Seems like Kats is on a roll… Like the cover??

 

"C.S.I." star Marg Helgenberger will have a reduced role in the CBS drama's coming 12th season, which has turned out to be good planning: Now that a recent interview she gave has come to light, it's probably best that angry Justin Bieber fans not be able to predict her whereabouts after the actress described him as a "brat" during a guest-starring stint on the show.

Admittedly, when I saw the New York Daily News headline, I thought it had to be a totally fabricated gossip story. But...there is video. Or, rather, there was; the copyright holder has had it pulled from YouTube.
Helgenberger was visiting a French outlet of Europe1, to talk about her show (which is adorably known in France as "Les Experts"). Naturally, the subject of recent recurring guest star/international pop superstar Justin Bieber came up, in the context of a discussion about stuntcasting. And though the question was whether Bieber's performance was any good, Helgenberger saw an opening and took it.
After saying that Bieber was "pretty good," considering that he'd "never acted before," Helgenberger doesn't even wait for a follow-up question before going on to describe Bieber's behavior behind the scenes. "I shouldn't be saying this, but he was kind of a brat," she declares. "He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the craft service table." (He attacked a CAKE?! I am serious: That is the work of a sociopath.) Bieber's already responded to his nine-million-plus followers on Twitter, tweeting, "[I]t's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind." Possibly he typed "kind" when he meant "passive-aggressive."
Bieber had played a slippery young domestic terrorist in a pair of episodes this season; here's an example of his dramatic work.

We love this side of her and we love her reinvention!”

While talking about her TV Projects in Pakistan, Mona said, “Currently, I am waiting for my TV projects to complete. Right now two of my dramas are on air from private TV channels, and they will be my last projects for TV. I am going to India in July again for a longer period and will focus on my film career,”

When asked if she has plans to do Pakistani films she replied, “Lollywood isn’t producing any major films. It has come to a standing halt. I had some offers from India, but I was looking for the right kind of offer. I didn’t want to work in Bollywood just for the sake of appearance.

Perfect Purse for your personality

Some of us underestimate the power of the purse. I do not mean this in the economic or the financial sense. What I meant to say is that most of us women consider the purse as something to hold whatever items we need to carry with us whenever we go out.



But the thing is, beyond being a container for our lipstick, our car keys, wallet, and all those things we could not possibly survive a trip outside our houses without, a purse is a fashion accessory, and a powerful one at that too. A purse underscores your look and highlights the curves of the body. We may not realize it, but whoever looks at us most likely gets his or her eyes drawn first to the purse we are carrying. Therefore, a purse can build your look up or demolish it entirely.

Thankfully, finding the perfect purse that will flatter the body is not as hard as we thought it is. The key to finding the perfect purse is proportion: you should always match your purse with the size and shape of your body. The general rule is that large bags go with large bodies, while small bags go with small bodies.

If you are short and slim in build, you should pick a bag that is small and holds close to the body. Never get a big purse because it will drown you and make you appear lost beside it.

If you are the type that is tall and thin, a medium-sized bag will work best for you. In choosing a shoulder bag, though, pick something that fits nice and close under your arm and against your waist. Bags like that will create the illusion of curves on your lean body and will draw the eyes to your face.

Ladies with big hips will want to draw the eyes to the face and away from their lower bodies as well. The kind of bags that will do that trick for them are shoulder bags that hang just above the hips.

On the other hand, ladies with top-heavy figures will want to draw attention to their legs instead of to their upper bodies. Messenger bags, bags that have long straps or perhaps a handbag will do that for them. The size of the bag that will work best for top-heavy ladies is the slightly large one.

Plus size girls should stay away from bags that are too small; bags that are too small will only make them look bigger. They should avoid shoulder bags, but instead go for bags that are just a tad wider.

If you have that perfect hourglass figure, then any kind of bag is perfect for you. Any bag you choose would be flattering to your body. However, remember that the rules on proportion still apply even to ladies with the perfect curves. Do not get a bag that is too large or too small for your body.

