Jennifer Hudson Lost a HUGE Part of Herself


Jennifer Hudson deserves waaay more than just a makeover of the year award: The Grammy and Oscar winner not only went from a 16 to a size 6 (WOW WOW WOW), she also had a baby, planned a wedding and cut a new album! In addition to a self-confessed shopping problem, she told In-Style Mag. that: “I’m actually thinking about shaving my head. I am! Because I feel I’ve got a good structure now [gingerly feels cheekbones]. My cousin’s a beautician, and she always tells me, ‘You could wear any hairdo.’ So I’m thinking, What if I shave my hair? Not completely off, but low. I think that would be so hot.” And while reaching her goal weight hasn’t been a piece of cake, she’s confident that she got it just right.

My Advice to Jennifer... Losing the Weight is One thing but Your Hair "weave" is a Totally different thing!
Lookin' GUD Just the way You Are!! :)

Alicia Keys has Opened the Door to Married Life


Alicia Keys rep confirmed her marriage to Swizz Beatz!

The singer, 29, who is pregnant, and the producer, 31, exchanged vows in front of close family and friends in a private home on the Mediterranean Sea.

Their friend Dr. Deepak Chopra presided over the intimate ceremony.

Keys wore an ivory silk, georgette-draped Vera Wang goddess gown with jewel detail on the back shoulder.

She carried a bouquet of purple calla lilies. The groom donned a classic Tom Ford tuxedo.

"Wowwwwwwwwww," Beatz (real name: Kasseem Dean) Twittered Saturday. He later wrote, "It's a brand new day :) I feel like Nas and Diddy song :) love y’all and blessing!"

Alicia Keys is expected to deliver in late May.

Go-Go Gadget


I recently dropped by Sephora to check out this pro-quality, double-duty pore purifying device, which gets skin squeaky clean and massages in moisturizer using sonic vibrations very similar to the Clarisonic at an average price tag of about $185. Thanks to the employee at a local boutique for the advise but my Clarisonic is Pore-rific! Gotta Luv clean skin:)

Bethenny & Baby Bryn


Bethenny Frankel's Painful Past

Bethenny Frankel is happily focused on pampering her new baby, 8-week-old Bryn. But the reality TV star says her own childhood was far less loving.

"I never had a true childhood," Frankel, 39 – the only child of legendary horse trainer Bobby Frankel and his first wife, Bernadette – tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "There was a lot of destruction: alcohol abuse, eating disorders and violent fights."

The Real Housewives star – whose new Bravo reality series, Bethenny Getting Married? chronicles her whirlwind romance with businessman Jason Hoppy and the birth of Bryn – says she has long been estranged from her mom, whom she describes as "extremely volatile. She was never a mother to me."
