Celebrity flower power

From Miranda Kerr to Eva Mendes, celebrities are embracing their inner flower child and experimenting with floral patterns. So what’s the best way to wear floral? Follow these easy steps:

  1. If you mainly wear black or neutral colours, a floral patterned pair of pants or jacket will go with most pieces in your wardrobe.
  1. If bright and bold isn’t your thing, there are lots of soft, pastel patterns you can opt for that still have the same impact.
  1. Keep it all in proportion. A large pattern may look too overpowering on a petite woman, so go for patterns that suit your personality and your figure.
  1. If you are still cautious about experimenting with floral prints, start by adding some floral accessories such as a flower ring or a floral patterned hand bag to a plain outfit.

Smallest siblings in the world get reality show

Smallest siblings in the world get reality show

They hold the Guinness World Record for the smallest siblings in the world and now Bridgette ‘Bri’ and Brad Jordan have chalked up another big achievement — their own TV show.

The pair, who live in Centralia, Illinois, suffer from Majewski osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II, a rare illness that affects just 200,000 people in the US and is associated with brain and skeletal abnormalities.

Bri, who stands at 69cm tall and Brad, who stands at 97cm, will be the stars of the new show to air on TLC called Big Tiny.

The reality show will follow the 22-year-olds through their day-to-day lives and explore the challenges they face.

Their mother, Christy, is confident her children are perfect for the show.

“Bradley especially doesn’t seem to have a problem with being shy,” she told US newspaper The Huffington Post.

“They’ve always been in the public eye.”

Brad, who is a college cheerleader and accomplished gymnast, hopes to one day perform in movies and on television or Broadway.

His sister Bri, on the other hand, who is so small she showers in the sink, wants to get into fashion so that she can design shoes for other woman her size.

“When she’s needed shoes for events, we’ve had to create them,” Christy explains.

Bri also held the record for the world’s smallest woman for a short time last year, but the title has since been given to Jyoti Amge from India who is just 61cm tall.

Christy says she hopes her children’s TV show sends a positive message to their audience.

“We want people to know that anything is possible,” she said.

“I hope it’s inspirational. We want people to embrace the challenges, not dwell on them.”

Brad and Ange to wed this weekend?

Brad and Ange to wed this weekend?

Will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s secret wedding happen this weekend? That’s what a lot of people are speculating, with the pair hosting a family affair at their French villa.

The party is said to be in celebration of Brad’s parents’ 50th wedding anniversary but many are claiming the couple are using it as a cover for their own secret wedding celebration.

“Brad flew in to oversee preparations but they’re all here now. They say it’s for Jane and Bill, but some think this could be it. Even Angelina’s private jeweller is here,” an unnamed source told UK newspaper The Sun.

Since the announcement of their engagement in April, Brad and Ange have reportedly been planning a small ceremony at their Château Miraval home in the south of France.

The pair, who are said to have avoided sending out invitations, will have a guest list of just 20, including Brad’s best pal George Clooney, who’s yet to arrive.

“George and Brad are best pals, there’s no way he’d miss it,” the source said.

Brad, 48, also recently bought Ange a £250,000 ($370,000) watch as an early wedding present.

The piece is a Patek Philippe Minute Repeater, which normally takes up to two years to be delivered to customers.

Conjoined twins to star in their own reality TV show

Conjoined twins to star in their own reality TV show

When conjoined twins Abigail and Brittany Hensel were born, doctors didn’t expect them to survive through the night.

Now, 22 years later, the twins have certainly proved them wrong.

The girls have recently graduated from university, are about to travel to Europe with friends and are on the hunt for their first job.

They are also up-and-coming reality TV stars, with US network TLC offering them their own TV show called “Abby and Brittany”.

The girls, who share one body with each controlling one side, first captured the world’s attention when they appeared on the The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996.

Since then they have lived a quiet life with their family, including their 20-year-old brother Cody and 18-year-old sister Morgan, in Minnesota. When the pair turned 16, they agreed to appear in a documentary for TLC, in which they proved they really are individuals.

Like many other sets of twins, the girls have very different personalities. Abigail is feisty and stubborn, while Brittany is the joker of the family.

“Believe me, we are totally different people,” Brittney said during the documentary.

Throughout their life, the pair have continued to stun doctors with their incredible co-ordination and team work, which they use every day for everything from getting dressed and doing each other’s hair to playing the piano and driving where they each control one arm to steer the car.

