Christina Aguilera Wants You To Feel Sexy

It’s a seductive time for Christina Aguilera. Not only is the new Queen of Pop suddenly a single girl again and about to enter her 30s (when they say a woman hits her sexual prime), she also has a hot new movie, Burlesque, coming out. Luckily for fans, she’s spreading the sex appeal around, releasing two sensual new fragrances: Christina Aguilera and Christina Aguilera By Night. Here, Christina tells OK! about the scents, and her life as an artist and mom.

What was the inspiration behind your fragrances?
My new album, Bionic, coincides with the fact that after a decade of work I felt accomplished and like I wanted to take on a sort of pop royalty feel with the costumes I’ve been wearing. I wanted to incorporate [that] within the fragrance; giving a little bit of that royal feel. I think every woman needs to feel pampered and be adored and worshipped.

COVER STORY: Sandra & Kim — Both Finding Love Again!

Do your fragrances reflect your personality?
By Night reflects the fact that I am a night owl and I feel my sexiest when it’s night. It’s the moment when everything shuts down, shuts off, and you are not harassed by a zillion phone calls, work e-mails and things like that. It’s a sexier time where things just get darker. I love mood lighting, candles and creating an ambiance. So I love the nighttime, when I can relax and feel extra special.

Seth Rogen Proposal and a Nipple Engagement Ring; Sexy Mom Kendra Wilkinson TV Steam

Couples news - Seth Rogen had a romantic proposal planned for longtime girlfriend Lauren Miller all at the ready. Unfortunately he popped the question while she was naked, and in a closet.
Kendra Wilkinson (pictured) doesn't have that story to tell, but she did have a sexy photo shoot that was interrupted by her NFL husband Hank Baskett.

Follow the celebrity items below.

Time Out - Kendra Wilkinson steamed up the TV screens in a semi-naked post-baby photo shoot during her inner struggle to feel sexy as a new mom. Now married with an 11-month-old son, the curvy blonde showed off her new body on the season premiere of herself titled E! reality show on Sunday night.

Kendra has lost her baby weight and is ready to be the sexy, athletic diva her fans have grown to love. During the first episode, she was swayed back and forth over a decision to pose once more for Playboy, and did the test shoot as a warm up. But the fire quickly fizzled out when a surprised Hank turned up mid-shoot and whisked Kendra away for a serious chat.

Cameras followed 25-year-old Kendra, NFL star Hank and their baby Hank Jnr as they started a new life in Philadelphia. Baskett had signed up to play with the Philadelphia Eagles at the time.

Nipple engagement ring?

Seth Rogen ended up popping the question to Lauren Miller when she was topless in their bedroom.

He said on the Conan O'Brien show: "She was in our closet, changing, and she was literally only in her underpants. I had already kind of started [to propose]. ... I didn't picture it like this, and I know she didn't picture it like this."

"I figured the only appropriate thing was to place the ring on her nipple."

Miley Exposes Her Side Boob & Sexy Tattoo

Honestly, Miley Cyrus — you must WANT to expose yourself. This is the second time in the past month you’ve shown off the sides of your breasts. Once — hey, it’s a wardrobe malfunction and can happen to anyone.

But twice in the same month, and especially at a big awards show, then Miley Cyrus, you’re doing this on purpose.From the front, you looked like you were finally getting prim and classy in your long white tiered Dolce & Gabbana gown – but the loose top allowed for a very visible peep show on the side.

You gave onlookers a full side boob view in Toluca, California, on Oct. 23; and you went out braless and exposed your nipples Oct. 12 — you decided to leave the bra at home and give the world an eyeful. We now also know that you have an under-breast tattoo, which reads “Just Breathe.”

8 Non-Sexy Halloween Costumes That Guys Will Still Go Nuts Over

Halloween, how I have grown to loathe you!

As we get older, it becomes less of an opportunity to get candy and be somebody else for a day than an obligation to suffer through bad parties and legions of people dressed as whatever is culturally popular at the moment. (Remember, not long ago, when a legion of Borats choked the streets?)

What happened to, like, ghosts and vampires? Our teenagers have besmirched the legend of Dracula and the entire vampire myth by appearing outdoors in broad daylight. You can't even get a halfhearted "I vant to suck your blood" anymore. The new vampires all have mussed hair and look like they just got out of a Big Head Todd concert after some so-so hash.

But for you women, it can be a minefield. Here's a night, unlike myth-less and commercially invented Valentine's Day (which actually punishes women who are single), that is prime for women, especially single women, to completely own.

First of all, it's wardrobe-based! Women are really the most capable of putting together a really, uh, alluring outfit. I'm not going out on any limbs here. Halloween is a night where every woman can put on the most creative and insane and sexy fashion she wants.

And yet year after year, you ladies dress up like naughty Catholic schoolgirls, naughty nurses, naughty pussycats or naughty whatever-starlet-is-topical. "Oh wow you're a naughty French maid and you've even got the duster going please get that away from my drink I don't know where that's been."

It's time to get creative, people.

Here are 8 costume ideas that will have you looking sexy (without being derivatively "naughtied" out) while saving you the indignity of being one of three Lindsay Lohans with an overly powdered nose at the party. (Leave that poor girl alone already.) Also, dressing up as a witch and calling yourself Christine O'Donnell sounds sort of clever to you now, but I just called it and now it's ruined. So there. And no Lady Gagas. Just no.

Cop
Pros: I know what you're thinking -- this is pretty played out, too. But hear me out. If you really do this right -- and I'm talking about mirrored sunglasses and a shiny badge and dark blue pants with a black belt and holstered baton and black boots -- you will own that party or bar or Tea Party church basement candy-swap/Obama-chop gathering. Female cops can look irrefutably sexy while actually having much of their skin covered up. Clearly there's a power-balance thing at play that still somehow works when it's make-believe, but also it's just that form-fitting cop get-ups are just hot.

Con: If it looks too real there could, and I'm just saying could here, be a higher-percentage chance of something insane happening, like you being called on to disarm a Taser-wielding mugger or mediate a dispute between angry street vendors. Also, impersonating a cop is illegal, so don't go all Method. Beware.

Flight Attendant
Pros: You get to wear a cravat and carry a purse full of mixed nuts and tiny liquor bottles.

Cons: People may ask you to fetch them drinks and loudly harangue you for charging $5 for these crappy earphones. Hey, you just work for American Airlines, you don't price the stupid amenities. GOD.

Cleopatra
Pros: What am I missing here, exactly? She was notoriously intelligent and sexy, she comes with the cool black-eye-shadow-trailing-off-each-eye thing and those gold snake bicep bracelets I seem to recall her wearing during HBO's "Rome" and all those gown-y type clothes. Plus, she is rumored to have committed suicide by cobra.

Cons: People who dress up like Cleopatra but don't even bother to visit her Wikipedia page. She was married to Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopater well before Mark Antony. Come on, get your matrimonial chronology right, Cleopatras!

Thelma & Louise
Pros: It's a two-person ensemble, so you'll have backup all night. You get to wear bandannas. You get to wear boots. You get to grab each other's hands while pretending you're careening into the Grand Canyon and scream over and over during the course of the night.

Cons: You have to wear mom jeans. No, no, there's no debating this. If you're going to be Thelma and Louise, you're going to have access to your bellybutton through your zipper. I don't make up the rules.

Tennis Pro
Pros: Well, this is just a lay-up. You get to wear a skirt and tight shirt and carry a racket and grunt when you exert yourself. You get to wear an armband or headband or both. You get practice your backhand while in line for the bathroom.

Cons: Answer questions of which tennis player you're supposed to be. Like, who knows anything about tennis?

