Celebrity Tattoos: Who’s Wearing What
The beautiful and famous women in Hollywood are hitting the Red Carpet not only decorated with flowing gowns, dazzling diamonds, and brilliant jewels many are also bejeweled with colorful tattoos designs.
With the word “Tattoos” one of the top keywords searched on the Internet today, and the basis of two popular TV reality shows, it’s no surprise America’s hottest fashion runway is on fire with female celebrity tattoo designs.
Tattoo popularity began to take off after debuting on the stages of musicians and rockers, then spilling over into pop culture celebrities.
Tattoos are seen on many beautiful celebrity stars such as Drew Barrymore, Britney Spears, Charlize Theron, Gillian Anderson, Pamela Anderson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Ricci, and Janet Jackson.
Oscar winners such as Marisa Tomei, Melannie Griffith, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Julia Roberts are all intriguing, fascinating, and yes tattooed. And Actresses are not the only beauties baring ink. Supermodels Christy Turlington, Stephanie Seymour, Carrie Otis and Kate Moss are all members of the celebrity tattoo club.
Hollywood’s beautiful and glamorous female celebrity tattoos are found on many areas of the body, lower back, ankles, necks, arms wrist and all of which is in between.
Foot Tattoos or “Pedi-Souvenirs” are very popular among vacationers thus as permanent mementos of a great trip. Famous tattooed tootsies included Carrie Otis, Kate Hudson, Charlize Theron, and three musically talented ladies of the Dixie ******.
Ankle Tattoos are very popular among supermodels. Many women prefer ankle tattoos because they can easily be shown or covered with a wardrobe change. Christy Turlington, Rebecca Romijn, Denise Richards, Christina Applegate, and Penelope Cruz are just a few lovely ladies decorated with ankle art.
Hip Tattoos are considered to be the most attractive and sensual tattoos among women. Women often wear bikinis and low cut pants displaying their designs. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, and Drew Barrymore are among the “hippest” tattoo designs.
Lower Back Tattoos are tall on the list as a favorite body area for celebrity leading ladies. Considered one of the sexiest, sensual, areas on a woman, the lower back is also one of the most versatile places to tattoo, exposed on the beach and covered in the office. Tattoos on the lower back can be private and secretly hidden from the rest of the world, or flaunted and displayed proudly. Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, Norah Jones and Lucy Liu are names of just a few of the fabulously famous with lower back tattoos.
Wrist Tattoos are another popular area chosen among the stars. A wrist tattoo can be easily hidden under a watch or decorative bracelet if need be. Lindsay Lohan, model Sara Spraker, Carmen Electra
Upper Arm Tattoos, specifically female armband tattoos have literally come around again in popularity. In particular, Tribal Band tattoos have been increasingly in demand and more than likely have paid for a large number of artists’ Harleys parked in front of tattoo shops. Pamela Anderson helped to trigger the “band wagon” with her **** barbwire tat.
Breast Tattoos are popular and there is a difference between chest and ****** tattoos. Examples of ****** tattoos are widely searched on the Internet. But if you are looking for celebrity ****** tattoos look to Teri Polo, Christina Ricci, and Rapper Eve.
Neck Tattoos, were once a body area considered taboo by the majority of tattoo artists, but more recently have been increasing in numbers and showing up pushing the boundaries of what society tolerates as acceptable. Today, beauties such as Alyssa Milano, Brittany Spears, supermodel James King, and musician Kelly Clarkson are putting their necks out on the line.
Full Body Suit, was a tattoo termin the past that excluded the neck, hands, and face so when attending social functions tattoos could be “cover-up with a dress “suit” or long dress. Today, a full body suit tattoo is just that – head to toe and all of that in between. Among those daring enough to sport the “suit” are tattoo fashion icons Kat Von D and Theo Kogan.

