Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally: Deranged Adam & Eve
Meet the real-life Adam and Eve. Apparently they're not Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
NYMag offers the "delectable charm and erotic pleasure" of Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman for Valentine's Day.
"Neither of us are paragons of physical perfection. That's why I pitched that nude-photo idea: It's as if we were Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but of course we're not. Yet before we met with you, Nick told me how beautiful I looked in my pajamas in the hotel. I didn't really, by somebody else's standards, but it's very nice to hear that, especially as an actress in Hollywood. Nick has said he would divorce me if I got Botox," says Megan Mullally of the photo shoot (as shown above).
"I'm very hairy, and men in film and TV are no longer allowed to be hairy. If you're going to be topless you have to wax everything. My uncles, who are farmers in Minooka, Illinois - I grew up with them and their pickup trucks and mustaches, and to me that was masculinity: big hairy sweaty guys who could pick up a bus," Nick Offerman shares.
Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman have been married since 2003. Megan is famous for playing the socialite Karen Walker on Will & Grace. Nick is the mustachioed head of the parks department Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. Their "delightfully deranged chemistry" has entertained the public in the recent episode of Parks, in which Megan guested as Swanson's ex-wife, Tammy.
An adorable Korean baby appears on a diaper ad spoofingDavid Beckhamin his famousGiorgio Armaniunderwear campaign.
"Children who are no longer using diapers can wear Good-Nites to prevent bed wetting. We show Good-Nites being worn as fashionable underwear to show children that Good-Nites aren't diapers," explains Korean advertising agency Diamond Ogilvy who created the ads.
Do you agree? Good. Let's get back to the ad.
To avoid child pornography, the baby cannot wear briefs while holding on the rope just like David Beckham. Still, the young fellow managed to pose like a fashionable man and it has nothing to do with the diaper. What he lacks in masculinity, he compensates with character. Check out the look on his face!
Twenty-five years after the 80s top music artists recorded "We Are The World" (led by the late Michael Jackson) to aid famine victims in Africa, the brightest recording stars of 2010 unite to sing the song once again and help the victims of Haitian earthquake.
The recording session of "We Are the World: 25 Years for Haiti" took place on Monday and lasted for more than 16 hours to complete. The original song's producers Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones helped to organize the project.
Haitian-born rapper Wyclef Jean told Radar Online:
"It was real emotional there was a bunch of kids from Haiti that were filming, survivors of the earthquake, and it was emotional. I was crying they were crying, but at the same time it was beautiful to see the music industry coming together to do what they can and bring awareness and make sure that the money that was raised goes to the right places and help rebuild Haiti. Of course people need water, they need food water and shelter but let's not just build houses that will turn into shacks ten years from now. Let's build real structures. Haiti was messed up way before the earthquake and now is the opportunity to really give them the stability and the structure they need to have a real future and participate in the world."
The new "We Are The World" single will premiere February 12 on NBC during the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics.

Jessica Alba shares some stuffs about her self during the LA cover shoot for Self magazine. In honor of her flick Valentine's Day, she discusses the things she loves. On top of them is Honor Marie, her daughter.
Jessica Alba loves Honor: "Honor is the best cure for stress. When I spend time with her, I get instant perspective. I can be hard on myself if I don't do everything perfectly. But now that I have her, there's no time for that. I want to teach her that you can learn from your mistakes, and if you keep moving and stay positive and loving, everything will work out."
Jessica Alba loves Cash Warren: "I love the way I feel after Cash and I wake up. Or talk on the phone. Everything! Every time I see him or talk to him, I fall in love with him all over again."
Jessica Alba loves CraigsList: "I've bought 70 percent of my house off CraigsList! I've found so many things: couches, tables, lamps. I love the idea of recycling furniture and there being a history there."
Jessica Alba loves to hate the paparazzi: "They drive dangerously close when they're following us and have caused a lot of almost-accidents. They curse, they've threatened people I've been with and they've called me every name under the sun and then taken a photo where I looked mad."
Jessica Alba loves pregnancy: "Pregnancy was the most incredible experience that I've ever had. So I'll take the stretch marks. I'll take the sagging boobs. I'll take the cellulite I can never get rid of."
Jessica Alba loves farm-life: "I'd love to be raising my kids on a farm in the South of France. My mother-in-law has lived there for more than 20 years, and she has a beautiful setup. I want to be able to allow Honor and my other kids, who I hope to be blessed with in the future, to maintain their innocence for as long as possible. There is so much time to be an adult."
