Naomi Watts is the latest A-lister to hop on the breast-baring bandwagon, and she showed more than a little skin on the side of this spider web looking dress for the Glamour Women of the Year awards in London last night. Naomi really looks stunning, but I can’t help but wonder how she managed to keep her “girls” in their place in that dress. I’d love to be able to pull off this style, but the fear of a “nip slip” would be in the forefront of my mind all night....

Curious? We talked with eyebrow stylist Joey Healy to explain this no-brow look and how you — yes, YOU — can try it out.

But people are definitely talking about it. “It’s because eyebrows in general are really important right now,” he says....

Some were able to nurse exclusively, especially in the beginning. Most supplemented with formula at some point. My experience was not unusual, but I believe it could have been better. Here are the things I wish someone had told me before I attempted to breastfeed my twin sons — a venture that may not be as impossible as people think, but may not be as easy as you hope....

In fact, ladies with the procedure seem to fare better than ladies who have not gone under the knife. Out of the sample surveyed via telephone — Wow! Additionally, this sample reported “extremely” high levels of sexual and relationship satisfaction....

Those clunkers … they’ve gotta be, like, a foot high. OK, maybe a foot is a little exaggerated. Maybe more like eight inches? I mean, I can see how her creepy main squeeze Doug Hutchison might like her to rock these in the bedroom, but walking around casually?! How does she even put one foot in front of the other?

TMZ is reporting that a woman named Rachel Cronin has filed a class action lawsuit against EOS (which stands for “evolution of smooth,” FYI), claiming that the lip balm gave her a nasty reaction. “Nasty” meaning severe rashes, bleeding, blistering, lip cracking, flaking, and breaking out. Cronin says all this happened within hours of using EOS, and the reaction lasted a whopping 10 days. Not exactly the desired results you hope to get from your natural lip balm....
