Power Yoga
"Power Yoga" is effective in helping women improve joints and flexibility, build muscle, and lose weight.
Given its name by Beryl Bender Birch, an Ashtanga Yoga teacher and author of the book by the same name, “Power Yoga” is effective in helping women improve joints and flexibility, build muscle, and lose weight.
If you’re ready to break a sweat with sun salutations and balance postures, find out what to expect before you walk into a power yoga class.
Where does power yoga take place?
Usually, power yoga is conducted in a heated room because your muscles need to remain warm so that no injury will occur during the shortened vigorous moves you’ll be doing.
Sometimes, the room is not just heated, it’s hot. And by hot, I mean you will break a sweat the moment you walk in. It’s used to promote sweating and flush toxins from your body while you pose.
For classes available in your area, head to your local gym and check out the aerobic class schedule. Chances are there’ll be one there. If not, type in “power yoga classes” and your city into Google, and you’re bound to find something near you.
How’s power yoga different from other yoga?
Power yoga takes basic yoga poses from Ashtanga, Bikram and Iyengar, and applies them in a shortened form with emphasis on training the brain to attain focus and clarity while executing the poses.
Sometimes poses are done in quick succession and other times poses are held for 5 breaths or so (you’ll feel the burn in your muscles), thus allowing you to concentrate on the pose and your breathing.
Why is it called “power” yoga?
This type of yoga seemed to take on the name power yoga on its own because of what it does to the individuals who undertake it. These classes allow you to get in touch with your inner core (literally and figuratively) and help you find the power in your mind and your body to achieve things and balance yourself in ways you may never have thought possible.
Every time you go to one of these classes, you will leave feeling that much more in tune with your mental, physical and even spiritual self. Unlike other yoga classes, the focus in power yoga is on coordinating everything simultaneously. You learn to breathe, move, pose, and increase your flexibility in one fell swoop rather than one step at a time.
It’s challenging and calls on you to discipline your body and mind into achieving the results desired.
Who is power yoga for?
If you’ve been to a yoga class before, in which you were taught to breathe and do sun salutations, that’s great. Keep in mind, however, that this is not an easy course. You will sweat profusely at times and require a great deal of focus, energy and strength.
A familiarity is helpful for the course, but not pertinent. And of course, you are allowed to move at your own pace, taking a break if necessary. But don’t confuse this class with something strictly meditative.
If you have chronic ailments, however, power yoga is not for you. The workout is rigorous and not easy by any means.
On the flipside, if you want to improve your performance in a particular sport like cycling, boxing, golf, and swimming, power yoga can help you achieve your goal.
What do I need to bring to a power yoga class?
It’s important that you wear clothing that is comfortable, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. You need to wear body hugging clothes in order to avoid having your breasts pop out of your shirt. Wear something you feel comfortable sweating in.
Also, you do not need socks or shoes, you are required to be barefoot (socks keep you from planting your feet firmly into the ground), so be ready with that pedicure. If you are a germ freak, however, invest in a pair of yoga shoes instead.
Bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat as well.
Get your power yoga on
So if you think you’re ready to head to a power yoga class and focus your body, mind and spirit on the task at hand, now you have the information necessary to walk into one with confidence.

Jeremy Bloom
Birth Name: Jeremy Ryan Bloom
Birth Date: April 2, 1982
Birth Place: Fort Collins, Colorado
Height: 5’9”
Romantic Link: Cameran Eubanks
Jeremy Bloom Interesting Facts
Jeremy Bloom went to court because the NCAA didn’t allow its players to accept endorsement deals. He lost.
In 2005, gay men voted Jeremy Bloom “King of the Hardwood” (the hottest man in sports).
Jeremy Bloom Biography
Born on April 2, 1982, in Fort Collins, Colorado, Jeremy Ryan Bloom was an avid skier even as a child, along with his older brother Jordan and his older sister Molly.
His father, Larry, is a psychology professor, and his mother Char is a fly-fishing and ski instructor at Keystone Resort, which leaves no mystery as to where Jeremy inherited his ski gene, especially considering he put on a pair of skis at age 3.
Growing up, Bloom attended Loveland High School, where he became the star football player on the team and a track state champion, no less.
