“The youth of the soul is what matters”: Brigitte Bardot celebrates her 85th birthday

On September 28, 1934, an actress, singer and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot was born in Paris. Thanks to appearance, spontaneity and elegant manners, she gained fame as one of the main beauties of the XX century. Legends circulate about the actress’s grace (they say that the paparazzi calculated it by one gait only!), And the pretty face of the French woman was immortalized many times on canvas and in marble. When Bardo was 39, she decided to leave the movie and do animal protection. To open her own fund, the artist sold jewelry and transferred the organization to her home. “I gave my youth and my beauty to people. Now I give my wisdom and experience - the best that I have - to animals, ”Brigitte Bardot explained her decision.

People are embracing nostril hair and getting thick extensions in bizarre new trend

It's the beauty trend nobody asked for, but it's here nonetheless.

While men and women have been fighting against unruly nostril hair for generations, the latest fad seems to be incorporating nostril hair extensions into your life.

Yes, you can now kiss goodbye to the eye-watering pain of plucking and the fiddliness of trimming your nose hair.

The brave new look was first championed by Instagrammer @gret_chen_chen.

She used false eyelashes to achieve the avant guard aesthetic but we imagine if you're blessed in the nose hair department, you won't need to resort to falsies .

It did not take long for others to seize upon the look and - voila - the tag #nosehairextensions was born.

A quick glance at this tag will show you just how popular it's become.

As an aside, we're not sure how advisable it is to use eyelash glue up your nose, so that's something to be aware of.

If you're happy to just leave your nostril hair as is, here are some interesting facts.

It grows at a rate of 0.35mm per day and it's actually our friend, as it acts as one of the body's first lines of defence against environmental nasties such as spores and germs.

So, where nostril hair is concerned, could it be a case of more is more?

In case you were wondering, this is what an $8.4 million wedding looks like

As we all know, it’s not hard for wedding budgets to spiral out of control.

It starts with a longer-than-anticipated guest list. Then there’s accommodation for out-of-town relatives. The perfect but over budget wedding dress, an exorbitantly priced cake, wanting flowers that are out of season… the list goes on.

But a wedding that comes in at US$8.4 million as Folarin Alakija and Nazanin Jafarian Ghaissarifar’s did last weekend? Now that’s one hell of a commitment ceremony.

Held at Blenheim Palace (the birthplace of Winston Churchill, no less), the reception reportedly included approximately $1 million in flower arrangements created by celebrity stylist Jeff Leatham, a 3.56-metre wedding cake, a five-course sit-down menu, a performance by Robin Thicke, and naturally, a fireworks display to round out the evening.

Oh, and did we mention guests included Australian model Shanina Shaik and her partner DJ Ruckus?

Discussing the wedding with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this week, Bridebook.co.uk founder, Hamish Shephard, said, “Venue hire would likely be up to $190,000 with the bespoke marquee with marble floor and production around $250,000 on top. The spectacular endless flowers by Jeff Leatham are likely to have cost at least $256,000. With food and drink, Robin Thicke (at $190,000) and all the other items for the big day, including the dress, on top, the wedding will have no doubt cost more than $1.3 million and potentially several million more.”

But it seems Shephard’s estimation was incredibly conservative, with the final cost now being estimated at a much, much higher price tag.

According to the Daily Mail, Alakija, who is a UK-based entrepreneur and the son of a Nigerian oil tycoon, and Ghaissarifar, an Iranian-born model and bioengineer, became engaged last year.

In addition to their incredible weekend festivities, the pair also celebrated their love with a traditional Nigerian ceremony in November.

Why Gordon Ramsey never lets his kids fly first class

Gordon Ramsay is known the world over for his exquisite food and his fiery television personality. His hard work and dedication to his craft has increased his net worth to an estimated $54 million, according to Forbes.

But don’t let his money fool you. Ramsay and his wife, Tana, may enjoy a few of the finer things in life, but they are working hard to ensure their children know the value of hard work.

“I’ve never been really turned on about the money,” Ramsay recently told The Telegraph. “That’s not my number one objective, and that’s reflected in the way the kids are brought up.”

