Blake Lively Wears Minx

Earlier this week, actress Blake Lively, star of "Gossip Girl," wore Minx Silver Lightning nails to the Nina Ricci After Party for the Met Ball in New York City. Minx nails are a new nail fashion made of flexible film, and available in sparkly metallics, personalized graphics and photo-quality designs currently unavailable in the market. Minx gives women a new and glamorous way to extend fashion to their fingertips.
Celebrity manicurist Elle Gelle did Blake's nails with Minx for the event.
Who else has been Minxed to date? Top stars like Beyonce (who wore Minx at the AMA awards, which you covered in your blog), Victoria Beckham, to model Riley Presley (Elvis' granddaughter who wanted Silver Lightning toes) and Lady GaGa (she had nude Minx with black fishnet overlay for her new album cover!).

10 Tips To Rule Your Kitchen For A Girl On-the-Go”

I was invited to meet the editors of Women's Health Magazine today for an informal lunch / presentation and BOY did I get a lot of information! Not only am I head over heels in love with their online site, but I just might subscribe to their magazine after leafing through the one they gave me. I know this should live entirely on FitCeleb, as that section is solely dedicated to health and fitness, but I wanted to be sure everyone had a chance to read the 10 quick tips provided by nutritionist, Keri Glassman.
"10 Tips to Rule Your Kitchen for a Girl On-the-Go"
1. SWAP THE MAYO (or the sour cream)
Use nonfat Greek yogurt, which can serve as a great low fat substitution. Nonfat Greek yogurt also has many health benefits such as being high in calcium, protein, and containing probiotics.
2. PUREE
Use your favorite fruits and vegetables. You can do this in large batches, and then use them to speed up AND taste up cooking any time. If you want to make very large batches at one time, pureed fruits and vegetables can be frozen for about 2-3 months. Freezing them in ice cube trays will allow you to defrost the perfect amount needed!
3. INCREASE VOLUME
Increase the volume of your meals without adding calories to help you feel full for longer. Sound tricky? Here are some easy ways to do this.
4. GO FOR CHICKEN STOCK
Use the low sodium version! Add to mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower instead of butter or cream, or steam veggies in chicken stock for added flavor instead of using butter or oil.

I Love This Beauty Story

I read this great story in People magazine that I know you'll find inspirational too for your Mother's Day weekend.   Abbey Curran (20) is the reigning Miss Iowa USA who competed in this year's Miss USA pageant in April.  She's got everything a Miss USA contestant would have, only she was also born with cerebral palsy, which forced her to wear leg braces until age 10 and limp, dragging her left foot behind her.  When she told her teachers that she wanted to be like the beauty contestants she saw on TV, they encouraged her to be realistic because she could never be like them.   Instead of discouraging her, the comments made her work harder to be what she wanted to be...and now, in addition to competing in the Miss USA pageant, she raises funds to hold the yearly "Little Miss You Can Do It" pageant for disabled little girls and young women, hoping it will inspire them to "be whatever they want to be."  Says the beauty queen:
The biggest hurdle isn't cerebral palsy.  It's getting over what everyone else thinks."

Now I'm not sure how you feel about beauty pageants, but I love this story because it shows that perseverance and believing in yourself are what really makes you shine.  Feeling good on the outside is great too, of course, which is why we love beauty products!!  But here's Abbey Curran's perspective, which I'm definitely taking with me from her very moving story!:
I believe it's the heart that matters most, then I'll worry about the hair."

Guess Who Was Caught Kissing At KFC?

Rihanna and her non boyfriend! New photos (working on getting them) of Rihanna and Chris Brown kissing and cuddling in a Miami, Florida KFC diner have ended reports the pair is just good friends. In fact, the way the story is running makes it sound like Rihanna kissed Chris only after she saw that the paps were following them! Perhaps she is tired to pretending the two aren't an item.
Dressed down and looking like any other KFC regulars, the couple went public with their much-hyped romance when the two young hitmakers realised they had been spotted by the paparazzi on Wednesday night. Rihanna immediately put her arms around Brown's neck and planted a lingering kiss on his lips.

UPDATE: Concrete Loop has the shots. None of my agencies are carrying them yet. So click here to see them.

Liv Tyler Splits From Husband

I read about the divorce very early in the morning, but it was just a rumor at the time and didn't post it because I didn't really believe it. My mistake as People Magazine is now making the split official. Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon have decided to separate. Rep confirmation and all.
"Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon have confirmed their separation. They remain good friends and devoted parents to their son Milo and are requesting that their family's privacy be respected at this time."

The small whispers of trouble in paradise became much louder when Liv was snapped alone and without her ring at the NY Costume Institute Gala earlier in the week.
