Moreover, her rocker husband Keith urban is also a big fan of cosmetic surgery and has undertaken several procedures to look more and more handsome with each passing day. Luckily, he looks much more strong has healthy than he was in his younger years with his plastic surgeries and will continue to do so because apparently he can't stand being old. Putting the plastic surgery issue aside, Nicole had amazing features even before her plastic surgeries and all those facial treatments have only made her look prettier. Unfortunately, looking beautiful and attractive is only in the case of her personal self, because her life and husband in general are quite the opposite. Ever since their marriage, Keith urban has been trying to fight substance abuse without much success. He is also known for driving rashly as he has caused many on road accidents.

Apart from her troubled husband, Nicole Kidman has also been trying to give birth to children with Keith but has still not become a mother. As time passes by, it will become more and more difficult for her to give children. No matter how young one looks, but deep down inside, no one can hide anything from oneself and Nicole better brace up to meet the harsh facts of life. Besides, Nicole Kidman has miscarried before when she was married to the famous Hollywood actor, tom cruise. Even then she could not have the children which she so longed for and as things stand, it does not seem very likely either. Maybe she was not destined to be a mother.

Coming back to Nicole Kidman's plastic surgery, it is quite clear that Nicole has had several treatments because her skin seem so clear and free of lines which is not usual for a woman who has crossed forty. Nevertheless, Nicole has kept herself fit and healthy also by following an exercise regime and keeping full care of what she eats, her diet plans etc. Nicole has taken many botox injections to keep her wrinkle away and due to this excessive use, a "Botox Brow" seems to have appeared on her face. This brow is in fact an arch shaped evil looking brow on the forehead which appears as a side effect of Botox usage.

According to several celebrity surgeons who like to share their news and views on the web, the botox bow of Nicole Kidman's Plastic surgery would diminish over a period of time but for the time being, everyone seems to be 'scared' of her Nicole's fitness trainer shares that it is because Nicole lives a healthy life by not going in the sun, or stressing herself very much, she has been able to keep a youthful look on her face all these years.

Hey, I kinda liked this. One of the chickiest chick flicks I've ever seen, I'll not go with the critical community which is generally calling it air-headed and valueless.

Uh-uh. What I liked about "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is, first of all, the overwhelmingly, effervescent and infectiously sparkly. Isla Fisher who does a full-capacity performance in an ambitious film that roams and romps over the high-end Manhattan magazine publication and journalism world in substance and style that keeps you on-edge, off-edge and almost always smiling. True, it's not all that convincing in the rapid, bumbling-upward career launch by its heroine in the cutthroat competitive world of New York publishing but give that a shrug. That's not the film's breath and blood.

The film does test your patience. Although in its vibrant, sizzling opening it sprays the screen with chick energy in quick clips of frenzied shopping-based action, the number and variety of shrieking women, plus a cat fight or two, pushes the film toward slapstick. Still, it's well-managed and leaves Isla Fisher with a reasonable amount of dignity. She is a very talented comedienne and her antics in this film, in the impressive visual dynamics offered by director and editor, come off quite fascinating, at least at the beginning. But the portrayal of pulsating wackiness of women in the throes of shopping ferocity in energetic images, sometimes almost in montage, cannot sustain itself past halfway in and the film does find itself scrambling for material to maintain its peppery energy.

As to how convincing it is in the matter of the shopaholic, well, it's a hilarious yet sad concept, and the sequences of the Shopaholics Anonymous meetings is pretty funny, especially when she starts to actually subvert them.

Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher), is a grand embodiment of seemingly patholically acquisitiveness, a self-managed princess who pontificates openly that, from childhood on, her goal in life went on a laser course to get a credit card and a belief that "A man will never love you as well as a store."

When it comes to shopping she is, in every sense of the word, an addict. As with an alcoholic or a gambler, this addiction has her buried in debt. What's her dream ideally? She'd like to work for a major fashion magazine. And she knows exactly which one, but they're not welcoming. But what does happen quite by accident is that she inadvertently gets a job as advice columnist for new financial magazine, Successful Saving, a money mag run by handsome young Britisher Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy). Like wow, she's an immediate celeb. Still, her drowning debt is poised to destroy her career. She is forced to face herself down and re-order her life's choices.

Still, her new success is encouraging even though she hasn't the vaguest understanding of finance and she's supposed to give advice in the column she writes.

Meantime, to add some spice, a relentless dorky debt collector (Robert Stanton) keeps tracking her down -- she explains his presence as a "stalker."

It's hard to say if you or you or you will enjoy this. Just take it as a possibility and have fun with it.

Trunki Ride on Suitcase - A Must Have When Traveling With Children

Have you seen the new Trunki ride on suitcase? If you travel with young children it may be the answer to your travel difficulties. The trunki is the newest addition to child sized luggage that doubles as a ride on toy.

Children like to carry their own bags. But, as parents who have traveled through airports with young children know, their little legs have a hard time making it through the vast area of the airport. This becomes even more tiring as they try to carry their own luggage. They soon realize how tiring the process can be and want you to carry not only them, but also their luggage.

The trunki ride on suitcase is perfect for travel. The sturdy case is made to last and stand up to rough travel conditions. It weighs only four pounds when empty, but is durable enough for the child to sit on it and be pulled along by parents, or push themselves along as a ride on toy. The case is big enough to pull more than one child.

The wheels will roll well on tile or low carpet. The case measures 18x18x12 and is approved for airplane carry on luggage. It's perfect for carrying not only clothes, but snacks, games and toys for the flight. While it may not carry all the clothes for a long trip, it will hold a couple of outfits along with small items to keep the child entertained throughout the flight.

The trunki comes in several colors and is sure to have other parents looking in envy as they watch you easily pull your child through the airport.

I just love this. Every since the Emmy's last weekend people have started to noticed Heidi Klum's tattoo that she has on the inside of her arm. Everyone is making such a big deal about it. I for one think it is great.

The reason people are making such a big deal about it is because Heidi is considered one of the most beautiful models in the world. Thus, for some reason meaning that she can't have tattoos. Well Heidi proved everyone wrong and got one and to be honest I think it looks great. And to all those people out there who think tattoos take away from you beauty look at Heidi and you will see that it absolutely does not.

The truth of the matter is Heidi has had this tattoo for while now. I knew this because I noticed she had it way back in May when she first go it. Heidi doesn't understand what the big deal is about her tattoo but since Sunday she has been asked about it quit a bit.

This is what Heidi said about her interesting abstract type tattoo with three little stars.

"I've had it since May. My husband and I always get married every year. It was our fourth wedding, and we wanted to have our names tattooed together."

"So it's my husband's name and our three children, their initials, in the (three) stars," she added.

I personally think it is great that Heidi is passing it off like it is no big deal and she is right, it isn't. I also think that whatever language she got Seal's name in is very cool.