The girls are believed to be one of only a few sets of dicephalus twins in history to survive infancy. Parents Patty and Mike say they have never even considered having them separated.

At the time Patty was pregnant with the girls she didn’t even realise she was having twins, now she can’t imagine life without them.

“From the first time we saw them, we thought they were beautiful,” she said.

“I kissed Abigail and then Brittany and gave them a hug. It’s like that every time I pick them up from school, two kisses and one hug for the most beautiful children in the world.”

“Abbey and Brittney” will premiere on TLC in the US on August 28.

Naked plus-sized model inked with Barbie’s proportions goes viral

Naked plus-sized model inked with Barbie's proportions goes viral

Katie Halchishick from O magazine.

An image of a naked plus-sized model with Barbie’s proportions drawn onto her body has gone viral on social media.

The picture of Katie Halchishick — co-founder of body image blog Healthy is the New Skinny — was shot for the November 2011 issue of O magazine.

In pictures: The real-life Russian Barbie doll

It made headlines in the US at the time, but has now gone global after being shared by thousands of women.

The image — shot by fashion photographer Matthew Rolston — features a naked Katie with a plastic surgeon’s dotted lines all over her body to show what would need to be cut away to give Katie the body of a Barbie doll.

Viewers have commented that the image is so powerful because it drives home the fact that even a gorgeous woman like Katie still falls so far short of so-called “perfection”.

The picture has also revived the debate about Barbie, and her suitability as a role model for millions of young girls worldwide.

In pictures: Britain’s teenage ‘living doll’

While this is not the first time people have criticised the blonde doll and her impossible proportions, it is interesting to see them drawn onto a real person.

Her neck is strangely long and thin, eyes creepily large, waist impossibly thin and breasts ridiculously large.

Your say: Should Barbie dolls be banned?

Justin Timberlake's family "can’t wait" for wedding

Friends and relatives of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel seem to be more excited about the pair’s big day then they are.

Jessica, who is currently promoting her new film Total Recall, recently said she hasn’t planned a thing for their upcoming wedding.

“I’m just enjoying being engaged” she told the Chicago Sun times.

“I do feel like there is a lot of time and nothing needs to be rushed.

“But being engaged is just absolutely amazing. You’re in this romantic, ahhhhh, breathless moment that I’m just trying to extend as long as possible.”

The pair’s friends and relatives, on the other hand, can’t wait for them to tie the knot.

“I’m so excited,” Justin’s cousin, Heather Bomar told Celebuzz

“I met Jessica. She’s really sweet. We can’t wait.”

A male cousin on Timberlake’s side, who declined to be named, was equally as excited.

“I’m thrilled for him,” he said.

“We were so excited when Jessica accepted his proposal.

“I have met her a couple of times. I’m happy for them and wish them a lot of luck.”

Although the couple, who have been together since 2007, are yet to officially set a date, there are reports they are planning to wed at the exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, and it’s set to be a big affair.

“It would be a fantastic turnout,” Justin’s cousin said.

“I’m sure they’ll have close family there. They’re very supportive and happy for them.”

Despite the family’s joy over the upcoming nuptials, Heather says she was initially surprised that there was going to be a wedding at all.

“We didn’t think he wanted to get married until he wanted to settle down closer to home to live a quieter, more normal life. But whatever they do will be great! He loves Jessie very much,” she said.

Another baby for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck?

Ben Affleck with son Samuel and Jennifer Garner with daughters Violet and Seraphina.

He already has a brood of cute kids, but Ben Affleck is fuelling the great baby debate in his household by trying to convince his wife, Jennifer Garner, to have another one.

The couple welcomed the latest addition to their family, Samuel, in February and have two daughters, six-year-old Violet and Seraphina, 3.

Showing off her post-baby body at the premiere of her new film, The Odd Life Of Timothy Green, the 40-year-old mum opened up about parenting and revealed that if Ben has his way, they may just add to their family yet.

“It’s absolute chaos!” she told Extra.

“I really did not realise how much more work three was going to be than two.”

So how did she manage to find time for a new movie? She says while she was filming, Ben became a house-husband and took care of their children. It looks like all the extra baby time has made the 39-year-old a bit clucky.

“The fact that Ben wants another is true,” she said.

“I can tell you that would be a pretty uphill battle with me.

“I am not anticipating having any more kids!”
