Puckered Getting a Make Over

Sorry for not posting for a while. The team at Puckered are currently "renovating" the Puckered blog so that we can bring you all the best news and information about the beauty industry.

The original plan for Puckered was to bring honest reviews and opinions about beauty products and stores as well as the latest news and happenings in the beauty and fashion industry. Along the way we got a little sidetracked by the glitz and glam of the world of celebrities and found ourselves posting more about that than what we had intended.

Please bear with us and keep checking back soon for the version of Puckered we had originally planned.

Thank you.

Eva Longoria & Her Guests Good As Gold

Newlyweds Eva Longoria and Tony Parker presented all the female guests at their Paris wedding on Saturday (07 July 07) with 18 karat gold bracelets. The Desperate Housewives actress, 32, and French basketball ace, 25, wed in civil ceremony on Friday (06 July 07), before celebrating their union in a religious service and a reception in the 17th century Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte the following day. The female guests at the wedding, which included Longoria’s Desperate Housewives castmates Teri Hatcher, Nicollette Sheridan, Felicity Huffman and Brenda Strong, actress Jessica Alba and singer Sheryl Crow, received the delicate bracelets from Van Cleef & Arpels’ Sweet Alhambra range as a thank you for flying across the Atlantic for the French wedding. The wedding party included Longoria’s actor pal Mario Lopez - who served as an usher - and Parker’s French pal, soccer ace Thierry Henry, who was a groomsman. Lopez tells America’s People magazine, "It was so great - such a fun wedding. It’s been one event after another. I’m tired."

Drew Barrymore - "Being Slim Is Tough"

Drew Barrymore had to sweat for hours in the gym and starve herself in a bid to slim down. The Charlie’s Angles actress is sporting a new trimmer figure, and she insists was far from easy to achieve. The 32-year-old tells Vogue, "I wish it was easier. I wish I could eat pasta and never lift a finger." But now she’s slimmer - Barrymore is reaping the rewards: "I was always thinking you can’t wear sleeveless or strapless and you can’t wear knee-length or, God forbid - a mini. I was like, well, no wonder you’re in jeans and a T-shirt every day."

Paris Hilton - Pants On Fire

Paris Hilton's pants must be on fire because she's a big fat liar. In her interview with Larry King on Wednesday night she admitted that she had never taken drugs. Not true. Maybe taking all those drugs has caused her to loose her memory.

Some of Paris' home video's which she has shot over the past couple of years have landed on a website which is charging $20 per month to subscribe and watch these videos.

In the videos she is shown doing and talking about drugs with sister Nicky and a former boyfriend Jason Shaw and others.

The Smoking Gun has some of these videos. Click here to watch them.

Britney Spears - Not Again! Just put your boobs away!

Well, she's done it again. I really don't know what she's thinking....i don't know what to say but I think these pictures speak for themselves....

These were taken as Britney left club Josephs on Sunday night. Why, oh why, does she want to look like a stripper? She then stripped down to her bra and got some Carl's Jr drive-thru. BUT it doesn't end there. She then asked the paparazzi if they had any shots of Paris Hilton leaving prison. Then after they showed her they shots they had taken of her, she took their camera and took some pictures of them! I would just be sooo embarrased if she was my mom...poor kids.

Jessica Biel Is Smokin' Hot in GQ

Jessica Biel looks absolutely gorgeous in these pictures taken for GQ magazine, and it's now not hard to understand why she was recently voted the Sexiest Woman Alive in 2005 by Esquire magazine. Here is a quote from her GQ interview:

“At first I felt really embarrassed about it. You know, it’s a weird thing to talk about. Like, ‘Hey, guys. Guess what?’ You don’t just go telling everybody that. But after I got over that, I just started to embrace it. I started thinking, If I ever do have kids, and if they have kids, I can tell them: ‘You know what? Your grandma in 2000-and-whatever was the Sexiest Woman Alive. How about that, kids?’ That’s what I started to think about. I’ll always have that picture to say, ‘That’s what Granny used to look like.’ ”

Keira Knightly Eats Like A Horse

Keira Knightly has a friend on side in Sienna Miller, who insists that Keira Knightly just eats and eats and eats and then eats some more. I figure, if they keep going on about it they've got something to hide. I don't see why they always have to say "I eat so much and eat lots of junk food and burgers and chips"...etc. If they don't have a problem, why keep going on about it?