George Clooney-led charity telethon, "Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief," has raised more than $58 million to help earthquake victims in Haiti, setting the new donation record by the general public.
"The public has set a new standard of giving for a relief telethon with 'Hope for Haiti Now,' and the donations continue to come in - people can still contribute 24/7 via phone, web and text," said Lisa Paulsen, president and chief executive officer of non-profit organization Entertainment Industry Foundation.
George Clooney hosted the event from Los Angeles while Wyclef Jean co-hosted from New York. CNN's Anderson Cooper reported from Haiti for the event.
Jennifer Aniston, John Cusack and Sacha Baron Cohen were just three of more than a hundred Hollywood celebrities who answered telephone calls from people all over the country who talked with the stars and pledged their donations.
The event, which aired live on Friday night in all major television and cable networks, also featured performances by Madonna, Beyonce, Coldplay, and John Legend who delivered a stirring version of "Motherless Child."
Internet social networks Facebook and MySpace also contributed to funds collection.
Johnny Depp And The 25 Most Stylish Men On The Planet
Larger-than-life actor Johnny Depp appears on the cover of GQ. The magazine's February issue is devoted to the 25 men in Hollywood deemed most stylish.
Although not wearing anything on the cover, the reason behind the actor's style goes:
"Johnny Depp's a unicorn - a really glamorous, one-of-a-kind eccentric. Usually guys try to fit in; they don't want to get criticized. At any red-carpet event, there are going to be guys who look spiffy in their Prada or Armani tuxedos, but you wait for Johnny Depp, because he's always going to look super-groovy and unconventional. He wears great man jewelry. He doesn't shy away from color. He's always peeking through his amazing hair. It doesn't matter if Johnny Depp's lying in a ditch - he's always going to look incredible."
Johnny Depp may be fronting the list of GQ's 25 most stylish men, but he is not on the top spot. The magazine's website also includes a poll for the featured article that allows viewers to cast votes for any of the 25 guy they think is the sharpest. Young Robert Pattinson gets the highest bid.
South Korea has one of the world's lowest birthrate at 1.19 in 2008. There are fears that the country's population will begin to shrink within a decade.
But South Korea's health ministry has come up with a solution: turning off the lights in its offices once a month to encourage staff to go home early and make more babies!
At 7:30 pm every third Wednesday of the month, the switches will be flicked to prepare staff to a different kind of work back at home, that is, helping the country boost its birthrate.
"Going home early may have no direct link to having more kids, but you cannot just completely rule out a possible link between them," says Choi Jin-Sun who is in charge of the project at the ministry.
Going home early to make babies - now, isn't that a noble cause?
South Korea is greatly pressured by low birthrate. With not enough manpower, the country may lose out in the global economic competition.
The lights-out conditioning is just one of the various schemes that the ministry has come out with to boost the birthrate. They have also offered incentives and cash gifts for staff who give birth to more than two babies. Other local governments have even tried matchmaking services to help the country.
South Korean's health ministry should also try herbal medicine alternatives toincrease libido!
Megan Fox is not-so-foxy anymore. A leading men's online magazine has recently made a survey of women in the entertainment industry who greatly interest men. The result is made into the list of 99 most desirable women of 2010. It is not Transformers superstar Megan Fox but lesser known Entourage actress Emmanuelle Chriqui who tops the survey.
In fact, from top 2 last year, Megan Fox falls down on the 11th spot for 2010. She's been bumped out by other gorgeous women deemed more desirable:
1. Emmanuelle Chriqui 2. Marissa Miller 3. Kate Beckinsale 4. Alessandra Ambrosio 5. Jessica Alba 6. Beyonce 7. Penelope Cruz 8. Cheryl Cole 9. Eva Mendes 10. Miranda Kerr
Overexposure is blamed for Megan Fox's declining desirability, particularly as a result of last year's racy interviews and seductive red carpet poses in which she often sticks out her tongue.
Perhaps men grow tired of her overt sexuality that they begin to notice the fresh appeal of Emmanuel Chriqui.
