He Did It!

Tweet

Splash News Online

Well, it happened. According to People.com, he took her back! You remember the whole cheating scandal with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and the married director. As you can see in the photo, she is all over him. I mean, who wouldn't? However, I would have waited a bit longer before I started acting like that in public. Of course, I don't know if he too acts that way when no one is around, but this photo makes her look clingy.

It can't be easy for him having the world knowing his business. Him knowing that some people, and even some of his friends think he's stupid for taking her back. Being followed everywhere by paps like rabid dogs for that photo of the first signs of trouble.

Time will tell whether they will survive and the wounds will heal, or if he gives up and dumps her. As they say, once a cheater always a cheater. Personally, I don't believe that's the case with everyone. Who knows, maybe their relationship is in the small percentage of those who survive after cheating happens. Look at Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

He's So Hot!

Sharing this video, it gave me a good laugh. Ellen Degeneres had Liam Neeson strip to his undies in support of Breast Cancer Research. One of the audience member was selected to participate. She was so excited, lol. Very nice of him to do this. I wish that I had seen the whole episode. I am a fan of Liam Neeson. I find him to be so HOT and such a great actor. One of his movies, The Grey is streaming on Netflix. Great movie... Enjoy!♥

Get The Same Look For Less!

Most women these days want to look like a celebrity. I mean, let's face it, celebrities are everywhere, pushing products and clothing everyday. Whatever they wear most of us want to wear it. However, not everyone can spend thousands of dollars to look like a celebrity. Some of us have to make do with what we can afford, right? Just because something costs more it doesn't mean that it's a better product. That's not always the case.

I can't afford to buy high end cosmetics or clothes, so I choose a few things that I think should be of higher quality. I have oily skin, so I feel I should spend a bit more on my foundation, blush and one or two good makeup brushes like the ones from Bh Cosmetics. The rest I purchase at the drugstore, at least for now. I read and watch video reviews on products I plan to buy ahead of time to make sure that it's worth the money. Although some stores let you exchange/return products.

If you take a look at this infographic below, you can see how much celebrities spend to look the way they look. Wow! Although for some, no matter how much they spend, it really doesn't make a difference because of their lifestyles, if you know what I mean. I read about the makeup styles. I think I'm either type 4 or 5, which is either Selena Gomez or Beyonce's look. I tend to do the type 5 look without eyeliner during warm to hot weather, or if I'm in a rush. During colder weather, I wear a bit of more makeup because it doesn't melt off my face in an hour. Check out the rest below, there are 6 in total. You will also find beauty tips from two former supermodels. What fruits and veggies would make your skin look better and more. Great tips if you ask me!

Embrace Latin Color!

Las Fabulosas: Beauty & Style

By Belén Aranda-Alvarado for Las Fabulosas

Spring is bursting on the scene in styles that look like they were taken from the most fashionable Latina’s closet. We spoke to Davis Carrasquillo, the New York City-based creative director and fashion editor of 1fashionproductions  to get our top picks of the bold, the ultra-feminine and the sexy staples that came from the runway.

Citrus
Citrus colors are the powerhouse trend, a favorite of ours because it makes bronzed skin look even more beautiful. The purest way to wear this trend is with a dress, like Selena Gomez does. For a budget-conscious option, try a blouse or simple tank in a saturated hue to put a pop of color in your look.

Bangles
Bracelets are accessory must-haves for lots of Latinas, and as Eva Longoria shows, bangles are back in a big way. “Use lots of different tones and textures -- they don’t have to match,” advises Carrasquillo.

’70s-inspired
No need to go over-the-top with frosty eyeshadow and frizzy hair. But if you are in the mood to really embrace a spring trend, then get yourself into some ’70s-inspired clothes, like one-sleeved tops and dresses. Jennifer Lopez gives us a great update with this beautiful dress that also brings in an additional seasonal trend: animal prints.

Ruffles
Ruffles are back on the scene, not just because of the flirty, youthful flare, but because now they are being styled in a grown, sexy way. You can go all-out like America Ferrara with her cape sleeves, or select a key piece, such as a skirt, to experiment with this look. Soft ruffles are more forgiving and flattering.

