Gossip

Marissa Jaret Winokur. ABC

As I have been discussing previously, many Hollywood stars that can be best described as mature moms are either using in vitro fertilization or IVF (many people suspect that Nancy Grace, Marcia Cross and Jennifer Lopez underwent assisted reproductive treatment or ART) or adopting. A new option, that is very controversial due to its ethical implications, is surrogate mothers. But for many parents that is the only option.

One of these parents is Broadway actress and Dancing With The stars contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur and her husband Judah Miller. Due to a previous cancer, she cannot get pregnant and that was the only option. Obviously, to find a surrogate mother in the United States is extremely complicated and expensive and that is why poor countries like India are offering options for foreigners.

Desperate women who are mired in abject poverty are willing to become surrogate mothers in the hope of making some money (most of the money is still kept by businesses that do the selling and provide the medical support) but as long as you are willing to deal with the ethical issues (and I am hoping that you will do something for these women beyond what you pay to the business owners), it is something to look at.

Sarah Larson

Luciana Barroso was one lucky woman. She was a single mom working as a waitress until Matt Damon saw him and her life changed.

Something similar happened to Sarah Larson who was a bartender until bad boy George Clooney saw her. Her world has already changed. She has already walked the red carpet and now she has become a swimsuit model. I also like the use of a scarf as a belt in this one piece bikini.

Nicole Richie

If jail term was necessary to make Nicole Richie a good girl, she might have become even a better girl now that she is a hot celebrity mother. And as we saw in the video of Christina Aguilera breastfeeding her newborn, it is very obvious that flat chested Nicole Richie is also enjoying her big breasts. I hope she knows about sagging after breastfeeding, how to take care of breasts, and is engaging in regular breast massages so that she does not need implants and a breastlift.

Carmen Electra. Crocker Jeans

In addition to Jordache jeans, Paige jeans, YMI jeans, and Bongo jeans, I am now recommending Crocker Jeans (created by Eti and David Levy in Paris and now based in Israel). Of course, I also like Japanese jeans and slimming jeans are my first choice. I choose ultra low rise jeans only for special occasions.

In this promotional photo for Crocker, Carmen Electra did not wear jeans per se but I was still intrigued by the outfit. It appears that she is wearing a blue satin bra top and then she has on a sheer corset. She matched it with a black skirt.

Gemma Atkinson and Petra Nemcova

Any woman (or for that man) will confess that black bra is sexy, especially when worn under a white shirt. I actually like to go one step further. Rather than just wearing a solid black bra, I prefer one that has a lace trim or embroidery like the ones being worn in this photo. Petra Nemcova has a La Senza bra (a Canadian lingerie company that is now part of Victoria's Secret) and Gemma Atkinson has an Ultimo brassiere.

Miranda Kerr

The bedroom is a girl's private sanctuary. Indeed, when she is with a man it makes perfect sense to wear sexy lingerie but on other days she is the queen of the den. Now let me repeat that I do not approve of girls sleeping in oversize T-shirts or sweatpants, but this cute set of PJ's that includes a camisole with matching boy shorts (and Sponge Bob to entertain you) is just too got not to sleep in.

Kate Winslet

From the moment I saw Kate Winslet in The Titanic, I knew that this girl would go places. She has established herself not only as a top actress but also as a style icon. That is why I look to her for tips and ideas on how to be a sexy woman without compromising on class.

As you can see in the pic above, what she does is not to wear a blouse and pick a bright pink, embroidered, designer bra and let the bra peek through her jacket. Now, I agree it may not be the most appropriate outfit for your Monday morning sales data review with your male colleagues, but that is not where it is meant to be worn. It is great way for a night on the town and I even have a naughty idea. Wear a conservative blouse to work over the bra and for that happy hour after work, just fold the blouse and put it in your purse. Don't complain if you get too much attention from men.

Arielle Kebbel

I really liked the way in Elisa Cuthbert wore a scarf around her neck or how Bai Ling used a scarf as a top. What I like about Arielle Kebbel is that she is using a headband that gives me an idea that you can actually use your silk scarf as an accessory and not only put it on your head to hold your hair in place but also let it hang loose to create a cute effect. Love it.

Lena Headey

A girl can never have too many shoes, particularly if they are red high heels. Even better if they are made by a designer like Jimmy Choo or Christian Louboutin. And that is exactly what Lena Headey is wearing -- a pair of shoes that will give any woman an instant orgasm. I fail to understand why Diablo Cody will refuse to wear those gorgeous Stuart Weitzman shoes.

Victoria Beckham

I wish Victoria Beckham will smile more often and that will make her look less of an alien but that does not mean that I do not like her style. She is one Hollywood star that is always impeccably dressed and that is when she is a hands-on mom too. I really like this designer handbag on her. I think it is so stylish and really suits her personality and outfit. (Related: How to look like Victoria Beckham?)

Adriana Lima and Karolina Kurkova modeling Victoria's Secret Biofit Uplift bras

After the IPEX bra, Victoria's Secret has finally launched a bra that is just sexy enough for a woman but is also very functional because it provides a nice lift to sagging breasts and creates a noticeable cleavage. Of course, Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima will be just fine braless but it was still nice to see them model it.

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson may not have big breasts but she is a gorgeous mama. That is why I was thrilled to see her on the beach in a thong swimsuit. And mind you this was in Florida, not overseas, where use of thongs is widely accepted, unlike the US, where even among women use of thong is limited. Of course, Kate Hudson has the perfect body for it.

Do we finally have an explanation of why Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston ended their marriage and why Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow broke up their engagement?

Yes. In an interview Sheryl Crow, now a best friend of Jennifer Aniston, reveals that when she found out that Brad Pitt was too close to Angelina Jolie, she ended the marriage. She realized that the two had very different ideas about how they planned to spend their lives. For similar reasons, Sheryl Crow also dumped Lance Armstrong.
