Indulgent Celebrity Vanity Table

MoochMan — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:05:30 +0000

What would go into an indulgent celebrity vanity table? I’m thinking a direct line to room service.

Tips From The Celebrities

Here are a few things that you need, according to well known celebrities, at your vanity table: in a nice frame, a picture of your favorite, old school movie star or your favorite picture of yourself all done up; a tray of fragrances; decorative holders for your makeup brushes; an ottoman or chair; divided storage drawers for hair and makeup accessories; soft white lighting through lamps or wall fixtures; a large mirror (or medium sized); and a simple desk or table.

These Are Absolutes

Be sure that the chair or stool upon which you sit is comfortable and cushiony, and will not promote a backache. Lighting is of the utmost importance. During the day if you can be by a window, natural light is preferable. For night time lighting, installing a dimmer switch on your lighting system is a great touch. A hardwood floor with a fun, washable or replaceable throw rug, in a secluded corner of a room is the best place to set up your own private makeup vanity. Above all else… Never build your vanity in a bathroom. Bacterial growth in and on make-up products is encouraged by the humid atmosphere.

Celebs Who Need a Seriously Good DWI Lawyer

MoochMan — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:56:44 +0000

Several people everyday seek the help of DWI lawyers. Driving While Intoxicated is not only dangerous, but it can get you into trouble as well. And today’s celebrities are turning to top lawyers to help them escape the fines.

All Types of Public Figures Get Arrested For DWIs

Interestingly, all types of public figures get arrested. Many people group intoxication to the music industry or to those who appear overly wild. However, many ordinary, hard working celebrities are often caught intoxicated and charged. This happened to Dick Cheney awhile back. He’s probably the last person you would imagine to be driving while intoxicated. Yet, records indicate he broke the law. It is unknown whether that is the reason his political career suffered.

Athletes Also Get DWIs

Another group of individuals who often get DWIs are athletes. This also seems odd given the need to stay healthy. However, too often, they let lose and have fun. Then, they get behind the wheel. On one occasion Mike Tyson was caught and charged for a DWI. It wasn’t a pretty sight – but neither was the bit off ear.

If you are a public figure, whether Justin Beiber or Julia Roberts, make sure to avoid getting a DWI and if you do, get a good DWI lawyer.

Jessica Simpson’s Skincare Tips

MoochMan — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 22:23:22 +0000

Jessica Simpson is one of the most beautiful women in the world and her beauty isn’t an accident or a result from expensive cosmetic surgery. Unlike other actresses and singers, she focuses a lot of her time and energy on proper skin care so she can maintain her looks as she grows older.

Cleanser

Since she was a teenager, Jessica has been avidly cleansing her face every night before going to bed. This step has helped to wash the makeup and oils off her skin after a long hard day on the set or stage and enabled her to keep a healthy, natural glow.

Moisturize

The next step in her skin care routine that she firmly stands behind is moisturizing. Jessica uses products that include natural moisturizer aids in them like Aloe Vera to help keep the moisture in her skin especially now, since she’s pregnant.

Skin Care Vitamins

Besides taking daily vitamins that help to keep her hair and nails strong, Jessica also takes regular Collagen supplements that contain amino acids. Collagen is an important product that our bodies need to maintain connective tissue health plus keep our bones healthy as well.

Proper Diet

Besides using the right products to maintain her skin, Jessica Simpson always makes sure to eat the right amounts of fruits, vegetables and drink at least eight glasses of water per day.

Best & Worst Celebrity Camel Toes – A Hoof Stomping Good Time!

CelebrityMooch — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 02:04:40 +0000

Ungulate:

1. Hoofed mammals such as camels, cattle, and swine. 2. Having hooves. 3. Resembling hooves; hooflike.

There are numerous breeds and ages of celebrity ungulates that roam throughout the concrete jungles of Los Angeles and New York.

Wildlife can be beautiful, but it can also be filled with horrible cruelty. Life in the concrete jungles can be tough for these pampered creatures. Enjoy the wildlife!

Kate Beckinsale is a vivacious ungulate with wide open plains in front of her. She'll be stomping that hoof for a long time to come!

Ashanti is a fighting ungulate. Here we see her using her defensive posture. Flapping her arms and thrusting her hoof forward in an attempt to scare off predators.

Britney Spears is a naive ungulate. Paying no attention to her surroundings, leaving her hoof completely exposed for attack.

Brooke Hogan is a fearless ungulate. Prancing her hoof all about while spewing guttural sounds to all who will listen.

Heidi Klum is an alpha ungulate. Strong and fierce, she stands amongst her herd with hoof ready to attack.

Jessica Simpson is a cautious ungulate. Here we see her pulling on her blue hoof holder, making certain her hoof is snuggly protected from the elements.

