic surgery. These cosmetic enhancements have been bouncing around the Hollywood headlines this week. Actresses accusing other actresses and celebrities of succumbing to the knife and/or too much Botox. And some, like Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher, posting Face Book photos without makeup, just to prove that she hasn't had any of that cosmetic stuff done recently.

What's going on??!!

The latest cat fight that has emerged, is the dopey one between sexy and younger Sofia Vergara of ABC's hit show Modern Family and Madonna. Actually, the iconic singer has not responded yet.

In case you might have missed this one.......the Colombian bombshell, at 38, gave an interview to Esquire Magazine, one in which the cat claws came out, and quite razor-sharp, we might add:

"L.A. is crazy. The women all look the same now," the Emmy nominee, 38, tells Esquiremagazine. "That thing with the cheeks. Like Madonna. Who do they think they're fooling? It doesn't make them look young. You end up looking like a freak." Sofia Vergara admits she may one day tweak her eyes. She also once considered a breast reduction, but her mom talked her out of it by telling her, "God is going to punish you if you cut them."

Sofia Vergara better pray the gossip rags don't find some before plastic surgery photos of her. There are rumors that Sofia's ample breasts were not the ones she was born with. And her upper lip looks thinner in some old commercial shots of her.

Meantime.....Madonna turns 52 next Monday. And yes, the singer has been talked about quite a lot these days, for the cosmetic surgery and fillers she supposedly has had.

The British call the look of too much fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, Collagen, Sculptra, and so on, pillow face, because of the over-inflated look these injections can create.

"A little filler goes a long way, according to injectables specialist Dr. Michael Prager:"The main problem arises," says Dr. Prager, "when celebrities don't just try to restore lost volume, but create a wholly new and artificial face. When I use filler, I'm not aiming to create something that wasn't there before. This is one of the biggest mistakes that can be made. Nor am I trying to create carbon copy or cookie cutter faces that all look the same."

Some people think Madonna has gone too far trying to re-capture the fountain of youth. But we think Sofia Vergara should be careful not to drop big names, because in Hollywood where just about every celebrity has gone under the knife or felt the sting of needles every few months, it could come back to bite Sofia in a major way.

Teri Hatcher Bare Face On Face Book To Show No Botox No Surgery

Teri Hatcher.

Hmmm. Would you say that she really is desperate, so to speak?!

Two days ago, the star of television's Desperate Housewives sat in her bathroom, makeup-free and turned the camera on herself, posting a bare-faced Teri Hatcher to the world, on her Face Book page. And two days later, we are still confused. But to Teri, what she did was a no-brainer.

Why? It was simple. The 45-year-old actress says she's tired of being accused of succumbing to Botox, plastic surgery, and/or implants. So, Teri Hatcher posted an album of self-portraits on Face Book to show women, especially, that she does have a few wrinkles, fine lines, and dark circles.

And this is a bit of what she wrote in FB:

...."Out of the bath getting ready for bed. Thought about all those damn critics of my face. Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what "they" say. Decided I'd shoot myself in to reveal some truths about "beauty" and hope it makes you all easier on yourself.

Did I every toy with fillers or Botox over the years? yes. Tell me does this look Botoxed to you?

Yes I am alone in my bathroom naked in a towel on behalf of women everywhere trying to make a point. Women YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
I can be mad, or confused or sad and tired. Julia Roberts had that same vein in her forehead in Eat Pray Love. Proud of Julia for being a real woman on a real journey.

45 year old me. Just me wanting to teach that all those glam versus trash pictures of celebs are about LIGHTING. It's not makeup it's not suregery [sic] or botox its LIGHT.".

We want to applaud Teri Hatcher for going makeup-free. Truly, wearing even a little bit of makeup makes a big difference in a woman's looks. And this shows it in an honest breath.

Yes, she looks lovely at 45. Do these photos from her bathroom prove that she has never, ever had any plastic surgery? No. Period.

We cannot prove that Teri Hatcher has done anything to her striking face. But we do know, after writing beauty articles, day after day, and interviewing the pros from the beauty and cosmetic worlds, that some beauty procedures are just that.....very subtle and not easily detected, when done right.

