Jessica Simpson gets physical in the new issue of InStyle, breaking out her trainer's plan to "get your best body now!" But she turns inward as well, telling the magazine for its November issue — which hits racks Friday (check out the full cover here) — that, "I was the princess in the fairy tale — then reality came crashing in, and I learned that isn't always how life works." She insisted that "I am in complete control of my life" after going through her divorce with Nick Lachey and, while she didn't call out ex-boyfriend John Mayer by name, she did reveal, "I've had my heart broken since my divorce. That's OK. I believe you fall in love more than once and get your heart broken more than once. Trust me, I have cried myself to sleep." ... Kanye West isn't exactly the kind of guy who needs an ego boost, but Jennifer Lopez and Pharrell puffed him up a bit anyway in recent interviews with MTV Europe.

Color cosmetics firms seek out latest trends
Euromonitor said the Asia-Pacific countries are likely to follow Eastern Europe and Latin America in delivering high rates of growth.China's color cosmetics market is forecast to expand by almost $600m between 2006 and 2011 while India is expected to grow the most in percentage terms.Growth is also expected in the mature markets with annual growth for Western Europe forecast to be around 2 percent.The mature markets are being driven by the spread of the naturals trend, which has moved from skin and body care products into color cosmetics.Euromonitor said mineral make-up is spearheading the movement because it provides natural sunscreen, long-lasting coverage and is suitable for use on sensitive skin.Bare Escentuals was described as a pioneer in bringing mineral make-up to the market although the big name brands and private labels have now followed suit.However, Euromonitor said retailers are increasingly willing to stock color cosmetics from small companies that are often producing innovative products that tempt consumers away from the big brands.
Eons.com Boomer Sex & Intimacy Survey Reveals Majority of People Over ...
BOSTON, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Eons.com, a social network for boomers, released the latest results of its Sex & Intimacy Survey, gauging the sexual attitudes and activities of 10,000+ respondents ages 50 to 65. According to the survey, 87% of respondents report that sex is an important part of their lives, 45% report having sex at least once per week and 88% are interested in spicing up their sex lives by trying something "new." The data reveals that the "free love" generation of the 1960's still harbors the same open attitudes toward sex, communication and intimacy in their later years. The Eons.com Sex & Intimacy Survey dispels common misconceptions about sex after 50, and how boomers are openly discussing the formerly taboo topic of sex. "Boomers are still shattering myths about health, sex drive and prowess," says Eons Founder and CEO Jeff Taylor.
Letters, 11/29: The dangers of MySpace
I read on Nov. 18 the article called "MySpace hoax ends with teen’s suicide."In the article I was extremely shocked by the behavior that was going on over the computer site MySpace. I personally do not have a MySpace page specifically for that reason.This article is just one of the many horror stories I have heard about the site. Not only are there people — adults and children — making "false pages," there are predators, and without truly knowing the person you don’t know who it might be. .
