But the article’s vocabulary isn’t the only baffling thing about it. In the piece, author Shane Watson proposes that all women have a “fashion sex,” a sort of gendered style that comes naturally to them.

Confused? So was I. Watson tries to explain herself by pinpointing the “fashion sexes” of some celebrities: “Anyone can see that Scarlett Johansson is a Girl, who should stick to asset-flaunting bodycon dresses” (whatever those are), she writes, while Kristen Stewart is “a tomboy through and through” whose outfits should never clash with her “natural urge to look a bit rough, undone, cool and … boyish.” Madonna is another celeb who Watson classifies as boyish: her “DNA is probably 12% bloke — in a good way. It’s the reason she looks like a man in drag in a pussy-bow blouse, but fabulously hot in a pair of chaps,” Watson writes.

I guess what this really means is that, according to Watson, women are innately either traditionally feminine, a little more hard-edged (read: manly), or androgynous. These traits are “non-negotiable,” she says, meaning that an inherently girly girl should never wear “the leather trousers, jacket and peaked-cap look” that serves Catherine Zeta-Jones so ill in the picture that accompanies the article.

Of course, the thing is that in that picture, Zeta-Jones doesn’t look uncomfortable or inappropriate. She’s Catherine-frickin’-Zeta-Jones—even if she hasn’t made a good movie since winning a Best Supporting Actress for Chicago, one thing she does have going for her is that she’s still one of the most beautiful women on the planet (and a very lucrative deal with T-Mobile). I think she would probably look smoking even if she was wearing a burlap sack and one of those big, furry Russian hats.

The notion of fashion sex is totally ludicrous; having short hair or, in Stewart’s case, a curiously surly demeanor (does that girl just not know how to smile?) doesn’t make a woman un-feminine—look at a pixie-haired Halle Berry in that famous Oscars dress, for just one example of why Watson is completely wrong. Hell, even K-Stew looked pretty, classy and, dare I say, comfortably girly at last week’s Oscars. So-called “boyish” types can look great wearing frilly dresses, and so-called “girly” types can look amazing in jeans and distressed Chucks.

Every girl should wear whatever she wants without fear that she’s somehow going against “type,” whatever that means. There’s no sense in pigeonholing yourself to just one kind of look, especially if you’re only doing it because some crazy British lady thinks you should.

Everyone’s got their celebrity/iconic role models. Some look up to Hillary Clinton for being such a strong, empowered woman. Some look up to Lady Gaga for being who she is, regardless of what other people think. Some may even look up to Tyra for proving that crazy people can get famous too.

Personally, I think all of those women are great (or crazy, in the case of the last one), but I have my own role models, whom I look up to for something very near and dear to my heart: sex. These women are all confident, beautiful, and not afraid to talk about sex. I have invited each of these women into my bedroom (their attitudes, at least)  and each has helped me enjoy sex and my own sexuality a whole lot more.

Halle Berry

Quote: “I’ve learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I’m not all about frequency. I favor intensity.”

Why She Rocks: She knows good sex and isn’t afraid to ask for it.

How She Inspired Me: I don’t have to be afraid of my sexuality; it’s OK for me to have needs and do what I can to fulfill them.

Jada Pinkett-Smith

Quote: “My husband and I always make time for sex! Always! No matter how busy we are. And if I told you the places! You would not even believe! It’s crazy the risks that we take, but that’s what keeps it so much fun.”

Why She Rocks: She proves that committed people don’t have to have boring sex lives.

How She Inspired Me: It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day stuff in a relationship, but Jada reminded me that we gotta make time to spice things up, otherwise things can go down hill quickly.

Meryl Streep

Quote: “The whole idea that you have to look a certain way and be a certain age to earn love is ridiculous. We love what we love. It doesn’t matter what shape it is. It’s thrilling to see real people on screen.”

Why She Rocks: She’s still doing sex scenes at 60 and she’ll probably be doing them for years to come.

How She Inspired Me: We’re all sexy – no matter what shape, size or age – and we just always need to remember that.

Goldie Hawn

Quotes (from Kate Hudson): “My parents always said, ‘Sex is the best thing in the world…When you start having it you’re going to love it. But it’s that much better when you love somebody, so just remember that.’”

“People think that you can put your sexual life on hold [after having a baby], but you have to find time for it. Without that relationship, our family is broken. My mom really implanted that in me when I was pregnant.”

Why She Rocks: If only all parents could be as open about discussing sex with their kids, maybe we wouldn’t have such high teen pregnancy and STD rates.

How She Inspired Me: No, Goldie didn’t have me running to my parents to ask about their sex lives. But she did get me to stop, take a moment, and appreciate sex for the beautiful, powerful and awesome thing that it can be.

Angelina Jolie

Quotes: “Honestly, I like everything. Boyish girls, girlish boys, the thick, the thin. Which is a problem when I’m walking down the street.”