"Sienna Miller has blasted critics who believe fellow actress Keira Knightly suffers from anorexia, insisting she eats "like a horse".The Pirates Of The Caribbean beauty was a source of constant speculation earlier this year (07) when she appeared thinner than usual.But Miller, who has befriended Knightley on the set of their latest film The Edge of Love, insists her co-star is happy and healthy.She says, "She eats like a horse. She always asks for seconds and loves her apple crumble. There’s no way she has an eating problem. "She is a really good friend of mine, she is a wonderful girl. Eats like a pig for everyone out there who calls her anorexic."

Bruce Willis Is Just A Fuddy Duddy

So, all this time Bruce Willis tries to look all hip and cool when really, this piece of gossip really just shows his age....

"Bruce Willis has difficulty grasping modern technology and relies on his children to teach him the workings of a computer. The actor - who tackles Internet terrorism in the fourth installment of the Die Hard movies - admits he is useless when it comes to mastering modern technology. He says, "My kids know much more about computers. I’m still learning how to use my Blackberry (cell phone). My children help me with all my computer needs. I think of myself as somewhat savvy on the computer, but any problems I just ask my 13-year-old daughter."

What Did Gwen Stefani Want To Be When She Grew Up?

Gwen Stefani has spoken about when she used to be a make up artist before she was famous. It seems it's her hidden passion and something she'd like to do after she's had enough of performing.

"Pop star Gwen Stefani would happily return to her previous job as a make-up artist if her musical career ever ended. The Sweet Escape singer - who, with her rocker husband Gavin Rossdale and baby son Kingston, was voted Hollywood’s Best Looking Family last month (May07) - admits she preferred make-up to toys as a youngster and loved her brief stint as a make-up artist. She says, "I was always the girl, who after school everyday would say, ‘Ask your mom if we can play with her make-up’. And then we’d do that for about four hours." I would burn everybody with the and do make-overs on everyone." I was a make-up artist in a mall when I was 17 so it’s always something I’ve been into."

Would you like Gwen to do your make up...?

Who Would Stand Up Katherine Heigl?

Katherine Heigl, star of Grey's Anatomy, has revealed how she was stood up by Steven Seagal.....when she was 15.

PR-Inside gave us the full story:

Steven Seagal once flew Katherine Heigl to Los Angeles and put her up in a luxurious hotel so they could get to know each other before shooting Under Siege 2, only to never show up. Heigl, who was only 15 at the time, was amazed action star Seagal went to the expense of flying her across America from her home in Connecticut to the Beverly Wilshire hotel for no reason. She says, "He flew me in, put me up at this extravagant hotel where (Julia Roberts in) Pretty Woman stayed, and didn’t even come and meet me. Whatever. "I was hanging out at the pool all day, going shopping with my mom. I was dating Joey Lawrence at the time and we got to see a couple of movies. Good times."

Ellen Barken Didn't Get It On With George Clooney

Ellen Barkin has put her foot in her mouth trying to be funny and it has backfired on her. Claiming to have had sex with her Ocean's 13 co-star, George Clooney, she is now denying it. Why wouldn't you want people to think you've slept with George Clooney. Milk it while you can Ellen!

"Ellen Barkin insists she was joking when she declared she had had sex with her Ocean’s Thirteen co-star George Clooney. Barkin’s humour backfired in the media when she declared, "Yes, I have fucked George Clooney," at the American Cinematheque Awards last October (06). Months later, Barkin is stunned so many people took her joke seriously and she is still being asked about her reported romance with the acting hunk. She says, "Clearly (it was a joke). I think you had to be in the room and hear the peals of laughter. Certainly, I think, if it wasn’t a joke, I wouldn’t have said it."

After meeting on the set of an upcoming film, the pair began dating in secret and are still trying desperately to keep their relationship under wraps. However, they have been out and about in California, subtly confirming that they are officially together. According to reports, the pair met up after a doctor's visit in Culver City, California. A source told Us Weekly that Jake arrived to meet his new girlfriend. The insider reveals, "Jake put his hand out of the sunroof and was waving. They looked totally in love." A friend of the "Donnie Darko" star says that the actor is very content with his new love. The pal said, "Jake said he's found someone who knows how to look out for both of them, and not just themselves. Reese is more attentive than anyone else he knows." Reese is currently in the process of divorcing first husband Ryan and sorting out custody of their two children, Ava and Deacon".

