WAYNE ROONEY told us loves our HAIR STYLES
WAYNE ROONEY has brushed shoulders with the biggest names in sport and showbiz - BECKS, MICHAEL JORDAN, P DIDDY and 50 CENT.
But according to chart gimps JEDWARD the Manchester United hero is no snob when it comes to admiration of pop stars.
The X Factor twins told me the England striker with the thinning thatch said he was a huge fan - and particularly fond of their daft quiffs.
Cool
As The Sun told yesterday, Wayne had a night out with John and Edward Grimes - and offered the use of his box at Old Trafford - after bumping into them at a smart London hotel on Sunday.
And John told me: "We were walking out of the foyer and heard somebody shout, 'Hey Jedward'.
"We turned round and it was Wayne.
"He asked us to hang out with him - he said our hair was cool."
KATE GOSSELIN Hair Styles
Lately, Kate Gosselin‘s hair has experienced as many ups and downs as the reality show star herself. This week, the 34-year-old mother of eight stepped out with a cropped bob — a stark contrast to the shoulder-length extensions she’d been sporting courtesy of her 20-hour makeover from celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson back in early January. But while rehearsing for her upcoming spin as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, Gosselin stopped in for a visit to stylist Gibson for a new cropped do. But, she’ll go long again soon enough with another set of extensions for DWTS — nothing looks better during a sexy samba than long, flowing locks. Find out about Kate’s views on winning DWTS and more about her new life in this week’s issue of PEOPLE

Selena Gomez is Ready to Launch New Clothing Line
Selena Gomez is going to launch her new Dream Out Loud line this weekend. The line will be available in Kmart store this Sunday. The Chief Marketing Officer of Dream Out Loud, Robin Creen, told the press,
Jung Yong Hwa and Seohyun take their driving test
Last week on We Got Married, YongSeo (Jung Yong Hwa and Seohyun) fans were left in anticipation for the couple’s driving test results.
Well, the results aren’t looking so good.
Last week, both of them had cleared their writing component of the driving test and looked in command when they went for their practical driving lessons.
On this week’s episode, the cute couple took their driving license test and sadly, both failed. In Jung Yong Hwa’s case, he failed at the last parallel parking course and did not finish in time, resulting in a lower score than expected. Seohyun, on the other hand, seemed to be doing fine until she ran over a curb on the corner of her course. Both seemed very flustered.
Jung Yong Hwa stated, “It was very embarrassing. I was supposed to look cool when I came back…The moment I saw Hyun’s expression, I missed my wife.”
Seohyun also stated, “I feel better that we both failed…From now on, I will not be egotistical.”
Keep your heads up guys! You’ll have another shot!

