Renee Zellweger discovers sand therapy for Bridget Jones wrinkles

Bridget Jones would give anything to stand out in a crowd. But even the desperate diarist might draw the line at the arduous beauty regime endured by the actress who portrayed her. Renee Zellweger's polished red carpet look is down to a harsh routine that includes 'facial sand-blasting'.

The effects, however, are dramatic. The treatment transforms Miss Zellweger from a blotchy Bridget into a radiant Renee. Before every premiere, the 37 year old actress undergoes the process designed to rid her skin of blemishes and keep her looking young and fresh. her last session was at the Bliss spa in Chelsea earlier this month. the day before the premiere of her latest movie, Miss Potter.

During treatment costing 145, her face is firstly cleansed and exfoliated. Then it is wrapped in two sheets of cling film and a special facemask to open up the pores. This "pre-extraction oxygen wrap" shrouds her face, leaving only her nose exposed.

The cling film helps activate the oxygen and milk facemask under-neath, which opens the pores. after the film and mask is removed, an oxygen spray containing vitamins A, C and E is sprayed on her face and neck. oxygen kills surface bacteria to help keep skin clear and blemish-free. Then comes the hour-long "sand blasting", or to give it its technical name, microdermabuffing.

Aluminium oxide crystals, hailed for their anti-bacterial properties, are sprayed on to the face in a procedure which helps reduce age spots and the sun damage, and smooths out the onset of fine lines and wrinkles, After the three-hour session, the actress must avoid direct sunlight and not wear make-up for six hours.

A source close to Miss Zellweger said: "She discovered the triple oxygen facial a couple of years ago and been a convert ever since."

The Pearl harbor Beauty who has a seven year old daughter Lily from her relationship with actor Michael Sheen also confessed to recently flashing her bottom when her trousers split. She added : "My trousers had worn through so much you could see my bottom. My daughter Lily found it very funny.

I was mortified ! and that's not the only skin flash that Beckinsale has found herself in. The English born actress was earlier this month seen with a prominent bald patch during a shopping excursion. with her eyes hidden behind a pair of designer Aviator sunglasses, the London born star stepped out in LA, where she has a home, wearing a short sleeved grey jumper teamed with black minis shorts and a pair of knee high biker boots. looking suitably stylish from the front, it was only as she turned around showing off a distinct bare patch below the crown in her hair that things took a decided turn for the worse.

It is thought that the Pearl Harbor star, who is said to have been a fan of temporary hair extensions, may have acquired the patch as a result of this treatment. The actress is by no means the first celebrity to be spotted with thinning hair, the result of poorly maintained extensions.

Victoria Beckham, Christina Aguilera and Nancy Dell'Olio have all sported questionable bald patches in recent times.

Lindsay Lohan's Oxycontin Addiction

The National Enquirer has an explosive story in this week's issue about Lindsay Lohan's alleged use of the dangerous drug Oxycontin.

That's the same drug that dear Jack Osbourne battled with years ago and was lucky enough to get help and overcome his addiction. The Enquirer reports someone in Lindsay's "entourage" has scooped the mag with the news of her Oxy addiction in effort to save her life. This friend is claiming she uses a combination of cocaine, Oxycontin and Grey Goose vodka to get her fix and The Enquirer says this person passed a polygraph test regarding Lindsay's drug use and his eyewitness account:

"I've known Lindsay for the past two years, and she absolutely loves to get wasted," said the friend. "She makes Courtney Love look like a Girl Scout!

"It's frightening. She'll take cocaine which pumps her up, then painkillers which numb her, and then smoke cigarettes one after another. And when she finally needs to sleep, she'll take Ambien to knock herself out."

It's not unusual for Lindsay to stay up for days when she goes on one of her benders, he says."And the longer she goes without sleep, the more paranoid she gets.

"There are times when Lindsay really thinks people want to kill her. But she refuses to miss a night of partying."

This friend also told The Enquirer that Lindsay likes to go to clubs with her gang, get her Grey Goose drink on, pass around a bottle of Oxy to the peeps and holler out, "It's Oxy time!" Huh. And I thought all she wanted to do was act? They said she also allegedly carries around a silver Tiffany flask filled with vodka and wears a little tiny sterling silver shovel charm around her neck so she can snort her coke whenever she wants.

Beyoncé: You Can't Rush a Man Into Marriage

Fresh from last week's hot rumor – swiftly shot down by their reps – that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were getting married at a luxury Caribbean resort – the Dreamgirls star hints in the January issue of InStyle that it might be just a matter of time.

"You can't rush a man into anything – whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children," the singer, 25, says. "When he's ready, he'll let you know."

As for herself, she says, "I was never one of those girls who dreamed of a big wedding. Maybe me and my man will go away to an island; maybe we'll go to a church. I have no idea."

Checking out a report that she and her rapper beau were to have a $3 million ceremony in Anguilla, she tells InStyle: "It looks like a nice wedding – and very expensive. Unfortunately it's not true."

She wants to get married, though, she says in Sunday's issue of Parade. "My parents have been married for 27 years, and they're still in love. That's a great example for me. I know it's possible."

The most important thing in a relationship? "It's wonderful to understand and want the same things, but the friendship is most important," she tells Parade. "You know someone loves you by the way he treats you and respects you. You know it by how you both feel when you're together."

Dan Mathews: Congrats on another Top 10 album. Now tell us: Why did you decide to become vegetarian?

Ruben Studdard:Actually, I went to the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in NorthCarolina for a month, and they basically taught me how to live ahealthier lifestyle. But I wasn't a vegetarian then; I was just eatinglean protein—basically fish, really—and I did that for a month, and Ilost 40 pounds. And I actually came home, and there was a littlebrochure in my hometown paper—I ain't never told nobody this—but it wasa thing about cleaning up your temple. I think it was like aSeventh-Day Adventist magazine, and they were talking about "tryvegetarian." I went online that day, and I just started reading littlethings from different vegetarians, and it was so much easier than Ithought it would be, so I decided to try it, maybe two weeks afterleaving Duke, and it's been great. I feel amazing.

Madonna criticised over fur coat

Madonna has been criticised by an animal rights group for wearing what it said was a real chinchilla fur coat as she left a London restaurant.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) accused the singer of ignoring cruelty of animals.

It urged her to watch videos of animals being farmed for their pelts.

A spokesman for Madonna - who is set to design a range of clothing for high street chain H&M - said he was unable to comment.

Poorva Joshipura, director of Peta Europe, said: "We encourage anyone who wears fur to watch videos of these animals being electrocuted, caught in traps and skinned alive.

"Thousands of people, including Paris Hilton, have said that the videos changed their minds about wearing fur.

"Chinchillas are shy, intelligent animals who can live for up to 15 years in the wild. Yet on fur farms, these animals are violently killed while fully conscious."

Meanwhile, it has been announced that Madonna is to design a range of clothes for H&M.

The clothing line - including wardrobe staples and accessories - will be launched in March 2007.

H&M said the M by Madonna range would reflect the singer's "timeless, unique and always glamorous style".

It is the second time the 48-year-old pop singer has collaborated with H&M.

The firm also provided an off-stage wardrobe for her Confessions world tour and the singer also designed a tracksuit for H&M.

According to H&M's website, the company does not sell any fur products and only sells leather from sheep, pigs, goats and cattle that have been bred for meat production.
