Can't Have a Visible Tattoo for Work? Cover it Up With Kat Von D's Tattoo Concealer!


Kat Von D, celebrity tattoo artist who is best known for her show, LA Ink, has recently created a line of tattoo concealer. Von D stated that she created the product for times when someone wouldn't want their tattoos showing, such as for work or on their wedding day. The concealer is in the same form as a regular makeup foundation and it sold in small squeeze bottles. It is said that the foundation is water proof and will not streak on clothes. The product will soon be available at Sephora for $19-$25.

Would you use this product to cover your tattoos (if you have them)? If you don't have tattoos, will you be more willing to get one, knowing that this product is now available?

Check out the before and after pictures:

Clay Aiken Lands a New Record Deal with Decca Records


Decca Records recently announced their decision to sign American Idol season 2 runner up, Clay Aiken.

Aiken and his former label, RCA, parted ways a few months ago. Aiken is expected to release a new album with Decca Records in early 2010. There's no word yet on which type of record he will be making, but hopefully it will consist of original songs, not covers.

Signing to Decca Records probably wasn't Aiken's smartest choice. Most of the artists signed to Decca are unknown, with the exception of Boyz II Men and Ladyhawk. It's definitely not as big or as successful as RCA is.

It's good that Aiken will be getting back to making music, but I still think his career is going down the drain.

MTV is Moving Out of NYC!


MTV has recently announced it's plans to move outside of Times Square. It has not yet been stated where the new studios will be located at.

Being that MTV's TRL is now off-air, New York doesn't hold that much importance to MTV anymore, but it is still strange. I can't imagine MTV not being in NYC.

Where do you think MTV should move to? I think it could do well in Florida, around Key West.

Choice Movie Action Adventure
Winner:

Choice Movie Romance
Winner: Twilight
Australia
He's Just Not That Into You

Choice Movie Bromantic Comedy
Winner:Marley & Me
I Love You, Man
Role Models

Reaction:All of these movies are good. Having Marley and Me win was pretty predictable, though.

Choice Movie Comedy

Yes Man
Reaction:Why was Land of the Lost even nominated? I heard it sucked and could pass up for being a mild porn. I don't think that's suitable for 13 year olds. haha.

Christian Bale - Terminator Salvation
Dwayne Johnson - Race To Witch Mountain
Paul Walker - Fast & Furious

Bryce Dallas Howard - Terminator Salvation
Malin Akerman - Watchmen
Mila Kunis - Max Payne

Jim Carrey - Yes Man
Will Ferrell - Land of the Lost

Kate Hudson - Bride Wars
Amy Adams - Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

Reaction:Yet again, highly predictable. I would have liked to see Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron win, though. It would have been cute since they're a real-life couple.

Anne Hathaway - Bride Wars
Jim Carrey - Yes Man
Paul Rudd & Jason Segal - I Love You Man

90210
Fringe
Reaction:It's not fair to have Glee in this category. It really hasn't premeired yet. People have one saw 1 epidsode as a sneak preview. It's going to be better than all of these shows, though. Jonas Brothers definitely didn't deserve this! Secret Life should have won.

Winner:Demi Lovato - Sonny With A Chance
AnnaLynne McCord - 90210
Chelsea Staub - Jonas
Lea Michele - Glee

Daren Kagasoff - The Secret Life of The American Teenager
Cory Monteith - Glee
Danny McBride - Eastbound & Down
Reaction:Fox must really be trying to pimp out Glee by nominating it for categories when the show hasn't even officially premiered yet. Frankie Jonas really shouldn't have won. Does anyone even know who he is? What is he, like the lost Jonas Brother or something? Daren Kagasoff should have won.

Choice Rock Group
Winner:Paramore
All-American Rejects
Green Day
Kings Of Leon
Linkin Park
Reaction:I wish that AAR would have won! I think the fact that paramore has a song on the Twilight soundtrack helped them to win. I think all of these bands are about equal. No one deserved to win more than the other.

Crush - David Archuleta
Halo - Beyonce
How Do You Sleep - Jesse McCartney

Relapse - Eminem
David Cook - David Cook
808s and Heartbreak - Kanye West

Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon Male
Winner:Jonas Brothers
Justin Timberlake
Adam Lambert
Zac Efron
