Cosmetic Surgery Performed on Young People Has Spiked


Interesting factoid from a new report released by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: More young people are getting cosmetic surgery.

How many are we talking about? Last year, 64 percent of facial plastic surgeons saw an increase in cosmetic surgery or injectable treatments in patients that were under age 30.

The report, which polled 2,500 facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons around the world, also discovered that celebrities are a big reason behind the increase. (The press release for the survey specifically calls out Kendall and Kylie Jenner.) More than 80 percent of the plastic surgeons surveyed say famous people were a “major influence” in their patients’ decision to get work done.

Plastic surgeon Andrew Jacono, M.D., director of The New York Center for Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery, says social media is another big factor, adding, “plastic surgery at a young age is becoming the new normal.”

The report also broke down the top plastic surgery trends for 2015:


  • A natural-looking nose job
  • Eyelid procedures to make you look less tired
  • More prominent cheekbones
  • Jacono says the majority of his younger patients are looking for rapid-recovery preventative treatments to help them avoid larger procedures down the road. Those include Botox, fillers, lasers, and peels, he says, but he also hears a lot of requests for a “natural-looking” nose job.


However, he stresses that he tries to manage expectations. “I take the time to educate these young patients on the realistic outcomes of cosmetic procedures, because looking like a celebrity often times is an unattainable goal due to the fact that the majority of celebrity images have been altered,” he says.

The Strange Reason Why Your Skin Is Feeling Itchy Lately


When it rains, it pours. You’ve got a hellacious deadline at work, you haven’t done laundry in weeks (bikini bottoms as underwear, again), and…your skin’s itchy? Weird, definitely, but if this sounds familiar, it’s not a fluke—it’s fact, says a new study in the International Journal of Dermatology.

Let us explain: Stress activates the hippocampus, the same area of your brain in which itch signals are also processed. While you can’t do anything about the connection itself, OTC sedative antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, can actually pull one over on your brain by soothing the regions that sense relief when you scratch, so you can get a little release without raking your skin with your germ-harboring nails (ick!).

That said, the best long-term solution is to quit sending your body into freak-out mode altogether. And you totally can, even if drawn-out meditation sessions aren’t your thing.

“The next time you find yourself panicking or reacting to a situation with anxiety, consciously slow your breath,” says mindfulness expert Mallika Chopra, author of Living with Intent. “Inhale to the count of three, and exhale to the count of three. Even doing this three times in a moment of panic can shift how you approach a situation.”

If our thoughts become a little saner in the name of chilling out our skin, that’s a side effect we can live with.

Kohli wins it for India after Amir storm


There is a bar for international batsmen and with Pakistan it is never quite certain which way they will push it. There is never a shortage of spectacle when they play and that box was at least ticked in Mirpur. Pakistan crumbled to 83 all out in 17.3 overs - their lowest ever score in T20Is after batting first. There is a bar for international bowlers too and Pakistan have been vaulting over it for years. Mohammad Amir, playing his sixth international limited-overs match in nearly as many years, turned up like he hadn't missed a beat. He took out Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane for ducks in the first over of the chase, and a low-scoring game that had threatened to be one-sided was given the thrill India-Pakistan cricket is known for. But Virat Kohli's class and technique prevailed in the end and India held on for a five-wicket win.

Rohit, who had stood a class apart on a similarly challenging pitch on Wednesday, was beaten for pace and prodigious inswing before he even had his bearings set. The first ball, a yorker, may well have burned a hole through his boot and crashed into off stump. Amir could not have sounded his warning any clearer or louder but his leg-before appeal was turned down.

So he pulled his length back but kept the inswing going. Rohit was rapped on the pads again and this time there was no doubt. Rahane, coming as a late replacement as Shikhar Dhawan rested a niggle, saw a wide down leg before he too could not handle the ball bending back into him at over 140 kph and was trapped in front. Suresh Raina popped a catch to mid-on in Amir's next over and India were 8 for 3.

Kohli persevered amid the carnage, deflecting the memory of an inswinger that nearly had him lbw and an edge that flew over the slip cordon. Both were off Amir's bowling, but his full quota was all done by the seventh over. After that sensational spell of 4-0-18-3, India gained the breathing room they needed and Kohli's 49 off 51 balls secured a fifth T20I win in six matches in the lead up to the World T20.

As taxing as India's batsmen had it, it was hard not to think about their bowlers. MS Dhoni had won the toss and handed them first use of a green-tinged pitch. Ashish Nehra began in vintage fashion, moving the ball across the right-hander and getting it to bounce more than expected. A surprised Mohammad Hafeez nicked the fourth ball of the match through to the wicketkeeper.


