Celebs over 40 aging fantastically

TMZ has put together a gallery, "Aged to Perfection", of 15 celebs over the age of 40 (except one Catharine Zeta Jones who's 38) who are just aging fabulously. You must check it out.

Most in the gallery are in their 50's, and damn! these folks make the road trip to the senior years look sensational. Believe it or not, Sharon Stone turns 50 next year.

How fatty is that fast food breakfast sandwich and other noshy bits around the skinny-sphere

• Ever wonder just how much fat and calories are in those breakfast sandwiches from fast food places like Mickey D's, Arbys, Starbucks, Noah's Bagels, or Rachel Ray's new shill-fest Dunkin' Donuts? FitSugar has put together this informative list to give you the big picture. Yikes! Yogurt is looking so much better now. [FitSugar]

Upgrading to Vista can get brutal in this Mac vs. PC ad

On the Late Show with David Letterman, they did their own spoof of the Mac vs. PC ads featuring Chris Elliott and what it takes to do a Vista upgrade. These ribs always give me a good laugh.

Men get photoshopped for magazines too

Most of the photochopping that gets done in fashion is done on the ladies, but men are not immune from the digital nip/tuck as well. TMZ has this poll going on as to whether June/July Men's Fitness cover boy Andy Roddick has been given digital bulk in his arms and pecs. See what their readers think.

Andy is one studly guy but seriously, I think this cover looks so doctored. His face almost looks like it's plastered onto another body. It's not natural looking there. What do you think?

How to look better in pictures

Whenever I see myself in pictures, I'm either closing my eyes or I'm slumped because of my bad posture. Got the same problem? Slumping is not pretty because it makes you look 10 pounds heavier than you are. So, stand/sit up straight when that camera is on you. This video from Elastic Waist offers some really useful tips by pro photographers Kate an Camilla on how to look better when getting your picture taken. Thank goodness!

Restylane - Supermodels use it, so should you. Right.

Supermodel, once upon a time ago, Frederique Van Der Wal shills for Restylane, or chemically known as Hyaluronic acid, a lip plumper and derma filler shot into your face to smooth out wrinkles and give you Angelina Jolie size lips. Wow. A former Victoria Secret model who admits to cosmetic procedures, and gets paid for it. Isn't the beauty business just fantastic?

Is there some reason she's not smiling? I mean if Restylane is truly redefining beauty, then Frederique should be kicking up her heels yelling Yipppeeee! Instead she looks slightly constipated. Maybe some Flax will help.

Photodropping away 100 pounds from this model

I've seen some pretty amazing things with photo retouching but this one really blew me away as this plus size model is widdled down to a skinny Minnie. It literally looks like she dropped 100 pounds in an afternoon. See people. You can't always believe what you see in magazines. Photo retouching software is a powerful tool for reality distortion.

Leonard Nimoy photogs nude zaftig ladies

You read right. Leonard "Spock" Nimoy has spent the last 8 years photographing nude obese women, and currently has a "Full Body Project" gallery show going on in Northampton, MA. On the topic of too-skinny models, Spock says:

“The average American woman, according to articles I’ve read, weighs 25 percent more than the models who are showing the clothes they are being sold. So, most women will not be able to look like those models. But they’re being presented with clothes, cosmetics, surgery, diet pills, diet programs, therapy, with the idea that they can aspire to look like those people. It’s a big, big industry. Billions of dollars. And the cruelest part of it is that these women are being told, ‘You don’t look right.’ ”

See. Spock gets it. So how did Nimoy start snapping zaftig women in the buff? It started when a 250-pound woman asked him to photograph her after meeting Nimoy at a showing of his "Shekhina" series - sensual, provocative images of naked women in religious Jewish wear. Nimoy was impressed by how confident this obese woman was in her body, and it got him interested in shooting more obese women like this lady.

Leonard Nimoy is an unlikely champion for fat body acceptance, but heck, if his stuff is good then all the better.

Fergie misses lover like a kid misses their blankie

The video to Fergie's new song "Big Girls Don't Cry" is out featuring the high waist pant look, good for the skinnies, and Heroes Milo Ventimiglia, the super power absorbing bro of yummy Adrian Pasdar, our future president.

This song is one of those where the video is more memorable than the song itself. And the lyrics are deep. Seriously, she sings:

"And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But Ive got to get a move on with my life
Its time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry"

Fergie's 32 years old. Aren't big girls like 13? Just asking. Enjoy!
