I’m going and I can’t wait! Especially since I’ve incorporated this section into INO. I had a chance to interview Shecky’s President, Claudia Chan. We talked shop about one of the most famous events beauty has to offer. If you’ve never been, you need to give it a shot. It’s MADNESS and WILD and CROWED. But the drinks are free and so are the eyebrow shaping. Did I mention free samples and a SICK gift bag?

Even though Kate Hudson has been linked to more men then I can keep track of (most recently Justin Timberlake), I actually almost believe this rumor.Sources are reporting that Kate and Owen Wilson have secretly started dating again.He was spotted leaving her house Saturday morning and then later on that same day she headed over to his place.
They always seemed like a good match for each other.What do you think, is this true, or just people started rumors again?