Harvard Law Professor and Bankruptcy Expert Elizabeth Warren
Pros: Stickin' it to Wall Street!

Cons: No one will get this and you'll lose all your friends.

Inmate
Pros: Comfortable one-piece ensemble. You get to carry a shiv, and you can still get a jumpsuit tight enough to show off your curves.

Cons: You're wearing a one-piece jumpsuit. In public.

Bob Dylan
Pros: Hey, if Cate Blanchett can do it in a movie, so can you, right? Right? Look, there's nothing quite as fun as doing a bad Bob Dylan impersonation, plus, he's had a lot of different looks over the years for you to choose from.

Cons: You might end up looking like Gabe Kaplan from "Welcome Back Kotter."

There you have it, folks. Any one of those costumes would be fun, and there are a million more (and better) ideas to get really creative. The idea I was trying to get across is that it's really more about the attitude you bring to the costume, the personality you inhabit, rather then the outfit itself.

And hey, if none of these really do it for you, and you feel like you absolutely have to do the routine slutty-Halloween look, then for the love of God can you at least go as the St. Pauli Girl? There isn't a man on Earth immune to a girl in a miniskirt holding beer steins.

Fashion or Whatever: Halloween is an excuse to dress sexy

Figuring out what to dress up as for Halloween is a conundrum for the slothful and the lazy.

Those two words embody my personality, and anytime I have to lift myself up and use my brain to conjure up a costume around Halloween time, I either reach for a sandwich or drift off into a snooze or a combination of both.

Pretending as if I had money in my bank account, I decided to check out the convenient pre-made costumes that come in plastic bags at the nearby Aahs! Gift Store and the Spirit Halloween Store in Westwood. And as a warning to the two readers of this column out there, the following account of my Halloween excursion will use the word “sexy” ad nauseam.

As I perused the costumes at both stores, I saw every variation of the sexy costume – from the typical, such as the sexy school girl, to the utterly unfathomable, such as the sexy tater tot. There were costumes that no one would ever describe as sexy, such as the murderous Chucky doll, the hirsute Chewbacca from “Star Wars” and a straitjacket. I did not know the asylum could be such a tease. When I saw costumes such as a sexy Elmo and a sexy Nemo of “Finding Nemo,” my mind was simultaneously laughing and crying for the loss of my childhood.

Jack Singh, general manager of Aahs! Gift Store, said that the most popular sexy costumes every year are the gypsy and the sailor and predicted that the sexy “Avatar” costume would be a hit this year. Little did James Cameron know that his blue-skinned characters would open up the gates of a Na’vi sexy Halloween costume market that no one could have predicted.

And I don’t know what took so long, but Victoria’s Secret unveiled a collection of sexy costumes titled “Sexy Little Fantasies,” ranging from the overwrought sexy kitty to the sexy nurse. And with that, I say that the sexy Halloween costume life cycle is complete.

When did the holiday celebrating the wonders of the miniature Snickers bar turn into one where one can wear a sexy Snickers bar costume? I don’t even know, because many of the suggestive costumes I saw were packaged for the tween set, ages 9 and up. I blame Miley Cyrus.

But, realistically speaking, Halloween is the only holiday of the year when it is completely normal to wear as few clothes as possible. As Lindsay Lohan’s character so expertly said in the 2004 film, “Mean Girls,” “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut, and no other girls can say anything about it.”

The wise Lohan has a point. There are few times in the year that the sight of someone dressed as a sexy bumblebee teetering around frat row looking for a lost cell phone in the bushes can be normal. Same goes for a sexy maid frantically looking for her lost feather duster at the apartment parties. Although I’m sure these antics would happen on most Thursday nights.

As for finding a costume, I don’t know what to do in the age of dressing as the sexy yeti.

With my bank account drained from paying for school, I didn’t have $70 to pay for a Lady Gaga costume, which I believe would not fall into the sexy costume genre and more into the inanely dressed pop star costume genre. I guess I’ll be cutting up three holes in my sheets and going as an economically-efficient ghost.

Although I wonder if it would be redundant to dress as a sexy stripper for Halloween.

Sexy Halloween Costumes All the Rage On College Campuses

Little Ho Peep.

Halloween is not just for children. And this year, for college women it seems, the costumes are getting skimpier, smaller, shorter and tighter.

On the Web are styles to choose from. Sexy White Snow is a skimpy rendition of the classic princess: a royal blue spandex bra-style top accompanied by a yellow micro-mini skirt with red thigh-highs. And Sexy Miss Red is an adult-rated version of Little Miss Riding Hood: a red gingham one-piece lingerie "teddy" with attached garters, a dangerously short petticoat, mini hood and cape.

Rosha Safarmehdi, a junior at Arizona State University, has noticed Halloween outfits making the transition from conservative to skimpy.

“I feel like girls use Halloween as an excuse to dress skimpier or get guys’ attention,” she told ABCNews.com. “I definitely think by dressing more conservative, I would be the odd one out.”

Sam Hauser, 21, a senior at ASU, recently attended a party where she said everyone was dressed provocatively.

“At ASU if you don’t show up [to a party] dressed up kind of scandalous, people wonder why you’re a prude,” said Hauser.

Hauser said students – particularly ones who have recently moved out of their parents’ home -- show up to Halloween parties in sexy attire in order to fit in.

"Everyone is experimenting and figuring out who they are. As much as it is a strange thing to say... you won't fit in and you're not going to make very many friends, and that's what college is all about," said Hauser.

Doug Fielder, owner of Fantasy Costumes in Tempe, located within a mile of ASU, attended this year’s TransWorld costume convention in Chicago, and said many vendors pride themselves on providing sexier costumes.

Fielder's website has an online catalog with costumes categorized by style, with one titled “sexy female costumes.” That’s where you’ll find "sexy nun", "little ho peep" and "sexy Dorothy.”

Fielder acknowledged these costumes aren't for everyone. He said he has customers of all walks of life and even though these highly suggestive costumes are unfortunately a major trend in this business, he tries to stock his store with a wide range of costumes -- from a traditional Freddy Krueger costume to a racy prep school delinquent getup.

Fashion guru and designer, Ashley Pasquan, 21, of Tempe, said Halloween is a time to dress as your alter ego and to have a little fun with the holiday.

“For some it's a superhero, others a monster, and unfortunately for the vast majority of girls this happens to be a sexy maid, firefighter or inmate,” said Pasquan, who writes a fashion blog, and designs and makes clothes that she sells through Facebook.

Jill Horohoe, a women’s history professor at ASU, said dressing provocatively on Halloween is more about gender and society than anything else.

"Women dress in these types of costumes in keeping with the oversexed streotypes they are expected to fulfill in order to [appear] feminine and beautiful," said Horohoe. And younger women “are more apt to wear provocative costumes to gain acceptance and attention."

So the advice from fashion guru Pasquan? Ditch the traditional sexy costumes and stand out by sporting something a little more humorous.

“There are plenty of other days in the year to dress a little risqué,” said Pasquan.

Short is the new SEXY

Be it the bob of the 1920s, the twiggy crop of the ’60s or the pixie cut of ’70s, Bollywood actresses are preferring to keep it short and sweet.

Setting the benchmark for short hair is Canadian actress and model, Lisa Ray, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer— multiple myeloma—last year. Ray, born in Canada to an Indian father and a Polish mother, underwent a stem-cell transplant in January 2010 to treat the multiple myeloma. She was recently spotted at the opening of her film, Cooking With Stella, at the Indian Film Festival 2010, showing off her close crop. Adressing the press gathered at the opening, she had said,“I am loving my new hairstyle. My hair is coming back and it’s looking awesome right now. It is the sleekest and most well-put together look that I have ever sported.”

