See Jessica Biel Without Makeup


 Jessica Biel is letting that newly engaged glow show through!

The future Mrs. Timberlake went makeup-free on a red eye from Paris to Los Angeles, which touched down Thursday morning. She emerged all smiles from the flight wearing green pants, a grey sweater, a lace top and a plaid cap.

During her jaunt in the City of Lights, the 30-year-old star was spotted leaving the boutique of Elie Saab -- the amazing designer responsible for not only several A-listers' red carpet wardrobe hits, but bridal gowns too.

Looks like Biel is taking no chances with her wedding dress when she ties the knot with her fiance Justin Timberlake -- unlike the chance that he himself took when designing her six-carat engagement ring.

"Jessica's stylist really wanted Justin to come to her when picking out and designing the ring," a source reveals to Us Weekly. "She obviously knows what looks best on Jessica, and what type of things she likes to wear. They talked about it [in advance] and then Justin completely went rogue without telling Jessica's stylist, and decided to design the ring on his own."

The source was quick to note that this doesn't mean his love isn't a fan of the bauble her fiance chose. "But I wouldn't necessarily say it fits her style," the insider explains.[usmagazine.com]

Rachel Bilson Flaunts Bikini Bod in Barbados with Shirtless Hayden Christensen


Rachel Bilson Flaunts Bikini Bod in Barbados with Shirtless Hayden Christensen
Who knew Dr. Hart had such an awesome beach bod underneath that white coat?


Rachel Bilson stunned when she hit the surf in Barbados Wednesday with on-again love Hayden Christensen by her side. The Hart of Dixie actress, 30, rocked a black halter top bikini as she swam with her boyfriend of five years. (Bilson and Christensen, 30--who have dated since 2007--split briefly in 2010, only to reunite a few months later.)

"Rachel and Hayden went into the water and were kissing...They were really sweet together," an eyewitness tells Us Weekly of the actress' beach outing. "At one point, Rachel was playing with her half-sister, Rosemary, and helping her build sand castles."

When it comes to staying in shape, the former O.C. star has spoken before about her workout and diet priority: feeling as healthy and happy as possible.

Last fall, she opened up to InStyle UK about choosing not to let the number on the scale, or what other people might be saying about her, dictate how she feels about herself.

"I eat, I love food, I wanna eat when I wanna eat," she told the magazine. "If you are not feeling good...then you work out. But you do it for you."[usmagazine.com]

Jennifer Lopez Wears Skintight Bondage Dress After Marc Anthony Files for Divorce


Jennifer Lopez Wears Skintight Bondage Dress After Marc Anthony Files for Divorce
Wednesday was a sad milestone for Jennifer Lopez, with estranged husband Marc Anthony filing divorce papers nine months after they announced their separation.


But the 42-year-old, who shares 4-year-old twins Max and Emme with Anthony, 43, didn't let the blues show as she reported to work on American Idol.

The judge looked absolutely stunning in one of her sexiest looks yet: a skintight mesh and leather bondage dress, complimented with flawless makeup and a "Love" necklace around her neck.

And it was otherwise business as usual for Lopez on Wednesday's performance show -- and the competitors marveled to reporters about the singer's professional attitude despite Wednesday's big news.

"Jennifer is a superstar," Colton Dixon said backstage. "I never would've known from her attitude tonight that that was released today. She's a class act and so genuine, she's a very independent woman and she knows how to handle herself."

Lopez's consolation prize, of course, is hot new beau Casper Smart, a frequent fixture on the Idol set.

"They are cute together!" Jessica Sanchez gushed of dancer Smart, 25.

In his divorce filing, Anthony asked for joint legal and physical custody of the twins, and requested that each party pay for their own legal fees.[usmagazine.com]

Pregnant Vanessa Minnillo : I'm "Trying to Eat Constantly"


Pregnant Vanessa Minnillo I'm "Trying to Eat Constantly"
She is four months along in her pregnancy, and so far, so good!


"It's going great! I have no complaints -- it's been fun," the Summer Wipeout co-host, 31, told Us Weekly at Tide and P&G's Take A Load Off event in Hollywood Tuesday. "It's been a fun process. Every day is a new adventure!"

Minnillo added that she and husband Nick Lachey, 38, "are beyond the moon excited" to become first-time parents later this year. "He's ready to be a dad!"

The couple doesn't yet know their child's gender, but Minnillo has already found a fun way to share the news with family and friends. "My sister-in-law found this great idea on Pinterest to put the colored cupcake cream in the middle. If it's a boy, you put blue, and if it's a girl, you put pink cream in the middle of the cupcake."

If they have a girl, Minnillo and Lachey have already settled on a name. Agreeing on a boy name, however, is more of a challenge. "We've been yelling them around the house to see how they sound and we call them to come to us," Minnillo said.

Minnillo told Us that while she hasn't had any cravings yet, she's "just trying to eat constantly and be aware of what I'm putting in my body and to maintain my caloric intake. . .The only gift I can give my baby right now is what I put in my mouth and how I am health-conscious about trying to stay active."

