Talk about an odd pairing.  What do you think these two talked about?!  I’m almost as interested in hearing their boy gossip as I am in knowing what the hell they’ve done with their hair to make it so freaking shiny.  (My secret?  A cold water rinse, and then a fine mist of shine spray on the bottom half of hair, avoiding the roots.  Shine = gorgeous.  Grease slick = not sexy.)

 Was that finale a shocker or what?  The ever-adorable Kris Allen took it all last night, paving the way for rock God Adam Lambert to make the freaky record of his dreams (and mine!).  Despite the howls of protest, I think in the end it’s truly a win/win situation.

Kris Allen could not be any cuter.  The twelve-year-old girl in me screams in glee.  As long as they stock his album with more “Heartless”-like performances (and less schmaltzy “No Boundaries” stuff), it’ll be a huge hit.  He stands to be one of the most successful Idols ever.

Ah, Glambert.  I heart you.  Finish the Idol tour madness as quickly as possible–we await your genius!

Kris Allen’s cute-as-a-button wife Katy Allen.  I fervently hope stardom doesn’t wreck the relationship between these two.  Stay Conway, Kris ‘n Katy!

The divine Carrie Underwood, sporting a messy-but-chic updo.

Fergie’s eyebrows always confuse me.  They seem over-Botoxed.

Christina Applegate–casual, but cool!  Anybody else sad Samantha Who? was cancelled?

My Flip camera saw major action this weekend!  While backstage at Wango Tango, I took several videos in the gifting suite, in the celebrity lounge, by the red carpet, and by the celebrity trailers.  Check them out, including a video of Kelly Clarkson’s arrival, Lauren Conrad clutching my book, Lady Gaga and Perez Hilton on the red carpet, Fergie getting her makeup touched up, and more.   (For the full spate of videos, check out my YouTube page: youtube.com/jolienyc!)

Facialist to the stars Sonya Dakar has it in for me. How else could you explain the three hour-plus skin workout she put me through recently? While I lay helpless on her table, she buffed, extracted, massaged, peeled and pummeled my skin into submission, focusing on my rosacea, dermatitis and irritation, and explaining that skin like mine required a complex combination: “Kiss, punch…kiss, punch,” she said in her throaty European accent, fussing over every inch of my face.

It was the most painful facial of my life.

My complexion has never looked better.

After the Facial Fitness Treatment, Sonya’s regime included a Diamond Peel, Oxygen Facial and series of light treatments, followed by strict instructions to avoid gluten and dairy, use only mineral makeup (phew, I’m way ahead of her!) and focus on my problem areas with samples of her famed skincare products. While I was at Lucky magazine, I was addicted to Sonya’s goodies, so I eagerly accepted mini-samples of her Omega-3 Repair Complex, Hydrasoft Lotion and Soya Wash (all excellent for super-sensitive, problem skin like mine), and also have been using the Green Tea Mask, Enzyme Peeling Cream and Drying Potion. I left the office slathered in Calamine-esque Drying Potion, looking like the most glamorous refugee you’ve ever seen, but was assured that, when super-fabulous clients like Drew Barrymore or Fergie leave after their facials, they’re similarly worse for the wear.

It was completely worth it–genuinely, I cannot recommend her products more highly–but sadly, the goods don’t come cheap. However! I’m super excited to announce that Sonya has agreed to come on board with ol’ Jolie as a skincare guru, answering your most pressing skincare questions. Sonya is one of those no-nonsense personalities that you either love or hate. Jolie being a little bit of an acquired taste herself, naturally, I adored her! Leave me your questions below, and I’ll do my best to have her answer them for you!
