Though she got a lot of flack for the cost of it, we’re pretty sure there was a nationwide sigh of relief when this mom of eight finally shed her peacock hairdo and opted for long locks instead.

Harlow and Sparrow’s mom seamlessly transitioned from the streaky-haired, overly made-up bad girl to the queen of understated boho chic.

New baby, new look. Jess’s little sis ditched the mismatching, rebellious outfits and harsh black hair for a glam look complete with softer locks and chicer duds.

Mom to little Max is the queen of transformations, but it seems she found her stride with her old-school glam look, harkening back to Grace Kelly and other screen sirens of a past era.

Angelina Jolie on Plastic Surgery "I Haven’t Had Anything Done"

Angelina Jolie has one of the most famous faces in the world — and it’s all natural, she insists.

“I haven’t had anything done and I don’t think I will,” Jolie, 35, says in a new interview with British paper The Daily Mail. “But if it makes somebody happy then that’s up to them. I’m not in somebody else’s skin to know what makes them feel better about themselves. But I don’t plan to do it myself.”

In the extensive interview, the actress opens up about life with Brad Pitt and their six kids — who’ve helped her “enjoy” her high-flying career. “I enjoy the work more now because I enjoy life more,” she says. “When you have children the whole world shifts for you. You have these little people that make you laugh and remind you every day of what is important, and you get to be their parent and that’s the most important thing you’ll ever be. Everything else comes from that.”

The Jolie-Pitts had a blast shooting The Tourist in Venice last spring. “My whole family came, so we had this beautiful home looking out at the Grand Canal,” she said. “The kids got very familiar with it and they often did their homework in boats, to break up the day.”

Date nights away from the kids, Jolie added, are crucial: “You also have to stay focused on each other so that you stay strong. And you staying strong as a couple keeps the kids in an even better place.”

The city of canals made for some watery date nights, she admitted. “One night Brad and I went out to dinner and I wanted to get dressed up and wear my heels. By the time we’d finished dinner we had to borrow welly boots because the water had risen so high that you couldn’t walk down the street,” she explained. “But that’s the magic of Venice.”

The Oscar-winning star also had fun bonding with her costar Johnny Depp and his family during the shoot. “We got together as families,” she told the Daily Mail. “Brad, Vanessa and all the kids; that was lovely. Just family stuff.”

What kind of lessons are she and Pitt teaching Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox? “Hopefully I’m giving my children the sense that they are deeply loved and deeply safe,” Jolie mused. “At the same time we are hopefully encouraging their individuality as they get to know who they are, and not getting in the way of that. That’s why they are six very strong individuals.”

Once again, she shoots down concern over daughter Shiloh’s tomboy look. “I don’t think it’s for the world to interpret anything,” Jolie says of her 4-year-old. “She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy and she wanted to be called ‘John’ for a while…she wants to be like her brothers. It’s who she is. It’s been a surprise to us and it’s really interesting, but she’s so much more than that –- she’s funny and sweet and pretty. But she does love a tie.”

How to Keep your skin in top form this winter

WITH EACH winter I plunge into a grumpy, hopeless state over what happens to my grown-up complexion, thus gifting me with my own special version of Seasonal Affective Disorder. I’m affected by the seasons, alright, but it’s because of my seasonal skin problems not the lack of sunlight. Winter plunges me into despair with rosacea in full ruddy bloom, spots that never heal, skin that’s dull and papery. Creams seem to be futile weapons against the onslaught of bone-dry air in my flat. I slather on a thick, butter-like layer before falling asleep and inevitably wake up to find that not only has my skin (and, yes, maybe my pillow case) drunk the entire lot, but it’s still the same dry mess it was the night before.

Over the years, I’ve been honing my artillery of skincare weapons and this winter I’m ready to go to war with the weather to save my skin. Here are the best tips I’ve gleaned from the experts and my own trial-and-error experience over recent rosacea-afflicted years.

1. Vitamin C

A notoriously useful brightener and anti-oxidant, Vitamin C can take your skin from dull to radiant in seconds. The trick is actually finding Vitamin C that’s in its active form – no easy feat (read more about that here). Most of the products touting Vitamin C have so little in such a degraded state that they’re just paying this wonder-vitamin lip service and not providing you with a useful amount in any sort of useful form. Vitamin C should be stored in powder form (or another un-activated form) until used (to contain its potency or it degrades with speed).

2. Exfoliate

Do this a few times a week to rid skin of dead skin and debris build-up. A scrub is fine, so is a gentle peel, mask or liquid exfoliator with gentle acids or Vitamin A derivatives. They’ll help keep your skin looking fresh even before you put on your skincare or makeup, which is the best sort of canvas to start with during any season. Plus – added bonus – Vitamin A creams and peels will help diminish fine lines.

3. Massage

While you’re applying your creams, serums or oils, really massage them into your skin. It’s a great way to get the blood to the surface of your complexion to create a healthy glow. And it feels good, relieves tension and means your really working in those products.

4. Highlighter

Many foundations and lotions now come filled with light-reflecting and brightening particles. Use these on well-moisturised skin instead of a tinted moisturiser or matte foundation. To make your own, add one part highlighting cream to two parts foundation (a non-drying formula), mix it in your palm and then apply it, starting at the center of your face and fanning outwards.

Product suggestion: La Prarie White Caviar Illuminating Cream

Elisabetta Canalis calls George Clooney 'better than plastic surgery'

Elisabetta Canalis credits boyfriend George Clooney with helping her to feel like she’s 18 again.
The secret’s out — the fountain of youth, according to Elisabetta Canalis, is a happy relationship.”He’s better than plastic surgery!” George Clooney’s girlfriend, 31, tells “Entertainment Tonight” about the actor, someone she credits with helping her to feel like she’s 18 all over again.

The couple, who have been dating since last year, are going strong, and the former Italian TV presenter is excited to be following up her role on the TNT series “Leverage.”

“I’m happy to be here. It’s a privilege for me,” the bilingual beauty (she speaks Italian and English but is also learning Spanish) says about playing an intelligence agent, known only as “The Italian,” who blackmails Timothy Hutton’s character on the drama. The entire cast is “amazing and they are helping me a lot.”

Up next for Canalis is hitting the red carpet with Clooney, 49, for the August 29 Primetime Emmys, where he will receive the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.

“I’m very proud. It’s a very important award,” she says. “I’ll be there with him.”
