Sassy senorita: Jennifer Aniston put her rhythm to the test as she joined dancers on stage at the Corral de la Moreria club in Madrid


As a former star of Friends and now a staple of Hollywood romantic comedies, Jennifer Aniston is well known for her comedy skills.

But as she promoted her latest film The Bounty Hunter in Madrid this week, the 41-year-old actress surprised her fans by showing off her dancing skills.

Showing off her toned legs in a little black dress, Aniston showed she was game for a laugh as she joined a professional flamenco dancer on stage.


Ole! The actress got right into the spirit of things


Aniston took to the stage in the Corral de la Moreria club in Madrid on Tuesday night after attending the Spanish premiere of The Bounty Hunter with co-star Gerard Butler.

Before her onstage antics, Aniston was spotted cuddled up to the Scots actor, who refrained from displaying his dance skills with the flamenco band.

During Aniston and Butler's European promotional tour, they have done little to dispel romance rumours by spending increasing amounts of time together

The pair took some time out from their hectic promotional schedule to take a dinner cruise up the river to see the sights of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and the Place de la Concorde last weekend.

And a source close to the actors told People that they stayed very close, 'hugging and touching each other', as they dined on green salad and grilled chicken and lobster, washed down with champagne.

They have been at the centre of rumours about their relationship ever since they began filming together, but they have consistently denied they are dating.

From Paris they travelled to Germany where they attended the Berlin premiere of The Bounty Hunter, which translated as Der Kautons-Cop.

The film is an action comedy which tells the story of struggling bounty hunter Milo, played by Butler, who finds out that his next assignment is his bail-jumping ex-wife Nicole, played by Aniston.

Meanwhile, Aniston has revealed her surprising affection for British comedy in a new interview.

In the accompanying interview she admitted she grew up watching John Cleese and Benny Hill.

She said: 'I so love the British sense of humour - I was obsessed with Benny Hill and Monty Python as a child. Oh my god, and I am so hooked on Ricky Gervais.'

Despite frequently starring in romantic comedies, Aniston said she loves to try different film genres, but admits the public aren't so accepting of her in darker roles

She explained: 'With Derailed, I loved being racy. Love it... But people couldn’t cope with me being involved in rape and murder.'

While evidently looking young for 41, Aniston insisted she hadn't tried Botox yet, but hadn't ruled it out.

She said: 'I could do it, and I mean these lines are getting deeper every day, but when I tell you what’s happened to me – these lines are just about living.

'Look I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don’t starve myself in an extremist way.

'You’re not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I’d be devastated. My advice: just stop eating s**t every day.'

Scientists achieve record high energy particle collisions as Large Hadron Collider begins search for elusive 'God particle'

By Daily Mail Reporter

Ignition: Scientists react as they view the first particle collision at full power at the Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-France border


Physicists smashed sub-atomic particles into each other with record energy yesterday, creating thousands of mini-Big Bangs like the primeval explosion that gave birth to the universe 13.7 billion years ago.

Operators at the Large Hadron Collider created a record for the energy of particle conditions as they launched the search for the elusive 'God particle' that could lead to the discovery of fundamental new physics.

The collisions took place at an energy of 7 billion billion electron volts and at a nano-fraction of a second slower than the speed of light in the collider 330ft below the Swiss-French border.

Oliver Buchmueller, one of the key figures on the £6.6billion project, said: 'This is a major breakthrough. We are going where nobody has been before.

'We have opened a new territory for physics.'

The start of the experiment was delayed for several hours after problems with the power supply and an over-sensitive magnet safety system.

This led physicists to shut down the mega-power particle collisions while the faults were repaired.

The problems emerged as beams were injected into the collider this morning, but CERN officials were quick to dismiss any suggestion that it was a repeat of a major incident in September 2008 which seriously damaged the collider and delayed the full launch of the project until now.

Scientists hope the collisions will reveal the answers to some of physics' unanswered questions, including the existence of anti-matter and the Higgs boson - a hypothetical particle that scientists think gives mass to other particles and therefore all objects in the universe.


It's working: Physicists celebrate with a glass of champagne as the CERN collider project finally gets underway this afternoon


The higher energy is meant to increase the likelihood that scientists will be able to examine the smallest particles and forces within the atom.

It is difficult to achieve the necessary collisions because the particles are so tiny that they miss each other as beams are crossed.