Teri Hatcher talks about that vertical forehead vein the she says she has and actress Julia Roberts also has showing on her forehead. Hate to break it to you ladies, but sometimes, the prominence of that vein, is a result of a Botox cosmetic injection. In other words, the vein can look more noticable after Botox treatments, as one plastic surgeon explains:

"A vein appearing after Botox may just be unmasked now that the muscle has been relaxed. When a muscle has more tone, it may press on a vein keeping it from being prominent. Once the muscle is more relaxed, that vein may be able to fill up more with fluid and become more visible. As the Botox wears off, the vein will go back down. "

We will take Teri Hatcher at her word, that she has no Botox, cosmetic surgery or implants at the moment. Why she felt the need to post an album of makeup-free self-portraits to her Face Book page is puzzling. She doesn't have to explain her attractive, youthful looks to anyone. She is an actress, and we understand the brutal culture we live in, where women are made to seem disposable after age 35 and where normal aging for a woman is unheard of, especially in Hollywood.

Maybe Teri Hatcher is just trying to survive on television. And so far, we think she is doing it well, with or without the help from a needle or scalpel.

Skechers Toning Shoes Don't Shape Beautiful Legs And Butt According To New Study

Sorry, Skechers.

The American Council on Exercise did a study, and found that toning shoes like Skechers Shape-Ups, "do not deliver the fitness or muscle toning benefits they claim."

Ouch! That means, ladies, that these odd, little shoes that make us walk harder do not 'build' us a better pair of legs or butt?! And these toning shoes do not help us lose weight?!

Well, Skechers isn't taking this one lying down. The popular shoe maker is fighting back, by claiming the study by the American Council on Exercise did not have any scientific basis. Skechers also says it would contest two new civil complaints against its Shape-Ups product line, saying the lawsuits were frivolous and targeted at extorting money from the company.

We've written before about toning shoes, like the FitFlop. And to us, the science seems pretty convincing. These shoes are purposely made to produce instability. That, in turn, signals your muscles to hold your posture. So as you take more and more steps, the body is being stimulated more and more and working more.

But maybe, Skechers has overly inflated the benefits of buying their Shape-Ups, by telling customers to, "get in shape without setting foot in a gym,". Still, there are many happy customers. We have read plenty of reviews, and a lot of women say these toning shoes give the entire leg and butt a strong work-out. And yes, women have lost weight wearing these shoes. By the way, the pair pictured above, are the Skechers Shape-Ups Xf-Accelerators ($100).

Remember the wooden-soled Dr. Scholls sandals from the 1970's? Those really gave your legs and butt a great work-out.And the Dr. Scholls company claims they are truly the original exercise or toning sandal.

We don't really care what this recent study shows. If women claim they are getting a good burn walking around in these toning shoes like Skechers Shape-Ups, then, let them keep walking. We don't see the harm in wearing these exercise shoes.

Women Still Talking About Recent Re-Touching Of Model By Ann Taylor

Re-touching. Photo-shopping. And now the popular retailer Ann Taylor is getting tons of publicity, but not the kind that mentions their beautiful clothing.

As long as the brilliant technology remains, we assume that 'designing' the so-called perfect, yet unattainable body, will continue with the images of ultra-skinny models selling clothing.

But when the gorgeous model herself, has been re-touched to appear even skinnier than she is in person, then we wonder what our culture is really trying to sell.

Website Jezebel.com recently uncovered an error admitted by the Ann Taylor shopping website, of a model having been photographed for the site, and then re-touched to appear much thinner. You can see the before & after shots(above) obtained by Jezebel.com. We think the before photo of the model shows a slender but healthy woman. The after picture shows a much tinier waist, hips, and bust, and all-over frame. We are confused with the photo-shopping and the reason for it.

And this technical glitch has been the talk-of-the-town for a number of days now. Ann Taylor got in hot water with another re-touching model incident a few months ago prior to this newest image altering.

Who cares? Well, a lot of women do. The models are skinny enough. This scary altering promotes a body image that is nearly impossible to achieve, even for an almost 6 foot tall model whose job is to maintain a very slender figure, to begin with.

The retailer told Jezebel.com that, "We agree that our re-touching has been overzealous."