At the other end, Jasprit Bumrah's natural bustle into the crease had the same effect but he was bringing the ball into the right-handers. Khurram Manzoor's pads weathered a lot of impact as he came in at No. 3 and played out a maiden over on his T20I debut. Sharjeel Khan was undone by Bumrah's offcutter in the fourth over and India's discipline was bearing the sweetest fruit.

Strano's spin switch paying off


Molly Strano can't really understand what all the fuss is about.

But when you take a combined 8 for 35 across consecutive Saturdays, in front of three quarters of a million sets of eyeballs on national television, it follows that people will want to know a bit more about you.

In the midst of her match-winning burst for the cellar-dwelling Melbourne Renegades that helped overcome off the ladder-leaders Sydney Thunder last week, Cricket Victoria boss Tony Dodemaide tweeted that she's "normally so shy and introverted".

There's a lot of sarcasm there; the 23-year-old Strano is anything but reserved. Rather, she's confident, articulate and with a decent story to tell about how she has wound up the inaugural Women's Big Bash League foremost finger spinner.

Strano was never meant to be doing this - not as a tweaker. Prolific former Australia batsman Melanie Jones originally plucked her from junior cricket with the boys in Werribee to her powerhouse club Essendon-Maribyrnong Park as a top-order bat. The state selectors were watching and Strano was quickly ushered into the Victoria side to play in the Under-18 national championships in that discipline. Despite notching a century for Victoria, the runs inexplicably dried up. Her career stalled, afflicted by a protracted case of the yips.

But Strano's competitive instincts and love of the game were undeniable, so she set about finding another way to make her mark.

"I wasn't making any runs, I was hoping I could contribute and take a few wickets instead," she told ESPNcricinfo ahead of the Renegades' final four group games this weekend in Adelaide.

While off-spin is arguably cricket's least forgiving craft, Strano assessed that it was also the one where she could reinvent herself to have the greatest impact. 'When you spin, you win' is a powerful school of thought in the women's game - look no further than the Renegades WBBL squad, loaded with nine twirlers.

"In the underage pathway spinners are really successful; they normally take most of the wickets, and they lead the wicket-taker lists," Strano said. "I just thought that I'd give it a crack and see how it goes."

It went very well, as it turned out.

Strano took the club competition by storm and earned her senior Victoria cap, bowling in tandem with club team-mate and Australia's incumbent wrist-spinner Kristen Beams. She led all-comers in the WBBL's precursor league last season; 22 dismissals at a miserly 12 runs apiece. Strano has 15 scalps to her name in this summer's WBBL; only four bowlers have taken more wickets, but each of them has also had the benefit of playing more games.

Tactically, Strano shares much in common with the traditional high risk/high reward approach typically employed by legspinners. Of late, her professional development has included working with former Test offie Nathan Hauritz, who now also calls the Renegades home.

"I'm a traditionalist ... I don't really look to shoot them out and bowl flat and try to restrict, I'm looking to take wickets, so I'm not afraid to toss it up," she said. "I like to watch Nathan Lyon bowl and he tosses it up, gets some nice dip and turn. I'm not a massive side spinner of the ball, flight and dip is my strength.

"Yes, sometimes you do get a bit of tap, but that doesn't bother me too much, you've got to have a thick skin these days being a T20 bowler."

Strano acknowledges that she's not yet a completed product, freely admitting she needs to generate more lateral movement from her tall frame to become more lethal as a spinner.

"I just want to keep developing and try to be the best players I can, so I feel I just need to add that to my game," she said.

Strano's passion (a self-professed "cricket badger") can be a hindrance when not managed. She overworked herself when playing in England over the winter ("every time someone wanted a net I was down with them") which resulted in a stress fracture that robbed her of three months at the start of this summer. She missed the entirety of the 50-over WNCL competition, and only made it back to the game in time for the WBBL due to thrice-weekly 7am sessions with Victorian high performance guru Tim McCaskill.

Her truncated season couldn't have helped her case for national honours this summer against the touring Indians ahead of the World T20 in March. Despite Strano's WBBL success - which included earning Southern Stars skipper Meg Lanning's vital wicket to kickstart her bag against the Stars - she wasn't waiting by the phone when the squad was named earlier this week.

"We have such a range and variety of spinners in Australia that selectors can choose from, so I didn't really have any expectation to get picked," she said, modestly declaring that 19-year-old South Australian Amanda Wellington would be currently closer to selection than her.

"It would be a tough job to break into that team considering it is so settled and they're so successful, but a girl can dream."

Despite moving from bat to ball it may very well be mastering her original skill that ultimately elevates Strano to a national debut. The Australian set up currently contains two finger spinners - Jess Jonassen and Grace Harris - but critically both are also established top six batsmen in their own right.

During the course of the WBBL Strano has been promoted from No.9 to No.5 in the Renegades batting list after strong showings (including a blistering unbeaten 29 against the Stars in just 16 balls). She craves being a true allrounder who features ideally at No.6 or 7, and believes her success with the ball makes batting all the more easier.

