Katie Price Gets New Tattoo for Model Boyfriend


Katie and Leandro Penna have only been dating for about 3 months, but they’re already tighter than ever – and so very much in love that she’s decided to celebrate said love with a new tattoo.


The two are now in Marbella enjoying a holiday with several other stars from British television and, while lounging by the pool, paparazzi got an eyeful of Katie’s new ink, as the Daily Mail notes.

The tab also has pictures of it.

“Katie Price’s new tattoo in honor of her Argentine boyfriend Leandro Penna has finally been revealed. As the couple frolicked poolside in Marbella, Katie showed off the ink which reads ‘Leo 27-02-11’,” the Mail writes.

“Underneath her boyfriend’s name, she has embossed the exact date in which she met her new love,” says the publication.

The two met at Sir Elton John’s post-Oscar party in Los Angeles and have been practically inseparable ever since. No word yet on whether Leandro too got a similar tattoo.

“Katie had also revealed another new tattoo last week – a large rose, which covers up what used to be a tribute to her first husband Peter Andre,” the Mail writes.

“That tattoo is featured on her wrist, which she previously cross etched with an X over Pete’s name when they split in 2009,” adds the tab.

It is believed she got both tattoos while in Argentina earlier this year, where she met Leandro’s family and played the tourist – while cameras for her latest reality show kept rolling.

Tattoo artist Mariano Antonio first did a spiral on Leandro’s back and, upon Leo’s recommendation, was commissioned to do two pieces for Katie as well.

Coco’s Backside Is Surgically Enhanced


Ice-T’s wife, Coco, has always insisted that there’s nothing plastic about her insanely curvy body except her breasts, which she had enlarged through implants. A new series of photos would seem to prove otherwise.

As we also informed you a while ago, Coco and Ice-T will soon be seen in their own E! reality series, aptly called “Ice-T Loves Coco.”


The Daily Mail appears to have gotten its hands on a series of family photos that will be shown on the series, and which seem to confirm that she’s not always been this endowed in the backside department as she is now.

“The glamour model was once known merely as Nicole, a tomboy who enjoyed riding quads, playing American football and dancing jazz and tap,” the Mail writes.

“Pictures from the outrageously curvaceous star’s childhood reveal a far more understated brunette who ‘didn’t know why boys liked me’,” says the British tab.

Family photos show Nicole with her sister Kristy Williams, who is also famous for her generous derriere these days – and neither seems to have been so well equipped in their youth.

If true and these photos have not been tampered with in any way, this means that Coco has been lying to the world (and her fans, most importantly) about being 100 percent natural from the waist down.

The question of whether Coco has had implants put in was a hot one for a very long time, especially when it became clear that she would be making a fortune off her backside, which, she claimed, had not been injected with anything.

“We are also introduced to pictures of Nicole as a teenager, again a complete contrast to the curvy blonde incarnation she has evolved into,” the Mail says of what the first episode of the reality show will include.

“Going back almost two decades, it’s clear her infamous rear was not of the epic proportions it is now. We also see Nicole and her sister pictured with their parents, actors who met on the set of US TV series Bonanza,” adds the tab.

“Ice-T Loves Coco” debuts on E! on June 12. Coco is yet to address claims from the Mail that she blew her own cover on her backside implants. See here for the photos.

Coco and Ice-T Get Their Own Reality Show



Rapper / actor Ice-T and his wife Coco are no strangers to cameras or television. Soon enough, though, their fans will get their much-needed fix of these two celebrities, as they’re getting ready to premiere their own reality show.
Coco, who has been keeping herself busy these days by over-sharing on her Twitter page, among other things, will soon appear on her own show, in which, of course, her hubby will also make some appearances. 



TMZ was the first to break the story, saying the series will be made by and aired on E!, just like all of the Kardashian reality shows.

“Coco has no problem revealing several intimate details (and body parts) on her Twitter feed – now TMZ has learned she’ll be doing that every week on her new reality show,” TMZ says.

As with all shows of this kind, this one too will focus on the life and hectic schedule of a celebrity, Coco in this case.

