Jessica Simpson, age 29, is on the cover of May 2010 Marie Claire magazine. She is apparently not wearing any makeup and the photo has not been retouched in any way. See three more photos at Marie Claire.

Simpson says “I don’t have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business.”

Jessica is creating a new show “A Beautiful Me,” which encourages young women to feel comfortable in their own skin and love themselves as they are. It will launch after her current show "The Price of Beauty" completes its run in May.

What do credit cards and cosmetic surgery have in common? They're both plastic. In the video below, Heidi Montag discusses her plastic surgeries and how paying for surgeries and other luxuries with a credit card can multiply costs. This is a public service ad for credit card reform.

Angelina Jolie has a new hairstyle. In this picture, taken today in Italy, she is sporting chunky blonde (honey) highlights and sideswept bangs.

Nicole Kidman's hairdresser changed her haircolor from medium blonde to gingered toffee red for her appearance at the SAG Award ceremonies. See more about how her new hairstyle was achieved here.

Kate Gosselin has a completely new look for 2010. Her new haircut and extensions cost about $6,500 at the salon of celebrity stylist, Ted Gibson. See the video below about her new hair and how the look was achieved.

Cheryl Cole spends about $6,000 on hair weaves each year. Her hair extensions are not made of real hair, but are acrylic. Acrylic doesn't require glue so it's less likely to create bald patches.

The Daily Mail sums up Cole's other beauty related costs in a long article here. Check out her expenses for cosmetic dentistry, false eyelashes, fake tan, makeup, a personal trainer and clothes.

Here's Sela Ward on a magazine cover at age 53. In the video clip below she discusses her experience starring in the new movie, "The Stepfather".

A few years ago Ward wrote a charming memoir about her rise from small town Southern girl to Hollywood celebrity; Homesick: A MemoirShe wrote this book in her early 40's (her youngest of two children was born when she was 42) and here's what Publishers Weekly had to say about it;

This earnest memoir by Ward, the 46-year-old star of the 1990s sitcom hits Sisters and Once & Again and spokesperson for Sprint long distance, juxtaposes a jet-setting Hollywood image with a smalltown Mississippi past. More sugared up than a glass of Southern iced tea, the book will surely build Ward's reputation with her TV fan base, as it doesn't delve deep into Ward's psyche or tell all about the biz. It's targeted at the women Ward grew up with in Meridian, Miss. the same women she wants to reunite with now that she's returned there to begin settling down, loaded with cash, a Los Angeles venture capitalist husband and their two children.

The fascinating trajectory of Ward's ideal American woman's life she went from cheerleader and homecoming queen at the University of Alabama to fashion model and fixture of New York nightlife should intrigue readers who can relate to culture shock. There's also a smattering of intelligently researched treatises on civil rights and on the contemporary crumbling of social bonds. A portion of the book's proceeds will go to a foundation for abused and neglected children that Ward founded last year in Meridian. Her overly saccharine tendencies notwithstanding, Ward gives readers a cute story of a small town girl's rise to celebrity.

Here's a great video tutorial on how to get the Megan Fox makeup look. In terms of Megan's beautiful appearance, the two most popular questions revolve around how to get her eyebrow look and also whether or not she's had a nose job.

In the video below via Before and After TV, Katie uses an eyeshadow with a tiny eyebrow brush to recreate the Megan Fox eyebrow look.

We've been reading a lot about Michael Jackson over the past day and this article at Slate.com is the best we've seen. They basically say Michael Jackson was committing suicide, albeit a slow suicide over many years. They talk about his painful childhood years and his rise to fame. They also mention his physical transformation;

... an entirely transfigured physical appearance, morphing from an engaging and handsome African-American man into a misshapen Eurasian woman; his skin bleached, his face re-sculpted; his nose, finally, needing to be practically taped onto his face. He left his race behind and, in a sense, his family too. (The nose, which seemed to have borne the brunt of his obsession with plastic surgery, was his father's.)

Check out their story of his life.

Photo of MJ and fans above, taken in 1988, is by Alan Light.

Below is a video showing the transformation of his face after several plastic surgeries and skin color alterations.

Michelle Pfeiffer graces the cover of InStyle's July issue. She turned 51 years old a couple of months ago and is now starring (in a cougar role) in the upcoming movie 'Cheri'.

See a slideshow at InStyle where they show five sets of 'then and now' photos of Pfeiffer. No surprises here. She looked fab when she was young and she looks fab today.

Check out the interesting slideshow of how Rihanna's style has evolved over the past three years. The Cut calls her a beauty chameleon; they say few young stars possess the ability to shift looks so dramatically and with such ease.

This week's issue of the National Enquirer has some very unflattering photos of several celebrities who are alleged to have had too much plastic surgery.

Two big surprises are Daryl Hannah, who looks as though she may have severly overdone the use of dermal filler in her cheeks and Kellie Pickler who looks as though she's had a very extreme brow lift.

Here's a video of Susan Boyle singing Memory in the semi final performance for Britain's Got Talent today, May 24th. Her voice doesn't come across as astounding as during her first performance but her dress and makeup are startlingly pretty. Kudos to the makeup artist who created this look. See how the makeup look was achieved at a Susan Boyle makeover video on YouTube.
