Katy Perry Covers Elle
Katy Perry wants to have new hubby Russell Brand’s babies. The singer tells Elle that she isn’t afraid to admit that she wants to be a mom, even if it throws her career off course.
“I think some people will die on the stage, and I’m not so sure I want to do that. Like, I want to have kids!,” Perry says in the March issue of the magazine. “I’m totally fine with saying that. I think some people are scared because they’re worried it’s going to ruin their career, but I want to live a full life.”

Naomi Campbell Wears Azzedine Alaia and Beehive to Testify About Alleged Blood Diamonds
Clad in a cream Azzedine Alaia dress with a matching sheer cardigan, Naomi Campbell was one well-dressed witness while testifying against former Liberian president Charles Taylor today, the Daily Mail reports.
Sporting a towering beehive hairstyle and wearing a silver evil-eye pendant necklace — perhaps to ward off the danger she told the court she fears from Taylor — the 40-year-old Campbell admitted to receiving alleged blood diamonds during a 1997 trip to South Africa, according to the paper.

Why Bargain Plastic Surgery Will Cost You in More Ways Than One
As the economy has sputtered and sunk these past couple of years, the billion-dollar cosmetic-surgery industry has also experienced a dip in sales after a decade of double-digit-percent growth.
“Plastic surgery is feeling the effects of the recession, just like many other sectors of the marketplace,” said American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery President Dr. Renato Saltz in a statement. “Growth in demand will likely return as the recession eases and baby boomers’ offspring begin to explore surgical options.”
In the meantime, a new trend has sprung up in our youth-obsessed society: an increase in potentially dangerous cheap plastic surgery. Billboards advertising $2,999 bargain boob jobs from a “surgeon to the stars” have sprouted on the California 405 Freeway, a sign in the Midwest proclaims you can “buy one implant, get one free,” while an advertisement near Clearwater, Florida brags $8 Botox injections. Still, as horror stories like the former Miss Argentina who died at age 38 following a butt augmentation prove, bargain-basement procedures have their price.
