"I am a very sexless person:" Kangana Ranaut

In all her movies she has exposed and stripped with no inhibitions. From Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Metro, Fashion to her latest Raaz – The Mystery Continues, Kangana has effortlessly done that. So it's but natural if people think that Kangana wishes to flaunt a blatant sexy image. But the dame begs to differ.

She's been saying, "Even though I have worn fewer clothes, I don't think I look vulgar. I am a very sexless person. I have never tried to create a sexy image of myself. From the very first day, I have been clear about my objectives. I am an actress and I am here to do my job."

So basically she means to say that though she sheds her clothes, she doesn't compromise with her acting. That's not the only thing that Kangana denies. She says that there are no differences between her and her boyfriend Adhyayan's dad Shekhar Suman.

She said, "Nothing serious happened on that particular day and the media has just spiced up the entire issue. The argument took place between Shekhar and Mohit (Suri) and the media had unnecessarily drag her name to make the news spicier."

Kangana sure knows how to be a part of controversies and spice up her life. She's already done a good job of it. No wonder she's survived so well in B-Town.

Kate Hudson's X-rated confession

Kate Hudson watches hardcore pornography.

The single actress - who is divorced from Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson - relieves her sexual frustration by watching X-rated films.

When asked if she has been watching soft pornography now she hasn't got a partner, Kate joked, "What are you talking about? I go right for the hard stuff!"

Kate, 29, is comfortable talking about sex and recently admitted she finds monogamy difficult because she is "ruled" by her "sexual energy".

The 29-year-old actress - who has a four-year-old son Ryder with Chris - said, "I got into this very controversial discussion once. I was married at the time and I was asked, 'Do you think monogamy is possible?' And I said, 'No, I don't think we are made to be monogamous, we are animals.'

"If you have that personality, it's never going to go away because you are ruled by your sexual energy."

Early in January, Hudson laughed off internet reports that she was spotted kissing a woman in Miami.

"A girlfriend called me and said, 'Are you making out with girls now?' I was like, 'What are you taking about?'"

"No, no, no," she added. "Strictly boys for me!"

-- sure, makes perfect sense.

Sat in special "High Performance Organization" training today, the first of a 3-day seminar. It actually was pretty interesting -- the speaker is good and made his points in a well-thought-out manner. Still, I could not resist the urge to capture the moment when he finished scribbling furiously and gazed back at his nonsensical doodle, asking, "Make sense?"

Um, makes perfect sense. Isn't it obvious?

Because we saw him draw all the various parts as he was telling stories, it's not as bad as it seems but still made me laugh.

And then because I only got 5 hours of sleep (1-6am), I sketched out a rough cartoon of my state at that exact moment, hunched over coffee:

Me, today. I specialize in the human train-wreck look.

And now this train-wreck is going to crash....

Take 5!

Everyone needs a 5 Minute Face! This is my mantra as a makeup artist. If you can just give yourself the gift of 5 minutes, you can change your attitude, confidence level and take on the day with more conviction.

But first you need to do a little spring-cleaning…

Open your makeup bag and evaluate your products. Are you carrying around 10 different eye shadows? 14 lip glosses? A couple of powder compacts? Do you mix matte with sparkle? How many types of eyeliner are in your bag? How many lip liners? Are your brushes buried in the bottom of your bag getting all contaminated?

No wonder you are having time management issues during your morning routine!

If your bag is busting at the seams (and I mean you can’t even get the zipper closed) then you need to decide which products “make up” your 5 Minute Face and place those in your makeup bag. Then clean out a drawer in your bathroom or grab an extra makeup bag (one of those bags you got from a department store gift with purchase special) and put all the rest of your makeup in there for easy access.

Pro suggestions for an instant 5 Minute Face:

1. Prep your face using your skin care and primer.

2. Foundation/Tinted Moisturizer with SPF and great pigmentation. This is a dual- purpose product – meaning it can be used all over face or to spot concealer on the days when you don’t want to wear a full face of foundation. See archive post Laying the Foundation for my recommendations.

3. Concealer - if you are using a tinted moisturizer or a light coverage liquid or powder foundation you may find that you need a little extra coverage on certain days. I recommend using MAC concealers.

4. Powder (compact or loose is a personal preference, but a compact is easier and keeps the bag neat – no spillage). I recommend MAC Mineralize Powder or MAC Blot Powder. A great drug store find is L’Oreal’s True Match Powder compact.