This was not Lisa's first brush with a shaven pate. Earlier in the 2007 Oscar-nominated movie Water, she donned a similar look. However, suffering hair loss while undergoing the cancer treatment could have been traumatising for most women, but for Lisa it was a different experience. "What was traumatic about losing my hair this time was that I didn't have a choice. But I have enjoyed being bald," she reportedly admitted. Her recent post on her blog adds to her state of mind. “Woke up. Got out of bed. (Did not) drag a comb across my head,” read the post.

"Glee" is Bringing Sexy Back And Paying The Price For It.

Fox's "Glee" is one of the biggest shows on television today. How can a musical comedy about a high school glee club average around 13 million viewers a week? The success of the show is a testament to its ability to combine top-selling tracks, quote-worthy one-liners, and a cast that is filled with triple threats across the board. Recently, however, some of the stars from the young cast have been garnering attention for more than just their vocal talent.
The November issue of the magazine ‘GQ’ puts three of the show’s actors -- Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith -- back in school through a racy editorial, aptly titled, ‘Glee Gone Wild.’ Famed photographer of the stars Terry Richardson, known for his often controversial and revealing shoots, pushed the envelope with the photos from this spread.

Michele, whose poses have been deemed to be the most over-the-top, may be the over-achieving Rachel Berry on the show, but is seen perched up against a locker provocatively licking a lollipop and in scantily clad lingerie with her legs spread wide apart in the shoot. Similarly, Agron who plays the perfectionist cheerleader, Quinn Fabray, is also taking the heat for donning sexy schoolgirl outfits. It seems like Monteith, who plays the football-turned-singing star Finn Hudson, is the only one not affected by this scandal as he remains fully clothed in the photos.

Prior to the magazine's release, the pictures went viral. And surprise, surprise, many family-oriented organizations, such as the Parent Television Council, were among the first to criticize the spread calling it “near pornographic” and even going so far as “pedophilic.”


Although comments surrounding the photos might seem rash, this type of reaction is all too familiar. Every so often a celebrity who rises to fame with a wholesome persona will take part in racy photo shoot and, every time, there will be a media backlash.

Remember Britney Spears on the 1999 cover of 'Rolling Stone' magazine? Fresh off the success of her hit record "Baby, One More Time," Spears appeared spread out across a bed with her shirt unbuttoned and holding a tellytubby doll. Only a couple of years ago, Miley Cyrus incited a similar debate when she posed with her back exposed for an Annie Lebowitz photo in a 2008 issue of "Vanity Fair" Magazine.

In both cases, the media and the public went into a frenzy.

Call it a poor sense of judgment or a brilliant public relations move: controversial photo shoots never end up hurting a celebrity's image more that it can help it. Despite this scandal, millions tuned in to watch the “Rocky Horror Glee Show,” their Halloween themed episode, Tuesday night and the accompanying soundtrack is already the #2 album on iTunes -- right behind Taylor Swift.

While these photos are certainly not geared towards the younger set, those who watch “Glee” on a regular basis will have to remember that the show is not as wholesome as the name might suggest it to be. The writers of the show hardly shy away from controversial issues such as religion, drugs, homosexuality and sex.

Although these young stars might today be going through a cycle of criticism that many before them have faced, it is only a matter of time before these photos become yesterday’s news while they continue to top the television and music charts. And once the ladies of the “The View” discuss this on their "Hot Topics" segment, it'll definitely be time to move on.

Short, Skimpy, Sexy

It is the short skimpy choli look that has been dominating the traditional wardrobe of our desi sexy actresses for quite some time now. From Sonam Kapoor in the film Aisha, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in her recent release Robot and Priyanka Chopra in the movie Anjaana Anjaani to Katrina Kaif, Malaika Arora Khan and Bipasha Basu during their recent public appearances, everyone seem to be on a midriff flaunting spree. The look has been adding more oomph to the ladies in the ethnic saris and lehengas.
If you have it, flaunt it
While designers think that it is actor Priyanka Chopra who looks the most delectable in that short choli, they say she has the body to flaunt it well. Designer Manish Malhotra says, “I have always been innovative with the cholis for saris and lehengas by playing between Indian and western styles. With cholis, it is most important to have the right cut and ensure that it fits you perfectly.” This fashionable skimpy choli can as easily turn into a fashion faux pas if not worn well.

Designer Abdul Halder says, “The cholis are really tiny so you must have a perfect waist and fit stomach to look good in them. If you are not that fit yet keen on wearing a short choli, there are modifications such as using a sheer cloth attached to the choli to cover the tummy or keep the length normal and experiment with the neck or back that can be made more revealing.”

A confident act
The confidence to carry off the skimpy piece of cloth is of maximum important. Then comes the way you drape the dupatta. Malhotra adds, “A net or a chiffon dupatta over the lehenga in a sari style will give an illusion of the skin and also more confidence to carry it off.” If it is a sari in a thick fabric, pin the palla into neat pleats.

But how short is too short? Halder says, “13.5 inches is the shortest to go. You have to be sure that it is not way too short. It must be enough to cover your assets well. Wear it in seedha palla to make the most of the sensuous choli.”

Josh Duhamel`s billboard underwear shock

Josh Duhamel was gobsmacked when he was a giant billboard for his new film Live As We Know featuring himself in his underwear fashion.
'I was taking my wife to the screening of it and we were on our way there, and we saw it. I was like, 'Oh my God! There it is!'' Duhamel said.
The 37-year-old star says he is OK with being seen in his jockey shorts, but he's not sure how flattering they are.
'I didn't feel like it was like a gratuitous underwear shot. I look like a grandpa in my underwear. If anything, it's like the opposite of sexy so I thought it was sort of fun,' he told Access Hollywood.
'My package never looked so huge,' he joked.
'On a 14-storey building it's at least three stories,' his co-star Katherine Heigl quipped.

Karissa Shannon – Sam Jones III Sex Tape ‘Coming’ in Stores Soon

(HMG Celebrity News) – This isn’t the first sex tape involving a indignant Playboy model, that supposedly just flew out a window and ended up at the door step of Vivid Entertainment, right Kendra? Playboy Playmate Karissa Shannon and Smallville actor boyfriend Sam Jones III, have been threatening to sue if Vivid released their sex tape but it was really probably just a negotiating tactic. Sam and Karissa have taken the money according to TMZ, after Vivid Entertainment offered them something in the “six-figure range.” Speculation is that the DVD could easily surpass fellow former Playmate Kendra Wilkinson’s as the best performing celebrity sex tape in Vivid’s history. Vivid Entertainment chairman Steve Hirsch, who has seen his share of celebrity sex tapes (Kendra Wilkinson, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Pamela Anderson), calls it the “most extreme” video of its kind, with a smorgasbord of X-rated acts, with just enough kink to satisfy anyone. He tells TMZ, “We are excited to finally distribute this amazing DVD. Not only is it extremely kinky for a celeb sex tape, Karissa is absolutely beautiful. And as for Sam, let’s just say he’s no ‘Smallville.’ This is sure to be one of our all-time best sellers.”

Montana Fishburne sex tape venture to make her famous has worked

Montana Fishburne ventured releasing a sex tape of herself as a porn movie so that she could become famous like Kim Kardashian. She wanted to break into Hollywood and be a star and tried to do this with he porn movie "Chippy D". Sad to say, it worked and this technique of doing a sex tape may start to become the new backdoor into Hollywood for young women.

According to USA Today, the sex tape that Montana Fishburne released through the porn movie company of Vivid Entertainment, is reportedly a big money maker. They went as far as to say Montana Fishburne may have the biggest selling porn title of the year.

Montana has also been given offers, good offers, not just for porn roles, the website reports. They are mostly acting parts for Montana.