Mahasiswa Indonesia Juara Kompetisi Tekno Pangan Internasional
NEW YORK--MI: Mahasiswa-mahasiswa Indonesia berjaya di kompetisi teknologi pangan internasional di Chicago, Amerika Serikat, dengan tampil sebagai juara I, II dan III dalam acara "10th Institute of Food Techonologists (IFT) Annual Meeting and Food Expo" yang berlangsung pada 17-20 Juli kemarin.
Menurut keterangan dari Konsulat Jenderal RI di Chicago, Kamis, para mahasiswa dari Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) melalui tim "Crantz" dinobatkan sebagai Juara I dan tim "Zuper T" sebagai juara II; sementara para mahasiswa Universitas Brawijaya-Malang melalui tim "Arrice" muncul sebagai juara III.
Ketiga tim Indonesia berhasil meraih kejuaraan setelah lolos dalam seleksi babak final pada bulan Mei 2010 lalu untuk kompetisi teknologi pangan internasional kategori negara berkembang.
Pada babak tersebut, mereka menyisihkan 30 tim lainnya yang berasal dari Malaysia, Afrika Selatan dan Indonesia.
Saat kompetisi berlangsung di gedung McCormick Place --yang merupakan pusat pameran terbesar dan terkemuka di Chicago dan Midwest AS-- Tim Crantz yang terdiri dari empat mahasiswa IPB, yaitu Saffiera Karleen, Margaret Octavia, Stefanus, dan Agus Danang Wibowo, menyampaikan karya ilmiah hasil penemuan mereka mengenai makanan sarapan cereal "crantz".
"Crantz", yang terbuat dari singkong, kedelai, dan pisang, mengandung protein dan energi yang tinggi dan dibuat sebagai upaya untuk mengatasi masalah kekurangan energi protein pada anak-anak Indonesia, khususnya di wilayah NTT.
Penemuan tersebut dituangkan dalam karya ilmiah mereka berjudul "Healthy cassava flakes (crantz flakes) from the best local resources with high protein and energy for the bright future children in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia" .
Juara II, Tim "Zuper T" yang terdiri dari lima mahasiswa IPB, yaitu Zulfahnur, Henni Septiana, Laras Aryandini, Helena Widyasitoresmi, dan Eri Suhesti mempresentasikan hasil penemuan mereka berupa `puff cereal` yang terbuat dari tempe, pisang, dan jagung sebagai makanan jajanan yang sehat dan terjangkau harganya.
Melalui karya ilmiah berjudul "High protein triple mix puffed cereal based on tempe, corn, and banana to produce safe snack food for school-aged children in Indonesia", mereka memperkenalkan `puff cereal` sebagai jajanan sehat pengganti jajanan sekolah yang mengandung bahan-bahan pengawet dan pewarna berbahaya.
Pembimbing Tim Crants dan Zuper T terdiri dari beberapa dosen IPB, yaitu Dr Dahrul Syah, Prof Purwiyatno Hariyadi, dan Dr Ratih Dewanti Hariyadi dan Dr Eko Purnomo, dan Dr Feri Kusnandar.
Sementara itu, Tim Arrice yang meraih juara ke III, terdiri dari tiga mahasiwa Universitas Brawijaya, fakultas Teknologi Pertanian, yaitu Anugerah, Fathy, dan Daniel, menyampaikan hasil penemuan berjudul "Fighting for malnutrition in Indonesia by artificial rice based on cassava, and arrow-root with addition cowpea".
Hasil penemuan mereka itu berupa beras tiruan sebagai pengganti beras yang berasal dari padi --yang merupakan makanan pokok utama masyarakat Indonesia.
Beras tiruan tersebut dibuat dari singkong, garut dan kacang tunggak yang kandungan protein dan mineralnya lebih tinggi dibanding dengan beras dari padi.
Beras tiruan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi pengganti beras untuk mengatasi kekurangan nutrisi.
Tim Arrice mendapat bimbingan dari dosen mereka, yaitu Wenny Bekti Sunarharum.
Penghargaan untuk kemenangan ketiga tim mahasiswa Indonesia itu diserahkan dalam acara khusus yang berlangsung di Grand Ball Room Hotel Hilton, Chicago, yang dihadiri oleh sekitar 1.000 orang, termasuk Konsul Penerangan, Sosial dan Budaya KJRI Chicago, Sylvia Shirley Malinton dan Konsul Muda, Redo Ferdiansyah.
Dalam acara penerimaan penghargaan, para mahasiswa dari ketiga tim itu mengenakan pakaian tradisional Indonesia. Bagi Tim IPB, keikutsertaan merupakan yang ke dua kali. (Ant/OL-9)

Fashionista Friday - dori-tomcsanyi
I am in love with dori-tomcsanyi's look book. I came across these lovely designs
through a favourite read and just had to share. They are from an upcoming designer
from Budapest Hungary

Recently returned from Paris, where she spent a semester in The École Supérieure des Arts
Appliqués DUPERRÉ. Amongst others her constant inspirations are sensual illusions, i
nteresting knit and woven surfaces and applications. The use of leather, metal, wood and cheap,
unexpected materials like unused bottlecaps as decorative elements are recurring characteristics
of her pieces. Her solo works were featured on various fashion design blogs.She is also a
co-founder of KEPP Showroom, a special studio space of five young fashion designers in
downtown Budapest. Besides creating bespoke collections they also design shop windows,
costumes and do various styling work. When it comes to emerging talent in the Hungarian
fashion scene, they are the talk of the town these days.Her plans for the near future include
the MA and an internship at a well-known fashion-house.'

