BAD SURGERY: Natasha Hamilton

Then

Now

I had always thought that former Atomic Kitten girl band singer was a natural beauty. But recently when she was seen at the MOBO awards she doesn't look so natural anymore and unfortunately it's not bad make up.

Clearly it looks like she has had some surgery done on her lips, nose, face, breasts and maybe even her eyes too? I'm not quite sure what is going on with those large almost joined eyebrows either. Drawn on or stuck on perhaps!?

This is a perfect example that some things are better left alone.

PREVIEW YOUR GLASSES LOOK: Zenni Frame Fit

Leading online subscription glasses provider Zenni have recently revamped their website. I really love their fantastic online tool called Zenni Frame Fit that you can use to see how your item would look before you buy glasses online.

As well as the special Frame Fit tool prices have been slashed further with glasses starting from just $6.95.

GASP! JENNIFER LOPEZ'S CELLULITE LEGS

It's not very often you see a big celebrity and one that is well known for looking after her appearance and image to be seen out with the dreaded cellulite.

Unfortunately the media will try and capture anything for that picture of the day and sadly for Jennifer Lopez she was it.

You would think with all the money she had she would fix it or maybe shes not so 'plastic happy' as her fellow celebrities and prefers not to have any surgery. Who knows!

Then again she is 42 years old and we are all doomed to get it at some point in our lives if not already. But when your in the spotlight it all seems to become such a big deal doesn't it?

CREATE A CONTEMPORARY HOME LOOK: White Furniture

What I love about the colour white is that is a beautiful choice to brighten up any room. It always give me that clean and fresh feeling so I like to use this inspiration in my furniture and decor.

I prefer white tables and other furniture that looks stylish and not just something that has been put together yourself from a flat pack.

There is a nice online store called New England Lifestyle that specialises in exclusive quality white furniture that has been inspired by New England hence the name.

The items are not made abroad and shipped over either. They are designed and created in West Sussex in the UK. On the website You can find white furniture and furnishings for most rooms in your home such as the lounge, dining room, bedroom and home office.

My personal favourites are the welsh dresser 's and shutter lanterns (pictured). The shutter lanterns are perfect for putting out on your patio at night time or even indoors for a moody dim light effect.

I remember my mom used to have a second living room that was kept for special occasions and for visitors coming round. It had a white sofa and other white furnishings giving it a classic and contemporary look. Now that has given me the idea to do the same in my home too.

CELEBRITIES WITH NO MAKEUP: Part 5

Jennifer Garner

It's good to have a no make up day from time to time, but I don't know about you but I like to keep my no make up days indoors! What were these celebrities thinking stepping out into the spotlight like this?

Have a look at the before and after pictures. Which onedo you think is the worst?

UMA THIRMAN'S MAKEUP DISASTER MOMENT

Poor Uma Thurman. She turns up at the David Mamet's A Life In The Theatre premiere only for her translucent face powder to let her down later on. In saying that I am not quite sure what happened to her hair style either!

Damn those paparazzi and their bright lights! Or should she be damning the people who didn't tell her her face was turning into a snowman's before she stepped out?

The USA XFactor will still be continuing as planned. Where will all this schedule fit in? Mr Cowell will be a busy boy over the next few years!

Simon said of this news;

“I'm thrilled to conclude this deal with ITV to enable our relationship to continue to develop. I'm committed to making sure both shows get bigger and better every year."

MEN'S BODYMAX ENHANCER PANTS HIT THE HIGH STREET

O.K I think it's great that women can get push up bra's to enhance their assets but I cant help but think these men's pants from high street fashion store Marks & Spenser are a little bit too seedy.

The pants are called BodyMax and are designed to enhance your bottom and .. er .. front area!

Do we really want to be walking around with our eyes diverting at the lower parts wondering if it is the enhancement pants or something else! The picture says it all really doesn't it!?

CARAVAN HOLIDAY THOUGHTS

I like to get away for the weekend sometimes, but it needs to be somewhere that won't be too expensive when there are four of you to feed and entertain.

My brother has a caravan and we like to borrow it every now and then and get out to one of those caravan and camping sites . This way you save money on the accommodation, and because they are proper caravan camping sites there will be local amenities and facilities nearby.

It's great to be surrounded by other people on the park who have bought their own caravans and see what theirs look like and how they live out of their temporary home. For example I have saw a family before with a canopy attachment that is used for sitting outside in the sun and doubles up as a nice BBQ relaxation area.

I have thought about getting a caravan myself but in the end I always end up going for the option of borrowing my brothers caravan or renting a static one instead to save money and hassle.

Have you ever been on a caravan or camping break? And would you consider having your own caravan to make your own holiday?

MADONNA'S DOLCE & GABBANA LEAKED BEFORE PIC

Do you usually get drawn into these pictures of celebrities on the cover of magazines and think 'wow they good for their age?' Well think again! We could all look that good with some airbrushing.

And Madonna is one that has fell victim to a before and after photo leakage for a Dolce and Gabbana campaign.

At 52 it is to be expected to have the wrinkles, under eye lines, aging skin and in Madonna's case those bulging veins from her tough work outs. The difference in the two pictures is shocking isn't it!?