“We’re told the show has begun shooting in NYC – it will focus on her crazy life and will feature her hubby, rapper/actor Ice-T,” TMZ adds.

Shortly after TMZ broke the story and it got out online, Coco took to her Twitter to confirm the news: indeed, she’s getting her own reality show on E! and she’s thrilled about the premiere.

She also offers a release date for the program.

“OH wow!!! TMZ broke my secret today!!!!! I’ve been wanting to tell my followers for a month now, Coco tweets, including a link to the TMZ story.

“Since the secrets out.Yes,been working really hard this month on my new Reality Show that airs June 12th on E! 1030pm after the Kardashians,” the star says.

Coco, Nicole Natalie Austin, has been married to Ice-T since 2005 but she’s not what one may call a “celebrity by association.”

She’s also done dancing, glamour modeling (for Playboy, most notably) and is incredibly famous for her killer curves, of which she says they’re mostly natural: she has breast implants but the backside is all hers.

Water for Elephants – Movie Review

Jacob Jankowski never thought that his life would turn out to be so unpredictable. At the same time, viewers will probably be surprised to see that, in an era when bombastic – and otherwise empty of any concrete meaning – special effects and insane action scenes set the tone, “Water for Elephants” is a pleasure for the eyes. 
For the mind and soul, not so much, since the film is not really as compelling as it tries to appear.

Directed by Francis Lawrence (who offered no indication of his inclination for period pieces with his previous work, “I Am Legend,” “Constantine” and music videos for Britney Spears, JLo and Madonna), the film is set in the 1930s Depression and Prohibition era, in a world to which viewers no longer have any access: the circus world.


Just like the original novel on which it’s based, Sara Gruen’s “Water for Elephants,” the film opens with a “Titanic”-style, modern-day prologue of an old Jacob (Hal Holbrook, wonderful as always), trying to talk his way back into the circus world with his story of how he was there when the Benzini Bros. Circus came tumbling down. 

As the main frame is set, viewers are taken back to 1931, where a young, handsome and, we learn, very smart and dedicated Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is preparing for his finals at Cornell University. 

He wants to be a veterinary just like his father, take over his practice, and become the provider for this tight and loving Polish-American family. And then life happens, which prevents events from going down this very predictable path. 

The death of his parents in a car accident sends Jacob out into the world, with no specific destination in mind. He hops on a freight in the middle of the night – and instantly finds himself on the train that takes “the most extravagant extravaganza, the greatest show on earth,” the Benzini Bros. Circus, all across America. 

In almost the next second, the bewildered (but still just as handsome) Jacob is introduced to the rigorous caste system that rules this world he’s never heard of: he meets the workers, the freaks and, last but not least, the owner and his gorgeous wife. 

“Water for Elephants,” a love story that overcomes all adversity
Enlarge picture
August (Oscar-winning Christoph Waltz) is part gentleman, part brute, and by far the most complex and fascinating character in the film. 

Endowed with a charming smile that guarantees he always comes out the winner and cursed with a fiery temper that he does little to control, he’s so menacing yet attractive that it’s almost hard to pry one’s eyes off the screen whenever he’s on it. 

Because he believes people and animals are disposable and respond only to violence, he rules the circus with an iron fist – “no one dies until August says so,” viewers hear. 

He’s also fiercely protective and jealous of anyone even looking at his wife – and, it would seem, he has every reason to be so. 

Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) is the star attraction of the show: her horse and, later on, elephant number is the sole reason why the circus is still standing, and August would rather kill her than face the idea of losing her. 

She was saved, plucked from poverty by this cruel man whom she obeys blindly because he’s given her so much, and, we assume, it’s her sense of gratefulness that keeps her by his side long after it becomes clear that he’s not good to her.

Gratefulness though goes out the window when young, kind-hearted and passionate Jacob comes in the picture. Because of his experience with animals, he’s in a privileged position with ringmaster August, who takes turns in tormenting and mentoring him, and is as if pushing him towards Marlena. 

