Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed details of the detox she embarked on last spring to readers of her weekly GOOP newsletter and, according to the actress, the process “was not what you would characterise as pretty. Or easy.” Admitting she needs to “lose a few pounds of holiday excess” our Gwynnie is back on the regime that apparently is so “hardcore” it even caused her to hallucinate. The diet involves drinking lots of water and not eating “dairy, grains with gluten, meat, shellfish, anything processed (including all soy products), fatty nuts, nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant), condiments, sugar and obviously no alcohol, caffeine or soda.”

Thanks to the same company that produces the wrinkle-filler Botox, an eyelash boosting drug could soon be fluttering its way through our beauty stores, creating super-long Jessica Rabbit-style lashes for all brave enough to harness its power. Promising to enhance sparse and thinning lashes, Latisse will first be made available under prescription in America and daily use will apparently encourage regrowth of hair follicles. A word of warning though the product’s company has explained that any part of the body exposed to the cream could show hair growth. Scary stuff, huh?!