Jeremy Bloom becomes pro skier
In 1997, when he was only 15 years of age, Bloom joined the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team and, four years later, Jeremy Bloom had already become the number one ranked men’s freestyle skier in the world.
Bloom attended the University of Colorado in 2002, where he became a very successful wide receiver and punt returner for the NCAA’s Buffs and was offered a 5-year contract to play for the team.
When he competed at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games at Salt Lake City, he placed only ninth overall, but he did come in first at the 2002 U.S. Nationals. It was during this time that the Olympics aired a special on MTV.
Jeremy Bloom gets cut from the U of Colorado team
Because of his athleticism and sheer attractiveness, Bloom was offered a job as a model for Tommy Hilfiger jeans. He quickly snatched up the offer but, unfortunately for him, Bloom was not eligible to keep his positions as wide receiver and punt returner for the University of Colorado’s football team because he began doing endorsements as an Olympian.
A long, bitter legal battle ensued and Bloom lost his case in 2004, as the NCAA regulations were made clear to Bloom before he accepted any endorsement deals, despite the fact that his deals were earned in non-NCAA sports.
After heading home from the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy, without a medal to show, Bloom was nevertheless excited to return home for the pending NFL draft. Lucky for him, Bloom was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles on July 11, 2006, even though he hasn’t played football since 2003.
Jeremy dating Cameron Eubanks
Bloom signed a four-year, $1.782 million dollar contract that includes a $172,000 signing bonus and minimum base salary for each year played.
Bloom, who is currently dating Real World: San Diego’s Cameran Eubanks, plans to become the next big thing in football, next to the Super Bowl, of course.

How To Overcome Regret
For many women, regret is a big part of their lives. Whether it’s having married the wrong guy, not finishing college or dumping the greatest boyfriend you’ve ever had, there’s a pretty good chance that there’s something on your list that you shoulda, coulda or woulda done differently.
It’s common to have some regrets; after all, life isn’t a rehearsal; this is it - this is your life. But you don’t have to live in the past and continue on this path of regret and remorse.
Here’s what you can do going forward instead to overcome regret and begin living a happy life again.
Overcome regret tip #1
Don’t dwell on mistakes
Playing your mistakes over and over again will get you nowhere fast, and may even contribute to illness. Why would you want to put yourself in a position where all you do is live your past errors over and over again?
It’s time to overcome regret. If you stupidly slept with your best friend’s boyfriend, yeah, you made a huge mistake and maybe she’ll never forgive you, but what are you gaining by playing the moment over and over again in your mind?
Take what happened and chalk it up to a childish decision made in haste. You won’t be helping anyone or gaining forgiveness by being miserable about it. Keep telling yourself that and perhaps you’ll start to believe it and let it go.
Overcome regret tip #2
Stop doing things you’ll regret
Of course, the no-brainer tip is that you maybe want to stop badmouthing people all the time if you feel so terribly about it afterwards.
“Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” George Santayana knew what he was talking about and it’s about time you started getting with the program, too.
You’re old enough to understand the consequences of your actions and if you can’t stop yourself from doing things that lead to feelings of regret, then you’re going to end up spending many years giving up all your earnings to a therapist. And there’s no way you’ll ever overcome regret.
Figure out the traits and actions about yourself that you don’t like and start making an effort to change them for the better. It’s either that, or have fun paying to complain to someone once a week.
Overcome regret tip #3
Make amends
If you called your brother’s wife a whore in a fit of anger at the last family gathering and have been kicking yourself ever since because you shouldn’t have said it (even if it’s true), you have to make an effort to fix what you broke.
Of course, saying “sorry you’re such a whore” won’t cut it. You need to call her up and ask her to meet with you one-on-one to discuss what happened and why. But above and beyond all else, you have to apologize.
But it doesn’t end there (I know it sucks, but if you want to sleep at night…); in order to overcome regret, you have to apologize to her in front of everyone who witnessed your little fit. And to keep things in good taste, you should apologize to everyone as well for having lost control of your emotions.
If your regrets are something you can fix, then fix them. Don’t spend your life feeling bad about something that you can change with today’s actions.
Overcome regret tip #4
Embrace past as a learning experience
Rather than lose sleep and spend your days and nights moping around about the fact that you quit your job without having a backup plan, take it as a learning experience and do your best going forward.