She added: "I'm not going throw caution to the wind. [My baby] is actually developing and growing. I think about everything I eat and drink."[usmagazine.com]

Tips : Stay Fit through your Pregnancy

There is 5 tips for mom how stay fit through pregnancy

1. Become active.
There are a host of activities that you can submit to when it comes to staying fit. You can try Pilates, yoga, walking, swimming, and other forms of exercise that will help you work up a light sweat. If it’s freezing outside, walk inside your home or ask your spouse to drive you to the mall so you can walk (as well as shop for cute maternity clothes!). Use good judgment on your exercise regimen because too much exertion that will keep your heart racing and your temperature up is bad for your baby. Make sure to get sound advice from your doctor about your plans of enrolling in an exercise class and tell him which one you want to take up during the course of your pregnancy.

2. Always stay hydrated.
Constipation and bloating (totally unrelated to your growing tummy) are two of the health issues that will keep you from staying fit. To combat these, drink a lot of water and fresh fruit juices. Even a vegetable smoothie will help get you the fiber that you need to help maintain regularity while staying hydrated. And while you’re pregnant, keep off carbonated drinks and caffeine.

3. Sit down. 
 All that running around will cause you to eat anything in sight. When your body tells you that it’s exhausted, sit down and your cravings will totally halt as well. Try it!

4. Try to wear pregnancy-appropriate clothing.
Pregnancy-appropriate mean that you wear the correct-sized clothes during stages of your pregnancy e.g. first trimester and so on. Wearing too loose clothing will make you eat more than what you need. So when going through racks of maternity clothes, choose those that can be adjusted to fit you while also factoring in what looks great and fashionable on you!

5. Choose baby safe and nutritious snack foods.
Consult your doctor about which snack foods are allowed for the duration of your pregnancy. If you have food allergies particularly over nuts, you need to get yourself tested to prevent adverse reaction. Chances are you’re safe snacking on carrots, celery, and raisins, along with a small bowl of ranch dressing on the side. [howtodothings.com]

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian Nearly Slips on NYC Steps


On Monday, pregnant reality star Kourtney Kardashian, 32, nearly tripped while walking down the steps in New York City's Bryant Park. Fortunately, the mom-to-be managed to regain her balance in her Christian Louboutin heels.

Prior to her near slip-up, Kardashian told Us Weekly that she finds it difficult to walk in heels while pregnant. "It's crazy. I almost did it yesterday morning for Easter, and then I was like, 'I can't. Sorry.'"

The eldest Kardashian sister, who's nearly seven months pregnant, said she's taking her time planning her baby girl's nursery. "We just started thinking about the vibe. It always takes me longer then anyone else," she explained while launching Window's Nokia Lumia 900 phone. "My mom's always like, 'I would have had it done by now. I would've done this and that.'"

She added: "I'm always like, 'People used to have babies in caves. And they were fine. Just let me figure it out in time.' I'm such a perfectionist -- I want the perfect wallpaper and the perfect color coordinating and the perfect lighting fixtures. I'm always looking on blogs for new ideas."

Kardashian -- already mom to son Mason, 2, with longtime love Scott Disick, 28 -- said she's yet to settle on a baby name.[usmagazine.com]

Christina Aguilera's Body Evolution

Weigh to go, Christina Aguilera! Christina Aguilera's Body Evolution

The five-time Grammy Award winner and Voice mentor has been scrutinized for her fluctuating figure in recent years, but the 31-year-old is happy with her body at any size.

"I've been on all spectrums," Aguilera said at a TCA press conference in January. "You can never be too perfect, too thin, too curvy, too voluptuous. . . I've been on all sides of the spectrum."

She added: "As long as I'm happy in my own skin, that's all I need. I'm happy with where I'm at. I have a boyfriend who loves my body. I love my body. My son is healthy and happy. That's all that matters."

Speaking to Marie Claire in February, Aguilera said she no longer feels pressure to look a certain way. "I happen to be very confident in my own skin," she explained. "It takes time to get to that place, but it's all about embracing yourself and your body."[usmagazine.com]

Lindsay, Ali Lohan Show Off Frail Figures in Barely-There Short Shorts


Out for lunch at a Los Angeles cafe Monday, Lindsay Lohan and her younger sister, Alianna, gave passersby quite the eyeful when they left Joan's on Third in very revealing ensembles.

Hiding behind a floppy tan hat, Lindsay, 25, showed off her pin-thin frame wearing a ruffled blouse that entirely covered what appeared to be denim cutoffs.

The troubled actress' 18-year-old model sis also gave the illusion that she wasn't wearing anything underneath her white blouse. In later shots, the teen revealed that she indeed covered up her bottom half -- with barely-there beige shorts.

As the Lohan sisters' styles turn heads, the pair both agree that there is one woman in their life who desperately needs a makeover: Their mom, Dina!

"My girls are always telling me to cut my hair," Dina, 49, told Us Weekly in February. "You know, you think you're fashion forward, and then you have children who are way more, but you make your own look [work]. But it's hard when you're girls are like, 'Mom, you're looking scary.'"

For her part, Lindsay -- who appeared nude on the January 2012 cover of Playboy -- says she's content with her oft-criticized frame.

"Sex and sexuality are a part of nature, and I go along with nature," Lindsay explained of her Playboy pics, which were an homage Marilyn Monroe. "Knowing yourself and your body is so important because it gives you confidence, and in life, women need confidence."[usmagazine.com]

Pregnant Tori Wishes : I Hope Baby No. 4 Is a Boy!

