I am really loving the DDPYoga system, the videos are not too long and very results driven. Tried my first Red Hot Core workout and man does it get your abs shaking.  I love that I can pace myself and alter the moves to my current fitness level while working toward my goal.

I can’t wait to see Gangster Squad! The movie looks great, Sean Penn makes the perfect bad guy and Emma and Ryan together again! Sign me up. Check out how to get Emma’s gorgeous hair from her LA Premiere of Gangster Squad.

SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL STYLIST MARA ROSZAK COIFS EMMA STONE FOR THE GANGSTER SQUAD PREMIERE IN LOS ANGELES

On Monday, January 7th at the Gangster Squad premiere held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, Emma Stone looked feminine chic in a sweetheart-shaped red Lanvin dress complemented by a clean, shoulder-length cut and blunt fringe, crafted by celebrity stylist Mara Roszak.

To achieve Emma’s modern hair look, follow Mara’s tips:

• Wash the hair with Sebastian Professional Trilliance Shampoo and Conditioner and apply Clairol Professional Volume Mousse to the lengths of towel-dried hair.
• Blow-dry the hair with a round brush. Once dried, use Velcro rollers all over to add movement and volume to the hair.
• Let the Velcro rollers sit for a few minutes and pull them out. Gently brush the hair, making sure to maintain the bend at the ends.
• Rub a drop of Sebastian Professional Liquid Gloss in palms and apply to hair to tame flyaways and add a luxurious shine.
• Finish with Sebastian Professional Shaper Hairspray to keep the hair in place.

Courteney Cox is 48-years-old, and hotter than ever!

The ‘Cougar Town’ actress opens up in the new anti-aging magazine New You, about the help she gets in staying young looking. “You know what, I’m game for anything. I’m very open to trying to prolong the inevitable. I’m a big laser believer I really think they are the wave of the future. I just did Ulthera which is supposed to produce collagen. And I’m about to do Fraxel, which will get rid of all these brown spots off my arms, chest and face.”

Despite the gorgeous, orchestrated shots of the polished Cox she feels most beautiful stripped of the glitz and glamour.

‘I feel the best after I’ve worked out, when I have no make-up on and my skin is flushed,’ said the raven-haired stunner.

‘There’s so many beautiful people and there’s so much pressure you put on yourself but David [Arquette, her ex-husband] has always said to me, you’ve got to accept we’re all gonna age and just do it gracefully. And the sooner you accept, the easier your life is.’

One major tip from the mother-of-one is moisturizing and drinking a lot of water: ‘I don’t drink near enough. I’m on this kick where I’m gonna try to drink 64 ounces a day. It’s so hard. I can get the first 32 down, no problem. That second bottle is tough but when I do, I feel different.’

And while Courteney is in awe of great Hollywood beauties like Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor, it’s Helen Mirren that really impressed her.

Cox said: ‘She’s so sexy. You know when people say you get better with age, that’s the perfect example. She’s just a bad ass in every way. She could rival the most gorgeous 30 year old. She’s just so confident, and let’s face it, it’s always about confidence.’

And confidence will definitely be required of the Scream star for her fourth season of Cougar Town – dubbed ‘the year of cleavage’ – airing on TBS this Tuesday.

‘In one episode, Jules and her new husband Grayson [Josh Hopkins] have “Naked Day,”‘ Courteney announced at the winter Television Critics Association press tour.

‘It’s a way to keep their marriage fresh….There will be not one scene where you won’t see my boobs. I want to start taking the focus away from my face, so I’m having them move it down. I figure as I continue to get older, eventually I will be fully nude. I hope it works.’

Her character’s onscreen husband has also been Courteney’s rumoured boyfriend since 2011 after the affectionate pair were spotted taking three tropical holidays together.

She looks great, and maybe now we know why! Lasers and cream and wonder serum! (Hell, I’d do the same thing if I ended up stopping the hands of time, like she has!)

‘Teen Mom’ star Farrah Abraham has a serious problem. The young mother is under fire today after a blog post she wrote about her three-year-old daughter’s unibrow. Isn’t that awful?

“So here I am faced with a standout historical moment in motherhood when I can confirm to myself that my little, adorable,most cuddle-able cutie, baby girl has a Unibrow,” she writes of daughter Sophia on her Sulia blog.

“I felt bad for her so I told sophia of the little issue on her brow, and I showed her how I waxed mine off, so I tryed [sic] to wax her,” Farrah continues.

But then, “the second a dab hit the Uni, she touch it with the towel she had in her hand. UHHH so now, wax was in the towel, and I yanked it back ASAP, but fuzz was not stuck to the wax stuck to her Uni,” Abrams writes. “OMG moment, So now sophia was freaking out, so I had to act like it was a cool science project to get the wax off.”

So what did she do then? Well, the only thing she could, naturally. She tweezed her daughter while she slept. ”I got my tweezers and Pluck-pluck-pluck,” says Abrahms. “The next morning I showed her and told her how well she did and she didn’t even know, She was more intrigued now to be ok with upkeeping her non-unibrow. I could tell she was proud.”