It used to be taboo for movie stars to do advertising for products in the United States. We never used to see our favorite movie star in commercials for Frosted Flakes. Catherine Zeta Jones recently broke this unspoken rule by appearing in a series of T-Mobile advertisements. While it is anyone’s prerogative on how they want to make money, I can understand why movie stars try to avoid getting involved in advertising for products or services. Charity advertising is one thing. Many movie stars do commercials and public service announcements for charities. However, hawking products for Madison Avenue might not be a good idea for movie stars. It can be difficult to play a serious cop role in your newest movie when you are known as the peanut butter guy from television. In short, movie stars and advertising just do not mix.
Occasionally, a celebrity’s success with selling products does depend on the product. George Foreman is now just as well known for his grills as he is as a boxer. I guess the question is did the grill make Foreman successful or did Foreman make the grill successful? George Foreman was a boxer professionally but he had done a series of advertising for muffler shops and other products prior to the grill. Perhaps George was so likeable that the combination of a likeable celebrity and a product everyone wants is like gold. This seems the most logical explanation for Foreman’s success. What about other celebrities?
Why Does It Work When It Works?
Public Image is important in advertising. If public image was not important, then McDonalds would not have cancelled their contract with Kobe Bryant after Kobe was indicted on **** charges. Although he was never convicted, he still lost all endorsement deals with McDonalds and other companies. So there is an important question: are we buying the product, or the celebrity? There is a simple answer. Regardless of the pitching by the celebrities, substandard products only survive for a short time. Failed television shows are a good example of this theory. Jeff Foxworthy is one of the most successful stand-up comedians in history, and he is a well liked celebrity. However, his television sitcom The Jeff Foxworthy Show failed terribly. Foxworthy was not negatively affected by the failure of his sitcom because he went on to start the very successful variety show Blue Collar TV. But as you can see, advertising is a two way street. The celebrity needs to have some credibility in the eyes of the sponsor and the customers. Also, more importantly, product needs to be of high quality as well.
On of the better examples of celebrities in advertising used strictly to sway consumer choice is the war between the cola giants. Pepsi has a reputation of trying to target the younger demographics by featuring such celebrities as Michael Jackson and Madonna while Coca Cola has featured such celebrities as Michael Jordan and Elton John. Pepsi wanted their reputation as the coolest new thing while Coke went with the wholesome family approach. To this point, research has shown that Pepsi usually come up tops in the cola wars. However, as long as there are celebrities to hire there will always be celebrities in advertising.

People love to find out about their favorite celebrities. After all, even if they don’t buy the magazines, lots of people read the headlines on the gossip magazines in line at the grocery store, and when bits of news make it to the news stations or into their email, most people absorb the information and spend the rest of the day wondering more about what they just found out. Even news sites often have a place to get information about celebrity gossip, and these are often the stories that are most often emailed or read by internet users.
Celebrity gossip is the way people learn more about their favorite celebs. Reading websites about the them gives people some information, but usually it has to do with their professional lives, which leaves people feeling the celebrities are a little two-dimensional.
Celebrity gossip usually consists of tidbits of information about peoples’ personal lives, such as who they’re dating, who they’re not speaking to, and why they look like they’ve gained or lost ten pounds. Many people also like to see candid photos of people living their lives. Many photos are accompanied by an explanation of what they’re doing, and it gives people a chance to see what they look like without make-up, designer evening wear, and the magic of Photoshop. So why do people find gossip so enticing when they don’t know the celebrities personally?
For many, they like knowing more about their favorite stars because it makes them more “real.” With personal information about actors, for example, they go from being characters on a screen or stage to being real people with families and friends and mortgages. This makes them feel three-dimensional to people.
For others, celebrity gossip may be interesting because it makes them seem “more human.” People tend to put stars up on a pedestal, and when they know more about their personal lives, it gives them information they may be able to relate to, which gives them a connection to a celebrity. It allows people to take them off a pedestal and put them on an equal level.
Lots of people love to read gossip. Even if all they do is read the headlines of gossip magazines in line at the grocery store, people love to get as much personal information about their favorite celebrities as they can so they can feel connected to the celebrities, as well as see them as more of an equal. Fortunately, as long as there are people who want celebrity gossip, there will be journalists tracking down the information to print it!

Collecting autographs of the rich and famous has been a popular avocation for hundreds of years. Autographs of people like Isaac Newton and George Washington have survived because their contemporaries and generations of collectors that followed have appreciated their achievements and have treasured their autographs.
Catalogs distributed by autograph dealers are an enjoyable way to view autographs. The number of dealers who distribute autograph catalogs for buying and selling autographs seems to grow each day as the industry has become more commercialized. Items autographed by historical or popular figures often sell for many thousands of dollars.
Websites devoted to autograph collecting have also proliferated in recent years. Many of these websites are educational. Informative autograph websites include those that have descriptions of nomenclature, examples of signatures that may be used to cross validate autographs in your existing collection, and tips about record keeping and preservation of autographs. Some autograph websites are limited to auctions where autographed items are sold to the highest bidder. Some autograph dealer websites have autographed material that are sold at fixed prices. Other websites provide modern celebrity addresses that a collector can write to with the hope of obtaining a true autograph. A few autograph websites offer printed facsimiles of autographed material that may be attractively displayed in a frame or report.
Serious autograph collectors often find it useful to focus their energy and resources to a specific niche. For example, some collectors limit their efforts to sports figures, others to signers of the Declaration of Independence, world leaders, or space exploration. Other categories of collecting may include autographs pertaining to subject matter such as finance, politics, railroad construction, or entertainment. By limiting yourself to a specific field within autograph collecting, you will have a direction and fulfillment. Your specialized niche will also provide a greater sense of purpose and gratification.