Cameron Diaz - Say No To Plastic Surgery

Although Cameron Diaz has undergone plastic surgery herself, she doesn't understand why people want to have plastic surgery to change their looks. Well, we can't all be perfect and I'm sure if we all looked liked Cameron Diaz plastic surgeons would go out of business.

The full story:

"Hollywood star CAMERON DIAZ cannot understand why people want to have plastic surgery to change their looks, because she believes going under the knife "destroys" a person’s character.The Charlie’s Angels actress was forced to have her nose fixed last year (06) after she started to experience breathing problems, but insists she will never choose to alter her features, even when she grows older.She says, "Urgh! Have you seen those shows where ordinary people want to look like Britney Spears or Brad Pitt? What on earth possesses them to want to destroy their own character? To go under the knife to do that, well, it’s sick."I had to have work on my nose for a deviated septum, but I would never do anything else. I think beauty comes from inside. When I see women who have had plastic surgery I find it unnerving. All I can see is the surgery. The person who has had it has vanished. I don’t want to look like that."

"Pop superstar KYLIE MINOGUE reportedly stunned partygoers at an event in the French city of Cannes last week (ends25May07), when she publicly declared her love of her "black girl’s butt". The Spinning Around hitmaker is said to have giggled as she danced and compared her derriere to that of Beyonce Knowles and Latina singer/actress Jennifer Lopez at the Dolce & Gabbana party, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror. She is reported to have said: "Look at my butt. I’ve got a great black girl’s butt, kinda like Beyonce and J.Lo. I may be from Australia but I think I must have some blackness in me." You’ll never hear me wishing I had a smaller butt. The bigger the better." And Minogue, who battled breast cancer last year (06), is proud to have "curves in the right places". She added, "I love having curves - forget these skinny girls. I love feeling feminine and womanly - being curvy in all the right places is part of that."

Avril & Hilary - Do They Even Know Why They Hate Each Other...

Allie Is Wired has the latest goss on a feud that's brewing between Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff.

"Avril Lavigne is still feuding with Hilary Duff. The two went to great lengths to make sure they didn’t run into each other at last week’s Maxim Hot 100 Party at the Hotel Gansevoort. Even though handlers scheduled their arrivals at separate times the pair still ran into each other on the red carpet. From Metro New York magazine:The situation created some “definite tension,” and not long afterwards, an upset Avril was “threatening to take off” and “driving everyone crazy.”

Do they even remember why they are fighting? Probably not....

Teri Hatcher Bathes In Wine

Hollyscoop got the scoop on Teri Hatcher’s drinking habits.

“One thing you probably didn't know about Teri Hatcher is that she bathes in wine. The actress admits that she makes use of wine she doesn't drink by bathing in it. She explains, "When you're alone you open a bottle of wine and then it's not really good after four or five days. This make-up chemist that I know was talking about all the good properties in wine - antioxidants and stuff, exfoliating qualities - and she said, `Never throw it out, dump it in your bath.'"

Britney Does The Diva

Britany Spears had a case of the Diva on a flight to Miami when they didn’t have the leather seats that she wanted.

TMZ reported “Her hair may be growing back, but that didn't stop Britney Spears from wigging out Friday night on a flight from L.A. to Miami. Page Six reports that the shorn singer flipped out when her United Airlines jet didn't have the fine leather seats she wanted. Spears' fellow passenger Tony Sanchez reported that Spears freaked, saying, "I don't want to fly on this plane. It hasn't got leather seats," and demanded that the crew let her disembark just minutes before takeoff. The captain eventually relented, and allowed the pop tart off the plane, much to the annoyance of other waiting passengers.”

Keith Urban - Did He Drink It?

Keith Urban flew into South Australia on Sunday to continue the Australia leg of his tour. Upon arrival the recovering alcohol was presented with a bottle of wine as a gift from Airline Qantas.

The Daily Telegraph reported “He was seeing the funny side as he related the story to stunned Adelaide concert goers, who were all well aware of his recent three-month stint in an American rehab clinic. "I knew I was back in South Australia when the host came up to me, smiled, gave me a bottle of red and said welcome to Adelaide Mr Urban," he told the packed Adelaide Entertainment Centre. " .... so I drank it," he told his fans, who laughed along with him.

Urban's manager Rob Potts yesterday moved to reassure fans that the country star was only joking. "He didn't drink it at all," Mr Potts said. Urban was recently treated for alcohol abuse shortly after marrying Nicole Kidman.
