Angelina Jolie for Shiseido cosmetics

The dirty little secret of Hollywood celebrities is that they star in advertisements in Japan but not so in Hollywood. Why? The money in Japanese advertising business is just too big to say no. Almost every star has pitched a product to Japanese consumers who are often obsessed with American celebs. Watch the commercial of Angelina Jolie pushing Shiseido cosmetics.

How to plump your lips with makeup?

There is no doubt that we Americans love the luscious lips of Angelina Jolie, though I was talking to some Japanese women the other day and they said that they would not like to have those lips and neither would Japanese men admire them.

In any case, it is great to have plump lips and you can do that with Restylane injections or collagen or lip implants or undergo a lip augmentation procedure or lip enhancement or simply use some makeup that will give a plumping effect for a party or a special evening. Makeup artist Tricia Sawyer has this excellent video tutorial for plumping your lips.

Borat speech video at Golden Globe

The day of the Golden Globe ceremony, I make sure I have time to watch the red carpet dresses. The dresses (Drew Barrymore looked great after that braless faux-pas last year), who has come with whom (Reese Witherspoon, Renee Zellweger, Justin Timberlake, Salma Hayek, and many others came along - what a waste; I could have gone with Salma), and how they handle themselves (for instance, why was Angelina Jolie in such a bad mood?).

Once in a while, there is a good speech during the actual ceremony and this time it was Borat or Sacha Baron-Cohen. As always, the guy is not just funny in the movie, he can be funny anywhere. Watch the clip below.