Steve Myers, CERN's director for accelerators and technology, described the challenge of lining up the beams as like 'firing needles across the Atlantic and getting them to collide half way'.

Fears were raised after the collider's initial testing in 2008 that it could create micro black holes that would eventually endanger Earth.

But scientists at CERN dismissed any threat to the planet and said any such holes would be so weak that they would vanish almost instantly without causing any damage.


Discovery: The £6.6billion collider will recreate the initial split seconds after the Big Bang on a miniature scale


The collider, in a 17-mile tunnel under the Swiss-French border in Geneva, has been running smoothly since November when it was restarted following extensive repairs.

It was launched with much expectation on September 10, 2008, but was sidetracked nine days later.

A badly-soldered electrical splice overheated, causing extensive damage to the massive magnets and other parts of the collider some 300 ft below the ground.

It cost £26.7 million to repair and improve the machine so that it could be used again at the end of November.

It soon eclipsed its nearest rival - the Tevatron at Fermilab near Chicago - pushing its energy to 1.18 trillion electron volts, or Tev. Tevatron operates at 0.98 Tev.


Hopes: The start of the project this morning was delayed after electrical supply problems and an over-sensitive magnet safety system shut the collider down


Rolf-Dieter Heuer, the director-general of CERN, has said it is likely to take months before any scientific discoveries are made, partly because computers will have to sort through massive amounts of data produced by the collisions.

Mr Heuer said researchers hoped by the end of this year to make discoveries into the dark matter that scientists believe comprises 26 per cent of the universe. The better understood visible matter makes up only 4 per cent of the universe.

Dark matter has been theorised by scientists to account for missing mass and bent light in far-away galaxies. Scientists believe it makes galaxies spin faster.

A separate entity called 'dark energy', making up the remaining 70 per cent of the universe, is believed to be linked to the vacuum that is evenly distributed in space and time. It is believed to accelerate the expansion of the universe.

Other possible candidates for discovery are hidden dimensions of space and time.

Daredevil makes return Base Jump from 4,000ft peak after recovering from 100mph fall

By Scott Warren

Daredevil: Boole with his state-of-the-art suit


A daredevil father who almost died in a 6,000ft fall a year ago has returned to his death-defying pastime.

James Boole, 32, broke his back when he had parachute problems while using his winged 'bat suit', but has made his return Base Jump, gliding safely to earth after racing through the air.

'I felt ecstatic,' he told The Sun. 'It was great.'

The accident last Easter saw his parachute fail, his life saved by a soft landing on deep snow after jumping from a Russian peak.

He hit the ground at about 100mph, injuring his back, lungs, ribs and teeth, leading to a year-long recovery at his home in Tamworth, Staffordshire, which included wearing a body brace for three months.

For his return jump he chose the 4,000ft Mount Trento in northern Italy, and admitted to being terrified as he prepared to launch himself off the side.

After mustering the courage, he glided safely to 500ft before a successful parachute deployment delivered him softly to the valley floor.


In action: Boole and a fellow jumper speed through the air


'I really thought that I might never be able to jump again,' he said. 'As I stood on the cliff edge I still had some Elvis knee-knocking going on.'

His wife Kristina, 24, and 15-month-old daughter Melissa were waiting for him at the bottom.

He said: 'Obviously my family were very concerned I would want to do something like this again. But they understand what a big part parachuting plays in my life.'

Base Jumping stands for 'building, aerial, span and earth' - the range of four jumps its participants seek to make. It is illegal in most countries.

Kick-Ass child star Chloe Moretz says mother allowed her to say C-word in controversial film

By Daily Mail Reporter

Controversial: Chloe Moretz, star of Kick-Ass, pictured here at the Empire Film Awards on Sunday at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London


She readily admits that if she used the kind of foul-mouth language her character does, she'd be grounded for life.

But Kick-Ass star Chloe Moretz, who plays 11-year-old assassin Hit Girl in the controversial comic book film, says her mother gave her the go-ahead to use the C-word in the movie.

U.S. actress Chloe, who is now 13, says the hype over her part has been overblown.

In an interview, she said almost naively: 'It's a movie. Obviously a little girl can't beat up and kill huge heavy men. I don't see how anyone wouldn't realise it's not real.

'It's a controversial role, but it's a role I wanted to do,' she told The Sun.