We aren't picking solely on Ann Taylor. We happen to love their classic, lovely clothing. Even celebrated designer Ralph Lauren got raked over the coals several months ago, for an advertisement that depicted an extremely photo-shopped model, one who appeared to have a serious eating disorder. We are aware that re-touching or photo-shopping goes on quite a lot in the industry, for lighting purposes, and to make clothing appear more fitted and wrinkle-free. But erasing too many inches from a woman's body, makes you wonder.

Remember Naomi Wolf's best seller, The Beauty Myth? One woman commenting about the Ann Taylor re-touching error, left this quote from the book:

"More women have money and scope and legal recognition than we have ever had before; but in terms of how we feel about ourselves physically, we may actually be worse off than our unliberated grandmothers. . . . there is a secret "underlife" poisoning our freedom; infused with notions of beauty, it is a dark vein of self-hatred, physical obsessions, terror of aging, and dread of lost control. It is no accident that so many potentially powerful women feel this way. We are in the midst of a violent backlash against feminism that uses images of female beauty as a political weapon against women's advancement: the beauty myth."

Simple Smart Hair Tips By Celebrity Stylist Ted Gibson

Celebrity Stylist Ted Gibson. He sure knows a lot of famous and beautiful heads of hair. Women like Angelina Jolie. Anne Hathaway. Debra Messing. Eva Mendes. And of course, the heads of many models.

Ted Gibson is Manhattan style...east coast chic.

And we just stumbled onto some simple, smart Hair Tips 101 by Ted Gibson for Teen Vogue. We thought we would share them with you:

1. Don't shampoo more than 3 times a week. Washing too much strips your hair of natural oils.

2. Overnight treatments replenish your mane while you sleep. Apply product to roots, work it through to the ends, and rinse in the morning.

3. If you want to grow your hair, try taking a supplement called Biotin. I've told a lot of actresses to use this B Vitamin.

And these are Ted Gibson's Must-Have beautiful hair products:

1. Icera Ceramic barrel with boar and ionic nylon bristles ($22, at Spornette-Icera. Ted says this brush "promotes shiny hair."

2. Ted Gibson's own product line, especially, his Goodnite Serum ($99) with essential oils and botanical extracts. Ted says his Goodnite Serum is "replenishing and volumizing."

3. Ted Gibson Hair Sheet ($14.99). This one intrigues us. It's a 'revolutionary towlette application and formula' that makes hair soft and shiny. And Ted says his hair sheet "adds texture but isn't heavy."

4. Regular Steel Wire Hair Pins. The old-fashioned kind you can pick up at any local drugstore. Ted adores these pins to "keep your hair up all night".

5. Ted Gibson's own Professional Flat Iron ($175). A wonderful accessory to create smooth hair. And as Ted reminds us all: "Always apply a heat styling product before flat-ironing, to avoid damage."

Need Back To College Jeans? Jessica Simpson Showing Off New Jeans Line

Jeans. We all love them, and so does celebrity favorite, Jessica Simpson.

Did you know, that the average woman owns 8 pairs of jeans?! Some of you might even own double or triple that number of jeans.

We hate to say it, but many of you are heading back to college soon, and you will need some sexy, comfortable jeans....the ones that make your butt look incredible and your legs a mile long.

Jessica Simpson just happens to have a new collection of jeans out from her popular Jessica Simpson Collection. She loves wearing her Sunset Boot Cut Jeans all over town. And there she is, pictured above, wearing the flattering style.

The curvaceous pop singer recently told our friends at StyleList.com, that she favors the bootcut jean:
I am wearing the Sunset Bootleg in this photo," Simpson remarked. "I love a good bootcut because it elongates the leg."


And for about $49 a pair, you, too, can own some Jessica Simpson jeans.
Here are just a few from her new denim collection:
The Forever Skinny.
The Kiss Me Jeggings.
And the Vintage Flare.

You can check out the jeans at her shopping website.

The 30-year-old beauty seems much more at ease these days. She's got a hot new boyfriend in football star Eric Johnson. And she' s now gracing the September cover of Lucky magazine, telling People magazine this:

"I'm very happy. Right now in my life, I'm the most confident I've ever been. I can make that statement," she says.