Shorts
Break out the heels and platform sandals if you are brave enough to try the shorts trend. The styles can range from super-short and casual, a lá Cameron Diaz, or longer and tailored for a work-appropriate look.

Patterns
These were also reigning the runway, but in softer chiffon fabrics that are easier to wear. Chiffon dresses are one option, says Carrasquillo, but even using a scarf can update your look.

Kristen, Kristen...

Kristen nena, what have you done? By now most of you have heard about the cheating scandal between Kristen Stewart (22) and the director Rupert Sanders (41). I was really surprised when I heard about this. I thought, WTF? I mean, I know I'm being a total cougar here, but who would want to cheat on Robert Pattinson? He's so hot looking! He just has a mystery to him. Those eyes, esa boca!

I thought Kristen and Robert would stay together for another year or two and he would break up with her or both of them would get bored of each other. I didn't know she is 22 years old and Robert 26. Now I can better understand them being together for such a long time. They started dating when she was about 19 years old, according to the news. Most men love that, the idea that their girlfriend is still somehow pure because they haven't been with anyone else or with many partners. She's pure no more. He said he didn't understand why people cheat so you know he's really hurting and it will be for a while.

Why on earth would this man think that no one would find out about this is beyond me. Although not everyone would recognize him, everyone would recognize her. She's everywhere! I thought they did this while they were out of the country, but no, they were in Los Angeles! She could be his daughter. He must have wooed her pretty good for her to fall for him. I mean, she has Robert Pattinson for a boyfriend, coño! Maybe she has daddy issues or was in need of a self esteem boost, who the fuck knows.

She apologized publicly, but judging by the latest news that Robert Pattinson moved out of the house they were sharing, you know it is most likely over. She had a good thing going and she fucked it up royally. One thing is to cheat, but to cheat with a married man with children makes it even worse. If Kristen was desperate to ditch the good girl image this definitely will help her on that department. She's going to be branded a home wrecker if Sanders gets a divorce. That could help her career or tank it. Then again this is Hollywood we are talking about. Look at Angelina Jolie. I wonder how the Twilight honchos are feeling about all of this. The fairy tale is no longer there, and I know I will be thinking about this when I watch the movie. I don't think it will hurt the movie though, fans will show up for Robert no matter what. Plus people like drama. 

With fans calling her names do you think she will show up for the opening of the movie event? Eh, by then someone else will be in the spotlight with a new scandal. Perhaps the Jackson Family? 

Somewhere Katy Holmes is jumping for joy because thanks to Kristen, the paps will leave her alone for a while...

Katy Perry's Music Video - Wide Awake

Tweet

So if you remember my last post where I posted music videos, I mentioned that I needed a graphic card to be able to enjoy videos on HD. Well, I finally bought one and boy what a difference! I tested it with Katy Perry's latest video. I don't get tired of watching it. I love it! I so can relate to this song, another one dedicated to her ex-husband even though she says is not of course. My favorite part of the video is when she's in the wheelchair and the little girl moves the guys out of the way. I like the whimsical tone it has, then again that's Katy's style... 

Of course with my luck my happiness was short-lived after I noticed they had sent me the wrong card. I was pissed as hell (this is my first time ordering from that site), but I had decided to keep it. Then the person I spoke to when I called to let them know of their mistake, told me that it was best to return it. That they would send me the correct one. Good customer service or they don't want a bad review. So, once again I will be without a graphic card for about 2-5 days. You are probably thinking so what? Well, after using my computer with a graphic card, being able to watch Netflix, it's going to be hard to go back to my slow PC. It sucks having to wait, coño! Reason why I hardly ever order from the internet.

Anyway, check out the video. What do you think?

Shakira & Rihanna's Latest Music Videos!

Tweet

These are the latest music videos from Shakira (Addicted To You) and Rihanna (Where Have You Been). I love both videos/songs! Great songs to dance to. Shakira is looking better than ever. Love how sexy she looks without looking slutty, if you know what I mean. The outfit with the polka dots blouse, love it! One of the lyrics, Quiero que te dejes querer. For some reason I find that lyric sexy as hell, lol. Am I  the only one who finds it sexy?