As such, it’s almost no wonder the two fall in love – especially after they get to bond over Rosie, a 9000-pound elephant who only understands Polish and who’s meant to become the act that will save the circus from going belly up. 

Though the circus world was, at the time, one of the harshest and cruelest places on earth, just as it was one of the most fascinating, awe-inspiring places, there’s little of either in “Water for Elephants.”

August and Rosie are the only two characters in the film that allow for this duality to be showed (or, even better, implied) on the screen. (Pattinson is definitely the weak link, while Witherspoon is contained and shallow in her characterization of Marlena). 


Otherwise, director Lawrence seems to be spending most of his time trying to make the film into a glossy, glammed-up story about two people who fall in love when they shouldn’t, and an elephant that makes viewers giddy with amazement the moment she comes on. 

Still, critics point out, a love story is irremediably flawed when the viewer doesn’t get the feeling that the protagonists are deeply, madly, passionately in love – and this is the case here, with Pattinson and Reese barely able to get a spark going between them. 

Moreover, when the climactic moment comes, after so much building up of tension and plodding through the narrative, it’s gone so fast that viewers feel cheated out of the cathartic experience they’d been promised. 

Which, of course, is not to say that “Water for Elephants” is an entirely bad movie. In fact, it’s the perfect, tasty, smooth hors d’oeuvre before the main course of the summer blockbuster season – and just as not filling. 

“Water for Elephants” is rated PG-13 and runs 122 minutes. It opened in the US on April 22, will arrive in France and the UK on May 4, and reaches Spain two days later, on May 6. 

The Good 

With “Water for Elephants,” Christoph Waltz proves there’s no better actor than him at doing bad guys. His August is so demented and compelling, he makes everyone and everything pale by comparison. Lovers of a good and touching animal story, as well as fans of Pattinson will also duly enjoy “Water for Elephants.”

The Bad 

“Water for Elephants” had all the right ingredients to become the next big thing: a bestseller, a wonderful story, A-list stars. Perhaps fearing that he’d lose a segment of the audience, Lawrence compromised and made it into a glossy, rather shallow and soulless narrative, from which viewers will probably take very little when they leave the theater. 

The Truth 
“Water for Elephants” will be a hit with fans of the original book and, of course, a chunk of the huge “Twilight” fanbase. It’s not an extraordinary film, but it does have moments of pure brilliance. It’s a relief to see that Hollywood is still perfectly able to make a movie that, at the very least, aims to be different.

Poonam Pandey says no to stripping onscreen


New Delhi, Apr 16 (PTI) Poonam Pandey, who grabbed headlines with her promise to go nude to celebrate team India''s World Cup win, has been flooded with offers from Bollywood but the swim suit model says she will not strip onscreen.
The model attracted criticism with her offer, which she claims was declined by BCCI.
But it has helped her land a spot on stunt reality show ''Khatron Ke Khiladi'' on Colors.
The model says she has been offered film roles and item songs in Bollywood but does not believe that her bold image will have a negative impact on her acting dreams.
"I don''t think that my bold image will hamper my career. My decision to go naked was for my nation and not a cheap publicity stunt. That does not mean that I will strip in Bollywood. I want to act just like any other actress," Poonam told PTI.
The 19-year-old claims that despite some brickbats, many people came out to support her decision.
"After I said that I will strip, there were a lot of people who supported and understood my sentiments. I don''t understand why few people had to behave like the way they did and create an issue out of nothing," she said.
Poonam, who faced the camera for the first time during Gladrags and went on to become a Kingfisher model, says she is keen on working in films and wants to become a successful actor.
For now, Poonam wants to focus on ''Khatron Ke Khiladi 4'', hosted by Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar. The show will be shot in Cape Town, South Africa.
"I am preparing myself for the show, I practice underwater swimming. It is very different from other reality shows. They are just fake," she said.
Poonam is also looking forward to meet Akshay, who has been her favourite since childhood.
"I have been watching his films since childhood. He is a great actor. I am looking forward to meet him," she added. PTI CORR

Easy Tips To Measure Bust Line

If you have been following my previous blog, you will notice that 80% of women are unaware that they are wearing the wrong size bra. One of the main reasons is that they have no idea or even understand how to measure their breasts size correctly.

