  • When I Grow Up, I Want to Be Lana Del Rey

    Well, I want to be singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey without all the weird career controversy and name changing (real name: Elizabeth Woolridge Grant) and dating Axl Rose. Really I just want all of Lana's ladylike-perfect clothes. I have rarely, in recent memory, seen a woman who looks so lovely, so often; who pulls off red carpet looks, on-stage looks, and street looks, who just knows who she is style-wise and nails it each and every time. These are my favorite Lana looks from the past few months. <br>

("I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen," she explained.) And, though the article is getting loads of attention (while actually being pretty standard magazine fare-<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shine.yahoo.com/event/haven/jennifer-aniston-renovates-her-home-with-the-single-girls-life-in-mind-579649">Aniston</a> watches <i>The Bachelor</i>! She's a good party host! Celebrities, they say things!), it's the accompanying photos that really caught <i>our</i> eye. In them, the actress appears waxen and eerily doll-like, cuddlin' up in unbuttoned pajamas, baring her side boobs, and making pouty-wouty baby faces under an astoundingly thick, spackle-y coat of taupe-tan makeup. <br> <br> Now, we at Shine are all for a 41-year-old woman with a smokin' hot bod showing off said bod. But what we cannot abide, in fact, the one thing that is kind of making us want to slash our eyeballs and then die inside, is a grown-ass woman posing and making sexy-cooing baby faces while HOLDING A STUFFED ANIMAL. <br> Seriously. <br> Why is this a thing? <br> <br> We did a little research and found hot women routinely photographed hugging, caressing, smooching, or otherwise simulating intimacy with furry toys. This phenomenon is not just infantilizing and weird, it's also-let's face it-kind of gross. And makeup-slathered and banged Jen Aniston is far from the first celeb to cozy up in a bedroom-eyes way to the Snuggle Bear. Check out our slideshow below. But, be warned folks. It's kind of grim. <br> Related: <br> <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/jennifer-aniston-interviews-nicole-kidman-then-things-got-weird-2437375/;_ylt=AoA.jyDrVvQSZ1gPO4igN6FdbqU5"></a></b><b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/jennifer-aniston-interviews-nicole-kidman-then-things-got-weird-2437375/;_ylt=AoA.jyDrVvQSZ1gPO4igN6FdbqU5">Jennifer Aniston interviews Nicole Kidman.
