Does Jennifer Aniston drop $8,000 a month on beauty treatments?

Daily Mail has a story today about Jennifer Aniston’s beauty regimen, claiming the actress spends a whopping $8,000 a month on beauty products and treatments. I don’t think I necessarily doubt she would spend that much. If I had Jennifer’s money – I might be tempted to spent unreasonable amounts of money on products as well! If you had that kind of money – wouldn’t you stay on top of your skin with all the tools available?

Another thing…. Jen looks amazing, so whatever she’s doing – she should keep on doing it!

Hollywood’s golden girl, Jennifer Aniston, is envied by millions for her perfectly sun-kissed glow, toned body and shiny locks and now we know how much it costs. The Wanderlust star, 43, reportedly spends $8000 a month on lotions and potions, her dietary regime and her exercise schedule in order to maintain her flawless appearance.

On skincare alone, the bronzed beauty is estimated to invest in the region of $2000 monthly. Aside from the ‘horrifying’ peel that Aniston says leaves her looking like a ‘battered burn victim’ for a week, the actress indulges in soothing treatments and creams.

One neck ointment she uses, by beauty brand Euoko, is allegedly made with crystals from the planet Mars and costs $450 while she regularly splurges on Tracie Martyn Spa Red Carpet Facials that cost over $500.

On leaving the New York spa, she reportedly takes home a $390 goodie bag of products. To offset the expense of her extravagant facials, Aniston washes her face with a cheap Neutrogena Facial Cleansing Bar and moisturizes daily with comparatively affordable Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream for around $40. But she makes sure she stays young and wrinkle free with Mila Moursi Rejuvinating Serum for $350.

Her private yoga sessions with trainer and best friend Mandy Ingber set her back nearly $900 a week for three hours of stretching and cardio.

Of her rigorous workouts, Aniston has gushed in the past: ‘I feel like I am getting a meditation, a workout and time with my friend, all rolled into one hour.’

And let’s not forget Aniston’s dietician, Carrie Watt, whose consultation fees and home delivery service total around $680 a week. For the girl-next-door look, $8000 seems like a lot of money to spend but if anyone has a wallet deep enough to pay for it, it is Jennifer Aniston.

I don’t get why they’re making such a big deal about it, really. Who cares?

Leighton Meester looking gorgeous in April’s Marie Claire

Leighton Meester covers Marie Claire’s April issue. The interview that follows is incredibly interesting!

Meester is one of those rare children born with both full-blown ambition and the determination to avoid even the slightest derailment, Meester has been aiming at big game since grade school. Part of this is a rejoinder to circumstance. Meester’s mother, Constance, gave birth to her while serving federal prison time for drug trafficking. Meester was not, she has oft clarified, born in jail. She was delivered in a hospital, then transferred to a halfway house for three months, after which she was sent to live with her grandmother until Constance’s release. Her father, Doug, also served time for drug-related offenses. He and Constance would later divorce. The difficult facts of her childhood provided Meester with matchless perspective. Also, an ineffaceable blueprint of what not to do.

On her childhood:

“My family has a crazy history,” she acknowledges. “Probably the craziest I’ve heard of.”

But it was not, she is quick to point out, Dickensian in its misery. “I look back now and I see it in a nice light,” Meester says of her youth in Marco Island, Florida. “It wasn’t uncomplicated. But I played outside. I went to the beach. There were happy, fun times.”

Meester, like many hard-knock kids, has little use for self-pity. “You can take what is handed to you and use it as an excuse to mess up. But I’ve always handled what was given to me by life. I consider myself lucky. I was never lied to. And I was loved.”

When Meester was 10, she attended a modeling convention in Atlanta during her Christmas break. An agent snapped her up on sight and took her to New York City. “I ended up staying. I never went back to Florida,” she explains. “That was that.”

She lived with her mother in dodgy rentals in the West Village, then in Inwood, at the northernmost tip of Manhattan. Meester booked commercials for Bloomingdale’s, Stern’s, the Limited Too. She flourished under pressure.

“I worked a lot, even though I was just a kid. It seemed normal to me,” she shrugs.

When Leighton was 14, she left New York for Los Angeles, to pursue acting. She took acting classes alongside adults, not other children. ”I couldn’t relate to kid stuff. ‘Jimmy doesn’t like me!’ Who cares? I was worried we didn’t have gas money or food. Those were my concerns.”

