Kate Gosselin, of “Jon and Kate Plus 8” fame, has been taking quite a hit from the gossip rags this month. Their marriage is starting to become the proverbial wrecked train.
Not-So-Nice Kate
First, Kate dodged questions about a supposed affair with her married bodyguard and watched her husband Jon get dragged through the tabloids for partying with a 23-year-old schoolteacher.
Blogs have reported on the fake aspects of “Jon and Kate Plus 8,” pointing out that Kate Gosselin has been doing more cooking and baking on her reality TV show. Conveniently, Kate is coming out with a cookbook in a couple of months with the saccharine-sweet title “Love Is In The Mix.”
But maybe it’s not. Jon Gosselin’s confession that family life is difficult and rumors of a upcoming Gosselin divorce aren’t exactly full of love cookies.
Kate’s even gotten teased for her new “volcano” hairstyle – flattened bob (of lava?) in the front and a spiky explosion of hair gel in the back. The producers of “Jon and Kate Plus 8” purportedly paid for the haircut, along with a tummy tuck, fake tan, and teeth whitening.
Kate insists that everyone wants her hairstyle and that her stylist gets calls from all over the country asking about it.
Really?

]]>Don’t you just love Liv Tyler…the hair, the skin. How does she get that skin? I thought to myself that she must use some fabulously hard to find and crazy expensive brand of cosmetics until I did a little research and found out about Mario Badescu.
- Liv swears by the drying lotion
Liv is a loyal client of the Mario Badescu skin care line and swears by their Drying Lotion (yes…even Liv Tyler gets pimples).
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Retails For About $17.00
So here’s the deal…the products are natural, quality, and get this….retail between $10.00 and $30.00 (wow). The list of celebrities who swear by the line is too long to mention, but just a few clients include Jennifer Anniston, Oprah, Kate Moss, Eva Longoria, and Natalie Portman. Also, they never test on animals…a must for the Hollywood set.
The product line is extensive and covers all skin types. The Botanical Body Soap, which retails for about $14.00 for a 16 ounce bottle, is made with all natural ingredients such as ginseng, papaya and grapefruit extracts.

I am loving this product line.

Recently, I have become increasingly annoyed at the rising cost of what, in my opinion, should be a simple necessity for all women….the handbag.
Of course I have done my share of purchasing back alley knock off purses…something I am not exactly proud of…but when you cant spend $30,000.00 on a Birkin…..well, you get inventive.
The Price Tag On This Birkin Made Me Run For The Knockoff Handbags
So I was out with my good friend Gablia the other night when I noticed her absolutely fab handbag. When I asked her where she had gotten it I expected her to mention a high-end boutique with an even higher-end price tag. Imagine my surprise when she smiled coyly and said “Baghaus baby.”
This L.A. based company is dedicated to bringing one of the most amazing collections of replica handbags in the style of Prada, Gucci, Coach and Louis Vuitton to the masses without asking you to put up a months rent in return. Don’t be fooled…this is not a collection of fake purses made with cheap leather and sold out of some guys trunk. Baghaus has excellent customer service, 30-day hassle free returns, a 110% price protection guarantee and all orders over $100.00 are shipped out for only $4.95.
The Andi Tote Retails For $57.00
Melie Bianco Braided Hobo $74.95
The site also offers a page called Celebrity Styles, where you can click on a photo of a celebrity holding a bag that probably cost more than my parents town-house, and get that same look on Baghaus.
Angelina With A Million Dollar Bag
Urban Expressions Braided Buckle Bag $50.00
Pretty fab…don’t you think? Seriously…who wouldn’t want to have this look?