As far as Laurence Fishburne goes, he has not gotten over his 18 year old daughter releasing a sex tape to be turned into a porn movie yet. Montana Fishburne says she will not have a relationship with her father until he respects her and what she does and this does not look as if it will happen any time soon, the young new porn star reports.

"I would be devastated if a daughter of mine took this route to Hollywood", said a Connecticut father of two teenage girls. "It is not only heartbreaking, but it has to be mortifying and embarrassing for Laurence Fishburne hear this about his daughter", he went on to say.

'Friday Night Lights': The sexy new promo from ABC Family

Never watched "Friday Night Lights?" You must be deeply disturbed. Fortunately, you're also in luck.

ABC Family kicks off its syndicated run of the series Tuesday, Sept. 7, and instead of dwelling on the sports angle that no doubt gave the series' trouble finding a wide audience on NBC and DirecTV, they're appealing to your more carnal side by showing off the series' unbridled teen lust.

Yes, it's not all small town hardships and football games. "FNL" is rife with raging teen hormones from the pilot, and Season 1 has just as many hook-ups as its soapier counterparts -- with the added bonus of being one of the more brilliant story-telling vehicles of the last decade's worth of TV, mind you.

So if you like good TV, and you like good-looking people, you'll probably like "FNL." At the very least, check out this new spot to see what you're missing

Get that celebrity look

Want to get Beyonce's smoky eyes or Kim Kardashian's lengthy lashes? We asked the experts who help get celebrities gorgeous just how they achieve a red carpet-worthy look, day and night.

Red Hot

Who says you can't break the rules? Combining a matte red lip and a swipe of eyeliner -- typically a makeup no-no -- results in an unexpectedly fresh-faced and appropriate-for-daytime look. Need proof? Just check out Cameron Diaz.

Get the Look

Prep skin with a tinted moisturizer. Go for a light-reflecting formula; it'll prevent the look from coming off flat. Or add a bit of shimmer cream to your tinted moisturizer for a subtle glow, says celebrity makeup artist Jessica Liebeskind, who has worked with Heidi Klum, Gretchen Mol and Olivia Palermo.

A thin application of liquid liner defines eyes. Trace the pen's tip along the lid, keeping super-tight to the lash line. Afraid of liquid? Try a creamy, budge-proof formula.

Highlight your kisser with a berry-red lipstick. The look can be classic with a matte finish. Or for a more daytime-appropriate approach, apply a sheer stain or gloss. Bonus: Blue-toned reds can make teeth appear whiter.
All About Eyes

Nothing says sexy like a smoky eye. Just ask Beyonce, who does sultry makeup like no one else. By pairing the heavily highlighted eye area with a sweet pink on her lips, she's saying, "I'm an approachable woman who is also in charge."

Get the Look

Go for purples. The look is more wearable and incredibly chic. Using a lavender cream shadow, sweep color from your lashes to the crease. Then, smudge a deeper-pigmented purple along the upper lashes. Extend the color out under the lower lashes.

Add definition. An application of mascara adds extra drama to the eye. "Look for formulas that say, ‘fullness' or ‘volume,'" says Liebeskind. "These lash enhancers will add to an overall smoldering appearance." Curl your lashes and swipe on three coats.

Offset the strength of the eyes with a pretty pink pout. Make sure your lips are healthy -- even the goopiest glosses can't hide chapped lips. Insider tip: Use a washcloth to exfoliate your kisser. Follow up with a generous dose of lip balm before swiping on gloss.
Day and Night

Let's face it, one of the best perks of being a girl is that we get to go glam. And sometimes, it's fun to pull it off day and night. Just look at Kim Kardashian, who goes super-bold with sexy lashes while keeping the rest of her makeup clean, striking the perfect balance.

Get the Look

A matte complexion provides the best canvas for all-out glamour. The key to looking fresh -- not cakey -- is mega-moisture, says Liebeskind, who suggests using a hydrant-rich foundation. Apply with a sponge for an even finish.

The trick to versatile makeup is flirty lashes. Create an arsenal with an eyelash curler, a heavy-duty mascara and individual false lashes. "For fuller lashes, place two falsies on the outer corners of your eyes," says Liebeskind. For more volume, sneak in two to three more per lid.

Slick on a light-reflecting gloss. A formula gloss that lets your natural lip color shine through looks sexy and understated, says Liebeskind.

Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian are Bill O’Reilly’s new targets

The reality TV star and the Canadian singing sensation recently posed together on the beach for an Elle magazine photoshoot.

O’Reilly joked that Kardashian is “42,” though she is actually 29. Also, the 16-year-old Bieber “looks like Ringo Starr” to the Fox news oldie.

O’Reilly thinks the pictures were inappropriate
Hand-in-hand, Kardashian and Bieber posed for the photos in the Bahamas, realizing little, they’d draw the ire of a 60-year-old news host.

“I just received the pics from the shoot and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out! Justin and I had such a fun time together at the shoot,” Kardashian wrote on her website, a few weeks ago.

Bill O’Reilly is all-opposed to their “fun” photoshoot. He thinks The Graduate/"Mrs. Robinson" themed pictures were inappropriate for a boy, who is still a teenager, and a sexy celebrity, who is much older to him.

"I will tell you this: If a 16-year-old girl was pictured with a 29-year-old man in any of that, he'd be in big trouble," said O’Reilly

What was HE doing at 16?
O’Reilly goes on the reveal that 44 years ago, when he was 16, he had much different ideas. More than four decades later, he is finding it hard to digest that someone the same age is doing more fun things.

“I wanted to be a baseball player [when I was 16],” he said. “I didn't want to hang around with Kim Kardashian...I had a baseball bat and a bat and [a pair of] ice skates! That's what I was doing.”

Republican strategist Margaret Hoover, also sided with O’Reilly in the segment, and said, “I think it's gross.”

He went on to describe it as “a 16 year-old having an affair with a celebutante!”

Double-standards?
Panelist Rebecca Diamond argued, “It's every sixteen-year-old male's dream to have pictures with Kim Kardashian.”

But O’Reilly had his own different take on the issue. He thinks the photoshoot indicated double-standards, and said, “I will tell you this: If a 16-year-old girl was pictured with a 29-year-old man in any of that, he'd be in big trouble.”

Kelly Osbourne strips for Pussycat Dolls' burlesque revue

Kelly Osbourne flaunted her fit frame in a racy song and dance performance on Wednesday night, taking the stage for a strip show with Robin Antin's burlesque troupe The Pussycat Dolls. (More photos here)

The reality TV star has slimmed down to a size two since her stint on TV competition "Dancing with the Stars." and celebrity choreographer Antin took notice of her new-found confidence.

Antin took to Twitter.com to post a sexy picture of the reality star as she arrived in a silver sequined micro mini dress ahead of the show at the Viper Room in Los Angeles on Wednesday, where she joined PCD Revue regular guest Carmen Electra for a sexy strip.

And her show looks like it may be headed to the big screen for the world to see. Recent reports suggest the event was filmed for Donovan Leitch's new documentary "Sunset Strip."

Kutcher slams tabloid over cheating story

LOS ANGELES — Ashton Kutcher and his legal team have taken aim at a tabloid after it published a cover story claiming he cheated on his wife, Demi Moore.
On Wednesday, the actor hit his Twitter account to lash out at Star magazine, which claimed in its latest issue that the celebrity couple's marriage "is in danger of falling apart" because the mag claimed the actor was allegedly "caught cheating with a sexy, young, 20-something."

"I think Star magazine calling me a "cheater" qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees," Ashton Tweeted on Wednesday.
"STAR magazine — you don't get to stand behind 'freedom of the press' when you are writing fiction," he added.

