Oops, He Did It Again

Jared, one of our favorite bloggers and the wizard behind pinkisthenewblog.com posted these pink-bedecked photos of Seal arriving in Hamburg with the toes of one foot painted black. Jared justifiably disses Seal's manpris (real men don't wear short pants, boys) and also had strong feelings about the toes, writing "I really hope that wifey Heidi can overlook these terrible mistakes on Seal's part and won't end up divorcing him."

What troubles us, however, is not the painted digits, or even the asymmetrical pedicure. It's just that Seal has taken the term "signature color" to a new level. He sported the same shade picking up little Leni from school in May and out on the town with wifey in June.

Variety is the spice of life, Seal, and summer calls for a bold new shade. Maybe, um, pink is the new black after all. For a look that's really radical, and not just run of the mill, he could try Guilty Pleasures, a hot pink that's one of Essie's new summer shades. Just the thing for a man who's confident in his masculinity...

One Non-Blond

You know how after a breakup, it helps to do something radical to your hair, like getting a pixie or becoming a redhead? Well, little Maddox Jolie-Pitt has learned the lesson that emotional trauma = need for new hair look early. As he prepares to become the oldest brother to two more fabulously gorgeous siblings, little Mad might have felt like he needed a little bit of attention for himself. Which explains the blond highlights transforming the tips of his trademark Mohawk as he and his uncle James visited Angelina at the hospital in Nice yesterday. It's a whole new look for Mad and we say "Vive la difference!"

Lunchtime Poll--Why Is This Woman Smiling?

Has Mandy Moore just remembered where she left her bra? Or has she found a bust firming cream that really works? Caffeine is supposed to have a firming effect, and a lot of products, like Pevonia Botanica's Restore Neck and Bust Cream, include it as their active ingredient. But do they really work? Or are perky boobs more likely to be the result of genetics or a quick visit to Heidi Montag's surgeon. Let us know what you think--do you use a bust cream?

No Fun in the Sun

Didn't we have enough to worry about at our cookouts, between feeling guilty about the mercury in our otherwise healthy and low-cal tuna steaks and weighing the pros and cons of bug spray (sure, it will spare you the West Nile, but once it's killed all the ladybugs, birdies and bees, there won't be any nature to romp around in).

Now, in our holiday weekend edition of today's New York Times, we learn that sunscreen is suspicious, too. Apparently, the Environmental Working Group only recommends 15 sunscreens over SPF 15, the editoral reveals: "The others either did not protect skin enough from some radiation that can cause skin cancer or included ingredients linked to possible health hazards." And we were just concerned with not getting the stuff in our eyes.

The article suggests that we keep wearing sunscreen and also don "more protective clothing and big hats," which only brings up sad images of Ashley and Mary Kate in their NYU first-years, bag-lady-chic days.

It's a BBQ buzzkill, sure. But right now, our main concern is, who's going to tell hatless, kayaking lovebirds Portia de Rossi and Ellen de Generes? Just when they thought it was safe to go out in the water.

Liner Notes

We knew the L.A.M.B. designer was a fashion maven but this is proof that she's a beauty addict, too. She's just knocking about London, running errands, waiting to give birth, and, oh, she manages to have perfectly lined eyes. That's not Just a Girl in our book--it's one hot mama.

Hat's All, Folks

A hat is one of the best ways to prevent sun damage to your face (along with sunscreen, natch!). But it always seemed somewhat dorky in a "Britney Spears rockin' the cowgirl hat trend way too long" kind of way.

Well, celebs are coming to the rescue, with a plethora of top toppers they've been toting all over the globe–Cameron Diaz in L.A. with her man Paul Sculfor at the Getty Center, Uma Thurman's fiancé, Arpad Busson in Saint-Tropez trying to stay wrinkle-free for their wedding, and Beyoncé watching Jay Z at the Glastonbury festival.

And hats are taking over TV-Land, too. Even Blair Waldorf seems to be on board; that's Chuck Bass's chapeau she's stolen in a scene from upcoming Season Two of Gossip Girl, filming now in the Hamptons.

Animal Retraction

Remember on Friday when Lilly Allen and I asserted that the only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize? Well, the pink bow sported by Maui, Ashley Tisdale's pup, at L.A.X. this weekend clearly proves us wrong. We'll have to discover some other distinction...like opposable thumbs or the ability to speak. In the meantime, Maui, our sincere apologies for underestimating you. Lookin' good.