What sweet revenge for Jessica Simpson. She took some nasty hits in the past about her weight, boyfriend struggles, and those now infamous 'Mom jeans.'. But she has turned it all around, and suddenly, Jessica has gotten the last laugh.

20% Glycolic Acid Night Cream By Vivite Repairs Sun-Damaged Skin

Vivite skin care has a superb nighttime Glycolic Acid cream that really repairs skin. It's called Vivite Night Renewal Facial Cream with 20% Glycolic Acid ($79, 2 oz. jar).

And what we really like about this line of skin care products is its lineage. In other words, the Allergan company that brought you Botox cosmetic and Latisse are also the proud makers of Vivite beauty products.

We have yahooed about the benefits of Glycolic Acid in a number of past Beauty Tip Today articles.

Why? Simply because the effective AHA, or Alpha Hydroxy Acid, is able to revive skin and bring back a smoother texture, clearer complexion, softer skin, and a softening of existing wrinkles and of sun-damaged problems like sun spots and melasma.

The beauty science can get complex, but in layman's terms, Glycolic Acid is the leader of the AHAs says Allergan:

Because of its smaller molecular size, glycolic acid is believed to be more effective for skin care than other alpha hydroxy acids

.

And Glycolic Acid can do all this:

• Exfoliates by thoroughly removing the uneven, “rough” layer of dead skin cells, resulting in a more compact stratum corneum (outer layer of the epidermis)

• Penetrates through the upper layer of skin to begin exfoliation from the bottom up, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Increases moisture retention by binding with water and pulling it through the stratum corneum, improving skin hydration and overall skin health.

And it's easy to use, according to the Vivite people: Just apply to the face and neck, once daily, in the evening. Just remember to use very little of the Vivite Night Renewal Facial cream around the eyes, because it can be quite irritating. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher everyday to prevent an increase in sun sensitivity.

Products in the VIVITÉ™ line have glycolic compound concentrations of up to 20 percent, whereas most over-the-counter skin care products have only a three to 10 percent concentration. However, the physician-strength glycolic acid in VIVITÉ™ is safe for at-home use, because it undergoes Allergan’s propriety process called partial neutralization, allowing for less irritation and greater efficacy.

Porcelana Still Around As Cheap Fade Cream That Really Works

Porcelana. The skin lightening cream has been around for years and years. And it has stood the test of time. Maybe your great-grandmother had a jar on her nightstand. Maybe you remember the old television commercials. We have now been noticing new ads for Porcelana in top fashion and beauty magazines.

Does Porcelana really work? Does it effectively fade away dark spots and age spots and other minor skin imperfections like uneven skin tone?

Yes. Dermatologists say that it is a gentle skin fading cream, but it is important to remember, that Porcelana does contain 2% hydroquinone. And hydroquinone is a drug that can be incorporated into many types of creams and lotions to fade discolorations in the skin.

For years, the best and seemingly only way to get rid of uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation, has been through a prescription of 4% hydroquinone. Some people have been afraid of using the prescription for extended periods of time, in fear of possibly developing cancer.

But skin experts say that hydroquinone is safe at these low concentrations.

Porcelana takes time to gently fade age spots, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. You must be patient and in the long haul, for the cream to show decent results---at least 3 months. You can pick up a small 3 oz. jar of Porcelana for less than $10 at your local drugstore. We found it for $6. And it now comes in two creams---one for nighttime, the other for daytime.

It's safe to use daily, although once a day is sufficient. It has a scent some people don't like, but it's not that bad. The Porcelana Nighttime consistency is creamy and thick. All you need to do, is apply a thin layer to the spots you want to target. And do not use Porcelana around the eyes. It can be irritating.

For less than $10, we think Porcelana is worth the purchase, and worth the patience needed. to see some good results.

Fade away, blasted spots!

Italian designers Dolce &Gabbana have done it again! Think black lace and timeless, nude makeup.

Don't look for anything bold and vibrant here. The color story is all awash in sexy nudes. Think sandy beaches and neutral tones like beige and gold. It's a barely there, quiet, sun-kissed palette.

The Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian Lace Makeup Collection for Fall 2010 includes:

1. Bronzer ($49). Beautifully imprinted with a delicate and lovely floral lace pattern.

2. 2 Lipsticks and Lip Gloss($30, apiece).

Runways Have Spoken: Thin Skinny Belts Are In For Fall Fashion 2010

Thin is in, when it comes to belts for fall 2010!

We are certainly sweating it out in the dog days of summer right now, but.....school is fast approaching, and you might want to check out the fashion trends that are knocking on your doorstep, ladies. In a couple of months, a cozy, thick sweater might be just the thing to curl up into. That, along with a beautiful, thin belt.

The runways have spoken, and hot designers like Marc Jacobs and VPL were getting the skinny on the thin belt trend for fall 2010.

No. You don't have to spend a few thousand on a decent, trendy skinny belt. If you shop around, you will find lots and lots of thin belts in many materials and colors and textures.

We found a great one at Nine West. It's called the Skinny Patent Studded Belt ($34). It's on back-order until 10/12, but you can pre-order it now.

This really cute skinny belt comes in black only and features an adjustable length with buckle closure. Approximately 1" wide.

And that's about how skinny thin we're talking about. And inch in width or so, makes for the perfect thin belt trend.

Check out stores and designers like the GAP, Ann Taylor, Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, and so on. We came up with snakeskin texture, suede, metallic, animal prints, leather, rivets, grommets, and a whole lot more.

Everyone looks tailored and classy wearing a thin skinny belt. It's not an over-powering look, either. It's quite timeless. I'd say, "It's time to go shopping!"

NJ Housewife Teresa Becomes New Face Of Tanning Salon

Reality TV star Teresa Giudice of the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey,' is really sizzling these days.

The bankrupt beauty has signed on as the new face for Sizzle Tans, which has salon tanning branches in Totowa, East Hanover and Parsippany, N.J.

In fact, the dark-haired mom of four little girls is being featured on billboards across the 'Garden State. Her entire tanned face and body will be seen by many, many people.

Teresa and her husband have racked up some $11 million in debt, so the reality star is just trying to pay the rent. The Giudices filed last October, and revealed to everyone, that they are planning to sell their personal belongings in a public auction on August 22. According to papers filed in Newark Federal Court, the Guidices claim to only make $79,000 a year between the two of them, and are unable to handle the foreclosures and huge credit card bills.

As far as Sizzle Tans go, "She's the face of our company," owner Rob Hornung told People Magazine. Sizzle Tans will run the ad on 10 networks. "She did a really good job shooting the commercial. She spent all day doing it. She's a great person," he added.

Teresa Giudice has a beautiful figure and we are sure, she will do the company proud. We aren't wild about indoor tanning salons. In fact, research shows that the damage to the skin from indoor and outdoor tanning, especially those of young women, is quite significant.

No one needs a long lecture here, but the statistics for women aged 15-39 are alarming. Studies show that deadly skin cancer is on the rise for younger women, but not for younger men. Cases of melanoma among women have jumped some 50%, according to a study published on July 10, 2008 by the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

We can only hope that Teresa Giudice isn't really using the tanning bed but using a tanning spray to get that gorgeous golden glow. Perhaps, she is just modeling for Sizzle Tans but not actively lying down absorbing all those harmful rays.

Meantime, it hasn't been easy for the 20,000 tanning salons located throughout the country. The salons were thrown under the bus last summer, with a 10% tax on indoor tanning.

Demi Quits Maple Syrup Diet For 21 Day Clean Detox To Drop Pounds

At 47, Demi Moore is in superb shape. But apparently, she still wants to drop some pounds, so the actress is tweeting about her latest diet dilemma.

Demi claims that she only lasted 4 days on the popular maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and lemon (yuck) diet drink, known as the 10-day Master Cleanse.

We don't blame Demi Moore. We would not have lasted, either.

If you look at the photo, you can see that Demi doesn't need to lose any major poundage. Here she is on the May 2010 cover of Elle Magazine(United Kingdom). She appears as youthful and slender as ever.

