Celebrity Hairstylist Sherri Jessee Shows Us How To Wear Bangs and Look Fabulous!

Posted: 04 Jan 2012 02:03 PM PST

Courtesy of Celebrity hairstylist Sherri Jessee of Sherri Jessee Salon

Bangs can completely change the proportion of your face. A perfectly planned fringe has the power to take you from blah to beautiful. Bangs A.K.A. Fringe can completely change the look of a hair cut. Sick of the same ol’ style? Longing for a change but don’t want to lose your length? Go to your professional stylist for a “cutting consultation” and find what type of fringe will get you the most bang for your buck.

1. Dramatic Blunt Bangs are perfect for longer face shapes as they help balance the proportion. As an added bonus, they also are a great way to accentuate your eyes because the solid line draws attention directly to them! Just look how these blunt bangs draw your attention directly toward Taylor’s dramatic eyes.

2. Asymmetrical Fringe can soften a square shaped face. This is a second example of the transforming power of bangs. To see this for yourself, draw a square on a piece of paper. Next, draw a diagonal line across the center of it to form two triangles… this is exactly what an asymmetrical fringe will do for a square face cutting it in half and softening the shape. Diana Argon looks soft and sexy with her soft fringe.

3. Textured Bangs are a great option can spice up an edgy shape to make more it feminine. Your stylist can cut in jagged lines with lots of movement with a razor, texturizing scissors or with precise point cutting. Addiing pizzaz to a pixie, Renee Zelweger looks super cute sporting textured bangs.

4. Side Swept Bangs are the most versatile and look great on all face shapes and with all textures of hair. Bangs swept to the side are soft and romantic and a wonderful way to add interest to longer hair. Fringe softly swept to the side softens Cameron Diaz’s square face and draws attention to her baby blues.

On a side note, once you get your bangs, most stylists will trim up fringe complimentary between haircuts to keep them in perfect position. Just give a call in advance to confirm availability.

Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:40 AM PST

Well, well, well…FINALLY!!! This hot Hollywood couple decided to get engaged over the Holidays. YAY! Two of our favorite people. Justin Timberlake proposed to longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel while in Jackson, Wyo.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake make it official!

“Justin knows how much she loves snowboarding and the mountains, so it was the perfect place,” a source told BSW of the year-end proposal. Insiders said Timberlake, 30, has “never been happier” than he is now with Biel, 29. “He knew it was the right time to propose.”

Although they did break up for three months at the beginning of the 2011, this hot ‘Hollywood couple’ have been dating since 2007. When they reunited they had a conversation about taking the next step,” a source said of their relationship.

In June, Timberlake said about his then-ex Biel that she was “the single-handedly most significant person in my life. “In my 30 years, she is the most special person, O.K.? …I don't want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me — for instance, her.”

Congrats!!! We wish you two the best…

Ryan Gosling introduces Eva Mendes to his mother during holiday weekend in New York

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 03:53 PM PST

Eva Mendes kicked off the New Year by winning over Ryan Gosling's mother.

The actress, who began dating Gosling after the two co-starred in the film "The Place Beyond the Pines" this past summer, met up with the mother-son duo Sunday after they were spotted spending some quality time together in New York.

“They all hung out and went to the movies together,” a source told BSW Buzz of the get-together at an AMC movie theater in uptown Manhattan. “Ryan and Eva seemed very happy.”

Dating since September, the couple appears to be getting serious as this is believed to be the first time Gosling has introduced Mendes to his family.

It's a big move for the Canadian heartthrob, who recently boasted about being raised by his mother in a single-parent home.

“I think like a girl," Gosling, 31, told The Independent. "I was literally raised by my mother and my sister. And I just feel like I wouldn’t know how to think any other way … My sister was my best friend and my hero growing up. Because I was home-schooled I didn’t have a lot of friends and I did ballet, which was always just girls. All of that had an effect on my brain.”

Now that Mendes, 37, is the main woman in Gosling's life, the couple has been having a difficult time hiding their blossoming romance.