Rihanna's video is completely different. Great video as usual. She almost never disappoints with her videos. She changes looks a few times which is one of the things I like. The dancing is hot, I wish I could see it on TV to enjoy it fully. My pc graphics card sucks, so I can't see it in full HD. Oh, one thing I noticed, she lost some weight. She's looking a little bit too thin. I don't mean to criticize, but she's never been one to look really thin, so I was surprised...

Both videos ROCK!

Jennifer Lopez & Madonna's Latest Music Videos.

Tweet

Here are the latest videos of Jennifer López and Madonna. I like both videos but can't say I love them. As you can see Jennifer López made the mistake of putting her boyfriend in one of her videos again. After the Ben Affleck mess (they were everywhere, overexposed), you would think she wouldn't do it again. Guess not. I can't look at them without thinking he could be her son. Uy. I like the beat of the song but the lyrics are bad. Meh.

Madonna's video, I like it and I also like the song (great song to dance to), but I could have done without the oversexed up video. You might say I'm an old lady for not loving it, but after seeing her work over the years, including the Sex book, I want to see something different. Not the same thing over and over again. After a while it just gets, meh.

You be the judge.

Spotlight on JoAnna Garcia Swisher.

Las Fabulosas: Success

By Shirley Velásquez for Las Fabulosas


JoAnna Garcia Swisher’s star is rising. Landing the top role in an upcoming comedy pilot, the actress will lead a primetime show once again.

The Florida-born Latina got her first big break in high school when she was cast on Nickelodeon’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” Ever since then, she has starred in hit shows, such as “Reba,” “Privileged” and “Gossip Girl.” But it was playing Mia Putney, the lead in the hit comedy “Better With You,” that secured her place as a young comedic actress to watch.

If the 32-year-old’s work accomplishments impress, then her off-camera efforts inspire. Last June, Garcia Swisher teamed up with Merck to launch the Let’s Go There campaign, an initiative to encourage women to talk to their doctors about birth control options. “As the daughter of an OB/GYN, I learned from an early age the importance of educating myself to better understand my health options,” said Garcia Swisher last summer.

To top it off, last Thanksgiving, Garcia Swisher and her husband -- New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher -- finally took their overdue honeymoon (they married in December 2010) to Afghanistan. But this wasn’t just an adventurous trip to a rugged country. They were there to cheer on the troops. “I think we had about eight different Thanksgiving meals,” said Garcia Swisher afterward. “We’ve made friends for a lifetime.”

Katy Perry Music Video - Part Of Me

Tweet

This is the latest music video from Katy Perry. I love this song a lot. I so can relate! Although she says she wrote it before she met Russell Brand (her ex-husband) it sounds like she wrote it just for him. Who knows. I did the same thing she did in the video for the army, after I separated from my first husband. Problem was, I needed to loose 30 pounds, lol. I never lost the weight and I'm glad I didn't at the time. My poor kids would've had to stay with my mother. She treated them like shit while I was going to school, imagine if I had to be away for months at a time. Dios sabe lo que hace!

Anyway, check out the video. It is very empowering, at least for me it is! My thoughts and prayers to all the women/men who risk their lives daily for this country. What do you think? Do you like the video?

I know this video has been out for some time but I just saw it last night for the first time and I love it! I watched it three times, brought back some good memories. The ending was a surprise though. It just hit one billion views on Vevo. They posted it on Google+, that's how I found it. This song plays a lot on the radio so I basically sing it everyday while I'm cooking. Not that I can sing, but it gives me joy to screech like a banshee.

Las Fabulosas: Beauty & Style

By Valeria Guston for Las Fabulosas


You don’t need to spend a fortune or hire a team of professionals to get your favorite celeb’s signature style. Looking like a star is all about confidence and attitude ... and of course, great hair and makeup. Here are some tips to make your skin glow like JLo’s as you arch a perfectly sculpted brow à la Camilla Belle.