Spend your time looking for a great job
Overcome regret tip #5
Face that life is too short
If all else fails, talk to an older person that you admire like your mom or dad, and they’ll tell you what it usually takes us too long to figure out – life is too short to spend it focusing on all the stupid little things we didn’t do or shouldn’t have done.
At the end of the day, you’re healthy, smart and beautiful, and all you need to do is realize that life doesn’t allow us to go backwards, so we might as well embrace all the decisions we’ve made thus far and move forward.
Overcome regret once and for all
I don’t want to sound like a Hallmark moment, but you need to learn to love yourself and come to terms with all the decisions you’ve made in your life, whether they ended up hurting someone else or you, it’s too late to keep wondering “what if.”
Accept where you are today and try to appreciate how you got there, even if it may not be exactly where you expected to be. Love life and live it to the fullest.

How To Fake A Tan
I think it’s safe too say that all of us look better when we have a golden glow. We are also well aware of the serious damage the sun can have on our skin. And the last thing we want is to sacrifice our health in the name of temporary beauty.
Luckily, nowadays, we have alternatives that allow us to have the best of both worlds: We can fake a tan and maintain peak physical health. Of course, you might occasionally spot the orange girl wandering around the streets, but for the most part, you can fake a tan and look like you just came off the beaches of Brazil.
Here, now, are some the best ways to fake a tan, and some products to go with.
Fake a tan tip #1
Use a face self-tanner
When it’s still too cool to walk around with a halter top and short shorts, you can opt to give your face that healthy glow without having to tan your entire body.
The best way to fake a tan subtly without streaks and lines involves a 4-step process.
First, cleanse and exfoliate your skin. Invest in a good cleanser that contains micro-beads to ensure that you eliminate all the dead skin cells. Pat your face dry and skip the moisturizer.
Second, if your hair is long, place it in a bun so that it doesn’t get stuck to your face during application. Because you don’t want to create a drastic change in your face, blend some face self-tanner with your regular moisturizer on the top of your hand and apply the combination to your face, neck and ears. Allow it to dry thoroughly and do your best to avoid sweating until it does. Do not forget to wash your hands thoroughly after you’ve finished applying the concoction.
Third, once you’re certain that your face and its surrounding areas are dry, apply a light bronzer to your nose, the apples of your cheeks and your forehead.
Finally, do not forget to apply a sunscreen (if your moisturizer already contains one, you can skip this step). A self-tanner doesn’t mean you’re safe from the sun’s damaging rays.
Recommended brands:
Laura Mercier Bronzer
Lancome Flash Bronzer Instant Bronze Glow for the Face
Clarins Tinted Self-Tanning Face Cream
Fake a tan tip #2
Use a body self-tanner
Much like self-tanning your face, tanning your body involves a process that requires dedication and vigilant application; otherwise, you might be in for some streaking issues. Luckily, most of the self-tanner applications are very forgiving and allow for mild errors.
But if you want a virtually flawless tan, here’s your 4-step process.
First, take a shower and use a loofah or its equivalent to exfoliate your skin, paying special attention to your elbows, ankles and knees; this is where women tend to mess up their “fake a tan” look.
Second, dry yourself off thoroughly and put on some surgical rubber gloves to avoid ending up with orange palms.
Begin by applying the tanner to your leg first. Place a sparing amount of tanner into your hand, rub your hands together to get some on both and use sweeping motions to apply the tanner from the front of your thigh to the back.
Do the same with your calf and shin, starting at the top and working your way down. Use only the excess to cover your knee, ankle and toes. Move on to the next leg and do the same.
Work your way up and apply tanner to your hips, stomach and upper body. The do your shoulders and arms; again, use only the excess to cover your elbows.
Third, allow your body to dry for at least 10 minutes before getting dressed.
Finally, again, if you’re about to head out with exposed body parts, apply an SPF beforehand. Otherwise, the whole point of the “fake a tan” will fall by the wayside.
Recommended brands:
Neutrogena Instant Bronze Sunless Tanner
Bain de Soleil Streakguarde Self Tanning Creme
Coppertone Endless Summer Sunless Tanning Lotion
Fake a tan tip #3
Head to a salon
If you want to fake a tan all around, your best bet by far is to head to a salon and step into a spray booth for a minute or two.