"I'm just enjoying my batting now that I'm a bowler who takes a bit more pressure of that facet off my game so I can come in and bat with freedom."

For now though, the focus is on finishing the season strongly with the Renegades, who need to win all their four remaining games this week to feature in the post-season. But when the cameras are switched off and instead of appearing on the scoreboard at the MCG Strano returns to the relative anonymity of club cricket, her positive disposition will prevail.

"I'm just rapt playing WBBL and state cricket," Strano said. "I've never played in front of a big crowd before and then all of a sudden at the 'G we had 12,000 and at Etihad we had 14,000, I was just pinching myself.


"When I finished my spell I ran down to deep square leg and everyone was clapping. I had no idea what was going on; normally it is my Nan at fine leg. I feel really blessed and I can't believe how it has all panned out and how successful the WBBL has been. I didn't expect it to be anything like this and it has been a great learning experience."

SA Women name unchanged squad for WT20


The same South Africa squad that will play three T20Is against West Indies in March will travel to compete in the Women's World T20 in India next month.

South Africa Women's coach Hilton Moreeng said South Africa had picked their best squad for subcontinent conditions, and believed the side's experience gave them a good chance at making the knockouts.

"It's a well-balanced squad with lots of experience and a bit of youth. We've given ourselves the best chance to play well and compete, as well as to qualify for the knockout phase," Moreeng said. "The fact that our first three series in the Women's Championship were in the subcontinent has helped us a lot in terms of getting players used to those kinds of conditions and pitches. Eighty percent of the squad going to the World T20 has been exposed to subcontinent conditions, especially India, so there won't be too many players who will be experiencing the conditions for the first time."

South Africa are in Group A along with Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Sri Lanka, and will kick off their campaign on March 18 against Australia in Nagpur.


Squad Mignon du Preez (capt), Trisha Chetty (wk), Odine Kirsten, Moseline Daniels, Marizanne Kapp, Dane van Niekerk, Dinesha Devnarain, Chloe Tryon, Sune Luus, Shabnim Ismail, Masabatha Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka, Marcia Letsoalo, Lizelle Lee, Yolani Fourie

Ross Taylor eyes World T20 return


New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor believes he will be back to full fitness before the start of the upcoming World Twenty20 in India. Taylor, who captained North Island to victory in the Island of Origin T20 clash against South Island on Sunday, had suffered a muscle tear on his left side and been sidelined for over a month.

That injury ruled Taylor out of New Zealand's home series against Pakistan and Australia, but the batsman was confident he would be back at optimum levels before his team's first game of the World T20, against the hosts India on March 15.

"It was good to get through that [injury], and I'm confident it will get a lot better come the next couple of weeks," Taylor was reported as saying by NZN. "The physios tell me that it's good to stretch it out and over time it will loosen off. I'm sure by the time we play our first game, it's going to be 100%."

Taylor, who last played an international match more than a month ago, stroked an unbeaten 16-ball 26 for North Island, helping the team to a six-wicket win against South Island in Wellington.

New Zealand are in a second-round pool for the World T20 alongside Australia, Pakistan, India and the winner of the qualifying pool played among Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands and Oman.

3CATE BLANCHETT IN ARMANI PRIVÉBlanchett is pure perfection in her Armani Privé seafoam green cap-sleeve mermaid gown. Not everyone can pull off a dress that features hand sewn clusters of Swarovski crystals and white feathers all over it, but leave it to Cate the Great.

4ROONEY MARA IN GIVENCHY HAUTE COUTURESure, the actress tends to stick to the same colors on the red carpet, but you can't deny that she kills it every single time.

Kim Kardashian's "Natural" Beauty Look Requires 3 Different Eyeliners


​It takes a lot of work to look like you didn't try at all. 

'Natural' is a relative term. We've learned to eye such a label with discerning suspicion when we see it on food packaging or when its describing the look of fillers and other injectables, and the same goes for its use in relation to Kardashian beauty. Case in point: Kim Kardashian's "Natural Daytime Look." The reality star shared a tutorial video on her website this week, in which makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic shows you how to get her "pretty, natural look." Needless to say, it's not your simple swipe of mascara and lip balm routine. 



After filling in Kardashian's brows to frame her face and perfecting their shape with a bit of concealer, Dedivanovic applies a few shades of brown eyeshadow to her lids, a couple coats ofmascara, and—get this—THREE different eyeliners. First a kohl pencil, followed by a liquid liner to get that subtle cat flick, then a shimmery copper pencil on her lower lashiine to "bring out the gold in her eyes." And that's just the eyes. 