According to the website, Emmanuelle Chriqui is most desirable because she is beautiful as well as mysterious, a "reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour in the sense that the only glimpses we see of her personal life exist on red carpets." Emmanuelle Chriqui's role on Entourage as the down-to-earth, funny and nag-free girlfriend Sloan McQuewick also comes to men as the perfect woman that might just be attainable to the Everyman. "Hearing what that vote is made of is the biggest compliment of all because it's not just about being "hot" but about being a well-rounded woman. That's really empowering - people recognize that I care about other things," Emmanuelle Chriqui says so.
Looking for the perfect excuse to go shopping? Then this may be the right words to backup a shopaholic's confession:
Shopping is a healthy exercise!
A new study commissioned by Debenhams (England) has revealed that High Street sprees are good for your health.
While sorting through items at shopping stores each week, who would have thought that an average woman actually burns around 385 calories - the equivalent of a piece of carrot cake or two large glasses of wine?
Shopping eats up five calories every minute and for the average woman, that's 48,000 calories a year.
Shopping is a rigorous activity than say, sorting through book shelves. We trudge through stores to look for items not realizing we are already standing and walking for two hours, with shopping bags in our hands and elevated shoes on our feet.
We went home feeling exhausted, sometimes feet and back aching. And then we realized we did not take a break at pitstops - we literally shop until we drop. We are burning calories!
Gisele Bundchen Donates $1.5 Million To Haiti Earthquake Relief
Gisele Bundchen, supermodel and UN Goodwill Ambassador, is one of the many high-profiled celebrities who recently send donation to the Haiti earthquake relief.
The benevolent model has reportedly wrote a $1.5 million check to the Red Cross to aid the relief effort in Haiti yesterday. She has been prompted to pitch in after seeing the devastation done by this week's earthquake.
The U.S. Geological Survey has reported on January 12, 2010 that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck southern Haiti. Eyewitnesses have reported heavy damage and bodies in the streets of the capital and the U.S. State Department has told to expect "serious loss of life."
The American Red Cross is just one of the charities providing direct relief to Haitians following Tuesday's devastating earthquake. The organization has came up with the easiest way to collect donation for the Haiti earthquake relief all over the world - texting:
Text the word "HAITI" to 90999, and a $10 donation will be given to the Red Cross. The $10 donation will appear on your next mobile bill.
Another alternative is the Wyclef Jean's Foundation, Yele Haiti:
Text "Yele" to 501501 and $5 will be charged to your phone bill and go toward Hatian relief projects.
This may not come as a shock, more less a news. But The Hills star Heidi Montag is making an MTV's TRL of her own as she admits "I'm addicted to plastic surgery!"
At 23, Heidi Montag has already come under the knife twice. Her latest operation involves a staggering 10 plastic-surgery procedures, in just one painful day!
"For the past three years I've thought about what to have done. I am absolutely beyond obsessed. Every starlet is getting surgery every other day to keep their looks up. They just don't talk about it. I wanted to be honest."
Here's the 10 procedures that Heidi Montag reportedly had in a day:
1. nose job revision 2. chin reduction 3. mini brow lift 4. botox in forehead and frown area 5. fat injections in cheeks, nasolabial folds and lips 6. neck liposuction 7. ears pinned back 8. liposuction on waist, hips and inner and outer thighs 9. buttock augmentation 10. breast augmentation revision
And she's not stopping yet. Heidi Montag is now preparing to get DDD-sized breasts:
"I'm already planning my next surgery - I'm determined to get bigger ones!"
With visually dazzling landscapes and nature-loving creatures, "Avatar" has won the hearts of million audience. Except Vatican.
"Not much behind the images," says Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.
Avatar is highly-acclaimed not only for its awe-inspiring special effects but also for sending the message of saving the environment from exploitation.
But Vatican is wary. To them, behind the visual grandeur yet simplistic and sappy tale of the movie, therein lies the message that worship of nature can replace religion.
L'Osservatore Romano says the film "gets bogged down by a spiritualism linked to the worship of nature" while the Vatican Radio believes that Avatar"cleverly winks at all those pseudo-doctrines that turn ecology into the religion of the millennium."
"Nature is no longer a creation to defend, but a divinity to worship," they said.
But while Vatican's movie review on Avatar is disapproving, they also admitted that it is not theological pronouncement. They do, however, reflect the pope's views on the dangers of turning nature into a "new divinity."
Meanwhile, Avatar's daddy James Cameron says that the film's real theme is simply about respecting others' differences.