Explaining how her mother Teri agreed to let her do the part, she continued: 'My mum reads every script before I go for it.

'She read it and loved the character because it was a challenging role and was something that would stretch me.'


Giving the go-ahead: The U.S. actress says her mother Teri read the script before her and allowed her to use the C-word in the movie


The young actress said at the premiere last week in London that her parents had read the script before she had, telling reporters: 'They knew exactly what was in it. I'm not up for violence, just for fun.'

But she later conceded: ' If I said a sixteenth of the words I say in the movie I would be grounded for the rest of my life for sure.'

Jonathan Ross's wife Jane Goldman wrote the screenplay for the film which caused controversy for being just a 15 rating despite the 11-year-old heroine using the C-word in her opening line: 'Hello ****s.'

After the premiere at London's Leicester Square, the flame-haired Jane led revellers to the after-party held at the Notting Hill home of pregnant supermodel Claudia Schiffer and husband Matthew Vaughn, the film's director.


Violent: Chloe plays 11-year-old assassin Hit Girl in the comic book film


A host of other stars joined in the celebrations, including the movie's young stars Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Chloe.

Their co-star Aaron Johnson was accompanied by his pregnant fiancée, artist Sam Taylor-Wood, who at 42 is 23 years his senior.

The film, based on a comic book by Mark Millar, has been criticised for its use of bad language, and features actress Moretz, who was 11 at the time of filming, repeatedly swearing and killing other characters.


Director Matthew Vaughn and Jonathan Ross's wife Jane Goldman who wrote the screenplay for the movie

Director Vaughn has previously defended the film's use of bad language, saying: 'It's pretty amazing that four letters can have such a powerful effect on people.

'You know, taboos have to be broken,' he added. 'It's a free country and you don't have to watch it. There are enough people who like this film to warrant it being made.'

The character, called Hit-Girl, slices off people’s legs and shoots bullets through a man’s cheek. In one scene, the young serial killer screams at her victims: ‘Okay, you ****s, let’s see what you can do now.’

In another, she tells her vigilante father she wants a puppy for her birthday. When he looks surprised, she says: ‘I’m just f****** with you, Daddy’, and asks for a razor-sharp knife instead.

But when asked by one U.S. interviewer about the suitability of an 11-year-old using the C-word, Miss Goldman said: ‘I think that’s the least of our worries.'

Meanwhile reviews have been in the main positive. The Los Angeles Times' Geoff Boucher called it a 'strange, scabby thrill ride that plays like Heathers for today's audience' while Variety's Joe Leydon called it 'bloody funny'.

Empire magazine, which has rated Kick-Ass five stars, described it as hilarious and vibrant' and The Observer's Elizabeth Day described Kick-Ass as 'a brilliant and inventive piece of film-making and looks set to become one of the box-office hits of the year'.

Did Victoria Beckham copy Osman? Posh dress is almost identical to one by fellow British designer

By Tamara Abraham

Copycat fashion? A Victoria Beckham dress (left) has been likened to a gown from last season by London-based designer Osman Yousefzada (right)


Was it all just too good to be true? A once peroxide WAG transformed into credible fashionista thanks to a self-named fashion label and a choppy haircut.

But today, Victoria Beckham was accused of copying a dress from a rival designer's collection.

A deep blue column gown, which she has called her 'sexiest dress yet,' has been likened to one by London-based designer Osman Yousefzada.

Victoria is said to have borrowed the pale blue gown from the designer's atelier last year, but returned it without buying.

Osman, whose fans include Sarah Brown, Mischa Barton and Tamsin Egerton, included the dress in his winter 2009 collection. Today he said that he was flattered that the former Spice Girl might have been inspired by one of his pieces.

'A lot of people have mentioned the similarity to me and of course it is very flattering,' he told Vogue.com.


Flattered: Designer Osman Yousefzada explained how his column dress had been inspired by a bath towel

'It is very flattering to think she may have tried my dress and been inspired to create something similar, since it means she must have liked the way the dress was cut and the way it felt to wear.

'I like to dress powerful, confident women so it's great to think the dress might have inspired her.'


Fashion credibility: Victoria Beckham in a design from her own label


He added that the elegant design had been inspired by a bathroom towel.

'I created the dress by wrapping my bathroom towel at first to get the shape, and then by doing the same thing with material and securing it with an internal corset, so the fabric is allowed to move effortlessly.'

