I am pretty sure I'm not the only one that developed a mad, almost fanatical crush on Patrick Swayze as he crawled lustfully across the floor toward Baby to the tune of "Hungry Eyes." Seriously, that "Dirty Dancing" scene practically shaped my romantic expectations -- and my love for classic '80s curls (see the best products for curls here).

"The city never sleeps, better slip you a Ambien." In the song "Empire State of Mind", that's Jay-Z's solution for New Yorkers' sleepless nights, but maybe it's their lack of zzz's that kept them off this cities with the most youthful skin list. Did your town make the cut? If not, it might be time to relocate ...

Young Hollywood reigned supreme last night as everyone who's anyone in the under 30 crowd, descended upon the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.

And, while the "Twilight" franchise predictably snagged most of the golden popcorn, the big shock was how pretty and glowing most of the starlets looked. (Learn how to get good and golden like these best bronzed celebrities.) Ok, Sandra Bullock kissing Scarlett Johansson was a little shocking, too.

Had to share this conversation between two friends I overheard last night in the beauty aisle of a drugstore (see the 20 best drugstore beauty buys here):

Ever since "Ray" put Kerry Washington on the map, I've been coveting her glowing skin (watch this video to make dark skin glow). It can't hurt that she has access to the best of the best beauty gurus, and I bet they told her to follow these top skin, makeup and hair tricks for African American women. What do you think?

Sorry to break it to you, but not all beauty and fashion trends look good on everyone (see which celeb beauty trends to try and avoid). Case in point: I can't bring myself to wear those of-the-moment genie pants -- they just scream "MC Hammer" to me -- but I do wear coral lipstick and I would totally recreate Leona Lewis' fishtail braid, which is one of the "bests" on our list of best and worst celeb braids. Which one would you wear? And who's look is making you gag most?

Here at Total Beauty, big hair equals big prizes. We put five beauty bloggers up to a challenge: Create a voluminous hairstyle using Sebastian Volupt Spray, $19.99 (see other top-rated hairsprays here) to be judged by our editors for a chance to win a trip to New York Fashion Week this September.

Women are always seeking out the new, best and quickest ways to tighten, primp, and stop the natural aging process. Beauty-enhancing gadgets may look differently than they did in years past, but the crazy beauty gadgets below are similar in their overall go-go gadget wackiness.

No. 9: Love My Bubbles Butt Pads and Hip Pad Briefs

Sometimes I doubt that my anti-aging potions and lotions (like these beauty breakthroughs of 2010) actually work, don't you? I mean, I arduously apply 'em day and night, but when I don't see super measurable results, I can't help but wonder … are they doing jack for my imminent wrinkles?

We recently gave you a comprehensive wedding day beauty countdown guide -- covering everything from brows to Botox. But we wanted to expound on the hair color portion since we just caught up with Michael Canale, Jennifer Aniston's (see her sexiest styles ever here) long-term colorist (he did hers and Brad's wedding color for their big day -- sniff).