5. Quad palette containing 4 shades of neutral matte powder shadow that can be used on the eyes, cheeks, brows, contour and highlight. I recommend Tricia Sawyer Beauty's Essential Palette. You only need to use one color of eye shadow for the 5 Minute Face from lid to brow in a vanilla shade.

6. Bronzer - I recommend Nars Bronzing Powder or Benefit's Hoola Bronzer.

7. Lip gloss in pink, peach or nude. I recommend Sally Hansen’s Lip Inflation or L’Oreal’s Infallible line – great colors with amazing staying power!

8. Mascara – blackest black. I recommend Dior Show or CoverGirl’s Lash Blast Luxe

Note: You can create the same look above using crème shadows, blushers, liners or lipsticks and feel free to throw in a great eyeliner pencil and/or lip liner if you prefer. For time crunch purposes, I remove my liners from my bag of tricks and use the darkest powder eye shadow from the quad palette to line my eyes. Lip liner is, as Heidi Klum would say, so “out” these days, but if you don’t follow trends then toss it in your bag.

Below is a photograph my 5 Minute Face and a picture of the products in my makeup bag I use to achieve this look!



Time for a little Q & A….

Amy S. wants to know:
I love using sparkle – can I use an iridescent eye shadow instead of a matte color when doing my 5 Minute Face?

Pro suggests:
Hi Amy! Of course you can use an eye shadow with more shimmer or frost if you prefer – just remember to make it a neutral color like MAC’s Ricepaper, Jest, Motiff or Naked Lunch. MAC can also make you a quad palette of shadows and their components/packaging are recyclable!

Alexis W. wants to know:
Is a quad palette necessary or can I use individual color?

Pro suggests:
Hi Alexis! A quad palette is simply a way to keep several colors in your makeup bag neatly in one container. The Tricia Sawyer Beauty’s Essential Palette is a mixture of matte colors that look great on all skin tones and the colors can be used as shadow, liner, blush and brow filler – eliminating the need to carry all of those individual products in your bag. Great for travel!

'Art' star Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson sees herself as "art".

The former 'Baywatch' actress recently starred in a new advertising campaign for legendary British designer Vivienne Westwood, and claims the experience has changed how people view her.

Vivienne asked Pamela, 41, to appear in the campaign after the pair met at her Spring/Summer 09 show in London last September

She said: "Yesterday I was considered soft porn, but today I am art. I have an eclectic group of friends. I like people who can feed your soul."

Vivienne asked Pamela, 41, to appear in the campaign after the pair met at her Spring/Summer 09 show in London last September.

They immediately hit it off, and Pamela admits shooting the adverts was one of the best experiences of her life.

She said: "It was one of my top 10 moments. But I've had maybe 20 top 10 moments."

The pictures were shot over just one day in Los Angeles - the process should have taken three days but the outfits were held up in customs - but rather than getting stressed, the couple were determined to have fun.

Pamela explained: "I don't think I converted Vivienne to beach life, but we did lots of hair swinging. She got really into it."

Emma Watson's sexy confusion

Emma Watson finds being called sexy "embarrassing and confusing".

The 18-year-old actress - who plays Hermione in the 'Harry Potter' film franchise - does not want to be known for her looks, and has no interest in starring in raunchy photo-shoots.

I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt

She said: "I find the whole concept of being 'sexy' embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe.

"Then there's the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that's not me. I feel uncomfortable. I'd never go out in a mini-skirt. It's nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn't do that."

Emma adds she does not think women needs to dress in revealing clothes to look attractive, adding it often has the opposite effect.

She explained: "Personally, I don't actually think it's even that sexy. What's sexy about saying, 'I'm here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I've got'? My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder."

Mischa Barton in Love Cheat Claims

Mischa Barton has found herself caught up in a love triangle, with reports suggesting the Kooks front man Luke Pritchard is not the only man in her life.

The former O.C. star has been dating the British rocker since December (08), but has reportedly also been linked to DJ and club promoter Tom Wright.

He's convinced they are an item but is panicking after seeing Mischa and Luke holding hands. He feels he might have to have Mischa on a tighter leash.

Wright was said to have been less than impressed when he saw snaps of Barton out with Pritchard, with a pal telling British tabloid News of the World that he feels he's being made a fool of.