At the moment, according to Demi's tweets on Twitter, the actress is on a new cleanse-detox diet. And this one lets you eat real food. It's called the 21 Day Clean Program:

'2day’s day 13 4me on The Clean Program!' Demi tweeted on Tuesday.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a big fan of cleanse-detox diets, having blogged about going on a few to drop pounds and restore her digestive system.

The Clean Program was developed by a cardiologist, Dr. Alejandro Junger. And the dietary program looks sensible to us----consisting of a shake for breakfast and dinner, and a lunch that combines one vegetable, one grain and one protein.

If you would like to diet like Demi, and get 'your clean on,' it's available for $350. According to the Clean Program website, it's a 3-week diet-detox.

"The Clean Program is a 21 day detox program that is specifically designed for the person on the move. Unlike traditional cleanses, you need not stay at home while you detox on the Clean Program. This cleanse is designed for those who want to live their life and still get Clean.".

For more information, visit the Clean Program.

Bridal Buzz About Chelsea Clinton And That Funny-Looking Hat

All eyes are on Chelsea Clinton. The 30-year-old President's daughter is keeping her fans guessing about 99% of the details surrounding her Saturday nuptials. We do know that the wedding tents are now up at the Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, NY., a 50-acre private mansion/estate. This is where the bride will marry her groom, Wall Street whiz kid, Marc Mezvinsky.

The wedding price tag? Some sources report anywhere from $1 million to $3 million.

So what's the newest bridal buzz about Chelsea Clinton?!

Well, it appears to us, that she's hiding an elaborate braided up-do underneath that ridiculously, huge hat. She was snapped wearing the $80 Raffia Sun Hat by Hat Attack recently, heading into the Vera Wang showroom for a hair and makeup trial that she didn't want anyone to preview. And no, it's not a ruse......Chelsea will wear an exclusively-designed Vera Wang bridal gown.

As far as makeup goes, we are wondering if the bride will keep her signature natural look. Nothing heavily applied, but waterproof makeup is always handy for tears of joy and constant kissing,and the champagne toasts. No smudging makeup, please!! And we are most certain that Chelsea and her mom, Hillary, the Secretary of State, will both have a professional makeup artist creating their wedding day faces.

Check out makeup artist, Kandee Johnson's wedding day makeup primer on YouTube. She shows you how to get the job done on your own, because not every gal can afford a professional makeup artist on one of the most important days of her life.

Angelina Jolie Gets A Leg Up On Hollywood's Leading Ladies

Angelina Jolie.

Talk about getting a leg up.....The woman looks incredible as she makes her unforgettable entrance in a black, dramatic, Versace chiffon gown to the Salt premiere Tuesday in Tokyo.

The busy mom of six cutie-pies, has been making a world tour of her action-thriller flick Salt. She sure has. by reportedly earning $20 million for this movie.

We brought you a few of Angelina's diet and fitness tips here at Beauty Tip Today in an article last Saturday.

Now, let's take a closer look at the glamour of 35-year-old Angelina Jolie. Let's be honest....this is one hot Versace gown. It's a backless beauty. A few days ago, the sexy star wore black leather. Angelina's style is modern and edgy.

The British press has had a field day with Angelina's 'vein-bulging Madonna arms'. Big deal! The actress had a grueling training program for her cinematic role as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent on the run. She performed most of her stunts. We are happy to see that she is in such amazing shape. Angelina Jolie still looks flawless. No one is 100% perfect.

We like Angelina's makeup and trademark cat-eyes. Her look is always dewy and natural.

Here are some of the products her makeup artists have used to create her global appeal:

1. Lancome Le Crayon Kohl in Black Ebony (for lining eyes with definition and creating sexy cat-eyes)
2. Lancome Oscillation Mascara (for long, lush black lashes)
3. Shu Uemura Blush in M Pink 31 (for softness, a warm pink color)
4. Lancome Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling (for beautifully shiny lips with a hint of color)

Lindsay Lohan Locked Up But Still Launches Lucrative Leggings Line

Lindsay Lohan. The young, troubled star may be locked up in jail for a few more days, but she still has the smarts to try and re-launch her image and of course, rake in the cash.

Let's face it. A lot of young girls and young adults don't want to see any time behind bars, but they do want to look like pretty Lindsay Lohan, dress like her, and have her fun lifestyle and money. So, the idea of Lindsay re-launching her leggings/clothing line, 6126, has been well-timed.