Tori Spelling Wishes : I Hope Baby No. 4 Is a Boy!
Tori Spelling already has two daughters and a son, and when she welcomes baby No. 4, she's hoping she'll have another boy, in order to even the playing field at home with husband Dean McDermott.

Confirming her surprise pregnancy March 23 -- just five months after welcoming baby Hattie -- Spelling tells Rachael Ray she's not the only one who'd appreciate more male energy at home.

"We would like a little boy, and Stella…she's now a middle child and when we told her about the pregnancy she said 'I hope it's a little boy for Liam,'" Spelling, 38, recalls to Ray in an interview airing Wednesday.

Liam, 5, and Stella, 3, were "over-the-moon and super excited" when the actress and her husband of six years announced they were expecting Hattie, but with their new sibling, due this September, "it was as if we had said, 'Oh we got milk today," Spelling recently said. "We brought home milk today and put it in the fridge and you can go help yourself to a glass.'"

McDermott, 45, on the other hand, couldn't be more proud of his latest accomplishment.

"Well, my husband got really lucky that night and then I got lucky. He's feeling real proud of himself," Spelling admits to Ray. "He's like a fluffed up chicken. Women walk by and he's like, 'Don't walk too close to me -- I've got the batter.'"[usmagazine.com]

Eddie Cibrian Pokes Fun at LeAnn Rimes Pregnancy Rumors


Eddie Cibrian Pokes Fun at LeAnn Rimes Pregnancy Rumors

Stepping out for a date night at the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas this week, the spouses of nearly one year poked fun at the incessant pregnancy rumors that seem to surround Rimes, 29.

Posing with his Stella McCartney-clad wife on the red carpet, Eddie Cibrian, 38, playfully put his hand on his wife's belly, offering a knowing glance to the cameras. But the couple doesn't have any baby news to share just yet: Turns out Cibrian and Rimes were playing a slick April Fools Day joke at the show, which indeed took place on April 1.

Since marrying Cibrian -- already the father of two boys -- in April, Rimes has dodged pregnancy rumors, frequently taking to Twitter to dispel them.

"I have never even tried [to conceive a child]. Please stop discussing my ovaries," the country star begged two of her Twitter followers in January.[usmagazine.com]

Jennifer Lopez Takes Twins to Meet the Easter Bunny

Jennifer Lopez Takes Twins to Meet the Easter Bunny Jennifer Lopez and her 4-year-old twins Max and Emme enjoyed an egg-tremely fun day with the Easter Bunny on Thursday in Los Angeles. The trio — joined by the "American Idol" judge's 17-years-younger boyfriend, Casper Smart (and a bodyguard) — were all smiles as the little ones made their way to the giant white rabbit for their Easter portrait.

Although Max and Emme didn't seem scared, Lopez, dressed down in a pair of white sweats and sunglasses, joined her kids for the sweet picture. According to E! News, Lopez, 42, had the Easter Bunny House attraction shut down so her twins could have their moment without any other non-famous children in the way.

A few hours later, after taping "Idol" (and premiering her sexy new video, "Dance Again," starring her main squeeze), Lopez and Smart returned to the same outdoor mall — but this time, it was an adults-only party.

The lovebirds mingled with the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tommy Hilfiger, and boy band The Wanted at the Planet Dailies/Mixology 101 party. Lopez, who usually doesn't drink, was spotted sipping champagne and snacking on burgers and fries. She even introduced Smart to the former governor of California![omg.yahoo.com]

Sexy! Sofia Vergara Wears a Nightie on Set of New Commercial


Sexy! Sofia Vergara Wears a Nightie on Set of New Commercial
Move over Kardashians -- Sofia Vergara is stripping down for her new Sofia by Sofia Vergara for Kmart collection commercial, and she’s looking h-o-t!


In one behind-the-scenes shot, the sexy 39-year-old is pictured getting all dolled up by her glam squad while wearing a silk nightie from her new spring collection of intimates, apparel and home goods.

Out on the set, she shows off her long and lean legs in the robe and towering high heels.

Later, she works the camera in cleavage-baring red lingerie while splaying herself across racy scarlet bedding.

Last month, the Modern Family actress opened up to Esquire magazine about baring not just baring it all in the bedroom but also out on the beach.

"There's nothing slutty about a dental-floss bikini," she told the mag. "You don't even think about it. The first bathing suit your mother buys you is in the shape of a triangle."[usmagazine.com]

One Direction: 5 Things You Need to Know



One Direction: 5 Things You Need to Know
When Boy band mania is back!


British-Irish quintet One Direction first made a splash when they came in third on the U.K.'s X Factor in 2010, and now the group is gaining traction Stateside, with the guys acting as the musical guests on this weekend's Sofia Vergara-hosted Saturday Night Live.

Ahead of the group's SNL performance, Us Weekly uncovers five things you must know about the hot new group, comprised of Niall Horan, 18, Zayn Malik, 19, Liam Payne, 18, Harry Styles, 18, and Louis Tomlinson, 20.

1. Signed to Columbia Records, the quintet is experiencing success similar to that of Beatlemania back in the day. Seeing their first album, Up All Night, debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts, One Direction is the first U.K. band in history to earn that honor. "People think that a boy band is air-grabs and being dressed in all one color. We're boys in a band. We're trying to do something different from what people would think is the typical kind of boy band," 1D's Horan has said. "We're trying to do different kinds of music and we're just trying to be ourselves, not squeaky clean."

