Girl Crush: Jennifer Aniston

February 12, 2009 - 2:30 pm By Leah - Ryerson University

Jennifer Aniston [There are some women out there that we just can't get out of our minds. No, we aren't switching teams - yet - but we do have some serious crushes on some pretty fierce females. These ladies are all special in their own right and we aren't ashamed to tell the world we love them.]

I’m not afraid to admit I’ve always had a crush on Jennifer Aniston. I can remember back in the day when Friends still ruled TV, I watched an interview with Jen and gal pal Courteney Cox Arquette and immediately found myself crushing. Over the years, my crush has lasted, long after the show ended.

I’m still not over that.

Aniston’s a Style Icon and always look good (even practically naked!). And, hello, she’s freaking 40. Even though she may not be the most adventurous when it comes to fashion, she dresses well for her body, and always looks classy. Plus, this girl knows how to rock a suit!

As well as being super gorgeous, she’s also really down to earth, funny, and has a contagious laugh. If you’ve ever seen her interviewed, it’s hard not to love the girl.

We all know Jennifer for her role as Rachel on Friends, and for “The Rachel,” the popular hairstyle of the 90s, but that was only the start to her uber successful career. The woman is seriously versatile. She’s played a loveable wife and mom in Marley & Me, an angry woman in The Break-Up, and got pretty serious for her role in Derailed. And let’s not forget her most recent role in the movie to avoid this Valentine’s Day — He’s Just Not That Into You. Read More »

Botox: Please Don’t Be Like Lisa Rinna

November 6, 2008 - 3:36 pm By CC Staff

The Botox and face-injecting craze has gone too far in Hollywood, and possibly in your own dermatologist’s chair. It seems like a super idea when you’re under the bright light and the doc has you mesmerized about all the ways she can make you look “better.” Listen up ladies, everyone knows where those wrinkles once outlined your mouth, so stop trying to hide them.

Botox is the second most popular prescription drug, after Viagara, and women have become addicted to the procedure. Lisa Rinna, former Melrose Place star, told In Touch that after seeing pictures of herself she realized she has gone “too far” with her surgical procedures. Ya think? She looks like a mannequin who can’t smile or blink. Freak! We all know the other celebs who are rumored to have the procedure done frequently, like Cher, Sly Stallone, Courtney Cox, Joan Rivers, Nicole Kidman, and the list goes on and on and on.

Caution: There are dangers out there! Botox isn’t something that should be debated over mildly. Here a few facts to help you in your debate to be stuck with the needle or not.

In a recent study, an active Botox toxin was injected into rats and after 72 hours the toxin was found in the rats’ brain. This is scary, especially since the toxin broke down proteins and caused damage in the brain!
The same toxin injected in the rats, botulinum toxin, has been found in humans who receive Botox injections and it spread to other parts of the body which has resulted in paralysis of respiratory muscles and difficulty swallowing.
Please know that the side effects have been reported as early as one day and as late as several weeks after treatment.
There were 16 deaths prior to January 2008. Enough said.
There are also minor side effects, like dizziness, rashes, bruising, tiredness, headache, stiffness, etc.
Do not rush into any decisions. Have a consultation with the dermatologist and then go home and think about the procedure. Do your research!
