Best Dressed: Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba is a very busy woman with a successful business and two little girls to care for but she always manages to look fantastic and we love her style.
Her casual style is always classic with a touch of trend, for instance this bright peach blazer with classic black trousers or the denim jacket over a vintage-style polka dot dress.
Her red carpet looks are no different as we see her pair a beautiful understated black lace dress with a pop of hot pink lipstick.
This peach dress has a very old Hollywood style to it but the colour definitely brings it up to date.

Top 3 things to do on Valentine’s day
Although most people like to make February 14th memorable, not everyone likes to spend a fortune on it. If you want to get the most out of Valentine’s Day, all you need is a bit of creativity.
Get moving
Engaging in some physical activity like ice skating will get your endorphins flowing, leaving you both in good humour for the rest of the day.
Massage
Draw the curtains, light some scented candles and get some body oils on your fingers. A full-body massage by the love of your life is something you’re bound to enjoy.
Rose petals
As corny as it may seems, nothing will get him more excited than a trail of rose petals to the bedroom. Anticipation is half the fun of a romantic surprise – or a steamy one.

Here’s how your BMI increases by 0.03 points
If indulging in a Big Mac didn’t make you feel guilty before, it probably will now.
A new study has found that every fast food meal a person eats increases their BMI by 0.03 points.
Now that may not seem like a lot, but if you’re a regular at the local chipper, you can just imagine how terribly your BMI increases after only a week.
Generally, a person with a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered to be a healthy weight, those between 25 to 29.9 are considered to be overweight and a BMI of more than 30 is classed as obese.
The researchers involved in the study think that the government can help reverse the obesity epidemic by regulating how fast food is being advertised as well as giving people economic incentives to encourage companies to sell healthier foods.
But for the meantime, it looks like you’ll just have to think twice before ordering another take away because those 0.03 points will eventually add up…

6 lies you tell yourself before you go on holidays
Everybody tells themselves at least one little white lie before setting off on their travels and before you deny it, have a read of the top six travels lies we all tell ourselves:
1. You won’t go on Twitter or Facebook while you’re away
Ha, yeah right! You’ll be checking yourself in to every cocktail bar you hit.
2. You will blend in with the locals
No matter how hard you try to blend in, your pale skin and Irish accent will give you away in no time at all.
3. You’ll learn the language while you are there
Again, we laugh. Unless you are going there to study or for at least a year, this is just wishful thinking.
4. You will text your mum as soon as you land
Unless you hit a bar first…
5. You’ll buy everyone at home a really thoughtful souvenir
No, a rock candy does not count as thoughtful.
6. You won’t waste the morning in bed

Is your best cashmere sweater actually made of rat fur?
This is horrific, both for the animals suffering for these counterfeit clothes and the people unknowingly wearing them!
Following a year-long investigation into counterfeit goods, it was revealed that the clothing products seized by the police were made up of ” a mixture of acrylic, viscose and fur from rats and other animals”.
A number of arrests have been made in Rome and police also seized many counterfeit merino wool and silk products.
We can’t help but wonder what “other animals” the police could be talking about…

This could be the tackiest thing we’ve ever heard
No stranger to controversial comments, it seems Trinny won’t change her ways just because she’s reached her 50th birthday.
Trinny is currently dating Charles Saatchi, Nigella Lawson’s ex who divorced the TV chef last summer. Their split followed shocking pictures of what appeared to show Charles grabbing Nigella by the throat outside a restaurant in London.
Considering this, we find it disturbing that Trinny would go on to say what she has.
Writing on a blog about turning 50, Trinny said: “It’s great that, at 50, life can still grab you by the throat and shake you up. And it’s even better when you’ve learned to cope with whatever’s thrown at you. So long as it isn’t a bedside lamp.”
Wow. So much for women empowering one another, eh? Stay classy Trinny!

Chris O’Dowd on his make-up wearing past
Every Irish man with an older sister knows that at some stage during your childhood he will end up wearing make-up. Whether he likes it or not.
Chris O’Dowd, it would appear, is no exception to this rule as he describes the torture his sisters subjected him to as a a child.
Speaking about his childhood, Chris tells Jonathon how his sisters would apply “subtle” make-up to him as he slept so he would turn up to school preened and pretty. Bless.
Chris turned out alright, so we presume our own brothers aren’t scarred for life…
