After years of entertaining the world from a glass walled room overlooking Time Square, TRL is now calling it quits. The once iconic music video countdown show held their final show Sunday night. MTV pulled the plug on its most influential franchise “following years of declining ratings.” The TRL finale was a star filled occasion with artists Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Beyonce, and Justin Timberlake stopping by to name a few. TRL will be replaced by FNMTV.
Former supermodel and current host of The Tyra Banks Show can’t believe what is happening to teens. An anonymous survey of 10,000 teenage girls and young women provided results that will shock and scare parents. The survey was conducted over the summer on TyraShow.com, the Web site of “The Tyra Banks Show.” The Survey found:
Caffeine can do more then just wake you up in the morning. A new study shows that “caffeine might help inhibit, and possibly even reverse, damage to skin caused by the sun.” However, don’t start downing excessive cups of Starbucks thinking that you’re preventing skin cancer. For the caffeine to have an impact, it has to be applied topically.

Other possibilities could include “differences in sweat and oil gland production between men and women, the frequency of moisturizer or cosmetics applications, skin thickness or hormone production.”
Stem cells are being found in places scientists once thought was impossible. Recent research from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet reveals completely new properties of the skin’s stem cells. “The stem cells don’t behave at all in the way we’d previously thought, and are found in unexpected places”, says Professor Rune Toftgård, one of the scientists at Karolinska Institutet responsible for the study.
Sleep is related to beauty. Sleep deprivation is serious and can cause many problems including:
What’s more important to you…food or beauty? “According to a British e-tailer, one-third of women in the U.K. would prefer to eat less than cut their beauty spending.” With a recession looming, it’s interesting to note that although people deliberately cut back spending on almost everything they tend to not cut back their spending on beauty products and services. I guess that just shows people would rather be poor and beautiful than rich and ugly.