Eva Mendes And Jamie Dornan On New Calvin Klein Ads
Eva Mendes and Jamie Dornan are back for another steamy season of Calvin Klein ads. Though they are wearing lingerie last fall season and they are dressed in denim this time around, the ads present the same sexy scene shot by Steven Klein.
Both actor-models are covered in oil while grinding on the sand. On the first ad, the two appear shirtless while on the next shot, Eva Mendes wears a tank top and jean skirt though Jamie Dornan appears to be in the process of removing them.
The ads will appear on large billboards at the High Line and at the corner of Houston and Lafayette Streets, the site of the former Calvin Klein threesome image.
Steamy enough? Location can be everything when it comes to great... ads.
H&M And Wal-Mart Slash Unsold Clothes, Not Their Price
H&M and Wal-Mart, two of the largest retail chains in the US, have a trashy secret - instead of taking unsold items to sample sales or donating them to charity, they slashed them to unwearable pieces and throw them out in giant trash bags.
Graduate student Cynthia Magnus discovered the thrown clothes outside the back entrance of H&M on 35th street in New York City. Last December, she also found 20 bags of clothing outside of H&M including, "gloves with the fingers cut off, warm socks, cute patent leather Mary Jane school shoes maybe for fourth graders with the instep cut up with a scissor, men's jackets slashed across the body and the arms. The puffy fiber fill was coming out in big white cotton balls." Nearby, she also spotted hundreds of Wal-Mart tagged items with holes made in them that were dumped by a contractor.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Melissa Hill acted surprised that these items were found while H&M promised that the destroying of garments will not happen again.
According to The New York Times which reported this disheartening story, one-third of NYC's population is poor and that makes the behavior of H&M and Wal-Mart not only wasteful and sad, but downright irresponsible and selfish.
Charlize Theron: "Women are under so much pressure!"

"What's the skinny on today's models? Big is bigger than ever, and these bombshells of plus-size are proving that there's plenty of room in the fashion world for women who look like... women." - V Magazine
V Magazine's issueout on January 14 features plus-size models, little in clothes and big on attitude. Through the help of stylist Nicola Formichetti who has worked with Lady Gaga and Gisele Bundchen, these top models pose in tasteful FHM-like pictorial.
Although the photos of these plus-size models are still airbrushed, their bellies and busts are left unretouched to achieve the sexy-larger-woman look.
What do you think, exploitative or a welcome change?
Swarovski's 10 Years Of Supporting Young Designers
Jewelry designer Nadja Swarovski poses with clothing designerJason Wu and shoe designerNicholas Kirkwood at the ELLE photo shoot, as part of the company's 10th anniversary of sponsoring young fashion designers through the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the launch of the Swarovski Atelier collection to Swarovski stores worldwide in January 2010.
For every runway show that Swarovski funds and for every designer's business with the company's financial backing, the jewelry company showcases how young fashion designers create masterpieces with an endless supply of colored crystals.
"By helping all these young designers, she's really changed the perception of not only her company and the industry, but crystals themselves. They're not just for evening anymore... My work is about mixing the masculine with the feminine, and there is always an art deco feel to what I do in my shoes; working with jewelry was a great way to explore that as well," says the 30 year-old Kirkwood who has won the British Fashion Awards' Swarovski Emerging Talent Award in 2008.
"Ten years ago, designers wouldn't even speak to each other. Look, competition makes the world go round, and that's great for the consumer, but I think we've all learned that supporting each other is key to the survival of this industry," Nadja Swarovski says of her sponsorship of the CFDA emerging talent awards.
Aside from supporting young fashion designers, Swarovski is also recognized for elevating the crystal into the ranks of high fashion. (The company is planning to launch an Oscars collection, replete with men's jewelry designed by Stephen Webster for the spring 2010.)
"At the end of the day, crystals are cheaper than diamonds, and more women are buying more crystals than ever."
Plus-Size Or Skinny, Can Fashion Flatters Any Figure?
V Magazine's January issue features two women with different body measurements wearing the same clothes and poses in the "One Size Fits All" spread shot by Terry Richardson.
Plus-size Crystal Renn (5'9"; 36-31-41) and skinny Jacqueline Jablonski (5'9"; 32-24-34) provide a sizeable comparison to prove that "fashion can flatter any figure."