“All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of, like, what’s sexy or cool or tough.”

“You’re young, you’re drunk, you’re in bed, you have knives; sh*t happens…”

Why She Rocks: Angelina is one celebrity who was never afraid to speak honestly about her sex life, no matter how strange other people found it, and I admire her for that. She’s also remained sexy and confident while managing to be a great mom to six kids.

How She Inspired Me: Sometimes I’m afraid to try new things in the bedroom, but if Angelina can do it (and snag Brad Pitt), why not me?

Scarlett Johansson

Quote: “I’ve never had sex with Benicio Del Toro in a lift. It was a sarcastic quote that I unfortunately gave to a journalist. I said: ‘Apparently, Benicio Del Toro and I had sex in an elevator. He printed it, then all the tabloids took out the word ‘apparently’. I’ll be answering that question for the rest of my life.”

Why She Rocks: If only the Benicio story were true…

How She Inspired Me: I assume she’s had sex with Ryan Reynolds in an elevator without anyone finding out and that’s something I’ve always wanted to do…

All year long I look forward to award show season, the best time to see my favorite celebs hitting the red carpet looking all kinds of fabulous. Sure, I love seeing who wins the awards and what the “experts” consider the best movie of the year, but everyone knows the best thing about these award shows is checking out what everyone is wearing.

What a celebrity wears on the red carpet is usually the most important thing she can wear all year. It’s always fun to point out the what-was-she-THINKING? outfits, but looking at the most gorgeous dresses is always a pleasure that everyone can indulge in. That is exactly why the majority of the female population (myself included) will be sitting in front of the TV tomorrow night with a bowl of popcorn, drooling over each beautiful dress that struts by.

So who will work the carpet the best? Here are five starlets I know will be looking divine based on their glamorous appearances from Red Carpet’s past.

Penelope Cruz
This year, Cruz is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Nine. She always brings the Latin heat, showing off her admirable curves in classic, tasteful gowns. Cruz is the picture of red carpet elegance, and never fails to disappoint.

Kate Winslet
Although Winslet is just a presenter this year and not nominated for an award, she is sure to still be a hit on the red carpet. Winslet brings old-school Hollywood glamour to any award show she attends in simple gowns that are still classically beautiful and perfectly flatter her body

Reese Witherspoon
As a presenter this year, Witherspoon is sure to bring a girly flair to the red carpet. Similar to Winslet and Cruz, she also wears elegant and tasteful dresses, but she adds a pop of color that always complements her and sets her apart, whether it be bright yellow or deep purple.

Halle Berry
Berry’s gowns are definitely never boring. She tends to choose dresses that are form-fitting without revealing too much – just enough so we can all continue to envy her body. She mixes it up with different colors and styles, and I can’t wait to see what she chooses this year as a presenter.

Emily Blunt
Nominated for Best Actress for her performance in The Young Victoria, Blunt is sure to wear something extra fabulous this year. She has mastered the art of looking refined and elegant while still looking a young and fresh. Plus, she’s always down for some sparkle, which I’m looking forward to seeing on the carpet this year. I’m also looking forward to seeing her finest accessory of all, fiance John Krasinski (sorry, couldn’t resist!).

Some childhood trends do NOT need a movie.

Lady Gaga must be cold…

Whoa there, Halle Barry!

We heart fab and cheap sunglasses.

Wow, our government is really stupid.

Of course, no celebs are immune to the occasional “what the hell were they thinking?” moment, but for the most part, these celebs look foxy and fabulous and inspire us all to do the same.]

My style idol this week is none other than Ms. Halle Berry, whom I think is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. You gotta admire the fact that she is 40 years old and a new mom, yet still manages to look phenomenal while playing at the park with her baby, or posing for photogs on the red carpet.

Berry’s got a classic style that puts emphasis on her sex symbol status (and really shows off those amazing…er… assets of hers) without looking trashy or “40 year old who’s trying to relive her 20’s.” With that gorgeous skin tone and megawatt smile, she can wear a variety of colors, which she is adept at. Her shapely legs and perfect cleavage only give her more room to experiment with different cuts and shapes, and her body always looks smokin’, whether making a political statement in jeans and a tee, donning a floor length gown while preggers, or rockin’ a mini dress.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Halle’s been one of Hollywood’s best dressed for years now, and it’s no wonder why: she’s the woman other women want to be, and the one that every guy wants to have on his arm. And on top of it all, she makes it all look so effortless.

So I changed it. And focused my love on other things. A now – for your benefit – I will bring you a weekly Love List. On all things I love. Because if I love them – well then obviously you may love them too. And there was once a song that said what the world needs now is love sweet love. So sweet love I will bring to thee.