Natural Hair Contributing Editor: Simbi Animashaun
Growing up as the only "girl" in her family had its advantages and disadvantages for this NATURAL BEAUTY who was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Although her brothers attempted to rough up her up through their constant motives to turn her into a tomboy, she was able to look past their motives and turned to the world of fashion as an escape.
At the tender age of 14, Simbi Animashaun began to wear high heels, make-up, designer clothes, jewelry, and handbags. Her sense of style was definitely different from that of her peers. At age 16, she joined a modeling troupe at the local youth community center in her neighborhood. That same year, she joined the drill team at her high school. Here, she was able to join her love for fashion with dance. She would enhance the beauty of her dance-mates with M.A.C products.
In 2002, she attended Savannah State University, where she became a member of the sophisticated Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. "Dress to impress" was the motto for every girl who possessed the "pretty girl" mentality. Later she transferred to Armstrong Atlantic State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Middle School English and Mathematics in 2006. Two years later, she earned a Master of Education. Weighing her career options, she decided to take a middle school teaching position in Maryland. Currently, she is entering her fourth year of teaching and pursuing an Administration & Supervision certification at McDaniel College.
Trying to juggle her job as a teacher, pursuing a higher education certification, mentoring and sponsoring a youth group for girls, exercising, traveling, and working part-time at a fitness center took a lot of her time and she was unable to keep her hair maintained (including the change of climate). All of these factors would inspire her to become natural.
Why natural? Eliminating the use of lye chemicals on her hair and scalp caused a change in her attitude towards life. "I felt free. I felt illuminating. I felt in charge." she says. As she embarks on her natural journey, she has come in contact with many young women that are embarking on that same journey. Her favorite products include products by Cantu-Shea Butter- Natural Hair: Moisturizing Cream Shampoo & Leave in Conditioner, Super Shine Hair Silk, and No Drip Hair & Scalp Oil.
Naturally speaking, she believes that many consider natural hair to be unprofessional, embarrassing, not classy, and unbecoming of beauty due to society's norms on what beauty should look like. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore, since she has defined her individual beauty, she has taken charge of her natural hair and taken charge of her life.
Look for more Natural Hair, Products, and Hair Styles from this natural beauty!

As if 13 members in a band weren’t enough, it seems like we now have a new band with approximately 17 members!
Under TGN Entertainment, a new boy band will emerge with the name 20star.

The year of birth for the listed members range from 1989 to 1994, with A-Run being the oldest and Xeno the youngest.
Although only 15 members have been named, there are supposedly more members that will be added to this band. In addition, it has been reported that a member by the name of Noh Taepoong has already withdrawn from the group.

Kanye West Joins Twitter, Raps for Facebook
Kanye West is now on Twitter, and if you've read his blog, don't worry -- the ALL CAPS style is nowhere to be seen. Even better news is that he's already dishing scoops on his feed, telling fans his forthcoming album will no longer be called 'Good Ass Job' as once expected. "I'm bouncing a couple of titles around now," the 33-year-old rapper tweeted.
Within hours of his first tweet, West had racked up nearly 40,000 followers. He started out the day with some grammatically fast-and-loose tweets -- "Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley" and a quick correction, "Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )."
Read on to see Kanye's visit to Facebook HQ in Palo Alto, where he performed new raps a cappella on ... a conference table?

Selena Gomez is adorable, even when she's "talking" like a robot. The Disney star lost her voice due to strained vocal cords, but she didn't let that get her down. She still showed up for her spot on Lopez Tonight yesterday, though she had to answer all the host's questions using a Dynavox -- a computerized machine that spits out whatever you type in, in the funniest voice you can imagine.Selena showed up for the show looking gorgeous in a black dress and nodded and smiled and laughed as the device talked for her. George Lopez gave Selena his questions before the taping, so she typed her answers into the machine prior to the appearance -- hilarity ensued.
Disney star Demi Lovato said she won’t be changing her image with her new album.The 17-year-old’s third album is due out soon and she admitted she won’t be following in Miley Cyrus’s footsteps and going for something more radical.
She said to E! Online: “I don’t think it’s going to change my image, not drastically. It’s going to be what you’re seeing of me right now. It’s going to be very Demi.” She added: “It’s more mature. It’s definitely grown up, but in a classy way.”

