Nicole Richie Regrets over Tattoo


Nicole Richie says she now regrets having tattoos and piercings. Now that Nicole is a mother of two and has a more mature life, she regrets the wild mistakes from her youth. The wife of Joel Madden says she is embarrased by the scars on her body but aht she will keep her three tattoos - on her neck, her back and her foot.

She removed her belly button piercing when she was pregnant. She said that she is feeling more mature now and also more confident from her relationship with her husband and the love of her children. She doesn't need the confidence boost of tattoos on her skin to make her feel sexy and attractive. I believe her children will have a hard time convincing her to let them have a tattoo when they grow up.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo


This new movie is just coming out and it's not set in a tattoo shop in London or in Miami. It's set in a cold place with not much ink action!

The movie is bBased on the first book from the Millennium trilogy, by the Swedish journalist Stieg Larsson. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is set in Sweden. The film version has managed to cover most of the book's salient points which is very impressive.

The director of this thriller, Niels Arden Oplev, is taking us for a very unpleasant holiday in a very cold and dark Sweden and we are not dealing with beautiful blonde women but with serial killers and dirty family secrets. We start with the search for Harriet who went missing 40 years ago, aged 16. Her family wants to find the murderer but the investigation is slow and difficult until they get help from someone special - the girl with the dragon tattoo, Lisbeth (Noomi Rapace).

Don’t be put off by the black hair and piercings; she’s the one with the talent to find the truth. With the help from the girl with the dragon tattoo, we start to find out more about this sordid city which lead to the uncovering of a series of brutal murders. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a great thriller and with enough suspense to make you want to know who the killer is, unless you have read the novel before.

Peter Andre Starts Laser Treatment on Katie Tattoo


We were discussing this week the celebration of 50 years of LASER and the many ways we now use LASER in our daily lives. One of the many uses of laser is tattoo removal surgery and this is what Peter Andre has decided to do on is Katie Tattoo.

Although we all thought for a while that the couple would eventually get back together, it is now sure that it's not going to happen. Katie has married again to new husband Alex Reid, 34, and Peter needs to move on. Part of the process of moving on is also removing the tattoos. He's not the first man to have to make his way to the laser clinic to have a tattoo removed.

The Aussie singer, 37, has already had the first of three laser sessions needed to remove the tattoo. Last year, he still wanted to keep the word "Katie" tattoo despite the split. He was probably still thinking about his ex too much to commit to laser surgery but after a few months of dealing with the break-up and the many requests from Katie, 31, Peter decided it was time to have it done and he booked into a tattoo removal clinic for a £240 course of laser treatment.

He wants to move on and removing the tattoo is his way of doing it. Katie also has a tattoo of Peter's name on her wrist. She decided to have it covered rather than have surgery using a laser to remove the tattoo. She had it covered with a black cross a few weeks after the break-up.

50 years of LASER

We are celebrating 50 Years of Laser Innovation and to mark the occasion, there are plenty of exhibition organised to tell us more about the laser and its use in everyday life.

The laser was not discovered from a single breakthrough by one individual, but from a series of developments from Albert Einstein who first developed the idea in 1917, which was later experimented and verified, to other scientists who then completed the research which led to the first patent for a laser awarded in March 1960.

There are plenty of examples to illustrate the numerous applications of laser in our daily lives, such as computer transmissions via fiber optics, DVDs, CDs, laser surgery, measurements, advanced hair removal, reading a barcode or removing a tattoo. In other words, laser technology is impossible to escape.
When it was first invented, no one was sure how this technology would be used. Today, the laser is used as a scientific research tool and in thousands of commercial applications.

When it comes to removing a tattoo, the best options at the moment are covering, ie creating a new tattoo over the existing one to hide it or laser therapy. Laser tattoo removal is not 100% return to your skin tone but enough to leave only a few very faint lines.

By the way, what does LASER stand for? Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. That will impress your friends just as much as your new tattoo.

HIV fight before World Cup

We remember that many call girls made their way to Berlin during the Olympic Games. That's when we were told by the press that a major sporting even, means a lot of new tourists in town which mean a great demand for holiday romance or casual sex.

In June, South Africa will host a major sporting event and Britain has committed to send 42 million condoms to South Africa in order to help fight HIV before the World Cup.

An estimated 5.7 million South Africans are living with HIV. That's about 20% of all adults. There are about 1,400 new HIV infections and nearly 1,000 Aids deaths every day.

President Jacob Zuma has asked for help to make sure the World Cup does not end up in a health disaster. Britain is responding to the request and will give 42m condoms to South Africa as part of an HIV prevention drive before the start of the World Cup in June 2010.

It is estimated that up to half a million visitors will travel to the country for the event.

London Marathon - 6 weeks to go

Yes, we're almost there. Only 6 weeks to the London Marathon and many stars are training for sport relief.

Well, if you plan to run the London Marathon...think now about what to wear! it's a showcase of bodies from skinny to very very fit and you can show off your new tattoo if you wear the right gear. It has to be practical for running and also sexy! or at least try and make it trendy. Who wants to look like a turnip in front of the cameras? You will be sweating a lot too so you need to think carefully about your makeup. I won't be running because of the baby and it's not a good idea to run when you are pregnant.


The Virgin London Marathon is part of the WORLD MARATHON MAJORS, an official competition which gathers 5 major marathons around the world: New York, Chicago, Boston, London and Berlin !

The record for the London Marathon: 2 hours 05 minutes and 10 seconds in 2009 by Kenyan Sammy Wanjiru (1'11" from the world record of 2 hours 03'59").





If you want to rise to the challenge, I hope you have been training for some time. It's a bit late to get in shape before the big day. But we look forward to check out the legs and bodies and see who's had a new tattoo since last year.
