DONALD TRUMP IS USING MELANIA’S SKIN CARE PRODUCTS

Longtime gossip lovers will remember the 1990s scandal when Donald Trump’s then wife, Marla Maples, had her shoes and underwear pilfered, and Trump’s publicist Chuck Jones was convicted of being the culprit. You can only imagine how Donald’s current wife Melania felt when some of her personal things suddenly started to disappear. According to my source, it wasn’t underwear and shoes this time – it was beauty products. From $500 skin serums from a Beverly Hills doctor, to gold leaf eye patches to reduce puffiness, Melania couldn’t figure out how her things were disappearing in her security heavy home. This time, however, it was an inside job and Donald fessed up to being the bandit! Donald is now terrified of looking old since he’s running against a decades younger candidate for President, so he is trying every beauty trick in the book to find the fountain of youth – THAT’S the reason he helped himself to Melania’s stash.

EVEN MELANIA TRUMP CAN’T RESIST A SALE

The former First Lady uses an expensive skincare line from a top Beverly Hills dermatologist, which is only available at the doctor’s office. Recently she was delighted to learn they they were having a Black Friday sale. She ordered $20,000 worth of serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging treatments. My source says Melania is a repeat customer and usually has the goodies delivered to her in Palm Beach, spending approximately $2,000 a month on the products. The stuff rarely goes on sale, so Melania jumped at the chance to stock up, ordering a years supply in one swoop. Now here’s the funny part, Melania asked for FREE SHIPPING since the order was so large – and even though it wasn’t part of the promotion – she got it!

CHRISTIE BRINKLEY: THIS IS WHAT 68 LOOKS LIKE TODAY!

Can you believe it? Keep in mind this is a paparazzi photo taken of Christie Brinkley in NY yesterday – (attention Kardashians!) That means NO filters or photoshopping! You might ask HOW is this physically possible? The former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model (the only woman with 3 consecutive covers in a row) claims the secret to her undiminished beauty is the fact that she exfoliates her face every day and has a healthy lifestyle. We happen to think there’s more to it than THAT, and hope that someday she and Jaclyn Smith will get together and collaborate on a book about aging beautifully with ALL the details…

VICTORIA BECKHAM WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR MAKEUP DOLLARS

Victoria Beckham is putting all her efforts into promoting not only her fashion line, but her makeup collection. She’s in Paris now for Fashion Week and beautifully dressed in her own designs, as usual. She’s also sporting some freshly enhanced lips to better advertise her Victoria Beckham Beauty makeup and skin care products. There happens to be a LOT of competition in the makeup field right now: Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lopez and Hailey Bieber are all hoping to be as successful as Rihanna. So Victoria must try harder…

WATCH OUT, KYLIE! YOU’VE GOT SOME COMPETITION IN THE LIPS DEPARTMENT!

It HAD to happen. Lisa Rinna has launched her own beauty brand, Rinna Beauty, celebrating, of course, lips! Lisa aims to compete with Kylie’s successful lip kits because lips are what made her famous. She’s offering three kits of varying colors for $45 each. So far she’s not selling any form of lip enlargement, but we’re betting she WILL. Lisa celebrated the launch this week with a huge lips cake. We are particularly fond of the inflatable lips pool float.

DOES JOHNNY WEIR HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WOMEN?

We were struck by the message on skater Johnny Weir’s t- shirt – and not in a good way. Is he mocking women? NOT every woman is beautiful – and that is a fact. This statement is demeaning because there are far more important traits than beauty- women can be brilliant, kind, funny, creative, whatever. (Can you imagine a t-shirt saying “All Men Are Handsome?”) This All Women Are Beautiful statement was probably started by a cosmetic company attempting to flatter customers. Johnny Weir is not doing women any favors by projecting this silly statement – it is quite insulting. You’d think he would know better…

COACHELLA: WHERE DREAMS MIGHT COME TRUE

We’re not sure what the ratio of males to females is at Coachella, but it’s hard to believe that this gorgeous woman stood alone, waiting for friends, for a very long time. Where else but Coachella can you run in to a former Miss USA/Miss Universe, looking immaculate and quite available. Olivia Culpo, 26, probably IS available – her on-again off-again football player boyfriend was caught cheating more than once. Hopefully she found the fun she was looking for.

DON’T BLAME JULIA ROBERTS – BLAME DIM-WITTED PEOPLE MAGAZINE

The internet exploded when Julia Roberts was revealed to be People Magazine’s choice for WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN 2017. Not a lot of people said bad things about Julia, but many questioned the choice of a 49 year old five time winner – they wanted a new face. The REAL question is, of course, why is People magazine living in the last century with this archaic sort of “contest!” BEAUTY CONTESTS are WAY past their date of expiration. Even People’s male version is called “Sexiest Man Alive” which implies more than just superficial looks. We’re betting People’s editor is just another oblivious MAN… who thinks he’s doing females a favor by selecting a mature woman. Here’s hoping this is the last year they repeat this nonsense.

RUMER WILLIS HAS NO PROBLEM WITH HER LOOKS – BUT SHE’S STILL A LITTLE OBSESSED

There aren’t many women around who would take offense at a Vanity Fair photographer photoshopping them to look more attractive. In fact, most women would be thrilled just to appear in the magazine. So Rumer Willis (above, center) proved herself one of a kind when she called out Vanity Fair for altering her chin in a photo. We witnessed the cruel comments people made online about her appearance when she was growing up and felt awful for her. She has apparently gotten over it and has confidence in her looks today. Rumer said “Altering someone’s beauty is a form of bullying.” The photo never appeared in the magazine, only online, and the photographers responsible claim they only made corrections necessary because they used a wide angle lens and never intended to change her looks. We side with Rumer, and are amazed that she has the courage to declare herself beautiful while most models don’t think they are. Wouldn’t it be nice if the pursuit of beauty was NOT emphasized to little girls growing up?