Ashton's wife, Demi, backed him up, reTweeting her husband and adding her two cents.

Miley Cyrus Gets Boozy, Stoned, and Sexy in 'LOL'

Teen queen Miley Cyrus, who has made a fortune with her Disney show Hannah Montana and countless tie-ins, including a 3D movie of a Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert tour, is going to show us she's not just another pop star from the Mouse House. After her turn in the soggy Nicholas Sparks movie The Last Song, she's since gone on to release a "racy" music video for her single "Can't Be Tamed," which features a woman with a bird cage on her head as a hat and Cyrus as a winged sexpot being held in a cage who breaks out and wreaks havoc in a museum.

Her next stop on the "Screw You, I'm a Grown-Up!" tour is the movie LOL (Laughing Out Loud), which is based on a French movie of the same name. Both movies were directed by Lisa Azuelos, who wrote the screenplay for the French version and co-wrote the screenplay for this adaptation. I haven't seen the original, so I don't know if it's any good. Have you?

HollywoodLife.com has apparently seen a copy of the script (and PopEater has a snap from the movie), and it reads a bit like Thirteen mixed with Showgirls. In the film, Cyrus "loses her virginity, talks about sex incessantly, smokes marijuana, kisses one of her two best female friends on the lips, gets wasted and accidentally shows her mom, Ann, (Demi Moore) her Brazilian wax."

Meanwhile, Moore is saddled with lines like, "You're my daughter... And I won't let you turn into a porn star!"

Some are comparing this stab at a bad girl makeover to Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and other Disney gals who went to their dark sides, but none of those gals had daddies like Billy Ray to make sure their achy-breaky hearts didn't stray too far from the fold. Is this all a family-approved move at making sure Cyrus stays relevant as she ages out of the Disney market? Is Cyrus talented enough to escape the long shadow of Hannah Montana?

Let's not forget that despite the unending legal and personal troubles, Lohan is actually a pretty good actress, and instead of reveling in the tabloid frenzy, some are actually hoping she'll eventually make a Robert Downey Jr.-like comeback. Does Cyrus have the chops to begin with -- or material that will give her the opportunity to show 'em off?

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS FRONTS A SEXY NEW AD CAMPAIGN FOR LONDON FOG!

CHRISTINA Hendricks is one sexy lady!
And to prove it, the Mad Men star is fronting the London Fog fall 2010 ad campaign!
“London Fog is a classic brand, which I love. It also ties into Mad Men, we used London Fog in the show and this was a nice way to tie everything together,” the Emmy-nominated actress says of the outerwear label.

“The trench is such an iconic shape for men and women. It works for anyone — it worked in the 1960s and it works now.”

“Christina has a modern appeal but also harks back to a bygone era,” adds the brand’s chief marketing officer, Dari Marder.

Shot by Nino Muñoz, the elegant black-and-white ads feature Hendricks posing seductively in London Fog coats and accessories, and are set to debut in October fashion and lifestyle magazines as well as outdoor and online.

Hendricks recently revealed her favorite thing about starring in Mad Men.

“I adore the incredibly tight clothing,” the actress, who plays Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce office manager Joan Harris in the hit show, told Britain’s GQ magazine.

“My own wardrobe’s changed — I’ve streamlined a little bit and definitely learned from Joan’s sleekness and tailoring.”

“Joan’s a dream to play — she’s not always prancing around the office. There’s that side to it, which is really fun, but there’s nitty-gritty,” she added.

“She’s what makes the workplace so fun — in a workplace that can be so dark and so much tension, Joan gives some levity.

“And the wonderful thing is she still has these darker moments among the fabulous highs.

“I just keep praying for Joan to get her power back. To resolve her problems and rise to the top. To fight back!”

Kim Kardashian: LAVO Party Girl

Starting the weekend with a night on the red carpet, Kim Kardashian attended the LAVO two-year anniversary party in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday (August 13).
Joined at The Palazzo Resort & Casino event by her PR pal Jonathan Cheban, the E! reality star looked stunning as she passed through the arrivals area before joining DJ vice in the deejay booth.
With fellow attendees including Molly Sims and Stephanie Pratt also on-hand, Kim tweeted during her fun-filled club visit, writing, "Wow playing Jodeci in the club. Lavo! Sexy!"
In related news, Kim has been drumming up interest in a charity auction being held by gal pal LaLa Vazquez - who is selling off a custom pink 2006 Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
With only hours left to bid on eBay, the current price from the hot SUV is sitting at $47,300.00.

Kara DioGuardi Found Out She Was Fired From Newspaper

How did Kara DioGuardi find out she was fired from American Idol?
"She read it the way you did and I did," her dad, Republican senate candidate Joe DioGuardi, tells Capital Tonight (via The Hollywood Reporter). "Would you believe she did not hear -- and still has not heard -- anything?"
PHOTOS: Love lives of American Idol stars
Fox has yet to confirm publicly the judge switchup, but multiple outlets began reporting the news on July 30.
Joe goes on, "Her disappointment is that that's the way she's being treated and she feels that's not proper. I think they're trying to create a lot of buzz... they're trying to reformat the thing."
PHOTOS: American Idol makeovers
Jennifer Lopez, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Jessica Simpson have all been rumored replacements for DioGuardi and Simon Cowell, who is leaving to launch the X-Factor in the U.S. See the top 10 celebrity bands.

Joe doesn't think his daughter, who has written songs for Britney Spears and Pink, will suffer career-wise.
"Kara has a very deep career in music. She'll be fine," Joe says. "Would she want to do it another year? I think so... I think at some point [she] will confront them on that."

Share This | Related Sexy Mom - Charisma Carpenter Poses in Bikini for 40th Birthday

Charisma Carpenter is still a sexy mom and displays her bikini body for celebrity magazine In Touch Weekly. "I ate lobster with butter and three slices of cake — I was really indulgent!" Charisma Carpenter told the weekly entertainment publication while celebrating her recent 40th birthday while promoting The Expendables at Comic-Con.

"I love food too much to not eat and I don't want to be the angry, hungry girl." Whether it's eating or working out in preparation for her In Touch bikini shoot, the actress, best known for playing Cordelia on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel says she "doesn't do anything half-ass."

The report adds her attitude is why she's turning 40 with a smile — and snagging a plum role in the summer's most eagerly awaited action movie, with an all-star dream team cast led by director/star Sylvester Stallone, helps.

"I want Hollywood and America to know 40 is not old," she says. "As my mom told me, 'Charisma, welcome to the best decade of your life, because not only do you look as good as you did when you were 23, but you're so much smarter.' I'm now better in every way: I've had years to hone my craft. I'm better at acting, I'm a better mom, I'm a better friend. I'm just a more confident woman. It's awesome!"

Sexy NY Jets debut 2010 Flight Crew vs. Sans cheerleader Giants

As the New York Giants go head-to-head with the Jets in their first preseason game, one has to wonder if Giants fans miss having hotties on the sidelines?

"The Giants do not have a cheerleading squad," writes the Giants'. "We have always felt that the game should be the focus of the day of game presentation."

Though business-like, prepping for a season sans cheerleader squad seems boring. While the Giants go without, the Jets fans are bracing themselves for the 2011 Flight Crew calendar and getting ready to preview what their girls have been working on in the off-season.

See how the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders stay sexy-in-shape here!

"I really look for girls who are reliable, responsible and organized in addition to being beautiful, smart and great dancers," Flight Crew coach Denise Garvey said in 2010 pre-audition interview.

"Come on, I'm an NFL cheerleader," said 22-year-old 2010 flight crew member Jasmine. "How great is that?"

Check out the pic slideshow of the girls below and the videos from 2010 Flight Crew / New York Jets cheerleader training camp...

