While many styles may come and go but there is one style that always endures: smooth sleek and straight hair.

From the catwalks to the red carpets straight hair will always be in vogue. At the Hugo Boss winter catwalk shows the models had super shiny straight sexy hair while Milly by Michelle Smith had polished straight styles.

Of course the celebrities also know exactly how good straight hair can look on the red carpet as, if you need to look photo ready, smooth glossy straight hair will always look amazing. From Amanda Seyfried to Cheryl Cole and Angelina Jolie (and of course Jennifer Aniston), straight hair is always a red carpet winner.

What’s more straight hair doesn’t have to be boring; with great colour options, lengths and cuts available, straight hair can always look good. From bobs to long locks it can work for loads of people.

What’s more, it is easy to achieve gorgeous glossy straight hair as all you need is a set of flat irons. However, with ghds, gone are the days of making your hair frizzy and straw like by using straighteners. Their ceramic plates glide smoothly through the hair without snagging so they will create gorgeous and of course sexy straight hair with ease. You also don’t have to sacrifice on volume – all you have to do is pull the straighteners away from the head at a 180 degree angle and follow with a big barrelled brush to create straight hair with lots of volume.

Of course with ghds when you get bored of straight hair you can also create curls and waves with ease as the rounded barrel of stylers means the can create curls as well as they straighten so you can really mix up your look with one styling tool.

Whether you’re a student or work a 9 to 5 job, you probably often feel like putting on a comfy pair of sweats and a sweatshirt and heading straight out the door. However, no one wants to look unappealing when they are out in public. If you’re looking to stay cute and stylish while being comfortable, here are the top 5 tips you should keep in mind when getting dressed for your day:

1. Pick out comfy fabrics:
When you’re out shopping or looking through your closet, pick fabrics that appeal yet keep you comfortable no matter the season. Garments made from fabrics such as silk, linen, cotton and chiffon tend to be easy wears. Silky tops are great for warm days but are loose and extremely comfortable.

2. Go for leggings rather than jeans:
Jeans can be uncomfortable especially if they’re a skinny fit. Instead of wearing jeans every day, try going for soft cotton or spandex leggings that aren’t see-through. You can wear nearly everything with leggings, just depending on how covered you want to be. They’re easy to move around in and keep your legs warm!

3. The perfect sweaters:
Staying fashionable in the winter time can definitely be a challenge if it’s freezing out. Instead of throwing on a simple and boring sweatshirt or hoodie, get a unique knit oversized and warm sweater. Solid colors work great and they’re great to throw on top of tanks or tee’s!

4. Try a maxi-skirt:
In the summertime, going to work dressed in pants can be to hot! A maxi skirt is perfect for a casual or chic work look and will let you move around freely, without getting to hot! They’re great to pair with any tops and some sandals in the summer or spring time!

5. Stick with wedges:
If you love heels but often find yourself in pain during or after wearing them, wedges are the best alternative. Not only are they trendy and cute, but they also provide support for the foot and are easy to walk in. Depending on the style, wedges can be great for business meetings and even for simple days at school!

Sam is a believer in the idea that fashion does not have to be uncomfortable. Part of pulling off a great outfit is my making it your own. He also believes that personalised hoodies are an extra special and comfy staple in any wardrobe.

The New Year is just around the corner and women across the globe are considering what New Year’s Resolution to settle on this year. Will it be weight loss or spending less money on pretty small shoes? If they are being honest, neither of these things is likely to happen. So why not pick one that is doable? Why not follow these fashion tips and resolve to just look better this year?

Dress for the Season

Floral prints are fun and look great, as long as it is spring. But no woman should ever be seen wearing a floral print during the winter. So follow these basic guidelines for the seasons.

Spring is a time to have fun. Sundresses with long cardigans are great for the spring. Dresses with boots are also a must. Bright light colours are appropriate for the spring and pastels are also a great spring look. Avoid black because this is the season to be cheery and light hearted, not gloomy. Bermuda shorts can be pulled out in the spring if the weather permits. Pair any of these outfits with a cute clutch and fun jewellery.

