An US Weekly photo retrospective?  Yes, please!  ::Rubs hands gleefully::   Let’s meander down memory lane, shall we? 

Jennifer Aniston’s attractive no matter how you (ahem) slice it, but this 90’s poet-shirt monstrosity does no favors.  And remember when baring your belly-button was considered chic?

Before Angelina Jolie earned her Sainthood, slimmed her nose and trimmed her lips.  Hot, but in a dangerous, “I will sleep with you and then disembowl you kind of way.” 

So that’s what Nicole Kidman looks like when you can see expression in her face!

I can summon absolutely no excitement for this cover, even after two cups of coffee.  I’ve just realized that it’s been months (nay…years?) since I’ve even cracked open a Vogue, which used to be one of my favorite magazines.  Why the magazine fatigue?  Honestly, it extends across the board nowadays.  I feel like I’ve read the same article over and over and over, and the images rarely excite.  Alas.  At least the movie Australia does look pretty cool (the trailer gave me goose bumps in the theater!).

After growing up in Georgia, country music holds a special place in my heart.  (Nowadays country is so crossover that it’s basically indistinguishable from pop!)  Last night’s Academy of Country Music awards in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand brought out several high-profile stars like Nicole Kidman, Taylor Swift, Julianne Hough, and Queen of them All, Carrie Underwood.  Loving the fringe, Carrie.

I normally have issues with Carrie’s makeup team, who seem to delight in giving her a perennial five-o-clock-shadow “tan”, but she was looking mighty flawless…if a bit, well, country!

Nicole Kidman’s glowing, but I’d gently suggest to her dermatologist to go easy on the Restylane in the lips next time.  We don’t need a Meg Ryan/Melanie Griffith situation here