Jessica Alba: Sexy Smoker

Having just made her way out to the east coast, Jessica Alba multi-tasked as she chatted on her cellphone and smoked a cigarette after doing some shopping in the SoHo district of New York City on Monday (August 16).

Not wanting to send the wrong message, the "Into the Blue" babe quickly tried to hide her smoke as soon as she spotted the paparazzi - as she's recently been smoking more and more with insiders blaming the pressures of Hollywood as the cause.

Also making sure to keep her fit and healthy appearance, Jess spent the weekend working up a sweat during the First Annual Rising Stars of America All-Star Kickball Game in Santa Monica, CA on Saturday.

Held for charity and spearheaded by NBA star Baron Davis, Jess tweeted after the fun-filled festivities, "Great event BD! Thanks for everything RT @Baron_Davis: Shoutout to @cash_warren winner of the 1st Rising Stars of America Kickball MVP the Golden Boot is yours for a year..."

Megan Fox becomes the face of Armani cosmetics

First of all she wins over the entire male population (and some of the female), then she gets asked by fashion powerhouse Armani to model their sexy underwear and now Megan Fox has been taken on as the face of Armani’s cosmetic range.
Megan has managed to dethrone supermodel Lara Stone after only a four month stint (oh that’s not like the fashion world to be fickle) and will start appearing in adverts for the super chic brand in October.

Meg Head said: “Mr. Armani is an iconic visionary for all things fashion. I’m honoured to be associated with him and part of this campaign.”

And the lovely people at Armani threw a compliment right back saying: “She embodies the spirit of the women of today: free, confident and seductive. Her beautiful features reveal femininity, sensuality and strength.”

Alright we get it she’s gorgeous.
Is Megan was the right choice to face such a major cosmetics campaign? Do you think she’s gorgeous or do you not really see what all the fuss is about? Comments please!

Sexy clothes sell for ovulating women

Without realizing it, ovulating women buy sexier clothes. That was the conclusion of new research from the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management. And, the analysis concludes, the ovulating subjects weren't trying to attract men; rather, they were trying to look better than the women around them.

Women at peak fertility unconsciously choose clothes and other items that enhance their appearance, according to Kristina Durante, a post-doctoral fellow at the Carlson School and co-author of the study. "If you look more desirable than your competition, you are more likely to stand out," the school quoted her as saying.

She added: "In order to entice a desirable mate, a woman needs to assess the attractiveness of other women in her local environment to determine how eye-catching she needs to be to snare a good man."

The study's researchers showed ovulating women photographs of attractive local women and asked them to choose clothing and accessory items to purchase.

Most of the women chose sexier products than those who had been shown photographs of unattractive local women or women who lived more than 1,000 miles away. Women who weren't ovulating didn't respond in kind.

According to Durante, the research has practical implications for marketers because ovulation may profoundly influence women's consumer behavior. In addition to clothing, the products included shoes, fashion accessories, cosmetics, health supplements, fitness products and medical procedures.

The research will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.

Weird Lindsay Lohan Fashion Shoot of the Day

Another day, another random Lindsay Lohan fashion photo shoot.

This "artsy" shoot features the alleged actress writhing, squatting and trying to be sexy to promote a clothing line by ... herself! It's the 6126 Fall Lookbook shoot!

It's unclear if anyone actually buys Lindsay's clothes, but good for her!

The photos are sort of cool, and sort of hot ... yet almost as funny as this video of her recent incarceration. Because it's Lindsay, it's hard to take her seriously.

Maybe that's us, though. What do you think of her 6126 line? Something you would wear? Check out (and click to enlarge) the Lindsay Lohan pics below:

Sonam Kapoor is Maxim India’s hottest girl this year

Mumbai: Bollywood’s delicate darling Sonam Kapoor, who’s best known for her impeccable fashion sense, has now won herself the much sought-after ‘hot’ tag. Believe it or not, but Sonam has scored over bombshells like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Bipasha Basu to become Maxim India’s hottest girl for this year.
Sonam, who looked simply gorgeous in her latest outing ‘Aisha’, is extremely ecstatic about topping the list.

“It’s really important to me. I like the words ‘hot’ and ‘sexy.’ It’s fun and at the same time, speaks about your sensuality, passion and depth,” Sonam told a news daily.

‘Maxim Hot 100’ list includes Amrita Rao, Anushka Sharma, Jacqueline Fernandez, and ‘Khatta Meetha’ actress Trisha Krishnan at 32nd, 24th, 35th and 93rd positions respectively.
The list also features some of the India’s leading models like Lisa Haydon, Esha Gupta and Maybelline face Diana Penty.

Talking to a news daily, Vivek Pareek, Editor, Maxim magazine, said, “It (list) has girls who have inspired men with their hotness and stood the test of swinging appreciation and mindsets.”

Magazines to Starlets: We Want You Naked

This month, Lindsay Lohan bared her body for Maxim magazine, Lady Gaga was naked on the cover of Vanity Fair, and Katy Perry went topless in Rolling Stone. They’re all young, attractive Hollywood pop princesses – so what’s the difference? Maxim is a men’s magazine in which flesh-flashing is the norm, while Vanity Fair, a high-end, fashion/politics publication, and Rolling Stone, the country's venerable rock music and pop culture chronicler, are not.

So has the decaying world of magazine publishing reached a point where all magazines are emulating Maxim and Playboy with sexy young women exposing themselves in order to attract consumers’ attention? Total combined subscription and single copy U.S. magazine sales in 2009 were down 6 percent from 2008, and at their lowest level since 1985, according to Magazine Publishers Association figures.

U.S. magazine sales at newsstands and other retail outlets also slipped in the first half of 2010, falling 5.6 percent to roughly 32.5 million in the January-June period.
“Magazines, struggling to stay afloat, do need to titillate a bit more than they normally have. They are desperate," media blog Adrants.com editor Steve Hall told Pop Tarts. “Sex sells. It always has. Whether or not it can save magazines though is unclear.”

The flesh fest doesn't stop ant Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone. Kim Kardashian graced the cover of high-fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar sans her clothes this summer, and newcomers Emmanuelle Chriqui, Colbie Caillat, and Kara DioGuardi bared all for beauty publication Allure's "nude issue."

“With the dwindling advertising dollars, the A-list Madison Ave magazines are looking to lure a younger 18-25 demographic, so it’s no surprise they use scantily clad ... stars,” said Hollywood image consultant Michael Sands. “The Internet is capturing the eyeballs of most people, so glossy magazines are just trying to survive in the marketplace.”

But perhaps it isn't the mainstream magazines' fault. If the young ladies want to be recognized for their artistic contributions long-term, might it be time they took responsibility and started saying no?

"You can blame the magazines for pushing these twenty something year old pop stars to bare their ‘T & A,’ or you can ask Katy Perry ... why she doesn't think she has anything else to offer viewers but her body?" said Associated Press pop culture reporter Natalie Rotman. “Magazines have always been pushing women to demean themselves because sex sells. Where are the women who know they are more than that, that their voice and talent are enough?”

But according to Hall, the likes of Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone can opt for the “sex sells” cover all they want, but eventually its what’s inside, and the state of the print industry, that will determine who wins and loses.

“Nudity is a temporary solution, without actual journalistic substance, it is all just window dressing,” he said. “Magazines are not dying. What’s dying is the form through which their content is delivered: ink printed on paper. While there is no reason these companies can’t adapt, many will fail because they will attempt to hang on to the old model longer than those who, more smartly, make the shift to digital.”

Stranger Proposes to Hills' Lauren Conrad

Probably not.
"I'm not someone who feels like a pressure to get into that," she told Access Hollywood last year. "I think that I'm still pretty young and I've got a while to do all I want to do. I think that when you have kids, it's all about them. So I think that I need to be selfish for a little bit and do it all about me."