JLo’s Glow
No matter what’s going on in her personal life, Jennifer Lopez always looks effortlessly radiant. The key to achieving her fabulous glow is a pared-down makeup palette and lots of shimmery highlights. Think luminous drama and lots of metallics. Go for gold, silver or neutral eye shadows and a soft nude lip color. Complete your look with an all-over luminizer to infuse your skin with a golden sheen.

Nicole’s Boho Glam
With her House of Harlow 1960 and Winter Kate fashion and accessory lines, we all have a backstage pass to Nicole Richie’s luxurious -- but easygoing and incredibly wearable -- style. Her cool boho look is all about mastering the art of done/undone. Start with a romantic ’do with face-framing tendrils and create foolproof smoldering eyes. Look for a 2-in-1 smoky eye stick that can shade and line, and is smudge proof.

Sofia’s Sexy Cat Eye
Sofia Vergara oozes flirty sex-kitten appeal. You can bring out your inner vixen by using a liquid liner to create a subtle cat-eye. Add a few extra coats of volumizing mascara so everyone takes note when you bat your lashes. Choose a soft pink, glossy lip color if you’re feeling coquettish, or vamp it up with a rich crimson.

Eva’s Ladylike Sophistication
With strong features, a put-together ladylike style and sleek retro waves, Eva Mendes always exudes old-school Hollywood glamour with a thoroughly modern edge. To achieve Eva’s polished perfection, keep your hair in top condition with a deep-moisturizing treatment. Tame the flyaways and get great shine with a smoothing cream.

Camilla’s Killer Brows
Camilla Belle’s fresh, modern style -- bold, perfectly sculpted brows and red lips -- makes her a standout on any red carpet. With careful tweezing and a little strategic eyebrow pencil, you’ll be a standout too. Look for a brow-shaping kit that makes this a snap, even for the tweezing-challenged.

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol in IMAX!

Tweet

If you are like me, the bigger the explosions the better the movie! Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol gives you that and more. Great casting (Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner) great acting and a great story. Something that is very hard to do after a trilogy. Sure, you may have great casting and great acting but the story most of the time sucks. Not this time! 

You have the chance to see Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol in bigger than life size, in IMAX theaters. The movie is showing in 300 IMAX theaters across the country. Prior to the wide release on December 21 and it will continue throughout the movie's run at the box office. You will get approximately 30 minutes of footage filmed with IMAX cameras! Can you imagine how amazing that is going to look? You will even get to see the first previews of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises! That's a great bonus.

To check out the trailer with the director's (Brad Bird) commentary go here. Click here (a PDF file) for the listing of the IMAX Theaters showing Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Make sure you like the IMAX Facebook page to keep up with all the GOOD stuff IMAX has to offer!

Lady Gaga's Marry The Night Music Video!

Tweet

I love this video! To be honest, I didn't wanted it to end! It was like watching a movie. IMO, this is one of Lady Gaga's best music video yet. I just wish the part when the video hits 12:37 where you can see her leaving the apartment, the bathroom scene, was a bit slower. It changes too quickly between scenes. Yes, I paused those parts because I wanted to see everything, lol. According to her interview about the video, it's based on parts of her life. I often forget she's only 24-25 years old, she looks like she's in her 30's because of all the make up she wears. Although lately she has been wearing less. 


Anyway, if you haven't seen it here it is. What do you think?

3 Sneaky New Online Scams to Avoid.

Tweet

Every Day Connected: Shop

From the Editors of Every Day Connected

Most of us can recognize a shady email or Facebook post when we see one. I mean, how many of us actually know a Nigerian prince, right?

But hackers are pulling fresh tricks to dupe us into parting with our money or privacy. In the past four months alone, instances of malware on mobile phones have doubled, making smartphones a hotbed for wrongdoers. And according to the Federal Trade Commission, 9 million Americans lose their identity to hackers every year.

Don’t want to become a stat? Here are the three new online scams and how to avoid them:


Online Scam: Your Dating Match Is Actually a Fraud.

The scenario: You’re in search of cuties on Internet dating sites when you meet a handsome U.S. Army serviceman stationed in Iraq. The guy is friendly and open about the war and his post-battle dreams. Best of all, he has a hot mug. What starts as a mere flirtation grows into a deep, personal relationship … in which your new man is comfortable enough to ask you to lend him some money.

