    Christina Aguilera has had a rough time in the media lately due to the constant critique regarding her body. But Christina refuses to let it get to her, she fights back instead! "I have a boyfriend that loves my body," she says. "I love my body, my son is healthy and happy and that is all that matters." When it comes to body image, Christina is an amazing role model, "women, we are definitely under a microscope and under massive scrutiny," she says and continues, "As long as I am happy in my own skin, that is all that is all the confirmation I need." We couldn't agree more! It's nice to see that Christina has such a healthy self image! (people)

    Though rumors of Drew Barrymore’s engagement to Will Kopelman have been swirling all week, the actress finally confirmed them this morning via the glowing picture above.  Kopelman, an art consultant, popped the question in Sun Valley, Idaho over the holidays (where the two were vacationing) with a 4 carat diamond ring from Graff.  So now the real question—what will she wear for her third walk down the aisle?  If she needs help, Kopelman’s dad was the head of Chanel…

    Newly resolved to have perfect fingernails? You don’t have to drop major money at a salon to keep your nails glossy and strong all winter. Set aside about an hour, follow our eight easy steps, and you won’t want to cover up with winter gloves or coat sleeves. You’ll need: Base and top coat (see our top pick below) Nail polish remover Cotton pads or Q-tips Nail file Cuticle pusher or clipper.

    1. Soak your hands in warm water for at least three minutes. A little bit of lemon juice will help loosen any nail color, meaning less damage done by nail polish remover.

    2. Remove any old polish with a cotton ball or Q-tip and apply moisturizer to your cuticles. The alcohol in nail polish remover leeches moisture from your skin, so make sure to apply lotion or hand cream before, and after you take off old polish.

    3. Push back cuticles. If you’ve left your nail beds unattended for a while, you can trim your cuticles but be careful, if you cut your cuticles too short they’ll bleed.

    4. Shape your nails with a nail file, being careful only to file in one direction. A back and forth motion will weaken your nails. Give yourself square edges, and a round tip, the perfect shape for growing out your nails and keeping them strong.

    5. Buff your nails so you have a smooth surface for the polish to stick to.

    6. Base Coat. Always use a base coat! It helps your color stick and strengthens your nails. We love Sally Hansen’s Double Duty Polish, which can be used as both a base, and top coat. It’s packed with vitamins to strengthen your nails, and is a hardcore chip resister.

    7. Color. Always roll the bottle (never shake!) to mix up the color, and get your perfect shade. 8. Top Coat. Wait at least half an hour before applying a top coat to seal in the color, and keep your nails looking lovely for as long as possible.

    Few can say they’ve hosted the Academy Awards, written a book, and have taught a college course (about themselves) all in one lifetime. Even fewer of those people have done all of this before the age of 35. But we know of one person: James Franco. With news about him playing the lead in Hugh Hefner’s biopic film on top of recently writing his own novel, Actors Anonymous—a supposed fictionialized account of his experiences as an actor—we had to ask ourselves, is there anything James Franco thinks he can’t do? The maverick’s first breakthrough role was on the unfortunately short-lived TV show Freaks and Geeks in ’99 but started gaining recognition for the television movie James Dean, which landed him a Golden Globe award. Since then, he’s starred as Tobey Maguire’s best friend-turned-enemy Harry Osborn in Spider-man and Spider-man 2 and taken on a recurring role on ABC’s soap opera General Hospital. His other films include Tristan and Isolde, Milk, 127 Hours, and most recently Rise of the Planet of the Apes. So, what do we love about the do-it-all dreamboat? better question might be, what’s there not to love? Besides his ability to play both a gay lover in Milk and a hilarious loveable stoner in Pineapple Express, the boy’s got skills aside from the big screen. Franco returned to UCLA where he earned his undergrad degree in 2008. He then moved to NYC for graduate school at Columbia University’s writing program and NYU’s Tisch School of Arts, where he graduated with his MFA in both 2010 and 2011. He is currently a PhD student in English at Yale University and just last fall taught a course about film making at NYU (we don’t know how those students found the concentration). The James-of-all-trades is also in talks to write and direct the Hollywood version of William Faulkner’s iconic novel, As I Lay Dying. We literally don’t know how he does it; we can barely balance school and a social life! Whatever his secret is, we’re honored to add to his accolades by crowning him ELLEgirl’s crush of the week.