2. Sorry, ladies! Band member Tomlinson is officially off the market, having dated Manchester University politics and sociology major Eleanor Calder since 2011. "She is a couple of years older than Louis, but the lads in the band think she's the female version of Louis," an insider told the U.K. Sun newspaper of model Calder. "She is gobby, loud and confident but pretty laid-back at the same time."

3. They came together by chance. All auditioning for The X Factor as solo artists, the members were put together into a group at the suggestion of guest X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger. Following their X Factor stint, the group signed with Simon Cowell's Syco Records and toured as part of the X Factor Live Tour in the U.K. They'll tour the U.S. -- making a stop at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden -- starting this spring.

4. Band member Payne has had his fair share of heath scares before hitting it big. As a kid, he had a kidney removed. "I don't drink at all because I have one kidney," he told Metro last fall. "I have just turned 18 but I don't touch alcohol at all. It's just a choice to be on the safe side."

5. Though they're just now taking hold in the U.S., Malik has long admired his North American entertainment industry peers. In fact, he's a big fan of Justin Timberlake! "My man crush...probably... Justin Timberlake," the singer has said. "He's a cool guy."[usmagazine.com]

Anne Hathaway Goes on Extreme Diet to Prep for Les Miserables Role



Anne Hathaway Goes on Extreme Diet to Prep for Les Miserables Role
She is on a depravation diet.

Reportedly ordered to drop 16 lbs. in three weeks for her role as Fantine in the upcoming film adaptation of the musical Les Miserables, the 5-foot-8 actress, 29, is subsisting on a meager 500 calories per day (versus the recommended 2,000), according to the U.K. Daily Mirror.

While Hathaway, who portrays a prostitute stricken with a terminal case of tuberculosis, is losing weight for the role, her publicist explains that the specifics aren't quite accurate. "The numbers are exaggerated in both pounds and calories," her rep argues.

In addition to her strict diet, Hathaway had to endure grueling workout sessions stateside before jetting off to London where she's currently filming the flick.

"Anne was exercising two hours a day, five days a week!" a source close to the star explains.

Les Mis isn't the first role that's forced Hathaway to whittle her middle. For her role as Catwoman in this summer's The Dark Knight Rises, the actress has said she lived on "kale and dust."[usmagazine.com]

The mom of four bares skin -- and her ribcage -- in the photos shot by famed photographer Chen Man. In addition to her cleavage-baring ensemble, she also shows off fiery red hair, dramatic makeup and feathered eyebrows.

Although Beckham is known for being thin, the 37-year-old recently revealed how she maintains her waif stature, despite having given birth to her and husband David Beckham's four children, sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 9, Cruz, 7, and daughter Harper, 8 months.

While dining at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills last month, an onlooker tells Us Weekly about the star's easting habits. "All I saw her eat was arugula -- not even any salad dressing!"[usmagazine.com]

Matt Lauer Signs New Long-Term TODAY Contract

The 54-year-old journalist confirmed that he will remain co-anchor of TODAY Friday, amid speculation that he would be leaving the NBC morning news program after nearly 20 years. "This is my family," Lauer said on-air. "I love this job, and I love working with you guys."

Though details of his new long-term contract were not released, Lauer admitted that he considered leaving TODAY to work on a new TV venture.

"Truth be told, I was developing an idea for a new show where viewers could tune in every morning and see someone they know lose a little more of his hair every single day right in front of their eyes," Lauer said, "but then I thought, I could just stay here and do that."

In December, it was reported that Ryan Seacrest, 37, was being considered to replace Lauer should he leave TODAY. The two joked about the rumors earlier this week when Seacrest announced he would be covering the Summer Olympics for NBC.

"What kind of conversations have you had with NBC officials about joining the TODAY show?" Lauer teased, to which Seacrest responded: "Oh. They didn't tell you?"[usmagazine.com]

Heidi Klum Files for Divorce From Seal



Heidi Klum Files for Divorce From Seal
Heidi Klum is officially ready to move on after splitting from her husband of seven years Seal.

On Friday, the Project Runway hostess, 38, cited "irreconcilable differences" in papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, TMZ reports. Her filing comes nearly three months after the couple announced their separation.

According to Klum's filing -- processed with the help of famed divorce attorney Laura Wasser -- the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place and will retain their separate assets and property.

TMZ reports that Klum is requesting primary physical custody of the couple's four children -- Leni, 7 1/2 Henry, 6 1/2, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2 -- with Seal, 49, getting visitation rights.

"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate," the couple told Us Weekly in a joint statement in January when announcing that they were calling it quits.

"We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart," their statement continued. "This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition."[usmagazine.com]

Kim Kardashian Wears $1,500 Leather Pants on Kanye West Date
To show off her newly slimmed-down figure, Kim Kardashian opted for some super-luxe, super-expensive pants to wear on her lunch date with her brand-new boyfriend Kanye West at Serafina in NYC Wednesday.

She paired the bottoms -- which retail for a whopping $1,495 at jbrandjeans.com -- with a crisp white blouse, a peach blazer and black heels.