We guess you could call it, "a comeback behind bars". Plus, the former child star is planning to give a $1 million post-jail interview, to whichever network would like to pony up the money.

Speaking of money....Don't worry about this confused and infamous, young woman. She's in jail for violating the terms of her probation. It's supposed to be a 90-day stint, but, it's only a matter of time before the crowded lock-up system lets Lindsay leave very early.

As far as the 6126 clothing line, it could be quite lucrative. Industry insiders predict it will produce $5 million in sales by year's end.

"It's amazing to think that someone like Lohan could actually profit from her time in a correctional facility," says MSN Money's Jason Buckland tells the NY Daily News. "One thing is clear: It pays to be dysfunctional."

The fall 6126 line features mainly leggings. A cute pair will cost you about $60. Some feature floral prints and some with sexy, lace peek-a-boo.

You can check out Lindsay Lohan modeling pieces from her new 6126 clothing line on YouTube.

And she has also recently launched a 6126 website.

Angelina Jolie High-Energy Diet And Training Tips For Salt Movie

Angelina Jolie is dazzling audiences in her new action thriller movie, Salt.

The Academy Award winner plays the role of a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt. And Ms. Salt is a kick-butt agent on the run. Angelina does some amazing stunts in the movie, and trained and dieted hard to get in super shape.

So, how did the slender and busy mom tackle such a demanding movie role?

Well, it wasn't easy. But we have some of her fitness and diet tips:

1. Eating a high energy diet of 5 small meals a day. No junk food. And alcohol was only allowed on the weekends. The diet plan broke down into a 70% carbs/30% protein intake. And according to what her stunt instructor, Simon Crane, told Self magazine, Angelina actually avoided cardio.

"Angelina has to have 70 percent carbohydrates and 30 percent protein diet with an anaerobic training regime (as opposed to aerobic), so she can put muscle on without losing weight."

2. Building muscle strength and stamina. Angelina worked out like a mad woman, because the Salt role included daring stunts with safety cables and wire rigs, as you can see in the photo above. That translated into tough, 2 hour training sessions, 5 days a week, including fight training and strength work-outs.

"For her fight training, we got her learning a combination of Muay Thai and Krav Magha (self-defense) very early on," Crane says. "We would then pick the moves she was best at and combine them into a sequence."

We hear that Salt is a great spy thriller flick and that Angelina Jolie does about 99% of her own stunts. And the woman is in incredible shape. In this case, the carbo-loading pays off.

Forever 21 Now Selling Maternity Clothes: Dopey Or Clever Marketing?

Shopping at Forever 21. Sure, the fashions mainly target teens. But then again.....lots of women who aren't teens also buy clothes there. And we've mentioned Eva Longoria Parker before, as one of the hot celebrities who loves Forever 21, saying, that shopping there,"was a guilty pleasure." And Eva Longoria Parker is in her 30's.

So, then, is there a problem with the department store now selling maternity clothes? Will teens who frequent Forever 21 be 'inspired' to get pregnant to buy some cute maternity clothes?!

Well, some people feel that way, including the YMCA in San Jose, California, whose city is one of the 5 selected Forever 21 store locations where the maternity line is being launched. By the way, San Jose, just happens to have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country.

One of the 'Y' staffers claims young girls should not be exposed to maternity clothes at their favorite teen stores.The staffer says that launching the line in the highest rate states, "could not be unintentional, especially since the line is opening next week in Nevada, another state that ranks high in teen pregnancy."

So, there you have it. Is it clever marketing? Or just plain dopey by the folks at Forever 21?!

"Forever 21 did not create, design or distribute Love 21 Maternity to target or appeal specifically to pregnant teens. Any relationship between teen pregnancy rates and the locations of our stores is unintentional," the clothing company stated in a press release.

Hmmm. We think Forever 21 knew exactly which of their stores to offer the new maternity line. However, you can also find the new line right at your fingertips here.

The new Forever 21 maternity line has some cute and affordable pieces. And we are sure, that a lot of pregnant women over 21 will be wearing the clothing, too.