Most celebrities, from Carmen Electra to Jessica Simpson are avid users of the Hollywood Tan and Mystic Tan booths. You can get an all over body glow and even choose how dark you want to go.
There are also tanning salons that have an esthetician on hand to spray your body down.
And you can opt to exfoliate beforehand or do so at the salon. Either way, for a full body tan that covers you from back to front, a salon tan is the way to go.
Fake a tan all year long
From summer into winter, it’s time you began taking care of your skin and avoiding the sun at all costs. And with all the advancements made with self tanner nowadays, there’s no reason why you can’t fake a tan and fake the perfect glow.

Top 10 Ways To Break Plateaus
Do you ever feel as though you’re working so hard to keep up your fitness only to discover that the scale is just not budging and that you’re at a standstill? If so, there’s a good chance that you’ve hit that wall otherwise known as a plateau.
The reason we end up hitting a plateau is due to the consistency of our fitness plans; the human body quickly adapts to whatever you throw at it so you need to keep switching things up if you want to keep seeing improvements.
To break plateaus, here are the top 10 things you can do.
Break plateaus #10
Rest
Sometimes the best way to get your body back on its fat burning mission is by taking a break. Now I know that being idle sucks when you’re so accustomed to being active, but it will definitely help you in the long run.
Giving your body a rest will kick start your workouts when you head back to the gym, so take a week off and start fresh again.
Break plateaus #9
Change calorie intake
If your diet consists of 1900 calories a day, split up the calories over two days and eat 1600 one day and 2200 the next. This will throw your body’s energy burners out of whack and they’ll get kicked into overdrive.
Because your body gives you a 48-hour window for total calorie consumption, eating less one day and more the next is a smart way to ensure that your body keeps burning fat and not muscle.
Break plateaus #8
Don’t drink
If you’ve been enjoying a glass or two of wine at every meal, cut it out. Of course, I’m not suggesting that you cut alcohol out of your life forever, but it’s possible that drinking is what’s hindering your progress.
For the next couple of weeks, eliminate all alcohol from your diet and see if your efforts take on the progression that you expect. Then, when you’re back on track, enjoy a glass of wine once or twice a week, but try not to make it a daily habit.
Break plateaus #7
Move more
I know I suggested that you take a rest from the gym, but that doesn’t mean that you need to become a complete sloth, either. Get up and get moving if you want to break plateaus.
Take longer walks, go for a jog at lunch or take an evening bike ride. You are not restricted to working out at the gym, so head outside and be active.
Break plateaus #6
Change your workout
If you do the same workout at the gym, week in and week out, your body will adjust and you will no longer make any gains or losses because of it. You need to switch things up.
Whether you start doing your workouts backwards (start with your last exercise first) or develop a new workout regime altogether, changing your workout will definitely kick start your body into burning away at the fat and increasing muscle.
Break plateaus #5
Keep a diary
As vigilant as we try to be, sometimes we are unaware of what is really going on in our diets. This is where a food diary comes in handy.
Keep a log of everything you eat; you might discover that you’re ingesting too much junk food or not enough calories in the day to make it through. That way, you can adjust your diet to ensure optimal results.
Break plateaus #4
Lift heavier
Put down those blue-colored 2-pound weights and pick up weights that are heavy enough to exhaust your muscles. This is only way you’ll begin to see a difference in your muscle tone.
Heavier weights put more demand on your muscles, causing them to tear and repair themselves, which requires more calories, which leads to a leaner looking body. This definitely helps break plateaus.
Break plateaus #3
Eat more protein
Protein is essential for the human body and you should up your intake of lean protein in order to keep seeing improvements in your body.
Good sources of lean protein include nuts, lean meats, fish, chicken, and dairy. Try to incorporate protein into every meal and you will definitely see results.
Break plateaus #2
Eat smaller meals
By eating smaller meals throughout the day, you will keep your metabolism working at optimum levels and ensure consistent calorie burning throughout the day.
Break up your meals into 300 to 400 calorie increments, and eat about 5 or 6 times a day. This way, your body will get used to receiving food all the time and will keep the furnace on at all times.