Plagiarism or not, the suggestion is unlikely to put off the many fans of Victoria's designs.

Today a source close to the 35-year-old rubbished the rumour.

'Column dresses have been around for decades, probably even longer,' they told Mailonline.

'In addition, Victoria has had variations of the column dress in all her previous collections so any suggestion of plagiarism is nonsense!'
Since its launch in 2008, the Victoria Beckham label has been a hit with critics and celebrities alike.

Her form-fitting dresses, which feature hidden corsets and sexy zips running down the back of each piece, have been seen on stars from Elle Macpherson and Dannii Minogue to Jennifer Lopez and Drew Barrymore.

At her most recent show in New York on Valentine's Day she admitted that she was still learning.

'I still feel I need to prove myself - all my life I’ve had to prove myself. Each season, I have to better myself. I really want to grow as a designer.'

MAC Liberty of London Peachstock & Ever Hip Lipsticks! Photos & Swacthes!

I was fortunate enough to get both shades when they first came out in a swap! A girl was nice enough to go to the MAC counter and pick these up for me to swap for a couple of LE lipsticks I owned.

Peachstock- I was caught off guard when I opened the tube. I always thought Peachstock was a lighter color. I thought it was going to look exactly like NYX Orange Soda, or Myth with a more peach/orange tint. Its definately darker than I thought. I'm going to admit, I got a little nervous and thought it wasn't going to work on me, but it is probably one of the most flattering nudes I own for my skin tone. I highly recommend this shade if you're olive skinned and its hard for you to find the correct nude that won't wash you out or give you the appearance of concealer lips. This is the only Satin formula lipstick that I can wear alone. I don't like the Satin formula.. because I like my lips to look shiny.. and the Satin formula is more of a matte look. Also, it can be very drying if you don't apply a lip balm beforehand. But for some reason, this works for me. I love this lippie, and will most likely be repurchasing!

(I take pictures at funny angles sometimes.. I rotated it, but decided at the last second, I liked it better the way it was.. that's why my name is turned as well)

Ever Hip- I didn't know this was a Cremesheen until it was in my hands. Surprisingly, it applied pretty sheer. I had to apply.. and apply.. and apply. I thought it would be a lot creamier.. I really love the color though. Its a very vibrant coral pink. It looks like Vegas Volt and Shygirl had a love child. haha! 

Here are swatches of both shades..

What did you think of these?? What were your favorites in the collection?

A Peek at my New Betsey Johnson Handbag!

Early this week, my soon to be mom in-law treated me and my soon to be sister in-law to a new handbag! We went to the Saks Fifth Avenue (OFF 5TH) Outlet store. It was my 2nd time shopping there. When I walked into the handbag dept, I walked into heaven! LOL. I forgot what the discount was, but there was an extra percentage off of the already discounted price. I think 20-30%? So it was a great deal on lots of bags. I showed a little bit of interest in one bag in particular, and within an INSTANT, she ended up grabbing it and purchasing it for me. I'm still excited about this bag, I love it so much. I've been wearing it every day, but I think I'm going to empty it out and only wear it when I go out. I don't want it to be an every day bag and ruin it. It ended up costing under $150.. I don't remember the exact amount.

This bag is definately my style. I love bows, gold hardware on bags (gold in general), chain straps and really, anything different/unusual.


It's a very luxurious bag. It feels like soft glove leather and has a polished look. It fits my large cosmetic bag, small cosmetic bag (for brushes only) and my large clutch wallet.. and it's not too heavy.


I really like this feature. Its like a little lock. To open the purse you have to turn the little square in the middle of the bow.




The interior is beautiful as well!

They also had matching wallets.. and this beautiful LOVCAT wallet I really wanted. It was a peachy pink with a gold rhinestone heart. My heart is jumping at the thought of it.. lol, but I can't find it in google images. My "sister in-law" got a beautiful, ruffled black Kenneth Cole bag for an amazing deal.. I can't find any pictures of it either.. :( If you have a Saks outlet near you.. I urge you to check it out!

Thanks for reading, lovlies!

(Come to think of it, I purchased another bag a little over a week ago, I may post that one too. Its very cute and was a great deal at Marshalls!)