Always remember that proportion is the rule for finding the perfect purse. Keep this in mind and the perfect purse will never be hard to find.

• Drinking lots of Water

Water is of prime importance to maintain a good health and overall cleansing of the body. In fact, it is the world’s best cleanser in every type of weather condition and circumstances. Many beauticians recommend 7-8 glasses of water a day while, others may recommend just 4-5 glasses. Normally, at least 4-5 glasses of water a day is fine for most of the women and teenage girls as it helps in good hydration of the body for 24-hours and does not let the women gain weight by just drinking water. For those women and girls who have a very active lifestyle e.g. playing a particular sport etc they are recommended to drink at least 7-8 glasses of water in a day.

• Maintain a healthy diet

A balanced diet is very important for maintaining the natural glow and smoothness of a skin. All around the globe; each doctor, dietician and beautician advise the women to maintain a good diet in order to prevent the skin from getting blemishes, pimples, cracks and wrinkles. Moreover, a good diet helps in keeping the skin perfect for a long term in life. Oily and greasy foods, alcohol, too much intake of sugar must be avoided as it is very bad for the skin. Fresh fruits, vegetables and juices should be a preference for maintaining a good skin and complexion. A good intake of vitamins and minerals is also very important in order to obtain a good skin.

• Maintain a good sleep cycle

A well-disciplined routine and fulfilling at least 7-8 hours of sleep is very important for getting a good skin. It helps in easing the muscles of the skin by releasing the tension from them. Moreover, it helps in reducing the dark circles and eye bags around the eyes. As beauticians put it; “a beauty sleep is a must have for all the girls to look pretty and perfect naturally”.

• Do exercise regularly

Exercises are very beneficial for skin as they help the body to release the toxin and other wastes from the body effectively. Sweating helps the skin to regulate itself by excreting the wastes and taking inside fresh oxygen. This helps in the nourishment of tiny pores on our skin and helps in the removal of dirt also. Side by side, exercise helps the body also gets perfectly toned and trimmed which makes a woman look even more beautiful.

• Protection from the harmful rays of the sun

It is a very important tip amongst all the other beauty tips as most of the girls and women overlook it and do not consider it much important. But sun surely does a lot of harm to the skin and a good protection from the harmful UV rays is very important. Therefore, always use a good sun block lotion or a cream whenever an exposure to sun is expected. This helps in preventing the skin form blemishes, wrinkles, pimples and even skin cancer.

• Try to reduce stress

Stress is causing lot of trouble for many women. It directly affects the skin particularly in the facial area of the body. Therefore, try to reduce the stress by engaging yourself in some pleasurable activity like getting indulged in your favorite hobby, playing some sport, reading a book or even meditating so that the stress levels can be minimized and a perfect skin can be maintained.

These are just a few basic beauty tips for maintaining good skin. They certainly cost a lot less than what the beauticians, doctors and dieticians advise for skin by charging handsome amounts of money and certainly they are way more effective in getting a good and healthy skin for longer term. Therefore, try to follow them regularly if you want to look pretty, perfect and a sweet teenage girl throughout your life.

Flaunt your Feet in Sexy High Heels!

 

High heels. Enough said. The word says it all. A girl can never have enough of these beauties to enliven her life; it’s the high heel shoes rather than the diamonds that are indeed a girl’s best friend, or so I like to believe.

Self confidence comes with the perfect pair of stilettos. Stilettos are high heel shoes on women that are thinner than spiker heels. They are the standard against which all high heel fashion trends are measured. A woman’s wardrobe is incomplete without having the perfect pair of stilettos to flaunt her feet in. The best thing about high heel shoes is that they make your feet look sexier and miraculous.

Another type of high heels is platform shoes. They are shoes, boots or sandals with thick soles at least four inches in height. Platform shoes are also available in wooden heel and are known as clogs. Many celebrities around the world are seen to be adorning platform high heels and they have become the new trend in high heel fashion. Remember the sexy whit-beaded high heels Lady Gaga is wearing in her bad romance? Platform heels.

