  • I never like hearing about celebrity breakups (or any breakups for that matter). I guess it’s just a byproduct of my delusion that I "know" these A-listers that I "see" daily on TV and in mags. Anyway, I was sad to hear that Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet and her director husband Sam Mendes have recently split up after nearly seven years of marriage (hello seven year itch).

  • One of my most degrading airport moments happened on the way back from a business (not pleasure, unfortunately) trip. I was juggling the quintessential wheeled carry on, my laptop case, and big ol’ purse -- and three items were not OK with TSA. So I had to get on my hands and knees and humiliatingly rejigger my stuff so that it fit in two bags. Sigh. And I thought not having the right case for my toiletries (see reader-reviewed makeup cases here) was gonna be my biggest problem.

  • I caught a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror while driving the other day, and the sunshine quickly spotlighted the crow's feet that have formed around my eyes. Ugh. I immediately started going down the OMG-I-am-aging wormhole, but before I let myself get too existential, I started to think more superficially, "What can I do to fix it?" Wearing more sunscreen (check out the best and worst sunblocks according to real women here) was the first thing that popped into my head, yet that's more of a prevention-type thing. Hmmm …

  • Along with teen angst came acne, yet as an adult I still find myself dealing with both. WTF?! Adult acne is the worst. What I wouldn't give for clear skin …

  • I'm a natural blonde, but even god-given hair color needs some enhancement to keep it from looking (in my case) mousey or dishwater-like. But lately I've realized that my trips to the salon are getting pricey (and I'm not quite brave enough to employ these DIY color tips just yet). Not to mention that I've clearly been reading too many trashy mags during my visits, which is why I'm up on "The Bachelor" gossip. So I've decided it's time to start protecting my investment with quality, color-protecting products.

  • I was chatting it up with friends the other day about how certain celebs (who shall remain nameless here) look like such laidback, glowing people on the red carpet, but then, you hear horrible stories about how they were "mean girls" in high school -- so disappointing.

  • Our favorite "Heroes" star got a makeover ... so what do 'ya think? Do you like the red hue and extensions? What's the deal with extensions anyway -- practically everyone in Hollywood has them (check out freaky extreme ones here). What's the point of ever cutting your hair if you're just going to add extensions immediately afterward? Sorry, I digress. Anyway, would love to know your thoughts about Miss Panettiere's new look.

  • The smoky eye, ponytail and mostly-black ensemble I've been sporting since fall is feeling pret-ty drab. And after seeing all of the spring-like looks on the red carpet Sunday -- did you see Rachel McAdams' gorgeous floral gown and glowing skin (loved!) -- I am starting to think it's time for a fashion and beauty overhaul. But before I bare my arms (not to mention my legs) I need to tackle some of my winter skin issues (see how I'm dealing with them here), and hopefully put that, well, spring in my step back. I'm not planning to re-invent the wheel (and you shouldn't either) -- so here are easy ways to update your look for spring -- I would love to be brave enough to do No. 2 (are you?).

  • Oily hair got you down? Join the club. Heck, even Megan Fox gets the greasies. She even tweeted an apology for having shown up at last year's MTV Awards with less than clean strands -- see photo proof here. (Her face is always kinda oily too but that's another problem -- one these top-rated products will help solve.)

  • It's a good thing I'm not famous. Forget that I can't act or sing ('cause obviously that hasn't stopped numerous MTV stars and celebutantes) I also happen to be the least photogenic person ever. And, clearly, as a star, you need to pose for pics and look better-than-good doing it. Just think about how many shutters will be snapping away at the Oscar nominees (see the hairstyles we think they should wear on Sunday here) -- and you don't see them cringing or cowering.
