Miss Piggy Models for InStyle
Hello, Miss Piggy! In celebration of her upcoming movieThe Muppets—her first on-screen appearance in 12 years—the Notorious P.I.G. took a moment out of her busy schedule to pose for a photo shoot for InStyle’s November issue. Six designers created custom pieces for her, including Prabal Gurung (shown),Jason Wu, Brian Atwood, Suno, Opening Ceremony, and Giles & Brother. “Simply beautiful, yet deliciously exotic and enticingly romantic. Yes, I’m talking about myself—as well as this fabulous frock designed by my new BFF Prabal Gurung,” Miss P. says of this look.
Katy Perry And Nicki Minaj Barbies Being Auctioned For Charity
CharityBuzz’s lots #291300 and #291301 are a little different from the items you’d expect from a charity auction, mostly because they come from a toy company. Mattel has gone out of its way to create two items to raise money for Project Angel Food, a charity that sends nutritious meals to those affected by AIDS, and cancer, among other life-threatening illnesses. Beginning Friday, Mattel and CharityBuzz began auctioning off two dolls that are a little more celebrity-oriented than your average special edition Barbie.
Singers Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj are the latest edition to the Barbie catalogue. Don’t count on owning one of the dolls though: they are only on auction until December 19 and the price tag on each doll is currently running at over $1,000 dollars. If you do have the cash to shell out to charity, the dolls both come with some badass Barbie accessories. Katy Perry’s doll features blue hair, a cupcake dress and a fancy ice cream cone stage. Minaj’s doll looks freakishly like her Pink Friday album cover and features a killer pair of pink plastic shoes, handcrafted jewelry, and a stage with pink icicles jutting out everywhere.
The Katy Perry doll is currently beating out the bids on Minaj’s “Her Menajesty” doll by several hundred dollars. If you are a “Your Love” fan, you might be able to get quite the steal. Besides, since Barbie is all about disproportionate figures, the inclusion of Nicki Minaj seems a perfect choice. Too bad we didn’t get to see a Gaga Barbie doll, as well.

Don’t Gain 10 lbs this Christmas
You don’t have to! We swear!
We’re not alone either. Celebrity trainer Adam Ernster thinks fears of gaining weight over the holidays are completely unfounded and slightly irrational.
If you’re one of those people who associates the holiday season with an extra 10 pounds around your torso, the first step toward reversing that trend is to STOP assuming you’re going to gain weight! Ha!
Remember, the only person who controls how much your body weighs is YOU! Don’t use your Christmas vacation as an excuse to derail from a healthy diet and avoid the gym.
Despite the popular idiom, it is possible have your cake and eat it too. Enjoy the family gatherings, parties, and other holiday functions that come equipped with dietary temptations, but continue working toward your fitness goals!
Check out the video below for some common sense advice to avoid this fabled holiday weight that people are always making small talk about!

The 5 Best Outfits Of The Week
Stylish ladies from all over the blogosphere, country and red carpet unite this week in their awesome outfit-making skills. But whose look is the best of the best? Come vote for your favorite, after the jump.
Liv Tyler is in the lead in a Fashion Faceoff against Kate Winslet, thanks to the perfect fit and fab shade of this hourglass-accentuating dress by Stella McCartney.
Marina’s sparkly dress by Alice and Olivia is the favorite of our Glamour staffer party outfit ideas. I love the black patent shoes too; they add just the right amount of edge.
Young & Posh blogger Runway Hippie’s layered, autumnal look was another reader favorite. While some folks preferred a slightly different palette, everyone agreed that she rocked this look well.
Sincerely Jules, another Young & Posh darling, put together this casual date night look after finding the boots in a flea market. Weather conditions aside, team Glamour.com (that’s all of us) were inspired by this cute look.
Perfect weekend outfit alert! From the true blue jeans and the coordinating cardi/tee combo to the bright statement necklaces, this look was spot-on street style eye candy. Can we go home and change into this now? Thanks.