]]>Now that I have the new silky hair, I thought I could use a new hair style.
So after hours of pouring over what felt like 50 pounds of hair style magazines and not finding a thing that I could picture on my fabulous head, I came across this…
The HairStyler.com is a service that takes your face and enables you to try on literally thousands of hairstyles…all while never leaving your computer. You simply submit a photo of yourself (make it one you like because you will be staring at it for hours) and then start trying on hair do after hair do.
For example..say you really wanted to see what you looked like with Alicia Silverstones hair? Or Brooke Shields? How about a wild Alanis Morissette do? Or a sexy blond Kate Winslet? Okay, what about Kate Gosselin’s hair. Everybody seems to be in tizzy over Kate’s hair. Personally I am not a huge fan but I like my locks long and lucious. I say try it out with the hairstyler and see what you think.
Now you can, for about $10.00 a month…which is much cheaper than my 50 pounds of hair style magazines. Plus they even give you styling tips on how to achieve each style, whether it’s high, medium, or low maintenance and what styling products work best.
This is fabulous….and best of all I got to look at myself for hours…my favorite thing to do.
Kisses,
VV
]]>In my search for everything beautiful and fabulous I wanted to share this video with you. Andrea shows us how to get a fabulous look…the 70’s hair really isn’t going anywhere is it?
To get that extra smoothness this is the BEST hair treatment….Read on to hear how it helped me get the Kim Kardashian hair that I have been desiring.
]]>
After some careful consideration I came to the conclusion the other day that I must…regardless of circumstances…have Kim Kardashian’s hair.
Kims Silky Hair Rocks
I know what you must be thinking…”She wants to actually have Kim Kardashians hair….like…she wants to possess it…that’s normal.” Yes, I did think of actually attempting to purchase said hair…but that would be weird…and possibly illegal. So instead I decided to set out to have Kim Kardashian-like hair.
Why, you ask? Well wouldn’t you…I mean…just look at it. Her long hair is silky, soft and incredibly shiny. But how does she get it? My own long hair is quite nice…but it just doesn’t have that….whats the word…Kim Kardashianess.
It’s a word now.
So I tried everything….egg whites…mayonnaise (on my hair)…some very expensive trips to the hair salon…nothing worked. Would I have to purchase a wig…get extensions…be myself?
No, I proclaimed…I was not going to give up…I was willing to search high and low…far and wide…even all the way to New Jersey….my bags were packed…passport at the ready.
And that’s when I found it. It’s called Celebrity Silky Hair.
Just Look At Lisa Kudrow's Sexy Long Hair
The geniuses at ISH have created a line of hair products that loads of celebrities are raving about, including Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Heather Graham, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alicia Silverstone, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.
I especially love the Ionic Rescue Pro…which is really a jar full of black crystals which are flat ironed onto the hair. The heat from the flatiron melts the crystals into the hair leaving behind shiny, healthy, silky celebrity hair that lasts up to 6 weeks.
Ionic Rescue Pro
Ionic Hair Conditioning is all the rage with celebrities, and no wonder…the finished product is perfectly round, healthy and shiny strands of hair….how to hair, if you will.
Search over…mission accomplished….hair now Celebrity Silky. And now perhaps even better than Kim Kardashians……

]]>I just had to come out of hiding for this one….
While I have to admire an individual for expressing their opinion, even though it is not the popular opinion…I just have to ask….
Did she really have to say it out loud?
Cause you know its on now…
And did Perez Hilton really have to resort to not only the “B” word, but also the rarely heard in polite society “C” word?
The only question now is who will win this one? My money is on Perez…but you never know.
Kisses,
VV
]]>I’m back…..
After a brief holiday hiatus, which included much partying…lots of food and other assorted naughty revelry…I have decided to grace you with my always fabulous presence.
And what a better way to do so than talk about this photo of a most fab looking Kelly Osbourne. Girlfriend has had some admittedly scary and disastrous fashion situations of late….but this….well….need I say more?
- Newly engaged Kelly Osbourne on the quickie Vegas wedding of Britlebutard Peaches Geldof
“I wouldn’t get married in Vegas. I have a touch of class, thank you. I feel sorry for Peaches. I feel like it was such an attention thing.”
It seems as if our little Kelly has grown up at last….cheers darling.
]]>How gorgeous is Kim Kardashian with the new bangs?
Kim Kardashian showed off her new “do” at a “Dancing With The Stars” party at Citrine in New York.
Love it K.K.
I love, love….but I am so tired of these two.
I know that Sam is supposed to be this cool, cutting edge D.J….but all I ever see is a chick who dresses like a dude and smokes like a chimney (really Sammy….bad image for the kiddies who want to be just like you…lay off the death sticks).
So now every time I need a little celebrity gossip fix I get this:
She doesn’t look cutting edge…she looks like a high teenage boy.
Maybe if they both walked around looking like this all the time:
It would be easier on all of us….
Thoughts?
