In need of some morning makeup routine guidance? Normally, I wouldn’t look to the likes of Whitney Port for my makeup tips, but, hey, the girl’s got a pretty, five-minute easy and everyday appropriate look! (I suspect she spent a wee more than five minutes in the above photo, but you get the point…) And according to Whitney, on “The Hills” they all did their own makeup, so she taught herself what to do and how to do it quickly. So, without further ado, here’s how it goes (complete with the exact brand name products she uses)....

“These guys, they’re just never gonna learn. Well, there’s this funny one. People might think this is a bit racist, but it’s funny. I was in Atlanta, I’m at the bar, and there’s a white gentleman there and he says to me, ‘How you doin’, baby girl, how you doin’? And you know, he’s aggressive, so I laughed a little bit. So he keeps going, and I had to say eventually that I wasn’t interested. And he goes, ‘Well, you know what they say. Once you go white, your credit goes right.’ He said it and I made him say it all night to the rest of the bar. But thank God my credit is already right, honey. I don’t need a man at all to do that.”

After we called for comfort food recipes to cook during the holidays, lots of you sent a whole mess of deliciousness our way! So let’s get moving or, um, cuddle up and get stationary with our first up, from reader Susan Ramirez.

“Every time it gets cold I love to make Arroz con Leche. It’s very easy, if you can make a soup, you can make this!”—Susan

How to make this insanely easy recipe, after the jump…

You should have known better. Or maybe you did; you just didn’t care. You’d heard the horror stories and the admonitions: “Don’t date a/you r… ” But some things are easier said than done, and forbidden fruit tastes so much sweeter.

I’ve developed a theory. Maybe I am just overly paranoid, but there seems to be some kind of curse associated with starring in a Lifetime movie. The pattern is: be in a Lifetime movie and then things go down the tubes. Take for example, former “American Idol” Fantasia Barrino. I knew that her Lifetime flick “The Fantasia Barrino Story” where she starred as … um … herself would be a stinker, but are you aware of what’s become of her life since then? She’s broke, her $1.3 million mansion is allegedly in foreclosure, she’s dating a married man who works at T-Mobile, and she’s supposedly starring in an unscripted VH-1 Reality show with Rudy from “The Cosby Show.” This is very, very bad people. I’m starting to think this Lifetime curse is legit. [Celebitchy]

After the jump, so more stars that have fallen prey to the Lifetime curse.

It’s almost summertime in Australia, and transitioning seasons is always tricky. Check out Michaela’s preseason look: a crisp white button down, cut-off shorts, and her favorite Wittner boots. It’s the perfect segue to summer… [Crazy that in this part of the world, we’re busy getting ready for winter!—Editor]

He’s done it before: left me alone in his apartment. But I haven’t done this—until now. It’s not as if these boxes haven’t always been filled with photographs; it’s not as if these leather notebooks weren’t always filled with his handwriting; it’s not as if the evidence hasn’t been lying around, out in the open, just begging for a little attention. But today the itch to explore is a little too itchy, and I guess our love is a little too, uh, lovely—so I’m not even waiting for him to leave.