After witnesses watched the pair "kissing and hugging" before boarding their flight to New York from L.A. on Friday, Mendes and Gosling continued their PDA streak when they were spotted leaving the Bowery Hotel together on New Year's Eve.

“While they waited for a cab outside the hotel, they kept kissing,” an onlooker told BSW Buzz. “They both looked very happy.”

Demi Moore To Play Gloria Steinem in The New Film “Lovelace”

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 11:30 AM PST

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Demi Moore, the soon-to-be former Mrs. Ashton Kutcher, will star as Gloria Steinem in the biopic about porn star Linda Lovelace, a feminist icon.

Demi Moore to play feminist Gloria Steinem

"Lovelace," which stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role, tells the story of the actress behind “Deep Throat,” the 1972 X-rated film that birthed the modern adult film industry and ignited a nationwide anti-obscenity campaign.

Moore will be joining a cast that includes Peter Sarsgaard as the late Lovelace's first husband, Chuck Traynor, as well as Chris Noth, Hank Azaria and Sharon Stone. Adam Brody and Eric Roberts also just signed on, with the former playing Lovelace's "Deep Throat" co-star Harry Reems.

James Franco is reportedly set for a cameo as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, although his casting hasn't officially been announced.

Lindsay Lohan, who was originally attached to the film in 2010 before her legal troubles took hold of her, was replaced by Seyfried.

Glanville, 38, wed mixed martial arts manager Darin Harvey in what Harvey called ‘a crazy Vegas moment,’ and the two celebrated shortly after at the Spearmint Rhino strip club.

But the marriage may be over before it even has a chance to begin. Glanville told E! News that the wedding was never anything more serious than some whimsical shenanigans. Must be nice to be a “celebrity…” They can do what ever the hell they want and then sweep it under the rug…

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 12:36 PM PST

Now that 2012 has officially begun, it’s time to get your beauty routine back on track. Start by making a list of all the things you need to buy and do in order to achieve better, clearer, healthier, and younger looking skin…Get that glowing skin you have been dreaming about!

How to get healthier glowing skin in 2012

First, before you do anything to your face, I would suggest getting a facial. You’ll want to slough off those nasty old dead skin cells and get that face circulating again. If you don’t have a regular facialist, I would suggest asking a friend who does. Recommendations are the way to go! Pamela Ford-Stevens, owner of Wild Flower Skin is my girl here in Los Angeles. She has magical hands and my skin just glows for weeks after one of her facials!

Second, buy yourself a fabulous skincare line such as Sudden Youth, Is Clinical or Tata Harper. Three of my favorite lines! Each one makes my skin brighter and younger looking…I sometimes combine all three on my face. There are so many skincare lines out there…But you need to know your skin type before you purchase one. That’s why I recommend a facial first. (She/he will analyze your skin before they touch your skin)

Remember, wash your face in the morning and especially at night! I can’t tell you how many young gals I know who do not wash their face at night! Your pores are being clogged all day long with pollutants and other harmful environmental factors that need to be cleansed on a daily basis. Girls! DO NOT, I REPEAT…DO NOT go to bed with a stitch of makeup on…eventually you will wake up to a pimple or pimples…NOT PRETTY!

Other skin brighteners I recommend are: Exuviance, I use a pad in the morning and my skin just glows! Love, love this product!!! I get lots of compliments when I use it. My all time fav is Egyptian Magic. For an instant glow under my eyes I apply a little bit each morning before I apply my SPF 50 by Bioelements. Never leave home without applying a good SPF!

Well girls, get to it!!! No more excuses for not taking proper care of your skin. Start today and by 2013 you’ll be surprised how much better your skin looks! Make sure to take a picture before and after. Let us know how your skin is progressing along with a list of the product you are using! We’ll feature it on BSW:)

Here’s to a new you:)!

Furious John Lennon fans on Twitter to Cee Lo Green: Forget You!

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 11:36 AM PST

Imagine if Cee Lo Green hadn't tinkered with the lyrics to John Lennon's classic "Imagine."