She still showed up for her spot on Lopez Tonight yesterday, though she had to answer all the host's questions using a Dynavox -- a computerized machine that spits out whatever you type in, in the funniest voice you can imagine.Selena showed up for the show looking gorgeous in a black dress and nodded and smiled and laughed as the device talked for her. George Lopez gave Selena his questions before the taping, so she typed her answers into the machine prior to the appearance -- hilarity ensued.
Disney star Demi Lovato said she won’t be changing her image with her new album.The 17-year-old’s third album is due out soon and she admitted she won’t be following in Miley Cyrus’s footsteps and going for something more radical.
She said to E! Online: “I don’t think it’s going to change my image, not drastically. It’s going to be what you’re seeing of me right now. It’s going to be very Demi.” She added: “It’s more mature. It’s definitely grown up, but in a classy way.”

Miley Cyrus is on a great track," '80s singer Tiffany, now 38, told Us Magazine at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday. "I know that there are a lot of people that say well when you are so young you shouldn't be sexy."I think that in today's world you kind of have to be [sexy] -- to be competitive in the market. I think that she is doing it appropriately. And it's always a fine line there."
Tiffany appeared at Comic-Con with '80s rival Debbie Gibson. The two star together in an upcoming campy sci-flick called Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, which plays to their music rivalry. Gibson commented on Miley as well, but had a different take. She complimented Miley's vocal abilities, but said her new image is "a little too much too soon."
It looked like Lindsay Lohan might be getting out of jail this week, but the LA County Sheriff's office just confirmed that she'll stay put though the weekend, at least. We're sure she's not too happy about the news, but, hey, her original sentence was 90 days! Two weeks is nothing, right?The 24-year-old actress - who has served a week of her sentence for violating the terms of her probation for a 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) charge - had hoped to be released this week due to prison overcrowding, but a jail spokesman has confirmed that will not happen.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department representative Steve Whitmore said: "She won't be released this week."
Her sentence has already been reduced to 88 days because of time she has previously spent in custody, but overcrowding at the Century Regional Correctional Facility in Lynwood, California, means she could still be released as early as August 1.
Meanwhile, Lindsay received a second visit from her mother Dina and sister Ali yesterday. The pair were not allowed to see the Mean Girls actress at the weekend as they had used up their visiting rights on her first day in prison last Wednesday, and so took the first opportunity they could to see her. A prison source said: "Lindsay might get visitors after the official visiting hours are over for the other inmates for security reasons. It's for the safety of everyone."
Lindsay's estranged father Michael has also reached out to some Hollywood stars to ask them to help his daughter "get her life back" after she completes her sentence and subsequent mandatory rehab period. He told Nashville radio station 107.5 The River:

Kristin Cavallari may have played a mean girl during her season on The Hills, but she seems fairly down-to-earth when she's off-set. The California blond, who wore an edgy spike-embellished dress by The Blonds to the premiere of Salt earlier this week, has just announced she will be creating a shoe to benefit the children's charity OneKid OneWorld.Cavallari told PeopleStyleWatch, "I'm designing a shoe for Shoe Dazzle right now, which is like a one time, one deal show which a portion of the proceeds [will] go to my charity 'OneKid OneWorld'. I'm excited about that because I want to have my own shoe line so it'll be like a good first shoe to get my feet wet with."
Heidi Montag isn't exactly the kind of gal to shy out of the spotlight, hence our disbelief when it was revealed that she pulled out of the chance to star in another reality TV show. The blonde star was supposed to start up another show with her Hills co-star Jennifer Bunney this summer, but she apparently pulled the plug.Jennifer has revealed on her blog: "Originally I was supposed to do a reality show with Heidi , but right now it looks like some things have changed."
She has denied the pair had a big fight and claims Heidi has simply changed her mind - saying she doesn't know if she "wants to be in a reality TV series at the moment with everything going on in her personal life".
She added: "No we are not in a fight and no Heidi is not 'dropping' me to do reality shows with the twins."
Heidi - who has had multiple plastic surgery procedures - had been rumoured to be planning a show with Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriends, twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon.
The star had also talked about launching a music career after Heidi+Montag in Heidi and Spencer Pratt on the Set of 'Go With It'having the "best summer" of her life following her split from her husband Spencer Pratt. She has been working on a second album with Steve Morales - who has previously worked on records with Destiny's Child and Christina Aguilera.
Disappointed Jennifer, meanwhile, says her reality TV show is still going to air in January despite Heidi dropping out. She said: "Although I wanted to do this project with her, I also respect that she has a lot to deal with right now and have to decided to go ahead and move forward with it alone. My hope is that she will want to be involved later on."