When you think about the word “celebrity”, you think about fame. When you think about the word “celebrity”, you think about wealth. When you think of the word “celebrity”, you think of picking up. So do you really think celebrity is such a great thing? All of us sometimes think that. We want to be famous and well-known all around the world, to be rich and never worry about money. But that’s life which is never easy to everyone. There are always something go along with celebrity such things as the lack of privacy, the loneliness and the exhaustion and some other thing like that. So is it really good to be a celebrity?
There is a nice number of advantages of being a celebrity:
The greatest advantage of being famous is that celebrities are usually very rich so they have easier life than other people. They live in beautiful houses which have housekeepers, securities, cooks and other servants. They don’t have to worry about paying bills, can affort the best clothes and drive a luxury car. What is more, they spend their holidays in expensive resorts, get the best hotel rooms and the best service. Some words like “cheap”, “sales”, “too expensive” never appear in a celebrity’s dictionary. For example, the slogan “Save money during these difficult economy times” is almost not valuable for Victoria Beckham. She told the media: “Buying a lot of stuff is the way to renew my lifestyle”. No comment!!!
Secondly, when you are famous, your name is known by everyone. Then, you are invited to the best parties and meet other celebrities. Your fans send you gifts and letters to tell you how much they love you. Furthermore, celebrities can have a brand product without paying money because some designer will send it to them for advertising or promotion. A famous person receive first-class service wherever they go, such as they don’t need to line up when they go to watch movies or see a concert. It’s really amazing for ordinary people.
And last but not least, also very interesting, celebrities can easily pickup other celebrities or other person, especially one night stand. I think Paris Hilton can totally agree with me on that one!
However, everything in the world has two sides. Being famous has as disadvantages as advantages.
The biggest problem for famous people is the media which can either make them or break them. They definitely can let you down. Just ask Birtney Spears. Celebrities seldom have privacy and often have to go out in public wearing disguise so that they will not be recognized. They are hounded by the paparazzi who try to photograph them all the time. They also have to notice their appearance and be gentle and polite everywhere and anytime. And if they do something wrong, everybody get to know it immediately. Often the magazine and newspaper write gossip and don’t tell true about famous person, what can be very unfortunately for them.
The next thing is stress. The more they get and succeed the more they are expected by their fans to achieve. This is a huge obsession for them. Therefore, it is very easy to see that celebrities who can not solve their problem often abuse alcohol or drugs. In other words, the fame can destroy a man very easily. We just think about Michael Jackson or Diego Maradona to gain experience.
Celebrities also never be sure if their friends and fans like them for who they are or for their money. Celebrities find it hard to trust someone as a real friend. Although they are rich, they still feel lonely sometimes. Money doesn’t bring happiness.
In conclusion, celebrity may be nice but not an easy thing to live with. You may have a lot of money but you still feel so lonely and not safe. Your name is known by everyone but stress lets you down. You have everything which ordinary people don’t have but you can’t do everything which they can do because of the media, especially the paparazzi. So, is it good to be a celebrity? Well, I seem it depends on the person. There are some people who are famous and lead normal, calm life without any serious problems. For me, it is the secret of the happiness.

After the ******* of band Boston leader Brad Delp and comedian Richard Jeni, I started to research other suicides by celebrities or famous people. I am shocked by the names on this list. I had hoped that the clues to these highly public suicides would provide clues to help prevent other suicides. Virtually all of the suicides were due to depression, loss, grief and intense pressure to be the best at their profession. Ultimately, just like every other successful death by suicide, they just didn’t want to live any more.
If you have suicidal ideations, you should immediately call 911, a family member and the ******* Help Line; 1-800-SUICIDE( 800-784-2433).