Moving onto the rest of Kim's glam, the product list continues with bronzer for some light contouring, highlighter for glow, and finishing mist to set the look in all its effortless simplicity. 
"So natural!" Kim says with a laugh as the finishing touches are applied, suggesting just maaaybe she's aware of the humor here. 
"It's Instagram natural," Dedivanovic specifies. 
What else could we expect from the Selfie Queen herself?

Brie Larson's World Is About to Change. Just Don't Tell Her That


What's happening to Brie Larson at this moment is every actor's dream. On the heels of her Room triumph, the star goes gargantuan in her next project, Kong: Skull Island. Holly Millea finds her in the quiet before the storm…and she's ready.

It's the perfect Throwback Thursday photo: a teenage Brie Larson posing, clearly under the influence of Britney Spears, hip cocked in the middle of a Hula-Hoop, wearing hip-huggers and a short, fitted, cap-sleeve yellow tee that states in bold-pink capital letters: I'M GOING SOMEWHERE BETTER LATER. Like a clue to where she was headed, her dangling earrings are great big stars.
The picture, floating around on the Internet, is funny now, ironic, even, given the way she navigated from one better place to the next, and where "better" has ended up being.
Larson enters West Hollywood's Sunset Marquis hotel, wearing a white alpaca sweater with red-striped sleeves, skintight jeans, patent leather ASOS ankle boots, and a wide, bright smile. She carries herself like an athlete, lean and solid, surefooted—the last person to ever get mugged. Yet her energy is warm and familial, literally embracing. She hugs big and strong. "Brie makes you feel at ease," says Amy Schumer. "The first time I met her, it felt like we were childhood friends."
An expert at imprinting, in movie after movie, whatever the role, Larson's the bright star that follows you home…as nutty rocker Envy Adams opposite Michael Cera in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (2010); the raging, emotionally abandoned daughter of Woody Harrelson in Rampart(2011); Jonah Hill's prom quest in 21 Jump Street (2012); Miles Teller's bittersweet heartbreak inThe Spectacular Now (2013); and Grace, a troubled supervisor caring for troubled teens in Short Term 12 (2013), a cri de coeur performance that crystallized Larson's forte—playing open and possible and true—not so much acting on-screen as existing.
Destin Daniel Cretton, Short Term 12's writer and director, recalls a scene in which Larson's character, overwhelmed by memories of her childhood abuse, loses control. "We were like, how are we going to make this believable?" Cretton says. "And I said, 'Let's just go try it.' Brie tried it, and afterward she looked at me and said, 'What the fuck was that?' Because it came out so real, and there's no way of directing someone into that moment. She's emotionally improvising every single time she plays a scene. It's exciting to watch. I never know what's going to happen, and often she doesn't know what's going to happen." It's not for nothing that Larson calls movie sets her "safe place to be unsafe."
At the same time, says her Spectacular Now director, James Ponsoldt, "she's an incredibly specific actor, so in control. When she's doing a comedic performance, things like Scott Pilgrim, 21 Jump Street, her timing is impeccable. She's an unbelievable comedienne. She reminds me of a young Madeline Kahn." (Kahn's classic films include What's Up, Doc?, Young Frankenstein, and Paper Moon.)
Up until recently, Larson's talent for shape-shifting allowed her to move easily through the world, but now that she's morphed from Schumer's sunny, blond, domesticated little sister in the box-office hit Trainwreck to the dark, desperate, damaged mother, "Ma," in the critically acclaimed, multi-award-nominated Room, all that's changed.
"People have a Brie Larson neuron," she says. "So if I enter a restaurant, whether they want it or not, I'm a face that, when they see me, a part of their brain lights up and goes, 'Oh, I know this person'—the same way as if your sister walked in. To have that simultaneously happening with my own personal journey of playing Ma, whose perception of the world is fearful, and who has a lot of issues with males and is afraid of being noticed, afraid of standing out, afraid of being a target—to have that be crashing simultaneously with being more of a public face—really weird."
Larson frets; she knows there's no having it both ways. "Will there be a time when I can't just go to a museum alone, to just be a pedestrian?" she says. "Lindsay Lohan could not be a pedestrian anymore. She couldn't go anywhere and not be treated differently, talked to differently, looked at differently. And that's the thing that's eating her alive."

As hummingbirds hum above the Sunset Marquis garden restaurant, fat koi swim in the pond below, and diners' neurons fire all around, Larson sits and scans the menu. You can see how readily her face—free of makeup, with high cheekbones and hooded, brown, intelligent eyes—lends itself to transformation. She can be the weary migrant mother in a Dorothea Lange photograph, the stunning dominatrix in a Helmut Newton ad. Right now, as herself, she's simply lovely. And hungry. "Always hungry," Larson says, turning to the waiter: "Can I have scrambled egg whites with vegetables, whole wheat toast, and berries instead of potatoes?" Welcome to awards season, that time of year when even Fitbit addicts see a red carpet looming like a plank.