Break plateaus #1
Drink more water
By far the best way to ensure health and break plateaus, ingesting water consistently throughout the day will keep you full and hydrated at all times.
Water, as well as air, is absolutely essential for life so make sure you drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water every single day, and drink more if you’re active.
Break plateaus today
It’s not easy to break plateaus if you’re used to doing things a certain way and end up in a comfort zone. But if you’re willing to make some small changes to your daily habits, you will discover that you can stay on track with your plans.

Top 10 Worst Wedding Songs
We’ve all attended weddings at some points in our lives and while we’re sitting there, waiting for dinner to be served, the happy couple performs their first dance as a married couple. Awww.
Unfortunately, most of these couples end up choosing some of the worst wedding songs to demonstrate their love for one another and everyone in the room spends the next couple of weeks making fun of them.
Don’t let it happen to you - avoid the 10 worst wedding songs at all costs.
Worst wedding songs #10
The Reason
Hoobastank
Not only is this song wildly inappropriate, this song was also wildly overplayed by radio stations worldwide for the entire duration of 2005. So unless you want your first dance to leave everyone with the desire to change the station, I strongly recommend you consider another song.
Awful lyric: I'm sorry that I hurt you, it's something I must live with every day, and all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away.
Worst wedding songs #9
My Boo
Usher & Alicia Keys
This is a good song, no doubt, but if you opt to have this playing, then you’re essentially telling the world that you married the wrong guy. This song is about a couple that isn’t together but will always love each other. I don’t know about y’all, but I know about that.
Awful lyric: It started when we were younger and you were mine, now another brother’s taken over but it’s still in your eyes.
Worst wedding songs #8
You’re Beautiful
James Blunt
I admit the song was great when it first began to get airplay, but after hearing it for the 1700th time, it somehow doesn’t sound so good anymore. Of course, once again, this song is so wrong for a wedding. You could be as beautiful as they come, but the world no longer cares for this song.
Awful lyric: You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, and I don't know what to do, ‘cause I'll never be with you.
Worst wedding songs #7
Ti Amo
Laura Branigan
I’ve been to many a wedding and it never fails; “Ti Amo” is consistently played and treated like a wedding anthem. Why is that? Even though the title of the song means “I love you,” the entire song is about a man who left her. Her heart is broken, and even her voice sounds like it.
Awful lyric: How could you end it this way, after the love that we made, God how I wish you had stayed, can't you see that I just want you back?
Worst wedding songs #6
If You’re Not The One
Daniel Bedingfield
I’m not sure how you feel about men who admit they cry over you, but I’m not a big fan of such guys. And songs about guys who are like that don’t bode well in my book, either. The lyrics in the song are incredibly cheesy and the song is way to somber for a wedding.
Awful lyric: I never know what the future brings, but I know you are here with me now, we'll make it through, and I hope you are the one I share my life with.
Worst wedding songs #5
This I Promise You
‘N Sync
To begin, I can’t imagine your man accepting this song at all. If that weren’t enough, this is as cheesy as wedding songs come, and the last thing you want is to have a defunct boy band representing the beginning of your days together.
Awful lyric: When the visions around you, bring tears to your eyes, and all that surround you, are secrets and lies.
Worst wedding songs #4
When I Fall In Love
Nat King Cole
Mark another point down for inappropriate. This song, although a classic, is inappropriate because it’s not about having fallen in love, but rather about falling in love in the future. And considering you guys just completed your nuptials, chances are you are already in love.
Awful lyric: And the moment I can feel that, you feel that way, too, is when I fall in love with you.
Worst wedding songs #3
Any Celine Dion song
Celine Dion
Whether it’s a remake or an original, Celine Dion has a way of putting the crust in “crustified.” The sound of her voice, the way she sings, and her incredibly bizarre way of beating herself up by pounding on her heart in music videos leaves everyone with unwanted visuals and sounds. Avoid her at all costs.
Awful lyric: Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to, in my life we’ll always go on. (from “My Heart Will Go On”)
Worst wedding songs #2
Truly Madly Deeply
Savage Garden
I mean, come on, seriously. The voice of the singer is incredibly effeminate, and the lyrics are probably owned by the Kraft Company as we speak. This song drips cheese and the last thing you want is to have everyone groan when your first dance is about to begin.