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but ideal beauty is a matter of millimeters.
The distance between a woman's eyes and between her eyes and mouth determines her attractiveness, a new study suggests.
US and Canadian researchers have found the golden ratio for facial beauty:
"That means a woman with a face 5 1/2 inches wide from ear to ear and 7 inches long from hairline to chin ideally would boast about 2 1/2 inches of distance between her eyes and another 2 1/2 inches between her pupils and mouth."
Women whose measurements varied from those markers were ranked less attractive by those who participated in the study. (They were asked to compare paired photographs of young, white, female faces with identical facial features but different distances between the eyes and between the eyes and mouth.)
The good news is that everyone can achieve the golden ratio by simply getting a new hairstyle.
"Our study... explains why sometimes an attractive person looks unattractive or vice versa after a haircut, because hairdos change the ratios," says one researcher.
If beauty magazines would use the golden ratio to determine today's most beautiful celebrities, guess who's the most beautiful person in Hollywood really is? "Angelina Joliedoes not have golden length and width ratios.Elizabeth Hurleygets the golden ratio for length but is different from the width golden ratio by one percent. But Canadian country pop musicianShania Twainhas both the length and width ratios."
Because the study only looked at white women, more research is needed to determine if the golden ratios for men's faces, the faces of people of other races, and children's faces, are the same as for the women's faces in the study.
New Year is just around the corner, but not for 32-year-old actress Brittany Murphy. She died before 2009 wraps up the list of remarkable celebrities that Hollywood has lost this year.
Sources said that the actress had gone into cardiac arrest and could not be revived on Sunday morning. She was pronounced dead on arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
While Police investigators said that cardiac arrest was not an indication of the cause of death, her suspected excessive use of drugs had been the subject of widespread speculation. It was even the subject of a parody sketch on a recent "Saturday Night Live" Weekend Update.
Brittany Murphy started acting in regional theater at age 9 and began appearing in television commercials by age 13. She starred on TV series such as "Murphy Brown" and "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" before breaking into film. She gained major recognition in such movies as "Clueless," "Uptown Girls,""8 Mile," and "Just Married." She also gave voice to Gloria the penguin in the animated film "Happy Feet."
In 2005, she was signed on as the spokesmodel for Jordache Jeans. That same year, she has been named to both FHM's 10 Sexiest Women List and Maxim's Hot 100. In 2006, she released the club hit "Faster Kill Pussycat." She also covered Queen's "Somebody to Love" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" for the film "Happy Feet."
Although Brittany Murphy's on-screen work has lessened of late, she still has five movies currently in production including "Poor Things" with Rosario Dawson, "Shrinking Charlotte" with Kathleen Turner, and "The Expendables" with Sylvester Stallone.
At Tuesday's red carpet premiere for Nine in Manhattan, Nicole Kidman posed for the press with a "shocking" new makeup trend: a mess of white powder dotting her eyes and nose!
Some say she could be sobbing right before the red carpet. Others believed she did it on purpose and it's getting exactly the reaction she wanted.
Nicole Kidman, 42, has lately been the subject of many scrutiny for her use of Botox. She has also turned heads at November's Country Music Awards when she debuted her newly-done lips.
Her new movie, Nine, co-stars Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Fergie, Marion Cotillard and Daniel Day-Lewis. It will hit theaters on Christmas Day.
InMadonna's spring 2010 Dolce & Gabbana campaign, she pretends to wash dishes and eat pasta.
The designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, say on their blog that the mood "isn't unlike a film from the days of Italian Neorealism. Madonna herself recalls the strong, raw sensuality of the iconic actress Anna Magnani - showcasing when soft sensuality meets bold authenticity."
To justify the claim for "authenticity," Vanity Fair asked the designers whether Madonna really knows how to wash dishes. Stefano Gabbana replied "Certainly... she's a very practical woman." And does she actually eat spaghetti despite her most enviable figure? "Of course. And she can allow herself to with all the exercise she does!"
Women consume an average of seven pounds of lipsticks in their lifetimes.
"If lipsticks are about .12 ounces per tube, that means women eat an average of 933.33333333333 tubes each, which just doesn't seem right or humanly possible," says NYMag.
Proof?
Check out this pretty girl who consumes her lipstick and various other sundries, literally.
Between the "ugh" and "eww, " you might want to be reminded of the craziness of our cosmetics indulgence.