Last month, the star, 31, told Us that her single status -- which is a thing the past as of this week -- has made her want to slim down.

Reese Witherspoon Debuts Pregnant Beach Sexy Body!

Reese Witherspoon Debuts Pregnant Beach Sexy Body!
Just call her one-piece Reese!


Less than a month after Us Weekly broke the news that Reese Witherspoon is expecting her first child with husband Jim Toth (joining Ava and Deacon, her kids with ex Ryan Phillippe), the 37-year-old actress showed off her growing baby belly in Costa Rica Wednesday.

Wearing a plunging black swimsuit, the star of This Means War frolicked in the water with Ava, 12, as Toth, 41, and Deacon, 8, steered a paddle boat.

"Deacon was helping Jim pedal the boat, but then stopped and had fun jumping off the side of the boat and into the ocean," an eyewitness tells Us. "He did it a few times and Jim seemed amused as Deacon was having so much fun."

It's a sure sign that CAA agent Toth is ready to embark on a new journey with Witherspoon, whom he wed on March 26, 2011. "Before Jim met Reese, he wasn't sure about having kids," a Witherspoon source recently told Us. "Being around her kids has really shown him what it's all about."

The time is right for a third child, a source close to the pair explained. "Reese's kids are at an age where they are busy with friends and lives of their own. It will be nice for her to be able to do it all over again with her new husband."[usmagazine.com]

Make a Flower in Nail Art

Nail art is a simple way to add personal flair to your nails. Nail art can be used to show flair during the holidays, show your support for your favorite team or cause, or it can be used merely to show your individuality.

Learning how to make your own nail art flowers is not hard and takes only minutes to do. If you would like to become a cosmetic artist, one great way to begin is with online classes in design; you can get free registration information here.

To create nail art flowers:

1. First you’ll want to paint your fingernails in a solid color. This is solely left up to you.

2. Next, pick two colors that are different then the shade of your nails. You’ll want to be sure to pick something a little brighter than your nail shade so the flower will stand out.

3. Now you are going to start on the petals. Pick the color you are going to use for these petals. Start from the center of the nail and make a curvy line that extends over to the outer edge of your nail. Then starting at the top of this line, connect back to the end with another curvy line. The shape should resemble a leaf, or the petal of a flower.

4. Repeat this step until you have the desired number of petals. Five petals seem to be the general rule. Any more, then the nail becomes crowded. Larger nails might require one more petal and smaller nails might need one petal less.

5. Take the second color of nail polish and use it to fill in the middle of the petals. Make a circle and touch all the petals of your flower. If you like you can also use this color to add highlights to your petals. This will accent them and really make the flower “POP” on your nails.

6. Let the flowers dry completely. Once they are dry, apply a clear top coat over the flower nail art. Applying a clear top coat to the flower nail art will allow it to shine and last longer. Top coat can prevent the flower nail art from chipping and fading.

To create another flower nail art look, apply a French manicure to your nails. Allow the polish to dry completely. If you prefer, you can use a clear base coat instead of a French manicure. Using a toothpick, dip into the color you have picked for the center of your flower. Dot it to your nail.

Take another toothpick and dip it into the color you are using for your petals. Dot this color around the center. This will be your petals. To complete the flower and this step is optional, take a clean toothpick, dip it into green nail polish and draw a line down from your flower, and a few leaves. Once the flower is dry cover the nail with a clear top coat. You now have decorative flower nail art.[howtodothings.com]

Tips : How to Do Nail Art

Looking for a beautiful way to spice up your look? Nail art can complement your outfit for a special event or add a unique flair to your appearance every day. While very detailed nail art is best left to professionals, there are a number of techniques that you can do in your own home. With a little practice and a lot of patience, you, too, can create beautiful, unique designs to brighten up your nails

1. Make sure your nails are in good shape. Learn how to keep your nails healthy and have beautiful nails. Your nails should not be bitten. You don't need a manicure to start creating nail art, but you do need to make sure that your nails are clean and shaped well enough that they look even.

2. Choose the right products. There are a multitude of different paints and polishes available for nail art, and your choice of products is completely up to you. Experiment with a few different brands and types of polish or paint to see which you like best, and don’t forget to give acrylic craft paints a try — these work great and are a whole lot cheaper than nail paints or polish.

You’ll also be able to choose from a variety of implements to help you apply your paint. You can buy professional-grade nail art kits that include all the brushes, stripers, and marbling tools you’ll need, or you can improvise.

A toothpick or bobby pin, for example, can help you apply dots and swirl colors with precision, and thin-tipped detail brushes available at your local arts or hobby store can work just as well as special nail art brushes. In addition, remember that you can create art on your natural nails or on artificial tips, and the variety of artificial nails is truly dizzying.

Perhaps most importantly, though, make sure you have pure acetone for quickly removing mistakes, and have a small brush and/or Q-Tips, makeup pads, or cotton balls available solely for applying the acetone.

3. Look for ideas and techniques. This article is a good primer, but if you have trouble coming up with ideas after a while, or if you want to get more in-depth information about techniques, consider these options:
Taking a class at your local nail salon. Just a few hours with a professional teacher can advance your skills like years of practice.

There are also a number of books on nail art. You may be able to find one in your local library or bookstore, but if not, buy them online.