During the summer, wear bright colours. This is a great time to wear tank tops and if you want to show some skin, this is the best time to do it. Sundresses and sandals are fun for the summer. Khaki shorts and a few pair of unique, cute sandals is a staple for many summertime outfits. Colours and clothing should be kept light not only for appearance but because it is also too hot in most places and nobody wants to stand next to the sweaty girl.

In the fall, wear maroons, browns, oranges, and other beiges. This is cardigan weather, ladies. Embrace it. Black can be worn but at the risk of seeming too gloomy. If wearing black in the fall, make sure to wear a scarf or jewellery that accents using one of the beige colours. Boots are also a vital fashion accessory in the fall. Summer tank tops can be covered with a cardigan and paired with boots to make a quick and efficient outfit.

Winter is time to break out the sweaters and jackets. Having a few sweaters and a cute jacket can make or break anyone’s season. Dark colours are great for the winter as long as they are not made to look too gloomy. Do not appear to be on the way to a funeral but black is great for the winter. Just make sure to accessorize properly with a fun scarf or gloves. Do not forget New Year’s Eve, ladies. Fashion should be kept sparkly and silver. A cute silver dress paired with fun heels makes any New Year’s Eve outfit a fresh beginning.

No matter what the season, it is important to maintain a pleasing appearance. The more professional and presentable a woman appears, the more likely she is to be taken seriously in any situation. These basic tips can help anyone keep their fashion in line with the season. Just remember that certain colours match certain seasons and that all fashion should be fun and exciting. Everyone should walk out of a house feeling good about the way they look and that is a New Year’s Resolution that is not difficult to keep.

Visiting Los Angeles for the first time and just dying to look like a celebrity when you head over to Hollywood?  If so, you certainly aren’t the first person with such dramatic aspirations.  Still, convincing a general populace so accustomed to celebrity culture that you’re among the A-List is no easy task.  In order to come off as a Hollywood debutante, you need to act the part, and play it well.  Start by reserving a room at a high-end luxury hotel in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, or another gleaming part of the downtown LA area, as you can’t just plaster your hand prints in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre just yet.

The reason that the high-end hotel room is so necessary is because you need to amplify your faux celebrity in a controlled manner.  Strutting down Sunset Boulevard in oversized Gucci sunglasses in stilettos and a fabulous dress will only make you part of the crowd, not head and heels above it.  You need to understate your approach while overstating yourself in the few appearances you make.  Sending someone to the front desk to confirm your hotel reservation and having someone else carry your bags to your room is a good start.  To build on that, stand in the hotel lobby with part of your face covered, and dressed in understated clothes.  After all, a real celebrity wouldn’t want everyone to know what hotel she was checking into, so she wouldn’t be wearing a gown and glowing makeup reminiscent of a red carpet debut.

When you do use hotel facilities, try wearing a luxurious bathrobe and a pair of comfy, casual slippers.  This will help to exude your confidence and establish your reputation as someone who feels as comfortable at a five-star resort as she does at home.  The bathrobe should be plush and modern, so stick to whites or pastel colors and avoid any robes that look like they fell off the rack at Walmart and into your shopping cart.

When all else fails, have a friend approach you in fake freak-out mode while in front of a crowd, perhaps in the hotel lobby or by the pool.  Her unrequited need to meet you will stoke the interest of others, and in no-time you’ll be a celebrity just by the unique ‘coincidence’ of having been recognized in your five-star seclusion.

One celebrity expecting her second child is Rebecca Gayheart. Gayheart, who once starred on Beverly Hills, 90210, already has a daughter, Billie Beatrice, born in 2010. If for some reason she can’t get to hospital when the time comes, her husband Eric Dane might be able to assist. Dane should have picked up a few things on the set of Grey’s Anatomy, where his character just fathered a child, but hopefully there won’t be a need to page Dr. Sloan.