Awful lyric: I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea, I want to lay like this forever, until the sky falls down on me.
Worst wedding songs #1
I Swear
All 4 One
No one wants to sit around listening to a song about a couple of guys who are swearing their undying love via song. And yes, it is your day and perhaps that shouldn’t bother you, but you have to admit that this song is overplayed and no longer holds any value to its listeners.
Awful lyric: And I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky, I'll be there, I swear like the shadow that's by your side, I'll be there.
Worst wedding songs selected
If you can manage to steer clear of the worst wedding songs, and go through your entire wedding without starting a conga line, you will be one of the first women ever to pull it off.
Good luck.

Chloe Sevigny Interesting Facts
In February 2004, Chloe Sevigny signed on to become a spokesperson for the MAC Viva Glam campaign.
In her film The Brown Bunny, Chloe performs fellatio on her real-life boyfriend and claims that the scene is very real.
Chloe Sevigny Biography
Chloe Sevigny was born on November 18, 1974 in Darien, Connecticut, to parents David and Janine, and with her older brother Paul.
Growing up, Chloe went to high school at an affluent section of Connecticut and soon began dividing her time between school and hanging out in Greenwich Village in New York.
Chloe Sevigny at Sassy mag
In 1993, Chloe got noticed by Sassy magazine and was hired as an intern, just a few short months later, when Chloe turned 18, she moved to Brooklyn permanently.
Her unusual looks led to Chloe’s landing some prominent modeling gigs, including a campaign for design house Miu Miu. Besides modeling, Chloe was also being shown off in music videos by Lemonheads and Sonic Youth.
By the mid-‘90s, the hipsters of New York were very familiar with the new “It” girl, dubbed so by The New Yorker’s writer Jay McInerney in 1994.
Chloe Sevigny in Kids
But Chloe wanted more than modeling and starring in music videos. By 1995, she made her acting debut in the controversial but effective film, Kids, written by her then boyfriend Harmony Korine. In the film, Chloe portrayed a teenager who discovers she’s HIV-positive after having had only one sex partner.
Her next role was that of Debbie opposite Steve Buscemi, who also directed 1996’s Trees Lounge. Although the movie didn’t break much ground outside of art houses, Chloe was making waves.
In 1997, Chloe was back by her boyfriend Harmony Korine’s side, starring in his directorial debut film Gummo, a film about teenagers who gets a kick out of killing cats. Again, audiences didn’t take to the film, but lucky for Chloe, it didn’t have a negative impact on her career.
Sevigny in Last Days of Disco
By 1998, critics finally embraced a film Chloe starred in when she portrayed a young New Yorker in the 1980s trying to establish her career in The Last Days of Disco. This was also the year in which Chloe starred in her first commercial movie, Palmetto, with Woody Harrelson and Elisabeth Shue. The film was called a “disappointment” at best.
It was in 1999, however, that everyone began to know Chloe Sevigny. After having starred in another Harmony Korine film entitled Julien Donkey-Boy, and A Map of the World, Chloe starred as the girlfriend of a girl living as a boy in Boys Don’t Cry, opposite Hilary Swank.
In 2000, Chloe was nominated for an Oscar award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, but it was Hilary who walked away the winner with the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
Chloe in The Brown Bunny
2000 also saw Chloe in the role of Jean in American Psycho, opposite Christian Bale, and then as Amy in the HBO made-for-TV movie If These Walls Could Talk 2, opposite Nia Long and Michelle Williams.
After a two-year hiatus, Chloe made a brief return in 2002, starring in Demon Lover. To date, 2003 has been Chloe’s busiest year as she starred in five movies, including Party Monster, Dogville and The Brown Bunny, a movie that was panned by critics and featured Chloe in a graphic sex scene in which she performs fellatio on her costar and real-life ex-boyfriend Vincent Gallo.
After the movie, Chloe was immediately dropped by the William Morris agency, as they thought she was unmarketable after a “performance” like that, but Chloe was quickly picked up by Endeavor and by 2004, she starred in Melinda & Melinda, opposite Amanda Peet and Will Ferrell.
Chloe Sevigny in Zodiac
The next year proved to be another very busy one, as Chloe starred in four films: Manderlay, Broken Flowers, 3 Needles, and Mrs. Harris.
