WANTED: SWF.....$50 MILLION DIVORCEES WELCOME!

Paul McCartney was ordered today to pay Heather Mills $48.6 million to settle their divorce.

A document released by the Family Court said the judge awarded Mills a lump sum of $33 million plus the assets she currently holds worth $15.6 million.

"I'm so, so happy with this," Mills told reporters following the closed hearing.

The court also ruled that the couple's 4-year-old daughter Beatrice should receive a "periodical payments order" of $70,000 per annum. On top of that, McCartney will pay for the child's nanny and school fees.

"I'm so glad it's over," Mills said at her impromptu news conference.

"It was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter's future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with — because you know it has been my life for 20 years," she said.

While pleased with the financial settlement, Mills intends to appeal to prevent publication of the details of the settlement for the couple's daughter.

McCartney, 65, and Mills, 40, went to court last month to decide on Mills' share of his fortune. Mills was seeking in the neighborhood of $250 million, while McCartney proposed she should receive $31.6 million, including her own assets.

Still, the hefty payout shouldn't affect McCartney's bottom line overmuch, as the artist's vast fortune is estimated at $800 million.

McCartney left the court without making any statement.

HALLE BERRY BECOMES A MILF!

Halle Berry has become a mother for the first time at the age of 41, after giving birth to a 7 lb. 4 oz. girl.

The Oscar winner who only recently said, "I want to stay pregnant forever" reportedly delivered the baby at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Sunday morning.

The father is 32-year-old Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, Berry’s partner of two years. The pair met while shooting a Versace advertisement in Los Angeles in 2005.

After announcing her pregnancy last September, Berry told Oprah Winfrey that she and Aubry tried for a baby unsuccessfully for some time, but one negative pregnancy test followed another, "and finally, after about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test."

What a lucky.........Canuck!

Notable New MILF Mention: Jennifer Lopez.

YOU WOULDN'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY....

If you recall last summer having Toronto streets blocked off to accommodate big movie trucks, trailers and their film crews, it was due to the filming for The Incredible Hulk. Shooting began in the summer and took place for about 4 months around the city in such places like on Ossington Street, University of Toronto where tanks and soldiers marched along College Street to invade the Koffler Centre and Knox College's courtyard that saw soldiers firing live ammunition.

Yonge Street was closed, from College to Dundas, for 3 days to film what was said to be the final fight scene between The Abomination and The Hulk. Yonge street was dressed to look like New York City's Harlem with the remodeling of The Cannon Theatre to look like the Apollo but, as you'll see in the trailer below, there's no way a Torontonian will miss or not recognize these beasts running by Zanzibar!

This version of The Incredible Hulk, produced by Marvel Studios and directed by Louis Leterrie, stars Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner, a.k.a The Hulk, Liv Tyler as Banner’s longtime love interest, scientist Betty Ross, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, a KGB agent who becomes The Abomination and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Starks aka Iron Man which is schedule for its own release on May 2nd, 2008.

The Incredible Hulk opens in theatres June 13.

A CLEAN SHAVEN MAN

Men have been shaving forever. Cavemen probably shaved with stone knives, and there’s some suggestion that they may even have trimmed their hair with fire! (Ouch!)

Among the many reasons men began shaving in Stone Age times were:

• To reduce the breeding grounds for lice, fleas and small rodents
• To avoid having their beard grabbed during battle
• To make it easier to eat
• Superstition associated a heavily bearded man with old age and death, in addition to the superstitious belief of spirits which entered the body through hairs on the head

Men have always wondered "should I shave or let it grow"? Majority of the time it boils down to being lazy.

Some ponder "Do women find me more attractive with a beard or a clean shave"? Hmmmmmmmm.

Well, in a recent survey, 70% of women prefer clean shaven men. 20% prefer a goatee, stubble or well trimmed mustache. 7% prefer a full beard and 3% do not care about facial hair and chances are if she doesn't care about your hair, she's hoping you have the same understanding for her.

Most women love a clean look and when you shave and dress nice you will be the guy that has everything going on. Now as the survey has indicated, some women do prefer guys with mustaches like Tom Selleck's Magnum P.I. bush. However, unless you are an older man I would stay away from that mustache. Mustaches conjure images of porn stars. (Atleast for me it does) Also some women prefer the rugged look of stubble or a big beard. The number of women that prefer the rugged look is far less than the number of women you will get with a clean shave. When you have a lot of facial hair it's much harder to clean your skin and it looks like you are hiding your face, which can be a good thing if you are not attractive. It will also save your lady from having to deal with "beard rash"

For the fellas who refused to shave and are confident and content sporting their "I am man, hear me roar" stubble/beard, do not fear fore you will not be shunned away. All we ask is you keep it clean and look out for our "Ode to Men with Facial Hair" post in the near future. For now, here's a tip you can pass onto your lady, from make- up artist Donna Fitzpatrick, on treating "beard rash.