Keri Ann Peniche, who once dated Aaron Carter, is also pregnant. Peniche gained a bit of notoriety when she appeared on a season of Dr. Drew Pinsky’s reality show, Celebrity Rehab, on VH1. The former Miss Teen USA contestant who posed nude for Playboy also, coincidentally enough, took part in a controversial home video with Gayheart and Dane.

Beyoncé is no longer a single lady, and she and husband Jay-Z are eagerly awaiting their new bundle of joy. Strange food cravings can certainly be one of the 99 problems an expectant mother may have, and Beyoncé’s newfound penchant for dipping bananas in ketchup is certainly a new one, as is her desire to smother her ice cream with hot chilli sauce.

Jessica Simpson may not know the difference between tuna and chicken, but she certainly is happy to be eating tons of cheesy popcorn and nachos dipped in chocolate as she prepares to give birth to her child with Eric Johnson. She recently put their wedding plans on hold, but maybe the baby on the way is the reason for the delay and not any cold feet.

Jack Osbourne, Jared Padalecki and Johnny Knoxville are all in the market for congratulatory cigars as each one announced their looming fatherhood in recent days.

And Ben Affleck, along with celebrity bride Jennifer Garner, are getting ready to welcome their third child to the world. The couple already have two daughters together – Violet and Seraphina. Garner has been photographed around town drinking lots of Starbucks coffee and carrying boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts. Perhaps however, she’s not actually “eating for two” but merely buying a snack “for the crew.”

Congratulations to all the expecting parents!

Dr Who has been a staple of the tabloid celebrity news columns since returning to TV screens in 2005 – mainly due to the obvious star quality of cast members Billie Piper, David Tennant, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. The latest tale doing the rounds is that comic Miranda Hart was being lined up for a stint as a companion of the Time Lord – only for BBC1 executives to scupper the plans.

According to The Sun, show chief Steven Moffat was keen on casting the sitcom star in future episodes, but was told that she will instead be focusing on her own hit show Miranda. She’s said to be “gutted” that her chances of travelling through time and space appear to have been dashed.

While the doctor’s companions haven’t exactly fit a strict template in recent years, ranging from old comedy hands like Sharon Tate and Elisabeth Sladen to newcomers such as Gillan and Freema Agyeman, we’re finding it hard to imagine bumbling Miranda pulling off such a serious role. This has got us thinking about other potentially disastrous castings on Dr Who – here’s a few that stand out from our quick straw poll.

1. Steven McFadden as Dr Who
During his time on EastEnders, Steve has proved himself to be a versatile actor – portraying Phil Mitchell as a drunk, druggie mechanic and (occasional) sweetheart, sometimes all within the space of a few episodes. But the role of the Time Lord would just be a step too far – although it’d be amusing to see him beating the Daleks and Cybermen with pure brute force rather than the Doctor’s usual cunning.

2. Katie Price as the Doctor’s companion
The Tardis may have almost infinite rooms, but it’d still struggle for space with all of this celebrity gossip column queen’s clothes, make-up and hair extensions. When the time came to save the universe again, the Doctor wouldn’t stand a chance with the distraction of a drunk, leering Jordan stumbling around the Tardis.

3. C3PO as a Cyberman
Should budget cuts hit the show in the future, producers may be forced to look around for other robots to join the Cybermen. But Star Wars’ camp cyborg certainly wouldn’t strike fear into either of the Doctor’s hearts with his confused rambling.

4. Brian Potter as Davros
OK, so like C3PO, Brian is a character rather than an actual person – played to great comic effect by Peter Kay in Channel 4’s Phoenix Nights. But while wheelchair-bound Brian could certainly look the part of the Dalek leader, his Lancashire brogue just wouldn’t cut it. Pedants would also point out that Kay’s already had a role in the show, playing alien Abzobaloff.

5. Only Fools And Horses’ Trigger as the Cybermen’s creator John Lumic
Actually, this did happen in 2006’s ‘Rise of the Cybermen’ – which was certainly a step up from actor Roger Lloyd-Pack’s role as Peckham’s premier road-sweeper. Which proves there’s at least hope for all of the above – Miranda included.