How it works: That guy may not be an actual serviceman, but a scammer hoping to work his way from you heart to your wallet. The Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID) has been notified of this scam hundreds of times in the past six months. The CID says the scammers assume the identity of real-life soldiers, coupling their names and ranks with photos of other soldiers found online. Sometimes, the scammers paint the Army as a downtrodden entity, in which soldiers need pay for Internet connections, leave papers, medical treatment, special laptops, international telephones or a flight home from Iraq or Afghanistan.

How to steer clear: Army CID spokesperson Chris Grey says that the Army has plenty of support programs for soldiers overseas and that an actual soldier would not be making such monetary requests. The CID warns women to be suspicious of the following:

• Anyone claiming to be a soldier, proposing marriage and asking for financial help early in a new relationship -- especially if it’s someone you haven’t met in person.
• A new soldier boyfriend claiming that the Army won’t allow him to access his bank accounts or credit cards.
• Suspect postal addresses. Soldiers serving overseas usually have an APO or FPO mailing address. Don’t send money to a third party or company.

If you think you’re talking with someone who is impersonating a soldier, report the incident to the Internet Crime Complaint Center and the Federal Trade Commission.

Online Scam: A Simple Celeb Search Brings You Viruses.

The scenario: You search online for your favorite celebs, whether it’s to get the latest dirt or find out just how they maintain their bikini bods. Harmless, right? Until your screen freezes and your computer gets slow.

How it works: This latest online scam plants viruses on PCs when gossip seekers search for stars online. Heidi Klum is currently the most dicey celebrity to search on the Web. Searches of “free downloads,” “videos” or “screensavers” coupled with her name stand a 1-in-10 chance of installing malware on otherwise clean PCs.

How to steer clear: Install an antivirus and antispyware program on your computer and devices. Limit widespread Google searches for sexy celeb pics. Instead, search within a well-known Hollywood blog, like PerezHilton.com or OMG.Yahoo.com.

Online Scam: Your New Favorite App Isn’t an App at All.

The scenario: You just discovered a new addictive game on your phone or downloaded a beautiful wallpaper. Best of all, it’s free! But then you get your phone bill and … whoosh! There goes $1,000. How did this happen?!

How it works: What you really downloaded was a dangerous program in disguise that sends unauthorized texts from your phone and racks up your phone bill. Equally common is a program with which hackers steal your personal information, compromising your identity. Last year, an estimated 4.6 million Android users downloaded a seemingly innocent Star Wars and My Little Pony branded wallpapers to their phones, which collected and sent user data, like subscriber identification and phone numbers, to a site in China.

How to steer clear: Always download your apps from a trusted source, like the iTunes store or the Android Marketplace. Apple and Google have a tough process for accepting new apps, and they police their stores for malware problems.

Lady Gaga's Holiday Workshop At Barneys!

Tweet

By now you probably have heard that Lady Gaga opened a Holiday workshop at Barneys in New York, where you can find all kinds of Gaga stuff. I heard about it just last night when I saw part of the interview on Nightline. It looks very colorful, whimsical and very Lady Gaga! You will find from cosmetics to accessories to cookies/lollipops and toys. I love the stuffed monster set! If you would like to see the merchandise click here. The site is very fun to navigate. You can even make an avatar a la Lady Gaga. 

This stuff is not cheap of course. For instance Gaga's press on nails cost $45. Yes, you heard that right, but if you can afford it why not! I would buy a few things if I could. The most expensive items are some of her jewelry and some of her clothing (Leather jackets). Nice thing is that with every sale of any item from Lady Gaga's workshop, 25% will go to the Lady Gaga's Born this Way Foundation. 

I have never been to Barney's but I might just pass by to go inside Lady Gaga's workshop or at least look at the windows, lol. Yes, I am a FAN of Lady Gaga. No, I'm not embarrassed to say it! Viva, Lady Gaga, coño!

Below you can see videos of the event, a timelapse of the workshop and a message from Lady Gaga for her workshop.