He probably wouldn't be catching heat Monday from outraged Lennon fans.

Green got into hot water for his rendition of the classic ballad he performed on NBC's New Year's Eve broadcast from Times Square.

Instead of singing "nothing to kill or die for/ and no religion too" as Lennon wrote, Green changed the lyrics to "nothing to kill or die for/ and all religion's true."

Furious Lennon fans unleashed a torrent of angry Tweets.

“The whole point of that lyric is that religion causes harm,” tweeted one fan with the handle @geekysteven. “If ‘all religion’s true’ it would be a pretty bleak place.”

Green, 37, who rocketed to fame in 2010 thanks to a hit song with an unprintable name (it's radio-friendly version is "Forget You") fired back at his critics.

"Yo I meant no disrespect by changing the lyric guys!" he tweeted. "I was trying to say a world were u could believe what u wanted that’s all."

Green also exchanged Tweets with other angry Lennon fans but has since deleted them.

Lennon had no use for organized religion and infuriated millions in 1966, when The Beatles were at the height of their popularity, after he predicted Christianity would "vanish and shrink" and added, "We're more popular than Jesus now."

Russell Brand may get $20 million of Katy Perry’s fortune in divorce if no pre-nup

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 11:20 AM PST

Russell Brand may be losing a bride, but he reportedly could be raking in some major money by ending his marriage to Katy Perry.

The 36-year-old told New York Magazine last year that the couple did not sign a pre-nup, which could mean he's entitled to half of Perry's millions.

According to California law, the couple — who wed there in October 2010 — must split their earnings 50/50.

That could potentially score Brand at least $20 million. According to Forbes, the 27-year-old "Fireworks" singer is worth at least $44 million, but some reports suggest it could be more.

Brand is reportedly estimated to be worth around $15 million.

The couple, who surprised fans when they announced Friday they were getting divorced, had spent Christmas apart amid rumors of relentless fighting.

The pair's constant bickering was "getting worse," which led to the split, a source told BSW Buzz in December.

Brand submitted the divorce papers in Los Angeles, reportedly at the request of Perry, who did not want to upset her religious parents.

The superstar couple wed last October, and have been fighting off rumors of marital problems in the past few months. Earlier this month, the British comedian debunked reports about any problems in their marriage on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

“Being famous is like a little bit of you is taken away and goes off and lives on its own and does what it wants,” Brand told the talk show host. “I wish it would do more interesting things.

“I’m married to Katy… Perpetually, until death do us part was the pledge. I’m still alive.”

Despite the sad turn of events, Brand appears to be trying to stay positive.

“I’m doing good. Everything is going to be better next year,” he told London's Daily Star.

Jay-Z and pregnant Beyonce may be parents soon

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 04:25 PM PST

As 2011 comes to a close, Beyonce has her sights set on a very important countdown of her own.

The singer, 30, is said to be expecting her baby any day now.

Several staffers at New York's St. Luke's Roosevelt hospital have been ordered to prepare the facility's labor and delivery suite for a "celebrity VIP," the gossip site, MediaTakeOut.com, reported.

Fellow crooner Alicia Keys gave birth to son Egypt in that same suite in 2010, according to RadarOnline.com.

There were, however, no obvious signs of additional security within the hospital on Thursday.

But photos of the Knowles family shopping around the city have further added to speculation that the due date is fast approaching.

Beyonce and husband Jay-Z reside in a multi-million dollar penthouse in the city.

The songstress has been low-key in the past few months, but in a clip from her "Live at Roseland DVD," she waves at fans and says, "Hello! It's Sept. 23 … Right now I'm actually shooting the video for 'Countdown' and I'm six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits."

Beyonce first revealed her pregnancy on the red carpet at this year's MTV Music Awards in August.