Alright, when I googled Betsey Johnson Bow Handbag and then Betsey Johnson Bow wallet, and I freaked out. Everything is soo cute. I had no other choice but to exit otherwise I would possibly go nuts.

A Bad Day & Bronzing Products I Love

Well ladies, I have some sad news to share. I got my first ticket today. Ever. The police officers were right at my street corner pulling people over. I am not sure how I was "speeding" since I was slowing down to make a right turn, but I guess they needed to make their end of month budget. Ugh. So upset.I cried for like an entire hour after it happened (a little dramatic, I know...but the tears

Review: NARS Chelsea Girls Lip Lacquer + Photos & Swatches!!

NARS Lip Lacquer

Product Description: High shine formula with sheer pigments of color for luscious lips day or night. This super-shiny formula can be worn alone or over other lip products.

-Unique texture prevents color from bleeding
-Transparent pigments with sexy shine
-Use alone or over other lip color
(Source: http://narscosmetics.com)

 I chose to purchase Chelsea Girls which is described as a "nude beige".

(the swatch is very accurate)


I would describe the color as a neutral, muted mauvey pink with a hint of warm beige. I was actually very surprised with the texture. It's very thick and applies very opaque. I definitely thought it was going to be more sheer and have the consistency of a lip balm. It has a heavy, slightly sticky texture to the touch, but once applied to the lips it isn't very sticky. On my lips it reminds me a lot of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte #2, but slightly pinker. The color is long lasting (because of the texture) and I think its a pretty universal color that would be flattering for all skin tones. The finish is shiny & it didn't dry out my lips. The only negatives about this product I can think of are, the pot is so small and deep that its sort of a pain applying the product. I have long nails so I can't really use my fingers, so I have to use a brush, which isn't very convenient. Something like the packaging of MAC tinted lip conditioner would work better for me. (A larger, less deep pot) Also, I don't really like the smell of the product. It has a yucky, chemical like smell.. I can't really describe it, but I'm sure everyone has smelled a product that smells exactly like this before. I keep sniffing it to figure out the smell, but its sort of giving me a headache. lol.. Also, since the product is so thick, I can see myself running out of this very quick. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with Chelsea Girls. :)

On my lips...

I got this hoodie for Christmas from my mom.. and I completely forgot about it.. I found it through my piles of clothes today. lol It was like $39 at TJMaxx.


And a back shot. ;)

Finally the Spring is here and the snow is gone! It's so exciting. Its going to reach the 70s this week.. woohoo!

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Liner in Black Ink + Photos & Swatches! PLUS BB Cream Shadows!

I thought I would give a little update on how my Bobbi Brown Gel Liner has been working out for me lately. (Refer to older post for Graphite Shimmer Ink)


I am still in love with it! My opinions about the product remains the same. It doesn't smudge on me, doesn't flake off, lasts all day and is very pigmented!


I received Black Ink in a swap recently.. maybe around two weeks ago and I've been using it just about every day. Other days I use Graphite Shimmer just to switch off. The colors are somewhat similar, but Graphite Shimmer is a little more of a charcoal black with a touch of shimmer and Black Ink is a flat, intense black. It is by far the blackest liner I own. (Hooray! I'm always on a conquest for the blackest blacks) I am still rating this product a 5 out of 5! ♥


And a side note, I came across some full size BB gel liners at my CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet). Unfortunately, none were sold separately. They were all a part of various BB makeup sets. They did have some Cream Shadows (which I thought were liners at first because of the same packaging) I like the consistency of them. They are buttery soft and apply very smooth. They also had several palettes that have a mixture of gel liners and cream shadows. (I actually got a brand new one in a swap.. pics at the end of my post!) I have heard from many others that they have found BB gel liners at their CCO's sold individually, so if you're interested in purchasing one, check your local CCO first! :)











And, this is the palette I received in a swap. What i love about the palette is, it's soo sturdy and each liner has a tight lid so the colors won't dry out. Thank you, Bobbi Brown for using your brains with this! :) haha.

For whatever reason, it was impossible to get a good picture of this palette. I didn't swatch any of the colors yet because.. well, It's so pretty I don't want to ruin it. LOL But, if anyone wants swatches, I'll gladly do that for you. This palette was available at my CCO (In Aurora, IL) and I caught a glimpse of it on http://www.allcosmeticswholesale.com here. OR you can purchase it directly from Bobbi Brown here. I'll post a review once I use it!
