Justin Bieber, Katy Perry & More Use Proactiv — Now See How That Brand And Others Give YOU One-On-One Star-Style Treatment!

Justin Bieber, one of Proactiv’s many celebrity faces, claims, “I’m definitely someone who suffers from acne.” But unlike the boy wonder, we don’t all have access to a professional’s help right when we need it.

There are times when browsing through product after product by ourselves can get frustrating. You don’t have the time or money to make an appointment with a professional to give you individual advice. Companies have been catching on and they decided that you no longer have to be a VIP to be treated like one.

In the skincare industry, Proactiv is offering Proactiv 365 Care and Support, Every Minute, Every Day, a convenient 24-hour support program that is a cheap and easy alternative to pricey dermatologist appointments. A doctor-trained Skin Care Advisor is available at all times to answer questions and customize skin regimens—without the hassle!

Got the perfect skin and now wishing you had the perfect makeup? The world of beauty quickly responded to the personalized trend. Nordstrom eliminates the guesswork of picking the perfect beauty products by providing free Beauty Stylists. But here’s the best part: the service runs across all their cosmetic brands. Department store beauty buys are easy if you know the brand you’re looking for, but you can’t exactly ask the Estee Lauder associate to recommend you a lipstick outside of her company. That’s where the beauty stylist comes in — with no discrimination towards any particular brand, that beauty stylist’s only concern is which product is perfect for you. They even offer online beauty advice on Live Chat!

Other stores such as CVS and Target-that carry slightly more affordable items- have been offering similar beauty advisors to help navigate through their many aisles of products.

Even celebrity nutritionist Dr. Oz Garcia is jumping on the interactive bandwagon. OZe is his new personalized program that costs $1 a day to shed weight and get healthy with direct access to Oz Garcia himself!

What do you think, Hollywoodlifers? Dermatologist, beauty attendant and a nutritionist’s service all at your fingertips sound too good to be true? Vote below!

Maci, Leah, and Kailyn, all 19, give an update about their lives today, their babies’ fathers and their hopes for the future. So we’re sure Leah will talk about her divorce from Corey Simms, as Maci addresses her new life with beau, Kyle King. And you can be sure Kailyn will rant and rave about her baby daddy, Jo Rivera!

Of course, Maci’s son Bentley, 2, Leah’s twins, Aleeah and Aliannah, 1, and Kailyn’s son Isaac, 1, will be there to support their mamas! And Maci’s mom, Sharon, and Leah’s mom, Dawn, will also make an appearance on the show to discuss roles as parents to teenage moms.

The main question Dr. Oz raises is: ‘Is Teen Mom teaching prevention or glamorizing teenage pregnancy’? What do YOU think?

Hey HollyMoms, Would You Try The Baby Food Diet To Lose Weight?

Hollywood Life Staff — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 12:30:06 +0000

Does your little one like mashed bananas and strained prunes? Well, some famous women (including Gwyneth Paltrow) have been chowing down on baby food in the hopes of losing a few pounds.

In Hollywood it seems you can never be too thin, which means that stars are often the first ones to jump on the fad diet bandwagon. From cayenne pepper and maple syrup cleanses to slurping cabbage soup, we thought we’d heard it all. But now a lot of A-list ladies — including Lady Gaga and Gwyneth Paltrow — have reportedly been on the baby food diet, which was popularized by celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson. Why on earth would so many stars be delving into these jars of slop? According to Anderson, the baby food helps “eliminate toxicity, break bad habits but still have your digestive system going.”

The diet is all about cutting calories and learning portion control. Instead of eating normal meals and snacks, you’re supposed to substitute 14 jars of 80-calorie baby food. The good news is that you actually get to chew on one real meal a day.

Catt Sandler, host of E!’s The Daily 10, swears that she dropped 5 pounds thanks to the puree. “I had more nutrient rich food going into my body than I ever had,” says the 35-year-old single mother, about eating 10, three-to-five ounce containers of pureed gazpacho, edamame sweet corn and cauliflower a day. “The assumption is that these girls are starving themselves! It was the opposite for me. Everything I ate was packed with vitamins. My energy was up the whole time.”

Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston and Desperate Housewives‘ star Marcia Cross, 48, aren’t so excited about reports that they were eating baby food — both have denied trying the diet. “I’ve been on solids for about 40 years now,” says Jen, 41.

Marcia Cross’ twin girls are stealing her style.

Meanwhile, experts say that the diet isn’t dangerous on a short-term basis. “There is no danger in cutting back calories unless you begin to cut back excessively and sacrifice nutrients doing so,” says Dr. Oz Garcia. “With the baby food diet you are not sacrificing nutrition.”