Finally, the web is a great resource, especially if you’re just looking for new ideas. There are several sites on which people post their latest creations, and you can also find a few forums frequented by beginners and pros alike. Also, watch videos on sites such as YouTube that show you step-by-step how to do certain designs.

4. Get your materials ready. While nail art requires a lot of patience, you’re also constantly working against the clock when you’re creating it, since the paints and polishes dry fairly quickly. Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need ready and accessible, especially acetone for quickly removing mistakes.

5. Give your nails a base coat. Before you begin your nail art you need to create your canvas. Depending on the look you’re going for, you can paint your nails a neutral color, such as clear, white, pale beige or pale pink, or you can paint them any other color you desire.

You may also wish to divide the nail into two or three different colors. Do two coats, as it strengthens the nail and gives a better finish. Make sure your “canvas” is neat and even, and allow it to dry thoroughly before proceeding.

6. Create your nail art on top of the base coat. Dip your brush or other tool in one color of paint to make sure the paint adequately and evenly covers it. If your brush has globs, excess paint, or not enough paint, you’re going to have trouble painting. Keep your art simple.

There’s plenty of room for creativity — you can create pictures, abstract designs, etc. to your heart’s content. However, don’t make your nails look too “busy.” Simple designs are often the most beautiful, and if you’re a beginner your chances of success are far greater the simpler your art is.

7. Apply a top coat. Once all your nail art is dry, paint over it with a clear protective acrylic top coat to seal and protect your nail and your hard work.

8. Care for your art. Reapply a clear top coat every two or three days to protect your art and keep your nails looking shiny. Apply cuticle oil daily. Treat your nails with care — wear gloves when gardening or doing other work, and exercise caution when performing tasks such as opening soda cans, as they may damage your nails. [wikihow.com]

Kylie Jenner and Cody Simpson Take a Date Night

Kylie Jenner and Cody Simpson Take a Date Night
Kardashian little sister Kylie Jenner, 15, and 14-year-old singer Cody Simpson fueled rumors that they're dating by catching a screening of "21 Jump Street" at The Grove in L.A. Tuesday. 


You'll remember that the two were photographed together for the first time during an outing to the outdoor shopping mall last November, shortly after meeting at the Hollywood premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1." Perhaps inspired by the notoriously private love lives of the film's stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who've stayed mum on their relationship even though everyone knows they're dating, Kylie and Cody have refused to confirm their status.

In fact, Cody declared earlier this month that he's single and ready to mingle with the right kind of gal. He revealed to HollywoodLife.com that his best advice for the young ladies hoping to catch his eye is to "be yourself. If you want to be anyone in this world, be you," he said.

The Aussie import recently insisted to the Mail Online that he and Kylie are just friends who "laugh about the dating rumors," and called Kylie and her 16-year-old sister Kendall "very close friends of mine."[omg.yahoo.com]

As exclusive photos in the new Us Weekly (out now) reveal, Kourtney, 32, wasn't shy about revealing her pregnant bod in a sexy tie-dyed bikini during the clan's stay at a 35,000-square-foot villa on the Casa de Campo complex (which rents for $6,000 a night).

"She's a little bigger this time," Kim, 30, tells Us of her oldest sibling, who first broke news of her second baby-to-be with Disick 28, with Us Weekly. "But she still looks amazing!"[usmagazine.com]

Why Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Are Closer Than Ever After Samuel's Birth



Why Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Are Closer Than Ever After Samuel's Birth
With two kids and a newborn, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have learned to find a tender moment whenever they can -- even if it means just holding hands during an errand run, as the two did March 30 in Santa Monica.


"You steal time," Garner has said about maintaining her relationship with her husband of nearly seven years. "You steal a date, you steal a kiss, you steal a whisper."

And the arrival of son Samuel, 5 weeks old, "has brought them closer," says a source of the couple, both 39, also parents to Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3. "Ben and Jen couldn't be happier."

Their joy was evident during a recent date night at Santa Monica's Giorgio Baldi restaurant. Says an onlooker, "They really enjoyed the one-on-one time."[usmagazine.com]

According to a music video set source, the singer, 42, and her dancer beau, 24, filmed an "orgy scene" similar to the image being used for the single's album artwork. "There's a hot and steamy, sexy scene in the video where J. Lo, Casper and the dancers are on the floor pawing at each other," the source tells Us Weekly. "They're very scantily clad."

Another scene features Lopez and a shirtless Smart wearing blindfolds with the phrase "Love Is Blind" written across the black silk.

Ironically, Lopez has been fairly tight-lipped about her romance with Smart, who is 18 years her junior. "He's adorable. But you already see that," she recently told Vogue. "He really is [sweet]. He's a good egg. I don't want to talk about it too much. It's my private thing."

Lopez's "Dance Again" music video will premiere during American Idol Thursday on FOX.[usmagazine.com]

Inside Kim Kardashian And Kanye West's "Intimate" NYC Date

Inside Kim Kardashian, Kanye West's "Intimate" NYC Date
New couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had a long date night in the Big Apple Wednesday night.


After catching a showing of mega-blockbuster The Hunger Games, the reality star, 31, and the rapper, 34, continued their evening on the town by taking in Sleep No More -- an interactive, buzzed-about theater experience loosely based on Shakespeare's Hamlet. Favored by celebs like Justin Timberlake and Ashley Olsen, Sleep No More was featured on a 2011 episode of Gossip Girl.