Jennifer Aniston once said, “Quirky is sexy, like scars or chipped teeth. I also like tattoos – they’re rebellious.” I like tattoos because they make me unique and different than all those same people you see everyday. Jennifer Aniston is only one of the many famous people who like tattoos on their bodies. Angelina Jolie is another example. She is very pretty and those tattoos make her even more gorgeous. That same thing can happen to you if you decide to get a tattoo.
You can get a tattoo like a celebrity, but deciding which one is the best is the hard part. You can look at many famous celebrities and all of their tattoos look good, but only one of them is the best. I did your work for you and decided to compare all the famous tattoos printed by well known celebrities. I compared their tattoos, but I decided to leave the conclusion to you because you are the one who decides what is the best and what is not.
The first one is the most famous and world known – Angelina Jolie. She has quite a few tattoos but the major one is the tattoo of a tiger on her lower back waste that makes her look sexier than ever. It shows her personality. The next one is one more world famous actor – Brad Pitt, who has a picture of something looking like a crown on his back with many other tattoos. One more is David Beckham, who is also very popular in the world. He has a lot of tattoo on his body but I think the major one was the picture of a crucifix with the name of his sons on top and bottom of the crucifix. The last, but not the least nominee is Anna Nicole Smith, who has a colored mermaid on her back lower waist.

People of all ages enjoy celebrity antics and behavior. Even if we **** to watch the latest drama out of Hollywood, it is still hard to turn away when the latest blurb pops up on the evening news. Some of us get a quick fix of the latest starlet drama via entertainment news programs, and others simply scan the headlines at the grocery story.
Still others area more diehard fans and they may frequent celebrity websites or subscribe to magazines that specialize in the latest gossip. However you get your fix of what the Hollywood girls are wearing (or not wearing!) these days, there is a way you probably haven’t heard of – online paper dolls.
Celebrity Dolls?
Many celebrity watchers, or devoted non-watchers who keep up with the gossip to prove how non-interested they are, are realizing what a lot of teenage girls have known for years. Paper dolls have moved online and they have gotten much more interesting. The paper dolls of old are long gone, and online paper dolls have styles you wouldn’t even think possible.
Most of these websites, such as TheDollPalace.com, are devoted to girl dress up games, and some of the most popular of these are celebrity dress up games. Some of the most prominent stars on television and movies have been used as a model for a base doll, much like an online Barbie, and you can spend hours dressing your favorite Hollywood starlet. There are outfits appropriate for every day or adoption wear right on up to the Academy Awards.
More on Celebrities
The girl dress up is not the only celebrity item on these sites by any means. If you really know your celebs, you can take a stab at various contests that run through the site. For example, a great many dolls have already been created showing starlets in their award show finery. All you have to do is figure out which doll belongs to which star. There are also occasional articles that pertain to celebrity gossip or news items that can be a fun way to kill time every now and again.
Your Celebrity Wardrobe
Even if you’re not celebrity obsessed, you might be interested in looking a bit more polished. Most celebrities spend a great deal of time on their look and consult a stylist for major wardrobe purchases or hair style changes (with one notable exception.) You may not be able to afford a stylist, but you can track what the celebrities are wearing and build your own outfits right on the site.
Try out the latest looks of the season on a doll of your choosing to see if you can piece everything together and come up with something truly fashionable, yet uniquely you at the same time. After all, imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but nobody wants to become a Hollywood clone.

People know more about Paris Hilton, than they do President Bush. Celebrities are always in the news for a variety of different reasons. They might be getting drunk, and making a fool out of themselves (Mel Gibson), or getting a divorce (Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro), or almost dropping their baby in the street (Britney Spears). Whatever they are doing, we are all tuned to watch, and listen to the celebrity gossip.
Most of the time the only celebrity gossip that appears on television concerns something bad that has happened, or some mistake a celebrity has made. The public likes to watch figures in the spotlight fall on their face, because it brings them back down to earth with the rest of us. Also it seems that we like to give air time to celebrities so they can complain about the way the government is being run. We can setup a large forum to let celebrities speak about how the war in Iraq is wrong, but we can not take five minutes to tell the soldiers that are fighting there how much we appreciate them for what they are doing. I would like to help change the view about celebrities and write about some celebrity gossip of a different flavor.
Towards the beginning of the war in Iraq, Densel Washington made a trip to a hospital in Fort Sam Houston, Texas to see some of the injured soldiers. While he was there he saw that the hospital was crowded and the doctors there needed more supplies. Densel told the soldiers at the hospital that help would be on the way. About six months later, he gave a sizable donation to the Fisher House Foundation Inc., which helps families of hospitalized military personnel. I never heard any gossip about this on the celebrity news channels. The only time I heard about this great act of generosity was in an email from someone else that was trying to spread the good word. I think we would all feel a little bit better about celebrities if the celebrity gossip shows would try to report on more uplifting stories like this one.