There’s no doubt that Chloe’s career has not missed a beat, as 2006 had her starring in Sisters, Lying and the HBO TV series Big Love, about polygamy.
And things continue to look good for Chloe; she starred in Zodiac with Jake Gyllenhaal, and portrayed Catherine I in Catherine and Peter in 2007.

Shirtless Celeb Of The Day - Hayden Christensen
Hayden Christensen has grown up to be one helluva good-looking man. I admit I wasn't keen on him in the Star Wars series, but after seeing him in Factory Girl and Awake, I have a new respect for his body and face, and I wouldn't mind rubbing him all over me.

Annoying Friends - 4 Ways To Get Rid Of Them
We all have them; they’ve been hanging around for years, annoying us to the point where we feel the need to avoid them. They’re our annoying friends.
And if you’re like most people, you don’t like the idea of confrontation or hurting someone’s feelings. But she’s so annoying that you really need to get her out of your life.
So what do you do, short of moving to another city? Well, luckily, you have other options and there are easy, subtle ways to get annoying friends out of your life.
Get rid of annoying friends tip #1
Make sarcastic remarks
If you’re not the type to bite back when someone annoys you, it may be time to show a little spunk and give them a taste of their own medicine.
Depending on how she annoys you, you need to make remarks that expose her behavior. Without biting so hard that silence falls across the room, you can start by making jokes or remarks about how she is.
The wonderful thing about jokes and sarcasm is that, as much as the person it’s directed at wants to say something, they can’t because they’ll never be sure whether or not you’re kidding.
For example, if you have a friend who does nothing but gossip about everyone and their mother, say something like, “wow, I’m shocked to hear you talking about people so much, that’s so not like you.”
Gage her reaction to your comments and if she becomes somewhat uncomfortable, there’s a good chance she won’t want to hang around someone who makes her feel that way.
Get rid of annoying friends tip #2
Have an outsider offend her
If you have an outspoken friend (think “female version of Kramer”), explain your predicament to her and ask her to help you out. If she’s the outspoken type, she’ll have no problem doing so, especially considering she’s not friendly with your annoying friend to begin with.
Invite both friends over (along with other friends if you like) and when your friend notices the annoying one acting up, she will call her on it.
If they get into an argument, all the better. But prepare to be confronted by the annoying friend afterwards. This is where you need to be the most careful because if you’re not, you may end up getting stuck with her for life.
If she asks you how she offended your friend, tell her that you can’t speak for your friend, but that it may be her constant need for attention. If she disagrees and doesn’t believe that it could be that, shrug your shoulders. In time, she may face the truth.
But, and this is important, make it clear that your “outspoken” friend is a very close friend of yours and that the two of you hang out constantly. With any luck, she’ll stay away any time you mention that she’ll be there.
Get rid of annoying friends tip #3
Avoid her till she goes away
Avoiding a friend is difficult and creates feelings of guilt, but if you hate confrontation and prefer to just drop them cold turkey, this may the only way to go.
Get caller ID and whenever you see her number, just don’t answer the phone. If you need an answering machine, that may be problematic because if you run into her in the future and she asks why you never returned her messages, you’ll have some ‘splainin’ to do.
If possible, avoid owning an answering machine altogether and you can plead innocent. If she asks why you never called, use the “I’m busy” speech. If she’s got any brains at all, she’ll get the hint. If not, then it’s up to you to lie by omission. Don’t offer to call her or say that the two of you should get together, otherwise she won’t stop calling.
Get rid of annoying friends tip #4
Annoy her back
If worst comes to worst, and it’s quite possible that it will, it’s time for you to bring out the big guns and become the woman that annoys you. If she gossips, you will begin to do the same. If she criticizes everything you do, you will do the same right back to her.
The point is to make her recognize how annoying she really is. Unfortunately, there’s a good chance that she won’t get it, but that doesn’t matter because you will likely offend her.
If she asks you why you’re behaving this way, explain that sometimes the only way to show someone how they make you feel is by making them feel the same way. Having solid examples on hand would be great.
