– Katherine Jenkins (L) was first seen in this black, below-the-knee, Peter-Pan collared pencil dress by Jason Wu this past summer. The opera singer paired it with black heeled blue-tip pumps and an Yves Saint Laurent clutch. (We found a somewhat similar abovethe-knee, short-sleeve Jersey dress with a white collar at H&M, Yonge and Bloor, $29.95). Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (R) was spotted shortly after at the X Factor 2014 launch in a similar white-collared black pencil dress, pairing it with black and white heels and a sleek updo. Both ladies look trendy and sophisticated but Katherine wins for accessorizing the look better with her chic YSL purse. 3 POPNEWS.CA

I came from a big family... a big family of Southerners. I’m the youngest of five, so I never raised any siblings below me, but I’m always the person who’s taking everyone else’s kid and putting them on my hip, so I’ve kinda always been a mama. So we’ll see.

hollywoodbits “Dating or finding someone is the last thing on my mind, because I can’t picture how it could work with the way my life is. I don’t know how a guy is supposed to walk next to his girlfriend when there are 20 men with cameras, and he can’t protect his girlfriend because that’s the life she chose. I just don’t see how it could work, so I don’t think about it, and I kind of run from it when it presents itself.” - TAYLOR SWIFT has been turned off dating by the ever-present paparazzi.

HARRELL WILLIAMS is reportedly helping model Cara Delevingne branch into the singing business. The Happy hitmaker has reportedly been working on material for the past eight months and will release a duet to kickstart the catwalk beauty’s music career under his ‘i am OTHER’ record label. A source told British newspaper The Sun, “They’re going to release the song without warning, complete with video and global launch... they seem to have formed a great little writing collective and apparently it’s a huge song.” Delevingne was spotted with Williams in Paris, France recently and it is thought the pair was recording a music video. The model also made a brief appearance onstage during his concert in the French capital in October by dancing in the background as he performed Happy. (HW/WNTSU/ZN)
PENELOPE CRUZ has been named the Sexiest Woman Alive in a recent poll by Esquire magazine.

Cruz poses on the cover of the November edition of the magazine in a low-cut, black swimming costume, and in the accompanying interview, Cruz explains why she is guarded about her private life with husband Javier Bardem, saying, “That is for us.” (CMR/EQ/LR)

his is yet even more evidence that he’s not interested in the mother of his child. DailyMailUK.com reported, “Simon Cowell, 55, has dubbed himself the ‘world’s most eligible bachelor’ now that George Clooney has tied the knot. George had previously earned himself the prestigious moniker after years of dating but never marrying. Now, the X Factor boss reckons that title is all his thanks to the Hollywood star’s recent wedding to Amal Alamuddin. He told Hello! magazine: ‘I’m the only iconic bachelor left in the entire world - thanks for that George Clooney.’ Simon, like George, spent years being romantically linked to many women but never fully settling down. That’s changed since becoming serious with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and welcoming their son Eric into the world in February this year. ‘I think it’s a title I’ll keep for a while longer if I’m honest. I’ve never said no to marriage but then again I couldn’t imagine having a kid at one point and now look at me.’ He added. ‘I guess I was always nervous I may not end up getting on particularly well with the person I was going to have a kid with and I didn’t want to make the wrong decision. Our baby wasn’t planned was actually the best thing for us to have done and we’re very happy now.’ The TV and music mogul, who was previously engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy, also admitted there was a chance he could marry Lauren, but wants to wait a while longer.” I’ve said before on several occasions that it doesn’t seem as if Simon is all too interested in Lauren. And every time an article surfaces about their relationship, I’m only proven right once again. The reality is that no woman who is with a man in a long-term relationship wants to hear him describing himself as an eligible bachelor. Lauren’s no exception, I’m sure. Combine this with the fact that Simons the father of her child and you have a situation that doesn’t sound too good. What I have to wonder is whether Lauren even cares about how Simon says these things? Does he tell her that he doesn’t mean it and that it’s just a show for the press? Were I Lauren, I’d give him the marriage ultimatum. If Simon has no intention of seeing this one through, there’s no need for her to sit around and be subjected to embarrassing comments like this. Trust that when a man talks this way he’s not into you. A man who loves you would never risk hurting your feelings. Until next time... Shine like Platinum! Vanessa

he actress who landed the coveted role of Wonder Woman earlier this year is now set to head back in time to play the female lead in the Ben-Hur remake. Gal Gadot is in early negotiations to play slave Esther in the latest adaptation of the biblical tale. Jack Huston will lead the cast as the Jewish prince who is betrayed by a friend. Toby Kebbell and Morgan Freeman will also appear in Timur Bekmambetov’s movie, which has been adapted by Keith Clarke and 12 Years a Slave screenwriter John Ridley. Fast & Furious star Gadot will make her debut as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. (KL/WNWC/TD)
Legend tells Jo Parkerson of radio station Magic FM, “I think all of us (friends) are aware of what people are saying and we probably care a little bit but we also know they don’t know everything that’s happening. And so when you hear all this speculation about Jay and Beyonce getting divorced... If you’re Jay, you know the truth. “You can only let the rumours affect you so much... He knows the truth and he’s pretty mellow as well. He’s cool and collected and he knows how to take it all in his stride.” (LR/PR/ZN)
riana Grande turned to fellow pop star Miley Cyrus for comfort after she was accused of throwing tantrums and behaving like a “diva”. The Problem hitmaker has hit headlines in recent weeks amid multiple reports suggesting she has behaved badly. Her life coach was reported to have resigned due to her “bad attitude” and fans have grumbled that she was rude during a meetand-greet session. Grande, who denied the claims, has now revealed she turned to Cyrus for support amid the furore. She tells the Daily Mirror newspaper, “I was upset and I contacted Miley. I said, ‘Miley, I’m so sad - what do I do? This isn’t true. My heart is broken, I feel so bad’. She was like, ‘Girl, don’t even look at it. Just be happy that you’re blessed. You have family and friends (that) love you, you have fans that love you who know what’s true and what’s not’. She added, ‘It will blow over and tomorrow they’ll be talking about something else.’” Grande is adamant that the reason she faces such struggles in the industry is because she is a woman, adding, “If you see a woman working hard who is successful - who doesn’t stop until she reaches her goal, who is strong and has wishes and dreams she wants to fulfil, and works hard every day - you label them a diva. But if you see a man doing that, you’re like, ‘He’s incredible, he’s an amazing businessman’.” (CMR/WNTMI/LR)