Sans security, the pair stayed "close and intimate as they could," an eyewitness tells Us Weekly of the walk-through production, in which all attendees wear masks for anonymity.

The "Otis" rapper and E! star wandered through the premises without an escort "for hours," the witness says.

Afterwards, West led his new girlfriend to the adjacent Manderley Bar, where they watched a live band, Stella St. Clair, play 40s tunes. "They seemed to be really enjoying each other's company," says the eyewitness.

On Thursday, the pair's NYC adventures continued -- and they were spotted lunching together at Serafina's on the Upper East Side.

In town for a Friday guest-hosting gig on TODAY, Kardashian is "hanging out with Kanye a lot" during her stay, an insider explained. She and West "been friends for years," the source adds.

Single since her painful split from Kris Humphries last October. "Kim is ready to give it a try now" with West, the source confirms.

For his part, West raps on his brand-new song "Theraflu" that he "fell in love with Kim." [usmagazine.com]

Beyonce Reveals Hot Body in Personal, Sexy Bikini Photos!

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z don't live like mere mortals.
Beyonce Reveals Hot Body in Personal, Sexy Bikini Photos!


On Thursday, the 30-year-old new mom shared dozens of personal photos from their worldwide travels via Tumblr. The "Run the World (Girls)" singer also included videos with former Destiny's Child bandmate Michelle Williams, in addition to a video of her pregnant -- and in a bikini! -- while on vacation in Croatia last September. (A third video shows Knowles playing Connect Four on an overseas flight.)

"We woke up this morning, took a nice little walk, passed by this beautiful blue tree," a then-pregnant Beyonce said, pointing at the plant in one clip. "I think it's Blue Ivy, which would be quite appropriate!" (The couple's first child, Blue Ivy, was born a few months later on January 7.)

Other photos include a svelte Beyonce rocking a string bikini while scuba diving, lounging beachside in a hammock and enjoying a mojito. The photos chronicle Beyonce's luxe vacations with her husband, featuring her in breezy caftans, jeweled headpieces and more.

Showing a more personal side -- a rarity for the uberprivate star -- Knowles also included snapshots with Jay-Z, 40, BFF Gwyneth Paltrow, 39, and sister Solange Knowles, 25.

Beyonce also tweeted for the first time Thursday, writing: "Hey world, it's B! I'm so excited to invite you to my new beyonce.com -- we've been working hard and it's finally ready for you."

Though Beyonce is currently taking time off to bond with daughter Blue Ivy, she won't be out of the spotlight for very long: she's scheduled to perform three times over Memorial Day weekend at Revel Beach's Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[usmagazine.com]

Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg Jason Sudeikis to Leave Saturday Night Live?

No joke!
Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg Jason Sudeikis to Leave Saturday Night Live?


Two sources tell the new Us Weekly (on stands Friday) that several key Saturday Night Live players are following in the footsteps of SNL alums Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and ready to move on.

"Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis are all leaving after the end of the season," says one insider. "It will be a huge blow to the show. Without Andy's video shorts and Kristen saving every skit, they'll need help!"

And though a rep for Wiig, 38, and Sudeikis, 36, refutes this -- telling Us, "No decisions are made until the season is over" -- an insider says the timing is right, especially for the Bridesmaids star.

"Kristen was talking about leaving a while ago," says a Wiig pal. "With her movie success, it's no surprise."

Meanwhile, Sudeikis has a new movie in the works, Relanxious, where he will star opposite his real-life love Olivia Wilde. In the flick (which also features SNL pal Fred Armisen) Sudeikis will play an agoraphobic looking for love.[usmagazine.com]

Gwen Stefani Flaunts Amazing Abs in Skimpy Bikini Top


Gwen Stefani showed off her figure in Cabo San Lucas Monday, when the No Doubt frontwoman, 42, donned a teeny black bathing suit and a sarong for a family beach outing.

Stefani flew to Mexico to spend time with her hubby Gavin Rossdale, 46, currently on break from his tour with Bush, and their two sons Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 3.

The L.A.M.B. designer has spoken candidly before about her intense workout regime; in 2011 she opened up to the U.K. edition of Elle about her "daily struggle" to stay in shape.

"I work out five days a week," Stefani told the mag. "I can't imagine not doing it."

Her main motivation? The style icon reluctantly admitted it's her love of clothing. "I'd like to have no rules and eat what I want," Stefani said, "but I've learned over the years I'm so disappointed when I can't wear the clothes I want to wear."[usmagazine.com]

Jay-Z Buys Beyonce Jewelry for Fourth Wedding Anniversary!

Chocolates? Overdone. Flowers? Totally cliche.
Jay-Z Buys Beyonce Jewelry for Fourth Wedding Anniversary!


For his last-minute anniversary shopping trip Wednesday, Jay-Z headed to high-end jewelry store Jacob & Co.

The "Watch The Throne" rapper, 42, was photographed leaving the shop Wednesday afternoon. Before getting into his SUV, Jay embraced the company's high-profile founder, Jacob "the Jeweler" Arabo.

Jay-Z's visit to the ultra-luxe boutique coincides with his and Beyonce's fourth wedding anniversary--and a source confirms to Us Weekly that Jay's purchase from Jacob the Jeweler was indeed an anniversary gift for his wife.