Recent celebrity news reports have suggested that Little Britain pair David Walliams and Matt Lucas could be set to end their comedy partnership after more than a decade of making TV shows together.

Although Lucas has claimed his new solo show The Matt Lucas Awards doesn’t signal the end of their work together, it’s clear they’re looking to try their own things and see if they can find success without one another.

The celebrity news stories about their relationship have got us thinking about how highly the pair rate compared to other double acts – and reminded us of our other favourites. Down the years, double-acts have been the bedrock of comedy – being funny is often a lot easier when you’ve got someone to riff off and play the stooges.

Here are some of our other favourites:

Laurel and Hardy

The original, and some would say, best double act, Laurel and Hardy took the entertainment world by storm in the late 1920s with their unique brand of madcap visual slapstick. They made more than 100 films together and have influenced generations of comedians over the past 90 or so years.

Morecambe and Wise

If Laurel and Hardy were the USA’s best-loved double act, Morecambe and Wise became something of a British equivalent in the 1970s. Catchphrase-heavy and full of perfect comedy timing, their shows became must-watch events in the 1970s and ‘80s, most notably on Christmas Day, when their specials became British institutions and achieved record viewing figures. One special was even reported to have seen 28 million people tune in – around half of the British population.

Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson

The 1980s witnessed something of a boom for double acts in the UK as comedy became the new rock’n’roll, with the likes of French and Saunders, Hale and Pace and Smith and Jones achieving huge fame. However, it was Mayall and Edmondson who stood out the most for their madcap antics in the double act, 20^th Century Coyote. The pair, who had worked on cult sitcom The Young Ones, teamed up again on 1990s alternative favourite Bottom, which saw them play a pair of flatmates who inflicted pain on each other in all manner of weird and wonderful ways.

Reeves and Mortimer

Thought by many to be an homage to Morecambe and Wise, this duo’s use of bizarre slapstick saw them take the alternative comedy world by storm in the early ‘90s before they found more mainstream fame on spoof panel gameshow Shooting Stars – the show that launched Matt Lucas’s career as oversized, drum-playing, score-keeping baby George Dawes – which brings us back to where we started …

Charlie Sheen may have lost his role in his old show, but it seems that opportunities just roll open for the actor.

Sheen just signed a $ 3,000,000, 3 year contract to be the following for EstablishedMen.com:

• Endorser
• Point person for Advertising
• Point Person for Sales
• Point person for Promotions
• President

Yep, you read the last one right: he’s going to be the president of the site for rich guys “looking” for needy women. AND he gets 50 percent interest in the company. The requirements are that Sheen can’t work for anyone else (since it’s an exclusive contract) and that he has to move all the way to Toronto.

Good luck to Charlie and the site.

With Ashton Kutcher taking over the vacuum created by Charlie sheen in Two and a Half Men, sources from Sheen’s camp said to Popeater’s Rob Shuter that the actor has been “destroyed” by the news:

“He really thought that he would be invited back,” a friend of Charlie’s tells me. “After years of suffering no consequences for his behavior, why would he think anything else? Finally it has sunk in that he doesn’t live by different rules to everyone else. Actions do have a consequences.”

Sheen’s friends are now worried that the actor will go into another deadly spiral after all the plans he made didn’t push through. We’re hoping that Charlie sheen will be able to get up from this situation and become a better actor soon.

It seems that Ashton Kutcher really is taking over Chalie Sheen’s role after the troubled actor was fired over Two and a Half Men.

Charlie’s stint at the show made him more than a million each show, but TMZ’s sources say that Ashton will be making less than that:

Sources tell TMZ, Charlie’s base pay on the show was $1.25 million an episode. We’ve learned Ashton will get more than half — more than $625,000 — but less than $900,000.

The whole cast, of course without Charlie Sheen, will return to reprise their old roles. Ashton will be playing a new role in the show; no news on how the character will be related to sheen’s old one, if ever, yet.