She was determined to be successful. She opted to work – over having a boyfriend, or attending prom.  ”It was a lot of money for a ticket. And I just didn’t care that much,” she says.

“When you see how you react when you suffer,” she explains, “that’s when you know what you are made of.”

For several years, she was a prolific bit player, landing gigs on Law & Order, House, 24, and Entourage. The game changer came in 2006, when she landed Gossip Girl, an audacious, soapy drama adapted from the series of young-adult novels about the salacious lives of spoiled New York City prep schoolers. The show, a breakout hit, is now in its fifth season.

Meester is broadening her scope to film. This summer, she will appear in the Adam Sandler comedy That’s My Boy, in which she plays a neurotic bride who “starts out sweet, then gets crazier and crazier.” It is a familiar refrain. From her spoiled Machiavellian princess in Gossip Girl to the upstart underminer in Country Strong to the sapphic stalker in The Roommate, Meester specializes in elevating unsavory women above the “crazy bitch” stereotype. She doesn’t play the girl you love to hate. She does something far trickier: She makes you love the hateable girl. A quicksilver hybrid of Sharon Stone and Drew Barrymore, Meester has created something entirely new: the beyotch with a heart of gold.

Jennifer Lopez on the cover of Vogue Magazine, the “Shape Issue”!

Jennifer Love Hewitt strips down for the ‘Girls of the 90′s’ cover of Maxim!

Jennifer Love Hewitt graces the cover of April’s Maxim Magazine, the “Girls of the 90′s” issue. She looks amazing!

Gracing the cover of PEOPLE’s 2011 Hottest Bodies issue, Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared confident baring her cleavage in a colorful two-piece bathing suit. And the self-assurance she has when it comes to those body parts is no act, she says.

“It’s horrible to say, but I like my boobs,” Hewitt, 33, tells Maxim in its April cover story when asked what body part she is most proud of. “They’ve always served me well. They’re good.”

The svelte star also admits to doing something else to get in tune with her feminine side: pole dancing. Hewitt, who will play a prostitute on Lifetime’s The Client List series, says, “It’s a great way to get in touch with your sexuality. I also love to cook, so I can have a cake in the oven while I do a pole dance.”

But lately, the currently single starlet says there doesn’t seem to be anyone to watch her sexy moves.

“It might sound so stupid, but guys do not hit on me,” she notes. “I’m not really sure why.”

I liked the interview until the last line. “It might sound so stupid, but guys do not hit on me,” she notes. “I’m not really sure why.” It does sound stupid. Maybe guys don’t hit on you – because you’re the kind of girl who already has three engagement rings on hold at Tiffany’s.

Anyway, these photos are hot! She looks great!

Mila Kunis on Botox in Harper’s Bazaar: “I will not put a needle in my body unless I have a medical reason”

Mila Kunis graces the April cover of Harper’s Bazaar (US), and here are the pictures from the shoot which was shot by Terry Richardson. What do you think about the photos? I think she’s adorable, love them!

Here are some clips from the interview:

On Black Swan and how it changed her career: “I honestly thought, ‘This is going to be a Darren Aronofsky movie. Maybe people will see it, maybe they won’t.’ I didn’t for one second think, ‘I’m making a movie about ballerinas. People are gonna run to see this.’” Before Black Swan, “I had anonymity,” she says. “Right now, not nearly as much.”

Immigrating from the Ukraine at seven, speaking not a word of English: “We came with nothing, and my parents had to work for everything,” she recalls. “The easygoing aspect of me comes from the fact that when you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.”

Her parents don’t approve: “If it was up to my parents, I would have never done this,” she says of acting, “but now I’m 28, so what can they do?”

Does she make friends easily? “No. It’s hard to open up to people because often they’re more curious than they actually care about you.”

Is she more paranoid now? “Yes. Incredibly.”

Her phone wasn’t hacked: “No, my e-mail that hasn’t been valid in over three years was hacked. They got a photo of me. I’m not naked or anything. I was covered in bubbles, eating.”

How she safeguards: “Well, I don’t send naked photos.” Then she laughs. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Mila emerged from Hackergate unscathed, unlike fellow actress Scarlett Johansson, who was allegedly a victim of the same culprit. “The sad thing is, she shouldn’t even have to explain who it’s for,” Mila says.

On dating: “I don’t get asked out. This past year, I haven’t been home, so who’s going to ask me?”