Get The Look: Meryl Streep

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 12:33 PM PST

Celebrity makeup artist Stacey Ellis of Byu-Ti Salon/LA once again gives us mere mortals a way to recreate a celeb look using specific makeup. Meryl Streep is aging gracefully although I do suspect she's had a tiny bit of work here and there. Regardless, she looks fantastic with natural makeup proving that makeup can really highlight our assets and hide our flaws at whatever age we are.

Meryl Streep

Copy Meryl's look by using the following:

Face: Apply DiorSkin Sculpt Foundation with a sponge or foundation brush. Set the foundation with a light layer of Diorskin Poudre Libre Powder. Apply Dior Blush color, Passionfruit to the cheeks sweeping back toward the ear.

Eyes: The 5 Color Lift Eyeshadow Palette has all the colors you need including a cream liner. Apply the pale middle tone under the brow line. Run the warm brown tone across the eye lid. Blend these two colors together with the peachy tone in the crease of the eyelid. Run a soft line of the darker color under the eye and apply the dark brown cream liner along the top lash line.

Finish the eye with Diorshow Iconic Mascara

Lips: Line the lip with Dior Contour Lip Liner Pencil color, Earth and top with Dior Addict Ultra Gloss color, Satin Peach

Steven Tyler gets engaged to girlfriend Erin Brady; family already disapproves of match

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 12:27 PM PST

Age is just a number, because even at 63, Steven Tyler is ready to take on marriage No. 3.

The rocker and “American Idol” judge proposed to longtime girlfriend Erin Brady, 38, over the holiday weekend — and his family’s not too happy about it.

Several family members have said that Brady is “just not nice” and has “been mean to the family,” sources close to the clan told TMZ.

In addition, the Aerosmith front man hadn’t told anybody about his plans to pop the question until after the fact, a decision that has caused an even bigger rift between Brady and the expansive Tyler family.

Tyler and Brady, a model, have been dating since 2006, just shortly after he split with his second wife, clothing designer Teresa Barrick.

The two were married from 1988 until 2006, and had two children together, Chelsea, 22, and Taj, 19.

Tyler also has a daughter with his first wife, Andy Warhol muse Cyrinda Foxe – model Mia, 33 – to whom he was married from 1978 to 1987.

The singer’s most famous daughter, actress Liv Tyler, is 34, just four years younger than Tyler’s new wife-to-be.

“Friends, friends’ mothers, kids, all different people come up to me pretty much everyday to say, ‘Oh we love your Dad. He’s so special and beautiful,’” she told Popeater of her dad earlier this year.

“There’s a real feeling of love which I think is incredible and quite powerful. I really just feel very proud of him.”

Celebrity Split Alert: Katy Perry and Russell Brand?

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 11:36 AM PST

The ongoing marriage saga between Katy Perry and Russell Brand comes just in time for the holidays. The pair reportedly “had a HUGE fight” just before Christmas, a source told BSW. It was reported: “She was like, ‘F–k you. I’m going to do my own thing.’ And Russell replied, ‘Fine, f–k you too.’ ”

Katy Perry and Russell Brand

Perry, initially had plans of taking her family for a trip to visit Brand’s London hometown, but after the big blowup, the pop star opted to jet to Hawaii with friends instead. Meanwhile, Brand, spent the Christmas holiday at a Cornwall pub before heading to friend David Baddiel’s charity swim.

“They haven’t split up just yet, but things are not good,” our source said. “The fighting is getting worse.” One of the main reasons Perry and Brand may be at odds as of late comes down to family. “Katy doesn’t think Russell respects her parents’ Christian beliefs or her friends,” another source added.

Rumors of an impending split are nothing new for this couple, who have had to fight off tabloid reports of divorce and pregnancy since they first married in October 2010. “There is always rumors, aren’t there?” Brand asked Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show earlier this month. “In the end you have to just not engage with Internet technology, which is difficult because a lot of the nude women websites I quite enjoy … I’ve treated the whole Internet now like it’s a wicked little liar … I am really happily married.”

Well, Russell…being a well known actor married to a well known pop star brings this sort of chaos and false info in the rag magazines…Chin up ole’ chap! Hopefully, love will prevail!