This might turn into a confrontation that will end in one of two ways:
1. She might apologize for having been such a bitch for so long and promise to make changes to her attitude.
2. She might become irate because of your accusations and swear that your friendship is over.
Either way, I think you come out a winner, but then, that may be for you to decide.
Annoying friends are useless
There will come a time in your life when you will want to break free of someone – whether it be a relative, a boyfriend, or a girl friend, and although confrontation may not be your forte, you will have to stand up for yourself and refuse to settle for less than you want.
Be the strong woman that you are and don’t let anyone make you feel small or uncomfortable. You are your own protector.

Celebrity Flaw of the Day - Jennifer Love Hewitt Cellulite
A while ago, Jennifer Love Hewitt lost it on the bloggers for calling her a fat ass. And although she claims to be a size 2, her body proportions say otherwise. She's small on the top and quite large on the bottom. But alas, I digress. The point is that Jennifer Love Hewitt has been plagued with the orange peel.

Lip Gloss - 7 Essentials
In recent years, lip gloss has become the new lipstick, replacing the once blunt colors with brilliant, shiny, plumped up lips.
Unfortunately, there are so many lip gloss options out there now, that it’s difficult to figure out which ones are best and which ones leave you with nothing more than sticky, smudged lips.
Luckily, it wasn’t too difficult to find some of the best lip gloss money could buy because it seems that the cosmetics companies really know what they’re doing when it comes to lip gloss nowadays.
So whether you want to plump your lips up, make them shine, or give them a slight hue, here are the perfect lip glosses that will do just that.
Lip gloss #1Lip Fusion
Used as a standalone, or under or over lipstick, Lip Fusion’s goal is to plump your lips while simultaneously adding shine.
Using marine collagen micro spheres, your lips will swell within seconds of application and the results may be seen upwards of 48 hours.
The best part is that it’s completely transparent so it can serve to enhance your lips and any lipstick you want to wear. Or, you can opt to go nude and let your swollen lips shine at their best.
Approximate cost: $35
Lip gloss #2Dior Gourmette
If you’re the kind of woman who carries nothing around with her but her lip gloss, then you’re going to love Dior Gourmette.
Disguised as a silver bracelet with the Dior logo, underneath the logo hide two lip gloss shades – pink shimmer and light bronze shimmer – that can be applied easily and discreetly.
Approximate cost: $70
Lip gloss #3Nars Lip Gloss
A simple-looking tube and sponge wand provide both enough shine and color (the gloss comes in a variety of colors) to last you through dinner.
With unique names like Orgasm, Boogie Nights and Dirty Shame, there is definitely a hue that’s perfect for your beautiful lips.
Approximate cost: $25
Lip gloss #4Laura Mercier Lip Glace
A transparent high-shine gloss that can be worn alone or over lipstick, Lip Glace gives your lips that glassy-looking shine in an instant.
The drawback is that if your hair is down, it may get stuck to your lips. So this gloss is best worn on days when you opt for an up-do.
Approximate cost: $20
Lip gloss #5Bare Escentuals Mood Lips Lip Palette
Containing five translucent colors – red pearl, turquoise pearl, orange pearl, silver pearl, and violet pearl – the palette will transform your lipstick shades or can be worn on their own.
Made with lavender essential oil, antioxidant agents like green tea and pomegranate extracts, and shea butter, the palette is a must-have for any woman with problem lips.
And if the palette itself weren’t enough, the case comes with a mirror and a brush for your application pleasure.
Approximate cost: $25
Lip gloss #6Pout Lip Gloss
Infused with peppermint, Pout cools the lips and makes them tingle instantly. A patented technology further hydrates the lips and stimulates your natural collagen.
Available in transparent or four other colors, you can wear Pout alone or over your favorite lipstick.
Approximate cost: $25
Lip gloss #7Hard Candy Stain & Shine
A two-in-one tube that’s small enough to fit into your back pocket, one side of this tube offers up lip and cheek color, and the other side delivers a sheer gloss that can be worn with the color or alone.
Available in two colors – siren red berry stain or cotton candy pink – Hard Candy manages to give your face everything needed to warm up your complexion.
Approximate cost: $15
Lip gloss for you
No matter what your mood or your style, there are myriad lip glosses to be found and there’s bound to be one that’s suitable for you.
Now you can plump, shine and color with one simple step. Enjoy.