For all the tall ladies out there who want to look just as sexy wearing heels as other women but don’t want to look out of place by adding too much height through high heeled shoes, kitten heels are just the thing you are looking for. It’s a short, slender heel which gives the curve and the sex appeal of a high heeled shoe, minus the added height.

The best that high heel fashion has to offer though is the court shoes with stiletto heels. Believe me, this is one accessory you don’t want to miss out on. Also, while talking about high heel fashion, one cannot miss out on the fabulous boots. Boots are available in any heel that you want. You name it. It’s available. 

Last but not least, wedges are another type of heel that is not to be missed out on. Very summery and comfortable in wear, wedge heels are the comfiest heels that you’ll ever find.

To all the women out there: you know why we love high heels so much? Because they always fit, even after that double cheese burger. So go out there and get the sexiest piece of high heeled shoes that you can set your eyes on and flaunt your body and your legs in it because believe me you, the little voice inside your head that keeps telling you to buy heels, that’s the one to listen to. Still not convinced?

Remember that Cinderella’s living proof that heels can change your life.

Interviews Angelina Jolie

There is so much interest in you and your family. How does this affect you?
Angelina Jolie: 'I've made a point to not let it change the way I live my life, other than I carefully plan my holidays or where we go. I think the only time it is hard is when the kids want to go somewhere. I've had so many people offer to take my children to Disneyland or places that I can't take them, and they don't understand how upsetting that is because I can't do that.'
What is Brad like as a father?
Angelina Jolie: 'Brad is a brilliant father. We both love being parents and we love out kids. They are just the joy of our lives. We are constantly in awe and amazed by them.'
How do you manage to juggle being a mother with everything else you do?

 
Angelina Jolie: 'I plan a lot, obsessively. I'm very, very lucky. I love the different elements in my life. I love working abroad, and I love being with my kids and I love being with Brad. This is the life I chose to have and I'd like to add many more children and many more obstacles and many more things in the future.'
How did you feel about being made to look really old in The Good Shepherd?
Angelina Jolie: 'I love to see my face old in different ways. There's something very comforting about seeing yourself as an older woman.'
Do you worry about getting old?
Angelina Jolie: 'Hopefully I will not break apart as Clover does in the movie, because she had these big yellow contacts and yellow teeth. My mom is ageing gracefully, so if I'm anything like my mother I should be okay.'
How hard was it to play a rejected, unloved wife?
Angelina Jolie: '(Laughs) Well, I do have two divorces behind me but I'm still good friends with them, so it's still okay. It's easier to play that kind of stuff when you have a balanced home. If I did have alcoholism in my personal life or that experience, it might have been much more uncomfortable to get 'in there'. I've never had that kind of relationship with a man because I've always married artists; they're a very talkative and expressive bunch.
What attracted you to this role?
Angelina Jolie: 'There were many things about her that were broken, and often I don't get to play that part. I think that's why it took a while for Bob (Robert De Niro) to decide that I should play that part. She is more subservient, she is more vulnerable and she is very broken. But as a woman, as much as there are certain things in my life I do feel strong about, there are pieces of me that are broken too.'
Do you think that self-deception is a necessary evil in a relationship?
Angelina Jolie: 'No, I think quite the opposite is the only thing that works. I don't want to spend my life having to pretend to be somebody else. I don't want the person next to me to have to pretend because we have a long life ahead of us. So you want to just be able to be who you are in every moment, and that's the only way you'll ever be truly happy.'
Has your humanitarian work influenced the roles you want to play?
Angelina Jolie: 'I think it's important to just have fun and not take everything so seriously. I'm not a politician. I am just an actor, and just supposed to entertain and tell stories - I remember that. But certainly when a film project comes along like this one, they're the ones that take priority.'

Serena Williams, it is not your Wedding Day

The whole world seems to overcome the Royal Wedding fever but Serena Williams is still under its influence. Yes her Oscar de la Renta white wedding gown says it all!

Serena Williams donned a white gown with a lace bodice and feathered skirt at the Met Gala night. The dress looked just amazing, but alas Serena ruined the charm out it by wearing it on such an occasion.