Once you know your accurate bra size, you'll find that bras fit much more comfortably and provide more support.

In order to measure your success with natural breast enlargement, you need to measure your breasts correctly.

Measuring Your Bust Line

Method - 1



    * Make use of a tape measure to know the measurement of the bust line.
    * Take the measurement directly on your skin. Place the inch tape on the fullest area of your area and nowhere else.
    * Flatten the tape measure by holding it tightly against your skin. Do not leave extra space to measure your bust line.
    * Make sure that you are holding the measuring tape appropriately, neither too tight nor too loose in your bust line.
    * Measure it carefully, so that you get the right size for your bra.

Method - 2


    * To determine your band size, the first step would be to put on your best fitting unpadded bra.
    * With the help of a measuring tape, gauge your size. For this, you need to put the tape around your rib cage, directly under the bust. Ensure that the tape is flat and straight against your back. Measure tightly.
    * In case the measurement has a fraction, round down if it is less than half and up if it is more than half. For instance, if your measurement is 30 and 1/4 inches, round down to 30. However, if your measurement is 30 and 1/2, round up to 31.
    * Now, add 5 inches to your rib cage measurement. If you come up with an odd number, round up to the next even number, as bras are available only in even number sizes. For instance, in case your rib cage measurement is 30 inches, adding 5 inches equals 35. You would then have to round it up to the next even number, i.e. 36. This would be your band size.
    * Now, again take the measuring tape and measure around your chest at the fullest part of the bust line. It is usually across the nipples.
    * At the time of measurement, make sure that the tape is horizontal, straight and flat all the way around your body. Round up or down to the nearest whole number. This would be the bust line measurement.
    * To determine the cup size, subtract your band size from your bust line measurement. The difference would be the cup size.

Note:
For a difference of ½ ", the cup size is AA.
For a difference of 1", the cup size is A.
For a difference of 2", the cup size is B.
For a difference of 3", the cup size is C.
For a difference of 4", the cup size is D.
For a difference of 5", the cup size is DD.
For a difference of 6", the cup size is F.
For a difference of 7", the cup size is G.
For a difference of 8", the cup size is H.

Different Types Of Swimwear For Women

When anyone goes to the beach they usually observe several different types of swimwear girls walking around. Some have one pieces, while others have bikinis and others might wear tankinis, which are like bikinis, but instead the tops more like a tank top. Whatever the different types of swimwear girls are wearing there will always be a new style or fashion that will be chasing after. For now though there are only a few main choices.

Types Of Swimwear For Women

String Bikini
String bikini is the perfect fit for curvy hips. If you have a pear shaped body, you will be able to carry off this bathing suit effortlessly. Bikini bottoms with ties will accentuate your body shape and make you look gorgeous. The deep plunging neckline will look the best if you are blessed with a great cleavage.

Padded Bikini
Upset with your boyish figure? Do not worry, because wearing padded bikinis will give the illusion of curves. If you have small breasts or are flat on top, wearing a padded bikini with bright and cheerful patterns will give the illusion of curves and make the upper body look more feminine.

Under-wire Support
An under-wire support in the swimwear is needed for women with a heavy bust. Go for a top that is in your bra size. You can also opt for one-piece swimsuits with under-wire support, to perk you up and provide better support for your heavy bust.

The Miracle Suit
The miracle suit works great for plus-size figures. It virtually takes 10 pounds off your body, the moment you wear it. The stretchable suit accommodates your fat by compressing it. As a result, the waistline looks slimmer. This adds curve to your body shape.

Halter-Top Bikinis
Halter-top bikinis can be a good choice, if you want to flaunt a sexy cleavage. Go for the swimsuits whose top is banded around the midriff and tied in back and around the neck. Not only will this give some lift to your bust line, it will allow you to make adjustments according to your fitting as well.
