Trend Alert: Green Nails

Trendsetters are in agreement: go green! And I’m not just talking about for the environment, but for your nails. The dark, edgy black is being replaced by hues of green- in particular pistachio and deep forest green. Stars such as the fashionable Rachel Bilson have been seen on the red carpet sporting this new trend. Cosmo Magazine also is loving the green, and both Usmagazine and Cosmo are showcasing one polish in particular: Chanel In Jade, available for $25 in stores. Beware, many of the popular polishes are actually selling out fast, get them while you can!

Miley Cyrus Named Worse Celeb Influence-By Tweens

Miley Cyrus Named Worse Celeb Influence-By Tweens

Ah, finally some Miley Cyrus news that I can agree with. Sixteen year old Miley has been named the 2009 Worst Celebrity Influence. To make it worse for Miss Miley, this was not a poll taken by adults that would be turned off by her choices, outfits, and dance moves. No, no, this poll is strictly for tweens- kids between the ages of 9-15. So why is her fan base suddenly turning against her? Why did 42% vote for Miley Cyrus, while Britney Spears only received 27% and Kayne West 19% of votes? My take would be that Brittney and Kayne don’t claim to be role models for tweens. They are adults; they make mature videos, sing about mature topics, that’s what adults do. But why is a sixteen year old dancing on a pole and making a music video where viewers can almost completely see up her shorts? I can only hope that people are realizing what a mess Miley Cyrus is, and can only imagine it is going to get worse before getting any better. I agree completely with this poll, taking by JSYK.com (Just So You Know), an AOL pop culture blog.

On the other side of the poll, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas, Taylor Swift, Emma Watson, and Justin Bieber were named “Best Celeb Influence.” Way to go.