Sexy swimwear and glamour gowns: Brisbane Fashion Festival off to a stylish start

A big, white tent erected on a patch of grass by the river hardly sounds glamorous.
But throw in scores of leggy models, fashion designers and a full orchestra of champagne flutes and the whole notion takes on a new sparkle.
The Brisbane Fashion Festival kicked off at the weekend, drawing a cacophony of hot labels and beautiful people to its deceptively sophisticated marquee on the Cultural Forecourt, South Bank.
Running until August 13, the festival encompasses a series of nightly group shows, free day parades and lectures and is perfectly timed to coincide with the Gallery of Modern Art's landmark Valentino Retrospective: Past, Present, Future.
Already off to a flying start, the festival enters its third day today with collections from a number of fresh designers and retailers set to power down the runway.
The onus is on the organisers to sustain the full-steam momentum from the opening weekend thanks to a couple of knock-out parades and high-profile guests.
Governor-General Quentin Bryce was present at last night's first group show, seated after a standing reception at the foot of the runway next to festival director Lindsay Bennett and Premier Anna Bligh.
A known fashion identity, Ms Bryce was a poised picture of pink and enjoyed new season looks from the likes of local designers Tengdhal and Pia Du Pradal – the latter counts Ms Bligh among her devoted clients.
Earlier that day, the unseasonably warm weather did little to aid the constitutions of patrons at sunny Brisbane's parade de rigueur, the ever-popular swimwear show.
Featuring a range of young labels, it was disappointing to see a few notable brands from festivals past were not present and male models totally absent, though Karen Nielsen's retro collection did hit a high note.
However, it was no match for Saturday night's grand opening parades.
Laden with local and national talent, each of the three group shows bragged a name worth watching and a high-profile press pack to match.
Menswear favourites Pistols at Dawn did not disappoint - their trademark take on masculine elegance a robust example of classic tailoring done fresh.
It was heartening to see more than a few of their immaculately suited clients turned out in support.
Equally exciting is the anticipation mounting around retail newcomer Richards & Richards, a two-level luxury menswear destination due to open shortly next to the new Hermès boutique on Edward Street in the CBD.
Showing a range of international labels such as Luigi Borrelli and Pal Zileri in their Saturday night parade, the new shop looks to be a boon for local men of discerning tastes (with wallets and lifestyle to match).
Of course, the fashion festival remains a largely female domain – a fact the program reflects.
Stand-outs so far include the marvellous fabrics and romance of Paul Hunt; George Wu and Akira for their remarkable vision and structure, Easton Pearson's signature verve and Lisa Ho's very clever neutrals.

Step into my office: Myleene Klass rocks the sexy secretary look

Ladies may want to take down some shorthand notes on how Myleene Klass has managed to master her latest look.
Because the former popstar appeared to be channelling a sexy secretary as she left studios on London's Southbank this morning.
The Norfolk-born beauty, 32, was wearing a pristine white summer mini dress, lashings of red lipstick, black-rimmed Fifties-style glasses and chunky blue and white satin bird print heels.
It's the second time in a week that Myleene has been spotted out sporting NHS-style specs.
The classical musician was seen out last week in some thinner-rimmed specimens, but today's milk bottle bottoms are for more Brains from Thunderbirds.
Rather than a briefcase however, the presenter carried a vast tan leather handbag, with a cheeky leopard print cardigan in case the weather took a turn for the worse.
However, the twist is, one will undergo the likes of plastic surgery and dentistry before their wardrobe is sorted out, whereas the other will have less-invasive procedures in a bid to roll back the years.
It will be Myleene's second series as the show's presenter. She took over from Nicky Hambleton-Jones amid rather ironic cries of ageism - Myleene is seven years younger than her predecessor - last year.
One of the faces of Marks And Spencer, Myleene is becoming quite the style queen nowadays following some dodgy outfits in her Hear'Say days.
She's also launched her own baby clothing range, inspired by her own daughter Ava, aged three.
Called BabyK, the range is for all tots aged up to three.
Perhaps Myleene will design another range for children as Ava gets older - or maybe even a collection for saucy office workers...

Katy Perry Covers Rolling Stone Magazine In Sexy Undies

Stripping down to nada is nothing new for Katy Perry, who bares it all while resting on a cotton candy cloud in the video for her scorching summer sizzler “California Gurls,” and on the cover of her upcoming album, Teenage Dream. But still, an almost-naked hot shot of the pop songstress can get tongues wagging.
Perry struts her seductive stuff in her undies on the cover of the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, shot by photographer Marc Seliger.
In the cover story, titled Sex, God & Katy Perry, Katy opens up about her super religious and super strict upbringing. “I wasn’t ever able to say I was ‘lucky’ because my mother would rather us say that we were blessed, and she also didn’t like that lucky sounded like Lucifer,” she told RS. “Deviled eggs were called ‘angelled’ eggs. I wasn’t allowed to eat Lucky Charms, but I think that was the sugar. I think my mom lied to me about that one.”
The magazine hits newsstands this week.

Anna Fermanova PHOTOS: 'Sexy' Latvian Beautician Busted For Trying To Smuggle Night-Vision Rifle Sights To Russia

Fresh off busting up the Russian spy ring that included bombshell Anna Chapman, authorities have apprehended another attractive young woman with ties to Russia, this time for allegedly trying to smuggle night-vision rifle sights to Russia without a license.

Anna Fermanova, a beautician by trade, had been caught with $15,000 worth of accessories in her luggage when she checked in for a Moscow-bound flight at New York's JFK International Airport in March, but was allowed to continue her journey after the items -- a $7,000 Raptor 4X Night Vision Weapons Sight and two other night-vision devices worth $4,000 each -- were confiscated.

The Latvian-born Fermanova, who was arrested July 15 after she returned from Russia, is said to split her time between Dallas and Moscow, where her husband lives. She told authorities she'd purchased the scopes online for her husband's hunting activities and was unaware of any legal issues pertaining to their transport.

Fermanova's glamorous appearance and trim figure have drawn inevitable comparisons to Chapman, who was deported back to Moscow earlier this month. And like that case, Fermanova's supporters have been quick to shrug off the "femme fatale" title. "She's a nice Jewish girl who lives with her sweet Latvian parents," her attorney Scott Palmer told the Daily News.

Still, like Chapman, Fermanova's Facebook page is littered with scintillating photos that show the blond sipping wine with girlfriends and posing on a beach in a bikini.

"She is quite sexy, you could say, but she is not a spy," Palmer told the Dallas Morning News. He also declined to reveal the identity of Fermanova's husband, but said he has been involved in investment banking as well as imports and exports.

Leona Lewis has a new sexy image

X Factor star Leona Lewis has decided to ditched her "nice girl" image, according to a recent report.

The usually strait-laced diva donned a more sexy look on a girls' night out at a London nightclub.

Sources told the Daily Star that Lewis, who recently split from long-term love Lou Al-Chamaa, asked to enter Whisky Mist by the back door to avoid attracting attention from the paparazzi.

However, the 25-year-old was informed that the venue staff would not give in to her diva demands and she had to enter through the front along with members of the public.

A source inside the venue told the newspaper: "Leona looked amazing in her tight black miniskirt, fishnets and massive quiff.

"She was really in the mood for letting her hair down and demanded she and her mates sat on the table next to The Wanted

"She was dancing and laughing and flirting with the boys, but she took a particular liking to Max George."

Vienna Poses In Sexy Bikini

The Bachelor winner Vienna Girardi got into the sexiest of bikinis for her visit to Disney World, and Radaronline.com has the photos for you. Jake Pavelka's former fiance' was visiting Mickey Mouse's home with her family, and took some time out of her trip to pose for photos at the Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.

