The stars bare it all! No make up!

I know you all idolize your favorite stars. They’re so beautiful. You’d love to look just like them. Right?

Did you ever suspect that Rosanna Arquette looked like this under her make up?

Isn’t that scary?

I’m realistic. I know stars age.

However you always hear about them going to this spa and that spa, getting treatments and dermabrasion and such and such a Cosmetic Surgeons office and so on, so while they might have wrinkles as they age (not if they use botox of course), if you’re like me, you’d at least think their skin would be even toned and lovely wouldn’t you?

That’s what I find so terrible about this photo, it’s her skin. She looks tired and unhealthy.

Then there’s J Lo … I don’t think she really looks too bad here, but she does look quite a bit different without her makeup on, now doesn’t she?

Bollywood hits Toronto

by Tricia

The hottest Bollywood movie out of India, Guru, premiered Thursday night in Toronto, Canada. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, the stars of the film, and the new Brad and Angelina of the Indian community.

Arpana Vora declared that the couple were “Absolutely gorgeous. Both of them. Just stunning!”, moments after the darling duo was whisked along the red carpet and into the screening.

Rai, who wore a white sari, and Bachchan, who donned a black suit and headband, were several hours late for the gala because of flight schedules and didn’t stop for questions. The delay built momentum at Toronto’s historic Elgin Theatre where the crowd of approximately 1,200 fans stood screaming on the sidewalk behind barriers for 6 hours. Yet another 1,200 filmgoers were already inside the theater.

The films producers chose Toronto for the premiere after receiving an impressive response for “Never Say Goodbye” which was another Bollywood film. That film had premiered at The Toronto International Film Festival this past September. The Gala crowd out numbered that for Brad Pitts film Babel.

“The South Asian community is very important to our city and so is the film industry. Bollywood brings them together,” said Mayor David Miller as he walked into the screening.

Producer Bobby Bedi (“Bandit Queen,” “Fire”) said at the premiere he chose Toronto for his premiere because it “by far is one most cosmopolitan city in the world.”

“Guru” is loosely based on the life of a young man who rose from poverty in a small Indian village in the 1950s to defy the odds and become a major textile merchant. In the film version, the character of Gurukant Desai (Bachchan) employs unethical methods to achieve his materialistic goals but does what he has to do to crack a market firmly controlled by the rich and privileged.

Rai – who has been described as giving Halle Berry strong competition for the unofficial title of most beautiful woman in the world – plays his wife Sujatha.

“She was stunning. Stunning. Very beautiful,” said Adesh Vora after he caught a glimpse of Rai. Looking at his wife though, he hesitated to concur that Rai is the most beautiful woman on Earth.

“My wife is number one,” he said.

Puppy Love

by Tricia

Everyone loves puppies don’t they? I know that I do! Well I just came across a company called Europuppy that’s located in Budapest, Hungary. They provide people around the world and Central Europe with purebred puppies.

Another interesting piece of news about this company is that Europuppy has been serving the US Military since 2003, sponsoring the Stars and Stripes Newspapers pet directory. Many US service men and woman stationed overseas in Europe have used Europuppy’s services to purchase a new puppy for their home.

Europuppy has dog breeds from the tops European lines, and they are proud of their reputation of providing healthy high quality puppies to homes and businesses around the world. The company works with a select group of breeders from across Europe, and visit the breeders personally to ensure that the puppy breeders are raising the dogs in healthy conditions.

When I looked through the Europuppy.com Dogs for Sale section I discovered that they have just about every single breed that I could think of. They even have Rhodesian Ridgeback’s, a breed that I just love! Not only that, but when you go through their directory of dogs for sale, finding a breed that you prefer, and one that actually does have some puppies for sale you’ll see that they also provide breed information- discussing things like size, activity levels, and temperament so that you can select a breed of dog that suits your life style.

For example, some dogs just do not go well with children because of their size and or temperament. Wouldn’t it be better for both you, your family, and the dog if you knew that in advance?

I really like that the site has so much information, and such a variety of dog breeds for sale. Check it out if you are a dog lover looking for a particular breed.

I don’t think I’ve told my readers here that I write several blogs. One of the blogs that I write is called “Watching House” and it’s on the 451press.com network of blogs.

You see, 451press is a new network of blogs. I believe the network began in October with a call for writers for various blog topics. I answered a call for new bloggers in late November and I was signed on to write my Watching House blog that discusses the TV show House M.D..

I do write ups of House, show recaps, discuss various aspects of the show and the stars that play each character. I also spend a lot of time writing about the gorgeous Hugh Laurie and his life outside of the show.

I’m not quite sure just how many blogs are in our network now but I believe it’s well over 100 blogs. I’m sure that if you come to visit you’ll find several blogs on topics from your favorite TV shows, Favorite Celebrities, Home and Garden, Books, Sports and leisure and many other categories that you’d be pleased to read and leave a comment on for your chance to win $500.