The Italian government is out to introduce a legislation that will ban girls under 18 to undergo breast enhancement and other plastic surgery procedures.
The major reason for restricting minors to undergo cosmetic procedures is to clamp down the growing number of cases where unauthorized (and some authorized) surgeons have caused problems with botched operations or sub standard silicon implants.
"This legislation is primarily aimed at the growing number of girls under 18 who have breast enhancement surgery purely for fashion reasons and have no idea of the risks involved. Far too many adolescent girls are unaware of the fact that there are risks with this type of surgery and it should not be used purely for fashion and looks. At the moment we have a Wild West, cowboy style system of plastic surgery for young women and this must stop," says Francesca Martini, an undersecretary within Italy's welfare ministry.
As for the doctors who performed surgical operations, they also expressed agreement to the new legislation. Francesco D'Andrea of the Italian Society of Plastic Surgeons, says:
"We are very much in favor of this register because too many people carry out these operations without the proper qualifications. Banning under 18s from having the surgery is also a good idea because these girls are just too young to be operated on. Some surgeons have no idea what they are doing and create huge risks."
The Italian Society of Plastic Surgeons estimated around 85,000 breast enhancement operations a year in Italy, 70 percent are for aesthetic reasons and 30 percent for cancer treatment. According to the latest figures available, more than 10,000 teenage girls had surgery in 2008, with many of them getting the operation as a gift from their parents.
Since becoming a UN Goodwill Ambassador in 2001, Angelina Jolie has always been active with her human rights campaigns. One of her focus is the troubled region of Darfur. On Human Rights Day, La Jolie has released a Newsweek editorial that calls out on the Obama administration for its approach to the situation in Sudan.
Angelina Jolie writes:
"Their policy, though, raises a number of questions. How is the Obama administration's approach to Sudan an evolution of justice? In addition, when the administration says it intends to work to 'improve the lives of the people of Darfur,' I would like to know what that means, besides the obvious point that their lives could hardly get worse.
"The administration has not yet announced any serious moves to enforce the decision of the ICC and execute its warrants. There will be pressure on the United States and its partners to bring stability to Sudan, even at the expense of criminal accountability. Regardless of the rationale, the end would be the same: victims left without justice while perpetrators walk away.
"Like many Americans, I support the administration's willingness to engage diplomatically, even with regimes we abhor. And I believe President Obama and his special envoy Scott Gration will do their best to bring peace to the region. I also hope we will act sooner and more powerfully to prevent future atrocities."
So Angelina Jolie is supporting President Obama's method after all. She is just pressuring the administration to act (and hopefully give remedy) to the Darfur crisis. Only few people can do that, you know - appealing to the government with high-publicity backup - and a Hollywood A-lister like Angelina Jolie is one of the abled few.
Now she's taking her bisexuality to a higher level. In a video posting on internet streaming site, Tila Tequila announces her engagement to girlfriend Casey Johnson - heiress of Johnson & Johnson multinational company.
The 27 year-old internet pin-up has made her announcement while kissing her girlfriend and flashing a 17-carat diamond ring adding, "my baby is a f---ing baller. She's a billionaire! She's the heiress of Johnson and Johnson."
Tila Tequila and her girlfriend say that they are very happy and in a hurry to be wife and wife. For the marriage set-up, she explains, "We're what you call U-Haul lesbians, where you meet and fall in love and move in the next day and have kids."
Good news pet lovers! Celebrity dermatologist Jessica Wu shares the perfect anti-aging trick for you:
"Studies show that people become more relaxed and their blood pressure drops when they're talking to pets, and this is not the case when they're talking to other humans. Facial expressions also appear more relaxed - especially around the eyes - when people talk to their pets. That's right - the loving way you talk to your dog or cat may actually soften your crow's feet! People with pets even tend to make fewer visits to the doctor than people who don't own pets."
Isn't that the cutest karma that good souls get for caring animals?
"By her remarkable personality and career, Julia Roberts is an emblematic woman of her time. Her exceptional talent, her radiance and her strong commitments perfectly echo Lancome's values. We are convinced she will embody the brand in the most sublime way possible."
This is according to Youcef Nabi, president of Lancome International. Convinced of the Pretty Woman star's charm to act as the new global ambassadress of the brand, Lancome executives will reveal further details of Julia Roberts' contract next year.