She finished the blog post by saying, “Ah I feel like a good mom:)”

Commentors on the post didn’t agree with the “good mom” sentiment.  ”Is this a joke? You attempted to wax your THREE YEAR OLD’S unibrow?! And then proceeded to tweeze it? Wow. Now that is parenting at its finest,” wrote one.

“You are teaching a three year old that there is something wrong with her. You should be raising up your child’s self esteem not beating it down, she will have enough people in her life do that,” posted another.

I think this is one of the more awful things I’ve read when it comes to these Teen Mom’s. How AWFUL, how unbelievably horrible that she would try and wax her three-year-old daughter’s eyebrows. This really disgusts me.

Heidi Klum lands the February cover of Marie Claire, and she looks more beautiful than ever! In the interview, she opened up about Project Runway, her children, her divorce from Seal, sex and more. What she didn’t talk about was her new boyfriend, ex-bodyguard Martin Kirsten.

Heidi’s fantasy guest judge for Project Runway: Michelle Obama – “I don’t think we’ve ever had a first lady who is as cool and fashion-oriented as she is.”

On her mom, Erna: “She told me, ‘Don’t ever depend on a man,’” Klum says. “So I started making a living for myself when I was 18.”

A funny quote from Michael Kors, on filming the show with Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia: “After going through three pregnancies with Heidi and two with Nina, I know more about maternity life than any man gay or straight has a right to. I am so ticklish that Heidi once chased me around the runway chairs, jumped on me, and startled me, at which point I fainted – what man wouldn’t?”

Heidi on her divorce from Seal: “People say, ‘Oh, God, how devastating to go through a divorce. Did I wish for this to happen to my family? No. But everyone is healthy; we’re moving on with our lives. If someone got [very sick], God forbid, that would be a real problem. It’s not what I wanted – it’s not what anyone wanted – but it’s not a real problem.”

Heidi on sex: “Some people are more experimental in bed and others are more boring. If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while. It’s good to make an effort to dress up sometimes, to do things outside of the norm.”

Heidi’s not interested in being a cougar: “I can understand why a woman finds a young man attractive, because the truth is that when men get older, their shape changes. Younger men train more, and when the clothes come off, it is nice to look at a sexy, ripped body. But I am realistic. I’m turning 40 next year; I don’t think I could deal with waking up next to a 25-year-old.”

On the idea of marrying again: “I don’t think so. No. No. I wanted to keep the memory of our wedding alive every year, that’s why I thought it would be fun to get married over and over. But now I don’t think it’s that important. I’m not angry about anything, but I don’t think I will. Maybe if I’m with someone for 15 or 20 years, and we do it in our old age as a fun thing to do…But I don’t have the urgency anymore.”

How people reacted to her first pregnancy: What others classify as problematic, Klum simply doesn’t. When she was 30 and pregnant by Italian race car magnate Flavio Briatore, her handlers were “freaking out,” saying, “I don’t know how the fashion industry will take you back after this.” For Klum, abortion wasn’t an option, and she walked the Victoria’s Secret runway show at four months along, with no one the wiser. “I thought, This is what is happening, and I’m going to embrace it,” she says. “I will figure it out, whatever comes my way.”

I loved the interview. I think she comes off as really interesting and intelligent. I like her quotes on divorce, and marrying again. It does seem like she really has her priorities in line.

An 8-months-pregnant Claire Danes glows on the cover of ELLE February, on newsstands nationwide January 15^th. In the issue, she opens up about being a working mother, her relationship with husband Hugh Dancy, and even meeting President Obama.

On waiting to have children:

“I’ve always wanted to have kids, but I’m glad I didn’t until now. When I was thinking about [working and being a mother] originally, I was really nervous about it…I think I would make a lousy stay-at-home mom. It just wouldn’t suit me. I feel so fortunate, in that I’ve had this arrow-straight focus…that I wanted to act.”

On her relationship with husband Hugh Dancy:

“Hugh was just the right partner for me. I got very, very lucky. There’s only so much credit you can take when it just sort of works, you know? And obviously we work hard at maintaining our relationship – that is central to both our lives – but at the same time, it’s just this kind of ease that I can’t really account for.”

On meeting President Obama (a fan of Homeland) with her husband Hugh at the White House Correspondent’s dinner:

“Hugh was like, ‘We have to meet Obama,’ and we walked over before we could think and found ourselves shaking hands with him.  Hugh realized that he’d forgotten to actually properly introduce himself, and [President Obama] was like, ‘And you are?’ And Hugh was like, ‘I’m sorry, Mr. President.’  I said, ‘I’m Claire Danes,’ and he said, ‘Oh, you’re a fine actress.’ And I said, ‘You’re a fine president!’  And he said, ‘Oh, you’re a finer actress than I am president.’ I didn’t have any retort.  Hugh and I went immediately to the bar and had a big shot of vodka.”

On teenagers growing up in Hollywood today:

“When I was younger, I was a little bit more restless, but there weren’t as many eyes. There weren’t as many tabloids or the number of cameras that everyone’s armed with. I feel huge sympathy for teenagers who have suddenly found themselves as public figures now, because it just sucks for them.”

Since the interview, 33-year-old Claire gave birth to her first child, son Cyrus Michael Christopher.