LYNDSAY LOHAN IN DEMAND FOR BALLOON POPPING

No matter how unpopular you are as a celebrity there will always be someone who thinks you would be good for business! For Lindsay Lohan it's a fetish website called Clips4sale who have offered Lindsay Lohan $50,000/£31.995 to pop some balloons for them.

One of their spokes people said;

“If Lilo comes in and pops a few balloons - on camera of course - she'll leave $50,000 richer. No nudity. No whips. No chains.”

Should she do it? Of course she should! It's not like she has any reputation left to uphold anyway has she!?

'CLEAR BOX' DEVICE TO GIVE WOMEN CHEAPER CAR INSURANCE

As a woman do you ever wish you could be judged on your driving ability personally instead of being faced with a database of set rate insurance premiums?

Now there is a way to track the way you use your car with the clever telematics device called Clear Box.

The device can access your driving insurance risk amongst other things. But more importantly calculate your premium fairly.

NEW WEIRD TREND: Meat Lace Accessories

Oh dear oh dear. It looks like Lady GaGa has been inspiring crazy designers again after she wore that famous meat dress.

Now you can get necklaces and cuffs called Meat Lace from website Ouch Movement.
Apparently it doesn't matter how often you wear the accessories they are 'guaranteed to never spoil' and they will 'look just as fresh and delicious as the day it was first cut.'

Maybe if I was a vampire I would probably find this newly found fashion trend rather cool. So I guess it's down to the carnivores and the weird people to wear them instead!

USEFUL BOLLYWOOD INFORMATION & RESOURCES

The world of Bollywood has become extremely popular even more so over the past few years thanks to Hollywood movies like Slumdog Millionaire.

Bollywood movies are always a firm favourite too amongst the Indian culture. Not just in India itself but it's watched by countries around the world such as Iran, Israel and sometimes in Hollywood also.

In fact when you go to most cinemas there always seem to be special showings for Bollywood movies. So that alone shows that there is a huge demand.

If you're interested in finding out more about Bollywood movies , music or finding your nearest Bollywood theatre or shopping district website BollywoodIcon is a good place to try.

Here you can find anything and everything to do with Bollywood. Whether your looking to download the Bollywood songs , search for specialist stores in Deli, read the latest film reviews, follow the latest twitter status' for Shahrukh Khan or you simply want to know what the weather is like in Deli this database of information is full of all sorts of resources.

Any lover of Bollywood will enjoy this site just to catch up on the latest news or even if it's just to click on the recommended links to other reputable online Bollywood sources.

I have saw some movies on TV before but it's not something I have been able to focus on fully seeing as it's not my culture, but it's something I would definitely like to learn more about.

I have always found it fascinating how the actors and actresses sing their way through the film and the way they tell the story through music.

If your not sure what Bollywood is you can learn a lot from Bollywood Icon, and if your already familiar with it hopefully it will help you find the things or places your looking for.

KIM KARDASHIAN'S RISKY 'W' MAGAZINE COVER

Reality star Kim Kardashian has tried to put her playboy cover days behind her by doing another naked cover for W magazine! But this time her bits have been covered up by clever banner positioning.

Kim said about her 2007 Playboy cover;

“I’m sorry I did Playboy. I was uncomfortable."

She also discussed how she felt about her body;

“I used to think, I have to be this or that or skinny, and now, because of the show, everyone is embracing just me, which has given me such a confidence. Now, I'm like, 'Why did I ever give that feeling the time of day?'”

Good to see a normal size girl on a magazine cover for a change, but I do wonder how much airbrushing has gone into it. Imagine if there was no airbrushing for celebrities. Gasp!

CHILD CAR SEAT BUYING GUIDE

If you're searching for child car seats for the first time or maybe your looking to get a newer one, it's always good to know what to look out for and which type is the best to get.

For instance are you after convertible car seats that transfer from a baby to an infant seat? Or maybe your not sure what kind of seat is best for your toddler? In fact did you know that you need to change your seat when your child is 20 pounds heavier?

A recommended site to look for this information is Shop Wiki. They are an online resource that provides you with various guides on what I mentioned above and also safety and flying tips.

As well as this you can browse through the car seat section that feature chairs for babies, toddlers and older children. Top stores will appear where you can buy them from and you will be able to compare prices from one place.

JAIME WINSTONE'S FILM REEL DRESS

Any other time a unusual dress styled other than the norm would be frowned upon as some some of fashion disaster. But I a quite liking this film reel dress Jaime Winstone is wearing at the Virgin Media Shorts awards ceremony,

It was designed by Aminaka Wilmont who actually used film reel to make it. And not just a blank one either - it is the one from 'In Bed With Madonna.'

I bet GaGa is gutted she didn't think to wear this style first. Then again it is a little tame for her liking isn't it. I am going to count on Jaime having a few cuts and bruises on her by the end of the night though from the reels digging in her. Ouch!

HOMELY CAT CONDOS & ACTIVITY CENTERS

Some people will complain that their cat ruins their furniture. That's probably because they are bored. They need cat trees to to sharpen their claws on, a cat tower for climbing and other comfy furniture and toys.

You can these and cat condos to match your room style shipped for free from Ace Cat Furniture.