Arabo is as famous for his flashy personality as he is for his gems--the jeweler's custom-made pieces generally cost upwards of $10,000, and his high-profile clientele includes celebrities like Elton John and David Beckham. (Jay-Z's pal Kanye West even gave Arabo a shout-out on Late Registration's "Touch the Sky" and "Diamonds From Sierra Leone.")

Beyonce and Jay-Z are usually reluctant to open up about their ten-plus year relationship, although Beyonce--who gave birth to the couple's daughter Blue Ivy on January 7--let Harper's Bazaar readers get a rare glimpse into what makes them work during her interview with the mag last October.

"We have been together since I was 20 years old," the "Run the World" singer revealed. "We took our time and developed an unbreakable friendship before we got married."

Continued Bey, "I admire [Jay's] ability to inspire others...I respect him so much; he is a great man and a great artist."[usmagazine.com]

Kate Winslet : Leonardo DiCaprio Is ‘Fatter’ Since ‘Titanic’

Kate Winslet: Leonardo DiCaprio Is ‘Fatter’ Since ‘Titanic’
Kate Winslet has done it again. Just days after she revealed that hearing the theme from "Titanic" — Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" — makes her want to "throw up," the actress has made another verbal blunder. In an interview with iTV's "Daybreak" to promote "Titanic 3-D,"


she was asked how she and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio have changed since the original film's 1997 release and she was quite frank in her answer. "We do look very different, we're older," Winslet explained. "Leo's 37, I'm 36 — we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he's fatter now — I'm thinner."

The Oscar-winning actress famously struggled with her weight for years post-Titanic as one of the few healthy-framed stars in skinny-minded Hollywood. The teasing goes as far back as her childhood, Winslet and DiCaprio in Titanic 15 years ago. (Everett Collection)

when she says other kids would call her "blubber." "When I was Winslet and DiCaprio in Titanic 15 years ago. (Everett Collection)heavy, people would say to me — and
it was such a backhanded comment — they would say, 'You've got such a beautiful face,' in the way of, like, 'Oh, isn't it a shame that from the neck down you're questionable,'" Winslet told Glamour in March. Now, she says she maintains her weight with workout DVDs, running, and Pilates.

Seeing herself from the "Titanic" era on the big screen again was not a pleasant experience for Winslet, who played Rose to DiCaprio's Jack. After watching just 17 minutes of the 3-D version, "I was literally like, 'Oh my God, make it stop! Is that me? Oh my God, that's me. Block my ears, somebody!" she also told iTV. "'Somebody club out my senses. Make it f---king stop!'"[omg.yahoo.com]

Lauren Conrad Poses Topless, Talks About Cellulite



Lauren Conrad Poses Topless, Talks About Cellulite
No one has ever seen this side of Lauren Conrad!


The former reality star turned fashion designer poses topless of the May issue of Glamour, revealing her seriously svelte body in white bikini bottoms. Ironically, Conrad, 26, admits she's normally shy about showing off her body.

"On the vacation to Cabo, I wore a bathing suit on the beach for the first time in years. Usually I'm just petrified," she says. "A couple of years ago someone zoomed in on my cellulite and it was so mean. I took it really personally. I haven't worn a bathing suit in L.A. in years because of that."

Though the California native isn't planning a return to reality TV, she does spill some secrets about her time on The Hills and Laguna Beach.

"During shooting, the producers would send us quick text messages telling us what to talk about. They couldn't walk through the shot, so they'd just text me, like, 'Say something quick about this story line.' That's why we were always checking our phones!"

Conrad tells Glamour that she doesn't keep in touch with many of her former costars. "The show is what brought a lot of us together, and when it was gone, we didn't have anything in common anymore."

Despite her fame, the bestselling author promises she's still the same girl she was before MTV made her a star.

"The best way to stay grounded is to surround myself with friends and family who knew me way back when," Conrad says. "There's nothing like cleaning my mom's dishes or taking out the trash to remind me that I'm no different than anyone else."[usmagazine.com]

Kate Middleton Is "Not Pregnant," Insider Says

Kate Middleton Is "Not Pregnant," Insider Says
Prince William and Kate Middleton will soon mark their first wedding anniversary April 29, but they're not planning to celebrate by announcing any baby news.

As pregnancy rumors run rampant, an insider close to the couple confirms to Us Weekly that Middleton, 30, is not expecting a royal bundle of joy.

"Kate is not pregnant or about to make a pregnancy announcement," the insider explained of Middleton, who also sparked pregnancy rumors in November when she refused peanut paste during a visit to Denmark. (Although Kate is not allergic to peanuts, pregnant women are often advised to avoid peanut products to prevent allergies in their babies-to-be.)

Though there isn't any baby news to speak of just yet, the royal couple does have something to celebrate.

On March 21, the Duke of Cambridge, 29, returned to Great Britain after a six-week deployment off the coast of Argentina in the Falkland Islands. It was the longest he and his wife had been apart since their wedding last spring.

Shortly after William reunited with his bride, the duo headed off with her parents, Carole and Michael, and her siblings, Pippa and James, for a ski trip at the Three Valley's resort in France.

Says an eyewitness of the group, who opted to share the same chalet: "They looked very happy together."[usmagazine.com]
