• Lindsay Lohan will start recording her third album soon, reportedly titled Nobody’s Angel. Is it because she’s contractually obligated? Or because she has so much free time on her hands, what with no movies to film? [Page Six]

• “I’m quite an opinionated tough girl,” singer Lily Allen says. “But then the minute I get into bed with somebody I turn into a little girl who needs cuddling and looking after. I’m really nauseating, basically.” Aw, we think that’s kinda normal! Don’t beat yourself up, Lil! [Page Six]
• Blind item! “Which young actress and aspiring singer is just stringing along that hip-hop star, hoping he’ll write some hits for her?” [Gatecrasher, last item]

Crawling Back…

Two weeks and no posts, yikes! I’m afraid to even check my comments because I’m almost sure there are some mean ones in there (did I ever tell you that I get hate mail?). But anyway, here’s the deal: with the exception of the blissful 4-day Thanksgiving weekend, I have been working my little tail off! This happens every year, there’s always a rush to finish various major projects before the end of the calendar year. And let’s not forget the holiday shopping that’s been eating up whatever off hours I can get.

So that’s what I’ve been up to lately. Just didn’t want you to think I was hanging out in a spa or anything. It’s actually quite the opposite; in fact, the only thing more embarrassing than the lack of posts lately is how my beauty routine has managed to derail itself in the absence of adequate time and resources.

I can’t wear anything more substantial than Essie Allure on my fingers because I can’t manage chips with a dark or opaque polish. I’m white as a sheet without my gradual tanners. I’ve broken one of my own cardinal rules of beauty and have been using a Philosophy 3-in-1 on my hair because I ran out of shampoo. I’ve been SLEEPING IN MY MAKEUP. And to top it all off, my roots are brutal.

The only thing I’ve been taking care of properly is the damn surgical scar on my arm, which gets daily pampering with silicone and/or polyurethane patches. Other than that, my entire beauty routine has gone to pot!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who falls into this mess on occasion. When your life goes into overdrive, what’s the first piece of your beauty routine that falls by the wayside? Commiserate with me here, and post it in the comments!

New Scent Obsession: Victoria’s Secret Supermodel [Teen Style Lounge]

Dang those “Rub wrist here to experience” inserts in catalogs and magazines! I was all set to award the new Usher fragrance the Top Spot on my Christmas Wish List…that is, until I had to go and smell this new Supermodel fragrance from my beloved Victoria’s Secret. Now, my whole plan has seen upheaval and I am rewriting my list as we speak.

But on the plus side, Supermodel is a bit cheaper than Usher, it comes in a handy dandy gift set with some shimmering stuff (always fun), and it will push me over the $100 requirement to get $15 off my order. Woot!

So, I guess it’s not all bad that I made my adjustment. Plus, my birthday is exactly 6 months away from Christmas, which means halfway through the year, I’m due for a new fragrance. Usher, you’re up next, babe.

So which scents are you hoping end up in your prezzie pile this holiday? Will you pick one out yourself or let someone do it for you? Are you buying a fragrance for someone else this year?

All Forms Of Alcohol Now Considered Beneficial [Burning The Scale]

The experts just can’t make up their minds, can they? It used to be that just red wine was good for you (in moderation of course) and considered heart-healthy. Beer and liquor were not associated with any health benefits.

Now it seems that alcohol of any form - whether it be liquor, wine, or beer - has health benefits when consumed in moderation (one drink a day on average, and less than 7 drinks a week).

Some of the benefits (from MSNBC) include:
-Raises “good” (HDL) cholesterol
-Regulates insulin
-Protects against rheumatoid arthritis
-Better than average health all around

Whether it hurts weight loss efforts is still unclear. I prefer abstaining during weight loss, but to each their own!