"Beard rash occurs when the rough bristles aggravate the soft delicate skin around the mouth. Get your man to shave well. Should you get a rash there are a number of things you can do to your skin to treat it. I love to use Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream to bathe the area in moisture. It has anti- septic properties to help soothe the area. Apply a thick mask to the area and allow to penetrate. After a half an hour or so get a stiff towel and using small, gentle circular motions rub the area to detach any dry skin or flakes. Blot area using a tissue, leaving a residue of product. The area will be red, but settle in a few hours. Apply the cream to the area that night, avoiding perfumed products and make- up if at all possible. If you have to wear make up go for a yellow based foundation which will counteract the ruddiness of the skin. The skin should be back to normal the following morning. Alternatively, buy him a present of a professional wet shave set for his Birthday, Father's Day, Christmas or Valentine's Day Present."

BEAT THE COLD

This winter has been one for the record books and your skin has taken a licking. We've outlined some reminder points to help make it through what we hope are the last few days of winter.

Its time for some serious TLC so you can enter spring looking as bright as the colours you’ll be wearing. Be flexible, you might need to use different products in the winter than you do in the summer. Think of your needs and test products to see which work best for you.

A good moisturizer is a definite must. Your moisturizer will help you against the elements by providing a protective barrier. With the wind and cold, moisturizering is your first line of defense, look for products containing shea butter, aloe vera, chamomile, honey, and vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E. Aloe has anti inflammatory properties and stimulates skin renewal. Our Sharps Daily Prep Tuning Lotion contains aloe, while our Urth’s Face balm and Menscience Advanced lotion contains Vitamins A and C. And don’t forget your hands and lips. They are extremely volatile in this weather, like your face they need to be moisturized. You want to prevent chaffing and chapping so look for products like our Menscience Advanced Lip Protection with Vitamin E which helps prevent against UV damage, also reduces water loss and Sharps Lip Stuff with beeswax, its hydrating and beeswax acts as an emollient, soothing and calming the skin

Secondly, sunblock is recommended for everyday protection against the sun and to prevent premature aging. Your sunblock should have an SPF (sun protection factor) of atleast 15 to fight off UVB ray damage. The sun is always out, so you always need protection especially if you are out on the slopes. Don't fool yourself, sun burn can occur in winter. Our Menscience Tio2 has an SPF of 30, and Sharps Daily Prep Oil Free Lotion and Urth Face Blam both have an SPF of 15.

Think inside out, what you put inside your body is just as important to your overall appearance as what you put on your body. Drink lots of water, 2-3 litres a day should suffice. Add B vitamins to your daily routine, and vitamin D (or look for a multivitamin with atleast 400 IU). Our Menscience Advance Antioxidants helps support the body’s defense against free radicals that can damage cells and accelerate the aging process. Your hair and nails can get brittle and dry in this weather so taking a multivitamin and eating a well balanced diet with sufficient protein will help to maintain them and the rest of your body.

Thankfully Spring starts on March 20th, so hopefully the worst is behind us

GIRLS GONE WILD GUY GETS OUT OF JAIL

So after 11 months in the slammer, Girls Gone Wild founder and millionaire Joe Francis is a free man.

The Associated Press reports that Francis, 34, pleaded no contest to child abuse and prostitution charges Wednesday under an agreement that allowed him to walk free after nearly a year in jail.

Francis had returned to Florida after posting a $1.5-million bond this week in Nevada, where he is accused of tax fraud. The hearing resolved a 2003 criminal case involving the filming of underage girls during spring break on Panama City Beach.

He was sentenced to 339 days on Wednesday, the time he has already served in Florida and Nevada and also ordered to pay more than $60,000 in fines, court costs and restitution to the county.

Francis also agreed that his company which makes him an estimated $29 million a year on videos of young women in sexually provocative situations, would not conduct any filming between Escambia and Jackson Counties in Florida for the next three years

Francis advised plea agreement negotiations are under way in the Nevada case and he hopes to resolve them soon.

"I'm going to go back to making videos, this afternoon," he said.

.... just in time for spring break!

GATES NO LONGER RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.

After 13 years on top, Forbes reports Bill Gates is no longer the richest man in the world. That honor now belongs to his friend and sometimes bridge partner Warren Buffett.

Riding the surging price of Berkshire Hathaway stock, Buffett has seen his fortune swell to an estimated $62 billion, up $10 billion from a year ago.

Gates is now worth $58 billion and is ranked third richest in the world. He is up $2 billion from a year ago, but would have been as rich--or richer--than Buffett, had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo! at the beginning of February.

Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helú now ranks as the world's second richest person with a net worth of $60 billion. His fortune has risen $11 billion since last March.