Miley Cyrus is a young ungulate just beginning to explore the grazing grounds. In the wild, young ungulates are forced to grow up quickly. Even though not yet fully developed, Miley is proudly displaying her hoof and position in the celebrity herd.

Mischa Barton is a battered but not beaten ungulate. Although her hoof has clearly been trampled, she some how manages the strength to limp through the concrete jungle.

Pamela Anderson was once an ungulate of great beauty, whose hoof glistened in the sunshine. These days it takes an army of personal hoof assistants to get her hoof to shine for even the briefest moment. It's definitely time to set this ungulate out to pasture.

Paris Hilton is a dim witted ungulate that has over exposed her hoof on numerous occasions. Most ungulates shy away from the predators of the concrete jungle, but this celebrity ungulate repeatedly taunts them with her hoof.

Rebecca Romjin is a captured ungulate. This graphic image shows Rebecca's hoof being spot lighted by ungulate hunters. It is clear that her hoof has been netted.

Linda Carter is a rarely seen species of the ungulate family (scientific name Wonderous Womanous). Dawning a sleek blue coat this tough and hearty ungulate revels in showing off it's powerful blue hoof. It's clear this hoof was made for stomping!

Most Outrageous Celebrity Homes

MoochMan — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 20:49:03 +0000

Some of the most outrageous celebrity homes contain the most extreme color combinations and decor styles imaginable. This idiosyncratic tendency that celebrities have when it comes to their homes is part of what makes them so fascinating to the rest of us, who live within plain white walls and simple chrome fixtures in our bathrooms. Because celebrities have more money than they know what to do with, they don't constrain themselves when choosing furniture, curtains, or any other domestic furnishings they want to adorn their home. Glamorizing their abodes is just one of the many ways celebrities distinguish themselves from their celebrity friends and some of them really take it to the extreme, especially those celebrities we expect to live in wildly decorated homes.

Heavy Metal Homes

Probably some of the most outrageous celebrity homes belong to those who play in heavy metal rock bands such as Korn, Marilyn Manson and Pantera. Manson is rumored to have a large bathroom complete with a hot tub, purple-painted walls and black velvet drapes embroidered with red roses and silver pentagrams. In addition, his "playroom" is supposed to contain a complete state-of-the-art recording studio decorated with solid gold albums hanging against a background of dramatic purple and black walls. Korn's bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu has a sunken living room that boasts paintings of scary clowns, a fireplace that resembles a tombstone, and Egyptian wall tapestries. People have also reported his bedroom is painted a deep metallic blue color with a lighting system that simulates stars twinkling in a clear midnight sky.

Over the Years

While celebrities have come and gone over the years, their houses have remained ostentatious, captivating and object of everyone's curiosity. Celebrity homes have been known to be decorated with paint that contains actual gold flakes, along with paint that reflect colors specially created for the celebrity. Past and present celebrities don't consider it outrageous to possess such furnishings as a hand-crafted copper tub ($70,000); 24-carat gold-leaf mosaic flooring ($100,000); luxury big-screen televisions encrusted with diamonds to produce a starry appearance ($90,000); and a hand-created Portuguese hardwood convex mirror with gold finish ($50,000).

The list of self-indulgent and sometimes gratuitous home furnishings which celebrities purchase is endless. However, with a little ingenuity and research, non-celebrities such as you and I could probably produce.

Rikers Island: Jailhouse to the Stars

MoochMan — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:30:32 +0000

Riders Island has been home to many celebrity inmates. That's not surprising, given the sheer number of people who live in New York City, but the names of the famous and the nature of their experiences are etched into Riker's Island lore. Bear in mind that these were famous people who found themselves on the business end of the legal systems. Whatever the outcome of their cases, they had more to work with than an underpaid, exhausted public defender.

The Power of Privilege

One of the more recent high-profile tenants at New York City's main jail complex was rapper/artist Dwayne Carter - better known as Li'l Wayne. Convicted of a gun charge, he was remanded to Rikers Island to serve an eight-month sentence. He may not have enjoyed the perks of privilege, but he certainly received them. A Village Voice article reported that Carter had food brought into him from restaurants, that he was allowed longer visitation periods and that jail staff tipped him off as to searches so he would not be caught with such innocuous contraband as an mp3 player and headphones.

From Football to the Big House

Another fallen star that came through Rikers Island was New York Giants football player Plaxico Burress, who was sentenced to a two-year term after shooting himself in the leg with his own Glock while partying at a Midtown nightclub. Only there for a one-night stay on his way to Ulster Correctional Facility, Burress was subjected to obscenities and derision by Rikers Island's hard-bitten inmates. "He was depressed," a guard told the New York Post. "He was trying to keep to himself, but everyone was yelling at him."

