That's a Whole Lotta Wig...

Useless factoid of the day: Beyonce (who is clearly richer than you) has a collection of "hairpieces" worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 million dollars. The girl is obsessed with them! And I'm pretty sure her real hair hasn't seen the light of day since 2001...if she even has any left.

Here's what CelebSpleak users thought about Bey's hair-raising collection:

wOnky says: What I want to know is, how many Mongolian yaks had to die so that Beyonce could have her wigs custom-made out of their silky pelts? Perhaps thousands. I'm pretty sure that with $1 million worth of wigs, she could have singlehandedly depleted the entire population by now.

Tarah says:
Porcelan veneers on 8 teeth--$40,000. Restorative laser treatment to improve skin elasticity--$2,200 per treatment. Mink eyelashes--$475 per pair. Human-hair wig--$6,000. Fooling the world into thinking you're much prettier than you actually are--priceless.

Victoria, You Forgot Something!

Victoria Beckham attended the launch of her new fragrance at Macy's wearing a pair of $6,000 thigh-high PVC boots. And I'm pretty sure she got ripped off, because they're missing something. Something she usually never leaves home without:

Heels! Those boots don't have heels!

What do you think? Do you love them? Hate them? Think they'd be more at home on an alien starship than at a fragrance launch?

My Beauty Camp Experience

Beauty has many definitions and expectations. However, I believe that beauty starts on the inside. Inner beauty is the key to outer beauty, and I learned this through my experience at My Beauty Camp.

All of the information and workshops at My Beauty Camp made me stronger both physically and mentally. Every day we learned how to put together a healthy meal and exercised to help our bodies develop a strong core. I also learned about skincare and how my skin needs to be clean and protected from germs—that acne can affect you both outwardly and emotionally. Everything taught was very beneficial and I'm glad I had the opportunity to come to My Beauty Camp.

Rihanna And The Runway

Milan Fashion Week is making headlines with glamorous spring looks (and not-so-glamorous spills from certain Prada models), but there is one story in particular that caught our attention. We found out that Rihanna, seated front row at the Gucci show, won’t be sitting on the sidelines much longer: the singer revealed that she will be starting her own fashion line. Now we know this girl has great style, so we’re pretty excited to see what she has to offer! How about you?Claire

Jump a Jonas, Earn $10,000!

A radio station in Wisconsin has put out a bounty on Joe and Kevin's virginity! They say any girl (or presumably, guy) who can prove they took the V-Card of either Joe or Kevin can walk away with $10,000! Of course, they're calling it the "Jump-a-Jonas" contest. Tacky.

Ap080808018024

Here's what CelebSpleak's users had to say about it:

allie says: A radio station in Grand Rapids, MI is offering $10,000 to the girl who can prove they took Joe Jonas' V-card! I think Kevin is in the clear, though, because we all know he just wants to have sex with his collection of neck scarves.

jojo says: Ahhh! This whole contest thing is just too creepy. I hope they keep a bodyguard on them at all times, because I have a feeling this is going to inspire some obsessed fangirl to hide in their closets and jump out when they least expect it!

(Sort of) Breaking News! Lindsay (Sort of) Comes Out!

You can always count on Loveline's Dr. Drew to bring a dose of that much-needed truth serum. The man is a genius. And apparently he got Lindsay Lohan as a guest the other night, and when Stryker asked her how long she'd been with Samantha, she replied (without a pause) "A long time." That counts as confirming a relationship, right? For like, the 5th time.

Ap080906013166

Here's what CelebSpleak users had to say about the latest LiLo love development:

gossipgirl says: Not only did Lindsay admit that she and Sam have been going out for a long time, but she thanked the host when he told them they made a cute couple! I don't really believe the engagement rumors, but it really does seem like they're in a committed, and even sort of normal relationship. Good for lindsay.

mamacita says:
I can't believe all the awful things Lindsay's dad says about her in the press. If u ask me, he just wants to be famous too and he's using her in the worst possible way. I'm happy for Linds and Sam. And Michael Lohan should get his mouth stapled shut.

My Beauty Camp Experience

As one of four winners of the Retin-A Micro Pump and ELLEgirl.com contest, I got to go to “My Beauty Camp” in Santa Monica, California. And I had an AWESOME time!

The five days I attended “My Beauty Camp” were filled with fun workshops on health, beauty, and confidence-building topics. Some of the things discussed were money matters, skincare solutions, college preparation, and goal-setting. My favorite topic was make-up versus “fake-up”. Learning how to give myself a facial was fun too!

Elizabeth and James…and now Steven

Young style icons in their own right, Mary-Kate and Ashley are adding to the ever-growing Olsen empire with a new shoe collection. Dualstar Entertainment Group, the twins’ management firm, has confirmed that the duo will collaborate with Steven Madden Ltd. to create a footwear line under the Elizabeth and James brand. Slated for stores in mid-2009, my only concern is: how much will they cost? While I love Steve Madden shoes (yes, I admitted it), it’s not like the two labels feign the same price point (ie. with the amount of money you spend on an Elizabeth and James tank top you could buy two pairs of shoes). Regardless, I will be on the lookout and, with any luck, not all the shoes will sky-high because, after all, not everyone stands only 5'ft tall (or are they 5’1”?). –Meredith

Kiss of Death?

Once reserved for Halloween (and that Gothic kid at school), the black lip has found a new niche. Models at Yves Saint Laurent strutted down the runway sporting fierce ebony lips. The culprit? YSL Limited Edition Gloss in Pur Black. Finding yourself tempted by the dark side? The key to a fashionable, and not frightening, black pout is to keep it glossy. Matte black is so Morticia. And careful who you kiss. Your lips just might tell.
