Real Life (Yeah, Right) Beauty Tips of the Stars

I just love those “favorite beauty tips of the stars” features that are the staples of all those good junky celebrity gossip mags. You know, where some positively gorgeous size zero shares her secret advice for looking so good: drink lots of water, just use a little makeup, find your style and stick with it, and channel your inner beauty...yeah, right.

These little nuggets of beauty advice crack me up. How about a red carpet celeb finally getting real; you know, something like: “My inner glow comes from (pick one or some): the Botox syringe, the $300 bottle of goop from pig placentas, the handy nips and tucks courtesy of my plastic surgeon, and/or the ministrations of my personal shopper, makeup artist, style consultant, hair stylist, trainer, and low cal gourmet chef?

Look, I’m all for doing what you gotta/want to/do. Just don’t tell us that buff bod and glowing skin comes from “feeling good about yourself.” Then again, maybe us regular folks would feel so good about ourselves if we looked like you.

I'm right there with you. I also love to see the magazines that promote on the cover two stories...#1 - love yourself at any size...followed by #2 - look at how fat this star has gotten. UK mags are so much worse than anywhere else...you couldn't feel good about yourself even if you were a size 0 model, cause you'd get lambasded for being too skinny!

This is why I like Oprah magazine... she encourages everyone, no matter what your size to be the best you can.
