Cindy Crawford has become the face of a budget beauty brand. The supermodel — who has previously worked cosmetics giants Revlon and Maybelline — signed up to promote shop chain Spar's Beauty Kiss toiletry range and has posed in a series of raunchy shots.

The 43-year-old beauty looks sensational in the pictures, wearing a cutaway black swimsuit.

Cindy has previously said thinks she looks "pretty good" naked for a mother-of-two and is happy with the way her body has aged.

She said: "I think I look pretty good for 43, but I don't look the way I did when I was 23."

Cindy — who raises nine-year-old son Presley Walker and daughter Kaia Jordan, seven, with her husband of 10 years Rande Gerber — said she pays most attention to her hands and chest because they are the areas most affected by ageing.

She explained: "In Los Angeles, there are 65-year-old women walking around in Juicy sweatpants, and from the back you'd think they were 20. But when you see their hands or their neck, you know."

The goss on the street is that Jessica Simpson has a new hairdresser. The 'Come On Over' star has previously always worked with designer crimper Ken Paves — even cancelling photoshoots with magazines who refused to work with him — but amazed staff at a recent Vanity Fair shoot by agreeing to use Oribe to style her locks.

Her spokesperson is quoted by the New York Post newspaper as saying: "The photographer, Mario Testino, insisted on his team, and we agreed. Mario is a genius. The photos are gorgeous and transformative."

It has been claimed some stylists dislike working with Ken — who also styles Eva Longoria's locks — because he isn't considered "timely".

Jessica and Ken — who previously worked together on a range of hair extensions — have been close friends for years and are regularly seen enjoying evenings together.

Last year, Ken was rushed to hospital after he was hit in the face by a photographer's camera following dinner with Jessica.

Fancy one of Mariah Carey's dresses? Well, she's selling one on eBay. The 'Hero' singer has put a hot pink, fishtailed asymmetric frock onto the auction website to raise money for breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

The gown was created by Julian Contreras as part of a competition where the singer asked fans to design a dress inspired by her Pink fragrance. It is one of only three in existence.

Mariah was last seen wearing the dress on a dinner date with husband Nick Cannon in Calfiornia in April. The close-fitting dress will be listed until 30 May.

Mariah is not the only celebrity to be selling her property on eBay. Gwyneth Paltrow recently offered garments — including a Burberry dress and a Topshop trench coat — on the auction website, with all funds going to the Robin Hood Foundation which helps fight poverty in New York.

Jessica Alba has also been selling her daughter's old clothes on eBay. The 'Sin City' star recently placed a number of items on the bidding website in aid of charity, including some of 11-month-old Honor's old garments, Hello Kitty rain gear and a limited-edition Maclaren Juicy Couture Ruder Stroller.

All proceeds from Jessica's sale went to the Clean Water Initiative, which aims to provide all babies with access to fresh water.

Mischa Barton says people think her fashion sense is "nuts". The former 'O.C.' actress loves taking risks with her outfits, but admits her efforts are not always well-received.

She said: "A few years ago people thought I was nuts for wearing headbands and fringing, but things I have been into have kind of become more popular recently.

"I grew up with pictures of Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg on my wall, they have always been my style. I am a weird replica of the '70s! But it is cool to see that it is back on trend."

Mischa — who was born in London before her parents moved to the US when she was five — enjoys spending time in the UK because people are more accepting of what she chooses to wear.

She explained: "What is nice about fashion in Britain is that you get to be more eccentric and a bit more yourself. In the States they don't like it when you look too different."

The 23-year-old star has also urged women to discover their own personal style.

Mischa said: "It is about experimenting by mixing and matching to develop your own look. You should try to wear something that embodies your sense of style. I think it is bad to wear head to toe all one look."