Foxy Brown has been a guest, and Tupac Shakur also took up residence there, but the most infamous and tragic figure to have been housed at Rikers Island was punk-rock star Sid Vicious, bassist of the Sex Pistols. He spent 55 days at the complex while awaiting trial for the death of his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. The day after he was released on bond, he died of a heroin overdose, joining his lover in the afterlife.

“The Biggest Loser”- America’s Favorite Weight Loss Challenge

MoochMan — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 20:51:14 +0000

How did they do it? How did NBC get America hooked on a show about morbidly obese people? I mean really, who needs that? Apparently, we do.

Is Watching T.B.L. Morally Uplifting?

Watching those poor, unfortunate souls struggle through excruciating challenges, being away from their families, giving up their favorite foods… ugh; it’s just too much. Then you grow to really like one of them, only to have that person voted off. Come on, Alison, step in there and stop the madness. The happy endings are, of course, the best. Who didn’t absolutely love the Season 10 Finale? There wasn’t a dry eye in my living room when Patrick won. It was heart wrenching enough when all the contestants got together and gave him the car. You had to feel for the guy; a great family, lost his job, weight out of control, it was a true Cinderella story.

Or, is Watching T.B.L. Like Driving Past a Car Accident? You Have to Look.

It happens all the time; you’re driving down the street and on the side of the road is a car accident. Even if you are faint of heart, what do you do? You slow down and practically break your neck, or get into an accident yourself, trying to see the gore. It’s not that you want to see someone’s head rolling across the asphalt, you just can’t help it. Maybe watching these huge contestants is like that. You can’t not look!

Personally, I know that I feel uplifted at the end of each show, and that it’s helped a lot of people who ordinarily might not have taken the initiative to get out there and do something about their weight. Bob and Jillian (though I hear she’s leaving, and that will take a lot of the goodness out of the show for me) have inspired generations of overweight Americans. Thanks guys. We love you for it.

The Future of Rafael Benitez

MoochMan — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 03:46:33 +0000

Former Liverpool and Inter Milan football coach Rafael Benitez has had a long and storied career, and it's not likely to be over anytime soon. The fiery Benitez (known as "Rafa") may have a reputation for being difficult to deal with, but the results on the field cannot be argued with - his Inter Milan team, after all, won the FIFA Club World Cup shortly before he was dismissed.

An Impressive Resume

Players respect Benitez for myriad reasons. Foremost is the fact that he was a player, a midfielder on two Italian football clubs. Consider, too, that his tirades have always been directed at the club's manager in defense of the players he has on the team. The fact that he's a proven winner doesn't hurt when it comes to getting a response out of well-paid grown men with egos as big as their paychecks. While he may not be the warmest and fuzziest man on the sidelines, his calm demeanor and tactical prowess have given the players what they really want - victories.

Time Off

Right now Rafael Benitez enjoys being a husband and father. At the relatively young age of 50, he certainly has the energy and passion to coach football again. WIth the revolving-door nature of European football coaches, he's bound to get another chance, even if some owners may not appreciate his willingness to stand up for himself. Fluent in Italian, Spanish and English, "Rafa" can both read and write the ticket to his next destination.

If European bookies are to be believed, it will be in Spain, but his return to his Liverpool home has England abuzz with rumors of a Benitez comeback. At this point in time, all of his options make perfectly good sense.

Don’t Let a Hideous Mole Keep You From Being Fabulous

MoochMan — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 19:21:46 +0000

You’ve probably got at least one mole or know someone who has. I, myself, have several as well as a few freckles. These types of spots and skin irregularities are perfectly normal. Many people are born with them and many more will develop them over their lifetime. The only way that they can become a health concern is if they show signs of growth or change—an evolving mole can be one of the first recognizable signs of skin cancer. Most moles will never change, however, instead they will simply be a part of you. They, like your blue eyes, will simply render you unique and attractive.

What Are Moles?

Moles, which are actually clusters of pigment producing skin cells that are normally spread through the dermis, are a common skin marker. The ones that you are born with are known as congenital nevi. They occur in about one in one hundred people. The type to watch out for are dysplastic nevi, which are irregular in shape and larger than average. These moles are much more likely to develop into a melanoma and should be watched for that reason. Still most moles are not dangerous and either way, there are ways for you to deal with them.

Treating Moles

If you find that you would like to get rid of your moles, either because of health concerns or for cosmetic reasons, all you need to do is talk to your dermatologist. Commonly, skin moles that become a problem for any reason are simply removed. It is a very basic and safe procedure and if you have any concerns about cancer, then you can have the mole biopsied either before or after complete removal. That way, you will know for sure whether or not it is a danger to your health.
