Several online sources are saying that Kelly Osbourne 25, has broken up with her model fiance Luke Worrall 20, after accusations that he was unfaithful. Apparently he cheated on her with another model. The two had begun dating in 2007 and announced their engagement last year.

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston
Former Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin has just announced that she is engaged to baby daddy Levi Johnston. Bristol 19, told US Weekly “We got engaged two weeks ago. It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents.” The reason the couple may not have the approval of the parents is that after Bristol got pregnant with Levi’s baby whom they named Tripp the couple had a falling out after his birth. Johnston went to the media to slam Sarah Palin and the family. He then went on to pose for playgirl. Bristol has gone on to become an advocate for teen pregnancy and abstinence. The couple recently reconnected while working out a custody plan for their son trip and Levi also publicly apologized to the Palin family two weeks ago. From the interview with US Weekly it sounds like mom Sarah may not even know about the engagement yet! Bristol says “It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board.” The couple say that they would like to marry as soon as possible but have not yet set a date.

How To Create Loose Waves In Your Hair Like The Celebrities

Celebrities Wavy Hair
Here are some tips and tricks on creating loose wavy hair that is very popular among the celebrities right now and isn’t about to go out of style anytime soon. You can prep your hair by first adding some mousse and letting it air dry. Tilt your head to the side and work in the mousse from the ends up, do not brush out. The time required in styling could take between 30 minutes up to an hour depending on length and thickness of your hair. If your hair is naturally curly you will want to work a straightening balm. You will want your hair to be completely dry before beginning and it helps to blow cold air at the roots to add volume. Then section your hair off into even pieces before beginning with the curling iron. You will want to use a large barrel curling iron on low heat and spritz the section of hair with a styling spray. The trick with the curling iron to create the loose waves is to simply wrap the hair loosely around the barrel do not clamp the hair in it. This allows the hair to be curled all the way the the root. Hold the curl on the curling iron for about 5-10 seconds. As you work your way through your hair alternate the direction of the curls you can do this by first putting the barrel on the top of the hair before placing it around and then alternating to the barrel at the bottom before beginning wrap the hair around. This will make the curls look more natural. Once finished you can loosen the curls with your fingers, do not brush them out and spray with a flexible hold hairspray. Don’t overdo it with the hairspray though you don’t want the curls to be crunchy.

Alexis Bellino’s Kids July 4th Pool Accident

Alexis Bellino
Reality star Alexis Bellino from Real Housewives of Orange County had a bit of a scare on the 4th of July when the stroller with her twin daughters in it went into the swimming pool. It was reported by TMZ that Alexis and Jim had left their daughters two and half year olds Melania and Mackenna in the stroller near the pool while they were off “doing something.” The story said that a lifeguard dove in and grabbed one child while husband Jim grabbed the other. Alexis has taken to her blog to defend herself. She writes
“On Sunday, July 4th, my family was leaving the Balboa Bay Club swimming pool in the late afternoon. As we were leaving, I turned to say goodbye. Our girls were in their stroller and I thought I had put the brake on, but apparently I didn’t. My husband, Jim, and I were both standing close to the stroller. Within seconds, the stroller had rolled towards the pool and a stroller wheel rolled off the edge of the pool. Before either of us could grab the stroller, a second wheel rolled off the edge, and the stroller went into the pool. Of course, Jim instantly went into the pool. He grabbed both of the girls himself and lifted both of them out of the water. Because the girls were not strapped into the stroller, and Jim was right there, their heads did not even go under water.

While we are not making light of this incident, and have been reminded to never take our eyes off the children for even a second when near water, it has been so hurtful to know how this experience has been mischaracterized in the media. To all of you who have offered your support, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Jillian isn’t happy and I’m definitely sad about the whole thing, but we’ve got to work through some things on our own if we decide to move forward.” Just last August the magazine was reporting that Ed had two girlfriends at the time Jillian chose him on the Bachelorette, but the reports had been denied by both Ed and Jillian.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan went to court today in Beverly Hills where Judge Revel sentenced the actress to 90 days in jail and 90 days in an inpatient rehabilitation center. After Lohan heard the sentence she began crying and was then given the chance to plead with the judge for understanding. Judge Revel went on to tell of her history of lies. Lohan had been treading on thin ice since October and had been warned. She later went on to do a no show to a mandatory progress review hearing in May, claiming her passport was stolen while at the Cannes Film Festival. She was fitted with a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet as a result and has been subject to random drug testing, two weeks after getting the SCRAM bracelet it was set off leading to her third arrest warrant. Although she was sentenced to 90 days in jail it is likely that she will only have to serve about a fraction of that time because of the severe overcrowding in the jails where non violent offenders are usually released early. After Lindsay serves her time in jail and in rehab she will still be on probation and be forbidden from drinking alcohol until August of 2011.

Britney Spears
A former part-time nanny for Britney Spears, Fernando Flores has contacted the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services. Flores is making claims that Britney abused her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James claiming Britney whipped one of her sons with a belt. He is also claiming that Britney fed the children food that they were allergic to which in turn made them very ill. The timing of his claims is very suspicious as he was just let go from the job a month ago. Sources close to Britney say that there are always bodyguards and nannies around and that Britney is never alone with the children. They believe Britney is just the target of a man upset by his job loss. Children Services investigated the claim as they are required to and believe it has no merit.

Men’s Dress Shirt Fashion Tips

Posted in Fashion Trends on June 23rd, 2010 by Almostfamous – Be the first to comment

Mens Dress Shirts
There is a difference between a sport shirt and a dress shirt for men. Just because it may look like a dress shirt does not mean that it is, a sport shirt will be more loosely fitted. Sport shirts can be long sleeved or short sleeved and have become increasingly popular because they can be worn with blazers, jeans, or under a v-neck sweater however they should not be treated as a proper dress shirt. A proper dress shirt is going to be more tailored and will be meant to be worn with a tie under a suit. Mens dress shirts also tend to be more expensive because the construction of them is more detailed and they are made of higher quality cottons. Here are some quick tips on how your dress shirt should fit:

  • Around the neck of the shirt it should be snug but you should still be able to fit two fingers inside.
  • The sleeve length should be about one inch above your wrist bone and this will allow about a quarter inch of the dress shirt to be seen from the sleeve of your suit.
  • Make sure the shirt does not pull uncomfortably across your chest.
  • Bend your arm and make sure that the sleeves are long enough so that they do not ride up your wrist when you move your arm.

Another thing to consider when choosing your dress shirt is the fact that most will shrink when washed so select a size that allows you a little room now for a good fit later.