It's a good thing she was in the water and couldn't make any phone calls, since as Radaronline.com recently reported she was denied the use of her old cell phone number by Jake.

He said he purchased the phone and opened the account for her when they were together. As Radaronline.com reported, on Monday Vienna called her wireless company, AT&T, in a final attempt to get control over the account. She was told that she needed Jake’s permission. AT&T then called Jake on Vienna’s behalf and received a flat no. Vienna eventually broke down and had to get a new phone number and wireless account.

Sexy Spice Still Quite Sexy

Today was Cartier’s International Polo Day in London, a celebration of the sport to which only people who are insanely wealthy, fabulous or royal are invited.
And as former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell is at least two of the three, of course she got in (her boyfriend Henry Beckwith is some kind of aristocrat, so three’s company!).
And, we have to say, she looks amazing — it takes guts and a killer body to wear Herve Leger and make it look good, and Halliwell looked like summery perfection, completing the look with gold Christian Louboutin slingbacks and a Louis Vuitton handbag bigger than her head.

Megan Fox Kisses Dominic Monaghan

No, newlywed Megan Fox isn't stepping out on new hubby Brian Austin Green.

It was just another day at the office for the Transformers beauty as she kissed Lost star Dominic Monaghan, and RadarOnline.com has the sexy shots for you.

The pair will appear together in the music video for Rihanna and Eminem's hit song The Way You Lie.

Lady Gaga bares claws, soul at Monster Ball

Lady Gaga is a freak -- in the oddest, craziest, fiercest sense of the word.

The pop superstar espoused "freedom and music" Sunday night inside Toyota Center, the first of two consecutive sold-out shows. (She'll be back for a third in April.)

"I didn't used to be brave. In fact, I was not brave at all," Gaga told her screaming, sweating fans, many of whom had been in line for hours in the Houston heat and humidity. (The floor area was general admission.)

"A lot of people didn't believe in me. But you have made me brave now. Little monsters make me brave."

Indeed, her show was equal parts pop showcase and roaring call-to-arms. (Seriously, she often ended her exclamations with guttural grunts and roars.) Gaga frequently championed GLBT causes, urged young fans to love their parents and promoted self-confidence (in a parade of outlandish costumes, of course).

Neon-lit phrases -- "Sexy Ugly," "Injured Children," "Death Cases" -- decorated her stage. The show was constructed around Gaga's journey to the Monster Ball, from stalled auto to subway car to Wizard of Oz-esque finale.

Musically, she moved easily through basic dance-pop, from Dance In the Dark and Just Dance to Beautiful Dirty Rich, Vanity and an electric Lovegame (dressed as a naughty, haute-couture nun). She was in strong voice, and her dancing has improved since being on the road.

There were, yes, shades of Madonna in the aggressive stance, the parade of androgynous, athletic dancers and the outfits. But Gaga is a wholly different creature. She's more sensitive and is more engaging with her crowd. At times, she seemed almost on the verge of tears.

"I promised myself when I got on this stage, I would be more grateful than she was," Gaga said -- likely an allusion to her pop predecessor.

She talked frequently between, and sometimes during, tunes. Piano opus Speechless was peppered with tales of her drunk, lovable parents. She called a hysterical fan on the phone and promised to meet with her after the show. She shouted out all the "Houston gay cowboys," asked if the crowd thought she was sexy and earned the requisite boos after mentioning Dallas. (BOO.)

Kim Kardashian obsession: Plastic surgery plans of one fan

With one of the Best Beach Bodies in the world, it is no wonder that women try to emulate the gorgeous Kim Kardashian. And while the sexy reality star is often flattered by some of the statements her loyal fans post on her Twitter page, Kim was recently alarmed by one fan's cosmetic surgery plans.

On Saturday, one of Kim's fans took obsession to a new level. A woman posted a bizarre tweet about plans to alter herself physically in an attempt to look more like the sexy socialite.

The woman stated: “I’m getting head to toe plastic surgery next week to look like @kimkardashian so my husband won’t leave me,” the woman wrote. “He worships @kimkardashian.”

Kim immediately responded with an emphatic, “NO.”

The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star continued with her plea to persuade the woman against going under the knife. “Pls don’t,” Kim continued. “Ur husband should love u 4 who u are! Don’t try 2 b someone else. Im sure u are beautiful inside &out! Just as u are.”

Kim tried to convince the woman that making such a huge change was not necessary. “Don’t change yourself for anybody but yourself…be happy with who u are! Someone will appreciate and adore u just as you are,” she concluded.

Hopefully Kim's words were persuasive enough to convince this young woman not to go under the knife.

Crazy, sexy, cool

Call it a week of mixed reviews. Even as Toronto endured jabs from a Niagara Parks Commission advertising campaign — portraying the city as rife with vandalism, noise and stress — it was hailed as “the new capital of cool” by a prominent U.S. website last week.

An article in The Huffington Post praised Canada's largest city for its multiculturalism, splendid outdoor festivals, gourmet food, and thriving arts and music scenes. “Toronto is the hot new destination for all things crazy, sexy, cool,” it concluded.

Just as we Torontonians may have reacted a tad too defensively to the Niagara ad campaign, we should also take care not to cheer too loudly for kudos from an American source. Some perspective is in order. Ad campaigns and brief travel articles can't truly capture the complex character of this city and what it has to offer.

Also bear in mind that The Huffington Post has been criticized for the trivial nature of some of its coverage. For example, alongside the story about Toronto, the website's travel section also included an article on wearing “flying pasties” to “protect your dignity in airport scanners,” and a listing of the world's top 14 nude beaches.

Through some inexcusable oversight, Toronto's Hanlan's Point wasn't among them.

Former Teen Star Tiffany Defends Miley Cyrus' "Sexy" Image

In her 80s heyday as a teen pop sensation, singer Tiffany favored acid-washed jeans, sneakers, long-sleeved shirts and not too much makeup.
But that doesn't mean that she disapproves of today's much less modest generation of singing teen stars -- especially Miley Cyrus, 17, who has worn cleavage-bearing dresses and skin-tight bodysuits, danced on stripper poles and simulated lesbian kisses on stage.

"Miley Cyrus is on a great track," Tiffany, now 38, told UsMagazine.com at Saturday's EW Comic-Con party at Hotel Solamar in San Diego.

"I know that there are a lot of people that say well when you are so young you shouldn't be sexy," the "I Think We're Alone Now" singer conceded.

"I think that in today's world you kind of have to be [sexy]-- to be competitive in the market," Tiffany told Us. "I think that she is doing it appropriately. And it's always a fine line there."

"But I'm a huge fan of hers. I think she's gonna have a long career," she gushed, adding praise to Cyrus' mom and dad, too. "Her parents are guiding her right, and it really matters what base you have around you. Very much so."

Although Tiffany stayed buttoned up during her teenage fame, she did pose nude for Playboy in 2002. She has a 17-year-old son, Elijah, from her first marriage, and has been married to second husband Benn George since 2004.

PHOTOS: Miley's fave look -- short shorts!

The 80s icon is attending Comic Con to help promote Mega Python vs. Gararoid -- the campy scifi flick in which she costars with her former rival Debbie Gibson.

"It was awesome!" she said. "We were always planning on doing something but I think people were expecting more of a musical… and it's not."

Although she and Gibson achieved pop success around the same time, the flick was their first time to bond. "I knew her, but we never really hung out...we have a fond respect for each other but I didn't know if we would end up being buddies."

"It's really nice to be able to say we are really good friends. Of course we always play up the cheeky side...we had the little catfight -- we were loving it!"
