Singer / actress, Jessica Simpson, has a new weekly television show called”Jessica Simpson’s The Price of Beauty” which premiered recently on Vh1. In it, Simpson travels the world with two friends – Ken Paves and Cacee Cobb – to look closely at people’s efforts to measure up to their society’s standard of beauty.

In the first episode, Simpson and company met a woman in Thailand, who had burned herself permanently as a result of her efforts to bleach her skin to make it look lighter. They also talk with a Paris-based model who starved herself to under 100 pounds (45 kilograms) in order to be thin.

Simpson herself has made headlines throughout her career, as persons speculate about her weight and looks. In 2009, she was under tremendous scrutiny by the tabloids, as they speculated that she had put on a lot of weight and was now fat. Her new show undoubtedly helps Simpson to turn the tables on questions about her own looks, and allows viewers to see a deeper side of her, even more-so than the person they may have seen on her old MTV reality show “Newlyweds”, with then-husband, Nick Lachey.

This new tv show is definitely worth catching. Tune in to see it on Vh1 if you can! Look out for other episodes and shows about cosmetic products, including cosmetic tweezers, makeup and other beauty accessories.

Estee Lauder boasted higher earnings across all of its segments, which were helped by improved demand in Asia.

According to an analyst at Goldman Sachs, “Estee Lauder has overshot its fundamental value on optimism around the company’s restructuring plan and the potential for a return to solid sales growth as the economy recovers.” As a consequence, Estee Lauder’s share price fell 2.39% to close at US$ 38.73 on this news.

L’Oreal, the maker of Armani makeup and Lancome scents stated that the decrease in earnings was primarily the result of shoppers switching to cheaper brands. This in turn affected the company’s operating margin at its luxury division, shrinking 7.7% to 11.9% of total sales.

Estee Lauder reported a loss of US$17.9 million, drastically down from a profit of US$120.2 million a year ago. The Company has stated that in addition to feeble demand, restructuring costs further depressed its bottom line.

To top it off, it seems her employer may be within his legal right to fire her for this reason, this despite a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling several years ago that it is not discriminatory for employers to require women wear makeup. The woman is reportedly looking into her legal options at this time.

Apparently the robber thought her bag of cosmetics (which was on the floor of the car) was a purse containing money, and he became agitated when she resisted. He then pistol-whipped her, ran to a car and took off. The woman was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