Gordon Ramsay and his family

Ramsay added that he and his wife are so strict when it comes to not spoiling their children that when they travel together, their four kids — Matilda, 15, Jack and Holly, 17, and Megan, 18 — must make the journey in coach, while their parents enjoy the high life in first class.

“They don’t sit with us in first class. They haven’t worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that. At that age, at that size, you’re telling me they need to sit in first class? No, they do not. We’re really strict on that,” he said. “I turn left with Tana and they turn right and I say to the chief stewardess, ‘Make sure those little f------ don’t come anywhere near us, I want to sleep on this plane.' I worked my f------ a--- off to sit that close to the pilot and you appreciate it more when you’ve grafted for it.”

Each child, Ramsay added, is given about $50 a week to pay for their own phones and their bus fare. In addition to financial responsibilities, each of the children also learned how to cook so they understand how to feed themselves.

“They all cook as a life skill as opposed to a career,” Ramsay said. “I never want to put that onus on them. I don’t want them with a badge, going into a kitchen [with people] thinking that’s Ramsay’s daughter or that’s Ramsay’s son.”

On top of sitting in coach and having to cook despite having a world-class chef for a father, the Ramsay kids will also have to forge their own fortunes. As Ramsay said, his money is "certainly not going to them."

"I’ve been super lucky, having that career for the last 15 years in the US. Seriously, it has earned a fortune and I’ve been very lucky, so I respect everything I’ve got," he said.

Kim Kardashian’s doctor says her bum is ‘too big’ and compares to a ‘deflated balloon’

Cosmetic surgeon Aaron Rollins is believed to have worked on 36-year-old Kim’s derrière – although she firmly denies any surgery, but says her bum is “too big”, and that people now come to him asking for her younger sister Kylie Jenner’s bottom instead.

Following the release of Kim’s un-airbrushed bikini pictures, he told The Mail Online: “Let her serve as a lesson to anyone who wants to make a body part bigger.

“If they have cellulite there before the procedure, then it will be there afterwards, too. People need to think about that or it will look bad like Kim’s.

“It’s very big, maybe too big.”

He went on to explain that how the alleged transferring of fat from Kim’s waist to her bum won’t make for cellulite free skin.

“Fat was taken from her waist and put into her bottom. But it’s transferring problem fat to another area,” said the doctor.

“Problem fat is problem fat wherever it is. It grows in the same way as it would in the place it was taken from.

“Kim has had two children, she has put on weight and then lost it, then gained it again and lost it again. It’s like blowing up a balloon and then letting the air out – there are ripples. No wonder it looks like that.”

Offering little hope to the reality queen, he added: “She has everything going against her and there is nothing she can do about it – apart from get the airbrush out.”

The mother-of-two has lost more than 100,000 Instagram followers since un-airbrushed photos from her holiday in Mexico emerged this week, sparking a media storm.

She was attacked online as trolls said the snaps of her imperfect behind – displaying some cellulite – were clearly different from airbrushed photos she often posts on social media.

Fans were quick to turn on Kim, who “broke the internet” two years ago with a picture of her balancing a glass of champagne on her bottom, for constantly flaunting her “fake body parts”.

Kim, who still has 98.8million followers on Instagram, ranted at the global furore.

She said: “I’ve seen perspective is a b****. I’ll work on taking videos with better lighting & angles. F*** you.” She deleted the post one minute later.

Happy Birthday! Jack Nicholson Turns 79 Today

Today is actor Jack Nicholson’s birthday.

Considered one of the best actors of several generations, Nicholson’s award-winning career is highlighted by several iconic performances. No performance may be more iconic, however, than Nicholson’s role as The Joker in Tim Burton’s Batman. In a celebrated turn as the Clown Prince of Crime, many fans cite Nicholson’s Joker as one of their favorites.

But just as he’s synonymous with the Joker, Nicholson is equally known as Jack (or Johnny) from Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Shining. As the axe-wielding psychopath, Nicholson and his performance have been referenced by several different films and actors. Heck, he turned a line of dialogue into a catch-phrase. Nicholson has also held memorable roles in The Departed, Mars Attacks, Chinatown, and As Good As It Gets.

Born in New York City, Nicholson turns 79 today. Happy Birthday, Jack Nicholson.
