Male Vanity

SIMON COWELL’S LITTLE SECRET

Okay, we have to confess- Male Vanity is one of our all-time favorite subjects. So when we see an excellent example of it, we just have to point it out. Simon Cowell was walking around on a chilly day in London, enjoying his weight loss and displaying his chest, as usual. What interested US, of course, is this photo that clearly reveals his elevator shoes. He has these pointy booties custom made at considerable expense, to give himself an extra three inches of height and figures that no one is aware, but WE are! And now you are too …

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IS NOW A REDHEAD

And we’re betting he doesn’t even know it! Arnold just walked out of his hairdresser’s salon with a fresh dye job and it’s FAR from natural looking! Arnold made the cardinal error that nearly all men who color their hair make: he doesn’t look at his hair color outdoors in bright sunlight. We’re pretty sure Arnold was hoping for a more natural hue than orange, but will anyone have the courage to point out this flaw to the Terminator?

WHAT ZAC EFRON LEARNED FROM VANESSA HUDGENS

When they were together, (now they seem to be friends with benefits) Vanessa Hudgens used to tease Zac about being obsessed with his looks – from his skin to his weight. Thanks to Vanessa, he learned how to cover up blemishes – with her concealer, and he learned how to control his weight. Zac observed when Vanessa signed up for the ZEN gourmet diet home delivery service. For $35 a day, three fresh meals are delivered with the appropriate calorie count. Zac had to gain about 18 pounds of muscle for “The Lucky Ones” in which he plays an Iraq war vet (above.) The movie wrapped before Christmas and now he wants to get rid of the weight so he’s eating 1800 calories a day, thanks to ZEN….and Vanessa.

JON GOSSELIN COULD LOOK TEN POUNDS THINNER TOMORROW

At first glance we thought this was Chaz Bono but a closer look revealed it to be Jon Gosselin, back at home after his long weekend in the Hamptons. He’s looking rather portly and we were immediately reminded of a new product we discovered on The WOW Report. It’s a “torso enhancing” undershirt – basically Spanx for men- it’s called “Ript Fusion.” One of P Diddy’s former employees at Sean John created the body sculpting t-shirt because she figured out what men need. In other words, they want to eat and still look good. For $58 you and Jon Gosselin can do that too.

JOSH HARTNETT KEEPS HIS HOTNESS UNDER WRAPS

Josh Hartnett is another hot guy who tires to make himself look nerdy. Here he is walking out of the Mercer Hotel in New York. He never leaves home without that wool cap pulled down low. Add glasses and scraggly facial hair and you’d never guess he was a big star. Just a few year ago he was dating his high school sweetheart, but as soon as they split up he became a serial modelizer. According to the photographer, outside the hotel he immediately hooked up with a stunning leggy blonde

ROD STEWART GETS EXTRA INCHES WHERE HE NEEDS THEM

We never could resist a story about a male celebrity with elevator shoes. Rod Stewart and his bride Penny Lancaster turned up at a Cartier party at the London Natural History Museum and miraculously they appeared to be close to the same height. Usually the 6’1″ Penny towers over Rod, who claims to be 5’10”. A close look revealed that not only was Penny wearing ballet flats, but Rod has shoes with built up heels. Whatever works.

JON LOVITZ FOOLS THE EYE?

It’s award show season and the tanning salons are booked solid. Skin color and gowns MUST be coordinated! Fake tans are lifesaver for pasty-faced actors who used to have to wear pancake makeup on the red carpet and they felt really foolish. Of course feeling foolish is better than taking a bad photograph. But not all celebrities frequent the fancy Beverly Hills salons like Paris Hilton. Bronzed Australian journalist Nelson Aspen gets his color at an inconspicuous no-frills strip mall salon and he always runs into celebrities in the waiting room. No surprise that Carmen Electra gets her golden glow there, but we WERE surprised to hear that Jon Lovitz and Kiefer Sutherland are regulars too. Jon thinks a tan makes him look thinner, but who would have guessed Canadian Kiefer had a touch of male vanity?