 

Secondly the strapless gown didn’t go well with her figure. To top off her wedding inspired look, Serena paired it with a chunky hat. Well, here again Serena made a boo boo! The hat sapped out the elegance out of dress and made her look over glamorous on a night like this!

Make Up Your Eyes for Evening

When evening calls for a glamorous look, you want to focus on making your eyes amazing. Here are eight simple steps to making up your eyes for evening.
   1. Prep your eyes with concealer. Concealer can be used to cover up under eye circles or just the bluish discoloration just under your inner eye. To cover dark under eye circles, apply three dots of concealer under each eye. Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge.
   2. Apply eye base to your lid Eye base is the secret to keeping your shadow in place for hours. Without properly priming your lid first, your eye shadow will likely end up a greasy line in your crease.
   3. Apply shadow. It's great to use a three-toned shadow and build from lids to brow. Allowing them to merge into each other like a rainbow is graceful. Start with a light
color that almost matches your lid. brush the color across the lid and up to your browbone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker color in the crease. Blend the colors well.
   4. Follow with eyeliner Dark eyeshadows work great as eyeliners. Wet a slanted brush, and then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner. Follow with liner on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don't want a prominent line. For a smokey eye, use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid. You don't want a stark line, instead you want to blend it so it's 'smudge-y.'
   5. Brighten your eyes with a highlighter. This step involves only the inside part of the eye. With a gold or pink highlighter (white is too bright), draw a v-shaped shape that follows the inner corner of your eye from top to bottom. Blend with your fingers. This will help make eyes 'pop.'
   6. Highlight your brow Take the same highlighter and dab it on your browbone, concentrating on your mid-brow outward. Blend with your finger.
   7. Curl lashes An eyelash curler will make even long lashes look more gorgeous. For added effect, you can heat the curler under a blowdryer for a couple seconds. Test curler before applying to lashes because you could burn yourself.
   8. Apply mascara Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of the wand. Apply to bottom lashes as well.

A Simple Beauty Tip for a Bride-to-be before Wedding

After waiting and dreaming all these years about getting married, finally the day is here when it is actually time for your own wedding. For a bride, a million beauty tips are given and lots of extra care is advised but we have just one beauty tip for you which indeed surpasses the need of any other beauty tip.
Our simple beauty tip is just to “be yourself”. Yes! At the moment you might think that this is such a crazy advice and how can it possibly be a beauty tip. But the truth is that it is something which is the key to being beautiful.
In Pakistan, where we have strong associations with our rich traditions and culture, a wedding is very specifically designed around the particular traditions and customs. May it be an arrange marriage or a love marriage, the style of wedding holds same for both. For the bride to be, wedding day is all about being at the best of her beauty and making her husband feel that he is blessed to have her. But in this entire wedding hustle bustle, a girl actually forgets that she needs to give time to herself and realize that there is no need of her

to be someone else or go overboard. Her actual beauty tip is in the essence of her being pure, original and comfortable. This beauty tip will not only make her life easier but it will certainly make her husband love her more. Men appreciate simplicity and finding a woman who is not trying to fake anything is certainly a big treat for men.
When you go for a booking with a makeup artist who is going to give you your ultimate wedding look, tell him/her to keep things realistic and enhance your natural beauty more. Most of the times, by adding artificial eye lashes and nails, many brides look weird on their wedding day. Therefore, make sure that you don’t spill out your secret beauty tip of being original to your makeup artist well before the actual wedding day.
Furthermore, there is no need of getting entangled into long beauty treatments and procedures before your wedding. Follow the basic beauty tip religiously and that is to have lots of water and keep your skin clean all the time. Cleansing is very good and effective for all the girls. Water is the top treatment for getting a glowing complexion and a smooth skin.
Lastly, put this point in you beauty tip list too and that is to relax as much as you can. I know wedding is a very hectic yet joyous event of your life but still things will be better if you don’t panic. Just be patient if your designer has still not delivered the clothes or you have some last minute preparations to deal with. All will fall into place once the wedding day has arrived.