On the plane over here I was trying to think of baby names. I don’t want a name that’s anything pretentious or, like, Hollywood-y. So I’m going with Excalibur Anaconda Reynolds... that’s if it’s a girl.” - Ryan Reynolds jokes about baby names following the announcement that his wife (LR/WNWCPL/ZN) Blake Lively is pregnant.

Actress Archie Panjabi is set to exit hit legal drama The Good Wife after five years on the show. The star, who has portrayed private investigator Kalinda Sharma since 2009, will leave once her contract with producers at CBS expires at the end of the current sixth season. However, Panjabi won’t be gone from screens for long - she has landed a development deal with studio executives at 20 Century Fox Television for her own drama pilot, which is expected to air next year. News of Panjabi’s exit comes several months after fellow The Good Wife castmate Josh Charles left the series - his character Will Gardner was killed off in March. (MT/WNWCHR/KL)

THE FIVE COMMANDMENTS OF USING ESSENTIAL OILS FOR hey’re not called essential SKIN CARE oils for nothing! Essential oils
health&beauty
T
extracted from plants are often used as ingredients in antiaging products. Not only do they help keep skin moist, they deliver nutrients to the skin without clogging pores. Follow this guideline when incorporating essential oils into your skincare regime:
fyi
Normal dilution: 15 drops essential oil mixed with two tablespoons of carrier oil. Use normal dilution for intensive skincare treatments. Low Dilution: Six to nine drops essential oil mixed with one tablespoon of carrier oil. Use low dilution when making moisturizers and other skin care products. Very low Dilution: Three drops essential oil mixed with one tablespoon of carrier oil. Use this formula if you have sensitive skin or when making eye treatments. A 5mL bottle of essential oil should contain about 125-150 drops. A 10mL bottle of essential oil should contain about 250-300 drops. Check out popnews.ca for more information on essential oils.
1 Essential oils are highly concentrated formulas that must be used with care! If you are pregnant
or have health concerns speak with a health professional first before using.
2
When using essential oils for skin care blends, a normal dilution is about 15 drops essential oil to two tablespoons of carrier oil (check out popnews.ca for more info on carrier oils).
3
Do not apply essential oils undiluted to the skin – they should be diluted with carrier oils or water.
4 Conduct a patch test before trying your homemade skincare recipe. You are testing for skin
sensitivity. Dab a bit of the (diluted) essential oil in the bend of your elbow. Wait 24 hours to see if irritation occurs.
5 Refrigerate all vegetable oils. The shelf life of essential oils is about two years max!

Keep your oils in bottles, away from heat and light.

n these heady days of innovation, we don’t necessarily need to hire someone to do the dirty work of a home renovation. Some of the household upgrades may be easier than you think. Start by familiarizing yourself about the job at hand. There are many reliable self-help books and websites dedicated to giving you the best environmentally-friendly suggestions when it comes to do-it-yourself home renovation projects. The following suggestions will improve your home, save you money, give you the green life and are easy to do:
1 Check the tightness on your refrigerator seal by closing the door on a piece of paper: If it’s held in place, the seal is still good, if not, it’s time to replace the seal or fix the door’s alignment. 2 Invest in a programmable thermostat: It will automatically adjust the temperature in your house, saving you energy while you’re away or sleeping.
4 Insulate your walls, ceilings, piping entrances, attics, and basements: Use a professionalquality, stone wool insulation product such as Roxul. Installing insulation saves you money and wastes less energy throughout your home in every season.

“Can a saver and a splurger coexist? Yes, if both are committed to
the important role life insurance can play. “Sound and responsible money decisions are essential to the well-being of families,” says Foresters president and CEO, Tony Garcia. A game plan for couples might start with the following: •Make a monthly budgeting plan and agree on who will manage it. •Set ground rules on spending. •Discuss expectations on ‘found money’ like inheritances and income tax refunds. •Plan for unexpected hardships like managing on just one salary. Try to set aside at least six months of funds to cover expenses.

pposites attract, often leading to romance, but an opposing viewpoint when it comes to money management could cause the big divide. Can a saver and a splurger coexist? Yes, if both are committed to that familiar word, communication. The ability to talk to our partners early in the union about household money management is a skill that could be practised during Financial Literacy Month throughout November. So if this topic is a challenge in your relationship, a full four weeks in a ‘money talk’ atmosphere will probably make it much easier. There are resources available for free online that provide tips to help start the conversation.