Macaulay Culkin: Her last serious boyfriend was Macaulay Culkin, whom she dated for eight years, until 2010. “It was fantastic,” she says. “I mean, I honestly think being single’s great. Being in a relationship’s great. It’s all about the timing. I loved it.”

She’s not a wild girl: “I don’t go out very often. I prefer to stay home and have a nice little beverage and watch television.” She cooks too. “I can make anything out of leftovers. I want to be a judge on Top Chef.” She works out with a trainer three times a week, mostly because that enables her to keep eating and drinking. “My glass of wine and I are besties.”

Gaining weight, post Black Swan: After her drastic weight loss for Black Swan (20 pounds off her already lean frame), Mila notes that her body “has never been the same. My shape is different. When I got down to 95 pounds, I was muscles, like a little brick house, but skin and bones. When I gained it back, it went to completely different areas.” Like the rear? “No, I’d be happy if my ass got bigger. All the weight that left my chest went to my side hip, my stomach.” She’s wary of another role that would require a body transformation. “I’m not going to say I’d look forward to it, but if an offer came along, I’d do it.”

Her style icons: “I’ve always been a fan of Kate Winslet. She’s very classy and a sexy little thing too. Victoria Beckham — she’s very confident in whatever she wears. Oh, and Cate Blanchett,” she says. “Obviously.”

Aging: “I will not put a needle in my body unless I have a medical reason,” she says, “but ask me in 10 years. Right now, I’m like, ‘I’m going to embrace it,’ but … I’m probably going to want to have something done. I have no doubt.”

Stereotypes: “People have interpretations of what you’re supposed to be like,” she says. “If you’re unattractive and overweight, you must have a great personality. If you’re attractive, then you must not be the nicest person. People are always taken aback that I’m easygoing but not necessarily stupid.”

I really like Mila. I think she’s really cute, and I think she’s a good actress. I think she comes across really well in interviews. I never saw ‘Friends With Benefits’, her movie with Justin Timberlake. Was it good?

Olivia Wilde opens up about being “very sexually mature at a very young age” in the new GQ

Olivia Wilde is definitely one of Hollywood’s “it” girls right now. The sexy 27-year-old actress covers the British version of GQ for April, and in the magazine she opens up about her sexuality.

The ‘Cowboys and Aliens’ actress is currently dating ‘SNL’ comedian Jason Sudekis, but she’s also already been married and divorced. She married Tao Ruspoli when she was only 18. Tao was an Italian prince!

Speaking to the April issue of GQ she admitted that she was far too young to be settled down but admits that she was mature for her age when it came to sex.

She said: ‘I was very sexually mature at a very young age.

‘I was very comfortable with it and talking about it, and once someone hears a young woman speak candidly about sexuality, it’s like, ‘Whoa!’ You get labelled.’

Despite her confidence the In Time star was desolate after her marriage to Tao ended.

She said: ‘I thought I was going to die young. It was a pretty juvenile mind set.’

She added: ‘When you split with someone you love you think you’re the only person who has ever gone through it, ‘Oh did you listen to the National on repeat and live on Marlboro Lights and chocolate for three months? Me too!”

Although the end of the relationship was a sad time for the Cowboys & Aliens actor, she has remained friends with her ex and the pair are on good terms.

She said: ‘But I was lucky to have such a peaceful parting. It’s never easy: it’s f****d up and I wouldn’t recommend it.

‘But there were no kids involved, so we could see it as this wonderful chapter. And anyway, you fall in love again. Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.’

The divorce has provided Olivia with an idea for a movie script and she believes that there is room in Hollywood for another romantic comedy based on a break-up.

She said: ‘I actually think the subject of a young divorce is pretty funny; I’d like to write a movie about it. Can you imagine a young couple fighting over Ikea furniture?’

I really like her. I think she’s beautiful, and I think she’ll have a great future in Hollywood. Plus – she’s so stinking beautiful!

Kate Moss goes topless again in new magazine photo

Is it just me, or does Kate Moss get naked a lot in the name of modeling?

This time around, the shoot’s for a “special edition ” of AnOther mag’s spring/summer 2012 issue , features Kate posing topless in black and white while wearing clothes by famed McQueen designer Sarah Burton, although, we’re not sure who’s really looking at the clothes.

Moss has racked up some controversial covers lately, posing as a demon for the March issue of W, and honestly, even her steamy nude photos in the 2012 Pirelli calendar weren’t exactly shocking. We’re almost more surprised when Kate poses with her shirt on.