My love list for October 4th, 2008:

1. The word Adore. I don’t know why, but I LOVE this word. Lately I’ve replaced the word “love” with “adore.” As in, “I Adore pay day,” or “I absolutely ADORE that Marc Jacobs bag (but not adoring the not-so-adorable price tag),” or “I don’t care if Jeremy Piven is a shmuck – girls have been drawn to them for ages – why stop now? And, therefore, I adore him.”

2. The Solange Knowles CD and, more specifically, her song, Sandcastle Disco. I mean, for realz, why does that family breed so much talent and beauty? If only there was a Knowles brother I could marry. But seriously; this song puts the swing in my step. Before you know it, you too will be singing in your hair brush in your underwear at 10pm on a Thursday night… (Embrace it.)

3. Bangs. Some say they are a throwback to the 4th grade and that we are just a step away from stirrup pants and puff painted sweatshirts. But I say… I adore them. Bangs I love: Demi Lovato, Halle Berry, Rachel Bilson, and adorably cute, Miley Cyrus.

4. Mac Photo Editor. I get red eye in every. single. picture I take. But thanks to this lovely tool, you can get rid of that! And shiny-ness! And crop that pic to not include that girl with the muffin top who is standing in the background.

5. Giveforward.org. This is a great site that helps you get involved in either fundraising yourself, or giving to others projects. It’s targeted to PLU (people like us!) and hopes to inspire that we (the little people) can make a difference.

6. The Don’t Vote Video. It’s cute, it gets the message out, and most importantly, it’s 5 whole minutes of procrastinating. And if there is one thing I L.O.V.E. (and excel at) it’s procastination.

Sex addiction is not about having a lot of sex or really, really enjoying it. Sex addiction is when someone’s sexual preoccupation causes their life to become unmanageable, demonstrated through a range of behaviors including pornography, voyeurism, masturbation and promiscuity. Over time, the behavior can become more intense as the addict’s need intensifies as they attempt to use sex to escape their problems.

In a case like Duchovny, whose addiction was to internet porn, simply having more sex with your partner will not satifsy the addiction. So much of the thrill and enjoyment lies in obtaining the sex and afterward, the addict often feels ashamed or embarrassed after the episode only to go on to repeat the behavior again and again because they cannot control their impulses.

Like drugs or alcohol, sex addiction dominates your life and is just as potentially destructive, as addicts may turn to prostitutes, go into tremendous debt, lose their jobs, put their health at risk and destroy relationships. It’s not a joke nor is it an excuse for infidelity.

If you’re curious and want to learn more or if you want to know where you stand, you can visit the sex addicts anonymous website or take the 45 questions assessment at sexhelp.com.

Minnie Driver is now one of many pregnant celebs complete with their very own website to celebrate the joys of expecting ! She’s joining the ranks of 24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub, Halle Berry, Gwen and Gavin, who are expecting their second, the unsurprising and to-be-confirmed Brangelina, Jessica Alba, AND Ethan Hawke’s ex-nanny (to his children we presume). The Bellini baskets will be going like hotcakes!

Parenthood is the new Chloe bag, and if Nicole Richie can pull it off, Little Spears just had to jump on that bandwagon. You can practically hear Brit screaming “She’s copying me!” from UCLA’s medical center. Let’s hope Jamie Lynn didn’t take K-Fed out of her speed dial on the off chance she keeps her little bundle of scandal after toughing out the pregnancy… He’s full of post-partum career tips, and maybe can even write a birthday rap!

Celebrity parents are just like the rest of our parents… except of course they’re famous, loaded (have fun with that wordplay), and gasp, even more likely to give their kids a complex. Particulary if, say, your mommy is famous because your grandpa could croon with the best of them in the ’80s, and she and Lindsay Lohan had matching ankle bracelets.

Sure, socially aware Brangelina are collecting children like Britney is psych evaluations, but the rest of celebdom is keeping to moderation and handling themselves as gracefully as the paparazzi allow them. Since growing up in the spotlight seems to be a little intense, it’s impressive that Nicole and Joel Madden have delved into parenthood without causing too big a scene. “Harlow Winter Kate” is only moderately ridiculous, and will surely get less taunting than the Apple of Gwyneth’s eye.

Let’s just hope Paris doesn’t catch on to the pregnancy trend anytime soon…

…..by this guy! Gabriel Aubrey!

He’s hot, Canadian and 10 years younger than Halle, who is 41 and the hottest cougar of ‘em all.

Ever since the news of her pregnancy broke, people have been even more curious about Gabriel Aubrey, whose name even sounds model-ish. He’s got a pretty face, but what’s he like? How did he meet Halle? What do they have in common!

The public needs to know!

If you Google him, he’s more tied to her name than anything else so there must be some dirt?

You will find that all sites can agree he is a “hunkstar,” whatever the hell kind of stupid word that is.

Hmmm. I wonder if the baby will be attractive?

Check out Gabriel’s hottness after the jump!
